Itcod's Oponlng.
At a great masa-ruootiug in Malno
Hon. Thomas B. Itcctl oponod tho
campaign wlth bucIi a spccch ns only
ho cnn raako. Suhjotncd nro somo cx
tracte:
" Just now thoro ls a great doal of
froth nnd foarn In tho nir. IIow vory
suddenly nll thla rush nnd atlr has sot
itsolf into action. Two tnonths ngo no
mnn of auy standltiE would havo riskcd
his roputntion ns n prophot by hinting
tho slightost doubt of ropublican auc
ccss. Ilowovor fnr tho ropublicnn
party miglit hnvo fnllou short of por
fection, novcrthclcss nll tnon folt thnt
it wns tho bost pnrty, just now, to draw
nlgh lo for whatovcr Is to bo loft to us
of tho eouud govornruont, commorcinl
success nnd busincss prospcrlty. On
thnt wo woro nll ngrccd.
"Two months havo sltpped away
hnrdly tinio to ripcn a Etrnwborry, much
lcss n systcm of llnnncc nnd thoro nro
thoso wbo toll ub thnt nll things hnvo
cbnnged, thnt thcao vory mou who
woro boing nrrnyed for docont burial
hnd burst tho corcmonts of tho gravo,
nnd, transflgurod by Bomo now ar
rangotnent of crowns of thorns and
croaacB of gold, woro to lcad ua to n
now hnpplnoss, nnd ovcn rcpalr nll tho
dnmngo thoy thomaelvcs hnd wrought.
Now this may bo ao, but to mo it doca
not Bccm probnblo.
" Porhnpa aomo ono will any horo wo
hnvo a crcativo pnrty which haa aprung
up In a night liko a muahrooni nnd cro
atod n now Bystem of flnanco. My
frlond8, you will flnd thnt thnt mush
room ia not good to ont, nnd thnt thnt
ptogrcea will land you in tho dllch.
Now all progross avoids nll ditchee.
" I nm bound to any that tho ovil
which has como to us by an unwiao rc
vialon of the tarlff hna bcon grently og
grnvntcd by ono of its consequonces
our loas of rovcnuo. Ilnd thoro boen
no deilcit, thcn 8100,000,000 of bor
rowcd gold would havo cnrricd us
through tho criais snfo and sound. As
it wa8, the conatant drainof tho deficit,
contiuually confounded with tho ro
dcmption of gold, haa so offcctod tho
imaginntiou of our pooplo thnt confl
denco cannot bo reatorcd until our
rovenuca equnl our oxpenaeB.
" Monntimo, let U8 sce whnt is pro
poaed by thoao gcntlcmcn who, within
tho lnst two months, havo diacoverod a
now curo for all tho ills HoBh ia heir to.
and who proclnim, ns they dld four
yeara ago, that thoy alono hold proa
pority in their graap.
"Their romedv is tho coinnge of si!
ver nt 16 to 1. Whnt doca thnt menn ?
" Hcretoforo, whenovor gold aud sil
vor havo stood togother it haa been nt
the tnarkct value. Whon wo tried to
mnko gold nnd Bilvor circulato togethor
wo hnvo nlwnya married according to
thoir markot value. To-day wo flnd
them, not 16 to 1, but 31 to 1, nnd wo
nro going, thoy aay, to lift silvcr to twice
its value not by the univeraal senao of
mankind, which alono makcs values,
but by tho statuto of theUnitcd Statcs,
Bingle-haudod, againat tho civilized
world.
"Why should the United Statcs try
to dothia alone ?
"If tho demonetizjtion of silver is n
dtaeaao at all it ia a world diaenao. If
it is n world disonso, how can it be
rencbed oxcopt by a world reracdy?
Intornational binietalisni I can under
staud, but this driving out of gold and
Bubatitutiou of silvor is only silvor
inonometali8tu for tho TJuitod Statee.
" If, then, wo aro going to havo a
dollar inferior to whnt we havo lo-dny,
what will be tho offect of it? Ilighor
prices, thoy aay. Not for overything.
If you havo a hundred dollara in tho
Bavings bank tc-day you can got ono
hundred gold dollars from the bank.
If this wild project succceds, and you
nro paid in 8ilvor, you will get tho $100,
but thoy will bo llfty or sixty or sov-enty-cent
dollare. If you havo a pen
Bion, that muat bo scaled doivn. If
you havo a bond, thnt goes dowu, too.
Will tho wnge-earnor be any bettcr off?
"What you buy will go up. Will your
woges go up, too? Thoro you havo ox
perienco to guido you. Wagca duting
greonback timea uicnaurcd in gold did
not go up ns othor things did. They
went up part way, but not all tho way
up, and woro vory slow about that. But
wouldn't busincBa bo bettor for raoro
mouey? It might bo nfter a terriblo
crnah with badf currency, nnd thon wo
would havo to got back again. Brandy
may aecm to strongthcn, but plnin
bread and nieat aro the sureat. What
wo want is not moro inonoy, but moro
capilal monoy nlways comes with
capital. Wo havo money now, moro
than wo can uae, lying idle. Wo havo
juat exported a lot of it. Money is tho
transforrer of capitnl, as n hay-rack aud
horaoa is tho transferrer of hay. Moro
hny-rncka will novcr mnko moro hay,
but moro hay will require moro hny
racka, and is suro to got them.
"Our capital is groat, but tho United
Statea ia very much greater. Thoro aro
millions of equaro miles and sovenly
llvo milliona of peoplo nud undoveloped
rlches wilhout Btiut. But thoro is not
capitnl onough to keep sevontyflvo
milliona of peoplo nt work. Whou aro
wo the moat proaporous ? It is whon
tho Beventy-flve millioiiB nro all nt work,
nnd whon thnt happens wo borrow of
tho rost of tho world thousauds of mil
liona of dollars,
" Now just as soon as this olection is
over and tho futuro poaition of tho
TJnitod States is assured, both as to
money nnd to tho omploymont of our
peoplo, cnpital is rcady to corao to us
from abroad nnd from our own pooplo
and wo shall ngnin be proaporoua.
" God koops tho futuro for himBolf.
Only his oyo can eoo in tho fulncBB of
trulh tho daya to como, but he has loft
us aomo glimpso of tliem in tho past,
nnd if men will only tnko guidnnco
from oxporionco thoy will seo, na thoy
cnn in no othor way show, thoir supori
ority over tho brutea which poriah.
" You and I, my frlonda, havo beon
togethor for twonty yoars two-thlrds
tho lifo of n genoratlon of mon. It
would bo singular if tho paBt givoa u no
holp In tho criais of our nffalrs. But
it cnn. wo hnvo bcon throuch nll this
onco boforo. Tho greonbnckors of
1878 woro not bad men. They woro
slncoro nnd hnd n bettor caso than tho
Bilvor mon of to-d.y. In fact it wna
much tho anmu uaao. Wo must hnvc
art flclal inflatlon and choapcr monoy,
thoy sald, or blickcst ruin nwnited us.
It wna n hnrd timo.
"Prlcoa woro low nnd work wns
Bcnrco; tnxos wcro high nnd dobta hnrd

