We heara good deal about the pres.
ent enormous volume of currency"
1t is large.
We have money enough, and why?
1t is due more than any one thing
to the reconciliation of silver and
the retention of the greenbacks.
If the memorable fight which the
Democrats made for the restoration
of silver toour currency had not been
successful; and if their persistent eff.
forts to maintain it and the green.
backs had not been successful, there
would still be a stringency in the
money market. Subtract the sll9,.
100000 of silver from our currency or
the 1925, 100000 of paper, and we
would have Il dearth.
In other words, the Democrats have
done with silver and paper what the
Greenbackers wanted to do with sill.
yer alone-made the volume of cur.
rency equal to the necessities of the
country.
The Democratic and Greenback
policy with reference to the UoIume.
has always been in harmony. The
difference has been only in the means
and methods Of securing the neoessa-
ny volume.
The Democrats and Greenbackers
have together overcome the policy of
the Republican oddities, and together
achieved the most valuable victory
in the annals of our financial fights,
In thus increasing the volume Of our
currency.
The main issue upon which the
Greenback party sprung into life was
accomplished and its mission yirtu.
ally ended when silver was restored
to our currency and the cancellation
Of the greenbacks prevented. That
is to say, they have, with the aid of
the Democratic party, succeeded in
maintaining a volume equal to our
wants.
And The Democrats and Greenback-
ers constitute today, the strength
and support upon which our volume
of currency is maintained. Let them
divide on this policy and the Repub.
llcan policy get the ascendency, and
our silver mines would depreciate;
our minis would stand idle; silver
would be gradually eliminated from

w. p. & g. RAILROAD.

We have been shown the agree
ment containg the names of the Syn.
dictate to build the W. P. & C. r. r.
This Syndicate is composed without
exception Of solid men of capital,
most of them of widely known repu-
tation financially. 1t is seldom that
such combination of strong names
is brought together in one enterprise
and it is only fair to say that there
are few men in the State besides Mr..
Camden that could have gotten up
such aSyndicate. In the disappoint.
ment occasioned by the announce
ment some months since that the
formation Of the Syndiate had been
temporarily postponed for the reas,
ons then given, many persons were
disposed to criticise unkindly Mr..
Ca,nden's good faith in the matter,
which he bore good naturally, and
the result shows that he knew what
he was about. The fact is that Mr..
Camden's good faith and sincerity in
all his transactions have been his
chief characteristic, and in this in
stance he has shown it by becoming
u large subscriber in the syndicate.
The road will be put under con.
tract from Wheeling to Parkersburg
as soon as all the preliminaries can
be arranged and the right of way
completed. The syndicate is formed
upon the basis that the right of way
will be furnished. Vice.President
Thompson informs us that the free
right of way has already been obtain
ed for little over two.thirds of the
distance between Wheeling and Par.
kersburg, through the most valuable
bottom lands, and that the subscrip.
tion made by Wheeling, Parkersburg
and other points, is supposed to be
sufficient to obtain the balance of the
right Of way, mostof which will have
to be condemned.
1t is to be hoped now that the
means has been secured through the
exertions Of Senator Camden to build
the road, and the assurance given
that it will be placed under contract,
with the expectation that it will be
completed and running between
Wheeling and Parkersburg by the
first of October next, unless delay
ed by the right of way-that every
one along the line will take an inter.
est in aiding the completion of the
right of way. Let no selfish consid-
erations stand in the way of the road.
If it is necessary to proceed by con-
domination, let it be done promptly,
and let the jury fix fair compensa-
ton, taking into consideration all
the advantages Of the road. Those
persons who have given the right of
way deserve great credit for their
public spirit, and it is to be hoped
that those from whom the right of
way has not yet been obtained will
exhibit the same public spirited lib,
erality.-RCgieter.

Hon. III. G. Davis.

We regret to see a disposition on
the part of some Of the Democratic
papers Of this part of the State tc
want to retire Senator Davis.
Mr.. Davis has been in active pub
lie life for several years, and during
all the long years he has served our
people in the United States Senate,
not one word Of reproach can be ut.
against him as an official or as q pri.
vate citizens. He has been faithful
in all things. He has the confidence
Of the people of this State; and is
respected by all the Departments at
Washington,
Senator Davis is expanding his
wealth in this State to develop our
resources, and @e rejoice that he has
got it to spend.
When a man is so earnest in his
desires to help our State, and in a
position where can do the State good
we should keep him there, no mat,
ter who wants to fill his seat in the
United States Senate.
We are for the reelection of Mr.
Davis, and we believe the next leg.
islature will return him to the Sen.
ate.
Geographical locations has nothing
to do with the selection of a United
States Senator, all that is necessary
to know, is he Democrat, and hon.
est and capable.
Such a man is Senator Davis
Such a man we want in the United
States Senate.

