tho proper attention to the paper.
A reduction of taxes will follow
the defeat of the Republicans in
this county.
If the Republicans will only
keep up their campaign of vituper-
alton, Mr.. Bryan's calling and cleo
ton will be made doubly sure.
Free coinage of silver does not
mean business disturbance. 1t
means an end of the present bust
ness depression.
If the Democrats and silver mon
do their duty, the gold-bug Re-
publicans will be wiped out in this
county.
The value of money in any COM
munity is determined by the
amount existing. So it is with the
whole country.
Half the people in this country
are controlled by intimidation.
People dare not act independently
for fear of having their "heads cut
off"
1t is understood that all who
want to go to the British Conven-
ton at Indianapolis can have free
railroad transportation for the ask
ing.
1t may be of interest to
mention that the names of
ten, or nearly one-half, of the
Presidents of the United States
ended with the letter "n."
1t takes twice as many bushels
of wheat and twice as many bush
els of corn to pay the farmers taxes
under the single gold standard as
it did under the double gold and
silver standard.
President Bryan, SO the Adver-
tiser says, will speak in Hunting
ton September 18th. This will be
a good opportunity for Mason
county people to see and hear the
great orator and next President of
the United States.
The gold-bugs are not exactly
satisfied with McKinley's letter.
They are hard set to please. He
is as much for gold as they are,
and that is why the farmers and
the workingmen are supporting
Bryan.
Hon. Jas. B. Menager will speak
at Pomeroy, Ohio, on Saturday,
September 18th, instead of next
Wednesday, as stated in the Daily
Register of Monday. By invita-
ton of the Hinton Silver Club, he
speaks at the Hinton Opera House
next Thursday night.
While other produce is going
dow votes are going up. The price
is likely to be an average of SIG to
i vote. Whiskey and cigars won't
purchase the raw material this year.
It will take gold and lots of it. The
supply is not equal to the demand.
Shell out, gold bugs.
The changes that are being made
from the Republican party to the
cause of Bryan and free silver, in
this county are wonderful. The
people are reading and thinking
for themselves. This is not fight
for political supremacy but for
home and country.
A drummer in town last night,
from Cleveland, Ohio, offered to
bet one hundred dollars even that
Mckinley would not get the cleo
toral vote of Ohio-his own State.
Although number of Republi-
cans were around, none of them
had the nerve to take the bet. This
is a straw.
If all reports are true, or half way
true, the Democrats and silverites
in this county will roll up a major
ity in this county, in November
that will sweep the Republican
Ring from power. The people are
terribly in earnest this year, and
there will be surprises for the Re
publicans from every precinct in
the county.
1t may have been a mighty good
thing in 1878 making gold the sole
standard of value-for those that it
benefited. So now it is mighty
good plan restoring both gold and
silver as the standards of value
for those that it will benefit-and
