culiar position And, gentlemen, what are you going to do about it?
 Williams News: There is no use beating around the bush. The ques- tion this fall is the financial question; no tariff or straddle will go. It's Gold vs. Free Silver, both representing hu- manity, but humanity vs. humanity is as fichle now as in the days of old. Stand by and watch the play. Some fellow is bound to hold four aces and that generally settles the deal.
 Florence Tribune: It's like the breaking up of hard winter for life long Republican to sever his connec- tion with his party, but when that party abandons it's principles what else can man do and retain his own self respect? This is the question that is revolving itself in the minds of the Lincoln Republicans of the country, who believe the intention was that this should be government of the people, for the people and by the peo- ple," and not government of the goldbugs, for the goldbugs and by the goldbugs."
 St, Johns Herald: With free coin age of silver an assured fact, we won der if real estate values would depre- ciate, or would the gold hoardings in the vaults of the money rulers scale down in power? With silver coin in circulation equal to the bullion product 1 of that metal, it strikes us that the gold l Othellos will have lost their vocation, and treasury raids become thing or the past; too bad.

 Tombstone Prospector: Now that the Republican convention has nomi- mated it's candidate, and no hope for Gree coinage of silver from that great party, except through international agreement-a probability only of the far and misty future-we must await the action of the Democratic conven- i tion on the great financial issue, or appeal to the Poptifists to deliver us from goldbug bondage.
 Florence Tribune: Who can blame the silver Republicans for taking to l the woods, now that their party has declared for the gold standard?
 Yuma Sun: In the adoption of a 1 gold standard plank at St. Louis this week we cannot feel otherwise than that the party made grave mistake. We believe that the need of free coin | of ct1 ic hn nf this country today-far greater than the need of high protective tariff. We believe that protective wall built to the skies around this country would not bring prosperity in itself. There are many things needed to be done to correct the troubles of the times, but the greatest of all is silver to be coined upon ratio of sixteen to one with gold. For many years prior to the present administration of Cleveland we had protective tariff, and the people grew poorer all the time. But in the face of this fact, and within hearing of the cries of the people in their distress, the politicians and would-be statesmen met in St. Louis and ordained that the gold standard shall be maintained, and told the people that it is more tariff they need.
 The party may be successful in the present contest and stamp upon the country four more years of suffering God only knows the suffering among the millions to be endured, the num- Der of virtuous girls and women who will fall because of lack of food, cloth ing and homes, the crimes that will be committed by men who would be hon. est if they had chance. And what is it all for? That we maintain ''sound dollar" Ruin the lives of millions te save a sound dollar! How long car we expect this party, or even the re- public to live under such a policy? | We do not think that all those who adhere to the gold standard are dis honest, but we do think that the gol( kings of two continents, who are at tht bottom of this gold standard business well know that their policy is not fol the interest of the masses, but is ad
 vocated from a selfish standpoint They want more of the wealth, want ;
 clearer line drawn between the ricl and the poor.
 We are surprised that the party tha was born to liberate more than fou l millions of slaves, and has done st much good for this country, should nov
 be the party that aids in enslavins : many times four millions of persons not black, but white.
 It is hard to follow the party alon.
