A Last Word to Voters.

In the present contest against pa
trician rule, and in favor of w. j..
Bryan, the masses have at every step,
been confronted by the corrupt gold
ring, the lawless trusts of every char
ter and kind, by every great monopo-
ly in the world, all the combines, and
by all the monarchies and corrupt
bosses of party rule and spirit.
The entire horde who have looted
the public treasury; those who have
ACCUMULATED RATHER THAN EARNED
the vast fortunes they possess; those
who have imposed upon the tax pay
ers and wealth-creators the burdens
of which by the rulings of the
court they are not compelled to share;
are all arrayed in solid phalanx
against Bryan and the common
people. In place of the declaration
of INDEPENDANcE adopted in 1776
they are seeking to substitute the
declaration of DEPENDENCE adopted
at st. Louis in 1896. For your own
prosperity; for the honor of the re-
public; for the welfare of your
children; for the protection of your
home; you should go to the ballot
box intent upon casting an unintim-
idated ballot against the combines,
the trusts and treasury hooters, seek
ing to enthrone Wall Street in con-
troll of every department of the
government.
After having marked your ballot
for Bryan and the common people,
you should permit the same marking
of the ballot to run through its
entire length, for the state ticket, for
Bayless for congress, because he will
legislate for your interests instead of
that of the combines, the trusts and
the monopolies which have the
country by the throat; for Scott
Jewett for Clerk of the Court, be-
cause he is best qualified to discharge
the duties of that Office and can per.
form its duties with less expense to
the tax payers than can the rival can
didate; for w. H. Roche for County
Auditor, because beside being equal
ly as we'll qualified for the place as is
his rival, the office will be a help to
'ito him, while his opponent is well
fixed financially and does not need
the office; for w. s. Harries for Re
corder, because beside his thorough
competency and fitness for the office
he represents the majesty of the
people, the eternal principles Of the
Declaration of American Indepen.
dence rather than the declaration Of
our dependence upon the dictum Of
European monarchies; for VIM. H
Hanson for County Attorney, be.
cause Of his superior fitness and quail
ifieations to discharge the duties oi
the Office in the public interest.
which is your interest; for. John w.
Cannon for Supervisor, because the
people who put him in nomination
pay fully one half the taxes of the
I county; are nearly if not quite 81
numerous as those nominating his
opponent, and are now wholly I'M
represented in the board, and be
cause his fitness and qualifications
for the Office are at least equal to, il
not better than those of his
opponent.
With these last words to the voter:
Of the county we close the most
memorable political campaign since
that of 1860 and one which like that
is that of the people, as against plu.
tocraey and boss rule, in the
government.

New York Journal
THIS FROM A NEW YORKER. TOO.
MT. Thurber, the Grocer King, Has q
Word to Saw.

Word to Say.
Henry X. Thurber, of New York, is
at the head of the largest grocery house
in the world. He is student of finance.
lie believes the people of this country
ere entitled TO consideration in financial
legislation.
Here is what he says:
1--WE say that gold recommendation can
have but one effect, and that is to make
the rich richer and the poor poorer:
that we do not want the same state of
things here that exists in Europe, and
that gold monometallism will go very
far to bring around that state Of af-
fairs.
"The single gold standard advocates,
in order to succeed, must carry with
them a large number of voters whose
best interest is to have bimetallism,
and hence the cries Of '50-cent dollars!
sound money! echoed and reechoed
in the papers controlled by the money
classes.
"Friends, did you ever stop to think,
first, that every man who is living on
the interest of his money is in favor
of single standard of gold? And
second, that it is not because they love
the masses of the people better thnn
they do their own financial welfare?
II am, and have been since the foun-
dation of the party, republican, and
favor protective tariff, but in this
election shall do all can to assist in
the election of the democratic nominee
for president. I believe this country
is in no condition ut the present time
to be forced onto a permanent gold
basis.
1--WE all know that we have been
passing through troublous times. Ibe-
lieye that the general reason is that we
have been tending toward gold mono
,netallism; that if this coultry votes
for the free coinage of silver we will
see an entirely different state of things
come to pass; that our property will
rise in value; that our products will
bring more money; that the financial
pail that gold monometallism has
thrown over us so long will be imme-
diately removed.
II urge my friends to examine this
subject, and if they believe as believe
] to vote and work for the election Of
Bryan and Sewall."

If the increased demand for silver
does not raise its price, why is it that
in August, 1890, silver advanced to $1.21
an ounce here and $1.19A an ounce in
London because it was anticipated that
congress was about to command heavier
purchases of it?
