TO OUR PATRONS.

Our patrons and the readers of the
SPECTATOR will notice that the paper
on which it is printed is not the quail
ty which we gave them some time ago.
Nobody regrets this more than our
selves. But the Paper Trust has about
doubled the price of the paper we were
using and we just could not afford to
use it at the price we charge you for
the SPECTATOR. In addition to the
ubiquitous newspaper trust the railroad
has nearly doubled freight rates on us.
Only a little while ago we paid II cents
per hundred on paper from Richmond
to Staunton. On the last lot the c. &
o. Ry. charged us 80 cents per hun
dred. If the people will assert them
selves and demand fair treatment from
these monopolies, We will be only too
glad to send the SPECTATOR to them
upon the same neat, beautiful class of
paper we once did. But until this
trust and corporation robbery ceases,
the people must suffer. This is but one
of the hundreds of thousands of object
lessons by which the people should
profit. They have heretofore been
either too blind or too indolent to fully
comprehend it. We hope they are
gathering wisdom with age. We will,
however, try to give you just as good
reading matter as ever.

m oney now and promise or 4per cent
on it. But they give nothing in the
way of security save their individual
promise. They take your money on
deposit without interest and give no
other security than that. A bank with
500, 900 stock may have two millions on
deposit. Where is there then any guar
antee that you will get your money
back? Probably no sensible man ever
deposited money in bank because OF
the laws. He did it simply because OF
the confidence he had in the integrity
of the persons operating the bank.
Any bank can be robbed, looted, as we
say. What Mr.. Bryan and the Demo
cratic party contend for is that fund
be created by the banks to pay those
depositors who lose by banks which
fail in business. The idea is growing
in strength, and against it there is NO
logical argument.
Lastly. In the South there is an is
sue we need not mention. 1t began in
Reconstruction days, if not before, and
is ever present. Every Southern man
knows what it is, and every true
Southern man will respect his obliga-
ton to his people We need not speak
palmer.

A FIST FIGHT.

A man named Smith and U. s. SEN
ator Scott of West Virginia, had fist
fight in Wheeling on Monday last.
The trouble rose out of rolitics. Mr..
Scott is a Swisher adherent, whilst
Mr.. Smith is Scherr man. The lie
passed, and it is said 36 blows also
passed, six of which were delivered by
the Senator and thirty of which were
delivered to the Senator The result
was that the smoothe and calmly fea-
lures of the Hon. Mr.. Scott were much
disfgured. Politics must be warming
up when United States Senators get
into fisticuffs over troubles in which
the Democrats do not figure, but grow
out of factional fights between mem.
bers of the same party. 1t certainly
looks like Democratic year in that
| Commonwealth.

Instead of the Republican part,

Instead of the Republican party
gaining in strength in Virginia it is
losing daily. Men who never support
ed Mr.. Bryan in any previous election
are going to vote for him, and not only
vote, but work with enthusiasm. This
is seen in Staunton as plainly as any
where. Voters here admit that they
did not realize his intellectual strength
in 1896, that whilst he is the same man
he was then, he has broadened and
mellowed, to use their phrase. They
say that he has made speeches since
this campaign began which have as
tonished his enemies more than his
friends; that they are full of meat, full
of ideas and craftsmanship. Whilst
on the other hand Mr.. Taft has said
nothing worthy of interest or to be re-
membered. Taft's inroad on Virginia
consists of riding to Hot Springs in a
Pullman car and out again.

put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-

stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Sci

The Republicans declare that they
are going to revise the tariff, but ii
must be done only after the most care
full study of the subject, and full en-
quiry into all the details, especially
those portions which will most likely
affect the workingman. They have
been studying the tariff for 40 years. 1t
will be 40 years more if left to them
before they have fully enquired into
all of the details, and 40 years more if
left to them before bill is presented
in Congress which will, if passed, lift
any of the tariff burdens, and many
more than 40 years before such bill is
passed. That is how they are going to
revise the tariff.

