DESICH PATEHT8, toJ omer SOMERSET, PA., COL BOB'S SOC DOLAGER CHU5KS OF ISGEESOLL'S S0T7SD HONEY SPEECH AT CHICAGO. The Popoeratie Party in Faror of Every thing That Can Hot Be Done They Desire to Aboluh Fact, Punuh Saeeest, and Beward Failnrea What Money If. Col. Bob Ingernoll stirred things up out in Chicago last Thursdaj, when the wholt city was shouting for Mc- Kiuley and sound money. The Col onel hasn't done much campaign speak- ng since 1SS4, but this year the issue between honesty and dishonesty has roused him, and he put his opinions on the subjectiinto a speech and deliver ed that apepch in Chicago. Chicago people and Chicago newspapers agree that it was one of the greatest speeches of the campaign. The Colonel U'gan by saying : "Again we are on the field of battle, where thought contends with thought, w here faeU are bullets and our argu ments are swords," and then he pro ceeded to use both bullet and sword. Thene that follow are some of the best : What is money ? In the first place, money is the product of nature ; mon ey is a part of nature. o man ever made or created money. It is beyond the power of Legislatures and Con gresses. It is beyond the power of the human race. Money is not made. It has to be found. Money is something that does not have to be redeemed. Money is the redeemer. Anything that has to be bolstered up with the promise of an udividual or a nation is not money. Greenlweks are not money. They are promises to pay money. A national bank bill is not money. It is a prom ise to pay money. Nothing that a Gov- rnment can print no matter what picture it may put upon it, no matter what words 'In God We Trust' it is not money ; it is simply a promise to pay. And yet there are thousands and thousands of people who believe that a nation can create money. A nation can no more create money by law than it can create corn and wheat and barley by law. It does not make any difference who issues good money. It is Just as good when Lazarus issues it as when Dives Issues it. Xo matter whether the Gov ernment is bankrupt that coins it, the money is just as good. A pieoe of gold coined by the Romans 'SAM) years ago is iust as trood to-day as when Julius Ctesar rode at the head of his legions. Since that lime darkness has fallen over the Ilonian empire, and the em pire has passed into oblivion, but the gold coined shines as brightly now as in Rome's palmiest days. That is good money. Money is a commodity. heat and corn are commodities. So is money, the peculiarity about money being that it is exchangeable forall commodities, liut it is a commodity ; nothing more nothing less. When a man givw a bushel of wheat for a dollar in gold he buys a dollar in gold, and the dollar in gold buys the wheat. Both are com modities, and a commodity is some thing that can not be manufactured by law. Gok1 money is always gocxi. Good money is always at par, never at a pre mium, and never at a discount. When people buy good money with lad mon ey they tay the good money is at a pre mium. That Is not so. The bad mon ev is at a discount. That Is what is tiie matter. Good money is always at par, And yet we have a man running for the' l'residency, on three platforms ith two Vice-Presidents, who says money is the creature of law. If you can make money by law why shouldn't we be rich? If a hundred people should settle 01; an island and form a government and elect a Legisla ture, they could make laws, and if money is the creature of law there is no reason why they should not be as wealthy as Great Britain. Law is in exhaustible, and if you can turn it into money, no nation has an excuse for be ing poor. If the Government can make money by law, why should the Government c tllect taxes? Let us be honest. Here Is a poor man with a little yoke of cattle culti vating forty acres of stony ground, workinir like a slave in the heat of summer, in the cold blasts of winter, and the Government makes him pay f 10 taxes, when, according to these ni 'ii, it could issue a SiOO.O.K) bill in a teoond. Issue a bill and give the fel low w ith the cattle a rest We have a man running for the Pres idency who appeals to all people in debt, and says : "Vote for me, vote for me, aud you can pay your debt in 50 cent dollars." That is what he says to them. Not a very honest proposition, but that is what he says. "Vote for me and you can pay off your debt with half the money it requires now." And thereupon the creditor says to Mr. Bryan: "ou are not going to cheat m, are you?" And Mr. Bryan says; "No, free coinage will make silver worth f 1.29 an ounce in gold ; free sil ver will make the silver dollars equal to the gold dollars," and thereupon the debtor holds his coat tails and says: "In God's name, how is that