The large works at Smithville closed
temporarily that the mechanics might
hear Mr.. Crossley. II am not here to In
suit the intelligence of the working men
who are wrestling with the problems OF
life" he said. 1--WE know when we are
eating good food, when we are wearing
good clothes and when our children are
being educated. The working man can
only be happy when he is earning honest
wages and with plenty of work to do. My
father and three of my uncles were Dem
ocrats, and claim to have the right to
talk to those of you who are of that faith.
Workmen have the right of free thought,
and they have the right to reason on the
theories of this campaign.
civilian ]. Bryan, an orator who coins
silver phrases, was unknown prior to 1885.
When a committee In the interests of the
closed potteries at Trenton went down to
Washington to secure the enactment Of
legislation beneficial to their business,
Bryan was among those who looked upon
the workingman as beggar and robber,
and the pottery employees had to go back
to work lat 124. per cent. reduction in
their wages Where are such men as
Hill and other Democratic
leaders in the good old days Of the past 7
They are gone, and Democracy lie now in
the hands of the free silver men. Bryan
Is not wanted by the masses Of the peo-
pie. His monetary system has gone, his
issues are gone, and he will
90 after November 3, as he has made
great mistake in running for the Presi-
dency for the third time. If the people
wanted him he would have been elected
before It was Republicans who raised
the arm of America from the block Of
slavery, and it was America who took up
the cause of the fallen, which meant the
freedom of Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines. The American standard was
raised in those countries by William II.

lamented Mckinley to settle differences

that it was expansion.
HE wants the individual deposits In
banks guaranteed by other banks, which
is a most vicious measure and one of
the most silly schemes ever advanced.
The people ruled when the country was
when it was saved and when
slavery was abolished. The people
ruled in the election Of Grant, Hayes,
Garfield, Mckinley, Harrison, Arthur and
and they will again rule that
Bryan shall never become President of
the United States"
At Pemberton Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Nelson B. Gaskill said that during
Bryan's four years In Congress he did
nothing that would justify his election as
President.
''Tell us what Taft will do If elected, /"
asked a by-stander. That is good
point" suggested Mr.. Gaskill, and con-
he said: Taft can be trusted to
safely cope with the destinies of this
He has been prominently In the
public eye for twenty-seven years and is
well fitted for the Presidency. He will
give you wise and conservative admins
tration, one in which the business men will
have confidence, and his election will start
the mills and factories all over the coun-
try. Taft will come closer to filing
the dinner pail than Bryan" and the
speaker was not disputed in word he
said
Referring to the Congressional fight Mr..
Gaskill had this to say: 1--WE are asked to
remove John ]. Gardner and put in Gen.
Grubb. The latter threw over all his
friends and beliefs for years to accept nom
ination, and man who is false to himself
will be false to others. When 1t comes to
choice between man who has done his
duty and one who has turned over, you
will have little difficulty in deciding.
''The Republican party has been re-
sponsible for the good conditions which
have prevailed throughout the country.
The Wilson German bill was passed on
the basis for revenue only, which was a
blow to the general business prosperity OF
the country, Cleveland permitted 1t to
become law without his signature, and
then mills closed and soup houses were
opened.
