NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-The advisory
committee of the COMMUNICATIONS
attached SO the Republican national
committee, issued an address this af-
ternoon 10 the German-American citi-
zens of the United States. The address
in part is as follows:
when our country was in danger of
being torn asunder by secession, a
large majority OF the citizens and par
ticularly the German-Americans stood
ready at the instant to sacrifice their
lives and all they had for the main
tenance of the union.
To-day certain elements are bent on
undermining the honor and credit OF
our country, and in destroying its
I property; they are aiming to depreciate
our standard money, guaranteed by our
constitution. To overcome this danger,
/ ana to remove this disgrace now
/ threatening our country all patriotic
citizens are again banding themselves
together. This danger has been
CAUSED BY THE sELFIsHNEss
( of owners Of silver mines-who are aim
/ ing to find a more extended market
/ for their ly-increased production,
/ and 10 secure for themselves unusual
profits. The distressed condition of
/ business affairs during the past year,
was partly brought about by, change
! in the tariff, which furnished them
with a welcome opportunity for influ-
encing public opinion by continued agi-
tation.
TO champion their cause, they sue
ceeded in gaining a number OF dema-
gogues who, with the aid OF the Popu-
istic and socialistic strikers, made
themselves masters of the convention
of one of the two great political parties.
Through its acknowledgements, the
party now appeals 10 thousands who
are dissatisfied with the present condi-
ton OF life and the opportunity for
making a living. 1t calls upon those
VINO possess nothing to engage in the
conflict with those who own property.

KEEPS UP AN AGITATION
in favor Of changing the present stand
ard into free and unlimited coinage OF
silver in order to surrender the gov
ernment OF the country into the hands
Of such elements as threaten to sub
vert the very foundations on which rest
all the interest Of the waga-earners and
Of commerce and of manufacture. Fur
thermore, il threatens, aided by Popu-
Lstic-arercni&i~c elements, the very
foundation of our onstitution-public
order and the existence OF our supreme
court.
No American citizen who loves his
country can remain Indifferent and in
active in this campaign, for aside from
all ethical considera TONS there are ct
stake the interests of the entire coun-
try.
In view of the Importance of these
questions and The conceded general IN
teligence Of the GeTman-American cit
liens of this country, we believe thar as
the time when our Union was in dan
ger, SO they will now rush to the res
cue OF our nations honor and do all in
their power 70 put an end, with one
decisive blow, TO all the dangers now
threatening our country. This can be
done by voting for the Standard bearers
OF THAI party whicn just came out for
the gold standard. BY electing Mckin-
ley and Hobart, the honor of our ma
ton, the cred-- of our country, can be
maintained and all cur national institu-
tons permanently secured. BY elect
ing these candidates we viii not only
show to our country, bue to all the
world, that we are an honest people and
propose TO remain SO. The more clearly
we express this purpose Of ours, the
more decisive the defeat of the enemies
to our rsfional honor viii become, the
more safety we may hope to
CRUSH THE SILVER CRAZE.
