The Record: There was one clean, clear
issue rising above all considerations as to
candidates or parties or the wOrd-spltting
of platforms. The declaration in favor OF
the free coinage Of silver at a ratio OF
16 TO J., simply stated. was proposal,
by changing the standard of value. to repu-
diate one.half of our public and private
DISHONORAND SHAMECRUSHED.
Though this scheme was urged by
arguments to workingmen out
OF work, to debt-hUrleued farmers suffer-
ing from steady decline in the prices
Of their products, and to uniformed men
who We're dazzled with the promise Of
cheap money. and though it was also pas

credit of the American people they We're
alike deaf to appeals to their distresses
their cupidity, their prejudices or their
passions. Against all proposals of ner-
cenary self-interest and all clamor IF
demagogy, they have chosen the path of
honor"
The Press: THE imposing uprising
crushes diShonor and shame. ItthrUtIles the
wicked appeal to class against class. 1t
tramples on the Gospel of Hate and all its
malign evangelists. 1t strangles the We
numous assault on constitution and courts.
on law and order. 1t scatters all the clouds
which overhung the stability of our cur
rency and opens before us Il new career
Of prosperity and progress. The first effect
will be to restore confidence everywhere
and the first act will be to fix the
stability and the standard of our cur
rency upon firm and irrevocable basis"
REBUKED AND REPUDIATED.
