Charlton Robinson presided at the

peaker. John Hum, the nominee for

said that the cOlored men present were
If the party of Lincoln, and it was the
iuty of everyone present to vote the
whole Republican ticket and reclaim
he state from the Democrats. Mr..
dunn said he was not present to make
votes for John HUM, but for the whole
Republican party.
Charles w. Anderson followed Mr.
Hum, and said that he would have
known that he was at a Republican
meeting had he only heard the band
play, because only at Republican gath
arings are patriotic tunes played. Mr.
Anderson said that he was from the
great, large State Of New York, and
had come to the big. little State OF
Delaware to say something about the
POpOcrats, because he could not say
Democrats. He said that he was pres
snt to tell Of the great military man,
Mckinley, for president and another
great warrior, Roosevelt.
About Bryan, Mr. Anderson said
he rather admired him. He has admir-
lbly succeeded in keeping himself be-
tore the people for four long years.
Bryan he said, sis no longer poor;
ne has suddenly become rich. He has
zone about the country talking, and has
charged admission fees for his lectures
In the face of what Bryan said four
years ago this country now has 81 500.
100000 more exports than imports. In
stead of having to borrow from other
countries, we have loaned money to
other countries-SSO, 100000 to England
md S25,000000 to Germany.
"A large percentage Of working peo-
pie now are employed, and the small
est percentage Of people unemployed
and the largest rate Of wages is being
paid to our workingmen. In the face
Of all this, any man who will vote for
Bryan is a candidate for hunger
THE Bureau of Statistics in this
country shows that high wages are be-
ing paid, and wages have a higher pur-
chasing power than ever before We
have added $500 O00. 900 in savings bank
deposits and 100000 new deposltors
This is because we adopted the great
policy Of protection. Then we insisted
on a sound, stable currency The mer-
chant sells his wares for a certain
price, and If he cannot get it one day
ne saves it until another All you have
to sell is your labor. You cannot save
it, you cannot put it in a bank. You
have got to turn it into something
which you can save and use. and thaI
is money. This being 50. you ought
to have a dollar which IS worth a.
much when you spend it as it is whon
you earn 1t. II you have a flfty-ceni
dollar and hundred cent
dollar you would pay the man you
owed in the fifty-cent dollar. There
fore, the poor dollar would circulate
and the good dollar would be saved"
Mr.. Anderson referred to Bryan
New York speech. in which he dis
claimed that this country was prosper.
