Republicans of Cascade county. now j..
the accepted time t. strike for your libcl.
ty, the best interests OF your county. state
and country, and to rid yourselves from
the oppressive rule of this Helena syadi-
cate Of political understrappers. and place
true republicans OF the Lincoln and Grant
variety in charge. Vote for men who are
for protection and silver, not for one but
both. DO not permit yourselves to be de
celved into voting for that party which.
while 1t processes 10 be in favor OF protec.
ton, i, really engaged in an unholv at.
tempt to strike down and destroy one OF
the greatest industries Of the west.
As above remarked, we believe the pro-
tective principle 20 be right, but we do
not believe it right for the government to
protect the wool grower, the ron minfr.
the manufacturer, and the steel and tex.
tile worker with one hand and at the ,ame
time with the other destroy the silycr
miner and producer. If the protective
principle is right and good for the che,
1t is equally right that the other should
snare its bounty. We OF the silver faith
90 further: We are in favor of a tariG
that will protect the laborer and not che
that upholds and protects trusts and sti.
lies competition and reduces the price Of
labor. In short We are in favor OF the
republican principles that were promu!ga-
ted by such men as Lincoln. Grant
Blaine and the other great leaders Of the
PARTY, rather than the new tangled lo.-
trines OF Mr.. Hanna and Mr.. Cuav. We
prefer to follow the lead of Lincoln and
Blaine rather than that OF Hanna or
Quay or Secretary Gage or even Mr.. gar
ter.
Did You ever stop to think what vou
are doing while you are voting Tor candi-
dates for the legislature? If not. do so
now. You are selecting agents TO do roul
business, to make your laws. Now. Look
over the two legislative tickets, The re-
publican and the silver republican. Which
of these men would you select TO do your
private business? Naturally YOU would
choCsethe ones whohavcsh shown themselves
capable of successfully conducting tlpir
Owl business. You certainly would not
choose a lot OF professional politicians
whose services are pledged and plighted
to other politicians in a higher sphere and
whose thought for the Interests OF the
state are secondary and entirely suhseryi-
ent to the prior interest of their real EN-.
ployer. Why should You not exercise the
same good business sense in selecting rar
sons to do the business OF the state ami
make its laws which YOU carry into vol.r
own business! We think YOU will.
The gold republican convention Of Ibis
county declared for silver and therefore il
Il argued its candidates are silver men.
But men and things are guaged by the
company they keep. You Will find all
these pretended silver candidates hobnoh-
ing with and being counscllcd, aided and
abetted in their attempt to ride into office
upon the smooth side of a silver plank by
such notorious goldbu9s as Carter. Mar
shall, Sanders. and Phillips and others of
like feather. Why should Mr.. Carter,
who can put the chameleon to shame BY
his lightning changes, desire the election of
Tallant and ~Burlingame and the res. OF
the republican legislative ticket? Simply
because he knows that if elected, the eii.
Yer coating with which these men before
election attempt 10 conceal their real
character will be washed away IN he
first days session of the legislature, and
that they will II and all be ready to vote
for any goldbug he may select TO be his
seat-mate in the United States senate.
VIII the voters of this county be deceiv-
ed? viii you permit the little whitewash
to blind your eyes to the real yellow be-
meath the surface? Beware! Montana
has n Judas in the United States senate.
DO not let another be placed there. This
is the time for the silver men OF Montana
to stand together and vote for those only
who are known to be true to the faith.
