FOR PRESIDENT
WILLIAM MCKINLEY, Of Ohio
FOR VICE-PREsIDENT-
GARRET A. HOBART, Of New Jersey
ELECTION NOVEMBER 3, 1896.
There will be no profit in free silver
without an industrial system that puts it
into circulation.
What will it profit the American work
ingman to vote for Bryan and lose his
work and wages?
Don't forget that the political duty of
the hour is registration. See that your
friends attend to it.
If Bryan should be elected his Cabinet
would be pudding for anarchists, but poor
stuff for good citizens.
The Silver Convention was called to start
National movement, but effected nothing
but Democratic wiggle.
The only way to get silver into the
hands OF the people is to revive industry
and the payment OF wages.
From the length of time Whitney and
his friends stay on the barbed-wire fence
1t would seem they are stuck on it.
Free silver in the hands of statesmen is
one thing, but free silver in the hands of
blatherskites is quite different affair.
Mckinley is truly representative of the
patriotism, the honor and the dignity of
American manhood; but what does Bryan
represent?
a good party chorus for the middle-of-
the-road Populists would be the words Of
the old song: "Shove her up, shove her
up to the bolt"
In asking the Democrats of the Fifth
District to wash his dirty linen for him,
Mr.. Kelly should furnish them with the
soap, or at least with the lye.
California needs protection more than
she needs silver, as she has gold enough
to run all her industries as soon as they
are made profitable by protection.
The ETGmiEleT says that while Bryan has
no war record ne has been campaigning in
last campaign there ended in Waterloo.
Before any man decides to trust Demo-
cratic promises this year he had better
consider what resulted from trusting the
promises OF TIE same party four years ago.
By the time goldbug Daggett gets
through bossing the silver Democrats they
won't know whether they have been
through campaign or a threshing
machine.
All the enthusiasm of the campaign so
far has been on the side of the Repub-
icans. but perhaps the Democrats will
begin shouting little later on, when they
see they are about to be run over.
There may be few silver Republicans
who have bolted the party because they
are too impatient to wait for international
bimetallism, but there will not be enough
OF them to be missed on election day.
As the Democratic organs and orators
have begun denouncing all the business
men of the country as plutocrats, it would
be interesting to know from what class of
citizens they expect to get votes for their
party.
From the absence of any sound of
growing in the Democratic camp this year
it would seem that all the roosters must
have been eaten during the time the party
has lived in clover with the four years of
Grover.
The gold Democrats are talking of MAX
ing ticket of Palmer of Illinois and Cor
don OF Georgia on the principle probably
that as both are political back mum bers it
might be just as well to start a graveyard
with them.
The issue that affects the farms the forges
and the fresides of the country is return
OF good prices for all products and good
wages for labor, and every man who
possesses any reasoning faculty knows
that these can be accomplished only by
restoring statesmen to Office and esta blish-
ing protective system.
Senator EIkins, who has been q large
producer of silver for sixteen years, and is.
OF course, in favor of the largest possible
use of silver, cannot stand the Chicago
ticket or the Chicago platform. "Free gov
ernment," he declares, ''cannot exist with
these forces in the ascendency. The party
that adopts such platform is getting
ready to die, or the Republic il"
All sincere Populists who object to sur
rendering their principles and their party
organization to the Chicago ticket are de-
nounced by Democrats as boilers and
bribe-takers, and thus does Democracy
make enemies among the very men whose
friendship it needs. As an illustration OF
Democratic incapacity to do the right
thing at the right time this slandering oi
