Sensible Talk To Farmers.

In arecent speech delivered in
Jefferson county, ". Va, Hon W.
i. Wilson said:
"The farmer Of today lives un-
der new and vastly changed condi-
tons from the farmer of even
twenty years ago. In days long
gone by his crops paid, however
carelessly raised. Now the farmer
Of this region produces not for the
nearby markets Of Baltimore, or
even England. but for the markets
Of the world. Electricity and steam
bring him into competition with
the farmers Of the world wherever
there are hungry mouths to feed.
When You set your pillow in the
furrow, the Indian ryot, the farmer
of the Argentine, and the Russian
moujik are all plougbing by your
side and can bring their wheat to
market at about the same expense"
This is gospel truth and the soon
er the farmer realizes these facts
the better it will be for him. He
has been complaining for a long
time and clanoring for legislation
that would help his condition. A
few years ago it was the bonded
warehouse craze and fiat money.
Now it is free silver; and when
that dies ont il will be some other
craze, we fear. But the farmer
may take our word for it, legisla-
ton is not going to save him. All
the Legislation that will do him any
good is that which gives him the
markets Of the world for his pro-
ducts and which gives him his sup
plies at the lowest possible cost.
Such legislation he has in the Will
son tariff, and the man who gave
the farmers that law did them the
best turn they have had since the
war.-RichmOnd State.

'Virginia's Election Law.
What a Sun correspondent has
to say.

The Baltimore Sum of the 14th
closes long article from a Peters
burg, Va, correspondence follows;
Virginia republicans who pro-
fess to have learned the intentions
of the republican leaders months
in advance Of the session Of Com
greSs say that at least one Of the
democratic Congressmen returned
as elected, but whose seat viii be
contested, Will surely be unseated.
They intimate that either McKen-
ney or Tucker will be@forced to
walk the plank. and ifsthere is any
choice between the two they want
to see Tucker made the victim;
first. because he has acquired
considerable reputation as 4 vigor-
GUS and aggressive democrat. heart,
lily opposed to federal interference
in elections, and because his rromi-
hence in Congress would make his
rejection the most striking sort of
an object lesson to Virginia demo-
Gratis. Then. again. YOst, who is
contesting Mr.. fuckers seat, has
already served one term in the
House and made many friends
among the republicans, who will
not hesitate to do him a good turn
now if they have anything like a
plausible pretext. Of course this is
only gossip. 1t may be that both
McKenney and Tucker may be I'M
seated, or, it is possible that Meth
er will be forced out. Mr.. McKen-
ney has unquestionablv made ont
a strong case; IN the "plnIon OF his
friends it is absolutely unanswera-
Die. And yet it is simple enough !
rs it merely undertakes to show
out this very convincingly that
he contestant has not proved his
allegations; that the Walton law
S the law of Virginia; that it has
been pronounced valid and consti-
.utional by the Supreme Court of
he State, and that it was fairly and
Justly administered in every detail

Mckinney has had experience in
election cases"

We consider the prospects of

We consider the prospects of a
railroad for Highland as bright as
they have ever been, and our peO-
pie should not make a mistake and
fall back into the old rut and stop
working and encouraging it in ev-
cry way possible. Give the right
of way through your land. We are
Of the opinion that if Highland
can be able to say to the railroad
people that they have a free right
of way through the county, it will
be an inducement Of considerable
weight and will b" considered IA
vorably bv them. Dr. |. II. Trim
bic and Mr.. John Porter inform us
that they have spent the most of
the week in securing rights Of way
for the c. & W, and as far as
they have gone, have been greatly
encouraged. Blue Grass district is
nearly finished; Monterey, with a
few exceptions, is completed; and
Sronewall, where the least work
has been done, is coming ur nicely.
Next week the work will be COM
pleted as neatly as possible through

THE DEPOT.

The reason we did not answer
the South Branch Rerie'o last week
in regard to the railroad, depot, &C.,
is that we have been engaged all
week in trying to make cut of a
man coming down a tree. We
failed in this and all that is LETT for
us to do is to call the attention of
the citizens Of Franklin to the fact
that if the depot were located at
Monterey, the Franklin people
would have an easy down grade
over which to haul their goods;
while, if it were at Franklin, we
poor folks would have an all up
hill pull from start to finish, Now
please be liberal-minded and kind
hearted enough to allow us the de-
-pot.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, Sept. iO.-6ecreta-
ry Carlisle may be worried over the
apparent raid on the gold in the
Treasury, which has been made a
great sensation of by those news
papers which are perfectly willing
to risk bringing on another fran
cial panic in order to injure the adj
ministration and the democratic
| party, but if so he gives not the
slightest indication Of it to those
who are constantly in contact with
bin. That the withdrawal from
the Treasury Of $7,200,0G0 in gold
for shipment abroad last week ?
with one exception the largest
amount of gold ever taken out in a
single week.-Mrs. a disagreeable
surprise Is true: also, that it is diff
cult to explain satisfactorily why it
was done. Secretary Carlisle de-
clines to discuss the matter for
publication, simply because there is
nothing to be said at this time 1t
will be time enough for him to say
something when it shall be seen
the enormous demands for
gold are to be kept up, or whether
it was merely the result Of tenn
fporary and spa5modlc complication
Of our business relations with Eu-
rope. 1t can be stated, however,
that the rullOr5 of contemplated
bond issue ale entirely without
foundation. President Cleveland
did not agree to the first issue Of
bonds until Congress refused his
appeal for assistance FOX the Treas
ury, and unless there shalt arise
some extraordinary condition plac-
ing the credit of the government
in immediate peril, he will not
agree to another issue Of bonds UNI
til the Fifty-fourth Congress.
which will meet in a few weeks.
shall have refused to legislate for
the relief Of the Treasury. While,
CT course possible, it is not regard
ed as probable that the demand for
gold will be sufficient to reduce
the reserve fund to dangerous ca
tent between now and the assem-
bling OF Congress.
Senator Gray. Of Della ware, now
in Washington. says he thinks that
when the returns begin to come in
from the cotton and wheat crop the
demand for gold will stop, but that
Congressional legislation will be
necessary before there is any per-
manent relief. Il do not" he says,
"yiew the situation rs a partisan,
bat think now as | did before this
administration was inaugurated,
that the evil must be corrected by
the divorce Of the government from
the banking system, and the refQr-
nation Of the policy established by
the law or 10 10, by when TIE gov
was compelled to keep a
pile Of gold from which everybody
was invited who had greenbacks or
Treasury notes to help himself.
The Sherman redemption act was
no redemption at all. While it pro-
vided for the redemption Of the
greenbaclzs, il compelled their re-
issue, thus putting in operation the
endless chain, as it has been called. |
Until this Is suppressed there can
be no permanent relief. The green
backs have got to be redeemed. 1t
has been apparent for years, but |
unwise legislation was leading up
to it. and it has got to be wiped .
out from the statute book to put
the Treasury On a sound basis
Asked whether he thought the
coming Congress would give the
relief desired, Senator GRAY replied;
1T would be a crime to question |
the integrity Of the republic
