nous sentiment of their constituents and
fortified by the rules of the senate, which
forbid anything approaching cloture, they
are confident in their ability to command
a compromise that will recognize the
claims of silver as one of the great money
metals of the republic.
There are several ways IN which an
acceptable compromise might be framed.
The Press printed the general outline of
such an agreement presented by
Senator Henderson, of Nebraska-in it's
columns yesterday. Whatever course the
wouldbe autocrat in the White house may
pursue, the American people, by an over
whelming majority, are for the use of
silver as we'll as gold as a standard of
values in this country. They insist upon
currency that shall be American, not
British. They demand that the pros
perity OF the west shall be safeguarded
equally with the interests of the east.
They want the two great metals main
tanned at parity by just and enlightened
craftsmanship.
The Press believes that this is the
path of safety and patriotism; the course
which, if wisely followed, will lift Il great
burden from the bowed shoulders of the
west and unto every section of our COM
mon country more closely in interests
and in sentiment. Bi-metallism Is the
fixed financial doctrine of the American
people. Tt is a corner stone of Republic
canism. Republicans must see that it is
maintained against the assaults of the de-
voices of British gold mono-metallism
and British free trade.-New York Press.

GENTLEMAN by the name of John L.
Preston has addressed a letter to the

when Good Times will Return

The gold value Of farm products per
acre in this country, from 1866 until 1870,
averaged $15.64 per acre, while this year
they averaged only $S.15 per acre. The
farmers will never know the meaning of
good times again until silver is restored
to its rightful place and value as money,
and they should keep up the agitation in
favor of bi-metalism until the cause sue
ceeds.-Denver Republican.

appropriated and diverted to other uses by the

greater, until the agricultural interests are in
imminent danger of destruction unless such
diversion be checked.

NEW YORK, May 23.-Drexel, Nor
gan & Co. this afternoon issued a
circular to the security holders OF the
Richmond and West Point Terminal,
Railway and Warehouse Company,
Richmond and Danville and the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
Railway Company and system, IN
which they state that they have de-
cided to undertake the reorganlza-
tion Of the system. Security holders
who have deposited their holdings
and Internationally desire to with
draw them can do SO on or before
May 81, 1893, but all securities
withdrawn will not participate in the
reorganization.
The circular states that the Rlch-
mond and Danville and East Tenn
cssee systems have large intrinsic
value, but must be reorganlzed at
once if disintegration is to be avoid
ed. The absolute fixed charges OF
the Terminal Company amount an
nually to 100000, while the entire
net earnings for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1893, are estimated at
81, 100000, deficit Of $2,O0o,ooo.
AS for the common stock of the East
Tennessee Company, deposited with
the committee, participation is turth-
err Dependent on the payment OF
assessments in four equal install
ments when called The failure to
pay forfeits the right to participate.
The committee reserves the privilege
to terminate at any time the right to
deposit securities under the plan.
The reorganization proposes to BRING
the entire 5000 miles Of railway un-
der one new railway company, pre-
serving, however, local independence
in all matters relating to the operat-
ing and traffic departments and to
reduce the fixed charges to IS, 7S9,

1he PosT has now been established
SIX months, and hundreds Of people
have been reading the paper who as
yet have contributed nothing toward
its support.
In commencing the publication of
the paper the management fully re-
allied the difficulties that were to be
met. The publication of three other
papers had been tried here, and for
the lack of a healthy support, or on
account Of Encouragement, each
Of them soon stwent to the wall"
These unfortunate failures of them
selves were almost sufficient to de-
stroy confidence in the minds of the
people as to the continued publication
of a newspaper at this place. Many
of them had paid their subscriptions
and after receiving few copies, the
paper, died and the subscribers had
to lose the amounts paid in.
An experience of this kind natur-
ally made the people very cautious,
and hundreds of the very best citi-
zens, when this paper was estab-
lished, said eyes, send the paper
along, and when we are convinced
YOU have come to stay we will pay
You
Now, if you are among the number
who have been reading the Posi- and
have not paid for it, kindly remember
that it is nothing but right, fair and
honorable that you should come for
ward now and do your part toward
keeping the paper going.
The Posr is fixture at Big Stone
Gap, and is here to stay still tho
more liberal the support given it by
the good people of this section the
better will be their representative

Don't neglect to send in your sub
scription at once. Don't wait fol

and the entire section known as ''the
