THE MORNING APPEAL
GOLDiTES, COME TO TINE

-
1t is indeed ludiCrous to see the
Er,erprise fall into SO NANNY Slough5
of Despond, either though ignorHncc
by short residence, OF blindness, OF
something worse. An idea
gets into its head and without wait
ing a moment to think whether it is
on the right track ard then go ahead, 7
as Capt. Cutie used to do, it bangs
away to the extent of a column, and
on recovering its senses it finds that
it has been writing a yard olnonsense
and falsehoods which 1t has not the
courage or the manhood to retraCt.
It strikes out right and left, like old
Don Quixote, and after a nights
hard fight with shadows and wind
mills, it returns to the editorial
sanctun the following morning much
the worse for its knightly encounters.
Now instead of fighting wind
mills and discussing irrelevant ques-
tions as to residence of men who have
been here when the State was admit
ted into the Union, or a tariff on
borax leaving out altogether the tariff
on wool, hides, cattle. lead etc, OF
the importation of ''pOlitiCal tricks
ters' when the party making such
assertions was imported for that very
purpose, would il not be a good thing
to enlighten the people on the Repub-
lican policy which the Enterprise is
advocating, which is absolutely ruin
ing the industries of the State? Why
not defend the gold standard which
the great Republican Party of the
Nation demands must be preserved,
aud which has closed nearly all the
mines on the COmStock and left the
people III despair; why not ~eulogize
the bond-stealihg greenback-retiring,
bank-nOte policy of the Mckinley ad-
min1stration which Senators Jones
and Stewart, and Congressman New
lands have repeatedly denounced;
why not praise McKinley-Hanna-
Gage for carting everything away
from the Carson Mint, turning it into
a Blacksmith shop, and taking
thousands of dollars from the State;
why not uphold Hanna, the guardian
angel of the Republicans, for saying
free coinage declarations were in
direct opposition to the principles O
the Republican party as declared al
St. Louis; why 0 claim hal the
people of Nevada are fools for refus,
ing to support any man for office who
is against their chief industry.
An explanation of these various
points would interest the unemployed
miners Of Nevada much more thar
a denunciation of their representa-
tives in Congress who have beer
working to restore former prosperit,
and who have obtained benefits 70
the State in spite of Republican op
position, and whose only fault, in Re
publican eyes, lies in the fact tina
they found out that the old Republi
can party vas a gold party and op
posed to the people, and who at one
left the party, followed by nineteenth
of the voters of the State, and who -
tend to follow them until free coina-
is established and our miners an
laborers are again put to work.
The policy advocated by the Enc!
prise and other gold Republica
organs, is totally against the best il
terests and welfare of the State {
Nevada, and it is time for them t
eXCus their short comings to til
people or defend their action. Ca
and will these papers attempt t
make a defense? The people wi
wait and see.
