lltlcal party shall pursue policy which
VIII bring back those days OF gloom, of
Another thing. fdiavu the right to de-
mnnd that the government shall give us
sound currency for the transaction OF bus
mess; that all our currency. whether II be
silver, gold or paper. shall be absolutely
good; so good that we shall hear no quea-
tions about standards, and that the terms,
good, better and best shall be obsolete
words as applied to money.
And above and beyond all other things we
demand that the government shall be kept
in tho hands Of pure. competent md hon
orable men, Az well might we expect to
find dgs growing on thorns. as to expect
good laws from bad men. The governs
f4eht must be kept In the hands OF men
who love her nag and obey her laws. The
head will be wrong II the heart Is not right.
Let us beware Of false. prophets who come
to US In sleeps clothing. Look toyfully
to the future, without beWailiAg the past.
Trust the men who build UP, and not the
men who tear down; the men who create
and not the men who destroy.
Remember. that even IN politics there
are such things as good and bad, right
and wrong, demagogues and statesmen"
