FREE SILVER COLUMN.

ADVOCATE not responsible for this
column.)
Hon. Joseph w. Bailey, member of
Congress from Texas. will address the
Democrats of the county in behalf of
silver at the Court House on Wednes-
day at 1 80 o'clock.
Democrats, remember that this
fight next Saturday is between broth
ers. We must not allow any feeling
to come in among us, that will in any
way cause trouble in our ranks. We
all must be united in the fight against
our common enemy. We call on all
Democrats to support the nominees
whether they be for gold or silver.
Remember to be at the Court House
next Saturday by 80 O'Clock. Let
nothing keep you away. 1t will be
worth one weeks work if you can
overthrow this gold party that have
almost ruined our country. You will
get nothing tor what you raise if they
continue in power, and our only sal
walton is to overthrow them.
The gold standard people are con-
stantly saying eve want dollar that
is good in the countries we trade
with ;" Look at our trade with Eng
land for instance: Last year we sold
pro lucts to that country that amount
ed to $455,OOO,O00. We bought from
them products that amounted to $3.50,
100000. Leaving balance in our fa-
vor of $305,000,000. Will our money
be good there? No man will deny it.
So this drain on our gold reserve is
not for legitimate trade. That prince
of financiers, Mr.. Carlisle, could tell
us few truths why he is issuing
bonds every few months, if he was so
inclined.
1t is said by the Gold Bugs that the
Democrats will have nothing to say in
the Presidential election that the Re-
publicans will elect their President
easy. The Free Silver men will Ger
tainly not support them, for the Rep
ublicaus have always been Gold Bugs.
1t is certain then that if the Republic
cans have any strength from the DEM
ocratic party, it will not come from the
Free Silver men. Then, how do the
Gold Bugs figure the Republicans will
have such an easy time unless they in
tend to support them. Let the Gold
Bugs see to it that they don't leave us
and we can assure them that the Rep
u 1licans won't have an easy victory.
Let both wings of the Democratic
Rooster stay with him, and he will be
growing VIGOROUSLY in next Presi-
Dental election.
Judge French (the champion of the
gold standard in this county, made
this abatement in his speech last week
The issue by Mr.. Carlisle of $500, 000,-
600 interest bearing bonds was to keep
the parity of the two metals; or in
other words, to make the S550,0O0,000
of silver we have in circulation good
as gold. These bonds will cost this
Government in interest and to redeem
when due $57O,000,0 900 in gold. Think
of it ; we pay $570,000,000 in gold to
keep $550,000,000 of silver in circulA-
ton. We asked Judge French if this
Government would not have made
$20,000,000 by dumping all of its sill
YER in the ocean? And like an honest
man he answered, st looks that
way" Now, remember that all this
business is done under single gold
standard rule, and by that great fin
ancier, Mr.. John G. Carlisle. l know
the people want no more of this,
Everybody come and hear what
st atesmen from other States say about
the money question. On Wednesday
, afternoon, May 27, 1896, al l:3O
o'clock at the Court House in Mt.
Sterling, the brilliant orator, Hon
Joseph w. Bailey, member of Congress
from Texas, will address the Demo
Gratis in behalf of the free coinage of
silver. Mr. Bailey is one of the most
brilliant orators in either house OF
Congress, and his address will per-
haps be the ablest exposition of the
money question yet delived in the
campaign. He will divide time with
+ any one on the usual conditions.
