rise above party. and the well being of
the community. rather than the gratiil-
cation of the ambitions of sclf-sccking
dciuagogues. bc the paramount issue
with the voters.
The country Is threatened with an in
vnsion of anarchy. The party of JEFF
fcrson and jackson. which has hitherto
stood side 10y side with the Republican
party for the maintenance of American
law AMI in support of the principles of
the American constitution. has been
split in two. One portion o. II Is in n
hopeless and mpotcnt minority. the
other has bascly capituatcd to anar-
chlsm and populsm and has laid aside
the iimc-honorcd principles of Dcmoc-
racy to join in the full throatcd cry of
the pack of hungry reds who seek to
ovrrturn the institutions of the United
States.
The Republican party alone Is the
only staff upon which the people of this
land can lean In this their latest hour of
trial.
l, l. the only organized and equipped
army behind which the common people
of the United States can rally ami
| make u stand aga inst the new invasion
with any hope of success.
The so.cnllod sound money DrmOc-
racy cannot stem the torrent of an
| archism and popullsnl. the flood gates
of which have been opened by Bryan.
Jones, Waite. Altgcld. Tillman and
the rest of the arch apostles of the
latter day commune.
| The coinage question Is not the issue
of the hour. much though thc dcma.
gog!c leaders of the misnamcd silver
Democratic party may try to make 1t
so appear.
| The Issue to-day Is whether the Unit.
ed States shall he allowed TO continue
doing business ut the old stand.
The issue Is whether the Industries of
the country already lang,,lshlng nigh
unto death shall bc infused with new
life or bc given their death blow by
handing over the government, to n pacl;

pursuit of happiness.
Their election to the control Of the
governmental affairs of this country
would DO n calamity.
1t would mean the wl,hdra wal of all
capital and the death Of every form %,
business enterprise IN the land. II
would mean starvation for the wive,
and families OF the men who earn ihcil
bread by The sweat of their brow.
u would mean the degradation of tn,

These are but u few of the misarie
