medicines. The father and mother
were married OIL the l4th Of Octo-
Der. They have had nine children.
all Of whom were born on the l4th
OF October. Five Of the nine are
dead, and. strange TO say, every sin
gle one of them breathcd his last on
the fateful 18th day of October.
The name Of the head of the family
is Joshua Franklin. lie was
Confederate soldier, and was cap
tured twice and had two brothers
killed in the war between the States.
All four Of these mishaps and mis-
fortunes Of war occurred on the
memorable l4th day OF October.
In the ncighborhood where the
Franklin family live, and, in fact,
for miles outside Of their imme-
diate latitude. the "Frnklius Of
Glade mountain" are looked upen

ure upon our statue pooks; BY the un-
varying policy pursued by the treasury
department OF Government under
eltner Republican or Democratic ad-
ministrations; and by the present atti'
tude Of the most distinguished leaders
OF either party, all of whom are either
silent upon this most vital question or
are the avowed advocates OF a restricted
volume Of money.
II is an incoDvertible fact, that the
decree Of the congressional cancus that
shapes our financial legislation is but
the mandate OF the power that by sys-
tematic exercise OF its potent influence
upon ambitious political leaders has for
centuries controlled the money issue OF
civilized nations.
The power that commanded the de-
moretization Of silver in the United
States upon the discovery OF the silver
deposits Of the Rocky mountains, is the
same power that upon the discovery OF
the gold fields Of California and Aus
tralia caused the demonetization Of that
metal by the government OF Germany,
Belgium and other European nations.
Its interests demand q restricted vol
ume OF money, which necessarily proves
injurious to the prosperity Of all other
members Of society.
Fellow citizens: That this great
power will willingly surrender its pres
ent advantages is not to be expseted.
Only by the ballots OF free people cast
for men who are not fettered by parti
san chains 70 either OF the two existing
political organizations, can its fatal in.
