cratic president or the woman
Bryan Silver club.
in the history of our country. The argu-
ments which have been made in behalf
of independent bimetallism and the i'm
mediate restoration of the financial pol
icy and system which was in force and
prevailed for eighty odd years prior and
subsequent to 1873-the soundness and
security of which has never been an
swered.
Our opponents have failed utterly to
meet argument with argument; on the
other hand we have been met with
storm of vituperation and abuse and
TRADE of epithets. We are Informed in
Associated Press news that seventeen
thousand and three hundred new speak
ers have been turned loose in the twelve
central states.
DR.. Weir Mitchell has discovered that
the poison of the deadly cobra becomes
harmless when exposed to the sunlight
Then friends, lovers of liberty, sons and
daughters of freedom, and defenders Of
the American flag, uncover this deadly
cobra that comes to us from foreign
shores and let the light shine in.
The demonetization act of 1873. that
black cloud that has hung in our ma
tion's sky so long and in whose inky
folds no rainbow was ever seen,. will
soon be a dark memory of the past. for
our husbands, fathers, brothers and
sons will obliterate it from our political
horizon on Tuesday the Sd day of No
vember next.
There is but one remedy to bring pros
perity to our nation, and that is the re-
storation of silver, and the longer you
delay the greater will be the difficulty
in applying it.
MT. Bryan tells us: when the United
States, without waiting for the aid or
consent of any other nation, opens its
mints to the free and unlimited coinage
of gold and silver at the legal ratio of
l6 to /, it will bring real relief to its peo-
pie and will lead the way to the restora-
ton of bimetallism throughout the
world 1t will then be prepared to per-
feet it's system of finance. furnishing
paper money, invested with legal tender
qualities and sufficient in volume to sup
ply the needs of commerce. Its paper
money will not then be loaned to favor
ties, but will be paid out in the expenses
of government so that all may receive
the benefits in decreased taxes.
In full view of all these bloated bond
holders, the plutocrats of this nation,
have done, whose hands. though so1tiy
tgloved. are still those of iron claws, and
are reaching out to put gives on the
| wrists of the masses of the people-in
full view of all these facts, should not
the American voter wake up!
They may call us anarchists and fa-
natics, but unless all history is lie, or
some miracle has changed the heart of
man. no government like ours can stand
and live when, through the ballot. it
crowns ignorance and the money power
king and elevates such men as Mark
Hanna to place and power.
Even it there were no God, who with
his own hands blesses and rewards the
i nations that reveres his name, the time
would come when, by the very law of
would be so honeycombed with political
vice nd lust that it would fall of its own
weight.
| One of the pleasing features of the
closing days of this campaign is the in
terest manifested by the women and the
school children of the public schools
| Education is the bulwark of civil and
| religious liberty: it Is the safety-valve
| of free institutions, and the public
school is the lode star of American free
dom. and in it will be the solution of all
| great national problems of the future.
| There is another matter that / wish to
present for YOUR consideration. the wo-
mans amendment, which will be voted
| on on Tuesday. the Sd. The right of wo-
man to vote is contained in the principles
| of republican governments govern
ment of, by and for the people. 1t is a
self-evident fact that she has right to
| exist, a right to a half-interest in her
control of her children. a right to her
share of her husbands property, and a
| right to a share of her parents estate
The voters Of California should set an
object lesson to all the other states of
| the union, and say to us: 1--WE give you
| the ballot as your undisputed right as
| an American citizen We give it not
| through fear or coercion, but in recogni-
| tion of your right. as we have defended
you in the past: and we shall expect you
to use this privilege for our good as we'll
as for your own and the common well
fare of the country" 1t is impossible
to say all 7 desire in twenty minutes
In conclusion. I appeal to You as Amer
leans: Rise in the might of your citi-
zenship and vote such a stentorian yes
for William j. Bryan and the eleventh
assembly amendment as will ring and
reverberate throughout the length and
breadth of this continent and brig
freedom and liberty to nations yet un-
born.
