The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1896-06-30

/ The St Louis convention un-
covers the aims of the Republi-
can party. They are for cur
falling our currency; evidently to
the end that the banks, that are
their advisers and supporters
and controllers, may get greater
rewards and the people less for
their efforts of life. They simply
reduce the theory to this end;
that watchful cunning shall be
paid dividends, of great magni-
tude, from honest and unsuspect-
ing toll. They have a system of
obtaining from the rewards of
labor, per cent of bank profit,
that surpasses anything before
known to the world; and this
party is pledged to continue the
grasp that wealth has upon all
toll and do not wait and watch
for plunder as long as it is pos
sible to retain the people in
their ranks, by cunning pretence,
persuasion, delusion or oppress-
ion They stop at no exertions;
they are discouraged at no fail
ures; they falter not at any
means-no matter how base or
wicked their plans and expecta-
tons. But they have overdone
their work They have made it
so plain that masses are awaking
to the situation; and many, who
have shared in the leadership i'm
their ranks, believing that the
hypocrisy displayed heretofore
In their platforms was meant in
good faith, have become dis
heartened in their efforts. and
cease longer to uphold, what
they now see is but libel upon
the truth To all those who can
now see, as the great reality is
played in its full form upon the
Republican stage, and who per
haps for the first time behold the
fact that in that party there is
no hope, we give most hearty
welcome. And we trust we viii
find each one of those who have
fought SO valiantly in the Repub-
hcan party, believing that in it's
ranks all needed reforms could
be brought about. ready to join
with the reform spirit of the age
to make our nations blessings
more evenly distributed to all
who are willing to labor for an
honest reward; and to lessen the
profits of those who wait and
seek through crafty deceptions,

that our nation is breaking away
from old party chains and is now
resolving to act in the interest of

being baptised anew to the wor-
ship of the holy doctrine that
man should enjoy the full reward
of his personal merits and labor.
