Free Coinage

A correspondent asks for com
nonsense every day school expla-
nation OF the 1siver qaestion.' The
'ssilver question" at present L.
whether the mints of the United
State shall coin silver dollars
weighing 412l grams as freely a.
they coin gold money. Any owner
of gold bullion can take 1t TO the
mint and have it coined gold
money into gold twenty, ten, five,
two and half dollar gold peices at
hls option, and to any amount. The
same "freedom" is sought by the
SILVER men for the holders OF silver
bullion. The objection mede 10
this free coinage of silver is that
4125 grains OF silver are not worth
25.8 grains of gold as they once
were. In other words, the quantity
of silver 1t is proposed TO puI in the
silver doilar-whose coinage is to
De free-is not now worth 100 cents,
but is worth only IS cents All free
coinage bills make the silver dollar
of 4124 grains legal tender tol
debts of 100 cents-an obviously
unjust thing to do. If free coinage,
as advocates In Congress, meant
putting 100 cents, worth OF silver =
over $50 grains IN dollar, nobody
could object to it, but there is a
decided objection to making &c
cents worth of silver pass for 100
cents. The silver men insist on the
free coinage of the light dollar.
In view of the above facts, is not
the free coinage plank IN National
Democratic Platform, sound onef
There are more than sixty millions
OF people in the United States and
Of that number very few have silver
bullion for coinage purposes. The
most natural, humane thing for the
silver man to do is TO insist Oh the
free coinage Of the light dollar
Why2 Because he would thereby
gain thirty -four cents In every dol

hundred dollars. How much has
the South to coin2 This would
give the silver men monopoly,
and enrich the few. Democratic
doctrine is equal justice to all,

But they want to vote their sentiments,
and throw the vote away.
I'm willin to admit their right, and treat
each voter fair;
But this is not the time to b. shootin'

The peoples Party as they say, is
loaded down with good.
They want to eriticise the laws, and
change them if they could.
They want an honest leader, but they
make great mistake,
And get turn coat of man, that no one

But they'll stop and think before the time
and then they'll change their views

Or it's tariff but for revenue, and poor

He never strikes principle but what he

How Animals Bear Pain.

(Our Dumb Animals.)
One of the most pathetic things Is
the manner is which the anaimal
kingdom endares suffering, says a
writer IN the Florida Times Union.
Take horses, for instance, in battle,
and, after the first shock 81 a
wound, they make no sound. They
bear the pain with mute endurance,
and If at night you hear wild
groan from the battlefield, it comes
from their loneliness and loss of
that human companionship which
seems absolutely indispensable TO
the comfort of domestlcated
animals.
The dog will carry broken leg
for days wistfully but uncomplain-
jngly. The cat, stricken with club
or stone, or caught in some trap
from which ct gnaws it's way te
freedom, crawls to some secret
place and bears in silence PAN
which we could not endure. SheeI
and other cattle meet the thrust O
the butchers knife without sound
and even common poultry endure
intense agony without complaint.
The dove, shot unto death, nie'
to some far-off bough, and as 1t dies
the silence is unbroken save by the
patter on the leaves of its own llf.
blood. The wounded deer speed
to some thick brake, and In pitlfu
submission waits foI death.

rhe Nominees For Governor,

The Democratic objection to the head
Of the Republican ticket in West Vir-
rinia is that he is not q statesman Of
the magnitude Of Fleming and Mac
corkle, being Ionly an everyday bus
mess man.
Judge Fleming was a quiet gentleman
ON the bench when the Camden in
auence took him up for governor. He
had,cut no figure in state affairs.
Nj. MaeCorkle used to be a lawyer.
Later he has been a Spectator He
has never had any public prominence
whatever. He has made a pile Of
money recently and they love him for
the money he has made. By lucky
strokes he has in two or three years
piled up moro Of this world's goods
than Thomas E. Davis has got together
in thirty years Of unt1agging industry
backed by business sagacity far above
the average.
Mr.. MacCorkle was determined to
have the gubernatorial nomination;
and his friends point to him with pride
as q mar who stepped right ont Of the
ranks, risked $4,000 to get the nomina-
tion and will spend a much moro as
may be necessary to get the election.
Mr.. Davis was nominated for the state

The Republicans Of West Virginia are
to be congratulated on the results Of
their convention, They have nomina-

have entered enthusiastically upon the
work Of electing it.
The platform Is sound in all it's parts,
the tariff plank being without flaw or
defect. It gives a hearty endorsement
OF the national candidates, Harrison and
Reid, and pledges to them the electoral
votes OF the state. It torclbly Rssails
the Democratic position on the tariff by
declaring that while the Republican
policy Of protection has given the United
States industrial independence, it had.

There is no section Of the country
