SILVER MANIFESTO
The manifesto Of the Silver Repub-

The manifesto of the Silver Repub.
lican is as follows:
The cunning plans OF the benefc-
iaries of the gold standard and the
advocates OF monoply are ust nea1lns
completion. They need but TO win
one more victory to become supreme
and 10 be able 10 DEFY the sove.eienitv
OF the people of the generations.
With the policy Of the Republican
Administration is a plain confession
that the secret authors OF the St.
Louis platform of 1896 are in absolute
control OF hat party. Power thus
secured under false pretense is to be
rulhlessly used 10 carry out the utter
lor designs of the conspirators.
The SLOW proceose, of twenty-five
years are rapidly advancing to their
goal, the near approach TO whiCn now
seems to warrant dispensing with the
caution and deceit that have hitherto
been the necessary prelilni1arles of
success.
But this openness Of purpose has the
opportunity of patriotism. Honest
men should hesitate no longer # o.
posed to the establishment OF the gold
In all Its rIgDr, if opposed TO
the retirement of Government cur
rency; II opposed 10 the erection Of a
great ASSOCIATION of banks of issue as
the all-domlneering power in the ma
ton; if oppooed 10 every kind of trust
and monopoly the off, pIing and ad-
]unct OF the money power.
Before thls awful and imminent
peril 20 the institutions Of our coun-
try every personal ambition must
melt away and merely partisan con-
tention must be stilled. NJ lle this
issue remains unsettled Democrats.
Popullsts and Silver Republicans
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 policy Of our foes is to divide us
that they may conquer us. Let no
private interest pride, carlessness or
folly afford them hope that we Shall
furnish arms against ourselves. In
every State and Congressional dis
tnct IN the Union close corporation
should be our watchwo1d. After full
consent together we should, when-
ever there is a contest, choose a strong
champion of the common cause, and
to him should be given the true al
legiance and earnest support of every
opponent OF the party OF gold and
monopoly. The man or
ton that in this grave crisis becomes
responsible for ~dlscordant counseis
or divided energies does not deserve
the blessing We are all striving to
preserve.
Patriots and Citizens; We call upon
you to unite in this great ommon
service OF citizenship and PATRIOTISM.
No man need surrender his partv con-
vlctlons. No existing Organization
need be abandoned. While striving
to overthrow a common enemy. no
good purpose is served by emphasizing
point il which We differ. But until
this final assault of the enemy on the
last ~IampartS Of our industrial and
Social independence is repealed, until
the control of the money system of
the country is rescued from the hands
of speciai 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 Ill mutual justice and harmonious
cooperation for the general welfare.
To this object, thus urged upon our
friends everywhere. we hereby pledge |
joint and severally our earnest and
constant e%ndeavor.
