MUSTUNITE OUR FORCES.

The Washington correspondent Of
Sound'Money says:
''Wan street means to make the
fight of it's life in the coming election.
I have it on excellent authority that
Wall steet is prepared to put up any
thing, even millions, to insure q
"Sound money! candidate being NOM
mated on either a Republican Or
Democratic ticket. Which man wins
matters nothing to them as long as he
will promise to support the Gold-bugs
of the East and the Wall Street shy
locks. He must not of course, be too
American in his ideas, and must be
friendly with British bond holders.
He must above all things give pledge
that he will not 60 to war with Eng
land or any other gold holding power,
under any circumstances. He is not to
be willingto let America be sat upon
first"
Very true; and the aceursed Money
power of the U. s., will spend millions
more to breed distrust between the
Populist and the Free-Silverites and
prevent united action at St. Louis on
July p.
1t knows that there is no hope of
success, for the cause of reform, if it
can divide the reformers into warning
factions.
What will our two or three millions
of possible Peoples Party votes
amount to alone in a contest where
twelve million votes will bepolled?
Let every man guard his utterances
carefully. Let kindness and good
will prevail on all sides.
And do not insist, as some are doing,
that the Free-Silverites must accept
every plank of the People S Party plat
form. The very idea of having two
conventions is that men may vote to-
gether who differ somewhat in their
opinions.
The two platforms of the two con-
ventions will not be hostile to each
other, but one may possess planks
which the other does not.
This will be all the difference be-
tween the two wings of the great army
Of Reform.
If we fail to unite at St. Louis the
results may be most disastrous-they
may be irremediable. Think how
many hundreds of thousands of good,
true, honest American citizens will be
driven out of their homes, with their
families, and reduced to pauperism,
by mortgage foreclosures, and other
wise, if Plutocracy is to continue in
power for four years longer!
Think to what extremes the desper-
alton of the wretched may drive the
multitude;- TO be followed, perhaps,
by repression, by standing armies
and radical changes in our form OF
government: This may be our last
national election:
For Gods sake, friends, be patient
and tolerant with EACH other. Don't
claw each others' FACES. Every man
who opposes Plutucraey is our friend,
our true and treasured friend, even if
he does not agree with us on every
public question. # he is ready to
fight the Gold power that is enough,
We hope the misguided zeal OF hon.
est men will not Internationally sup
plement the corruption funds Of the
Money. power, to tear us to pieces, and
make success forever impossible,

is better than the continuance of the
present terrible conditions. Repre-

A MARTYR TO THE GOLD
STANDARD.
HIS, DYING WORDS ARE. "STANI
FIRM; STAND FIRM; NEVER
VOTE FOR BLACKBURN
AND FREE SILVER

y
ground is getting to be tragic
comical.
State Senator Weissinger, a
distinguished lawyer from Louis
vile died, March the 9th from
the strain of the senatorial con-
test. The sound money men are
making a martyr and hero of him
now, and are quoting his dying
words as the rallying cry of their
furious charges. A pathetic and
soul-stlrring death scene Of the
sound money hero and mai tyr is
drawn with the realism of a Rid
er Haggard. The dying saint on
a couch exhorting his brethren
in the faith to stand firm, and ne
yer vote for Blackburn and free
silver; a crying mother by his
bedside; and strong men in the
background weeping and swear
ing loyalty to the cause they are
fighting for! And the free silver
men are of course to be charged
with the blood Of this hero!
Who says now that the silver
question isn't getting to be a
great issue?
Indeed, it is getting to be a
mighty issue down in Kentucky.
Evidently the fight is getting to
hot for somebody's anatomy, and
we wouldn't be at all surprised to
hear of actual war in the near fu-
ture between the contending par
ties
We believe this contest in Ken
lucky is the Kansas-Nebraska
struggle of the coming political
battle. The passions of the op-
posing forces are wrought up to
such a degree that hereafter it
will be war without taking or
giving quarters in the state.
And the struggle inaugurated
there will give spirit and form
to the same contest elsewhere.
We are satisfied that a life and
death struggle is impending, and
will and must be fought in this
country on the money question.
A struggle that will in the end be
as bitter-we pray it may not be
bloody-as the struggle on the
slavery question. The gold
standard forces will not yield an
inch. They are in power, in pos
session IF the government and
unlimited resources. They are
organized and commanded by the
most skillful politicians and
statesmen of the age: Their
career has been success after
success for a quarter of a CEN
fury. They feel they are invin.

other hand are so to speak at
