MUM OF the gold"
The speaker referred 20 the bill pend
ing in gre which provides for the
retirement of silver certificates and
greenbacks and showed where II favors
the money holders. They have IL in
their power to limit the issue of money.
| They have the power to create panics
at any time. In times of panics the only
man with power Is the sheriff of the
county. Under the gold standard wages
will surely fall. MIR. Mats also re-
ferred to Carriers claim that the labor
ing man is better on under the gold
standard. for his dollar then is worth
200 cents.
The Citizens Ticket.
w have i'm this county apparently a
division of sentiment. one of which ig-
nores silver. IL makes no difference
how wide the mud batteries are opened
against your attorney general and me.
The citizens ticket is really a goldbug
ticket and the man who votes Ii will
vote for a goldbug. No silver man will
stay on a goldbug ticket. (Applause).
Garter does not tell you about the
miners who were driven out Of Philips
burg and Neihart when he talks gold.
These men found employment In your
midst" (Applause).
Mr.. Mats spoke in plain terms of the
great importance of the silver question.
\ A vote for any other policy means the
continued silence of the mines in parts
OF this state. Don't send a gold stand
ard man to congress-" he urged. Il
expect that Carter has already in his
mind prepared kilograms To Hanna and
other gold standard men i'm Washing
ton telling them that the people of
Montana have elected Marshall to con-
gress."
With impressive eloquence Mr.. Mats
asked IL the thousands OF men who
voted for Bryan two years e were
going to permit the news to &c forth
over this broad land hat Montana has
gone back on Bryan. He urged the
voters not to be Influenced by the talk
OF individuals who are not in the fight
for silver and not to vote the con-
glomerate ticket which contains the
names Of seven %goldbugs. The great
pending question should not be sac
rificed at the behests OF any man or
his money. and that sentiment was APP
~plauded with all the vehemence at the
command of a large democratic silver
audience. Then Mr.. Mats went into
one of the most interesting and in
structive discussions of the money
question ever heard i'm this state. The
1 customary dry none talk Of the aver
age platform orator Is dry, blu the talk
listened to last night seemed to strike a
responsive chord and the audience
manifest the deepest interest in II.
The republicans say that II would
be an experiment to establish indie
enden free coinage. but they don
want us TO try that experiment. IL IL
should prove to be an unwise piece OF
legislation. IL could be repealed. They
have repealed IL before, and IL can be
lone agani."
After Mr.. Mats concluded the band
played a patriotic air. while the speaker
went to the opera house and MIR. Hart
man appeared In the Auditorlum. Ills
