ARE AGAINST SILVER.
That's All the National Blmetallist Cares
to Know About Men and Things.

AHat All the National BimetalliSt cares
to Know About Men and Things.
Some Of our contemporaries seem to
be laboring under misapprehension
with reference to the position of this
paper and a word of explanation may
not be ill-timed.
The National Bimetallist has moth
ing but kind words and kind feelings
for all who are laboring for the remon-
citation of silver.
1t is endeavoring to educate the peo-
pie to the very best Of its ability, and,
what is more, it is not seeking to make
any money out of it.
II it can do some good, and just pay
expenses, the ambition OF the manage
ment will be more than satisfied
We also desire to say once more and
in the clearest possible way that the
National Bimetallist does not repre-
sent the Patriots of America" or any
other secret political organization
whatever. Its work is being done
openly, honestly and in the great TO-
rum of the American people.
Referring to a suggestion lately made
that the National Bimetallist strikes
Democratic sold bugs only, we desire
to say that we really did not know
that Mr.. Sherman was, or ever had
been, a Democrat. Our recollection is
that We have struck him a few blows
and one page of each issue Of this pa
per regularly links the names of Sher-
man and Carlisle.
An attack upon Sherman is in effect
an attack upon every other Republican
who agrees with his views.
We very freely admit, though, that
our heaviest blows have been aimed at
Cleveland and his Democratic cuck-
COS. That, however, is merely because
the Cleveland administration is now
in control of our finances and is the
great power that Immediately confronts
us.
Our structures upon Cleveland, Car
Isle, Herbert, Morton, Eckles and
Preston have been called out by their
recent utterances and relate to cur
rent events.
If they were in private life we should
have paid no attention to them except,
perhaps, as their utterances might have
furnished texts upon which we could
have advantageously laid the true doc
trine of bimetallism before our read
erS.
The silver question cannot be settled
by wildly kicking at nothing and vast
ing whole magazines of ammunition on
the manner in which silver was demon
etized twenty-five years ago. What we
want chiefly is to show that it is for the |
best interests of the people that it
should be restored, whatever may have
been the method of its demonstration |
In conclusion, and for all, we desire |
to say that the National Bimetallist |
stands upon absolutely impartial |
ground. 1t will attack a Republican |
just as readily and as strongly as it will |
a Democrat. But the prominent Re-
publican anti-silver men have been ely
ing low" OF late. When they emerge
from cover our guns will be trained |
upon them, and if they don't get hurt
it will be because the National Bimet-
allist is not able to bring the necessary
force to bear.
This journal makes the cause of BIZ
metallism paramount to every other
question and will strike with all its
power any man or any party that il
opposed to the complete restoration of
silver. But it does not intend to waste
its shot upon those who are in hiding,
whether they be Republicans or DEM
ocrats.-National Bimetallist.