going to help me?" In all his speeches be has been guilty of this contradiction cheap silver for deUors, aud silver as good as gold for creditors aud, do you know, that man has not seeu the inconsisten cy of these two statements yet? Now, it takes thirty-one ounces of silver to be worth an ounce of gold But thev propose by law to make sixteen ounces of silver the value of an ounce of gold. If they can do that by law, w hat Ls the use of wasting all that silver? If ihey can by law make it 10 to 1, why not put another clause on and make it ltol? And if they by fiitcauadd 43 cents' worth of law to 52 cents' worth of silver and make a dollar, why not make all fiat and use the silver for forks and tpoons ? A promise to pay money is not mon ey. A promise to pay money is like a nomination for an office, and the fulfil ment of that promise is like the elec tion' to that filoce, and ou the 4th day of November even Bryan will know the difference betweeD promise and ful filment ' All the debte that were due In 1873, k30 lb ESTABLISHED 1827. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21. 18G. or made in 1873, of individuals, have all leen paid, or they are all outlawed. You can not help the debtors that were injured then; you can not help the debt ors of 1S73 by swindling the creditors of 1W.HJ. I have ten told that during the war we had plenty of money. I never saw it. I lived years without enriching my eyes With the sight of n dollar and the greenlwck, unless you have the gold behind it, is no more a dollar than a bill of fare is a dinner. You can not make a paper dollar without taking a dollar's worth of paper. Better be an honest bankrupt than a rich thief. Poverty can hold in its hand the jewel honor a jewel that outshines all other gems. A thousand times let ter be poor aud noble than rich and fraudulent. There are millions of people in the United States who are creditors and debtors. They want to be paid, and they want to pay the men they owe. Nobody can be heljied by free coinage except the few people who could pay their debts if they were willing. We want credit. Credit is tased on confidence, and when we have good times, you know, everybody, nearly, has credit. Every man's mouth is a mint that issues dollars. When a good fellow with a good job goes to the gro cer and says, "Give me fcV worth of su gar, ? worth of coffee; charge it," he has added $10 to the currency of the United Slates. He has inflated the money; and when another buys a horse aud gives his note for $100 he has infla ted the money. And afterward, when times get hard, and they won't credit, then they say money is scarce. There is just as much money as there was be fore. Credit is scarce. That is the trouble. Confidence is gone, and yet they are going to give prosperity at 1(5 to 1. What does that rueau? That will mean sixteen men f-r one dollar, six teen men hunting one job. That is what it will meau. And of the six teen, fifteen failures, bankrupts. Mr. Bryan hates the rich. Would he like to be rich ? Mr. Bryan hates bond holders. Would hj like to have a mill ion in bonds? Mr. Bryan hates the successful. Has he an ambition to be a failure? If he has, wait until the 4th of November and he will be satisfied. Aud why should we envy the rich ? Let me till you something. The Van derbilts and the Aston and the Rocke feller never drank any colder water than I have. They never smoked bet ter cigars. They never ate lighter bis cuits nor better potatoes, nor drank bet ter Illinois wine than I have than you have. We know the ccstaeies of love m well as they. We know the love of wife aud child and friend, and in some resjiects we have the advantage. .They fear and we hope. They are at the top, and they are afraid of falling. We are close to the ground, aud w hope to climb. Why should we envy the successful ? Why should we hate them, and why should we array class against class? It is all wrong. For instance, here is a young man, and he is industrious. He is in love with a girl around the cornet. She is in his brain all day and in his heart all night (laughter), and while he is work ing he is thinking, and he gets a little ahead and they get married, and he is an honest man and he gets credit, and the first tiling you know he has a good home for his children, and his old age Ls filled with c-onteut and love. His companions ba.