Money Democrats Are
Very Active.

The Fourth Ward Republican Club held
an enthusiastic and largely attended meet
ing at Carlson's hall. Sixteenth and Penn
streets, last night. George ]. Baer pre-
sided. Hon. Frank A. Faxon made a
brief but earnest speech, as a business
man, in favor of sound money and pro-
lection. He showed how the free silver
agitation was unsettling business and al
ready producing an aggravation of the
commercial depression from which the
country has been suffering. He showed
that what was good for the business man
was good for the laborer, and what was
bad for one was bad for the other. He
declared that confidence must be restored
before prosperity will be restored. The
election of Mckinley will restore both.
Hon. Gardiner Lathrop followed in a
mastery and eloquent argument in favor
of sound money He exposed the fallacies
of free silver and showed how the laborer
would suffer first and worst He reviewed
the financial history of the country and
declared for protection. sound money, re-
ciprocity and national credit. He de-
nounced the Reputation OF just debts, and
scored Bryan for openly admitting that
free silver would bring on panic but
claiming that a panic was better than a
gold standard, and that the country would
get over it. Mr.. Lathrop's address was re-
peatedly applauded, and vote of thanks
was rendered him, Mr.. Faxon and Alder
man Morgan, who followed him in one of
his enthusiastic speeches.
