Time TO STAND PAT
Is the Conclusion of a Former Silver
Leader.

Colonel Oliver c. Sabin. formerly
| OF Colorado, but now of Washington
who was one of w. j. Bryan's most
enthusiastic supporters in the cam
paigns of 1896 and 1900. has renouaced
the reorsanizer party and will vote
| for Roosevelt and Fairbanks. During
the campaigns named Colonel Sabin
of Nevada in conducting the Silver
knight" a free silver paper, and in or
ganizing THE Silver knights OF Amer
| ica," a free silver organization. He
also assisted in the writing of the
book, The Hand of Money" circulat-
ed so extensively throughout the coun-
try in the first campaign of Bryan.
In letter, recently published, Colonel
Sabin says:
How it is possible for man who
is honestly in favor of the remonetiZa-
ton OF silver to support Judge Parker.

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. heeled by the
trusts, supported by mouopolistic
money. the grinders of the face OF the
poor is going out asking for the votes
OF silver men to support a man and
a party that has abused us 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 regard to money was more
OF il, and the Republican party came
to it in a different way OF course none
of us cared for The simple question Of
silver only as it affected the volume
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
our country now. Whoever saw such
country? Where in all history is
there record of a country as prosper
Gus as we are today? Look at our
immense expectation of goods, billions
OF dollars being brought into our coun
try from abroad more than we send
out. The like was never seen before
Our farmers only few years ago in
the Western states were borrowing
money at anywhere from to 10 and
in some states II per cent. Look at
them now. You cannot loan them
money. and most of them have money
to loan. anu they are glad to get S
or u p"r cent for it, God is on our side
and the very earth responds to good
times Look at our corn crop. billions
OF bushels: wheat by the hundreds of
millions. and at prices seldom before }
equaled.

President Roosevelt has never left |
us in doubt where he was on any ques-
ton, always straight, honest true and
square. He is an American from the
crown of his head to the soles of his
feet. and nobody can have any doubt
as to his standing by the flag of our
and commanding honest re-
spect. The Democrats would do well
not to carry on their campaign ex-
pecting TO obtain votes from the Amer
lean people by abusing the personality
Of Mr.. Roosevelt If they do. he will
be elected by the largest majority any
president has ever been since the days
