The platform which catcties the silver men next race must not stop at an expression in favor of bimetallism, or "an enlarged use of eilyer." That U too tbin for '90 and besides it is worn oat. It Caught its gudgeon in '92. It is now "old bait." The adipose patriot of Buzzard'e Bay can't awing It next time, and if he expects to be president presi-dent -next time, or at any time in the future, he must Ret over that nonsense. Nothing but an out and out free coinage coin-age declaration will do the next candidate candi-date a bit of good. The world has eeen enough misery already with a short money supply. The west having had a taste of 45 cent wheat for three years is willimr now to part with equivocal expressions, ex-pressions, and 4 cent cotton has brought the south to her senses on the Cleveland question. It was a sorry day for tne south when she gave up her democratic conscience into the keeping of Grover Cleveland. She cannot afford to again battle for a man who has pursued a policy which arrested ar-rested her prosperity just as she had filled the measure of her penance for the great xniettke of '61-'65 and had begun to feel solid earth again under her tired feet. Tnis Bame song is being sung by the ragged chil iren of the silver producing mountain states. We can afford no more such platforms as those fashioned at Chicago and Minneapolis in 1S92. Another such mistake and this country coun-try would not be worth living in. We need aad must have more money. We have not half enough and instead of still further lessening the supply we must increase it by one hundred per cent, or more. Men are growing old in poverty and wretchedness wretched-ness who would cow be rich, or at least comfortable, if the Rockefellers, the Goulds and the Vanderbilts had not gathered all the substance of the cation ca-tion into their own coffers by reason of the increased value of gold and the leB8tned jaluetAte'rIaif ''Is the cy or else by the force of revolution-bloody revolution-bloody and terrible as that will be if ever it breaks out on any such issue. In this coming battle for the living chance the great weBt and the sunshiny sun-shiny south will stand shoulder to ehoulder in the conventions, at the polls, or in the trenches. Which will the country have it? Is it to be the battles and the bloodless triumphs of peace, or is it to be those of blood, of war anil all of its alteudant horrore and suffering? Has not the west made sacrifice enough? Is more demanded of Ler? If so she will pay no more. She can pay no more. Through poverty, pov-erty, distress and suffering she has stood loyally by the government uncomplainingly, un-complainingly, bie will do no more. She has bared her good right arm and she will strike and spare not until her rights in eilver are reetored. She is formidable in and of nerself, but with the brave, true south by her side, she iB invincible. The voice of wiBdom will ntter the words, the east must not Lava it all any longer. The advantages of i he government must be more evenly distributed. The restoration of silver is all that is necessary, ergo, it must be restored. |
