The efforts of Dr. Henderson, health officer of the town of Fulton, in behalf of obtaining support from the state board of health In relieving the cltizons of Fulton and the eastern portion of the Fourth ward, of the stench of the creek and fertilizing: plant, may be crowned with success, as the following letter will show: Wheeling. W. Va., Oct. 1G, 1900. Dr. Henderson, Health Ofllcor, Fulton. MY DEAR DOCTOR:?I have ai letter from Dr. A. R. Ilarbee, secretary of tho state board of hculth. In relation to your fertilizing plants. He says that the county court, prosecuting attorney and county board of hculth have full authority to abate theso nuisances and cites section 20 b, and 20 c, of tho code of 1S00, which arc found on page 387. I doubt if these apply to your case, but think this does. Sec. 2S, p. 4ia says: "The council of such city, town or village shall have power to abate or cause to be abated anything which, in the opinion of a majority of tho whole council, shall be a nuisance." Dr. Barbee says that the state board will be in session here November 14 and 17. and if their attention Is called tcf this matter, they will be glad to lend their aid. Very sincerely. S. L. J EPSON.

"What was the divesting power to do? The Instant the Paris treaty was ratified the uuuiuruy over me irniuppines was invested In the United States. Invested how? For our own selfish ends? No! What were we to do? The only motive that guides us Is human liberty. (Applause.) "Should we abandon control of these Islands? Permit them to become reft with.Internal strife? Wasn't It better to protect them and teach them how to enjoy civic liberty? There was an Insurrection there and we had to put It to an end. Mr. Bryan says ho would bring it to an end by turning the government over to the insurgents and back them up in their efforts. The Philippine insurgents represc-nt a small minority of the. Inhabitants of the Island. If we follow out Mr. Bryan we would be doing the/very thing that he objects to, ruling the majority by the minority. "We are In the Philippines to give them self government. William McKloley says that himself. The only way you can Judge a man's Intention Is by taking what he says. Mr. Bryan says the Insurrection must bo quelled. The Republicans say they will give them self government. The Republican party Is tho party of freedom. It Is the party that was called Into existence when the Whig party failed to meet the Issue. It Is the party whose very being resulted In the advance of human liberty. The Republicans find added reputation In the Imputation of imperialism. Our flag waves not as the symbol of imperialism. It waves there as It does here, the fiag of home, of liberty, of civilization. The only question Is the manner of procedure In these Islands. Sober, Calm McKinley. "The calm., sober statements, of Mr. McKlnley have got to be taken an final until proven wrong. They must be taken as the honest and honorable statements of the Hepubllcan party. (Applause.) In a month and a half Mr. Bryan hasn't touched the money question. Will he pay the national debt In silver? If he will not he Is a qulverer and Is false to his platform. If he was right In 1896 why doeBn't his party follow him? "The Republican party puts this, the one whole thing of Imperialism. They stand as they did from '61 to '6.". They stand as then on this question, and they wont try to avoid It. " Mr. Maher was applauded for fully five minutes when ne took his seat, and It was some time before the chairman could be heard to announce the next speaker. W.hen he Introduced Hon. W. D. Bynum, he was vigorously applauded.' Hon. W. D. Bynum. ^ Mr. Bynum began by saying that most of his life had been spent In rendering service to the Democratic party. "In 1896 I Joined, In common with some of your fellow townsmen, the sound money forces. Jn doing this I thought I could do better service for my country. I want to say to you that the prosperity and welfare depend on the election of William McKinley. (Applause and cheers.) "The Democratic party, comes before the people of this country with great and new Issues, they say. The trouble at Kansas City was whether they should reiterate the 10 to 1 policy In that platform. They telegraphed to Mr; Bryan and he settled It. They reaffirmed the Issues of the Chicago plat; form and then suddenly discovered the fact that Imperialism was paramount. ( A nnlniici. \ "What's going to happen to you Is the-paramount Issue of this campaign. Why was imperialism brought Into this campaign? Why, simply with the purpose of muddling the issues so that Mr. Bryan can appear as a consistent candidate for the presidency. The Democratic party hurried this war on President McKlnley before he was ready for war. He said we ought to have a little powder anyway. (Laughter and applause.) "The Democrats said McKlnley was a coward and traitor for not declaring war. The ratification of the Paris treaty depended on a three-fourths vote In the senate. Seventeen Democrats. silver Republicans and Populists voted for It. Mr. Bryan hurried to Washington and was responsible for the ratification of that treaty The constitution of the United States requires of the President the upholding In the Philippines Just as much as it was the duty of Abraham Lincoln to quell the Insurrection In the United States. (Cheers.) Bryan's Excuse. "What excuse does Mr. Bryan give for his part in the ratification of the treaty? He labored to put the President in a very delicate position. If he failed to uphold the sovereignty of the United States In the Philippines he would charge him with cowardice. You all know how he now charges him with Imperialism for upholding the liag there. "Not In a single Instnnce were the people consulted In acquiring territory of the United States. In Louisiana arbitrary government was established. The President appointed the governor and the court. The same was the case In Florida. Andrew Jackson was sent government was established before the treaty of cession was signed. "What is proposed In regard to tho Philippines. "Why, It la not known what wo are going to do. We will give them a government as soon as they are capable. It may bo fifty or more years, but the United States will take excellent care of them In the meantime. This question lied entirely In your hands. Imperialism comes by all tho power becoming centered In the general government. Mr. Bryan advocates this to-day In government ownership. So long as the people have been true to themselves, true to their liberties and their rights, just