GOLD STANDARD.
dard democrat in
Nebraska who wishes gold standard fire
insurance to prevail and liquidate losses
in Nebraska , instead of a sixteen-to-one-
assessment fire insurance should vote
against House Rent Holcomb.
Every gold standard man who wishes
the administration of justice in accord
ance with the golden rule should vote
for Manoah B. Reese for the supreme
court.
Every gold standard democrat should'
vote against fusionista and fusion in
Nebraska. Any gold democrat who
may incline to vote the bologna-sausage
ticket , made up out of three different
meats , can before refusing , fusing or
being refused , read the masterful speech
of Colonel Bryan , made at Richmond ,
Virginia , in 1800 , in which the octopus
orator says :
"Lwant to warn you who are con
templating deserting from the demo
cratic party at this time , that the man
who , in the face of such an enemy ,
either gops to the rear or is found in
secret conference with the enemy , is a
traitor upon wliom the brand fhall be
placed and HE SHALL NOT COME BACK. "
Colonel Bryan has forbidden the gold
standard democrats of Nebraska voting
for Holcomb or any other free silver
howler. Do not disobey the mandates
of Boss Bryan.

TO FARMERS.
TIVE calls the at
tention of farmers to the fact that , with
their corn , wheat , oats , rye and barley ,
their hogs , horses and cattle , farmers
are constantly buying money. The
persons who buy the farm products are
selling money. These money sellers
demand cereals , meats and all other
farm products , of such a high grade of
excellence that they will compel demand
for themselves in all the markets of the
world. These money sellers never ex
change for products that are of a doubt
ful quality. "Why then should the
farmer exchange for money of doubtful
quality ? If the things he sells must be
good enough for all the world why
(

should ho not demand in exchange for
thorn money good enough for all the
world ? Why ask for silver , which
fluctuates in purchasing power with the
ups and downs of silver bullion , when ,
by asking , ho cnn get gold , the bullion
value and mint value of which remains
the same ? Buying money with the
fruits of his field the farmer should de
mand the best money in the world , or its
interchangeable equivalent , gold. He
should have a metallic money which ,
when it has been melted into bullion is
worth as much as it was worth in coin.
Silver in coin is § 1.29 an ounce ; in bul
lion 57 cents an ounce. Gold is worth
as much in nuggets as in coins.

"Under bimetallism silver bullion
will bo worth as much as silver coin ,

a silver dollar will be worth as much as
