I am told that in this county there were
fought more battles than in any county
of like size in the world; that upon the
earth within the limits OF the county
there fell more dead and wounded than
ever fell on a similar space in all the MS
tory of the world. Here opposing lines
were drawn up face 10 face; here oppos-
ing armies met and stared at each other
and then sought to take each others Ives'
but all those scenes have passed away
and those who met in deadly array now
meet and commingle here as friends. Gap
plauseO Here the ploughshaTe has been
rnade ont of the sword and spears have
been converted into pruning hooks, and
people learn war no more. Here the
hands on either side stirred up the tagging
zeal with notes that thrill the hearts OF
men. Those two bands are now compo-
nent parts Of one great band. and as that
band in the lead plays Yankee Doodle
and Dixie" applause behind II toliows

1 am glad to visit this historic place.
Here George Washington once came
and threw silver dollar across the
river. but remember my friends, thab
when he threw that dollar across the
river il lit, II fell, and remained on
American soil (Applause). Ihey
thought that il was q great feat then
but we have developed so rapidly III
the last hundred years that we have
financiers now who can leave George
Washlngton's achievement far behind.
We have fnanciers who have been able
20 throw gold dollars all The way across
the Atlantic and then bring them back
by an issue of bonds. Great applause).
Would you believe II, my friends, That
silver dollar which was good enough 10
be handled by the father Of his country,
is now so mean a thing as to excite the
contempt OF many Of cur so-called
fnanciers? ono, no.. Well 1t IS. Il
is SO mean that they don't like It. Why
our opponents tell us that they want
a dollar that will go all over the world.
We have had dollars which have gone
over the world so rapidly that we want
a dollar that will stay at nome without
a curfew law (Applause).
Our opponents tell us that they want
a dollar which they can see anywhere in
the world If they travel abroad. I am not
so much worried about our dollars which
travel abroad. want dollar that won't
be ashamed to look a farmer In the face.
Great appleuse.) People can have just
as good a dollar as they want because dol
lars are creatures of law and you can de-
termine the purchasing power Of a dollar
when you determine the number Of dol
lars. II you want them dear. make them
scarce and they will be dear. II our dol
lars are not good enough now when
dollar will buy ten bushels OF oats. you
can make it good enough; so good it will
buy 100 bushels Of oats. a voice: We
don't want that kind OF n dollar.'O
If anybody here has been raising farm
products and complaining because they
are not cheap enough. you can make them
cheaper If you vote the Republican ticket
this fall.
