Show DONT RUN WILD I 1 advocates of free silver as they are called that Is the people who want silver restored to its As proper position as money instead of a mere article of merchandise no doubt feet feel great impatience when they nee eee the sophistry which their opponents re sort to in endeavoring to maintain the single standard of gold and they naturally distrust al the make shift expedients that are fe resorted sorted to by prominent prominent romi nent men in both parties to postpone definite action in regard to this important matter but we think they are some of them making a great mistake in starting a movement to compel immediate recognition of their claims and force the party to which they belong to make this the mo issue of the coming presidential contest if they succeed in starting a silver party drawing away support from both of the present great national part patties lee what will they their numbers and influence fluence iB will simply be so eo much taken away from places where they are needed and fluff flung to the winds without any good reau result t if they do not fuse into another party they will merely raise dissen sion bion and weakness in the parties with which they train pledging delegates to support no candidate who will not take their view on a question which to is still open to so much debate is in our opinion petulance and childs play it is not the product of wisdom and to is certainly not good politics the world or even this country is not yet educated to the full comprehension of the silver question its advocates must exercise a little more patience they must still try to convince th the public of the truth and virtue of their claims and arguments they cannot force this issue light should be their memis means to the end they seeka abek they need not become supine or discouraged they can still battle for their cause but in doing so they will not help it by weakening the parties to which they belong or by attempting something which they cannot accomplish and in which they will surely fail all it to is all right for the silver men to press their cause upon the attention of the country in the national conventions and to do their utmost to obtain recognition ot of the claims of the precious white metal but it is folly to refuse to support a national candidate because he be is not ready to fly in the face of a very strong public sentiment founded though it may be in error or in greed aud and thus to endanger the success of their own party and other interests inte which are of as much importance as the one issue on which their souls are set no matter how just their cause may be the silver men ought not to run wild |
