A CLEAR SILVER BELL ELOQUENT ADDRESS BY A PEO PLE’S PARTY CANDIDATE. Effect* of Silver's Betrayal —lndia's im ports Increased at Our Expense—Great Britain Juggles Silver and Controls the I*rlc© of Wheat. Hon. John C. Bell, People’s party can didate for congress from the Second congressional district of Colorado, ad dressed a large and enthusiastic audi ence at Montrose. Colo., on the aims and demands of the party. His treatment of the ailver question was masterly and clear, and the portion given in the fol lowing extract is commended to the careful consideration of those looking for light upon this important subject: To get out of parallel with an old political party which has given consolation and ploaa ant associations in the past produces sadness and regret that such a step should be necessa ry. If the interests of country, home, family and duty require It the step should be taken, however painful the duty may be. Every politi cal party has Its name and platform. Everypl&t form has its central figure and its trimmings. WlJlo the name of an old party becomes very dear to the devotee, the principles of the party should be upi>crninst in his appreciation. If the party name and the most sacred and bene ficial principles separate, the devotee must tako liis choice ami follow the name or the principles, lie can’t follow both. The name can but flatter his pride, the principles may feed uud clothe his family. In my humble opinion the people of Colorado must make this important choice. One of the cardinal principles of the Repub licanism of Lincoln aud Grant and of the Democracy of Jackson and Jefferson was the free hnd unlimited coinage of silver, Such gal lant- spirits aud strong individualities make the gi -at principles of great parties. This fixed principle of these great parties were emi nently satisfactory to the masses of the people, and while silver was above par, without warn ing or notice to the people or the knowledge of the reputable members of congress, by in trigue it was clandestinely expunged from the statute books through the purpjuise of and in the interest of the bondholder and nwpers of ready money. Turpitude and fraud are ad mitted by all, and be it said with shame and to tho discredit of the American congress, that It refuses to reinstate it. Every party has its lender and he is entitled to sound flip keynote of tho campaign and fix the order of busfua 8 *: The Democrats tell us that a reduction of the ffl-l'iff will briug the panacea for all of our evils, and fq secure this is its first and supreme duty. Tho Republican leaders inform us that we are already prosper ous and that a fair and honest trial of the utpSttpp tariff with reciprocity will maintain iis all in poaJt! and plenty. General Weaver, lute lender, chief architect and builder of llie People’s platform, very graphically tells us that the first enemies lh pjuopfo's party proposes to rout are the enemies Qt tRe free auj unlimited coinage of silver. The People’s party hftfft a platform unquali fiedly demanding this. General Weaver, its head, is now and ever has been n consistent .and earnest advocate of the free use of silver f kooiy this assertion will surprise many of our friend* party paps'- be- over depleted trim as a bundle or jp.-/isttcncies and a flat gild soft money fanatic. Tin, n!tform up"ii |,c ran In 1880 is the legitfmafe fuguy .if the one fipoo v bW he now stands; and never did father and son look more alike; The finan cial plank In what is called tbcGl oouhlW-lt apd I-abor platform of 1880 reads: “All money, whether metallic or paper, should bo issued and the volume controlled by tfo;- government and not by or through bank ing ciiriioiidhr'W- ftn'l when so issued should be a full legal tender Ml idf ylshtS. public ami pri vate; that the bonds of (lid 'Cpllcj pngsg should not be refunded, but paid as rapidly practicable according to contract. To enable plip government to meet these obligations le gal tender .e/irrptlcy should he substituted for the notes of the oM,SS! banks, the national banking system abolished one pfik jmllmiled coinage of silver as well as gold estaoifsb'ed Mf juH',” Do these look like or sound like the ut terances Of a soft or fiat money crank? Aro these uut Urn cardlual principles that all of the milling, wheat urn wing, cotton growing, producing aud industrial otasoj c advocate at all seasons of tho year, except whcij Rip iff triguesofthe place hunters in Ihe heat of ft political campaign causes their prejudices and partisanship to outrun their Judgment? (Jon ojstopt with this the Populists at all times in congress bftfff voted unanimously for the freo find unlimited <#liwp of silver. JL’pou’ the other hand, tin? ponventlons of both the old parties refused fnadopt a fom sll platform, and each headed its ticket wity a rcpivwv.'.datliA personally opposes) to freo coinage, The papers and speftkTS ot the P“t Insist that In the next ougi css tile fift l.d people must t!l V) tho offensive and stop the f urtfon cojuage of silver. Heualor JsJierman has introduced hill for .’* complete destruction. The presenj administration ka dona every thing in its power to make the present laws ndfoat, In tho purchase <?< silver treasury poles aft issued redeemable in cMin. Tim treasury da partment has a right to pay this in stiver, A friend of silver umi of tlie people would so pay it. A few days ago Heidolbeck lekelhelm tendered to this department SI.(WO,0 f lo In these notes and demanded gold J.Q ship to Germany. The treasury department wiei-otlt hesitation paid it out In gold, aud the press dispatches immediately flashed tlie news all over iky laud, showing that our silver system would soon drain the country of gold. Docs any one doubt hut what this was purposely done to fur ther intimidate the public and completely destroy Silver in the interest (4 I hi- (jold monopoly? My fricnds.dld yoiy ever think f the importance of (he success of free coins*. ! The national debt was created, ynucb of the state and municipal indebtedness was .created when horses, cattle, wheat, corn aud silv r w ero worth at least r.ne-thii j jnore than H y are today.

