CoIoquy Between two Republic
cans in Greene Township.
Mr.. JoNEs-Good morning, Mr.. Brown
MR. BROwN-Good morning, sir.
JoNEs-Haye you sold your wool yet,
Mr. Brown? ID
| BROwN-Yes, sir, i sold 1t to Mr. w.
JoNES-For what price.
BRowN- Fifty-seven cents per pound
/ JoNEs-That's low, really low.
BRowN-I know that, but it seems 10 be
the design of the bond holder, the banker
and the mi nufacturer, to rob the masses Of
the people, and our Congress and politicians
act as If they had been bribed to aid them
in their attempts land if there is not a
change soon they will succeed.
! JONFs-I admit, Mr.. Brown, it does look
! too much that way.
BRowN-LOoks so-why it's too appar-
ent. look at our financial condition and
then think that our party has nominated
! Rudy Hayes for Governor, with his record
in Congress against a protective tariff on
WOOL thinking you and would continue to
he such dupes as TO pay duty Of about l25
per cent. on everything we buy, for the
| benefit of the manufacturer and for interest
! to the bond holder, and sell wool for 80 cts
| per pound and vote for Hayes for Governor
with salary of "a, 900 per year. with his
ugly record on the tariff on wool. | tell
you, Mr.. Jones, shall vote the other tick
ct this fall if | live.
JoNEs-I think We ought to have a
change myself
BROwN-Only think, If Hayes could be
elected his salary would buy about $50
pounds of wool at Al cents per pound. and
! think his services, with bis small amount
Of brains. would not be worth that much
money or wool to the laboring men of Ohio. |
JoNES-That's so: he might work good
pile of our money into the hands of our
moneycd aristocracy, but that would be no
benefit to the masses Of the people. YOU
know we made big war to break down the
slave aristocracy of the South, and | don't
want to give my vote Or money to help to
build up moneyed aristocracy here in the
North, which would be far worse than sla-
very, because money has the most power to
bribe legislative bodies to legislate for their
interest. And as to the $50 pounds Of
wool, think It is too big a pile to give for |
the use Ruddy Hayes little bit of wit for
one year. Why Hayes has no more ability,
even as statesman, than Green, and he |
has a farm worth $4,000 well stocked with
sheep, hires a great amount of help, and |
works hard himself and don't begin to
shear 8, SO pounds of wool year nor re.
ctive "a. 900 year for all his farm pro
duce1, and has to pay out good deal of
money for labor, improvements, repairs |
and taxes, aud mas no money left when the |
year comes round,
BROWN--1hat S true; salaries and taxes
are too high and officers are too numerous,
and the price of wool to low; and | have
been looking at these things some since
Root came and bought his old farm back
and had so many thousand dollars Of Gov |
ernment bonds and National Bank currency
left and I'm just waiting for the election
to come around so | can vote for change
Niger or no niger, charity must stay at
home awhile now, or we must all go up
sure
JoNEs-What about Root buying his old
farm back.
BRowN-T'l tell you. About four years
AGO Hill bought Roots farm STOCK tools,
&c, for $4,000 in gold. Hill run the
farm about four years and done the best he
could, but hired help, repairs, failure of
some OF his crops, and taxes just took all
he made by working hard all the time
Now Mr.. Root comes round few days ago
and buys his oil farm, the stock, tools, &c,
I'll hack i'lr s. 600 in greenbacks Now
Hill has 81 400 more money than he had
four years ago, but it is not the same kind,
nor it won't buy as much for him now as
the other kind Of money would before we
made the war to put down one kind of aris-
tQtrdcv and put up worse one True il
wQul ~, more wool now than gold would
then, for chen We got SC eouts in gold, or
its equivalent, for wool; but Ills money will
not buy as much good cloth, nor as many
shirts as it woa?d then, 10y long sight
But nur market Is now gluttcd with niger
wool, and manufacturers must be made rich
if white wool growers go under But I've
not told you all about the farm trade
When Root received the $4,000 in gold
farm and stock, tools &c, he invested it
in government bonds at 81 so on the dollar,
receiving $25 600 Of mortgage On the la
Dor OF you and your boys as long as you
and | will vote as We always have. On
this $25, 900 bond he receives an interest of
the taxes paid by the laborers of the coun.
try $l,500 making him in four years, &c.
600 interest Oh bends. He deposits his
bonds with the Secretary of the Treasury as
security and receives 500, 800 in National
currency to loan out at six per cent. to tie
men who buy my wool and your pork, and
he tells the wool buyer and the pork buyer
not to pay more than At cents per pound
for wool, nor more than 81 cents per pound
for pork, or be will not lend him any more
money. So Root has received as interest
on his $22, 500 of National currency each
year for four years 81 $50, making interest
on currency for four years -, ,0OO-naking
interest on bonds and currency in the four
years $ll,400. He then goes back to Hill
and pays him this $ll 400 Of interest, that
he had received from other mems labor, for
his old farm and has yet left TO draw in.
tarest $25,0)0 in bonds, and of National
bank currency S22, 500 making in all upon
which the people pay him interest SAT 500;
and the people every year, as interest tor
this sum, will pay $2850-and Root has
the same old farm he began with
That the kind of aristocracy we We been
with wool at At cents per poudd
Now, MIR. Jones, am going to quit ming
