Ny dear people of West Virginia and
the East. it matters not what your former
politics may have been or is to-day. We
invite you TO lay aside prejudice, high
protection. free trade and every political
bond that surrouids you and step aboard
on the peoples plank OF free silver and
gold AZ the ratio of 10 to 1, and soon'
through the ballot. the people, Democrat
ic party will be sustained The victory
Will be won. Bryan will be our President
and with a free silver Congress Of both
houses. 1t will soon come TO pass that we
will have home market for our products
and manufactured goods in the true sense
for the first time since 1873. Then will we
have, free silver. All the silver countries
will trade with us instead of being our
competitors. India is compelled to buy
wheat Of US instead of competing with US
on the Liverpool market. So up goes
wheat. while corn and oats in the middle
,ates are sold at loss.
The gold countries will trade with us
also. our factories and mills will run as
they never have before. Our coal, gold
and silver mines will be worried at full
blast We will have more laborers and
consumers and less producers. Our farm
ers will have home market We will
get in the West more for our grain and
will not be compelled to keep so many cat
tie and sheep. leaving that industry more

profitable all around. Our mortgaged
homes would soon be free, our indebted
ness soon paid; we would have less liti-
cation and fewer inmates of aims houses
jails and penitenuaries and asylums, and
therefore, less taxes Thee would be no
West no East. no North, no South. Our
flag would float over the free and the
brave, one grand Republic made 10 bios
SON like the rose. My readers, England
holds the balance of trade as the COM
mereiaI center of the world. The United
States is her greatest creditor nation.
Great Britain wants TO buy as much OF
our products with a gold dollar as posi-
Bile She will continue to do so 2s long as
this nation continues to vote for gold
standard. Give us the money of our fore
fathers. gold and silver, and the United
States shall take the first place in the
commercial world.
The gcldbugs would soon cease to make
money by contracting the currency, and
the price of labor and products, but would
be compelled TO invest their gold in COM
petition with silver so as to realize In the
rise of value Of lands and real estate
commercial enterprises. development of
new coal gold and silver mines and the
working of the old ones at fun b,1st. No
factories standing still. but new ones
being built; no idle men begging for work;
no ten men for one job, but work for every
man.
People starving in the midst OF plenty!
Gold locked up i'm the vaults while the
people have the swaney in
their pocket books! Men fall
ing to get work ana becoming tramps and
the producer failing TO find market at
living prices would be a thing Of the past
We have been told that the free silver
craze is buried" 1t is a lively corpse. You
cannot buy truth. 1t will rise again only
the greater. Free silver has come to
stay. Ii will. on the 81 of November
Roll on those silver waves, roll on. Thy
waters are striking the shores of Oregon
and Virginia. and the vapor arising there
from is falling i'm copious showers through
ont the United States. And on the Sd day
of next November. from every mine and
factory. from every city and town, from
every valley. plain and mountain, will be
gathered I'm the harvest through the bal
lot box by helping TO re-establish the
money of our forefathers, and we can all
shout I'm one merry voice: Goldbug par
~ of whatever name. we donounce our
ALLEGIANCE to thee! We are redeemed by
the blood of our forefathers and the ever
lasting word of Jefferson, Jackson and
lincoln. This victory is our memorial OF
their virtues and love Of liberty.
Union forever. hurrah, boys, hurrah!
Helm down the gold5ugs and up with the
stars.
