ing the campaigns named Col. Sabin was
associated with Senator Stewart. of Ne
vada, in conducting the "Silver Knight"
free silver paper. and in organizing
1.-The Silver Knights OF America" a
free silver orga ganizntion. lie also assist
ed in the writing of the book, "The Hand
of Money" circulated no extensively
throughout the country in the first cam
paign of Bryan. In a letter. recently
published, Col. Sabn says:
How it Is possible for a man who Is
honestly in favor of the remonetizatiOn
of silver to support Judge Parker. who
Is the very pet. the idol. you might say,
Of those men who defeated Bryan, l
cannot conceive. Look over the whole
list, from cx-President Cleveland. ex-
Senator Hill, Richard Olney. and, with
out naming them, the whole manage
ment of the Parker movement now. and
we find that they were either the active
or passive enemies OF free silver aud of
Mr.. Bryan. and, in fact. of everything
that we. as silver men, held to be i'm
portant in our campaign. They not
only were against us in sentiment. but
they organized a third party, went in
and tried to destroy Mr.. Bryan and the
Democratic party, and they succeeded.
Now this same old gang. bought up by
the trusts, hceled by the trusts, sup
ported by monopolistic money. the
grinders of the face OF the poor. is 60
ing out asking for the votes Of silver
men to support a man and a party that
has abused MS and our people more than
they ever have the Republican party.
More Money In Circulation.
'The Republican party. with what
faults it may have. cannot be accused
OF being insincere. and, furthermore. the
Republican party has come to where we
wanted them. What we wanted in re-
gard to money was more Of 1t. and the
Republicans came to 1t In different
way. or course none Of US cared for the
simple question OF silver. only as It af.
fected the volume Of currency. There
was too small an amount of money In
circulation to do the business of the
country. Now we have plenty OF
money.
Look at the financial condition of onr
country now. Whoever saw such a cOun-
try? Where In all history Is there rec.
ord of a country as prosperous As We are
to-day? Look at our immense exportn-
ton Of goods. billions OF dollars bcing
brought into our country from abroad
more than We send out. The like was
never seen before. Our farmers only
a few years ago In the Western States
were borrowing money at anywhere from
q to 10 and in some States Il per
cent. Look at them now. You cannot
loan them money, and most Of them
have money TO loan. and they are glad
to get 5 or q per cent for 1t. God II on
our side. and the very earth responds to
good times. Look at omr corn crop. bill.
lions Of bushels: wheat by the hundreds
OF millions, and at prices seldom before
eIunled.
Good Time to "stsnd Pat"
Taking IL altogether. We hud every
body and everything prosperous. and
as 1t stands now | am of the opinion.
very much, of these Iowa follows who

vorx we ask. only this. we want pros

homes, and It makes them valuable and
useful citizens.

ing the personality of Mr.. Roosevelt. II
they do, he will be elected by the largest
majority any President has ever been
since the days Of Horace Greeley. Ev.
eryhody knows Mr.. Roosevelt Is straight.
and whether you are his political friend
or enemy. you know he Is n gentleman.
honest, upright aud sincere.
"Thc attempt to show that he is wild

a. well as In the affairs of life, a man
should be honest and sincere. Now,
the gentlemen who are managing this
Parker boom are neither honest nor
sincere. Mr.. liill. | suppose to be the
manager Of the whole concern. MS he

idea. and thought 1t was n good scoop
on the Republicans. They would no

than they would OF flying.
Take 1t with the money question.

body into the belief that they could sup.

used to he. There il no sincerity In III.
