Nr. Butler made a plain,
practical Common SENSE speech.
He took up the issues dividing
the parties and discussed them
in fearless, manly and conyinc-
ing way. He said lie would
endeavor to clear away the
"chaf from the wheat" in Mr..
Glenn's speech, and crack tia
kernels. He did this in q pracr
teal aud thorough way, A
separation showed it to consist
OF about fifty bushels Of chat,
made up Of gush, personal abuse
and appeals to prejudice, with
three grains of wheat, labeled
respectively tariff, pension and
f5rco bill, and a grain of cheat
labeled free silver. The grain
OF tariff had a live germ, and
was proven to be very prolific
under Democratic or Republican
nature. 1t is cultivated by
both, one for Revenue and the
other for Protection. The re-
cotds IN, W that a tariff for Re-
Venue has been. greater than
when levied for0Aection, and
that it cannot faiI to increase
rapidly under either SO long as
the expenses Of q government
Of sixty-four millions of people
must be met principally from
that source. The grain Of pen
sion had also q live germ and
was shown to be quite prolific
under Democratic or Republican
culture. The records shown
that ii increased rapidly each
succeeding year since the war,
that the increase under Cleye-
lands administration was very
much ahead Of any yield under
former administration aid that
should Cleveland be again cleo
ted ana make as great increase
i'll this crop over his predecessor
as he did over his former pre-
decessOr the pension would in
deed be burden to the coun
try. The grain of force bill
was found to be much watered,
badly swollen and the germ APP
parently dead, Tut Mr.. Butler
very appropriately branded as
Infamous the spirit that conceiv-
ed it or that would now encour-
age its growth. CThe remarks
Of both on this subject it oc-
carred to Is were quite appl Ca
bic to those who resort to force
and intimidation to prevent a
flee and fair discussion Of the
Issues in this campaign, but our
people may not have made a
personal application, GU the
ground that present company
are excepted"
The grain of cheat free sill
ver- needed no proof before
our people as to its character,
FOR the Record Of Mr.. Cleveland
Was well known to all. Demo
Gratis have not heretofore claim
ed that he was f. rorable to free
silver Mr.. Glenn ciaimed to
have later advices, but Mr.. But
Ter was eqnal to the occasion
and proc uced still later and
overwhelming evidence tina
froe coinage has 10 hope at the
hands OF Mr.. Cleveland. We
will give proof in next Issue.
Mr.. Clean and his friend fail
to appreciate the extent OF the
educational work that has been
going on in this country for
sometime, it they suppose that
attacking and besinirc hing the
character of Mir. Butler, Gen.
Weaver or any number OF other
men, can affect the issues in
this campaign; that the charac-
ter of these men does or can In
any degree affect the legisla
ton that is needed to give re-
lief to the sixtySfour millions
Of people under this Govern
ment. They seemed t. ba Ia
boring under the impression
that Mr.. Butler was the grea /
issue and If they could detnol-
ish him, democracy would ne
safe, wien as Ii after OF fact
Mr.. Butiec is not even a candi
