our history, and coin silver and gold
on that basis, and from thence pro-
coed carefully to take action If any
other action is necessary. In this
work we ask our Republican friends to
help us. Your interest is our interest.
II the gold standard hurts us it hurts
you. If the silver standard will help
US, it will help you. We do not ask
you to abandon your party organiza-
tion. Help US to elect Free Coinage
President and a Free Coinage Con-
gress, If you can help US no farther.
In the time of our country's need par
tizanship should be laid aside and all
men side-by-sfde strive to subserve the
the common welfare.
When James the Second attempted
to overthrow religious liberty In Eng
land, Churchman and Nonconformist,
Catholic and Protestant, stood should
er-to-shoulder for the right, and James
fed from before the face of his people
when no man pursued. 1t seems to
us we have arrived at one of the most
critical periods of our history, and ev-
cry man should act from motives of
the highest patriotism. We admit
confusion exists on the money ques-
ton. In order that it may be cleared
up, we propose to devote liberal
share of our space to its discussion.
II you have doubts let them be known;
if you have arguments against free
coinage, present them. 1t is OF the
most vital Importance to this country
that this great question should be set
tied Alright. God grant that it may be!

WHILE the Republican Congressional
Convention for this district in session
at Pennington last Thursday ignored
the claims OF the ecclesiastical candi-
date from Iron county. they nominated
q "member OF the cloth" from Jeffer-
son. and one OF the same faith as Bro.
Morton. The nominee was Rev. Geo.
Steel, well-known here. having once
been pastor of the Irouton Baptist
church. He Is good and true man,
but very poor Congressional timber,
having had little experience in public
life. OF course, he stands no show Of
being elected 70 Congress, and the Re-
publicans. after their usual practice,
when g nomination is but an empty
honor and means defeat, have put up
one of their most deserving men to be
cruelty knocked over!

ey Democrat who represented Iron
county at the Goldbug Convention In
st. Louis yesterday. Who in thunder
is A. Z. Eaton, and who made him a

inner consciousness OF this section,
without regard to race, color. or pre-
vious condition OF servitude.