speclo pnymonts.
"From thnt momont tho capital of
tho world wn9 ntourdiBposnl. Wo hnd
a good tariff, which mado ub do nll our
own work, and from 1870 to 1803 four
tecn yoars of prospority, which placcd
tho United Statcs in a grcat poaition in
tho world.
"If wo do tho liko thing to-day
liko things will follow. Wlth rov
onues equnl to our omorgoncles un

tho cortainty that tho dollar pnld

In nnswor to tho request of tho Now

Whilo giftcd with oratorinl powera of n

For "just pensiona" read "pcn

Tho mon who nominnted Bryan nt

nominntcd Brynn nt Chicago, want
to cheat every penaioner out of

It would bo a bravc and cconomical

irapossiblo for tho botter element of
tho parly to go with them. In our own

husiness house that will eupport tho
Ohicago ticket. Tho silver crnzo is not

Did you over seo a hattcry take poai
tion? lt hasn't tho thrill of a cavalrv chargo,
nor the gritnncBS of a llne of hiyouels
nioving elowiy and doteriniucdly on,
but thoro is a pcculiar oxcitement about
it that makcs old vetcraus riso in thoir
saddUs and clicor.
We havo bcon fighting ot tho cdp;o of
tho wood8. Evory cartridgt-box has
been otnptlcd onco or moro, and onc
fourth of tho brigade hns melted away
in dood and wounded and missing. Not
a clicor is hoard in tho wholo brigade.
wo know tnat wo aro uotng uriven
foot by foot, and that whon wo break
onco moro the lino will go to picces and
tho cneniy will pour through tho gap.
Horo coracs hclp.
Down a crowdcd highway gallops a
battcry withdrawn from somo othor
position to savo ours. Tho ilelJ fenco
is scattcred whilo you could count
thirty, and tho gutis rush for tho liilla
boyond us. Over dry ditches whoro a
former would not drivo a wagon,
through clumps of bushcs, ovor logs a
foot tnick, ovcry horso on tho gallop,
cvory rider lashing his teatn and yoll
tng, the sight bchind us mado us forgct
tho foo in lront. Tho guns jump two
feot high as tho hcavy wheels striko a
rouk or log, but not a horso slackcns
his pace, not a canuoncer losos his
seat. Six guns, six calssons, slxty
horscs, eighty nicu, raco for tho brow
of tho hill, as if he who should reach it
tlrst would bo knighted.
A niomont ago tho battery was acon
fueed mob. Wo looked again and tho
tix guus aro in position, tho detachcd
horses hurtying away, tho ammunltion
chests opon, and along our lino runs
the command:
" Qive them one moro vollcy and fall
back to support tho guns." Wo havo
scarcely obeyed when booml booml
opens tho battory, and jots of flro jump
down and Bcorch tho trces under which
wo foutrht and desnaircd.
The shnttered old bricado has a
chance to breathe for tho flrst timo in
three hours as wo form a lino and lio
down. What grim, cool fellows thoso
cnnnoncors aro. Every nian is a por
fec. machino. Bullcts splash dust in
thoir faces, but they do uot wince.
liullcts eing over and around; they do
not dodge. There goes ono to tho
earth, sliot through tho head as ho
sponged his gun. That machincry
lo8e8just ono belt, raisses just one cnp
in tho wheels, and thon works away
again as boforo.
Eyery gun is using short fuse shell.
Tho ground shakes and trcmbles, the
roar shuts out all sound from a line
three miles long, and tho sholls go
shrieking into tho swamp to cut trees
short off, to mow great gaps in the
bushcs, hunt out and shattor and mnn
glo mei until thoir corpsos cannot be
rccognized as human. You would
