MCKINLEY BLArlES CLEVELAND.
For Discrediting Silver and Enhancing the
Price Of Gold

For Discrediting Silver and Enhancing the
Price Of Gold.
Springfield, Qllinois) Register, Sept, 20 1896.
The following is a verbatim extract
from the address of William McKin-
ley at the Lincoln Day banquet, in
Memorial Hall, Toledo, Ohio, Febru
AIRY 18th, 1891:
During all of Grover Cleveland's
years at the head of the government
ne was dishOnOring one OF our precious
metals, one Of our own great products,
diScrediting silver and enhancing the
price of gold. He endeavOred even
before his Inauguration TO Office, TO
stop the coinage of silver dollars, and
afterward, and to the end of his ad.
ministratioD, persiStently used his
power TO that end. He was determined
TO contract the circulating medium
and TO demOnetiZe one Of the coins OF
commerce, limit the volume of monty
among the people, make money scarce
and therefore dear. He would have
increased the value of money and di.
minished the value of everything
else-mOney the master, everything
else the servant. He was not think
ing of the poor then. He had left
their side He was not standing
forth in their defense. Cheap coats,
cheap labor and dear money. The
sponsor and promoter OF those profess
ing to stand guard over the welfare OF
the poor and lowly. Was there ever
more inconsistency or reckless assump-
tiOn?"
What has changed McKinley's
views on silver?
Mr.. Mckinley is now pledged to op-
pose the coinage Of silver dollars. His
price, nomination for president.
Whom will he have to serve, if elect.
ed? Answer: Money, his master. He
will have no time TO think of the poo7
then. He has already left their side
for cheap coats, cheap labor and dear
money" LabOring man, business
man, and farmer, where do you stand
in this crisis? Think before casting
your vote!

ley county, Kansas. He was married
there in 1875; became a resident OF
Sumner county In 1880, farmed two
years; moved to Oxford in 1882 and
e gagged in the drug business and
grain business. In the course Of three
years his grain business required all
his attention and he sold out mis- drug
business and devoted all his time to
the grain business, which he is en-
gagged in at present.
Politically, he has always been a
Republican, but has been an advo-
cate of free coinage since it has been
an issue. After the adoption of the
st. Louis platform by his party, he
deserted and denounced it, and at
once identified himself with the Ma.
tiOnal silver party, and was one OF the
representatives from Sumner county
to their state convention held at To-
peka this summer.
He is fully Qualified for the duties
Of the Office of district clerk. He is a
man of the strictest integrity. The
people with whom he has dealt in bus.
ness are his warmest friends. The
VOICE hOreS and believes that he will
be triumphantly elected.

II is a mothers duty to crown her chiId

can possess good health. This she can
only do by taking proper care of herself
pnor to the child's birth, and especially
during the period of CESSATION. Too few
women realize the importance Of their own
health. Too few understand that the health
OF theft children is dependent upon the

Let US be fair now. If protection
is really what we want, We can get it
by going on silver basis.
1t can be argued further that the
United States is in better shape to
adopt the silver standard than Mex
leo because her obligations are pay
able in silver and would therefore
require no gold premium to be paid
to meet them.

The Republicans have been, and
are yet, We presume, distributing
circulars all over Kansas explaining
why wheat is worth only 10 cents in
India. Yesterdays market reports
stated that shipments Of wheat would
be made to India, and it is worth
10 cents now at any sea board point.

Now it is stated that freight rates
will not advance. That is good.
But western farmers are too shrewd
to let the temporary advance in
wheat and decline in freight rates
beguile them into the support ofthe
corporation party. Both these cir.
cumstances just at this time smell
7ery much like long-tail rat.

The two wings of the Prohibition

The two wings Of the Prohibition
party in Kansas have united with
the dissatisfied anti-Morrill element
in the Republican party, and nom-
mated Rev. J. E. Brant Of Fl. Scott,
for governor, and A. H. Vance Of
Topeka, for encouragement. This
means trouble for Governor Morrill,.
His vascilating and inconsistent
course in enforcing the law is to be
pitted squarely against him by the
temperance people. We understand
the prohibition people will make an
active campaign.

During the storm early Saturday
morning, a tornado visited the farm OF
Hon. Peter Holmquist in kidder Town
ship, scattering death and destruction in
it's pathway. His barn, granary, and
house form a triangle, but fortunately
the house was not in the direct path and
escaped damage. The graaary held
about 300 bushels OF grain and was
moved about two rods but was not de-
stroyed. The large barn was where the
force OF the storm fell and that building
was totally destroyed, not one board
being left on another. Within the barn
were nine head OF horses and a lot OF
farm machinery, overhead was about
ten tons OF hay. When the building coli
lapsed, the foundation and posts kept
the hay and roof from settling to the
ground, forming a sort oil shed from
under which the horses We're brought
forth, wonderful TO relate, alive but i'm
various stages OF injury. Thrs. had to
be hauled out on stone boats and subse-
quently killed, and it is probable the
Others will have to be treated the same
way. The chickens i'm one end OF the
barn were all killed. The total loss in
iicted amounts to about $1,000 upon
which there is about $500 cyclone insur-
ancs. Several remarkable incidents OF
the tornado are reported-for instance,
the windmill close TO the barn was not
disturbed, a barrel oi lime nea the house
was carried about eight rods and de-
stroyed, and a large corne foundation
! stone was moved about two feet. At a
first glance, it would be hard to tell how
the horss- ever escaped alive, but the
shed formed a. above saved them. Uncle
Peter IL naturally feeling badly over isis
heavy loss, bait st the same time il very
thankful that the house aud inmatss
escaped injury. 4 strange feature il
that no damage was sustained nor the
tornado felt elsewhere in the neighbour
/ hood.
