THE WORLDS FAIR
And American Railways.

THE QUEEN & CRESCENT ROUTE wide
ly known as the road running the
"Finest Trains in the South, is in the
field to carry everybody from the
South to the Worlds Fair at Chicago.
No part of the Southern country is
left uncared for by this great railway
and it's connections. The Through
Car System is an admirable exposition
of the wonderful capabilities of Amer
lean railroading. From New Orleans
Through Sleeping cars run daily, morn
ing and evening, carrying its pasSen-
gers via Cincinnati or Louisville, as
they may select.
From Shreveport, Vicksburg and
Jackson another Through Sleeping
Car Line comes 20 join and become a

Birmingham and the famous Wills Val
ley of Alabama, is joined at Chatta-
nOoga by the train from Jacksonville,
Fla, Brunswick, and Atlanta, Ga, over
the E., Il. " Il Ga. Ry, and proceeds
north over the beautiful Cincinnati
Southern, through the grandest natur-
al scenery and most attractive histori-
cal country in the world, to Oakdale,
where another magnificent Pullman
car is received, coming from the Rich
mond & Danville System from Charles
ton, S. c., through Columbia, S. c., the
beautiful French Broad county, and
Ashville, N. c., and Knoxville, Tenn.
The time to Chicago is made so as to
afford the most convenient hours for
departures from the principal cities,
and arrivals in Chicago.
Passengers can purchase tickets good

returning via another if they desire a
variable route without extra charge.
Or they can go via Cincinnati, return
ing via Louisville, or vice versa.

RICH! Arm q! !Hs MONEY POWER.
A Peoples Party Authority on
the Liquor Traffic.
Nonsense to Talk About Fighting Other
CapitaIIstic Combines and not Include
the Most Gigantic and Unscrupulous
CapitaIistic Combine Of the Day.

This liquor power is to-day the
strong right arm of the money
power. 1t enjoys greater privi-
leges than are accorded to any
other combination of capital on
the American continent. This
may appear to be broad asser-
ton, in view of the privileges ac-
corded to railroad and other COM
binations, but the Advocate in its
issue of April 6, 1892, has am
ply demonstrated it to be true.
1t is the most powerful if it is
not the most gigantic, of capital
istic combine of the day, and it
is beyond doubt the most dan
gerous, because the most unscru-
pulous and determined. 1t is alb
solute nonsense to talk or think
of making Il successful contest
against the capitalistic combines
that have been and still are ruling
thi. country, and not include
among them the liquor combine
the most dangerous one among
them all. Until our people are
ready to grapple with this hydra
headed monster they may as well
save the effort they are making
against plutocracy and devote it
to such faithful service of their
masters rs will secure the best in
dulgences it may be possible for
them to obtain. Nothing but abb
soIute blindness can prevent Il
recognition of this fact. The on
ly question upon which there can
be Il rational difference of opin-
ion relates to the plan of assault
the method by which we shall
propose to throttle the monster
and deprive him of his power

THE OLD DOMINION.
A Local Option Election Carried
Against Whisky.

ROANOKE, VA, Sept. 6.-The
Prohibitionists won in the local
option election by 142 majority in
a total vote of 3509, thereby car
rying the city against license.
The vote was the closest in the
third ward, where it stood 462
for Prohibition and 400 for the
continuance of license. The
''drys'' ran up their largest ma
ioritv in the first ward, in which
the greatest number of colored
voters reside. The election was
the most exciting ever held here,
the contest having been very Wig
orously carried on for the past
two months. The ministers were
all on the side of Prohibition, and
prominent lawyers and business
men opposed the movement. 1t
is estimated that the city will lose
$40, 900 of blood-money by the
result.

John Barleycorn no Respecter
of Persons.

