LAST CALL.

LASl SALL.
Before another issue of the REPUBLI-
BAN reaches it's readers the campaign OF
1896 will have passed into history. Next
Tuesday the people will register their
wishes as to governmental policy in
national and local affairs.
1t will be the duty of every republican
to go to the polls at the earliest hour,
there to vote and work for the principles
of the republican party, which are just
as honest, patriotic and right as they
were in the days of Lincoln and Blaine.
For four years this land has suffered
under the free trade policy Of the demo-
cratic party. Today large portion Of
that party in utilization with the popu-
lists, greenbackers and the rag tag and
bob tail of every other POLITICAL idea and
ism, propose to add the damnable
plain of an unstable monetary system to
the cut throat policy OF tariff for reve-
nue." Added to these evils the parties
headed by Bryan propose to resurect
the old doctrine OF states rights, the
stamping out Of which cost treasure and
blood and covered many southern hill
side with unknown graves. The idea
that the Fedral government has not the
right to enforce United States laws out
side the District OF Columbia and the
territories except at request Of a governor
of state is not only foolishness but it
is a bid for lawlessness.
Those Bryan platforms favor the re-
construction of the supreme court, I'M
limited Issue Of paper money and an al
most complete reconstruction of the
fabric Of our government.
Such of their schemes as have been
tried have proven failures. The other
scheme of free coinage which they say
will brin.; silver to commercial par
with gold at n ratio of 16 to |; which
will make money plenty, which will re-
store prosperity is a plan which does
none of these things in countries where
it is in force. All the assurance that it
will do these things for US is the I'M
proved assertions Of its advocates.
On the other hand the people know
what the republicans party can do; know
what it has done in the past; know that
under republican rule and policy this
country saw the most prosperous times
that any nation ever enjoyed in the his
tory of the whole earth.
The leaders of the republican party
are time tried and tested in the school Of
craftsmanship. Look at Sherman, ALI
son, Reed, Cullom, Dingley. Davis, Bur
rows, Chandler, Mckinley, Frye, Hoar
and Morrill,, then look at Weaver, Alt
geld, Tillman, Waite, Pennoyer, Watson
Bryan
