EST PROSPERITY THE ISSUE Which is. Bf Overshadowing Importance, Says Gov. Roosevelt at Detroit. North Carolina Disfranchise ment Spoken i . If Democrats are Sincere P ey Must Denounce This. Would Iavite Disaster to Give Brvan the Election. TO UNDO THE WORK OF THE ADMINISTRATION WOULD BE TO DISHONOR THE NATIONAL REP UTATION AND THROW US INTO INDUSTRIAL CHAOS. Detroit, Sept. 6. -Governor Roosevelt arrived liere today in the special coach Minnesota, accotnpaniied by Hon. John Proctor Clark, of New York. A com mittee of about 150 Detrcdters met the governor's train at Essex, Ont., and escorted .him to the city . A magnifi cent sihield was presented to Governor. Roosevelt by General Duffl-.eld, chair man of the welcoming committee. A public reception was held in the Hotel Cardilac this afternoon and Gov ernor Roosevelt addressed a large mass meeting tonight. His speech was as fol lows: , "In this campaign the issue of over shadowing importance is whether we shall, con tfnue or abandon the govern mental "policy which has .brought this country to the highest pitch of prosper ity at home, and which has kept the national honor unstained both at home .and abroad. To deliberately undo the work would .be to -dishonor the. national reputation and to . throw us into dreadful industrial chaos. The Kan sas City platform deliberately commits our opponents to a policy which means material disaster and moral disgrace; which means a violent panic in the business world, and therefore wide spread and prolonged misery among all our people; which further means up setting the courts, the violation of the nation's faith in financial matters, and the unworthy abandonment of our duty abroad . If you think I am using strong lan guage let me read you from Mr. Carl Schurz's speech in Chicago, Septem ber 5, 1896, in which he says: "And at what price will the ultimate result be gained in case of Mr. Bryan's election? At the orice of the most vi lent and destructive .crisis on record, such 'a cri'sis as can only be brought on by a sudden subversion of the stand ard of values and of the whole business credit. At the price of indefinite busi ness paralysis and distress. At the price of ruthless spoliation of the sav ings accumulated by the toiling mass es. At the price of robbing our war veterans of half the value of their pen sions. At the price of greatly mcreas- ' ing the number of unemployed byidts couraging enterprise and of curtailing the value of wages of those remairniner at work. At the price of the respect of the world for our intelligence and prac tical sense. And worse, far worse, than all this, at the price cf something that has never been forfeited since this re public was -born at the price of the greatest good a nation o?n pos;ecs fT the preservation of - which it shouH shed its last drop of blood at the price of our national honor. For this nation, so rich and powerful, would stand be fore the world as a wanton, reckless repudiator, as nothing better than a ' fraudulent bankrupt. This will be the cost of the experiment. Are you will ing to pay this price? "Now, mind you, the platform on which Mr. Bryan stood in 1896 has been reaffirmed without the alteration of a letter and with an explicit reaf firmation of the free silver plank to which Mr. Schurz particularly refer red. Mr. Schurz told the exact truth in his scathing speech of 1896, and therefore what he said then Is of course , Valuable Mineral Property. v One hufiudired acre tract on Tur key creek, containing large de posits of magnetic iron ore. iWorthj Itihe Investigation of amy one having necessary capital far development, as it possesses great Dooalhdlltles.

