Show THE CAUSE OF SILVER the san francesoo franc isoo chronicle Is a lead paper but it ie one of those papers that wishes it understood in the east that it runs the machine in tb west and that it has got something nom ething to deliver THE STANDARD proposes to be an independent paper it claims no pall on the party nothing to deliver it seeks to spread the truth and vindicate a right cause as it apprehends it chono remarks are called forth by editorial comments of the chronicle on sentiments expressed by president andrew a o should not be surprised to the lean party champion of in the pat year and the attitude of of it leading party papers and the utterance of many of it leaders show conclusively that the party is moving toward the issue there it tery little hope for the Jle publican party except through the bimetallism issue can never reach hie on any other principle and U cannot hold the great west if it does not tale an unqualified stand for the proper of both metals in the language andrews especially ally that in italics we believe to be arne the party may be diee enough to perceive that it cannot succeed without tho of the silver cause but the only reason why its gold ite leaders will come to such a conclusion is that the west is intelligent enough to understand its rights and firm enough to maintain them they may perceive that the west can be hoodwinked and deluded no longer eliut the extreme compliments ol 01 lie dealt out to persons and papers that have spoken favorably or thrown 4 little sop to bimetallism and its statement of the historic at of the republican and democratic parties towards silver show that the paper Is endea to make a partisan impression at the expense of truth tho republican party baa often been wrong on the subject of bimetallism bat it has never been tricky or evasive nor has it ever violated any pledges or promise which it has made the Democratic party on the other band secured the confidence of the people of the united states under false pretenses and on a distinct pledge to make free coinage the law of the fund and then refused hatty and directly to redeem its which do the people prefer a party which breaks its most solemn word and promises and does nothing for the cause of or party which with many falls and stumbles has been struggling toward the light bat which in spite of all its mistakes and faults has never been accused of going behind its word or of a or promise made to the people ot the united states the truth is that both platforms embody much sophistry and ambiguity as it is kolble pol ble to put into the friends of silver in boa conventions ons claimed at the time and ever since the democrats made no more promises or pledges than the the goldate leaders in both parties had the game in their own hands cleveland bad openly declared himself against and the people did not expect much from him but the point we aim at here chiefly is that the people of the west must be on their guard against being sold out by papers and parsonages who seek to rive out the impression tant they carry the west in their pocket there is nothing to be pained to the cause of sound money by lying about what either party has done or failed to do the only way to gain anything from either party is to deal with facts truthfully and firmly give all to understand that it is impossible to play the old worn out racket again that of raising a dust and a partisan feeling by means of lies and prejudices than bagging the whole business under the name of republicanism and democracy this has always been done heretofore and it will be sought to be done we shall endeavor to bold up a to men who are disposed to know and do the right the cause of bimetallism ii rooted into the economic life of the world by centuries ot spontaneous use the break in this economic trend was through a malign and conspiracy the evil results are continuous and worldwide world wide the reaction is as deep and as life itself it wont do to base the remedy on political trickery and partisan chIcanery Kally rather to the broken lines of sound legislation and a true dispensation of constitutional tut ional rights if either party dares to deny or dodge punish then as unworthy of support let be too intelli be again branded by some belf sufficient and aspiring leader who will raise a hurrah for a shibboleth aad midst the noise of applause lend them into the cnare laid for the unwary with this view the west can have power otherwise it will serve only to enhance the dowry of some place hunter who will have the ability under a blind partisanship to carry it in his pocket |
