tTOTJK FOR BfiYAK
Saya Martin Clirintonsea and Gives
Advice to Voters
Valentine Oct 27
To the Voters of Cherry County
In a few days the baljots will decide
whether Bryan or McKinJey is elected
For the first time in many j ears can it
be said that party Hues have been bio
ken largely and the people have taken
up the issues before them as never
before The success of either of these
candidates cannot rightfully be claimed
by the democrat or republican party
but must be taken as a decision of the
people on the financial question If
the decision should be in favor of the
free coinage of silver which I hope
and sincerely believe it will the people
will be rewarded for their patriotism
and the United States will forever de
clare her financial independence of
Europe
If McKiniey should be elected we
cannot expect any change in xur fin
ances and it ought to be clear to
over on I one that uuless there is money in cir-
culation among the people a high pro
tective tariff cannot possibly help us
No mills will ever open until the peo
ple can buy what these mills have m
their storehouses in the wholesale
houses and in the retail stores No
money will find its way to the farmer
only through the products he has to
sell A high protective trriff will not
raise the price of what he has to sell
it is only the price of what he bujs
that is raised by the tariff
Have you studied the question vo
ters If you dont know whether free
silver is right or not find out who- are
alvocatmg it If you have read any
of the literature sent you you must
have seen that all the labor organiza
tions and farmers associations are
advocating It You must have seen
that all monopolies trusts corpora
tions and money lenders are opposed
to it Have you noticed that the re
publican leaders who were outspoken
for free silver before the St Louis con-
ventijonon demand of the psr ty
chine fiaWlGrhedfad riov LaTEBtotigi
knowing they are wrong are advocat
ing the election of McKiniey and are
forcing you like they have been forced
Do you know that all the corporations
are coercing their employes to vote for
McKiniey under threat of discharging
them if Bryan is elected Is your in
terest and the interest of these trusts
and corporations identical No farm
ers and lboriug meu of Cherry county
their interests are not ours They are
interested in a dishonest dollar which
will increase in value that they may
get more in return than they have but
you and I are interested in the holiest
dollar which will neither increase nor
decrease in value
They point to Mexico as a sample of
a free silver couitry but have they
ever pointed to gold standard Europe
to show you a prosperous country
No Because every foreigner who em
igrates to this country is evidence in
himself of the operation of a gold
standard My friends look where you
may and you will find the gold stand
ard a factor in maintaining monarchies
and a yoke on the common people I
speak from what I know as I have
seen it and I sincerely believe that if
v- uiuvinftu jju7t unto luvacu up
tne eviaence mere is no question or
their verdict at the polls next Tuesday
and this un -American policy will be
forever defeated
In casting our ballots this year we
should lay aside all party feehug and
vote as our conscience dictates Even
our personal friends should be defeated
if on a gold standard ticket and the
only questions asked should be Is
this candidate for office for or against
the common people in this campaign
Is he in favor of a military monarchy
or a free country

An Explanation
Queer isnt it that Dr S G Glover
is a candidate for state superintendent
on the gold standard ticket yet unlike
his brother CR is for Bryan first last
and all the time
We published the above last week
not with the intention of intimating
that Dr Glover rally is for Bryan
but the exact opposite but as it seems
that some people do not understand
the quotation marks in the paragraph
vi will now state that under no cir
cumstances is Dr Glover a Bryan man
lie is one of the original Palmer and
BucKner men of the state and presum
ably would rather lose his vote than
give it to Bryan

To Cherry County Voiers
EilTrm VmQQXdT Dear Sin I
noticed In last weeks It publican that
C II Cornell had challenged rae to a
debate onthe beet sugar question and
that I had refused giving as my rea
son for so doing that I had saeu too
much at the Norfolk factory thus in
sinuating that I am in favor of a
bounty on sugar beets and I want to
tell the people through the columns of
your paper some of the things I sav
Tina heard while at the factory
A farmer unloading beets at the fac
tory was asked how many tons his
beets made to the acre and his rej ly
was 14 tons He was then asked
the price received per ton and he an
swered 5 00 per ton What did
it cost to raise an acre of those beets
was the next question and he replied
8 00 per acre Now this farmer by
his own statement cleared 6450 per
acre on his beet crop
Can the moscwily smooth tongued
republican high protective beet sugar
bountyist make the farmers of Cherry
county believe that they should vote
for a law or for a party that advocates
the enactment of a law which will
compel them to take from the small
amount realized from their crops to
give to those who already have more
than enough
Thip beet sugar junketing tour was
simply a scheme to get the farmers to
vote the republican ticket on the prom
ise of a beet sugar factory something
of the same thing as they offered the
southern negro when they offered each
man 40 acres of land and a mule
They are looking for those 40 acres yet
and you will look for your sugar fac
tory fully as long Sugar bounty is
simply an aggravated specimen of the
doctrine of high protection to take
from him that has not and give to him
that already hath
If the republican party would ex
pend the amount of energy to down
of the sugar trust which compels the Nor
folk lactory to sell it all the sugar
made there that they do to create a
bounty the people might have some
confidence in ttie party Can they fool
you farmers 1 know they cannot
You will go to the polls and vote for
your own interest regardless of what
the other fellow tells you Bryan and
free silver and the whole silver ticket
is otr only prent hone
