The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1896-10-13

But they can't close our eyes 10 the tar
III. We claim that under sound pro-
tective thrift you Will see prosperous
times such as You hnveinot eeen the
past four years. We are not tariff mon
omaniacs-'we simply want the prosper
ity we enjoyed under Republican rule,
Hearty bursts OF applause greeted
many Of the Illustrations OF Mr.. Curtis.
He. had to give away on several occa-
slons when his hearers broke forth In
cheers. His scoring OF the Democrats
caught the fancy OF the crowd.
Mr.. Frank W. Nesbitt. a rising young
attorney OF this city, followed Mr.. Cur
tbs. Mr.. Nesbltt possesses n good stage
presence and rare Evolutionary talent.
He Is well versed upon the silver ques-
ton. 10 which he chiefly confined his re-
marks.
He asked the audience IL they remem-
bered the free trade remedy proposed.
Would they return the free trade party
back to power? A storm Of noes" fol-
lowed this question. The Democrats
promised in 1892 the farmers would have
no more seventy-cent wheat, and the
farmers haven't, They promised that
there would be no more twenty-eight-
cent wool. and there isn't. Four years
ago We were thinking OF getting patent
SCOT consumers In Wheeling With idle
mills, at present we do not worry about
the SCOT.
The Popocratic party stands for repu-
d!ation. With Tlllman and Altgeld at
their head. they have cut away from the
Democratic party and are political out
casts. There Is no fear OF the outcome
In November. but 1t is the duty OF every
man to examine the new issue brought
forth by the Popocratic party. On the
one hand they offer US the free and un-
limited coinage OF silver and free trade.
On the other hand. the Republican par
y ohers you sound money under gold
standard. and protection.
MIR. NesbItt showed the fallacy In the
Popocratic argument that silver was cut
away In 1873. In 1872, II you borrowed
money. you paid TO 10 per cent. In
1892 you paid to per cent. We have
more than twice as much money now a 8
We had in 1873. The American people
have not been defrauded out OF half OF
,heir possessions, as also Is claimed by
the Popocrats. In 1873 the average an
nual wages to n man was ovr $500: in
-ls92 the average was overSi00. 1 might
also point TO the improvements in our
| own city.
We must have international agree
ment. Uncle Sam cannot lift himself IN
by his own shoe straps. II Uncle Sam
buys fifty-three cents worth of silver
and stampsit dollar. Uncle Sam makes
forty-seren cents. Under free coinage
Uncle Sam would stnISp dollar, hand
It to the mine owner. and the mine owner
would get the f0rty-seven cents.
The law of supply and demand regu-
lates silver as II does wool. glass, or any
thing else. II silver Is lifted up gold
must be lifted up. We cannot change
this inevitable law.
The speaker referred to the letter In
recent Register where President Diaz.
Oh Mexico, Is quoted as saying an Amer
lean dollar passed In Mexico on a par
with silver dollar. Mr.. NesbItt said
he did not believe President Diaz ever
wrote such d letter.
You can call slx-inch stick a twelve
inch stick, one quart two quarts, a so.
cent dollar l00-cent dollar, but you will
find It takes dollar worth 100 cents to
keep the wolf from the door. The man
who owns a mortgage would be reduced
almost to poverty IL he were to be paid
In 50-cent dollars-one-half his due.
There are four million panK depositors
there are numberless insurance policy
holders. Do they want to be paid In So
cent dollars? When prices double. the
sliding scale may take workingmen's
wages UP % per cent at the farthest.
Bryan says We need more circulation
OF money. Start our mills going, keep
our money sound. and we will have oil
the circulation needed. 1t is not cIrcula-
ton we want; II Is distribution.
The speaker. describing the Chicago
convention, pictured the "nnarchistic
makeup OF the Popocratic element that
controlled the convention. There was
no leader. Out In the west Their was a
river like the ancient Nile, overlooking
It's banks annually. This river belched
forth an individual and his name was
Bryan. This man spoke here few dave
ago. He put forth no arguments. He
appealed TO class pre1udices, trying to
array the farmers against the capItal-
lists.
This young demagogue should be ey-
amined, He, cast up on the sea Of unrest.
Is no man to guide our ship OF state. In
the commonwealth OF Ohio, on the
porch Of q modest home you will find the
grand statesman, arguing for the OPEN
Ing of the mills to American working
men instead Of the American mints to
the foreign mines. the advocate of
American interests against the world.
This Is the man who deserves your conf
dence. He will never be found wanting
in the guardianship OF your trust.
Like the previous speaker, Mr.. Nes-
bitt was frequently Interrupted by APP
plause. At the close of the meeting
three .rousing cheers were given for the
Republican candidates. The success of
the meeting reflects much credit upon
Its promoters.
