The issue is joined; we cannot avoid

people.
MARION BUTLER.
And TWENTY-FIVE Senators and Rep
resentatives of the Populist Party.
Appeal to Free Silver Republicans.
The paper Of the silver republicans
is as follows:
The cunning plans Of the benefciar-
les of the gold standard and the advo-
Gates of monopoly are just nearing
completion, They need but to win one
more victory to become supreme and
to be able to defy the sovereignty of
the people for generations. The pol
icy of the republican administration is
a plain confession that the secret
authors of the st. Louis platform of
1896 are in absolute control of that
party. Power thus secured under
false pretenscs is to be ruthlessly used
to carry out the Interior designs of the
conspirators.
Honest men should hesitate no long
cr if opposed to the gold standard in
all its rigor. if opposed to the retire
ment of government currency, if op-
posed to the tyranny Of IL syndicate of
national banks of issue. if opposed to
every kind of trust and monopoly, the
offspring and adjunct of the money
power.
Before this awful and imminent
peril to the institutions of our country
every personal ambition must melt
away and merely partisan contention
must be stilled. While this issue re-
mains unsettled democrats, populists
and silver republicans must stand
shoulder to shoulder in q common
cause. United we can save the repub
lie, the last refuge Of selfgovernment,
the one remaining hope Of liberty to
succeeding centuries. The policy of
our foes is to divide us shat they may
conquer us. In every state and con-
gressional district in the union the
closest cooperation should be our
watchword. The man or organization
that in this grave crisis becomes re-
sponsible for discordant councils or
divided energies does not help us.
Patriots and citizens, VIC call upon
you to unite in this great common ser
vice Of citizenship and patriotism. No
man need surrender his party convic
tons. No existing organization need
be abandoned. While striving to over
l11iON d cOlulilOll enemy no HOOu p1lr-
pose is served by emphasizing points
on which we differ. But until this
final assault Of the enemy upon the
last ramparts of our industrial and
social independence is repealed. until
the control Of the money system Of the
country is rescued from the hands of
special interests and secured to the
whole people the members Of the great
armies of political reform in every
part Of the United States should act in
mutual justice and harmonious CO.
operation for the general welfare. 10
this object, thus urged upon our
friends everywhere, VIC hereby pledge
jointly and severally our earnest and
constant cndeavor.

San Francisco. June 9.--It appears
that the steamers Senator. City of
Pueblo and Queen, owned by the Pa
cific Coast Steamship company. were
not chartered. but impressed into the
service of the government as tran
sports. The company hopes that the
City of Topeka will be substituted for
the Queen. which at present is in Alas
kan waters. The City of Para arrived
last night and will at once be fitted out
for Manila.
The capacity of the transports al
ready engaged or likely to be chartered
is as follows: China, 1000 men: Colon.
500 men: Zealandia, $50 men; Senator.
500 men; Morgan City. 700 men: Ohio.
1000 men; Indiana, 1000 men: Victo-
ria, $50 men. Olympia. $50 men: Ari-
zona. $50 men; Tacoma, $50 men: CO.
lumbia. $50 men: Queen. 500 men: city
of Puebla. 500 men: City of Para 500
men.
This makes a total of 1900 troops to
go in the next two expeditions. There
were $500 men in the fist expedition.
II is understood that the government
intends to send to the Philippines 20 900
men. At least five more transports will
be needed TO carry all the troops.
