Williamsburg Journal-Tribune (Newspaper) - November 2, 1900, Williamsburg, Iowa THE WILLIAMSBURG JOU fcA VOLUME IOWA NOVEMBER NUMBER If he 16 to J Question J x BY In Farvo came forth again with a long letter In the last JOURNAL is very acceptable to those that in the socialistic theory and per deducting the elements of social i his article there Is nothing nothing that beara on the of 16 to There was a mountain once in they and uttered a most dreadful People came to ga far and to see what birth would be and after they had waited a considerable time In out crept a So it is with In Great little h Following In we have a few words by James with a ready made baked and cooked in the imagination of one of our to be scattered abroad before the with the purpose of scandalizing and disgracing our brave boys who are righting our battles in the Philippine Islands To say that the army author procured and introduced bad women to our soldiers is an utter false While this scandalous talk is the most pleasing thing in the sight of Aguinaldo and his it is a sting in the hearts of our gallant that face every hardship and defend the rights and honor of our Let be acquaint with the last words of General ton on this Instead of ing our men that suffer for we ought to hold their arms up they are there voice of the ma and the sanction of the congress they are there to serve their country and we expect them to be to do their as they haye done If they would run away and leave the Is land when Aguinaldo attacked and fired on be a song of re proach to all the and the voice of James Nicholas and his party would be the loudest to condemn Suppose that there is one bad char acter in every hundred among our troops is it right to brand the whole army with debauchery No fair man would ever do such a Never was a large army in the field yet without some bad characters among them but there is no just and sensible man in the world who would condemn the whole army for the misconduct of the James Nicholas was once a great ad mirer of Republican He named two of his Arthur and in honor of our and secretary of but in the course of poor Jim was very badly twist ed on the road and since that time he sees everything upside every thing in the wrong Poor fellow But we leave him and In Parvo to their fate of and pursue our The free coinage of silver at the ra 16 to and the silver dollar to stand upon its owa intrinsic to be a legal tender for all contracted as the gold dollar basis at pres ent Is based on fraud with the very purpose of depriving the creditors of half of their and every man that will the party that advo cates such a system is void of No man can do such a thing and be a because righteousness is one of the fundamental principles of Christ The price of silver bullion in the market of the world last month was 56 cents an There are 480 grains in an ounce of silver and there are 371 Ji grains of pure silver in our present silver so the reader can see that intrinsic value of our pres ent silver dollar is only 48 For convenience we will call it BO To pass 50 cents under the claim of 100 cents is a fraud that no man with a grain of sympathy for the truth can What untold misery and dis tress will follow the passing of such an The goddess of confidence would fly from our midst class would be set against class and If a house be divided against that house cannot said our Discord would take the place of har and the place of pros Our honor would be turned into a reproach arid the char of the American people would be disgraced in the sight of all the civilized If God meant to punish the American there could be no mode more effective than to bind them to vote for with his rotten Free coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1 would impair all existing contracts and and that to the constitution of the United On section 10 of the first article of the con it says that no state shall pass a law impairing the obligation of con In the Democratic convention of when the free coinage of silver was David Hill of New York offered an amendment that all existing got to stand and be paid according to the basis of gold which was voted So it is clear that the object of this scheme is robbery and nothing The ob ject of every just law is to compel the people to deal fair and just with one another but to pass a law which gives the people a privilege to rob one an other would be a disgrace and a curse on our But we have such a faith in the integrity and of the that when this ques tion shall be brought before them in the election next that they will spurn and dispel this rotten theory to the sea of never again in the American and shall be buried in with it far deeper than he was ia In the election of our wise and brave ley next the party will vindicate the faithfulness and glory of our govern The principles of the American people are now in the furnace of and they will come out through the near election more pure and bright than ever In order for the people to deal just and fair with each it is indes pensable for us to have one staple standard of value as well as one stand ard of weight and one standard of To make this mater more clear to the understanding of the we will offer him this Suppose there are three men living in the neighborhood of of the name Pat Murphy and Howell the Dean is very has a large much stock and abundance of One day in the he camo to the conclusion to shell bis corn and haul it to because the price was very I and according to the he asked the help of his among others that came to the was Pat Murphy and he asked say ing I have 50 head of but no feed for and the price of pork is good as you Can you be so accomodating as to loan me a thousand bushels of corn for one and I Will pay it back with ten percent that I one year from haul back to eleven hundred bushel of sound and good said If that will be of any help to I can let you have Thank said It will be at of advantage to So the corn was hauled to Pat instead of the Then Howell the was there helping He was in the same con dition as his and he also ask ed Dean for the same privilege as Pat which was granted on the same So both of them had a thousand bushel of shelled 56 pounds to the The earth rolled on its course with the usual ever and providence down her blessing on the neigh with abundance of The year was wound up and the time was due for the men to haul the corn to Dean but the standard of meas ure was changed during the by the Democratic Instead of 56 pounds to the it was cut down to 28 of what it was year Pat Murphy commenced to haul his and he hauled 550 according to the old and said You have your corn the contract is said you haul half what you promised and what is due to Do you not know that the stand ard of measure is changed I know Pat but do you go to take tage of that unrighteous law to cheat me out of half of my I dont care about said it is my and wont haul you one grain very well said never show your face to me anymore for help or any You pay me evil for as all the devils children always So the chord of harmony and good feeling was broken forever between them and Pat Murphy went under the ac of his and from there to the town saloon for the devils remedy to soothe Then Howell the commenced to haul his corn to and kept at it till he hauled eleven hundred bushel according to the old standard of 56 pounds to the Dean was then calm he did not utter a word about it till Howell was through with his Then he said do know that the standard of measure is changed Yes said Howell but I am not going to take advantage of that to rob you of your I Just hauled back to you what was right and due and no said you are a Christian a man of and the very neighbor that I like to have anything that I can do for you in the way of III do it willingly all that I is at your com I thank you Dean from the very bottom of my heart for good said Howell and they parted in a cordial knot of friendship and happy good Pat Murphy went on from bad to worse his name was despised in the and soon he found him self without means or But the name df Howell the Good was as fragrance in the his credit was unquestionable and his sucess was as the rising Dean represented the weal thy class of the Pat Murphy is the symbol of with the free coinage of 16 to and Howell the is the emblum of with the staple gold standard and the ever lasting principles of Those that are of the same principals of Pat will vote for and those that are of the same principals as Howell the will vote for Mc the two one leads to distress and the other to prosperity and Take the one you THE McKINLEY are told that this is a time of unprecedented pros and that the wise and judicious administration of president McKinley made it We are also told of the starvation prices of the Cleveland ad It is to bad that it is necessary to repute the silly idea that the president controls prices but as the republican party is making the fight and expects
