Kinley and gold Mt the st. louis con

West, the silver West is marching
out The revolt is practically accom-
plishcd. The white savages OF silver
are leaving the reservation for the
war path The great medicine man,
Teller, has set up the war pole, and

own platform, will wage wax on gold
and the East.
THIS means the defeat ofMcKinley,
possibly the death of republicanism
Not the least significant OF the
signs of the honr is the steady con
tirlence with which the silver forces
march away. They leave their fel

There be hills beyond Pentland,

If there be lords in the Lowland:.
There be chiefs in the North
The east can laugh at these people.
The east should laugh at people less
aud study men more. This Eastern
policy of'the tip titled nose has al
ready cost it'the south. That re.
gion glowers at the east across its
borders, -andthe fires of its hatred
never die. Today the west arrays
itself'against the east and begins
running out it's line of battle. TIL Q
West has become an ally to. the
south, and the ally will be found to
be ahardier, more ipdomitabie en-

It is pleasantand easy for the east
to come from its baths nnd,its gar.

might better recall what the Cloths
and Vandals didto Rome.
These'sil.er people are the Swis.
OF America. They are poor in all
save courage. They have heard theil
war horns sounding and the battle is
on. They will fight with the COO

What was done to the west, tn,

These silver men have airead
