IF the Sound Money Democrats ION.
tinue to bring among us such cele-
brated orators as Hon. Henry Austin
Adams and Hon. Isidor Rayner the
people will soon realize that they
mean business.
Mr.. Adams speech is conceded to
have been one of the finest ever heard
in this city. The beauty of it was,
he had abundant reason for the faith
that is in him. His plea for sound
money was unanswerable. There
was not a semblance OF demagogy
about him. He was clear, lucid and
forcible. His analysis of the Popo-
cratic platform was so plain and prac-
tible as to elicit applause from his
opponents. Should he return there
is not a hall in the city that would
contain his audience.
Hon. Isidor Rayner is second to nc
man in the Nation. Having hearc
him we know whereof we write. Ev.
erybody should hear him.

parison with any misguided Republi-
cans who may be fooled into follow
ing him when he said. Every BIG
Democrat who deserts us leaves a hole
large enough for sixteen LITTLE Re-
publicans to crawl in" That is his
expressed opinion of a man or any
set Of men heretofore protesting to be
Republicans who are silly enough to
DIN the Popocrats; that it would take
10 of them to fill the place of one
Democrat.
The opinion Of a large majority Of
those who heard him was that he was
entirely too SMALL a nan to fill the
office of President of the United
States.

Observation-Disclosures does not exact

ton of the late Trmocratic party,
the inquiry of Hon. Thomas Watson
IF the Populist voters stay at
home, who is to elect Bryan3"-has
become a wonderfully pertinent ques-
ton. The more so since Mr.. Bryan,
in his speech here, read out of the
Popocratic party all persons who dc
accept his vagaries as sound Democ'
racy.

Under free coinage the Government
does not guarantee the VALUE OF
money, as is proven by the fact that
gold coin that is abraded or worn pass
es for what it is actually worth and
NOT ONE CENT MORE. On the
contrary, under II present system,
every silver coin and every bank bill
and government note passes for its
FULL FACE VALUE. With free
coinage of silver the dollar would pass
for its bullion value and NOT ONE
CENT MORE.
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1896-10-03

The advocates of free coinage adj
NIT that prior to 1878, silver and gold
were rarely at par, yet the difference
between the coinage and bullion value
was at no time more than 81 cents.
Now, with a difference of 50 cents,
they demand tree coinage of silver,
knowing (they cannot be so iearfully
and awfully ignoran0 that we will at
once go upon a silver basis withdraw
ing from circulation one-third of the
money of the country. cit is a con-
dition, not a theory, which confronts
us"
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1896-10-03

Those Popocrats who persist in in
sisting that gold does not circulate
put up a strong argument against
their pet hobby-free coinage of sill
yer at the ratio of I6 to lin that
they prove that the inferior money
always circulates among the people
while the better or superior money
hides itself in safe deposit OF bank
vaults. If gold and gold notes hide
away now, in spite of the law that 1t
is the policy of the Government to
maintain the existing parity between
gold and silver, how much mor Ger
tainIy would the country 60 to a sill
yer basis provided the barrier were
removed that now maintains the par

Bryan's speech here may be briefly
summarized as follows; We are adj
vocating measures which are opposed
by all OF the business interests of the
Nation and are therefore opposed by
business men. 1t is a fight of the
masses against the classes" and we
are the masses. You must ignore
the history and experience of the ages
and follow us to riot, ruin and repudi-
alton,

1t is rather difficult to make it APP
pear that the Government has des-
eliminated against silver since 1873,
when remember that after 81 years of
free coinage we had, in 1873, but
about $I2, 900, 900 all told in silver;
in 1873 we had accumulated $87, 6o3,-
100, and June I, 1896, 5000, 1881,
an average increase of about $4,000,
600 a year, and all as good as gold.

