GOVERNOR MKlNLEY on WILDCAT MONEY.
"There is one thing which this country
caunot afford to trihe with, and that is
It's money--its measure of value-the
money which passes among its people
in return Tor their labor aud the pro.
duets of their toll or OF their land.
There is no contrivance which is so sue
ccssful in cheating labor and robbing
the poor people OF the country as an
unstable, worthless and easily counter
feited currency. With our present
paper moneythe citizen or the business
man does not have to carry with him
bank note detector; he does not need to
concern himself lest the bank shall
fail; il tho note is genuine, it is good,
and always good, for its face value. The
money Of this country should be as ma
tionai as its flag, as sacred as the ma
tional honor, and as sound as the gov
eminent itself"
1t should be remembered that Will
lam L. Wilson, West Virginia's most
distinguished Democratic leader, is adj
vocating the state bank platform of the
Democratic party in his speeches this
year.
