The Farmers Noes.

Mr. Bryan has, in many OF his speeches
this year, Commiserated the sad lot of the
American farmer, whom he imagines to
be ground down under the iron heels of
unnumbered trusts, and getting poorer
each dav. The record of cancelled mort
cages, of heavy purchases of comforts
and Injuries, and of largely increased de-
posts in banks in farming communities,
answer the latter portion of his wall.
The farmers are prosperous. If one is
not, then it is his own faul:-his own
lack of sagacity and business enterprise.
AS to the first portion of Mr. Brvan's
charge, here are some facts that the Ne
braska gentleman dare not attempt to
answer or discuss:
1t now only takes "A bushels of corn
to buy chilled steel plow (trust made)
which it took bushels to buy in 1896.
He can buy a wagon for III bushels
of corn now while the same wagon cost
334 bushels in 1896
One pound of wool will buy four and a
half yards of calico now. Four years
ago it would buy only two and half
yards.
A suit of clothes that it took 100
pounds of wool to buy in 1896 can now
be bought for S. pounds.
A bushel of wheat now buys IS yards
of bingham, while in 1896 it bought but
10 yards
Three bushels of corn now buys as
much muslin as twelve bushels would
| buy four years ago.
| A self-binder required $50 bushels of
corn to purchase in 1896, while it now
costs but 500 bushels.
There IS the same purchasing power
now in 90 bushels of corn there was in
I55 bushels in 1896. Now 100 bushels Of
oa's will buy. as much as $50 bushels
then; and for II3 pounds of wool the
! farm can buy as much as cost him 227
pounds under Cleveland and free trade.
A sheep that bought 50 pounds Of wire
nails IN 1896 will buy loo pounds now
A pig that would buy IA pounds of
coffee four years ago will bring 40 pounds
now
A calf that purchased 222 pounds of
barbed wire in 1896 will bring AS pounds
now.
This series of facts and comparisons
could be extended indefinitely. The
farmers are NOT worrying about the inn
aginary evils Mr., BRYAN says they are
enduring. They take no stock in him nor
in his prophecies of calamity, and will
vote for Mckinley and prosperity instead

silver and hard times

SENIOR BRYAN'S FRIEND.

Sergeant Willard Leroy Diuman was
killed near Coliva, Panay Philippine
Islands, August 81. Four days prior. he
wrote letter to his father, William [.
Ditman, of Oxford, Ohio.
In his letter Sergeant Ditman. after de-
scribing the pursuit by his detachment of
the Sixth United States Infantry Of Cen
eral Zohnos raiders, adds:
In Malino we saw displayed a large
Poster,of which make copy in the hope
that II might prove warning to some of
our friends at home. 1t reads:
The Americans are on the verge of
giving up They are now engaged in
war with China and Turkey. and they
have lost three regiments IN China bv
total annlhllation. Their best and only
battleship is now floating on the rocks on
tue coast OF China, every map on board
having been lost.
"senor Colonel Bryan has notified his
generaiship, Senior AguinaIdo, that In
ninety days he VIII be president of the
United states, and he will Immediately
Acknowledge our nag and independence
and withdraw the troops.
The present administration is COM
posed OF scoundrels, and the new COM
mission is made up of the same class of
men. Their purpose is to come over here
and try by the last and only means TO
cheat our country out Of its rights.
We ask that all Filipinos cling TO-
gether, as one man,and by the end Of the
year, we will be rewarded with our
liberty"

HOLT VS.. JEFFERSON.

The reply the Herald has to make to the
speech delivered by Hon. John II. Holt.
Democratic candidate for Governor,
Tuesday evening, is a clipping from the
Utica IN. W Patriot, of August I. 1903,
relative to the Louisiana Purchase. by
Thomas Jefferson. Note the similarity of
the arguments:
We pay for the purchase, upward of
81 5000, ooo-that is, So for every man. wo-
man and child in the United States. And
why should our rulers be grinding the face
OF the poor IN purchasing land which they
nor their children, nor their chldrens
children,to the latest generation, will ever,
IN all probability, see cultivated.
we pay tor the purchase, $4,000, 900,
Whlcn IS more than all the gold and silver
com IN the United States in bank and out
OF bank put together and it is reasonable
to suppose that the greater part of our
specie will go to France in payment.
We are to give money, of which we
have too little, for land of which we al
ready have too much. We expose our
want OF spirit and aggravate our want of
strength.
There ought to be some balance in the
Union; as before limited, this unexploredi
empire, OF the size of four CT five Europe
an kingdoms, will destroy that-wll drain
our people away from the pursuit of a
better husbandry and from manufactures
and commerce.
Can an empire so unwieldly, SO nearly
uncivized, that will for century or two
require such heavy charge and contribute,
so little toward defraying any part of it,
will it be, can it be subject to one gov
eminent? And if it would, will that gov
eminent be republican, Does it not
threaten to sever, and if not to sever 10,
subjugate 10 the Union9
And in addition, the opinion OF Andrew
Jackson, he noblest Democrat of them
all, in reference to the acquisition of Flor
ida
On this subject | have thought with
the ancient Roman, that it was right
never to cede any land or boundary of the
republic, but always to add to it by hon.
orable treaty, thus extending the area of
freedom.
MIR. Holt and Mr.. Bryan may think they
are better Democrats than "Od Hickory"
bu. we do not believe they are.
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1900-11-03