can scarcely find means Of expressing
their extreme qualification over the
result of the late State election
Their chickens are too small and the
English language too fat to tell all
their boisterouS joy. They imagine
they are again in possession of the

people have forgotten their past in
EQUITIES; that their ISLANDERS and mis-

their rotten party is once again in
favor with the free people of West

the reduced Democratic vote clean

Ohio, they would have bursted with
the awful delight of the occasion
And what smell would have follow

possible that all this joy is little
previous. We have no idea that the
people of West Virginia are tired of
their liberty; that they have forgot
ten how the minions of the Radical
party kept them in slavery and pow
erty by iniquitous legislation; that
they are blind to the corruption and
cxtortion which distinguishes that
party at all times; that they are
ready to exchange an honest and
economical Democratic Administra-
ton, untarnished by single steal or
a single misused trust, for an oppo-
site kind; or that they regard as
saints now those whom they right
fully accused of cruelty and vicious
ness ten years ago. No, the people
are opposed to Republicanism-to
its'men and its measures. 1t is a
pernicious growth that cannot thrive
in our soil. We see nothing in the
late election that indicates political
change. The fancied security and
lethargy of the Democracy, and the
organization and money of the enc

Republican gains" If Democrats
had supposed there was any danger
ahead, the uprising throughout the
State would have been such as has
not been known since the days of

Timber Resources Of West Wiz.

West Virginia is a mountainous
State, but when the land Is not too
steep for cultivation the soil is gen.
erous and yields abundantly, and
even in the summit OF the mountains
are some Of the finest stock farms in
the State, In those localities where
the limestone crops out, the famous
blue grass springs up spontaneously
and grows luxuriantly. But, next
to the iron and coal, the timber re-
sources stand if they do not take the
lead. Elk river, when its resources
are made accessible, will add mater.

Charleston, aud the whole Valley
This stream and the Gauley, which
with the New river forms the Kama,
wha, head in close proximity near
the summit of the Alleghanies, in
Pocahontas county, where is found
the best timber district in the State.
Here are immense areas Of Virgin
forest, covered with cherry, ash, su-
gar.maple, black and white birch,
hemlock, spruce, cucumber, white
and yellow poplar, chestnut, white
and yellow pine, and the different
varieties Of oak. The tops Of the
mountains are broad, and here the
black spruce grows to great size and
from fifty to seventy feet to the
limbs. Red cherry is very abundant
and along the streams poplar and oak
-aro also found in great quantities.
In these mountains where the alti-
tude reaches from 5000 to $500 feet,
the growth of timber has been COM
paratively slow, and hence its fibre is
compact; the cherry is free from gum,
and the spruce is remarkably fine
Careful examinations by competent
timber men place the average yield
Of merchantable timber per acre Of
the timber lands in Pocahontas at
10000 feet board measure. Many
acres will yield much more. Men
experienced in running timber, and
who have explored these regions, say
that the timber can be floated to the
market in the Gauley and the Elk
and their tributaries with compare.

streams can be reached from the
mountain tops by tramways down
the slopes which are in the most
cases very gradual. When we con-
slider the immense capital invested
in railways in Michigan, Wisconsin
and other northern States for the
purpose mainly of getting out the
pine timber, and lands are held, it is
surprising that these virgin forests
should nave remained untouched.
This condition of things, however,
cannot last. West Virginia is wax.

ward in the race. The Chesapeake
and Ohio Railway has changed the
rugged canyon Of New river into a
hive Of teeming industry in the man
ufacture Of coke, and the green slopes
of the Kanawha are black with the
output of coal. Saw-Inills and other
productive industries are apringing
up, and it will not be long before an
other iron link connecting the Ohio
with the seaboard will span the
mountains by the way Of Elk and
Ganley rivers, and the harvest of the
iudicious investor will come.-Souh.

The Republicans have become SO
alarmed at the utter hopelessness Of
their cause in New York that they
have abandoned that State and are
now concentrating all their efforts
on Pennsylvania and Virginia, but
this will avail them nothing, as they
will be overwhelmingly defeated in
both these States next Tuesday. 1t

be relieved from the rule of the Re.

take place next Tuesday will settle
the question. The chances of the
