The Penn's Grove record., 1896-10-30
Mortimer Whitehead.

Past Lecturer of The National Grange,
a Lincoln Republican and is yet, an old
soldier and a farmer spoke at Salem on
Monday night, at Elmer Tuesday after
noon and WOodstown that evening aud
shook the county from centre TO cir
conference. He showed the fallacy OF
over production when people are starv.
Ing and rot properly clothed. You
may make a tariff sky high, and open
The mills, you may have free trade aud
flood the country with goods but the
farmers and laborers with no money
IAN not buy. Republicans brag of the
increased wealth but don't tell that in
1860 the farmers owned 50 out of So; in
1880 only 81 out of 81 and in 1890 only
81 out Of $4.
Cleveland is blamed for issuing bonds,
III time Of peace but they don't tell you
the Republicans issued 81, 200, coo, 0U0
after the Wal was over and burned up
that much money, They could not get
a law to burn the remainder SO Cleve-
land issued bonds and locked up $780,
100000. That contracted the currency
half, reduced prices half. Then they
demOnetized silver, cut the money in
half again and also prices. You never
heard of a SOC dollar until a Republican
Congress made it by demonetizing sill
YER. If you must have 81 worth Of sill.
yer in a dollar, why not a 81 worth of
paper in the paper dollar, sc worth Of
nickel III a &c piece or &c worth of paper
in a postage stamp. 1t is the stamp of
the Government that makes money and
creates value. Shame on such q cry by
Republicans after their Congress made
it,
Ii Congress should pass a law that no
person should put a bride over a mules
head would not mules be cheap and
horses dear. So with silver. The rea-
soll horses are so cheap is not because
of bicycles and electric cars but because
there are so many ~jackasses at WASH
ingtGn.
1900 families now own 80 of the U.
S. 200 families rich as the Vanderbilts
would own all the U. s. There was
only one millionaire In 1860, now there
are 1000. 100000 idle workmen now.
Tramps were unknown before the war.
Tenants increased 3 times as fast be-
tween 1880 and 1890 as before, More
own homes in little France than in the
U. S. where they have $50 per capita.
Between 1880 and 1890 the mortgages
increased 0 millions. New York lost
half its value IN ten years.
When John Sherman bowls gold, lots
of little Republicans bowls gold, gold.
When Cleveland h0wls gold, lots of lit.
tie Democrats howl gold gold, ard at
the same time the gold standard is rob-
bling them of their homes.
He shonldered a musket in defense OF
the Union. The bankers refused to
give or loan Lincoln their gold and sill
yer. They are now patriots. He is
called an anarchist. He was delegate
to the silver convention which n0mi-
mated Bryan. Two-thirds we're Repub.
licans and one.third old soldiers and
Billy Bryan will get more soldier votes
than Mckinley, as they detest a coward.
Lincoln spoke of the rich stores of
silver in Il mountains with which to
pay the wal debt, yet a Republican
Congress destroyed its use as money,
real primary money SO the debt could
not be paid off.
He said never were the corporations
coercing the working men as this year.
He had seen lots of Byran men wearing
Mckinley buttons and seen men who
had been discharged who told on a
straw vote they would vote for Bryan.
A Moses was at band to lead the people
out of bondage and like the Israelites
they will take the gold and silver of the
Pharoahs, the oppressors, and then vote
for Bryan, liberty and freedom.
He has stumped the Country the last
four months frGm Oregon to New York
and has no doubt of Bryan carrying
Illinois and being elected.
