1t end II the other parties. In the deter
mination to maintain themselves In
power for powers sake alone. shall re-
fuse to recognize the right and hope OF
humanity?
The country cannot much longer ex-
ist free and Independent against all the
rest Of the world: nor can its people
much longer be free In the noblest sense

sumo our products.
WHAT BIMETALLISM WILL DO.
The only remedy is to stop falling
prices-the deadliest curse Of national
life Prices will never cease falling un-
der the single gold standard. The res
toration of bimetallism by this country
will double the basis Of our money sys-

stop falling prices and steadily elevate
them until they will regain their normal
relation to the volume Of debts and cred

to bring about the great hope OF every
social reformer. every believer In the
advancement Of the race who realizes
that the prices has been deadly Zoe or

Senator Lee Mantle. of Montana, con-
ceived 1t to be his duty not to withdraw
from the convention, but to remain IN
his seat and refuse to participate In the
deliberations after the adoption OF the
gold standard He distinctly repudiates
the gold standard and has made public
the folloing statement:
Although not having actually with
drawn from the late Republican con-
vention am nevertheless firmly OF the
opinion that In the adoption of the sim
gle gold standard the Republican party
has abandoned one of its cardinal prin-
ciples of faith and ! cannot support 1t
In that position. l believe that Henry
NJ. Teller represents in the fullest and
highest sense the true principles and
purposes Of the Republican party as
advocated by Lincoln, Grant and
Blaine. l fully endorse the suggestion
Of his candidacy for president and do
not hesitate to say that If nominated
shall give him my hearty support. And
urge upon all who believe In the prin-
ciples for which he stands to do the
same. take this position in my indi-
vdual capacity and not as delegate
representing the state of Montant.
