Why should any of Bryan's followers risk any capital ou a graia deal? Why I stake their money on January pork, I March lard or May wheat? ïhere is I tle sense in embarking in any of these I fashioned speeulations, which. frequently I fail to pan out, sometimes bankrupt the operator, and, at best, yield a meager profit. Why should auy Popocrat risk a dollar in any of those extra hazardous and poorly paying ventures if he is sure and certain that, in a few brief months, Bryan and free coinage at 16 to 1 will be hore, and that the bit of silver that is now worth. 53 cents will then be worth $1, thus making in a short time a profit of about 90 per cent. for the lucky owner of silver bullion? Sell your farms, your store3, your shops and tools, your horsea, cattle, aheep and hogs; sell anything that will bring in money and invest the proceeds in silver bullion at say 66 cents per ounce. Get this silver now. Secure it before the rush begins. If you wait until everybody is buying silver, you naay have to pay a higher price. Send an order aecompanied by a proper deposit to the Selby smelter, or to Sutro & Co. of San Francisco, and they will take pleasure in filling vour order, even though It be for millións. The scramble for silver should begin at once. Unjess Stewart, Teller, Altgeld, Fair, Hearst and other indigent Popocrats who have feit the crown of thoras pressing their jperspiring brows and who have been hterally crucified upon a cross of gold do not soon bfgin the purchase and holding of silver bullion, so as to be ready when the Popocratic millenium comes to reap their share of the pronta; unless this movement, tliis mad rush for silver bullion begins soon, some irreverent Republican or some wicked follower of the goldbug iEdianapolis ticket Is Habla to say: "My Popoeratic friends, your failure to buy silver proves either: "First - That you have serious doubts of Bryan's election; or, "Seeoad - That you fear he may, if elected, prove recreant to his trust, and not give you free silver at all; or, "Third - That you are burdened with fear that, if free coinage is secured, the big dollar may after all be worth but 50 cents in geod money; or, "Fourth - That you all have misgivinga that these 50-cent dollars may drag our greenbacks, national bank notes, silver and coin certificates down to the same low level." In other words, unless you buy silver, and buy it at once, it is a tacit acknowledgaieiit on your part that you really believe the Republican position to be tlia correct one. If you really feel certain (as you profess to do) that we are to have Bryan and free coiaajte at 16 to 1; that silver dollars thus eolned will ba equal in value to the gold dollar; and that all the three or four billion". of silver in th world will be almust doubled in value; If you really gelieve these things you and your par.y would be soouring the world to buy silver. The Mexican, Chilian, Japane.se and Cbinese silver coins. coming ■ as they do from eountries that alreády have free coinage, would no longer go beffging for a buyer at 53 cents on thfe dollar as thoy novr du. Your capitalists would try to corner all the silver oaAprth, and next ear they would mtli _RothgUgJ TincRlieLmingUnangrarnnW with envy by parading their three thoiki sand million dollars' proüt made by haiM ing faith in your preaching. Go into the market and prov youM sincerity by your works! In othM words, "Put ag r kut upl"- ToleiM Blade. ■ 6IX, 1
