ST. LOUIS, June ia. III. Lew
is sent the following telegram to
the Pittsburg Post:
The east can laugh at these peo-
pie. The east should laugh at peo-
pie less and study them more.
This eastern policy of the tip-tilted
nose has already cost it the south.
That region glowers atthe east
across its borders and the fires of
its hatred never die. Today the
west arrays itself against the east
and begins running out it's lines of
battle. The west has become ally
to the south, and the ally will be
found harder, more indomitable
enemy than the original foe.
These silver people are the Swiss
of America. They are poor in all
save courage. They have heard
their war horns sounding and the
battle is on. The Swiss will win,
and whereas Just terms might once
have been made with them in their
hour of might and wisdom the
west will grant as little as it got.
What was done to the west, the
west in turn will do. These silver
men have already made captive
the Senate of the United States.
There they appear the veriest
Spartans of legislation. They can
hold the Senate passes against all
or any measure. They fought the
Dingley bill to its death. They
boosted that you should never have
protection until they had free sill
yer. They made good their boast
in the session of Congress just
ended, and the Dingley bill left
mburied on the field testifies not
only to their plans, but to their
power to carry them out. What
they did to the Dingley bill they
will return in December to do
again to any legislation they may
levy silver war against. McKin-
ley is beaten already.
Many of the Republican leaders
who made open ightsagainst every
candidate before the late Republi-
can County Convention, save and
except those who had been slated
and put forward by the Ring OF
Bosses, MS they prefer to be called,
when they pop their heads up for
office, in the future, as many of
them surely will do, will wish they
had not antagonized the nnti-ring
candidates.
Don't get too warm about poll
tics this hot weather. 1t don't
pay. The politicians are hustling
around quite lively and of course
they infect the common voter with
some of their political fever. But
after the election is over there will
be the same old chilly come-down.
Then you'll wonder why you abus-
ed your neighbor and see that he is
n pretty good sort of fellow not
withstanding his politics.
Every once in while man is
found that says he is in favor of
the coinage of silver, but is OPP
posed to the free and unlimited
coinage. These men do not seem
to stop to consider that the only
way to make silver dollar as good
as gold dollar, is to put them on
an equal footing. Silver cannot
be expected to be as good as gold
so long as the law discriminates
against it in favor of gold. We
now have the free and unlimited
coinage of gold, and the only way
to keep silver up to it, is to have
free and unlimited coinage of silver.
Let them stand on an equality be-
fore the law and there will be no
trouble. Wayne News.
Macs In the saddle;
The Platforms straddlc,
Now democrats paddle,
And wen make 'em skednddlc.
The Republican howl against
free trade has always been that it
is in the interest of England
