THE KENosHA TEMPLE or HONOR.
BAND IN ATTENDANCE. e@
A large number Of our citizens. both
ladies and gentlemen, filled the Hall to
overfiowing on Friday evening. to lis
ten to the Republican candidate for
Assembly on the important financial
questions now before the country. The
Temple of Honor band were on hand
and gave us some fine music. It was a
novel sight to see in the streets of Bris-
tol at night a numerous band with
their shining silver instruments and
blazing torches. A large crowd had
gathered in advance of the arrival of
the band and listened with untiring
pleasure TO the inspiring strains of the
music. The hall was filed at an early
hour, and the band, after discoursing
music on the street, found some diff
Guilty in working their way through the
audience to the front, where seats were
provide d for them on the platform. It
! was a good omen to see SO many ladies
present. Tt shows there are important
interests at stake when our mothers,
sisters and wives turn out to hear po-
| litical speeches. It reminds one Of the
times Of the slavery agitation and the
times when husbands, fathers and
; brothers were far away, periling health,
life and limb to maintain the Union
The ladies appreciate the fact that the
future of our prosperity depends on
our having honest dollars to pay debts
and buy goods with, and we venture to
say that every lady who listened to
Mr.. Quarles will see to it that the vo-
ters Of her household turn out and vote
the Republican ticket, no matter what
the weather is, on the fifth day of next
November.
The appearance of Nh. Quarles on
the rostrum was greeted with applause.
He was briefly announced to the audi
ence by the chairman, MI. R. F. Rob
erts. In his preliminary remarks the
speaker said he regretted that the f.
nancial question was made so much a
partisan one, and he did not propose to
discuss it from partisan stand point.
The question Of whether we should
have honest money Or Cat money was
one that concerned Democrats as we'll
as Republicans. But we have another
party who call themselves greenback-
ers and are not. The speaker here
drew humorous picture of the pa
rents, conception and birth of the fat
infant which made even the soft mon
ely men smile hugely. In concluding the
topic he said if any one asked him if
he had heard from Maine; He should
reply he had. The rag baby had kick
ed vigorously in Maine. It had how
ever been taken back to Ohio where it
was first Graded and was taken severe
ly sick. 3..s ...,,,fI
Mr.. Quarles then launched into his
subject in earnest. He took his hear
ers back to primitive times when SIM
pie exchanges were made by barter,
and showed how the necessity Of mon
ely OF common and universal medium
Of exchange was developed. The his
tory of the world through all the ages
taught that money must have an in
trinsic value equal to the commodities
for which it is exchanged. Several in
stances were cited where nations and |
rulers had made the experiment of
using fiat money, and showed the dis
aster and ruin that resulted. The
same necessity existed to-day for mon
ey of value. No other money could be
honest, and on no other money could
prosperity exist. The various points at +
issue were successfully treated on and /
the discussion of the question was as
exhaustive as could be made in. one
speech. His auditors listened with
close attention to the end. Mr.. Quarles
did one most beneficial thing for some
of his auditors. The fat money dem
agogues had conjured up Of the nation
al banks terrible phantom of grind
ing and oppressive monopoly, It haunt
ed the farmers slumbers as a hideous
it wrung from his sunburnt I
brow double quantity Of sweat as he