All debts are payable in the products of the country, and as the products arc diuiiuidiod in value so is the ability to pay nimlniahed. This is not all.

The prices on our products are fixed by what tho surplus will bring i a the foreign market. Therefore Kiigland fixes the prices on our surplus lor what it eo>ts her lo lay down hke products from ludia. In fixing this s-he takes from the price of American products what can make on her silver purchases. In other words, if it costs her $1.50 per.tmshcl to lay dowu wheat from India, we will have to lay ours down for one dollar per bushel, as she makes over fifty cents on Ihe silver specula tion*. These things have bankrupted the American producer aud debtor and enriched England, India aud the creditor classes. Speak the Truth. Every Republican paper in Colorado is sup porting the nations' Republican ticket and platform ably am! heartily. Hurrah for the honest and Intelligent Republican press.—Den ver Republican. The man who wrote this paragraph knew that his words nro without the slightest foundation in fact; tlie editor who passed upon it knew that it was an unblushing lie. aud the liepublkntns of Colorado will stump it as such upon their first public opportunity. Tho Republican press of Colorado is too loyal to the best interests of the state to support any man /or the presidency who has proven by four years of service in the presidential chair that he is op posed to tlie free coinage of silver. If the Republicans of Colorado who aru neitlier officeholders nor oilice seek ers do uot register their votes fairly and squarely for free silver this year they wilt uemonstrute to the rest of tlie coun try that they are neither ineu of sound business senso nor good American citi zens. Colorado cannot afford to indorse a man who persistently ignored the silver plunk in the platform upon which he was elected throughout his term of of fice, iu the hope of gaining re-election through tlie strong monetary support of eastern money lenders and tho other foreign sympathizers of tho east who are interested in tlie largo foreign trade ef the United States. The Denver Republican understands this to he the situation us thoroughly as any one in Colorado. It should also un derstand that tlie state Republican press is neither weak nor venal.

Nugent, tlie i 4*a par*/ for governor of Tejtaa, oj>ene<l the vaniiiaign at Austin in an address which was pronounced by the friendly and independent jh-gss as “a most clear and concise presentation of political issues.’ He dealt in masterly aud con vincing manner with the thiancial, transportation and laud questions, and also showed himself to be a close ob server of social and economic conditions, as the following extracts from' his ad dress testify: Tlie south can always bo trusted for her votes by Wall street Democracy, but uever for the iiAtiuual ticket. Contrihutini? the funds. Wall btret has always claimed the to dictate the candidates aud Ihe fliiACieial IKillcy *>f the country, and thus, from Seymour to Cleveland, so called sound finances and the business Interests of the country have, in the selection of candidate**, been matters of chief concern to the party leaders. Wall must ut any cost be appeased. The big hankers and money lenders, the stock jobbers, ibe men who hull and bear V* market, must be kept In good humor, tt.ifttt indeed be satisfied that their special privileges aro not to be taken from them; otherwise campaign funds must dwiudlc and party success ho jeopardised. Tims both parties have tacitly agreed to Ig nore tlie silver issue and leave the siuglo gold stundhrd intact. What does Wall street care for the tariff (juestion so long as she controls the finances? With even free tiudo control *f the money of the country would give her con trol *)f wages, *f usury, of the property and labor of tho country. What more could she have under protection? But parties must hnvo Issues, and the tariff and bloody shirt issues are of aN issues toast hurtful to Wall street. Hence It is that the oh) quarrel over the tariff and tlm forcu bill Is to be renewed while the money kings rub their bauds gleefully and watch with delight the “sham battle* 4 whose “elamor” drowns tho cry of distroas that conus from the farm, the workshop and the factory Labor is in chains while the politicians arc skurrying over the country repeating political platitudes, holding up tariff schedules In one hand umi tho “bloody shirt" in the other, mainly endeavoring to head off tho moving column of reform us it advances to victory.

Then if the capitalistfi attempted to re sist the laws the capitalists would lethe anarchists.” “Every man,” says the adage, “can manage a bad wife save him that has her.” The American workingmen have the ballot—nominally, yes; but actually, no.

The opponents of the farmers have tried to bulldoze and scare them, but have failed.