so long will we need to not fear Imperialism. (Applause.) "Now, I will take up the trusts. They are not of recent origin. The Democratic party knows full well th^t tho laws on tho statute books exhausts all federal power and nil the Democrats say is not worth the paper It Is written upon. Commerco Is not production; It Is transportation. Therefore no manufacturer can be engaged In Inter-state commerce. We never want to see tho time when the federal rnvernniont rMMcr Itn nosn In nrlvntf* business. We don't want that. Constitutional Amendments. "Mr. Bryan said we'll have a constitutional amendment. The whole Republican party took him at his word and endeavored to paHa a law and the Democrats defeated It. Neither party Is In favor of trusts.. I think that every Democrat and every Republican. If he Rot any watered stock, would pocket It In a hurry. (Laughter nnd applause.) Mr. Bynum then told of tho number of prominent Democrats who hold trust slock. "Chairman Jones, of the Democratic party, when asked about the trust In which he Is Interested, replied that that was his business. That was what all men said?It Is their own business. Mr. Croker and many other Tammanyltes have their pockets full of Ice trust stock. "What Is tho real Issue? You arc Interested In upholding and maintaining the conditions of prosperity that have blessed this country for the past four ytaru. (Cheers.) "I don't believe In taking chances," said Mr. Bynum, "especially In politics. I want to embalm, cremate and bury Bryan. (Cheers.) Mr. Bryan Isn't advocating and teaching Democracy when he opposes the ^old standard. In 1792, when Congress first established a coinage'law, they coined one ounce of gold with fifteen ounces of silver. They found that one ounce of gold was worth fifteen and uife-half ounces of silver and the consaquences were that when gold went out of the country an ounce of ROld would bring fifteen and onehalf ounces of silver. This went on until 1821, when a Democratic committee ! of Congress reported that It was Inconvenient to have a double standard and that It was In come cases absolutely necessary/lo have a single standard, i Congress didn't do anything. It wtnt ' until 1328, when gold went up to a pre- | mlum of. 5 per cent. Andrew Jackson | was elected and his secretary reported fhn* If tt-na rtlfT.nuH tn mnlntnln ctntiil. I nrds of cllfff*r?!nt material and advocating a single standard; He said the metalu were constantly fluctuating and that we could safely maintain one standard In fact, was self-evident. Would Debase Our Currency. "The Democratic party would debase our coin by making a flfty-three cent dollar worth an honest one hundred cent gold dollar." The speaker gave a history of our monetary system from Its Inception until the present day and told how the Democratic party had changed Its Ideas on the subject. He read many reports of congressional committee reports on the subject from time to time, all of them telling of the necessity of making a single standard, and all others subservant to It. "Mr. Bryan don't know the history of the Democratic party. He evidently thinks ha is Jefferson and Jackson and now ha tails us ho is Lincoln. (Laughter.) We care not what the' character of our money Is, we've got to trade by the gold standard. We don't object to copper, silver or nickel, but all we say Is that If this government makes a coin and stamps It a dollar, It must bo a dollar. (Applause.) You can't transport these metals side by sldw without one coin doing all the business. "There cannot be any fluctuation If your standard Is gold, because thnt Is the world's standard and one piece of gold will have the same relative value to another piece of gold. Mexico Is on the gold standard, notwithstanding they have had nothing but the free coinage of silver for 250 years. It Is the greatest silver producing country In the world. "Wo have twice over what Mexico has In silver circulation. They have only 54 per capita and we have {0 per capita silver In circulation. The moment you force silver out of circulation It would sink down to Its bullion value. It Is a commodity. It becomes an article of commerce and you cannot tell how much you are going to have. We care not how much we coin. Results of Free Coinage. "Do we think we could by our own force, open our mints to the free coinage of sliver? Suppose sliver would go up? We could go down to Mexico, and with one dollar and get two dollars. You could bring them back and have them coined Into good American coin. Don't you think the Mexicans would soon get onto that scheme. You know full well that a product must pay all Its expenses. We were on a gold standard during the civil war. We did business with paper money. Our paper money was down as low as fifty-three cents on a dollar. The Republican party wants that whenever the worklngman steps up to by a loaf a bread he wants it always the same size. He don't want It to fluctuate with silver. (Applause.) "It Is estimated' that to-day $1 performs the functions of $1,000 forty or flfty years ago. "I was taught In my younger days," continued Mr. Bynum, "to hate the national banks. I want to say rlfrht here and they say an open confession Is good for the roul, that the national bank system Is the best In the world. Wc cannot get along without the bank." Mr. Bynum was heartily cheered wucu lie cioseu. A DETERMINED WOMAN Finally Found a Food That Cured Her. "When I first read of the remarkable effects of Grape-Nuts food, I determined to secure some," says Mrs. C. W. Aldrldge. of Salisbury, Mo. "At that time there was none kept In this town, but my husband ordered some from a Chicago traveler. f'l had been greatly afflicted with sudden attacks of cramps, nausea, and vomiting". Tried all sorts of remedies and physicians, but obtained only temporary relief. As soon ns I began to use the new food the cramps disappearand have never reappeared. "My old attacks of sick stomach were a little slower to yield, but by continuing the food, that trouble has disappeared entirely. I am to-day perfectly well, can eat anything an everything I wish, without paying the penalty that I used to. Wo could not, and would not, keep house without Grape-Nuts.' "My husband was so delighted with the benefits I received that he has been recommending Grape-Nuts to his customers and has built up a very large trade In the food. He sells them by the case to most of the leading physicians of the county, who prescribe GrapeNuts very generally. There is some satisfaction In using a really scientifically prepared food."
