CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE
or the Truth of the Oner Made by the Cen
trail City stove Company


trail city stove Company.
Central City Stove Company,
Newark, O., October IA, 1896.
j. w. Ferrel, Esq.
Dear Sir:-Replying to your favor Of
recent date, making inquiry about the
promised increase in wages Of the Cen
trail City Stove COmpany's employees in
case William J. Bryan is elected Presi-
dent. l desire, in the first place, to as
sure you that the published report is
true. In the second place, TO ask your
pardon for sending you this circular
letter instead Of a personal reply. The
almost countless number CT communi-
cations. similar to yours, that ! have re-
ceived from fifteen different States
makes a personal reply impracticable,
as it would take my entire time between
now and election day TO dictate separate
answers. However, think the follow
ing Will answer your questions:
Il have always been a Republican,
and have voted twice for Major Nc
Kinley.
There are twenty molders IN our
foundry who have always voted the Re
publican ticket. This year we are all
for Bryan and the restoration Of silver.
Our reason for Offering TO increase
wages in case Bryan wins is that we
know that the success CT our business
depends upon the prosperity OF America,
and that the prosperity Of America will
only be brought about by the restoration
of the silver dollar. Prior to 1873 the
iron mOlders OF the country received
from so TO 60 cents on board This
means for every dollar earned they re-
ceiyed from 80 to 60 cents additional.
With The characterization of silver came
a fall in wages up to 1879, when molders
received % cents of board, or 70 cents
for every dollar earned.
The Bland-AIlisOn act so stimulated
business in the West that greater de-
mand for mOiders prOduct-in fact, for
all manufactured prOducts-was made.
Business increased and wages went up
The Sherman purchasing act had a SINH
lar effect, but its repeal brought stagua-
ton to the West, and as a result many
orders for manufactured goods were
cOuntermanded. The Central City
Stove Works felt the effects Of the repeal
VI tl4lS ID W. anu huUW WutLCOL SPEAK.
A higher tariff law that we now have
VIII not. in my opinion, restore prosper
ity, but will result in breeding trusts.
The present tariff law, l believe, is suf-
ficienly high TO protect all manufactur-
ers in this country, and the only thing
yet needed to restore activity to business
is the free coinage of both gold and sill
yer.
The Central City Stove Company,
whose capacity is forty TO fifty stoves a
day, offers TO advance its mems wages
because under free coinage increased
business and increased prosperity WIZ
enable us TO do so. We pay union wages
and all our stoves bear union labels.
Mr.. Mckinley says to open the mills
and close the minis but I believe by
opening the minis, the mills VIII open
themselves.
Thanking YOU for your interes, in
the matter, am
Very truly yours,
&C. W. CUNNINGHAM,
president Central City Stove Co."

Minor Matters of Interest Briefly and Pith

Before Justice Ankle, yesterday,
the case of Annie Boyd, charged with
profane swearing last Sunday and with
cOntending with angry words last
Tuesday was continued until two
O'Clock Monday.

speeches. There we're calls for Mr..
Russell. and he came forward
Mr.. Russell said be had made but one
political speech in ais life, but his ten
miutes address was a very creditable Ell
fort He credited all Americans with
patriotism, and proceeded 10 say that
while he could not support the terrible
mistakes of the Bryan convention, he
could not endorse the less terrible mig
takes Of the Mckinley convention;
therefore. ne would vote for Palmer.
His speech was mainly devoted TO JUS
LITIGATION of his position.
Gen. Alfred Caldwell was then called
for and talked for a few minutes, relat-
ing one or two anecdotes in MS charac-
teristic happy manner. He got a good
showing of applause when he predicted
the election OF Mckinley.
Hon. J. B. Sommerville also spoke brief
". He characterized the Bryan tinan-
ciaI experiment as absolutely new TO
Democracy. and argued that if the gold
standard is good for England and other
countries, it should be good for this coun-
try also Bryan proposes more money,
but the per capita wealth IS greater To-
day than before 1873. The present de-
preston is due to fright, the fear OF
Bryan's election. Mr.. SOmmeryiAa
spoke Of Bryan's speeches as "sonorous
and empty declarations. and referred
TO him as the false prophet Of finance,
the 81 Mahdi of the campaign Of 1896, -
and Statesman without a job"
Mr. Ran Stalnaker was called for, and
told one or TWO stories. The meeting
closed at 3:45 o'clock.
