The speech OF Hon. C. L. Weems In
this city so ratified the silver leaders

SEEMING the force and effect OF the sound
reasoning for an honest dollar and the
chance to earn II. The appeal to the
reason OF the voters In this city and all

daily, and the assertions from the heresy
OF free silver are most encouraging.
Men have begun to realize the d!sas-
trou8 effects OF reducing the purchasing
power OF all the dollars we should have
left In this country II unlimited coinage

Is not the slightest danger OF 50-cent
dollars. The leaders are distracted, eR-
pecially the few who so love prominence
as 10 be willing to sacrifice all else for a
little notoriety. They now resort to the
use OF bill!Hgsgate us a substitute for
argument. They have abandoned the
"crime' cry, abandoned Mexico and
Peru as examples to guide America, and
have even dropped on the price OF wheat

grand old Belmont county. They know
the men who are preaching free silver,
to them. They know. too, why some of
them are doing II. The people are think

hoods Of the egitators disappear like
soap bubbles every time the truth ls ur.
covered.
