purpose whatever
II appeal not only to Republicans
in my own state Who can appreciate
the sacrifice l make in renouncing
party obligations on this question IN
advance Of party action in the preni-
ses. but to the people throughout the
country, without regard to party, to
cooperate in this great non-partisan
patriotic American movement to suS-
tain the Industrial and financial indie
pendence of the United States in the
pending irrepressible conflict
This sentiment influences me to ac-
eept the craftsmanship of the National
Silver party. 1 shall give to this move
ment my best services and thought,
and. successful or otherwise, 1 shall
realize the satisfaction of having done
my duty to tie people and the country
as see and understand it,
In my own state, 1 confidently ap-
peal to the rank and file of both parties
to support my efforts. North Carolina
is an agricultural state and nine
tenths of its people are directly ana

standard I appeal to them to lay
question. disregard party appeals, for

tention and spuTn the offer of place and
emolument.
I've have the example and expert
ence of the last campaign in New York
to show the practica.bility and safety
of men of different parties co-operat-
ing to carry out great measure essen
tial to the welfare of the people, where
neither Of the parties faVoring it
could effect it alone 1t was a coop
Grafton of one issue, the issue of fair
elections. 1t is now arranged to eX-
tend such a plan through all states
on another vital issue Of even greater
importance to this country. No one
party can do this, but a majority of
the people in all the parties want it
done and they can do it if they will
cooperate.
The peril that menaces the people
in the election of a president whose ad-
ADMINISTRATION of the government means
a perpetuation of the present financial
situation can only be avoided
BY THE PEOPLE
themselves. 1t may be too late four
years hence. Present abnormal condi-
tons do not warrant belief in the
peaceful submission of the people to
further oppression and impoveTishment.
TINS gold gamblers may deride the pop
ular ebullition as a system of harm
less socialism, but if they are wise
they will heed the admonition and per-
sist not in their greed of accumulation
at the expense OF the toiling, suffering
people. The plain, patriotic duty of
every American who loves and honors
his country, who would jealousy guard
its institutions, who would die for the
principles that have made it the great
est, the richest, the proudest. the most
independent nation on the face of the
globe is TO assert his manhood and sub
ordinate party success to the cOuntrys
welfare in the impending conflict.
Let US have this metal money re-

Washington's time, when the flag and

seemed TO speak to the people from an
open book.

GOLD IS UPPERMOsT.
1.-The gold leaders are keen. deter

mined. less intelligent and less loyal?
If obey are equal to the others in these
qualities. what is the matter with them
that they allow victory after victory
to be scored against them. and that.
too. when the silver people in the
country are in the vast majority.
The people are enraged, and justly
so. Must they say at least to these
leaders: 'Lo, these many years have
we sent you for silver and you have
returned to us without it; you are I'M

through the bog and quagmire of dis
