country what we may do in this
matter of money, as the constitution of
this country gives our national legisla-
ture the power to ''cOin money and de-
clare the value thereof" The United
States are strong enough to sustain a
financial policy of our own. and aside
from the question of patriotism justice
demands that we consult our own in
terests in a matter of such great i'm
portance. The question is, will we
do it? For myself | can say that, be-
lieying the interest Of the farmers of
Kansas to be iDseparably connected
with the restoration of silver, [ shall

stands for the producers of the west,
and who is believer in that idea that
we can and will maintain financial

this young Silver knight will lead the

by the money changers of Wall Street

sought only to rule or ruin in the Chi

more Importance to the country what
the free silver forces that will meet in
st. Louis on the 22nd will do. We be-
lieve the good Judgement, the true
Americanism Of the populists and silver
republicans will lead them to unite
upon the nominees of the Chicago con.
yention, and thus cement in one solid
mass the forces that oppose the gold
standard party.
II this be done, there is no question
of the result in November. It will not
only be silver west and silver south,
but glorious, resistless, high-rolling
silver wave that will sweep from the
Atlantic to the Pacific.

shoulder to the silver wheel, raise your
voice for victory, and let US hasten Bill

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
: The gate receipts were no big
thing, but enough to pay expenses.
Jim McMullin scorned to knock
just single Dagger. Only two or
threebaggers would satisfy his nibs.
Bob Schermerhorn will not josh
. ''de old man" much about his going
t fishing. Bob knows something about
} "suckers" himself.
The Hutchinson boys are very gen.
tlemanly, and took defeat gracefully.
Their manager, MIR. Meade, knows
good talent when he sees it, and COM
rlimented our boys on their smooth
work.
The first two games here have
, given our people an appetite for more
; of the same sort. and if they will stand
by the Shamrocks they will not be dis
appointed.
