s.Silver Republicans will unite with the
Democrats in controlling the affairs OF
this state in the future said pronli-
nent member of that wing yesterday 1t
is all off with us so far as the old party
is concerned, in the future. We can get
nothing by union with the other fell
lows: they want US for no purpose other
than to vote with them, while they divide
the snoilS of Office. OF course we 90 not
expect much from the administration OF
Mckinley. But it appears from all mol
cations that war is to be mace upon
us for all time, unless we come IN anu

right and would do the same thing over
again if l had the chance.
1T is going to be quite easy for me
and many others to become Democrats,
he continued. ''Of course we have been
shouting for protection right along, and
all that. but there isn't so much in 1t as
the Republicans would have us believe
The doctrine of protection, summed up,
means protection for the east and very
little for the west. Look at our lead IN
terests. True, we are getting small
show at the present and lead IS better
than it was, but ere the tariff bill is
passed the lead trust will have gotten IN
its work and we will be but little better
off than before. The lead trust wants

man raises. the duty is considerable IL
protects him to a large extent. but when
it comes 10 the kind we grow, that is dit
ferent. We come out at the small end
of the cornucopla-
Looking at the situation as it exists,
with the Democratic party the only
friend of silver in existence, with the
Republican party its aVowed enemy, with
no hope of "A better future except from
legislation proposed by the Democrats,
1t appears TO me about the only thlnS
left for us TO do is TO get in line with the
Democrats and work with them until
we have gained victory. Then we will
STAY with them and help enjoy it.
In the late campaign it was only the
riff raft of the party which supported
McKinley-the office-seeking clement
They had all to gain and nothing to lose.
They rallied round the flag, boys and
sacrificed every principle dear to the men
of the west. Now, every mother $ son
of them is in line for an office, or looking
to control patronage. Glance over the
list and see how they stand. Jake Greene !