thiuk a tornado was howling through
the forest, followed by billows of flre,
and yet men livc through it, nye, press
forward to capturo the b&ttery. Wo can
hear their shouts as tboy form for the
rueh.
Now tho shells are changcd for grapo
and canister, and guns aro Qrod so fast
all roports blcnd into one mighty roar.
Tho shriok of a shell is tho wickodest
sound iu war, but nothiug makes the
ilesh crawl like the demonincal singing,
purriug, whistling grapo shot and the
serpent-liko hias of canistor.
alen's hends and legs aro torn from
bodies and bodicscut in two. A rouud
shot or shell takes two men out of the
ranks as it crashos through. Grapo and
canister mow a swath and pilo tho doad
on top of each other.
Through tho smoko wo seo a swarm
of men. It is uot a battlo line, but a
mob of mon desperato onough to batho
thoir bayonets in the flamoof tho guuB.
Tho guns leap from tho ground almost
as tlioy aro dcpresscd on tho too, and
shrieks and screams aud shouts blond
into ono awful and steady cry. Twonty
men out of the battory aro down, and
tho Qring is intorruptod. Tho foo ac
ccpt it as a sign of wavering, aud como
rushing on. They aro not ten feet
away whon tho guns give them tho
last shot. Tho diechargo picks living
men off their feot and throws thoru into
the swamp, a blockenod, bloody mass.
Up, now, as tho cneniy aro among
tho guns. Thoro is a silenco of ten
seconds, and thon tho tlnsh and tho
roar of more than 3,000 muBkots and a
rush forward with bayonets. For whnt?
Neithcr on tho right nor loft, nor in
frout of us, is a living fool Thero aro
corpses around us that havo been
struck by three, four and ovon six bul
lcts, and nowhero on this acro of
ground is a woundod man. Tho wheels
of tho guns cannot movo until tho
hlockado of dend is romoved. Mon
cannot pns from cdisson to gun with
out climbing over windrows of dead.

Somo Boldiers can sny of their oxpo
rienco in tho war, " I novor got a
scratch," but I dld got a scratch, and I
novor will forget it. I was down near
Dallns, Ga. Vo woro on picket, two
nt n post, and atrctchcd nlong tho lino
of nn old hedgerow, whoro thoro had
onco beou a rail fence. It was about
ten o'clock in tho foreuoon. I was ac
counted a protty good shot, aud so ono
of my comrados camo to mo and taid I
had an opportuuity of proving ray
markamauBhip if I wantod to, for ho
couM Beo somo robols n inilu distnut.
Wo wero partly concoaled by tho hcdge
tow lu front, but looking through I
plainly dlscovorodagroup of rcbels,and
nslt waa thon thofashiou loshoot robels
on sight, I sont a bullot lu thoir mldst,
Tiioro waa somo constomatlon visiblo,
but whcthor anybody was hurt or not
I dou't know. About half att hour of
terward I was torrifled by tho stlng of
a bullot on my chook and tho roport of
a gun not two hundred ynrds in front.
Whou I rocovored my compoauro and
was ablo to gathor in tho situation, I
found that a robol had cnwlod up on
ub as nonr as ho darod, and taking good
aim at my hoad had pullcd tho triggor.
lt sccms that tho bullet struck a small
sassafras, glancing tho bullet, but cnr
rying somo bark and spllntors into my
chcek. It was thtis I got a scratch. It
wna thought that ray bullot had dono
somo mlschlef on the othor rcbel and
caused somo cxaspcrallon. Tho robol
crawlcd back as ho camo, and for tho
timo bolng I had no dlsposltion to run
aftor him. Exchango.
