The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1896-03-10

relief came OF this financial ques-
ton and he well knows never
will come from his party under
its present organization. They
asked but once at a time, nor ex-
pected the aggregate of all those
amounts to be issued, and it is
simply classifying the intent of
the leaders to SO present it. His
party would not aid the poor and
distressed by coming silver. No !
the work of crushing the people
by those they had made money
kings, had not been accomplish
ed. However their work is going
grandly on even now and the
patriot who would not, under
such circumstances offer some re-
lief was lost to the hearts of hu-
manity. Even some of the Paci-
fc wing of his party, be it said
to their praise, relented SO much
as to try to give relief; although
they well knsw that they We're
acting with a band of men from
which it had been decreed-no
relief should come. The whole
, affair shows a train of hypocrisy
and misrepresentation that the
devil must admire; and yet we
have faith in human nature this
far : That we believe that when
their next deceiving platform
shall be promulgated, many of
the Republican party will leave
the g. o. p. and either sit dor
mant or will take part with our
people who are striving for re-
lief.
|. The managers at the head of
/ the Democrat party work the
+ same joint combinations to cover
the real issue before us, and will
never fail to use as much dupli
city to keep themselves in power.
But their days are numbered
They have SO bungling done
their work that the nation is
laughing at them, and that once
proud party is sunk in shame.
From their ranks millions are
t ready to turn.
There are one class of our
t people, however, who surpass
all others, in our estimation, in
their deceit, that is the class of
men who go for a different ratio
from that on which our business
has been done and our debts have
been contracted. But the slyest
/ Williams of them all is the one
| who goes for a ratio of 154 to 1.
These men are pretended friends
+ to silver, and yet, if they have
the least knowledge of current
: events and human nature they
know their arguments are more
liable to distract kindly acts to-
ward silver than any other course
: that could be taken. Do not be,
, ieve any of them, they are of the
noble senators stripe that always
| votes against silver.
The Prohibitionists are so de.
2 voted to their cause that they
seem unable to allot time tc
r think of the poor. Surely they
a could see if they did not allow
: themselves to be blind hat al.
the poverty of today has not be
come so largely increased of late
through intoxicating drink. Blu.
many of them will awake from
their dream.
