Show THE ONLY WAY NOW OPEN the loyalty of tho people of the west to the union and to silver docs not admit of any question that they are proud and independent to a remarkable degree nil will admit but they do not contemplate a revolt against the lawfully constituted authorities as a means of accomplishing re t forma in government or the real or fancied wrongs it is the privilege and as we believe the duty of the people who look upon the and degradation of silver as a crime against civilization and humanity to meet together and give expression to their feelings of indignation and formulate measures for rectifying whatever may be found to bo wrong revolution is the last resort of a long suffer ing people after the have exhausted every possible means to secure right and justice proper solution of the ell vcr question as we sincerely believe depends the prosperity of our nation and the happiness of the people and we are of the firm opinion that the financial policy to we owe much of the trouble which the indus rial and commercial world ie passing through will leave to be reversed before that trouble will disappear but this can and will be brought about by lawful and legitimate means among republicans and democrats in tho west there ia difference of opinion worth mentioning as to the method to be employed to restore silver to ita rightful as money and a measure of values republicans and democrats believe that this desirable re alt can and will bo effected through the agency of the two national political parties neither political party ia sufficiently strong in congress to carry through a bill because in each party there is a division of opinion upon the subject of free coina a there are some republicans and bome democrats who aro under the spell of the gold power and looking to the president tor favors and these of course cannot bo relied upon to work and vote for the good of their country and the interests of the people if sil is to be rehabilitated and restored to its old and time honored position within a year and a half it will have to bo by the joint action of alio two great political parties of this nation to them the appeals must bo made not to party which haa no power to accomplish com anything however well intended it may be the two old parties as the republican and democratic parties are styled must be given another chance to win favor with the common people to whom they aro under obligations which they cannot repay except by carrying out their will they must have another opportunity to chow whether they are orare not wedded to the money power the repeal of tho sherman law unconditionally would be positive proof that the two old parties were of confidence it would be alio signal for a popular uprising of the honest and patriotic masses to save the nation from industrial and commercial and financial ruin and to give back to alie people the freedom of which they have been deprived by the power of money bestowed upon unworthy public servants at the behest of and domestic plutocracy hence we consider all talk of the formation of a new political narty at this time as out of place and not calculated to that harmony and eingle nesa of purpose es to the success of alie scheme upon which wo are all practically united attorney rhodes struck the key note of the campaign in favor ofa ilver during his at the meeting in lester park pavilion last tuesday evening it was neither more nor less than the plan we have outlined above mr rhodee simply stated a self evident truth when he baid that in order to save our financial life we must appeal to the existing parties now in power that even it it were possible to form a new party with but one idea the plutocratic robber would have accomplished their ends before the machinery of an effective opposition could be got into working order thia wag the idea expressed by THE on the day of the silver convention when we said the time for tho organization of purely silver party hag not yet come and will not come in our opinion until boll of the old parties have given positive proof that under no circumstances can they be depended upon to right tho great wrong of 1873 and place tho country in ft position of financial independence the aej bosq with which mr rhodes remarks were greeted end the action of the meeting gave proof that the people of ogden city and weber county who were present at the meet ini fully sympathized with the plan advanced by TUB and aba speaker who indorsed that plan ir ia refreshing to find among the multitude muli tude of eastern papers oppose broo coinage while beina op k 1 faas 7 posed to las the manliness to express lie views in a decent and not offensive manner such a one ia the republican new york press which says although opposed to the free coinage of silver the press believe that it is due to that largo section of the united states whoso people feel that their prosperity on alie ono band and on the other may be involved tn this issue that the question should bo treated upon full information as to alie truth without any obsequious sub to he financial policy of great britain or any other foreign country IN THE last house of representatives the democrats who were in a majority of three to one refused to allow alie slier man act to be repealed the present house consists of a majority of democrats who were elected as free coinage men and they together with free coinage republicans from the western states will have it in their power to prevent the unconditional repeal of the law at the special session of congress failure to do this will be proof positive that they have sold themselves to wall street grover cleveland having acted as tho purchasing agent we shall not bo surprised if many democratic members of tho lower house of congress fall down before the golden calf when tho crucial test comes free coinage republican will fail to do his duty |