ATLANTA, Sept. 5.-Rev. Ar
mold Frarcr, a Primitive Baptist
elder, eighty-six years of age, is
in the city prison, whittier he was
carried in the Black Maria,
through streets crowded with peo-
pie. The reverend gentleman
had Il dispute early in the morn
ing with member of his flock,
which eliminated in a fight. He
was let 60 by the police because
of his position in the church, but
later in the day the matter so
worked upon him that he got
drunk, and it was in this condi-
ton that he was borne to the
city prison. Several of his de-
voted parishioners watched him
as he was on his way to jail.

would furnish vastly larger ar
my of more liberal consumers, so
that under a prohibitory system,
fairly well enforced, the money
now worse than squandered in
the saloon would start afrcsh the
hum Of industry everywhere.
In the language of Mr.. Fernald
Economies of ProhibitionD: 1t
is for us to convince everybody
who has anything to sell, North
or South, East or West, that
there is the most glorious advance
in store for his business the mo-
ment we can stop the outlay for
whisky and beer. Tell the lum-
bermen of Michigan how many
thousands of drinking farmers
will shinglc their houses and
barns, or build new ones, as soon
as they quit their meanness, and
how many thousands of houses
will be built in all our suburbs
for the workingmen when none
of them drink away the money
that might pay the rent or buy
the cottage. Show the shoe man
ufacturer of Massachusetts what
it means to take all the bare feet
of drunkard's children off the
groul d. Let the iron men of
Pennsylvania know that new
stoves will be at once needed in Il
hundred thousand homes when
the saloon keeper ceases to get
the money. Tell the miners they
will have work all winter through
getting coal enough to put into
these stoves. Tell the cotton
planters of the South that there
will be about 10000, 600 new cal
leo dresses and aprons wanted as
soon as the 1000, 200 tipplers
cease to tipple, and 60 home with
some spare change. Let the
ranchmen of Dakota and New
Mexico, and Armours men in
Chicago, know that there's going
to be beef on thousands of tables
where now are few cold pota-
toes, as soon as we can carry
Prohibition. Tell the wool-grow-
ers of Ohio that everybody in this
country is going to be wrapped
in wooden and sleep under blank
cts when the blizzards blow and
the thermometer ranges about zc-
TO, and men no longer heat up
with liquid fire in order to eXter-
inmate their families with atmos-
pheric cold. Tell the grocer he
can sell for cash and say good-by
to bad debts when the dimes nc
longer 90 into the saloon-till.
Tell the farmer there is going to
be an unheard of demand for
-four and meal, butter and cheese
and eggs as soon as the bloated
beer holders cease fostering that
industry, and begin filling out
the hollow cheeks of wives and
children with wholesome food. "

Warmers Idea.

Chairman A. l. Warner, of
the Bimetallic League, explains
the stringency as follows
sEThe trouble is in the change
of the money standard. The val
lie of money may be doubled Ell
ther by doubling the weight OF
standard coins, or by destroying
half of the metal out of which the
coins are made. One is as etfec-
tive as the other. The establish
ment of a single gold stand
ard is equivalent to put
ting property down one
half. This is what is going
on. To do this and still require
the same number of dollars in
payment of debts, and taxes, is to
sanction the spoiliation of one
class by the other. And the talk
of such a standard as honest mon
ey, or such a policy as sound III
nances is the rankest hypocrisy"

many of their methods and poll

dull of comprehension and that it

a good while to soak in, but they
manage to 4" catch on after a
while. What makes the sarcasm
of the Maine statesman the more

fact that the Democrats have cop
led after some the worst as well
as best of Republican methods
and policies is too true.

Silver-Its Genesis and Use.

Before the flood silver seems
not to have been used. 1t is moro
than probable that metal-bearing
rocks had to be subjected to the
action of those world-changing
currents of electricity which, at
the flood, brought all metals into
veins, before silver could be sue
cessfully mined. But directly af
ter we find silver current as money
in the scales of the merchant, be-
ing weighed as the price and stand
ard of values. The first transac-
ton recorded was that in the
twenty third chapter of Genesis
in which is detailed minutely the
purchase of "the possession of a
buryingplace," bought by Abra-
ham of the sons of Heth. The
Cave of Machpelah, "the field and
the cave which was therein, and
and all the trees that were in the
field, that were in all the borders
round about, were made sure I'M
to Abraham for "four hundred
skekels of silver, current money
with the merchant. Joseph was
sold for "twenty pieces of silver"
and centuries after another men,
orable burial-place was bought
with the "thirty pieces of silver"
which Judas cast down in the tenn
ple-the 50 field of blood" Nor
from the beginning of post-delu-
Wan times has there been an hour
until now in which this use of
purchase and sale has not been
the chief recognized quality of
silver.
The supply of gold and silver
has kept pace with the wants of
society, increasing with the needs
of the race as it multiplied, and
in almost parallel lines of value.
The wisdom which has establish
ed law between the current of Il
river and the shape of its banks,
so as to make it useful for navi-
CATION, evidently has ordered the
hiding of these precious metals,
so that they may be had only in
proportion to mans economical
demands. The director of the
United States Mint has recently
estimated the amount of gold and
silver in the world, taking the
twenty-five chief nations as the
basis. 1t sums up in value 49,
632, ,935, 900 of gold, and 3d.
96S, 700, 900 of silver. In France
there are $500, 100000 of gold
and 500, 900, 200 of silver; in
Spain 800, 100000 of gold and
1926, 100000 of silver; in the
United States 1854, 900, 900 mil
lions of gold and s575, 600, 600 of
silver. In great Britain, Germa-
ny, Portugal and Russia gold is
current in much larger quantities
than silver. 1t must be noticed
that gold is eminently war ma
terial, being easily handled
in times of disturbance, so that
accumulation of gold in Europe
is, doubtless, parts of it bristling
military footing. :.