In this cam-' paign the issues involved strike at the root of our prosperity and national honor. If the American people are true to themselves they must In the most unequivocal manner repudiate the pop ullstic and communistic doctrines, enunciated in the Kansas City platform exactly as they repudiated them in '96. The existence of any considerable par ty which affirms and reaffirms these doctrines is in itself a serious menace to the nation's moral and material wel fare, and we have a right ta appeal to every far-sighted and patriotic man, whatever his politfcal affiliations in the past, from no -matter what section of the counjtry he comes, to stand with us in this struggle for national integ rity. . LESSONS OP THE PAST.' "We have a right to insist upon both wisdom and sincerity in the leaders of any party who appeal for popular con fidence. Now let us see if we can trust the wisdom of our present -opponents by comparing their prophecies in '96 with the actual events since. "In 1896 Mr. Bryan insisted that 'plutocracy was on one side and democ racy on the other' (speech of October 17), and that if he was beaten 'the wage worker could not prosper.' Well, as a matter of fact the wage worker during the past four years has prospered as never before, and the same is true of all our citizens'. On September 19 of that year Mr. Bryan said: 'If we are defeated in this campaign there is nothing before the people but four years more of hard times and greater agitation.' That statement carries with it its own reply. Have the last four years been easier or harder than the three years preceding? You know well enough that they have been in finitely better; and it is the republican party which has restored prosperity for it has secured the Conditions which gave free play to enterprise and thrift. Mr. Bryan continued in the same speech: 'Do you think we have drain ed the cup of sorrow to its dregs? No, my friends, you cannot set a limit to the presfent hard times.' But, as a matter of fact, they did set a limit, for the limit was set as soon as Mr. Bry an's defeat was secured; and the limit would be instantly removed if he were now elected. We would all return at once into the very condition fr m which the election of President MeKLin ley rescued us four years ago. "In the same speech Mr. Bryan said: 'The republican party today produces a policy which makes hard times. All those who ' love hard times ought to vote for the republican ticket, and, all those who are tired of hard times have got to vote the democratic ticket if they would expect any relief.' Now, as I have said before, what Mr. Bryan promises should be judged by the way the past events have squared with his prophecy. The event showed that vot ing for the republican ticket put an end to hard times. You need not take my word for this. You need only consider the condition of yourself and your neighbors now as compared with the time when we were all paralyzed by the threat of Mr. Bryan's remedies. PREDICTED HARD TTMES. Two days afterward Mr. Bryan said: 'Remember if you continue the present conditions you will have nobody to blame except yourself for four years more of hard times,' and 'if you want this sort of thing then prepare your selves to gTin and bear it without com plaining for four years moire.' On Oc tober 13, he said: 'These are hard times but they will be harder yet df te gold standard continues,' and on October 26 he prophesied: 'Until you have bimet allism, mill hands will stand on the corner and wonder when the gold standard will bring them good times.' j Again, I have only to ask you to com- j pare our actual conditions now with I what Mr. Bryan then said our condi- ! tion would surely be. "We have been hearing a good deal recently of Mr. Bryan's statement that he wanted 'to put the man before the dollar and not the dollar before the man. mere are certain conditions to which such a statement might apply, but it cannot possibly apply to the j present conditions. As things are now, it can best be compared with Mr. Bry an s otner statement or csepternuer x, 1896, in which he denounced the gold standard as a 'robber' dollar. One statement means just as much as the other, and no more. Instead of bother ing about whether the man is ahead of the dollar or the dollar ahead of the man, or whether the gold dollar is a robber' whatever that may mean or anything else preposterous, let us fix our attention on the fact that the pol- ' icy followed for the last three years has j resulted in bringing the man and the j dollar together. That is what a man really wants with a dollar. He is not interested in any flight of fancy as to whether he is behind or in front of the t dollar. He wants to get hold of it, aid when he has got hold of.it re wants to find it worth a hundred cents, and not forty-eight cents. When a man can get hold of a dollar he is its master, and when he cannot get hold of it then he cannot master it. At present we give the wage worker work, and we provide that he is paid full value for his work. That is the only practical way to bring the man and the dollar together on terms which will give the man the advantage, and the fact of having actually carried out the policy which secured this, of having done the deeds which produced these conditions, is worth to the laboring man ten thous and, times -more thatT . all ;the , fine; rjbra8es,t'Hajcan yerfitTiUeref as lo some, wholly 4maglnyf precedency ft? 1 f- ! m v '' " 'u-.ii iK A ?

