mine owners are not obtaining the profit
they are striving for under the guise
OF helping along the farmers to advo-
cate free coinage. The action of the
Populist Congressman in the recent
vote in the House over the amendments
offered to the Wilson repeal bill shows
the stand they are taking and it can
unquestionably be considered as
stand only in favor of the
silver mine owners. To man
they either failed to record their
vote for the ratios above l6 to or else
they voted against those higher,
thereby showing that they want to give
as little silver for dollar as possible.
In the words of Colonel O'Ferrall in
his speech at Bedford the other day:
free coinage, simply what it said
and no more-the right Of bullion own
ers to have it minted and returned to
them in whatever ratio the Government
adopted or choose for its standard. 1t
does not mean free money to you or me
or the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT put out
for nothing, for after coming from the
mint it goes back into the hands OF it's
owners"
The people Of Virginia are too wise to
be deluded into the idea Of voting for
measure which primarily means the
enrichment OF the mine owner.

CAMPAIGN TALK RESUMES.

The political campaign talk which
for the past week and half has been
superseded by the consideration of other
matters is being resumed, and last night
Populist Gravely attempted to help
slong the work by advocating Third
partyism to a sma all assemblage at the
Old Opera House. Mr. Gravely was
neither successful in furnishing matters
for further discussion or in convincing
his listeners that he had any excuse for
the talk he was then making
The Populists are combining their Of
forts to tho task of advocating free
silver. They declare that they have
other planks to their platform, but
aside from the mere statement OF che
fact, the public have nothing else to
warrant drawing conclusion to that
effect. Take out the free silver clause
OF their platform and there Is nothing
else upon which the party can stand.
Notwithstanding the fact that this is
a State and not national campaign that
is now being waged, Colonel O'Ferrall,
the Democratic standard bearer, has
given enough time in the campaign
work he has thus far done to successfully
break down the arguments presented by
the Populists upon this, their strongest
point.
Colonel O'Ferrall maintains that for
the past three years there has been
practically free coinage of silver under
the provision Of the Sherman purchas-
ing clause, which required tho buying
by the Government of 100000 ounces
monthly, which it either coined or for
which silver certificates were issued,
which amounts to practically the same
thing.
But even under this measure which he
believes should be repealed. the silver

Letter from Mr.. Kellerman.
SAN ANTONIO, Texas,
March Is, 1898.

Ed. AGITAroR l send you few
items relative to this country, Civ
ing some of my ideas of Texas. 1t
would require many columns to give
full description of the country.
Texas is great state, with beau
tiful scenery and thousands of acres
Of fertile land. 1t has many fine
cities. and towns, with hustling bus
mess men, and, consequently, they
do thriving business.
Spring is fairly opened, and ev-
erything is con the fly" The click
of farm machinery is heard on every
hand. The corn crop is about in
Cotton comes next. Wheat looks
well. Oats are from 6 to Is inches
high. The soil is of different kinds,
mostly black, very mellow and loose,
easily worked, and we should judge
it could be plowed very deep, but
that is not practiced here.
Cotton and cattle seem to be the
chief products of this country.
The people are kind and friendly,
but the country is thinly settled in
most places.
Strawberries and vegetables are
plentiful on the market.
Pasturage is short and cattle look
poor, in general.
Spring plants and flowers are plen-
tiful and looking gay.
Peach and Plum trees are in full
bloom.
The climate is mild and pleasant.
Yours, truly,
w. X. KELLERMAN.

take up Legislation affc citing social
and industrial conditions, such as
the tariff, in relation to industry,
the money question, monopolies,

served notice in the last election of
their dissatisfaction with. existing
conditions. If the Democratic party
is not able to satisfy them, it will
be hurled from power in 1896, as
the Republican party was in 1902.

Democratic party is not able to sat-
isfy the unrest, look for complete
political upheaval.
