People's Pilot, Volume 6, Number 13, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 17 September 1896 — Cail For Free Silver County Convention. [ARTICLE]

Cail For Free Silver County Convention.

We the undersigned voters of Jasper county, Indiana, believing that prosperity can only be restored to our country through the restoration of silver to its coinage rights equally with gold, the same as existed from 1792 down to 1873, and feeling that the time has arrived for the putting aside of party considerations and uniting in a common cause for the good of all the producing people, and relying upon the patriotism, honor and intelligence of our fellow citizens to accept the guage of battle thrown down to us by the consolidated money power of the world,- the class that lives largely beyond the sea and dictates to us a foreign financial system, for their enrichment and our impoverishment; and further believing that a distinctively non-partisan free silver county ticket would the better unite and harmonize all the elements of our people who oppose the single gold standard and make victory for the white metal and prosperity certain in this county; We do hereby call a mass convention of all who believe with us on the silver question, regardless of party affiliations, to meet

in the oprea house atßensselaer Thursday, Sept. 24, 1896, at eleven o’clock a. m., to nominate candidates for county offices to be voted for at the election this fall.
