Senator stones speech al
MARSHALL, Mo.

tpceCn OF stone, at WAR
shall, Mo-, we are told, was "'pull.
ed OFF" on scheduled time July II,
1908. However, the immense
crowd that vas so confidently ex-
pected to arrive from the adjoin-
ing counties does not seem to
have materialized aud because OF
this apparent lack of interest on
the part of the voters in the
Scum Shoe" politicians aspira-
tions TO succeed himself; the Folk
followers now propose to get up a
counter demonstration, at
Marshall and which they
intend to eclipse the Stone
affair in point Of numbers and the
beating of tomtoms. Though it is
none of our affair, we shall watch
the display of prowers and wind
with great eagerncss, between
these two political gladiators and
their enthusiastic followers. We
have the laugh on the people OF
Mars hall in this Stone business,
for having read Stones speech
several hours before it vas de.
livered to them.
For volubility this Stone speech
is q record breaker, If we except
hs- y.a1, Won't ~ dntnntfhn
Emergency Currency Bill'
adopted by the last Congress and
in which speech it is said that
the Gum Shoe" statesman read
the Currency law of Persia through
and through, no less than ten
times as a model measure for the
United States.
We have been able to CLEAN the
following facts from said Marshall
speech: list, that all personal
illusions by the opposing Demo-
cratic candidates should be omit
ted, lest the Senators connection
wit the tobacco trust and baking
pc WIDER trust be rejuvenated.
The Senator is particularly anxi-
US 10 harmonic the party if i,
can be done by the reelection OF
himself to the Senate.
The Senator then proceeds to
discuss the tariff question at great
length aud revamps the exploded
Democratic doctrine of free trade.
He wants everything that is
man ufsctured by the trust put or
the free list and since some one OF
more trust companies are manu-.
ia curing everything that is usefu'
the result would be to put al
of goods on the free lis
and thus put all our manufacture!
out OF commission and reduce
labor to pauperism, as was the
case with the free trade '.Wilsor
BILL"
The Senator next Celebrates tn,
recent financial panic, and take
or eat comfort that it did not occu
under a Democratic administers
tion, but does not attribute sait
panic to any mall administrator
or legislation on the part of tn,
Republican party, whilst the pre-
vic us panic was directly the re
suit of the Wilson tariff law, witt
all its attendant evils.
My view of the cause of tn
present panic is this and which
have often expressed, that it wa
ag gravated if not produced b.
hostile legislation against trans
portation companies, on the par
of the states during last fall am
winter, Immediately following tn
closing up of Henzies Banks, OF
account of over speculation in Al
attempt to corner the cope
market. l am strengthened il
this conclusion by James 7
Harahan, president OF the Illinois
central Railway Company, VIII
has just returned from a trip t.
Europe, in which he is quoted t.
have said on his arrival, 9Th
railroads are in a bad way and i
is useless to deny it OF try to bea
about the bush. We have got t.
have more money either from in
crease of freight rates or reductio
ofsalaries and expenses, which is t
come l do not know but one O
the other must."