COLD-BLOODED.
A Financial and Business View
Of Prohibition.
Constitution

Of Prohibition.
Current political discussion
ranges itself largely on financial
lines. What can be said as to
the magnitude of Prohibition
viewed from the standpoint of the
economist! Is the question OF
sufficient Importance to challenge
public attention! We believe it
| is.
If the. liquor traffic were entire
ly free from moral turpitude, if
it wrought no injury to personal
character, if it degraded the NOR
ais of no citizen, if it broke the
heart of. no woman and blighted
, the life of no child, it neverthe-
less presents us financial prob
lem of astonishing magnitude.
When we consider the drink
traffic as an absorber of wealth, a
paralysis upon industry, alike the
foe of capital and the enemy of
labor, it constitutes a financial
and industrial issue of such mag
nitude as to dwarf into compara-
tive insignificance most of the
other financial questions of the
day.
Against the traffic we charge:-
l.. That it creates no wealth.
3. That it's so-called values are
fictitious, not real.
3. That it causes increased tax
alton.
t. That it decreases the pro
ductive ability of consumers.
5. That the vast army of men
employed in the various branches
of the traffic are housed, clothed
and fed, doctored in illness, and
decently buried after they are
dead, without having rendered
society the slightest return ser.
vice of real value.
Is it asserted that men grow
wealthy in the business, hence il
must be wealth-producing!
So may burglar, a gambler
a pickpockct, thief, grow veal
thy.
Like them the saloon keeper
takes the money from his victim
and gives no valuable thing as al
equivalent.
Does any man assert that it
nominal values are real values.
Test it by a simple experiment
A citizen spends annually on
hundred dollars for clothing ant
an equal amount for liquor. w
say to him, "Continuc to Civ
your tailor one hundred dollar
per annum, but let the tailo
keep his goods; hand your groce
five dollars every Saturday night
but tell him you do not want hi
groceries, and you wal manifes
practical wisdom. y
"Absurd!' responds the read
! or. But how about this advice
We say to him, "lf you mus
contribute to the support of tn
saloon keeper and his family
send him two dollars per week
but do not accept his drink, an
YOU will do wiser than to follo'
your former custom.
If the drink traffic were ami
hilated, those who are now its pa
irons might, by voluntary contri
. buttons, support every distlllel
brewer and bartender in absolut
idleness, and the country be +
nancially the gamer by tn
change.
; Energy employed in producin
a valueless product cannot cor
: tribute to the general welfare
. though indulgence in a viciou
habit may render such energ
profitable to those so employed.
, The enormous sum squandcre
for drink would send the thrill {
!. new life and the flush of prosper
3 ity into every honorable business
iwerc it diverted from the chann'
sIin which il now flows.

Chichester cathedral has a secret dun.

It is also provided with a secret en-
trance, admission to which is obtained
by a sliding panel in a room at one time
used as a library. The cathedral, found.
ed in 1870, was renovated after a fire in
lila, and restored after another fire in
1857. 1t consists Of a nave of eigh,
bays and four aisles. a transept with
chambers instead of aisles. a central
steeple and a southwest tower.
Carlisle cathedral, during the period
Of the Jacobite rebellion, was used as a
huge dungeon, and many rebels Were
imprisoned there in 1145. The chief ell
gineer in the royal forces even demand
