defeat. Foster is recognized as the
candidate Of the Shylocks and the OPP
pressors of the toiling masses, OF those
who eat their bread in the sweat OF the
faces OF others, No National Green
hacker can vote for FosrER without
being a shameless apostate from his pro-
fessed principles. He may consistently
vote for PIArr, giving as his reason that
he does not wish to give aid and comfort
and success to the old Democratic party.
Many others, himself included in the
number, he says, who care more for the
success and triumph OF principle than
party, will vote for EWING because they
recognize in him defender OF good prln-
ciples though not connected with our
church"
Ashe (CARY) views the situation, he
would regard himself criminal IL ne
could "stand by and see EWING strlck-
en- down, not because he is a Democrat,
but because he is labor and financial
reformer." His election would inspire
every honest toiler with courage and
with hope that he will be emancipated
from the memorable and cruel slavery oil
the money power. With the Inaugural
ton of such measures as Ewing advo-
Gates the workingmen would not have
TO depend upon blasted haryests in the
Old World for employment and bread
and shelter.
Il understand" he saws, "that the
National banks are proposing doubtless
nj the instance of SHERMAN x Co.. to
send TO headquarters for few thou
sands of gold to be paid out 10 you be-
fore the election, to convince you that
resumption has come, and that II you
would have it stay, YOU must vote for
Foster. Shameless hypocrisy! False
pretenses to cheat you out oil your
votes! They presume upon your lg-
norance and impose upon your credulity
by their shallow pretense. Do not be
misled and deceived. Their real pur-
pose is, not to give you gold, but to ena'
BILE National bankers 10 loan out their
debts 10 your employers and gobble up
Cur earnings in usury. Grow rich upon
the interest of their debts! Their Occu-
patton would be gone if every dollar OF
money, whether gold, silver or paper,
was issued directly blythe government"
Would you have your government
substitute a lot of bankers to furnish a
circulatory medium for the people? We
have one hundred and fiity-three OF
these vampires in Ohio, sucking the life
blood of the people. Their Presidents,
cashiers, clerks, tellers, messengers and
watchmen receive in annual salaries
more than a million and half OF dol
lars, without earning a single cent by
any productive industry. They have
contriyed 10 earn for their share holders
some eighteen per cent upon their capt.
tai. While honest industries have been
paralysed and labor has been starving,
these bank corporation have been reyel-
ling in IN gotten gains. They can afford
to get little gold to distribute among
the people Just before election to induce
them to vote for FOSTER and good times.
What the people want is plenty OF work
and good wages, and they should be paid
i'm homes, naOnsy. Bankers never did and
never can make honest mORSy. The only
honest n,Oneg is that which is stamped by
the government and which it receives
for all its taxes and dues, and which will
pay all debts public and private. We
would have no such initiation OF the cur
rency as the Republican party proposes,
limiting the volume only by the amount
of outstanding bonds and dOled out by
banks, but enough of good honest
money to employ the labor, distribute its
products and transact the business OF
the country.
Ifvou would subsilize bankers to
furnish the currency, make it abundant
or scarce to suit their cupidity, vote Tor
FOSTER, lie is their chosen standard
bearer, Ii you would have honest
money furnished by your Government
and when YOU have earned a dollar re-
ceive it without having it shaved by
passing through 4 bankers hands, vote
for EWING. He is the friend and de
fender of the rights OF labor, and on this
account he is bitterly opposed by the
drones in the great hive OF human So
ciety.
The foregoing gives a fair indication
of the argument with which Gen. CARY
addresses his audience. We were not
sufficiently familiar with the audience
at Martins Ferry to know Of what
political elements il was composed, but
his every appeal for Ewing was met
with a storm OF hearty applause. Gen.
CARY's style is of that character which
reaches the masses, and there
is no question but that his
canvass will have considerable influence
upon the result in that State.
He is, perhaps, as familiar with the
disposition Of the Greenbackers in that
State as any other man, and expresses
the utmost confidence that they will poll
twenty thousand votes for EwING. He
thinks there is a slight detection among
the Democrats, brought about by the in
huence of the National Banks, and his
allegation that EWING has to fight not
only combination OF the National
Banks OF Ohio, but ofthe whole country,
is not Overstated. The detection they
have created among the Democrats is,
he thinks, more than offset by similar
condition in the Republican party,
many Of whom will vote for EwING be-
cause Of their hatred OF the banks and
