STAND UP FOR ARIZONA
PRENIX. FEBRUARY 23. 1896.
BOWERS ON SILVER.

There is no other representative of the people of California in congress who has stood squarely by the will of the majority and at the same time has been criticised with so much ill nature and unfairness as Congressman Bow CTS. Until recently it has been com anon thing for the Democratic papers of California to charge that Bowers was in secret collision with the Pa cific railroad magnates, and that his opposition to the funding scheme was a mere pretense The fact that he is now recognized as one of the leaders in fihe fight against refunding has tenn porarily silenced them, but with few exceptions very scant credit is given saim by the Democratic press.
 It is not long ago, either, that Bow CTS position on the financial question was ridiculed and the opinion ex pressed by his political enemies that he would be found standing in with the money jobbers before the fight was oyer. Such opinion was absolutely without justification, and was given publicity solely for the purpose of shaking public confidence in repre- sentative whose hold upon the people was too strong to suit his political op- ponents.
 Notwithstanding these yirulent crit icisms Bowers is still lat the old stand" and making it very unpleas- ant for the monopolists and goldbugs whenever the opportunity is presented to either vote or speak against their schemes. On the 7th instant he made 8; short speech on the question of con- currence in the silver coinage substi tute for the bond bill, in which he gave the bond programmers some of the hottest shot they have received during the present session of congress. The following paragraphs will be sufficient to give the reader an idea as to wheth- CT Bowers declared himself plainly on the question::
 Mr. Chairman, what a mess these I 'hax Iof Q condition their theories have brought the country to! I have within a few days received a letter from a friend who was engaged in business in south ern California, but soon after this gov ernment passed under the control of these sound money fnanciers and the business of the country went to the devil in consequence, he moved to Mexico, which country is said to be on a silver basis. He writes me that he is doing well, making money; that the country is prosperous, and he will soon have enough to come back to Cal ifornia, where he would be among his friends and relatives, but where he cannot do as well in a business way. as in Mexico.
 There is not country on the face of the footstool that is on the so-called silver basis that has not prospered every day, while this country has been going to the dogs under the direction of. these sound money pirates; and yet we are taunted with trying to bring the country to silver basis. Well, sir, it had better get on an honest sil yer basis than to be on the dishonest gold basis that it now occupies.
 These are not eloquent words, nor are the ideas profound, but that they are the words of man who speaks his honest convictions cannot be doubted. There is no evasion or equiv ocation. Every word is a blow from

the shoulder at the goldbug pro- gramme and no man would utter them who had any idea of da,lying with the issue under discussion.
 Bowers record is an answer to every charge made against him by a parti- san press.

Coughlin was psychological study.
His career OF bluster and bravado
proved that. He was as devoid Of the
finer Instincts OF humanity as az h

and delighted him. He never ex-
hibIted mercy to others and never
asked it for himself His mental and
moral construction and experience
were such that he found 1t easy TO be
"a dangerous man-anu an enemy 10
society. That he was both no one will
deny. It was not his iault that his

BECAUSE Of the lack OF opportunity ami
the love he had for his OWE use'ess
