Your paper is received in ourcounty
and read by all. The voters are look
ing at the past promises of the two
old parties which have not been
kept, and wonder at the cheek of
the old gangs in wanting another
''chance." Some Democrats say
they are for free silver within party
lines. Do they think the voters are
foolsf Have not the Democrats re
cently finished a long session of
Congress with a Democratic Presi
dent and cabinet? They killed sil
ver. They involved this nation in a
debt which our grand children will
not live to see paid. They brought
upon us a panic, the effects of which
was worse than the civil war. Peo
ple have gone almost naked and
nearly starved. Our property has
been depreciated in value and is be
ing sold for taxes. Good farming
land is going at one dollar per acre.
We cannot pay our debts, and all
this was caused by Democrats when
they were in control of the affairs of
the country. Can we live long and
be a free people under such an admin
istration as this! Will we continue
to stand it! No! There will be re
pudiation or revolution if an attempt
is made to continue this state of af
fairs. People will not bemade slaves
We are too proud for that proud or
country, our homes, wives and chil
dren. I will just say that old Rutherford
county is for free coinr.ge of silver
at the ratie of 16 to 1. We are going
to "get there Eli" and not within
old party lines either. The old party
is dead! dead!! dead!!!
