We of the West feel the swell of the incoming tide. Soon with majestic sweep it will roll in with everincreasing power and might. and wherever in its steady. onward. and growing volume it shall force its way American industry. based upon the quicksand of gold monometallism. will forever sink beneath its flood. Onward through the grand canyons of our incomparable West. over the great highways of commerce designed and constructed by men who put not their trust in English greed nor in English finance for the American nation. across the plains which nurtured. educated. and made great a Grant and a Lincoln. that mightytide of foreign industry. fostered. upheld. and become great by adherence to sound monetary laws. will force its way until the nation shall arouse itself and. employing every defense given it. stay and turn back the swelling wave of Asiatic industrial invasion by the coinage and use of silver money.
