terest in politics, but, of course, we be.
lieve in the free and unlimited coinage OF
both silver and gold at the ratio Of 16 to /.
Aud We have enough confidence In the
friends of free silver to believe that they
will sweep the United States az a great
wave sweeps over the ocean. But do not
think that we mean that the free silver
ties will stop when they strike something
solid, as the ocean wave does when it
strikes the shore, for we mean no such.
But We do believe that the friends of all
YER will gain such q victory over the gold
bugs that they will never be able to raise
the cry of sound money again. Bot
where Is the manic lead the Silver Party
tn victory? The answe comes, "'In the
United States Senate" That man is
Hon. 3. R. TillmaD. We believe that
under his leadership we will again have
prosperity and happiness among the Ia
boring classes. Tillman has done more
for the good of the poor downtrodden
farmer than any other man In the last
century. If his opponents will trace him
from the beginning of his public life up
70 the present they cannot help seeing
that he has done more good for the PEG.
pie than ony one else. We care not how
soon he may be placed in the Presidents
chair.
