GRAHAM STATION.

Mr.. Editor: Perhaps you will
spare us a little space in your paper
and be interested to know what the
people are doing around and about
Graham.
We think Graham is the liveliest
country business point along the
Ohio River r. R. Shipments for
the last two weeks have been 10
car loads, consisting of live stock
and perishable fruit. The principal
shippers being j. II. Spenc,R
& Son and II. B. Wilkinson, poul
try and egg dealers, and John S
Roush, that never firing and ener-
getic live stock dealer. John is a
hustler and is shipping some fancy
beef cattle and sheep to Jersey City
for New York market.
The rain of Saturday evening was
the first we have had for weeks,
but was not sufficient to moisten
the ground much, however it
refreshed the remnants of vegeta-
ton and will recruit the barren
pastures some.
Our farmers are busy preparing
ground for wheat, which has made
big demand for pillow points.
The produce dealers have discon-
tinued the shipping of apples for the
present as the city markets are SO
low on them that they will not pay
transportation and other expenses.

Our Public Schools.


While the free schools of West
Virginia will compare favorably
with those of other states, it is still
manifest to those who are familiar
with their work that they have not
yet reached that degree of efficiency
which should be required of them
Too many of the teachers are not
properly equipped for their work.
Pupils in the schools, frequently
graduates from them, show to the
most casual observer a want of
proper training while in school.
The institutes which are held each
summer in every county in the
State are designed to instruct the
teachers and to prepare them for
the work, and while they materi
tally assist them in their work, it is
not to be expected that five days
instruction in a year will make a
teacher. Nor is every one who can
pass an examination successfully
qualified to teach. A successful
teacher must know more than the
simple branches he is expected to
teach. So it often happens that
those who pass examinations and
secure first class certificates are not
successful as teachers. 1t will be a
difficult matter to make the schools
efficient but it should be the con-
slant endeavor of all school officers
to improve them. Teachers who
prove inefficient, whose pupils show
that they they have not been prop
erly instructed, should not be re-
tanned. The State spends a great
deal of money in the education OF
its youth and care should be exer-
cised to see that it is properly ex

Initiation.
As matter of fact it ought to be
made plain to every voter in the
land that characterization means
initiation. The contraction of the
base on which money rests is pre-
cisely the equivalent of initiation of
the credit money which rests on the
base. The gold monometallists,
while protesting to be the only ex-
ponents of the principles of sound
finance, are the very people who
have abandoned those principles,
and who are now drifting rapidly
into the delusive theory of non
redeemable money. This is plainly
seen from an examination of their
common arguments, and from a
presentation of the facts involved.
No one can deny that the PROPOSE
ton that initiation of credit money
is dangerous, is an established prin-
cipIe of sound finance. 1t has been
established by the world wide ex-
pericnce in the evils of inflated
paper currency Now suppose that
a country has 100000, 600 of stand

100000 of paper money. A propo-
sition is made to double the amount
of paper money, and every sound
fnancier objects to it because it is
initiation. But here comes a gold
monometallist and proposes to re.
duce the amount of STANDARD money
to s5O,OOO,OOO. The result would
be the same. 1t would make two
dollars of credit money to one Of

In a speech before the Memphis

of Nevada, among other good things,
said: "The people are uniting
in every section of the country to
strike for liberty and recover their
lost government. The American
people have been betrayed with
kiss for the last time. They now
know that every man who qualities
his determination to fight for the
free and unlimited coinage of silver.
at the ratio of16 to 1 by the United
States alone is an enemy of the
cause. All we demand is the 16 to
1 statutes of 1884 and 1887. There
were no "ifs" and sands" about
those statutes. There are none in
the creed of a true bimetallist. The
advocates of free coinage at 16 to
by the United States alone COM
prises three -fourths of the voters of
the United States. The only hope
for gold monopoly is to divide and
conquer. They have played that
game for the last time. The hearts
of the people are in a common cause
produced by a common calamity.
Whatever politicians and time SER
vers may do, the south and west
and all lovers of free institutions
everywhere will come together and
rescue this government from the
rule of the gold kings.
