cages, as tall as a Democrat-and
| a very tall Democrat at that-telling
| all the world of the beneficial results
| of Republican rule And the farmers
of the whole country have prospered,
| for they get better prices for all their
produce"
While we are increasing cur exports
of farm produce abroad, the cost OF
nearly every manufactured article to
| the farmer is decreasing Nothing
could be more gratifying to the farmer"
| "As to the manufacturers, it is
equally gratifying. Mills are going all
over the country, and you can scarcely
hear of a business failure
'The South is fast becoming a pro-
! tective country, all along the Alleghen-
les to the Gulf, and six Southern Sena-
tors voted for protection to lumber
Protection is growing, and protec-
| ton is synonym for Republicanism. :"
The price of clothing never was as
cheap in these United States as it is
| tonight. We protected
wool, and the price Of clothing has
decreased, while up in my county sheep
that used to bring SLIGO and S1.2o now
| sell for $4.O0 and $500"
81 am something of farmer, and
used to like to go about my farm-but
l haven't seen it for a long time, be-
cause thee Democrats have got me
in a hurry, looking after protection"
"The railroads can't get cars to haul
the frei5nJ, and there is more railroads
building than since 1888.
"All Democratic prophecies nave
| been hi by cyclone of Republican 2nG
| Mckinley prosperity.
Democrats are abusing us because
we have a surplus in the treasury
| Why. a Democrat knows nothing about
a surplus; they generally have to deal
with the other thing. Wouldn't you
people like to have surplus; have both
your pockets bursting with surplus?
And yet the Wheeling Register says
surplus is bad thing
| Democrats ought not to be trusted
with government, because they only
had four years experience in thirty.
When you hire an agent you don't look
for an inexperienced man; you want
one with experience. Mr.. Cleveland
sold $260,000,C00 of bonds in his first
term, and this created debt in time
of profound peace
81 won't say Democrats are dishonest;
but l will say they don't know how to
properly administer the government. )"
| Democrats talk a great deal about
the money power, but every time they
get chance they help that very money
power, as they did when President
Cleveland sold his bonds"
we sold bonds to carry on war;
| the Democrats sold bonds to carry on
the government in time Of peace"
I'VE have added to the circulation
of this country 377,000,000 in twenty
| four months. MIR. Bryan said $4,000
| 600 added per year would be enough.
| We have done four times as well"
You can't argue in this campaign
with a Democrat, for if it is midday
and the sun shining, he will say it is
midnight"
There will be some Democratic
votes for Democratic candidates, this
/ year; I'm sure Of it,"
Il won't offend any Democrat
! don't want to offend them-I want their
| votes.'
! John K Cowan is now trying
| to borrow S75, 100000 in Europe and
! America to reorganize the B. &, o. road.
! He knows it will fall to the ground if
the people elect a Democratic House,
and not only will that fail, but hum
dreds of other and smaller enterprises
will also fail"
1--WE are gravitating towards free
| trade as fast as it is healthy to go.
bai
number OF articles free; that is MAX
ing progress, isn't it? And we Repub-
licans claim that free trade can only
come through the door Of protection,
| and it will come when we can produce
| cheaper than any other nation"
THE case is with us, and there
should be no change. A change now
| is to exchange sunshine for darkness,
and prosperity for hard times. But
| there is a greater reason why there
, should be no change, and that is, we
should not take OUT Of the hands Of
President Mckinley the settlement Of
the complex questions growing out of
the war with Spain"
THE Republican administration of
| the State government has been an
able one. 1t has a surplus, and that
Worries the democrats. some one mas
| said that if the Republicans could only
| control this State for ten years they
would be paying a dividend to every
( citizen of the State, and l hope the
| Democrats will let US do it,
| you had better have Dovener in
/ Congress, absent three-quarters of the
| time, than a Democrat there all the
| time to vote against your interests
"As Ohio county goes, 50 goes the
! State, and the issue and its results is
! in your hands. See to 1t that there is
| a Republican Legislature and SO bring
! about the election of another United
! States Senator, so there can be two of
| US TO visit you. next time
/ 1--WE Republicans are the best friends
| of silver-we have coined 100000, 900
| of it."
| Mr. Blair says that as there were
| mistakes in the war therefore we must
/ put Democrats in instead Of Republi-
! cans. have free silver instead of gold
| and hard times INSTEAD of prosperity
| Now. my friends, ii does not follow at
all. If there have been mistakes, they
! will be corrected"
/ Senator Elkins was followed briefly