-k in the sunshine of idleness; have wasted their time, wasted their wages in dissipation, aud when the winter of life comes, when the pnow falls on the barren fields of the wasted days, then, shivering with cold, pinched w ith hunger, they curse the man who has succeeded. There upon they all say they are going to vote for Bryan. The citizens of America should be friends. We have no permanent classes. The children of the rich to-day may work for the men who worked for them. Sons of millionaires may be mendi cants; sons of mendicants may be mill ionaires. The great republic opens ev ery avenue to distinction and wealth to her children. I want no class feeling. Blessed is that country where the rich are extrav agant and the poor economical. Mist r ab!e that country where the rich are economical and the p;or extravagant A rich fpendthrift is a blessing. A rich miser is a curse, r.xtravaganee is a splendid form of charity. Let the rich spend, let them build, let them give work to their fellow-men, and I will fiud no fault with their wealth. I admit that Bryan is honest. If he were not, his intellectual pride would not allow him to sav wual ne Uoes. lie is honest He is a Populist, a Social ist. and a new Democrat His head is filled with vagaries, and his brain is a kind of political insane asylum without a keeper. I think we had better take McKinr ley. If he should die, a capable, hoij et man would take his place Garret A- Hobart If Bryan should be elect ed and he died, imagine sitting in the seat of Abraham Lincoln, Thomas t on ! That Is enough to give a patriot the nightmare. Let us stand by Mc- Kinley. The new Democratic party is worse than the old, and that is saying a good deal for me. The new Democratic ir ty, with its allies, the Populists and the Socialists, represents ihe follies, the mistakes and absurdities of a thousand years. They are In favor of everything that can not be done. "Whatever is, is wrong." They think creditors are swiudlers and debtors who refuse to pay their debts are honest men. Good money is bad and poor money is good. A promise is better than a perform ance. They desire to abolish facts, punish success, and reward failure. Fellow citizens, make np your minds to-night "Now is the accepted time.' Vote for good money. Vote for integ rity. Vote against silver swindles and repudiation. Vote for protection and prosperity. Vote against free trade and depreciation. Vote for business and good wages. Vote against idleness and hunger. Vote for the enforcement of the law. Vote to uphold courts and Presidents in the preservation of peace. Vote to keen contracts sacred. Vote to preserve life, property j and liberty. Vote against the mob. f Vote against the dagger, the torch, nd the bomb. Vote for law and order. Vote for the glory of the great republic. We love our country. It is dear to us for its reputation throughout the world, for its credit in all the marts of trade, for the glory of the iast, for the liU rty of the present, and for the hope of the future. Let us swear that we will pre serve our country with its honor un stained, its credit unimpaired; that we will preserve it for ourselves, our child ren, and their children yet to be. Union and Honor, Mr. McKinley struck tTe note of high patriotism in his speech to the Confed erate veterans ou Friday. What made that reunion of former foes significant was not merely the proof it gave that the f lassions of the civil war are stilled. That has been abundantly shown in other ways and in past years. In 1SS1, when President Arthursent to Congress the first message that body had receiv ed iu a score of years in which no ques tion was discussed relating to the war, the country knew that solid union had come, and come to stay. What mark ed the meeting at Canton was that the men who hud home arms against each other came together in the defense of the honor of the common country. This was the note of Mr. McKiuley's speech. "Liberty, union and honor," he de clared to be the "high aim of every sur- ivorof the great war." His visitors had come to "testify their devotion to the unbroken and never-to-lie-broken Union (tremendous applause) and their purpose to uphold its credit and honor forever. (Cries of 'Good ! Good !' ami great cheering.) Let it go forth ; let il be everywhere proclaimed that the men of the North and the men of the South fetaud for the enthronement of ustice and the supremacy of the law. Great cheering.) Ixt us remember now and in all the future that we are Americans, and that what is good for Ohio is g-iod for Virginia." (Contin uous applause and loud yells and three cheers for McKinley and Hobart.) There is no mistaking the spirit of words. Whatever merely partisan feeling Mr. McKinley may have, il was silenced by the spectacle presented that day. Nothing was in his words but a profound conviction that the honor of the common country is threatened, and that the people of all sections are unit ed in Its defense. Aud that is the sim ple and precious truth. New York Times. If your children are subject to croup watch for the tirst symp tom of the disease hoarseness.

