The call of the western states is for
campaign literature, but in the states
of greatest Importance in this fight,
such as Indiana, Illinois, Kansas, Ne
braska, Missouri, Dakota and Mime
sofa the demand is for tariff rather
than for financial statistics. This
proves that in these pivotal states the
tariff question is not side tracked by
a very large majority.

The amount Of hogging that is done


in any community, in the way live
home newspapers are treated, would
be marvel were it attempted in any
other branch of business. The home
paper does more in the way of aiding
enterprises, than the men who head
the subscription lists with the largest
amounts. If this is doubted count the
free advertising that is done, charge
for it Mt the current rates and see
what it foots up, but when any adj
vertising for pay is asked of these
home industries after they are on their
feet, where does it come in. This is
not justice.

The editor of the Gazette thinks
by the time the election comes off

cans will all fall back. Not unless
the ST. Louis Convention puts free
silver in the platform. What does
the editor mean by "sound mon
ey?" We want sound money, but
we want it to be gold, silver and

silver and paper to be worth the
same as gold dollar in this or any
other country, and any nation that

Editor ofthe Register.
Another Republican is "sot in
his ways" welded to silver and en-
Unused over the argument for the
white metal. He is in favor of the
free and unlimited and independ-
emit coinage of gold and silver at
the ratio of 16 to 1, with the full
and complete reconciliation of
silver as the unit of values and as
primary money. We are not anx-
ious to leave the Republican
party, nor are we bent on doing it
up" But we are anxious that that
party should return to the prinoi-
pies of the fathers and to. cease its
hopeless and fatal wanderings
after strange and golden gods.
Doesn't your esteemed cotem-
porary" know enough to know that
the bimetalic basis of our financial
system, established by the fathers
of the Republic, approved and en-
dorsed by an unbroken line of pa
triotic statesmen, even down to
Lincoln, Chase, Thurman and John
Sherman, (before his apostacy)
has been a cardinal principle ofthe
Republican party?
Doesn't he, she or it know that
north of the .black belt at least,
redicule. irony and sarcasm have
lost its power over conscientious
minds. If the majority of the par
ty have been bought with price
of British gold to declare for a
single standard, and to spurn and
discredit the money of the people
tho dollar of the daddies." They
have no right or authority to I'M
dertake to bulldose the friends of
silver in bringing subseryiency.
Some were loyal, conscientious Re-
publicans long before your ambiti-
GUS and aspiring "neighbor" was
thought of
Young friend, those who believe
that silver and gold should be, as
the fathers ordained, the double
metallic basis of the currency, stand
squarely and influencing on sound
Republican principle. Ii they are
''sot in their ways" you can rely
upon it they are sound an loyal to
the teachings of the founders of
the party.
If some following their impul-
SEES, choose to wander with Mc1Ein-
ley, Sherman and all the greater
lights of Republicanism into the
golden camp of Cleveland and Car
Isle, please allow others to stand
steadfast.
The question of silver restora-
ton, or its complete debasement is
the paramount question. Tariff,
protection is secondary except with
those that pose as the champions
of protection" ESQ called.) Don't
blame them, it is their only stock
in trade. That stock is greatly re-
duced. They know but little about
what they champion" They don't
know how to frame tariff that
will find market for bushel of
wheat or barrel of pork.
Let those that believe in the re-
storation of silver to it's place as
primary money stand steadfastly
together and the Democratic and
Republican parties WILSON come
to their senses. Those unstaple,
wavering Republicans who read,
are to be congratulated for possess
ing so faithful, so disinterested, so
watchful guardian as your les
teemed contemporary"

will vote for no man, or with no
party that is not specifically pledg-
ed to the reconciliation and free
coinage of silver Independently of
