The first class to suffer the ill effects
of an initiation of currency Is the iabour-
ing class. For wages never keep pace
with prices when prices are on the rise.
Labour in Initiation times is the cheapest
thing in market after the money. This
is one of the reasons why the rich will
grow richer and the poor poorer if the
greenbackers triumph.
A cheap currency always drives good
money out of circulation. This is what
will happen if the Greenbackers have
their way. Gold and Silver will forsake
the country and greenbacks will soon
become as worthless as Confederate
notes. They were based on the "faith"
of the government, you know.

Highland and Bath Counties.


The following is taken from the first
annual report of the Commissioners OF
Agriculture of the State of Virginia;
Hightoaed COUNTY was formed in 1916,
from Pendleton and Bath 1t is 80 miles
long by about % broad. This is an ele-
waited, mountainous region, adapted
chiefly to grazing and pasturing The
soil is mainly limestone, and produces
good crops of corn, wheat, rye, buck
wheat, and all the grasses. The number
Of acres Of land is 80, lGd, assessed at
81, 0l3, 7Sa. 1t has ,94f horses and mules,
1872 cattle, S,720 sheep and :, S25 swine.
Population, 4, ISL.
There is no limit to the meat produc-
ing capacities of this county. All the
lands produce grass as soon as the tim.
Der is taken oil; without seeding. There
is no place where a living is more easily
made and where people enjoy more of
ease end leisure The health OF this
county is excellent. Valuable timber
abounds, but not yet very accessible to
markets. The Washington City and
st Louis Narrow Gauge railroad. which
is being constructed by way OF fridge
water, Monterey, in Highland county,
and on through West Virginia, its ulti-
mate point being st. Louis, will run
through this county.
Bath County was formed in 1871 from
Augusta, Rotetourt and Greenhrier. It
is about Sc miles long, and "a broad 1t
is watefed by the water sources Of the
James, the Cow Pasture and Jackson
rivers. Most of the county is mountain
Gus, with many fertile valleys. 1t has
500. 35l acres of land, valued at 81, IA $3.50;
and . population offs, 795. The farm an.
imals are. Horses, 1nuies, &C, 1926
cattle, 1853; sheep, 5,l2l; hogs, 2,a2S.
The soil is aliuvial OH the river, de-
composed slate and sandstone on the
high lands. The productions are corn,
wheat, oats, and the grasses; beef cattle,
horses, and pork. Our correspondents
give the price Of lands at g. to So for
improved, and 81 to S. for unimproved
lands: There are many valuable min
erals in Bath, but they have not been
developed to any considerable extent
Iron ores are found in large quantities.
The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad pasaes
through the county. The Hot spring,
Warm springs, Alum, ana Healing
springs, of this county have high re-
putation for the excellence of their min
eral waters.
