Staunton vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1860-1896, 1892-09-30

Thomas Jefferson in 1906, said that the
SPECTATORS were living Oh the minis and
he stopped the coinage of silver. After they
took the opposite track and said is ounces
should be equal to one of gold, the silver
disappeared and the gold dollar had to be
coined. In 80 years not more than eight
millions of dollars we've coined. but
from 1873 to 1890 the Democratic party has
coined 100000, goo; surely we have not
done any thing to drive silver down; what
is the result? Is it not still going down?
At one of the mines in Colorado you can dig
it out at IS cents cost, SO they come to the
mint with 66 cents worth of silver and
asks tine government to mark it as one dol
lar, OIL in other words he puts SO cents net in
his pocket. So the Democratic party de-
sires not free coinage, but unlimited coin
age. Let the government pay for the silver
What it is worth and coin it and thus the
government will make the difference and
not the miner, and this will be eqnalled to
4 just that much less tax on you and me-let
us have as much coined as the people want
let the government buy at market price and
put as much silver in the dollar as is right
and let the government make it if anything
is to be made.
| All the good in the public land plank of the
3rd party came from the democratic party,
and all that is not good they furnished
themselves.
In 1869. Holman, of Indiana first moved
that hereafter no public lands should be
granted to public corporations, but be held
! for settlers. 1t was laid OH the
table by the republicans. AS soon
as the democrats came into power in
the House we reclaimed so millions, and
Grover Cleveland reclaimed 80 millions.
The Third party propose to buy from the
railroads all lands not used for railroad
purposes. How will this help Vir-
GINA? Aliens Shall be prohibited from
buying lands, how will this profit Virginia?
1 come now to the Republican platform.
The tariff was for the encouragement of
infants, beginning in 1916, there is moth
ing of the infants now in age, in strength, in
wealth Oh in greed, instead of decreasing
prices they have gone from 10 per cent. to
lUU per Ceut. dHu upwards.
Labor like watermellons depends for
price on supply and demand, if there is
much labor and little demand, small price,
| little labor and great demand, large price.
Tariff produced stagnation Of business
by increasing to over-production and was
disastrous to labor, a laborer wants regular
and stated prices for labor, and in Rich
mond the laborer and mechanic see 1t and
are all with us and we are going to have a
big majority in the 3rd district.
THE TARIFF.
The tariff puts up a wall, the manu-
facturers fix the price OH all we want to
buy, but the price of our wheat is fixed by
the markets of the world.
Republicans said in 1883 they would re-
duce the tariff, they did reduce it with
vengeance, didn't they? Republicans don't
stand by a schedule, but principle, SO
if in 1888, when they promised to reduce,
they increased, what will they do if they
go upon the principle as high as they can
THE FOREIGNER PAYS THE TAX.
The foreigner pays the tax they say. If
the foreigner pays the tax on the goods,
why did they take it off of sugar and give
$50, 900 out of the treasury to the foreign
Ell. Don't you see they must take one horn
or other of the dilemma. Ii the consumer
pays the tax then they do not tell the truth;
if they tell the truth that the foreigner pays
it, why did they take $4,000 out of the
,uIlio froacI,ru to ri1,o tho foroirno1
THE FORCE BILL.
The Republicans don't tell us it is a bug
aboo, it is the Third party and the Prohi-
bitionists who tell us SO, the Republican
platform, State and Federal, and Fassett of
New ork, all say they are bound to pass
it, it is the only unredeemed promise and
they will redeem that. MI. Harrison says
he will again urge it's passage in his letter
meaning it is the same he proposed and
urged before.
TIE Chief Supervisor is appointed by al
U. S. Judge, if you wish to be appointed
under him you must use his form of ap-
pointment, he can recommends for every
voting precinct, and $4,000 precincts,
which gives total of $4,000 special Off
GERS to CONTROL your votes, nearly a mil
lion men-they also have power to
supervise registration. You may ap-
ply not to be appointed, but
you cannot refuse, he can send
Oh any where he pleases. He can send
men at least and any greater number more
he chooses to any place in the State and
thereby make them lose their votes. He
can make your wife answer his little whip
per-snappe-s questions OF go to jail OF pay
a fine. The whole scheme of the bill is
that every State officer is a cheat and a j
fraud and every q. S. officer is lovely.
Dan Martin, who is on acknowledged re-
peater, is holding an extra desk in the
National Committee. Under the hands of
such man you have under this bill no
chance to challenge a voter, the supervisor
says put the oath and that ends the matter.
This bill says 10 Governor is trustwor-
thy to canvass the vote. This Judge will
appoint Dan Martin OF Johnny Daven-
portland more than this Judge Bond can
force the returning board to change his
return. Judge Bond has the power to elect
SO members of Congress. Is this republic
can? is this liberty? This supervisor is
elected for life and has the power of ap-
pointing his successor for life. Is this
liberty?
They propose to abolish fair jury law
and adopt an unfair one in order to prevent
marshals from being punished and to have
people punished. They appointed a COM
mission to select jurles, so the last bulwark
is broken down and the trial nv q fair iurv