Republican and Sound Money Rallies

Hon. Isidor Rayner, of Baltimore,
and d. c. Westenhayer, Esq, of this
city, National Democrats, will speak
at a big Sound Money meeting at the
Central Opera House, this Saturday
evening.
Mr.. Rayner is one of the most pol
ished orators of the day and has no
superior as an advocate of Sound
Money and National Integrity. MI.
Westenhaver is at home and needs no
introduction. 1t is possible that he
may refer to Mr.. w. ]. Bryan's stric-
lures upon those Democrats who do
not accept his theories. If he should
do so, rest assured he will not wear
gloves.
Hon. Curtis Guild, of Boston, will
be the leading attraction at a great
Republican rally at the same place
Monday night. Those who know Mr..
Guild say he is the equal of any
speaker in the contest now being
waged.
County Chairman Clohan especi-
ally requests a full attendance and
we wish to add that all will be amply
repaid.
Then next Saturday, the 10th, Hon.
George Wesley Atkinson, u next
Governor, will be here. He will
speakiat Shanghai at l p. M, sharp,
and at the Opera House at night, at
which meeting every Republican is
expected to be present.
Senator Wellington, of Maryland,
willspeak in this city on the I4th.
Ladies are interested and are al
ways welcome. Let everybody at

If the Popocrats are right, why is
it that the best element of the Demo-
cratic party is actively and earnestly
fighting the fat heresy? Practically
all of the great leaders of the party,
practically all of the business men of
the party, practically every man versed
in the intricacies of finance and trade
are against them, fighting shoulder
to shoulder with Republicans for Ma
tional honor aud Sound Money.

And then came Vim. J. Bryan ION
Wednesday. With him also came
Hon. Jeff. Chandler, of Mississippi,
and Deputy Commissioner of Pensions
Bell, of Washington.
The meeting was held on the com-
mons, neat the c V. freight depot,
where a platform had been erected.
Mr.. Bryan was an hour late and in or
der to gather and hold the audience
Mr.. Chandler undertook to talk
against time and after putting in an
hour and a half. he was the tiredest
man in town, and gave up in despair.
Then the band played a tune and
finally the "Boy Orator of the Platte
arrived. BY that time some three
thousand people had assembled, but
the applause vas far from overpower-
ing. Then was considerable yelling
but it lacked that s%pontaneity which
/ lllQlCdlGS genuine ShNH GoAoShA' 49,
spoke for twenty minutes. The big
whistle at the Auburn Wagon Cos
works interrupted him at II o'clock,
and soon alter he departed. His
voice was broken and hoarse, and his
usual high-sounding platitudes were
missing. 1t was evident he has
seen and interpreted the handwriting
upon the wall and realizes that he is
doomed to defeat.
During the afternoon Mr.. Bell har-
angued a crowd of 500 or 400 from
the band stand in the public square,
and then the great day ended. Some
money was dropped into hotels. res.
t%aurants and saloons, the sweat-boS
was filled and that was all.

A WEEK or
Republicans, Sound Money Democrats
and Popocrats Crate.


The spellbinders have been among
the people of Berkeley during the past
week and the remainder Of the cam
paign will know no diminution on
the part Of Republicans and Sound
Money Democrats. We cannot vouch
for the Popocrats who are 50 fearfully
dcmoralized that there is no telling
what they may do. They fired their
big guns Wednesday aud-that was
all. The presumption is that they
will keep up a kind Of guerrilla cam
paign in the hope of pulling some Of
their county ticket through, but they
realize that they have not n chance
in a thousand. Republicans have
gone into the fight to win and pro-
pose to achieve a complete victory.
No better or stronger ticket was ever
presented and it is the intention to
elect every man on the ticket. We
make this statement now in order to
relieve the minds of our opponents.
Hon. A. G. Dayton closed his
weeks work with meetings at Jones
Spring and Mt. Carmel, Friday, and
Bunker Hill and Martinsburg, Satur-
day. All Of his meetings were first
class and that in this city vas especi-
ally good. Hon. George w. Bowers
presided over as fine and attentive an
audience as ever assembled in the
Opera House.
While Mr.. Dayton was weary from
the arduous labors of the week and
was really unwell in addition, his adj
dress was OF a character that could
not fail to draw the people to him.
He briefly outlined the work done by
the House of representatives show
ing conclusively that the failure to do
more must be laid at the door of the
Silver Senators and Democrats who
insisted upon attaching free coinage
of silver to nearly every bill SEN to
the Senate. One omission was his
failure to mention the work done by
him for his District in the matter Of
the large appropriation for the Mo-
nongahela River-more than the dis
4..zA -. Lre.a ,a1.,~nJ
He was followed by Hon. U. S. G..
Pitzer who responded to calls that
would not be quieted without a word
from him. He discussed the finan-
cial question, touched up Senator
Faulkner's record in great style, and
excused himself with the promise of
a speech before the close of the cam
paign.
