and TO bring back prosperity 70 the
people.
Ii Ii certain that be and the dele |
gates from nearly every Western state !
will walk out Of the Republican con- |
v~ntion NJ 81. Louis IL IL also certain |
that the Western delegates wsil AZ
that time put forward the name Of
senAfo- Teller and recommend him 10 |
all men who are opposed To the gold |
standard As = suitable candidate for |
President on whom the south and
West and patriots from everywhere
can unite In . common cause In
| short, on that occasion the great West
will hold out its fraternal hand TO the
South and appeal for 5 union Of forces
OF these two great sections with CON-
mon interests. these two great sec
tions that are now suffering from the
| same evils and which are bound TO
have the same remedies before they
can prosper. Will the South accept
the invitation:
Mr.. Teller is not only sound on the
| financial question, and opposed TO
trusts, combines, and monopolies, but
| he is also moderate man on the tariff
| question, and in defiance of his party
has boldly placed il in The background
until the Shyiocks and the go!u gam
blers can be defeated, the people given
more money, and good Times rvs.OEeu
| by rising prices. Bv>ides, ~ WAS due
| To the efforts ol senator Teller and
| senator Stewart tina. the infamous
| force bill which the Northern kepub-
licans tried TO place ~ i.Ie .>''iItn wa
defeated. When that neasnr. MAS be-
| fore Congress. Senator Teller. though
it was Republican party measure,
| not only refused To vote Tor II. ont de-
nounced il as the most infamous bali
that ever passed the threshold of any
legislative body in the history OF the
world.
| WILL THE SILVER DEMOCRATS HAVE 1HE
| PATIoTIsM TO PUT HUMANITY ABOVE
| PARTY!
The fact that the Western Republi-
cans will recommend Teller's name to
ali voters who are opposed to the gold
standard will place upon the silver
Democrats at Chicago a peculiar and
important duty. In short, it will test
their loyalty to silver aid the people.
If the silver Democrats in their con-
ventiOn at Chicago refuse To endorse
Teller as the most suitable man upon
whom the South and West can unite,
and in fact the most available man
forces, it will show that they care more
for party name and are controlled
more by party prejudice than they
are by a desire to relieve the people
and restore good times. If they should
turn their backs upon the prU1lered
hand of the West and put up some So
called silver Democrat simply because
he has tie Democratic label on him,
it will be because they had rather
keep Eastern gold men IN the party
with them to unite the silver forces of
) the country and win a great victory
1t is no longer a secret that the gold
men in the Democratic party are de-
termined to hold to the party machin-
| cry and to allow the free silver Dem
Ocrats to nominate only the kind OF
| free silver man that they, the gold
/ men, may select; and there Is great
l danger that il number of Democratic
: leaders with the hope OF keeping the
t party together and holding their State
2 machines ia line with the party, will
| accept these terms from the gold men
t rather than to take a bold stand and
t purge themselves of the gold element
e IN order to unite all of the forces op.
t posed to the gold ring. Teller anC
S his friends have already served no
tice on these men that they cannot
e nominate him (Teller) as party mar
e or as d Democrat. Ii this lie is wise
: because no man can be elected Hre>i
= dent i'll the coming campaign wh'
a wears the Democratic label and mus
n bear the odium and the record o
p treachery and broken promises o
: which that party has so recently beer
o guilty.
: If the silver Democrats should throw
f away this opportunity to redeem tn,
e country from the clutches of the gOlt
: combine, then the Peoples Party AM
y these Western silver Republicans viii
n join hands, and while they may not b.
d able to sweep the country this year
S they will poll more electoral vote
r than the Democratic party can, am
l. come out second in the race, and II
It 1900 the Peoples Party will deliver tn
, country by electing a President and
Congress in thorough accord.