Tbickf .Simmons Law a Good and Just One. Major Moody Snows that in the Pre cincts Where Fraud was Charged by :?;thev Republicans, Their Majorities were lhcreased in the Last Election. Andrews, Sept. 5. Mr. Moody re turned last evening and. Mr. Crawford this morning from Robbinsville, and held-- their second jont debate in the gcovybesdde the school house here, the crowd being too large for the school house". Even out of doors and under the trees the heat was trying to both speakers and audience. Mr. Crawford opened today by say ing and he had been a candidate before the people for a number of years and still represented the same old prin ciples, and he reiterated the state ment of the day before that the con vention that nominated ihim was rati fying public opinion; that the party could not nominate anyone else and no one thought of anyone else. "I believe that the democratic party should be entrusted with power. I be lieve that I should be returned to the seat to which I thought and everyone thought I was elected. The returns were canvassed by the proper author ities. I got my certificate of election from' the republican governor and I sat in congress seven months. But I was in a set of robbers who threw me out. (Here he showed his biblical learning! if nothing more, by relating the story of the good Samaritan.) The commitfee that reported in favor of this infamous outrage heard the evi dence dwn in a dark cellar where the electric lights glared day and night and when tliey had reported that gang of robbers jjthrew me out. After, saying there never was a fairer election in the history! f jtlhe country, and no man, re publican democrat, suspected there would be a contest toe added: , VI.no,' the usa-pere carefullyFlor I had been told there would be a con test." The democratic "party charge the house of representatives with polit ical rascality in that contest. The re publicans endorse it. "Moody is for war. I am for peace. Soldiers are poor men and they cannot desert if they wish to. It means death or the penitentiary. "What do we want of the Philip pines? Anglo-Saxons cannot live within twenty degrees of the equator. The Philippine Tslands lie within twenty degrees on each side of the equator. "I am in favor of withdrawing our troops and letting the islands take care of themselves. "MoKinley put soldiers under the control of the German emperor to fight in China. That is imperialism." Mr. Moody followed and said that Crawford is singing the same old dem ocratic song. It is gray headed and Crawford has almost grown gray head ed singing it. "He begs you to-give him Fomething: when his record is against him. Crawford is the first man I have ever heard who dared to call the house of representatives a gang of thieves. Mr. Crawford, do you want to teach these 'boys that you want to go to Washing ton to join a band of thieves? They have been taught that a seat in con gress is one of the highest honors to which an American citizen could rise. Crawford advocated the amendment which, according to his own showing, will disfranchise every unfortunate il literate after 1908. He asked the sup port of the people here in these moun tains dn this great white belt of the state. Did they give it? No, they gave a majority of 2,821 against it. It was the black counties that gave majorities for it, majorities in some cases greater than the entire white vote of all the county. Crawford knew his seat was to be contested. I knew it and every republ can in the district knew it. I do not charge Crawford personally with fraud but the men at the 'ballot boxes were cnarged and they were convicted f oneress. the ausnisf tribunal nrovid ed by the constitution, voted after all the evidence had' been heard, and you know how they voted.

If the cry of fraud was falsely raised in -your precinct would you not rebuke the party that raised it? At Big Ivy where bribery and for gery were charged and proved our ma jority at that election was only 11; at the next election the majority of Mr. Adams, our candidate for governor, was 81 and I want to say that Jim Moody's majority will be 125. At Marble, where the democratic judge who stuffed the ballot foox, said: "I have done that before," the ma- j jority there was 21; at the next election j it was 53. At Limestone it was 108, then lo0. At Old Fort it was 126 to 149. At South Waynesville the democratic majority was cut from 236 to 195. In every one of the precincts our Vote was increased. I want to give yoit the history of expansion, of what Crawford calls imperialism. The history of true 'democracy in the government of the United States is a history of expansion and addition to our territory. Thomas Jefferson, the founder of the democratic party, and one of the greatest philosophers of any age on economic questions, was called an "imperialist," when he, in 1803, pur chased from the French government, through Napoleon the Great what was then known as the Louisiana territory and gave for it the sum of fifteen mill ion dollars. Out of that territory has been erected with their illimitable wealth, the great states of Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Minnesota, Notth Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, , Washington, Nebraska, Kansas, Idaho and most of Colorado. This was the first act of expansion ty our government and was brought about an'd successfully accomplished in the administration of its first demo cratic president. In 1819, under Mr. Monroe, another democratic president, our government purchased from Spain all that territory now constituting the great state of Florida, and paid therefor a handsome sum. The annexation of Texas was in 1845, during Mr. Polk's administration, and during his administration our armies marched to the ancient capital of the Montezumas, conquered Santa Anna, ended the Mexican war In favor of the American people and in the treaty of peace acquired from the Mexican gov ernment for $1,000,000 that vast ex panse of tT-ritory which now, includes the rich ana terttle states of Califconla, Nevada, Utah and a part of Colorado, as well as the" territories of New Mex ico and Arizona, with the exception of the Gadsden purchase, which was oc- ( Continued on fifth page.)

Russia has re ceived the replies of the powers to her projiosition for withdrawal fiom Pekin and her plan -has not met with- favor. The text of these answers went to St. Petersburg, but 'the United States was advised today of their contents through its representatives abroad. Germany was the last to be heard from. While not agreeing with Russia the attitude of the powers is uniformly of a concili atory character, though in some cases, notably that of( Germany, it is emphatic for a continuation of the occupation of Pekin. In view of tthis condition the gov ernment is preparing a note to the pow ers, reiterating in the main its former declarations and offering a plan for fu ture concerted action based on the as sumption thalt Russia will be willing to recede from her position for the sake of harrtfony.
