CIRCULAR LETTER

IL
The third day Of November, 1896
will soon he here. Great issues are
io he settled on that day, Which
will make for veal or woe for the
ensuing four years; and what part
will YOU take on that memoria
day?
The Democratic party in properi' !
constituted conventions has place o
IA, standard bearers in the fe d
William j. Bryan for Presider I,
Arthur Sewall for Vice-Presidel 1t,
and Thos. C. McRae for Congress in
this Third Congressional District !.
In all campaigns there is 81 )mt
one question that is superior to all
others. and in this, we find the
money question is paramount 20 al
other issues.
The Republican party tav ors a
pold or single standard until certain
European Nations willagtee to help
the United States to let.g of this
gold standard, and as II is 20 the
interest OF those Euro peau Nations
to have the United st ates to con
tinue a gold standa d, the voter
can readily see how lo ng it will be
before the United Sta tes will part
from its present gold standard, if
the Republican party be in power.
The time will be so 10 az that dol
lar will become so dear that it may
require five times as much property
to secure one as it does now, and at
, present it takes twice as much
y roperty to secure dollar as it did
te. years ago
I he Democratic party has pledg-
ed tself to have bi-metalism, 1t
faym s and will endeavor to have
en- ch L 'ws enacted as to give the
roId an, silver the same privileges
and tbes lme opportunity for mint
ave and "a culation'
The DepaN ratio party favors the
sn,,l,es+ anon 1t of taxation neces-
sary to pay the, expenses OF running
tbe government economically ad
miuistered, and thu the same shall
be placed alike upon all persons
To carry out the pa torn adopt
ed at Chicago, the Dem ocrdIlc par
tv nominated for Preside ut "llIam
]. BRYAN, a man who is the surprise,
the wonder, and the admiral ION Vi
the whole world. We are ap. '"i0o
when we contemplate the campa 'gh
Mr.. Bryan is making throughout
the United States.
To help Mr.. Bryan to carry out
the platform, the DemocI atlc party
in the Third Congressional District
has placed Thomas G. M cRae as
standard bearer in this Dis trlct'
man who has been tried, I'd mas
never been found wanting ! look
inc after the interests of the peo-
pie, and who by his faithful Sc rVlce
has made himself known anC re-
spected throughout the Un lted
States.
What is our duty on the th lrd
day of November next, if we IRE
sincere in desiring change in ur
financial conditions, and if we E.
sire general prosperity throughou I
our entire country?
Reason and true patriotism teach
us to vote for the nominees Of the
Democratic party which favors free
speech, free ballot, economy in the
administration of public affairs, and
in the free coinage of both gold and
silver, without waiting for some
foreign King or Potentate to come
and help us let go of the gold stand
ard; and the Democratic party has
gone into this campaign battling
for these desirable ends. If you
love our free institutions, if you de-
sire the use of both gold and silver
as money, this is the time to vote
for the Democratic nominees and
check the further aggression OF
European influence upon our coun-
try, and the further aggression OF
trusts and illegal combinations OF
our own land.
True patriotism will dictate TO
YOU that it is the very time for you
to vote for the Democratic noml-
nees, for it is an insult to the Amer
lean people to be told-as 1t is--by
some of the Republican leaders,
that they have money, and their
candidates shal! be elected, thereby
insinuatiug that the voters can be
bought and sold as so many chattels
on the market
Come to the polls yourselves, and
bring your neighbors with you, Let
us not be found among the Hes
slams on the third day of Novom'
Der.
