-TIFH The SILVER REPUBLICANS.
Growing Faction Of the old
Party Talks.

6dELy 4dlRSs
The paper of the Silver Repub-
licans is as follows.
The cunning plans of the bene-
fciaries of the gold standard and
the advocates of the monopoly are
j1st nearing completion. They
need but to win one more victory
to become supreme and to be able
to defy the sovereignty of the peo-
pie for generations. With the
policy of the Republican admins
tration is plain confession that
the secret authors of the st. Louis
platform in 1896 are in absolute
control of that party. Power thus
secured under false pretenses is to
be ruthIessly used to carry out the
Interior designs of the conspirators
The slow processes of % years are
rapidly advancing to their goal,
the near approach to which now
seems to warrant dispensing with
the caution and deceit that have
hitherto been the necessary pre-
liminariess of success.
But this openness of purpose
has the opportunity of patriotism
Honest men should hesitate no
longer if opposed to the establish,
ment of the gold standard in all its
rigor, if opposed to the erection of
great association of banks of
issue as the all denominating pow
er of the nation, if opposed to
every kind of trust and monopoly.
the offspring and adjunct of the
money power.
PERIL TO OUR INSTITUTIONS AND
PEOPLE IS GREAT.
Before this awful and imminent
peril to the institutions of ou1
country, every personal ambition
must melt away and merely parti-
san contention must be stilled
While this issue remains unsettled
Democrat, Populist and Silver Re-
publicans must stand shoulder to
shoulder. in a common cause.
United we can save the republic.
the last refuge of self government.
the one remaining hope of liberty.
to succeeding centuries. The poll
cy of our foes is to divide us that
they may conquer US.
Let no private interest, pride,
carelessness or folly afford them
hope that we shall furnish arms
against ourselves. In every State
and, Congressional district in the
union the close operation should
be our watchword. After full con.
sent together, we should. wherever
there is a Isntest, CHOOSE strong
champion of the common cause,
and to him should be given the
true allegiance and earnest sup
port of every opponent of the party
of gold and monopoly. The man
or organization that in this grave
crisis becomes responsible for dis
cordant counsels or divided ener-
gi4s, does not deserve the blessings
we are all striving to preserve.
CITIZENS AND PATRIOTS MUST UNITE
FOR THE CAUSE.
Patriots and Citizens call
upon you to unite in this great
common service of honest patriot
ism and citizenship. No man
need surrender his party convic-
lions. No existing organization
need be abandoned. While striv-
ing. to overthrow an enemy, no
good purpose is served by empha-
sizing points in which we differ.
But until this final assault of the
enemy on 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
mart of the United States should
act in mutual welfare. To this
object, thus urged upon our friends,
everywhere, we hereby pledge
Jointly and severally. our earnest
and constant endeavor.
