Eat Money.

The term is almost obsolete all

than 90 days it will be six feet deep

one more kick a. it before it is foro

mand, order, decree. The wild peo-
pie in favor of this stuff want the
government to "coin money out OF
paper" That is the whole of it
Any man ought to see that if so, the
government can make money out OF
anything, But experience and CONS
mon sense teach that paper money can
never be any account unless it carries

S. worth of labor must be

heavy discount, if it would even
'ass at all, and when you get bad
currency in circulation, it always

The Afghanistan Trouble.

There seems TO be no means of stop
ping trouble between England and
Russia. Both have half their Empi-
res in Europe and half in Asia, but
Russia's. halves join eachother and
Euglands thousands of miles apart
England seems determined that Rus
STA shall not get between her two
halves aud Russia has no other way
of reaching access to the world. The
The Turkish trouble his not been
wisely settled and therefore is not set
tied at all. Now there is dark cloud
over Afghanishan, which promises
"speedily to become battle field be-
tween these two giants. If Russia can
possess Afghanistan, her Empire will

England in her rich est possession. In

Away up in "the Eendiany" at the
town of Mt, Vernon, four negroes
were lynched, by hanging. 1t seems
that these with three others, seven all
told, raped four white women at q
house OF i'll fame. So these things are
not confined to the solid South.

has held its last exhibition. This we
do not believe. The people of Wythe
do not mean to let it die we hope.

a very creditable effort in his attack
on Richmond. but when Richmond
replied | saw it was more complete

To The Voters of The 9th
Congressional District
of Virginia.
FELLOW CITIZENS /:

According to the usual custom
which has become a law to the Con-
sentative party, that party, through
its representative men, appointed by
the people, met in Convention in
the town of Wytheville, on the 9Th
day of August last, for the purpose OF
nominating a candidate to represent
the people of the 9th Congressional
District of Virginia in the 10th Con-
gress Of the United States. That
Convention selected me as its standard
bearer, and on the day succeeding my
nomination l entered vigorously upon
the work and prosecuted it with all the
energy and ability of my nature, full
ly intending to meet the people at every
public place in every county in this
Congressional District, but, before l
had completed the canvass in the 9TH
county, l was Frustrated with ChillS
and fever, which rendered me unable
to fill many of my appointments and,
as | cannot now visit all sections of
the country and discuss the questions
involved in this canvass before the
whole people, l have concluded to adj
dress you this circular-letter, setting
forth my views in plain and unvar-
nished manner.
The first, and most important issue,
is money. Money we want, money
we need, and money we must have in
order that the languishing industries
of trade and commerce may be reviv-
ed that the property and products of
the farmer may bring remunerative
prices, and the laborer find employ
ment at living wages. Gold and silver
are the standard of all values in the Uni
