Why should anybody who desires the welfare of the country vote the Democratic ticket? Democratic rule would bring us another low tariff and even the anticipation of it would, ns it did in 1892 after the election, and still more after Mr. Cleveland’s inaugural address, promising, or rather threatening, to give the country such a low tariff, close our factories. Democratic rule would mean free coinage of silver at* 16 to 1 and greenbacks galore to be redeemed with other greenbacks, and that would have the immediate effect of setting .to work that terrible endless chain, because a Democratic administration would in all probability refuse to redeem the government notes in gold. Then all government bonds would

immediately tugible in prices to 45 cents on the dollar. The panic that would issue would let the four lean years of Cleveland appear as-a mild type of prosperity. Of course, if anybody does want to put the country in such a condition he must by all means vote the Democratic or the Populist ticket, which would be one, as the former have completely surrendered their so-called principles to the articles of faith to the latter.
