insult to German Voters.

The Bryapites have done much talk
ing, in this campaign about swinging
the German vote over to, Bryan. 1t
they believe the German born Ameri-
cans can be transferred solidls froin
one party to another at the will of par
ty leaders. 1t is believed that German.
Americans will resent as an ineslt this
attempt of the Democratic leaders to
stampede them en- masse. like flock
of sheep. by cries Of imperialism and
''militarism." On this subject Senator
Scott of West Virginia has made the
following statement: s1 fa
AT the beginning Mr., Bryan's para
mount issue at Indianapolis was level-l
ed at the COMMUNICATIONS and was
designed to bring them all down at one
shot. Then Mr.. SchurZ is brought for
ward, or brings himself forward, with
The assumption of delivering over the
German-American vote, bodily to Bry-
an. And all, over the countryr-in Ma
ryland. in. New York, in Wisconsin. in
Indiana-the Democratic managers
have been taking the same ground,
that the German can be
made 10 vote all the same way. as
some one man or some group of men
may. desire. ....... ft !,
There never was a greater mistake.
No class of our citizens is more intelli-
gent and more Independent than the
German AmeTicans. Each one of them
thinks for himself decides for himself
and votes for himself They are cool
headed, judicial minded, very practical
people, not swayed by sudden whims
or frenzies, not affected by artificial
claptrap and, above all, not to be led
by the nose at the will of any political
clique or organization. They have
thought out this question of militarism
long ago They came to this country
largely on that account. and they have
got brains enough to see that the situa-
ton has not changed at all and that as
tosimperialism there is simply nothing
in it. They will vote as independent
individuals. and when they vote they
viii not be likely to forget the insults
which they have received in this cam
paign from the Democratic leaders in
trying to round them up like herd
of cattle. l know what | am talking
about, for l have been in close touch
with the COMMUNICATIONS politically
and personally ever since l came out
of the army 30 years ago, and | know
that above all they are clear headed
and correct IN their financial principles,
as they have always been true to sound
money from the earliest times"

HEWITT ON THE ISSUE.

Question Before the People


Ex-sI9yor and eX-C Congressman Abram
$. Hewitt 81 New York in recent let
ter has delned the question at issue
most admirably /Air- Hewitt is one Of
the leading Gold Democrats on the
country, and no mans cpinion carries
more weight tE@a his lie says:
you ask whether / believe in the
coinage Of silver at the ratio Of is to 1.
You might as wen ask me whether /
believed that am ounce should be made
to pass for a pound In the ordinary
transactions Of commerce. The ratio
Is false ratio. The value OF silver
measured by gold is, as every one
knows. not 10 to /, but - to J. The
proposition Of the platform, therefore,
is to declare that 80 cents shall by law
be made equal to 81 This absurd
proposition is based upon the professed
belief that in 1873. when silver was de-
monetized. a crime was committed by
which creditors benefited at the ex-
pense of debtors The fact is that sill
vel. was then overvalued and hence it's
decentralization was a relief to debtors
and of 10 benefit to creditors.
"The extraordinary thing is that the
Kansas City platform proposes to com
NIT the very crime which 1t falsely de-
nUnces as having been perpetrated in
1878. 1t proposes to substitute Il 30
cent dollar in payment of debts which
ought to be discharged with 100 cents
to the dollar. This is robbery and
therefore a crime in which no honest
man can have any part.i The pretense
that the bullion value Of silver could
be raised TO its coinage value by the
fiat of the government is Ridiculous
In fact, we havet tried the experiment
by purchasing more than $600.00QOOO.
worth of silver in order to preserve the
parity between silver and gold at the
ratio of 16 to J.. We have seen the
price Of silver steadily fan in the face
of these large purchases The United
States strained its ability TO the last
thread of tension in this effort. Uni
versal distress existed, and we. we're
only 4relved from general bankruptcy
by the repeal of the Sherman act ToI
repeat this experiment in time when
business Is good is an act of folly so
glarng that it is difficult for "a sane
man to understand that the proposition
could have received single vote IN
the convention"
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1900-10-20

Mr.. II. Myers of New Orleans in a
letter TO Republican headquarters
makes the following suggestion:
Reading Of Mr.. Bryan's contention
in his canvass that there should be no
government without the consent of the
governed, it Is obvious that the south
ern states when they seeded in 1861
should have been granted their indie
pendence, according to Mr.. Bryan's ar
gument.
1T occurs to me that if Mr., Bryan is
elected president and amy of the states
desire their independence from the
United States government he will be
obliged, according to his argument To
grant such independence and thereby
threaten to destroy the integrity of our
nation and probably cause another
civil war"

why Change

Labor has been well rewarded under
the present Republican administration.
Everybody is able to earn good liv-
ing. Why invite commercial distress,
general panic and hard times by inau-
gurating another experimental change
such as we had in 1884? No work,
no wages or very low wages, bread
riots, souphouses and great general
suffering win be brought on by every
vote cast for the Bryan. Croker, Ne
'braska free silver and New York ice
trust combine. IF you don't believe in
law and order audit supreme court
or what they style government by in
Junction to restrain the laVless and
protect life and property, but iwaptf AN
archy. robbery and panic, elect 1.-THE
Democratic candidate, William Jen-
nings Bryan to ruin you and your
country and make us the laughing
stock of all the other countries of the
earth. f
Can YOU seriously invite such condi-
lions as these wild theorists and would
be experimenters in government pur-
pose?
