Grand Master Workman, Sover-
eign, OF the K of L. proposes a boy
colt of bank notes. A bank note
passes for money these days, and
while such note is a product of a
vicious and ruinous system, We do
not believe tn boycott will 60.
Money is too scarce, and people are
loo sorely in need of it. They will
take bank notes till some better sys-
tenn is devised.
Two valuable papers were found
on our exchange table for the first
time last week, and we hope to well
come them each week from this on.
One was beautifully printed and
''chock full'' of choice articles adyo-
eating the rights of the great com
mon people and sailing under the
appropriate name of "The Cauca-
sian" -Kentucky Industrial Record.
We are glad to see that the friends
of silver are holding silver rallies all
over the State. The gold bugs are
at work. Now is the time for the
people to work. Every true friend
OF silver will now not only take the
position that he is for silver and
against any man who is not for it.
but he will do something to help in
the fight.
See our special letter from Ken
lucky this week. The outlook for a
free silver victory grows brighter
each day. Hon. Tom. Petit, the
Peoples party nominee for governor,
is receiving many letters from Dem
ocrats who place country above par
ty. Senator Blackburn refuses to
be muzzled, and will enter the fight
against the gold machine.
The term democrat" goes into
the classic category of thu famous
'Raw Head and Bloody B,nes." In
Wilson county unruly youngsters
are told by good mothers that a
Democrat will get them if they dor't
be good. That reduces all sorts of
juvenile rebellion to the docility of
a lamb and tie dumbness of an
oyster.
Of the twenty three Democratic
State platforms having financial
planks, twenty one of them declared
for silver. But there's no free silver,
even though the Democrats had 14s
majority in the last Congress. You
can get free silver through the Dem.
party you know. Yes, you know it,
don't you.
If it was honorable in Senator
Blackburn to stop talking for free
silver because the Democratic State
committee Of Kentucky had declared
for the single gold standard, then
would it not be honorable in the
Charlotte Observer to stop talking
fog gold because the Democratic
State committee of n. c., has de-
clared for silver?
The assessed valuation of railroads
for 1895 is $52s, 2e7, oe more for 1895
than it was for 1894. There's moth
ing like having Populist on the
railroad commission or in any other
department of State government to
bring matters up properly. See?
Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Carlisle
attempted to deliver the people of
Kentucky like SO many sheep over
to the gold bugs, but there was more
manhood and patriotism in that
State than they had supposed.

It begins to look like Senator
Blackburn will stand by the people
and fight the tories and the gold
bugs. If he does the people of Ken
lucky will rally to him and crush
both of the gold parties.
Why has the News and Observer
stopped praising Coins Financial
School? Is it because the editor of
that paper has learned that Mr..
Harvey is Populist?
The free silver sentiment is gain
ing in Kentucky and the prospects
for Hon. Tom. Petit, the Peoples
Party nominee for Governor grow
brighter each day.
The longer the people of Kentucky
look at the Democratic platform of
that State the madden they get