Mr. David Macrae, of Dundee, has brought together some amusing "Blun ders" in a little book last issued. Pas tor John Ii st of Laforce, in traveling through Scotland, had heard the word liarren" aouiied to hilltois where there was no vegetation. According ly, rising to address the Free Church Assembly, in which there happened to be au unusual number of venerable and baldheaded 'diviues, he told them how nervous he was when he looked round and saw so many barren heads! The Scotsman remarked next day that for oace the Free Assembly had got thje truth told about It. Westminster Cja- jette, The Great Secret. Boerhaave, the greatest doctor of his time, was anxious that it should go forth that even the most ctaiucnt doct oris somewhat of a "humbug." H carefully handed the key cf a small di ary to his exicutor, bade him open it immediately after his decease, aud let the contents go forth to the world at large. When the note book was open ed, all the pages but the last were blank, and on that final one there was written in large letters: "Directions to patients: Keep your feet warm and your head cool, and trust for the rest to Providence," ileraicS The Price of Gold- The subjoined questions have Ixt-n asked of us by a correspondent: "1. Does the price of gold fluctuate in j commercial sense the same as silver? I " When a jeweler buys gold bullion j at prices qiijid"Iu the market report, ! s that jy-Tudication that the price of j gohMTiietuates commercially the same Sthe price of silver? " Is gold amenable to the law of sup ply and demand as a product, or only as money?" The asking of these questions shows f it-elf the confusion that prevails in many minds on the subject t- which they relate. The price of gold in any country in which gold bullion is coin- 1 without charge, or at a tritling harge to the owner, differs from the quantity of coin which it will produce only by the difference which the own- r is willing to pay to save hinist-lf the iss or inconvenience of waiting for the actual coinage to take place. l:t this country every depositor of g.old bullion at the mint gets, as soon as the bullion can be weighed and assayed, an order on the Treasury for $2.J.U7 for ev- ry ounce, less the ost of moiling and alloying, which is next to nothing. l (ireat Brit-tin the Bank of England is required by its charter to py for ev- ry ounce of tttandard gold offered to it shillings and 9 encc, in its own notes, and these notes it must redeem gold coined into sovereigns at 77 shillings ami loi pence ht ounce, or it can keep it uncoined. When the bank buys gold ou its own account, as, for iistancc, when it buys American gold coin, it pays a triffj less than the regu- ation price; and when it sells either our coin or gold burs it gets as much iiore as purchasers are willing to pay. Nevertheless, the coining value of gold fixes, very nearly, the market pric?, and the deviations are trilling. When it crimes to the value of gold measured by commodities a different r.iL prevails. Tiie price of gold does not vary, but the quantity of it requir ed to procure in exchange any article that is botig'.it or sold varies according to the market An ounce of coined j.dd will buy sometimes 0 ounces of silver, sometimes 31, and sometimes 32. It will buy sometimes -i bmhels of wheat, sometimes 3), and, at present, here in New York, about 2. When a jeweler needs gold he cuu either melt tip gold coins or buy uncoined bars, as e pleases; but, either way, he pays very nearly the same value for it Our answers to the questions put to us are, therefore: 1. Tne pri.-e of gold does not vary in a commercial sense the same aa silver. 2. The price paid for gold burs does not indicate that gold fluctuates commercially. 3. Gold is amenable to the law of supply and demand, but the variations ia its value are indicated by the prices of other commodities, of which prices gold coin, or its equivalent, is the measure.

The man with the iencil was at it. lie had heard thit the smallest ballot to lie voted this year will bo eleven col umns wide, or twenty -seven Inches long. Then he sat down in the "Daily Telegraph" office and began to figure.

They arv- headed for Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio and Michigan, in the order nam- e I, and mny bring up in the closing lours of the battle in West Virginia. No feature of the camp-iign has been hailed with more interest and delight that the trip of the Union Generals. They are all called ( lenerals, although iu reality the party is made up of five generals, a captain and a corporal. The generals are, O. O. Howard, Dan iel E. Sickles, T. J. Stewart, of Penn sylvania; O. A. Mardeii, of Massa chusetts, and Iiis.-s.-ll A. Alger, of Michigan. The captain is John It Tanner, the Republican candidate for 4 iovi-rnor of Illinois, and the corporal is Corpora! Tanner, of New York. By no means the least interesting o-rson on the Union General's train Is the bugler. At every shopping place on the road the bugler is a very im portant man. At these stopping places the generals leave their car eats on the Hut car. On each side of their seats are the rapid-lire gun and mortar. When Gen. Sickles ries on his crutch es to address the audieuce the bugler is immediately beside him. 'U;igler," commands (ion. Sickles in the sharp tones of an army officer giv ing orders, "call my comrades iu the v:tit audience U-fure me." Tne bugler gives the regulation call. The old comrades in the audience step Uo the front and salute. "Biigler," roars Gen. Sickles, "call us back to the old days." The bugler thea runs the gamut of in fantry, artillery aul cavalry calls, and between them he plays the reveille and t'ie call to arms. The old comrades roar v.-ith delight The rapid-fire gun blaes away and the nortar belches skyward a bomb which, when it breaks, is a ball of red, white and blue fire. There is a bund at every ooint and the national s--iigs are rep!ayeL All join in iugiir the "Star Spangled Banner." Tiie-e s-"-ie.4 are repeated all alon. the r oute. Gen. Sickles, iu his speeches, suys never a word about free silver, liis talks are ou pntrioti.-in alone. He talks to the old comrades like an old general who was their commander and their friend. He takes particular de light in 'Skinning that wolf Altgtld." He dots this bc-au-c he detlares Alt geld is not a p-.tt.-io!. "Comrades," he says to his audience, "there w:s a young man who visited the East a short time ago. He said be fore he started East that lie wan to en ter the enemy's couutry. That youug man's name is Bryan. I have come to see you out Wo-.t I have not corue in to my owu country, and there is not one of my old comrades here or his wife or his child who is afraid of me. Neither am I afraid of him. You know, comrades, what we had to do thirty-five years ago. We had to staud by the Mag. We must stand by the fi.ig now. There is no bitterness in our loarts, but ha old comrades we must staud by the tlag. We must st-u:d by the old colors. We must s'aiid by tlie country.

