MANUFACTURERS. TOO.

| MANUFACTURER TOO.
This question has not been Tough
out in the manufacturing states Of tn,
| country as it has been in the mining
camps, the wheat fields and the cotton
plantations. But the manufactured
are interested in common with the gen
ersl producers Of the country and the
Oriental competition which has been sc
destructive to the farmers will. in the
end, be destructive to the manufactur.
ers. We hope to see the wheat interests
the mining interests the cotton inter.
| ests and the manufacturing interests
| united against the opponents of binet.
allisnl. For, recollect that ii is the deal
ers in money, the dealers in products
and the carriers Of products that have
| made union against the productive en-.
| ergies OF the country whether those pro-
ductive energies are displayed in the
cotton and wool manufactures in the
New England and middle states, the
iron and coal industries in Pennsylva-
MIA and the cotton industries of the
south, or in the mining of silver in the
great west, and we may rest assured
that this country may in time pursue
a policy of enlightened self-interest. II
will realize it is to its interest as pro-
ducer of one-third of the entire silver OF
the world, as the greatest debtor ma
tion of the world, as the greatest pro-
ducing nation of tbs world, 70 stop the
appreciation of gold, to stop the build
ing UP in value of every unit of this
four thousand millions in gold whose
present home is in three foreign coun-
tries.
REAL SELF-INTEREST
And with the change will come ben
eficent results, not only to producers,
but to banking, mercantile and railroad
interests which are now SO steadily op-
posing us. They will realize that their
prosperity is based upon the general
prosperity OF the country and that the
prosperity OF this country cannot con-
tinue SO long as debtor and producing
nations recognize gold as the only mon
ey metal and by their action build up
its value and increase it's control over
the products OF labor.
This campaign is to open up an era
Of education and in this work the silver
party enters animated by no sectional
spirit; controlled by no feeling of envy
against the more prosperous, but in
spired by the desire to maintain a broad
American policy, which shall protect
IL
whether in the mining camps of the
mountains, the wheat fields Of the west,
the cotton fields Of the south. or the fac
tories of New England. But let US re-
member always in this contest, that
union is strength and that the motto of
our opponents is now, as 1t has always
been---Divide and conquer"