This IS an imperial ration.
It is imperial be ause it is the granary
Of the world and feeds the nations.
It is imperial because its wool and cot
ton cIothe the world.
1t is imperial because our manufactures
are now carried to earth's remotest
bounds.
1t is imperial because our oil lights the
world and Our coal supplies il with fuel.
1t is imperial because it has more miles
of railroad and telegraph and telephone
than all the world beside
1t is imperial because it pays labor
the highest wages and because its arti-
sans are the best.
II is imperial because its men are the
bravest and brainiest and because its
women are the most intelligent. vrtuous
and beautiful.
1t is imperial because its citizens are
the freest; because "Od Glory" floats over
a and that knows no North, no South, no
East. no West; because sectionalism is
dead; because education is universal; be-
cause there is freedom of speech and of
the press; because liberty and Christian
ity are enthroned in the hearts Of the peo-
pie.

A WORD TO BERKELEY COUNT
REPUBLICANS.

The political issue is made up and
Tuesday will decide whether Berkeley
County will line up With the live progress
sive counties Of the State or whether it
will relegate itself to the domain Of Bour-
bonism.
William Mckinley will be his own sue
cessor.
West Virginia will remain in the Re
publican column.
The Legislature will be Republican
and Senator Elkins will be reelected.
All four Of the Republican candidates
for Congress will be elected.
Berkeley County owes it to herself to
join the procession. A considerable ma
jority of our citizens are Republicans and
should win handsome victory.
Republican management of county af-
fairs during the past eight years has been
superior to any heretofore.
The Republican ticket is in every Partic-
uar the equal and in some respects ST.
perior to the Democratic ticket. You
knowsall the men on both tickets. Look
up their records and see if you do not
agree with us.
The above being true why should any
Republican scratch his ticket No one
can assign good reason for doing so.
Every man who announces his candi-
dacy and goes into a convention, in all
fairness, whether he SO expresses himself
or not, is IN honor bound 10 support the
ticket nominated. To do less IS TO pro-
m ote party anarchy.
Republicans of Berkeley County, line
up. You want to be on the band wagon.
You know that your interests and the IN
terests of this section are safest IN Re-
publican hands. You want to keep in touch
with the strong Republican counties OF
the western portion of the State and this
Congressional district. 1t is good policy
and good politics. You remember how
in 1892. Berkeley County was the one
bright spot on the political horizon of the
St tie. You remember the magnificent
victories of 1894 and 1906 You know
how we rejoiced and shouted for joy
how proud we were. You remember the
reverse of two years ago-how the de-
feat of u. S G. Pitzer came near defeat
ing Senator Scott.
You know how the enemy rejolced.
This time we must not take any chances.
Every man wants to get into his fighting
harness, roll up his sleeves and get to work
for Mckinley, Prosperity and the whole
ticket, and roll up a majority that will
puverize the opposition.
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1900-11-03

The changes which have occurred since
the Inauguration of William Mckinley
are beyond human comprehension
The United States, like a giant reused
from his slumbers, has become world
power, honored and respected by all.
Our national debt is being rapidly re-
duced, and that which is outstanding is
being refunded at two per cent, a lower
rate than is obtained anywhere else on the
earth.
The balance of trade in our favor aver
ages five hundred millions of dollars a
year.
Foreign powers are placing loans with
our people, and New York, not London,
will soon be the financial centre of the
globe
Our diplomacy is the admiration of
/ civilization, and when the representatives
of the nations and the missionaries OF
Christianity were besieged by the yellow
Terror in Pekin, America not only OBJ
tanned the first tidings from them, but led
the expedition which saved them from a
horrible death.
The islands of the sea have been res
cued from Spanish misrue and tyranny
and the sun never sets upon our posses.

Imperialism and Militarism are charg-

The political liar is abroad in the land.
1t IS safe to tell him that he is liar.
The attest lies are about eX-President
Ceve and and Senator Scott. To the
shame Of John H, Holt, be it said, he re-
terated the lie about Senator Scott when
he knew better. 1t was an exceeding small
thing Tor a candidate for Governor to dc,
but drowning men catch at straws.
