10 single Dress Patterns. No two alike.
We shall print and mail this paper on
Monday, instead of Tuesday next week, in
order that we may strike one more blow
for cause which we think, if successful
at the polls next day will be of greater
benefit to the toiling masses, who com.
prise the great majority of our population,
than can from past experience be realized
from the election of William Mckinley,
the plepged defender of banded wealth
-H,aaterdon Democrat.
When you issue it, please print the fol
lowing editorial from the H,nterdor
Democrat of June 10Th last:
"Local Democrats may at least con
graduate themselves that their party il
New Jersey will stand for Sound Money
at Chicago, whatever the result of thu
Convention may be. This is something
elf the Free Silverites and Populistl
prove powerful enough to assassinate thu
party as an organization by controlling
the Convention and writing a platform
for CHEAP MONEY AND NATIONAL
DISHONOR, and surmount it with can
didates who acknowledge themselves al
OPPOSED TO THE PROSPERITY OF
THE COUNTRY and the interests of The
Democratic party, we here in New Jersey
will have cause for thankfulness that We
contributed nothing to this deplorablC
end.
"For in our State Convention at Tren.
ton a few weeks ago delegates were
chosen who pledged themselves to Sound
Money. These men may be trusted.
They will go to Chicago as the honest
representatives and opponents of the will
of the New Jersey Democracy. There.
fore, il our party is handicapped by a
declaration for DECEASED CURRENCY
no fault can attach to us 10 this State.
We will have no part in the disruption OF
the party.
with ringing platform for one hun
dred cents to the dollar and a pledge OF
more economical expenditures in gov
eminent affairs than characterized the
late Congressional session, there would
be no reason TO doubt that the Demo
Gratis would sweep the country. But on
the other hand, should the SILVER
CRAZE prevail, Democracy is defeated
even before the battle begins. In case
the "craze" prevails it will scarcely be
worth while for us to make a single rally
around the time-honored hickory pole.
For with Cheap Money as the party
shibboleth THE HICKORY WOULD
HAVE NO MEANING"
And also insert the following editorial
from the same issue of the Democrat
''If the United States government can
take fifty cents worth Of silver and
stamp it one dollar, and at the same time
persuade the people that 1t is a dollar,
good in this or any other country for O
hundred cents, what is the sense 10
worrying about the National debt, OF
why allow the debt TO exist at all II
government fat can invest pinch oil
silver with the dignity of dollar it can
just as readily declare the National debt
paid. The one proposition is as easy as
the other"
And when you issue it, please dom
fail to put in it the following from the
H,mterdon Democrat of July 7th:
ga cause of regret in the present
crisis--a reason for just complaint
that that generally dscredited an
archist, Gov. Allgeld, of Illinois, ant
Governor Tillman, the South Carolnt
rowdy and blackguard, should have
the places of leaders, il not dictators
in the present [Chicago] Convention. +"
And the following from the same issue
"One of the speakers at the convention
OF socialist unions in New York, on Mon
day, predicted that the triumph of social
ism in France and Belgium will be follow
ed by its triumph in the United States
and the speedy humiliation OF capital
He doubtless had in his mind the posi-
bic success Of the free silver party a
the coming election. That would b
the entering wedge of the annihilatior
of capital here. 1t would slice of one
half OF 1t at one stroke by the substitu
ton of the silver standard for the pres
ent gold standard OF values"
