and apprehend that there is too much
at stake In accomplishing this con
! summation so devoutly to be wished
to hazard its securement by so vision
ary method. My honest conviction
Is that free silver as a primary money
can only be secured through the Dem.
ocratic party. The Republican party
Is 1ntrinsically the gold standard party
ana the battle will always be wageu
between these competitors, and any
other movement will never secure the
proportions of more than an upstart
and weakling that will be overshad
owed by these other two political
giants. My opinion is, and rest my
hope in the fact that the people who
constitute the Democratic party are
eleven out of twelve in favor OF the free
and unlimited coinage OF silver at u
ratio of III to L, or as it existed previ-
Gus TO the demonetization of silver by
the surreptitious enactments of Con
gress in the year. 1873 l am not un-
advised as to this point. In my travels,
which have been extensive during tho
last year, my inquiry and investiga-
tion upon this subject has been contin-
uous, aud l am satisfied of the correct
ness OF my conclusions, in that, not
only u large and respectable majority
OF the constituents of the Democratic
party favor free silver, and, without
reference to political affiliations, the
whole OF the producing class.
u shall not be deferred by the hope
OF reward or tho fear of punishment,
politically or otherwise, i'm advocating
a measure that L believe is for the best
interest of my common country, but
believe the way to secure it Is through
the Democratic party. believe that it
ls the dominating question that will be
before the people for years to como, and
1T will eventually rosult-however
strongly opposed by the moneyed pow
or or by minority of the party how
ever respectable-that the party will
hnally become overshadowed and en-
veloped in its folds; and, though IL may
amount to what they may claim as an
extinguishment Of the Democratic par
ty, the true spirit OF JeffersOnian De-
mocracy will arise phoenix-like from its
ashes in the shape Of the dollar of our
'daddies' with the immobile features of
the godderS Of libertycon one sides and
the spread eagle ON the other, typical
OF the indestructibility of our union,

Editor Manufacturers Record:
Replying to your question touching
the duty OF our Southern people to
thclr rising generation in the matter
OF immigration, there can be no uucs-
tion that the sure method of advanc-
ing the interests Of the youth of the
South ana OF making them cOntcntetl
and prosperous at home is by bending
every energy 10 increase thcir home
advantages and local opportunities for
social, intellectual and business growth.
The foundation for this is IL healthy
immigration, which is uJ the con-
mnnd of every community, constitutes
no tax upon its present resources, ana
II properly applied, will invariably
yield most satisfactory returns. 1T
never comes OF itself or by individual
effort, except in such IL dcsuItory and
sporadic manner that it cannot be
called immigration. An occasional on,
isolated settler in any community,
whether country or city, add nothing
to its wcalC" or his own happiness.
He cannot lorget the absence of old
associates, old ways, old surroundings /;
but let those, even to IL limited extent,
be brought with him, and the whole
situation Is transformed. Individual
gives place to aggregate or community
conditions, and schools, churches.
workshops and homes become common
meeting-ground for similar mOlos OF
life.
Continued effort, therefore, is
absolutely essential in any community
for successful Immigration, and for
that reason States, cities, counties,
private corporations, and especially
the railroads of the South, must use
every effort to add to its Industrious
population. Today this it selfprcser-
vation. fcw years hence it will be-
wealth and power.
The South will nover grow as it
should until this is done. Instead of
1000 settlers per week, as now re-
ce1ved, under proper combination
for this purpose, 25,000 substantial
settlers per week from the Northcrp
and Eastern States alone can be
favorably located in 1895 along the
lines of our Southern highway.
Then. and not till then, will opp0r-
tunitics be offered at home to- our
Southern youth which will end this
disastrous exodus from the country dis
tricts. Let the older heads look to it
for their childrcns sake.

to call convention for an expression

Grand Rivers, Ky. Dear Sir: i
had your letter Of the 9th. take
pleasure in responding to your inquiry
and> say l have always been and am
now and always intend to be in favor
of the unlimited coinage of silver.
g had been making this fight as
earnestly and persistently as it is
possible to do, ever since it was demon
strated In 1873, by what is known as
the Sherman act. | believe that the
single gold standard means inevitable
bankruptcy and ruin to this country,
" insist upon both gold and silver
being retained as the money of the
people accord ing to the provisions of
the constitution.
"l have always opposed and always
will oppose the single standard policy
that England and Wall street, have
fastened upon this country for the pur-
pose of robbing the masses OF the
American peop.e, and enriching tho
holders and hoarders of gold.
NV record is unbroken as an
earnest, uncompromising advocate of
the silver metal, and in the coming
canvass in Kentucky intend to force
the fight on this line, and upon the
record that | have made | am willing

And good appetite go hand in hand.
With the loss of appetite, the system
cannot long sustain itself. Thus the
fortilications of good health are broken
down and the system is liable to attacks
of disease. 1t is in such cases that the
medicinal powers of Hood S Sarsaparille
are clearly shown. Thousands who have
taken Hood IS Sarsaparilla testify to it,
great merits as a purifier of the blood
its powers to restore and sharpen the
appetite and promote healthy action

stitutes the strongest recommendation
