About 100 or 200 assembled around Geo.
.Crumbackers Greenback pole, in East
Wheeling, last night, for the purpose Of
listening to the eloquent DR.. ]. Il, Ran.
dali, the Evangelist. Robert Marshall,
Esq, again introduced DR.. Randall, who
began his speech by nearly the same pre-
liminaries that he had used on Monday
evening ct the Court House, which were
In substance that he did not come out 10
abuse parties nor members OF parties. For
some time, indeed II not nearly all the
time he spoke, he varied but little from
his other speech. He gave alengthy and
very interesting account, or rather his
tory, OF the origin and coinage OF our va
rious coins, from cent TO an eagle, and
commented upon each and the various
uses to which II was put, or could be put.
He then turned his attention for little
time to the definition Of money, what It
was created for and the uses to which II
was turned, showing, in his peculiar man
ner, thatfrom an original good It had been
distorted into the poor mans curse and
bane.
"Plenty Of money is the poor mans
blessing, reasoned the orator. Scarcity Of
money Is hiscu Plenty Of money and
plenty Of work renders Q laborer indie.
pendent; but no money induces debt and
| its concomitant curses. Debt makes a
poor man the rich man's slave"
In Alabama, where recently stumped,
there is plenty OF cheap labor; the cheap
est kind, but how does 1t live? You
should 20 there and see for yourselves
| In this country OF so-called freedom, 1t is
| a shame and q disgrace that labor should
| be subjected to the conditions 1t is. In
Alabama the poor white man or poor
colored man who has not money is in q
condition infinitely worse than slavery.
For instance, a dealer down there buys
bacon, and to those who have money with
which TO buy II, he sells itat six cents per
pound; but the poor negro who mortgages
his crops for the purpose OF buying his
food, he charges twelve to fifteen cents
per pound.
They are in the South poorly fed and
worse clothed; there is nothing TO incite
them to better their condition; there Is
nothing in their surroundings OF an ele-
waiting or refining character, and then I'M
der Democratic rule, or rather misrule,
they, instead OF coming up as they should,
rather deteriorate and decli.e.
Greenback rudiments were then sew
orally taken up and explained, after which
the speaker demonstrated In q speCious
manner that labor paid the taxes, and
thereby sustained the country. They, as O
party, proposed 10 stop all the crying evils
TO ameliorate the condition OF the laborers
to take the surplus money and discharge
the burden OF debt Of the country, besides
other less important reformations. He
then turned his attention to the Presi'
Dental candidates, but he only got as fai
as Mr.. English, for whom he seems 70
have an especial aversion. "This man,
he said, "for fourteen years was President
of the First National Bank OF Indianapolis
and in that time absorbed over one hun
dred and fifty properties Of poor men who
were, through the grasping ayarice OF one
man, deprived Of all their comforts, al
their enjoyments, homes which they hac
put in years Of painful toll to accumulate
| Tor which they had denied themselves
comforts and often necessities, and IN thu
end only to be swallowed at gulp BY
this Insurer; and how in Gods name any
laboring man can support him or give hin
support is beyond my ken. How any mar
can vote for Hancock or the Democrat,
| ticket with that accursed tail to 1t is NOR,
than l can define. The election OF such I
man means the land, bank and law rob
berries OF England re-enacted in thi
Union"
DR.. Randall will speak at Point Mill
this evening, and again in the city durini
the week.
