The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1896-08-18

Iowa is filed with farmers who
have been working at a loss for
number of years on account of
the difference of exchange by
reason of the decentralization of
silver. The farmers are begin
ming to learn the cause of low
prices for their crops, and it is
expected that Bryan will carry
Iowa.
Michigan was at one time a
greenback State. Many of her
leading Republicans have bolted
the nomination of Mckinley,
have come out for Bryan and
silver, and from letters from all
parts of the State, the silver
sentiment is spreading there like
a prairie fire, and we feel that
Michigan may safely be called a
Bryan State.
Minnesota is even more pro-
nounced than Michigan in its
sentiments for Bryan.
The last State in the doubtful
list is the State of New York.
New York below the Harlem
river is a Democratic State by
from 10000 to 100000 majority.
1t does not matter much who the
candidate is or what the princi
Piles advocated are. They are
like the old justice of the peace,
who was Democrat because he
was a Democrat. Word reaches
us from the outlaying counties
throughout the State to the eff
feet that the farmers have be-
come awakened to the great nee
essity for more money. Last
year they sold their potatoes for
from three to ten cents buShel
and other products in proportion.
Their land, which but a few years
ago was worth from 800 to 5000
per acre, is worth now from $40
to S75. They are losing money
all the time under this dry rot of
the goldbugs and tariff, and in
telligent men, both Democrats
and silver Republicans, who have
left the Republican party, say
that they believe that New York
is safely Bryan State by from
10000 to 100000 majority.
Now, if we take into considera-
ton that Mr.. Bryan only lacks z
votes of enough to elect from
the States where he is absolutely
certain of receiving their vote, it
does not seem like speculative
prediction to claim that out of
all of those doubtful States that
he will get the necessary votes
to elect him.

The reason why the silver dol
lar is worth 100 cents is because
it has 100 cents worth of law be-
hind it, and piece of paper with
100 cents worth of law behind it
will always be worth 100 cents
as long as the government exists.

In Delaware, the first on the
list, the Republican party is split
In twain, and the chances are
that it will go Democratic as it
always has, and with aid of the
Peoples party it viii go for Mr..
Bryan.
In Illinois there are over CO.,
900 Populist votes. These added
to the Democratic votes, ought
TO give Bryan at least 100000
majority in that State, What
few goldbug Democrats there are
in Illinois will be more than
doubly discounted by silver Re
publicans who will leave the Re
publican party and vote for
Bryan on account of silver.
Indiana is at all times a very
close State when all threelof the
parties are running, but that
the Peoples party have combin-
ed with the Democratic party in
that State, Indiana should surely
go for Bryan.

Alexander 'wept for other
worlds to conquer" after he had
carried his victorious banner
throughout the then known
world. Napoleon "rearranged
the map of Europe with his
sword" amid lamentations of
those in whose blood he was ex-
allied; but when these and other
military heroes are forgotten
and their achievements will dis
appear in the cycles sweep of
years, children will still lisp the
name of Jefferson, and free men

view with indifference those
methods of taxation which give
rich a substantial exemption.
They weep more because 49,
900, 900 is to be collected from
the incomes of the rich than they
do at the collection of $50, 600, 900
upon the goods which the poor
consume. And when an attempt
is made to equalize these bur-
dens, not fully, but partially
only, the people of the South and
West are called anarchists.
1 deny the accusation, sirs. It
is among the people of the South
and West, on the prairies and in
the mountains that you find the
stanchest supporters of Govern
ment and the best friends of law
and order.
You may not find among these
people the great fortunes which
are accumulated in cities, nor the
dark shadows which these for
tunes throw over the community,
but you will find those willing to
protect the rights of property
even while they demand that
property shall bear its share of
taxation. You may not find
among them as much wealth, but
you will find men who are not
only willing to pay their taxes to
support the government, but are
willing whenever necessary to
offer up their lives in its defense.
These people, sirs, whom you
call anarchists because they ask
that the burdens of government
be equally borne, these people
have ever borne the cross on
Calvary and saved their country
with their blood.
l may be in error, but in my
humble judgment he who would
rob man of his necessary food or
pollute the spring at which he
quenches his thirst, or steal away
from him accustomed rest, or
condemn his mind the gloomy
night of ignorance, is no more
an enemy of his race than the
man who, deaf to the entreaties
of the poor, and blind to the suf-
fering he would cause, seeks to
destroy one of the money metals
given by the Almighty to supply
the needs of commerce.
The line of battle is laid down.
The Presidents letter to Cover
nor Northern expresses his op-
position to the free and unlimit-
ed coinage of silver by this
country alone. Upon this issue
the next Congressional contest
will be fought. Are we depend
ent or independent as q nation !?
Shall we legislate for ourselves
or shall we beg some foreign ma
ticn to help us provide for the
wants of our own people?
You may think that you have
buried the cause of bimetallism;
you may congratulate yourselves
that you have laid free coinage
of silver away in a sepulcher,
newly made since the election,
and before the door rolled the
veto stone. But, sirs, if our
is just, as 1 believe it is,
your labor has been in vain; no
tomb was ever made so strong
that it could imprison a right
eous cause. Silver will yet lay
aside it's grave clothes and it's
shroud. 1t will yet rise, and in
its reign will bless mankind.

MURDERED A FARMER
Brutal Work of Three Young
Men In Oklahoma.
RIDDLED HIS BODY WITH BULLETS

They Went Into His Orchard, Destroy
ing His Fears, and Were Asked to
stop-They Told the Farmer That
They Wished to Talk With Him and
He Was Then Murdered.
WHEELoeK, Aug. % David Monk
farmer living on an Indian allotment
seven miles east Of here. was murdered
in particularly brutal manner. Monk
was blind in one eye and his sight very
weak in the other. Three young men
came to his place in the daytime and be-
gan knocking green pears from tree in
he orchard. He went out and asked
them to let the pears alone until they
became ripe and then come and get a
taste of them. They stopped throwing
at the pears and asked Monk to come
over where they were, as they wished
to talk to him. He started, but when
about half way to them they fired at
him with Winchester and two shot
guns, Kidding his body with shot and
bullets, killing him instantly, and then
all escaped.
