dac!ng the speaker OF the evening. Hon.
3. B. Dovcner. congressman from the
Captain Doyener sprakS.
The applause and cheers which greet
ed the captain amounted to an ovation
and II was some time before he could
begin his remarks. He began by apol-
oGtzins for the condition OF his voice,
which was hoarse. 1t grew better as he
proceeded, however, and he made one
OF the best speeches heard in Wheeling
this campaign. he told OF his trip
through his own district and those OF
Nessrs. Dayton and Dorr. and said that
al! the indications point 10 grand Re-
publican victory next Tuesday. The

Thursday evening, he said the patty on
this side OF the river must be in I pref
~ bad condition when they bring such
a package OF 'all-Sor;s' from, neigh
boring state.
The speaker took up the Crime of
1873" and spoke in a mos. entertain
ing manner concerning H. He read
from the bill passed by Congress In
that year and conclusiveiy proved that
no crime had been committed. He
spoke OF the amount OF silver dollars
coined before the passage OF the al
legged decentralization act. AMI showed
the immense increase OK coinage since.
that time. He also called attention to
the amount OF silver being coined even
at the present time and every day
since the act Of 1873 He defined the
meaning Of the word decentralization.
and demonstrated clearly that such Il
thing as decentralization was not
thought OF In the act OF 70
He answered the claim OF the Popo-
cratic orators that II the government;
places It's stamp on anything, Il will
be good for Its face value, by ,produc-
Ing trade dollar and said the stamp
OF the United States was on 1t and /;
Contains seen grains more OF silver
than the dollar OF to-day and asked
why Il Is that the trade dollar Is worth
only ffty-thrcc cents to-day. II f. be-
cause it was coined free for trade pur-
poses.
Dishonest Srhrmr.
Suppose We. have thcsr kinds OF dol
lars, and have man working for
me. and I owe him s. :or labor. ray
day comes around and | give 10 him
five trade dollars: they arc worth about
atty-three cents. he takes them to the
store and can only buy llfty-tlrrcc
cents worth of goods for each one OF
them. He is the loser, and as his en-
ployer, am the gamer Thus you can
readily sec how the man who has only
his labor 10 sell, Is the l04er 1t Is not
che capitalist or the merchant, who
loses 1t all by free silver. but the labor
Ing man, the man ThO works for Nv

legal tender for only s., but the Popo-
cratic party wants to give You a silver
dollar Worth but Nfty cents. to-day
worth forty-seVcn ccntS,+ whose tender
Is unlimited Cand must, he received by
the laborcr In full for the services h,
renders. Do you think II Is square, do
you think 1t is honest? (Crics OF no,
no')
The present dollar. the standard
dollar Of the UuIted States IS worth
one hundred cents. Why? Because 1t Is
backed by the government, and that
government has placed hack OF it n
gold standard which !nsurcs every
holder OF that coin that It shall have
the purchasing power Of one hundred
cents In gold. The PopOcratic leaders
and the Popocratlc press have crdGay-
oreh 10 convey 10 the minds of y0lerg,

wn would have nothing but gold mo-
ney, and they have even gone 40 FAR
az to argue With the farmers that thcrn
Is not enough OF gold to 70 around and
consequently they could rot pay their
debts and would have to SCH their
farms This but shows how desperate
thty are. and shows their greed for
Office. which they could not gain In n
fair and square campaign.
THE Republican party stands for the
existing standard. the money OF the

tho Republican party to take from you
the silver and paper money. but It Is M
intention to keep, on issuing more and
more OF 1t, ~ the population increases
and As the demand FOR money becomes
greater.
