Altogether.

parties are thicker than peas in a pod. Anybody who gold dollar mark left ajrm goes no figure. Two? is no xofeiiifa lin the Repubttoan papers | wear a gold collar about a nfan being an “ex-rqtel^j,^ ; “moss- ; backed copperhead, ” or an ‘ ‘Erig:lish serving free trader,” if he only believes firmly in the gos- • pel of the gold dollar robbery. He is of the elect if he is opjy dishonest enough to advopate a 200-cent gold dollar. The democracy of Chicago have no daily j paper now. The gold dollar portion of the party does not need one. The Republican papers are doing its work quite as well as any party organ could do. A fellow-feeling makes these people, who were lately estranged by political differences, wonderous kind to each other. It is another illustration of the truth that birds of a feather will flock together. Tne tie that binds them to each other is strong. It is the tie of greed and selfishness. Gold dollar Democrats are vowing than if the party endorses free silver they will go with the Republcans. Free silver Republicans declare that if their party bows to the golden calf they will forsake it, and thus the financial question is becoming the dividing line, and it is well enough that it is. The battle might as well be fought to the finish now as at any time; indeed better now than later, for the question must be settled and settled in the interests of the people, or we shall plung into bankruptcy as individuals aud as a government. And the people should be fully awake to their own interests in the premises; No partisan prejudice and no sentiment should prevent the people from taking : the side of silver. There is one : great danger ahead and that is that the friends of silver tvill split up into two many parties ! and the minority gold advocates i will be able to ride into power over a majority. A free silver ! party is contemplated; the Populists are for free silver, and it looks very much as if the Democratic party, or a portion of it would be. If the free silver forces go into the conflict with any divisions as this, they will be beaten from the start.—The Farmers Voice.