The Detroit Tribune, a free-silver pajoer, says : "It is true that under an era of higher prices fixed salaries will not go so far as now ; but now they go tvo fur, and their purchasing power ought to be reduced. These salaries were mostly established before the hard times set in, and now represent vastly m ire than was intended when the sala ries were created." iKou't you suppose wages will be affected jut like salaries ?

It should le rpine.iiberpfl by fvery man that works for wage that in ra Mr. Hryau ia elected thew will 1 uo need of legislation to put the country oa a silver basis. If the fact of his elec tion U not of itself suftb-U-nt to do that, all th:tf will be needed will be for his Secretary of the T reasury to begin re deeming greentiacks and treasury notes in silver. When that policy is begun gold w ill immediately go to a premi um, and the silver dollar will U-gin to depreciate. What this will mean for the wag--ear!iers ought to ! clear to any sensible mau. There t an 1? uo doubt of the depreciation of the silver dollar. Thai is the result which Bry au wishes to bring about. He openly declares that he means to make prices higher. The Sentinel has faid that prices would advance, not because the articles would be more valuable, tut because money would be less valuable. The man that now gets $2 a day would j mi get J2, but when he came to?pend them he would find that they would buy much less of the necessaries of life than now. There is no dispute on this point. Is the workingman interested in having prices rais-d by cheapening his wages? D oes he not feel that he it fortunate when he can make his wages go as far as is possible? Even if his wages were nominally doubled, would he loe any better off with prices doub led, too? What Mr. Bryan has got to show is that wages will advance more than pricts. Unlesa they do, the work ingman would gain nothing by fre coinage. If they advance less than prices he would worse off than now. If they advanced equally w ith prices he would be just where he is now. The two-dollars-a-day man would have four dollars, rnd he would have to pay double for his purchases. If they ad vanced more than prices he would be the gainer. But no one will maintain that they will advance more than pri ces. Therefore, the result will neces sarily be that the workingman will be worse off than now, or most no better off. Of course tho fact Is that wages would not keep pa-e with prices. It is an easy matter for a merchant to mark up prices, and for the landlord to raise" his rent But how are wages raised? In the first place they cini ot b ? r.i.-1 at ail unless the conditions of product ion warrant it When times are gwl and production is large there is al ways a chance for an advance in wa ges. But it can hardly be expected that that policy whi.-h Tue Sentinel has declared will bring on a panic which may last anywhere from f..ur to ten years will have a stimulating eff.-. t on business, Sj this point must be? kept in mind. Free silver so far from bringing goo 1 times would bring in dustrial panic. The whole testimony of history is that under cheap money the working man always gets the worst of the busi ness. It is easy U see why this mut lie so. In th- nature of thing! wa.vsj can not rise proportionately t o prices. They rise somewhat, but by slow de grees, and it is rarely that they ever get so high as prices. There is always margin against the workingman. He has to sell his labor every day. He can not afford to wait But prices move upward almost immediately. There are many workingmen who understand all this perfectly. But some of them no doubt feel yet as they did earlier in the campaign, that in some mysterious way free silver will tienifit the country at large and help the "masses." So they are willing to make thesacrifice. It should be known that nothing can loe good for the country which is not good for its toilers. The "masses" iu America are made up of toiler. What is good for them is good for all of us. And it can not be shown that that loolicy is good for them which proposes to decrease the purchasing ixower of the wages of the workinguien. That such will be the effect iof the Bryan policy is perfectly clear. Indianapolis News, A Good Investment.