st. Paul, Aug. 31.-The feature Of the
day was an address by Mr.. Bryan at
the state fair grounds, his theme being
governmental extravaganza. T h e
weather had cleared by this time and a
vast throng assembled to hear the demo-
cratic candidate, who was cheered con-
tinuously. He spoke from platform
erected especially for the occasion at
the corner of Smelling and Langford
avenues, outside the fair grounds gates.
B. +. Nelson, of the state fair associa-
ton, presided over the meeting and in
troduced Governor johnson. who in
turn introduced Mr.. Bryan. On the
platform were number of distinguish
ed Minnesotans. Mr.. Bryan spoke in
part as follows:
1.-THE democratic platform makes re-
publican extravaganza one of the is
sues of the present campaign. The re-
publican platform is silent on the sub
ject, and naturally so; to have promised
economy would have been mockery,
and to have defended the appropria-
tions made by the last congress would
have been impossible. The fifty-frst
congress was commonly called the
billion-dollar congress. The appropria-
lions made by that congress covered
two years, amounting for the first time
to billion dollars, or five hundred
million dollars year. The extrava-
gance of that congress contributed to
the overwhelming victory won by the

Staunton spectator and vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1896-1916, 1908-09-04
COLD AS A TOAD.

Mr. Taft has created no enthusiasm
anywhere. He is not of the kind to do
so, and the present campaign if it has
anything of enthusiasm in it will get
it, not from the people but from those
gentlemen who must shout to hold
their jobs. 1t is certain that Mr.. Taft
is cold proposition. The ordinary
Republican knows he was nominated
simply because Mr.. Roosevelt demand
ed it. The "business" man, aud that
means just anybody who makes liv-
ing without manual labor, sees nothing
in Mr.. Taft but man who has the
nomination and if the people elect him
will serve. The manufacturer knows
Mr.. Taft is not for any early revision
of the tariff, hence he suits him in a
way. But inasmuch as he knows the
Republicans in Congress will not per-
nit the tariff to be revised, he, the
manufacturer, will vote for Taft as the
nominee out of habit more than any
thing else. He imagines the country
is going Republican any way, and he
will go along with the crowd. That
is all.
The Banker is possibly as enthusiasts
tic as any other class except the office
holder. Mr.. Taft has tried to defend
him against guaranteeing anybody his
mohey who deposits it with him. But
he is small quantity when it comes
to voting. The united order of coal
beavers can out vote him two to one in
any State.
The Labor Union man is not for Mr..
Taft of course. The decisions rendered
by him whilst holding place ON the
federal bench are so one sided from the
view point of the Labor Unionist that
he will not touch him with the end of
a fishing rod.
The negro is, for the first time since
the war, as cold as Christmas morn
ing. He has heard that Taft is can
didate, but he has yet to shout for him
or to talk for him, and many of them
will not vote for him. This is very I'M
generous. Mr.. Taft's party has always
professed great love for the negro, and
everybody knows its sincerity. But
for some reason the negro is Indifferent
and many will not vote at all, or if they
do they will vote against the nominee.
The office seeker. Well now you're
talking. Here is the enthusiastic Taft
man. Here is the real thing when
hunting for enthusiasm. But praise
be to him on high, there are not quite
enough of these people, such as they
are, to elect Mr.. Taft. So he will be
left at home, if they have to turn the
trick. Thus it is seen that nobody is
shouting, and how can they for so cold
and toad like candidate as Mr.. Taft.
When Col. s. B. Allen promised Mr..
Taft $1,000 s'unpurchased and UNI
purchasable" Confederate veterans as
voters, he promised him goods not on
the market at any price. But just why
he associated the words purchased
and ''purchasable" with that particu-
lar class of voters is unexplained. Was
it to distinguish between the Ohio voter
with whom Mr. Taft has become ia
| miliar, or some other kind of Virginia
voter with whom Col. Allen has be
come familiar? Certainly the Confed.
crate veteran has not enjoyed the mix
ing up of his name directly or indirect
| ly either with Mr.. Taft or with corrupt
methods.
