fare and that sort of thing. The advice
was followed, and when the young fellow
presented the next bill of expenses to the
firm the old man was perfectly satisfied
ssNo suit of clothes this time see'' The
young fellow winked at his chum and said
aside: 'sThey are there old man, but you

my friend, you are paying the tax all the
same, but you don't know it daughter and

PROTECTION OF PROTECTION.
They say Protection is to increase the
workmen S wages. There is no folly greater
than that. You ought to know that wages
in free trade England are higher than they
are in protectionist Belgium and protec
ton Germany. Protection keeping uE
wages I! Go and say that under the shadow
of Carnegie's Homestead, with the bodies
Of dead wo1kmen lying in the streets
There hasn't been day since the McKin-
ley bill became a law, that there hasn't been
strike going on and not for higher wages
either-but to keep the wages from reduc-
ton, as at Homestead. Protection to the
American workmen 1t is protection to
the men who build palaces at the expense
of thousands Of robbed farms (applause)
men who are determined to build these
palaces if they have to hire Pinkertons to
defend their right, and have to put Force
Bill bayonets at the polls to stifle the cutlery
Of the people. And yet there are men
asked to 60 up to the polls and vote
again for that system! And you in Augusta
county are asked to vote for Harrison
straight, Oh to vote for the Third party
candidate, SO that the Democratic party
may be split and Harrison may be elected.
You are asked to cast your vote with that
dark shadow which has arisen in the South
called
THE THIRD PARTY,
whose mission is not it's own success, but
the success of Harrison by the defeat OF
the Democracy. At our county court in
Albemarle charged Gen. Field to his face
with saying that the Third party would give
Virginia to Harrison and he did not deny
it. Oh my Democratic friends who befriend
the Third party what can you be thinking
of !? Judge Grattan s illustration of your
case is the true one. He said you reminded
him of a man who has been rolling a stone
to the top of a hill for thirty years and just
as he gets it to the top let's it 60 and let's it
roll back (applause). Let me speak III all
kindness to you of the Third party. if any
are here. You complain of silver. Well,
Sherman and his party did the demonetizing
of silver. Your complaint is against the
Republican party not the Democratic. But
there is money, COOLIES of money in the
country, the only question with you is who
has got your share Of it. Gen. Field and
Brad. Beverly talking about Cleveland
being the tool of Wall street! If there
ever was a man on Gods green earth who
couldn't be made a tool of anybody, that
man is Grover Cleveland (great cheering).
The trouble with some leople is that he
can't be made a tool of (applause). He is
afraid of nothing and nobody. He stood
by you men Of the South. He put two eX-
ConfederateS in his cabinet and one on the
Supreme bench, and under his administra-
tion there was no office too good for a
Southern man (applause). Now tell me
one Southern man that Harrison has ap-
pointed to his cabinet OIL to any other posi-
ton that wasn't local.
STATE BANKS OF CIRCULATION.
You want more currency? Well the
Democratic party has pledged itself to give
you more! 1t has pledged itself to take of
the 10 per cent tax on State Banks. Will
this give you more? MI. Gordon in an
swer to this question, read letter just re-
ceived by State Chairman Basil Gordon
from Douglas III. Thomas, President of the
Merchants National Bank Of Baltimore,
in which he says that if the tax is taken off
State banks that institution which now has
circulation of $4,000 will surrender its
national charter and become a State bank
with 81 900, 900 circulation. He says the
profit under the present law is not of one
per cent. and the change will be welcome
one.
THE FORCE BILL.
Grover Cleveland, Adlai Stevenson and
Harry Tucker, the Democrats now before
you for your votes are against the Force
Bill. harrison is for it. 1t makes doc
ument as thick as my two fingers and is
written with hell-fre on every page. The
Republicans rushed it through the House.
Frye of Maine, said: eff necessary, il
should carry bayonet behind every ballot. ,
But in the Senate it was truly characterized
by Republican Senator, Teller, as ''The
most Infamous bill that ever crossed the
threshold of the Senate" The Supervi-
sors in it are appointed by the Republican
Federal Judges and they are also made y.
S. Marshals as soon as their duties begin.
This is done because by decision Of the
U. S. Supreme Court a Marshal who shoots
down man, in the discharge of his duty.
cannot be held guilty. Under that bill a
Federal official can invade the home of any
man in Augusta county without a warrants
and U. s. Commissioner ON election day
can commit him to any prison. Under 1t
you might elect Tucker in this district by
10000 majority and the Federal Board of
canvassers could certify his opponent to be
elected and the Clerk of the House of Rep
resentatives would be obliged by law to
put the fraudulent man IS name on the roll
Of the House. And in it it is provided
that Federal troops may be called in. And
yet MI. Brad. Beverley tells people that
this bill is no worse than the Anderson.
Mccormick law OF Virginia. Does the
Anderson Mccormick law provide fol
troops at tie polls Didn't the Republi
cans OF Virginia elect six out of the tel
congressman, under the Anderson McCOr
