"The Carey Barbecue"
The nationals greatest gun. Sam Carey.
spoke here last night. The meeting had
been largely advertised for nearly two
weeks, glaring hand bills having been
posted upon every available spot in the
city and along the highways. bundles OF
them sent out into the country by every
one who would take them for distribution
among the farmers; all the towns, large
and small, in the county were judiciously
billed, and even as far down the river as
Muscatine the Carey barbecue" was ad.
vertised. A few hungry looking individu.
ais from the latter place who had capa.
city for an ordinary beef, and who looked
as though it had never been satisfied, were
seen running wildly about inquirine
where that barbecue was" The delega'
ton from Hampton arrived early and con,
sisted of two men driving sorry lookinG
mule and third laboriously producing
wierd and grotesque sounds upon toy
fife.
After waiting long time for the Rocl
Island delegation to arrive, which it did
about Fifty stTong, Mr.. Carey opened hi,
| battery, as Was announced, in defense Of
the poor laborng men, being supported OF
the stage by hose statwart sons of toll Il
Il Grover, DR., McKiunie, Parson Haney
the Ex-Purser and the ike.
He commenced with the remark that b,
was glad TO address two acres of peopl
! this evening, not an unusual occurrence
he paused for applause, but as the Grove
was not occupying over forty feet squar,
| o. ground, no one saw where the laugh
came IN. Among other statements, b.
said that there vas no intrinsic value il
gold or silver and Illustrated it by tellin,
about a trip he made to England, taking
quantity of gold eagles. When he arrive.
there he was told to exchange it for Eng
fish coin. Going to an exchange broke
he placed his gold on the table, they weigh
ed it aud asked what he wanted for il
He said money that is in use here-what
can buy what | want with. and he receive
il. This is only one of the innumerabl
absurd illustrations be used but vii
serve to show the character of th
speech. If there had been no intrlnsi
value in the gold would that Englishmal
have taken the trouble to weigh it ant
ask what he wanted for it2 Havin
done SO would he have given him Euglisl
coin in exchange for it-mark, he did no
say that he received less amount G
, English money for his gold. Again,
be had thrown down any quantity of strip
of paper with green, red, yellow, black 0
white blacks would that broker have weig
ed it and asked what he wanted for it, o
would he have sent for an officer to tax
charge of lunatic?
