Wasted Effort.


on the verge Of starvation in India.
And yet here is Uncle Sam squander-
ing apostleship in a land of plenty and
inviting 49, per- cent. martyrdom among
a people who cannot possibly be made
to believe that they are unhappy.
Go TO India, Lncle sam, and preach
the gospel of discomfort.
1t is only a small mino. ity of
Americans who are susceptible to your

Crying for What They Don't Want
The Jacksonville (Fla.) Metropolis
says
y crosstie contractor in the city says he
cannot secure enough men to work to meet
his requirements, though he finds many in
towns doing nothing. There is no end to
idle men in Jacksonville and nine tenths of
them pretend to want work, but they are
evidently very choice about it, as they refuse
to go to the country and labor for reasonable
compensation.

Not Practical.
A splendid opportunity was lately
afforded our friends, the Junior Order
of United American Mechanics, to
take a practical interest in the public
schools.
But they sat still and let those who
do not assume to hold a special pro-
tectorate over the welfare Of the
schools take the lead in the effort to
get money enough to continue them
nine months.
The question which arises thereupou
is whether a mere sentimental interest
in the public school system is enough
to promote its welfare ?
And Is it enough to justify an organ
lied suspicion of everybody's loyalty
to the system who does something for
it more tangible and far-reaching than
flag raising?
The JOURNAL is not opposed to such
societies further than this-that, or
ganized ostensibly to carry out public
purposes, they should not be secret.
For secrecy is a cover in ninety-nine

A New Point.

If the free coinage of gold and silver had
nothing to do with the prosperity OF the
country prior to 1878 excepting, of course
the period covered by the war; Will the
Frostburg JOURNAL please explain why there
is such a dearth of prosperity-real genuine
or universal-in these days of the single gold
standard, with silver stricken down as money
of ultimate redemption ?-Oakland (Md.)
Democrat.
If there is really "a dearth of pros
perity-real, genuine or universal"
and if coinage, free or not free, is
really responsible for the "dearth, -
then the "dearth' is unquestlonably
due to the fact that silver coinage
grew from about millions annually
before 1873 to an average of 26
millions annually after 1873.
This Is to say, silver has enjoyed 13
times more liberty to destroy pros
perlty i'll state of slavery than it did
when it was free.
The JOURNAL returns its sincere
thanks to the Democrat for enabling it
to make this subject so interesting.

M~ARTINsBURG W. "A. SATURDAY. OCTOBER 10. 1896.
rhe ..MOney Power and the People,

q money Power and the People.
From the Richmond eva } state.
There has been a great dealo # cheap
talk about the people against the
money power. From the Anar-
chist's standpoint it is right and prop
er to take up arms against mel of
means and force them TO turn over
their goods to the people. But that is
not law, and it is not the doctrine Of
those who love law and order.
But is this money power such a
demon, after all? Let us think for a
moment what it is in Richmond. 1t
is that which runs the Tredegar Works,
the locomotive works. the tobacco fac
tories, and all manufacturing indus
tries which give employment to labor.
II is that which runs the large stores
of Richmond, which in turn buy the
products of many OF these factories
and employ thousands of salespeople.
1t is that which operates the street.
car lines, giving work to many men
and cheap transportation to the public.
1t is that which operates the Chesa-
peake & Ohio Railroad Company,
with its 5000 employees in this city,
and other great railroad systems cen
tring here, giving to Richmond the
mean Of communication with the out
side world.
1t is that which operates the banks
of Richmond, and, however much you
may detest the name, Richmond would
be poor indeed without its great bank
ing institutions.
But why go on with the list? 1t
may all be summed in a word. The
money power of Richmond is Rich
mond's wealth and whatever hurts
that power, or makes it timid or keeps
it agitated. must Of necessity hurt
Richmond.
Now if you will take the trouble to
inquire of the managers of any Of
these great institutions of which we
speak, you will find, with few excep-
tions, that all are opposed to free sill
VIZ because they believe that it will
bring distress and hardship to them
selves and to the community, and if
it shall hurt them twill also hurt you.
Take that thought home with you and
ponder it soberly.

From the Washington %. CO Times
Friends Of Senator Faulkner, who
are not too earnestly identified with
the free silver campaign, are poking a
good deal Of quiet fun at him for his
change Of front on the silver question.
The following is given as an extract
from the speech, which. the Repnbli-
cans say, looks strange alongside OF
some Of the bulletins, which are daily
being prepared at Democratic head
quarters under the official eye of SEN
ator Faulkner himself:
I'VE cannot legislate for the present
from the standing OF the past. The
monetary standards Of the world have
changed the demand for the white
metal is lesseting annually. Should
we adopt free and unlimited coinage
at a ratio that would draw the surplus
silver to our minis, there would be no
channels through which it could pass
from thiscountry, except to South and
Central America, China and Japan.
Would they absorb sufficient to avoid
d glut in the home market, which
would SO eifectually ~depreciate the
price as to destroy silver as a standard
of value? With an increased produc-
ton and a continual decrease in the
demand, would it be wise for the true
friends OF bimetallism to seek at this
time to place silver in the position
it occupied in the monetary system
prior to 1873?
"Mr. President, | can see no solu-
ton of this problem except in inter
national bimetallism. The stability
Of silver. which has been overthrow
by vicious and selfish legislation, can
only be restored in this way"

Coercion of Railway Men.

M. E. ingalls,. President of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, said:
II have heard much talk about the
coercion Of railway employees by rail-
way corporations. l do not believe
there is a particle of truth in it. So
long as / have the power, every man
connected with me, high or low, shall
have the right on election day to de-
post his ballot for whoever he sees
fit. This | believe to be the senti-
ment of every railway manager in
this country. All that we say to our
employees is that we believe that this
proposition of Bryan's is fatal to the
prosperity of the country, the pros
perity of the railways, and fatal to
your interests as employees. We ask
you to carefully read and consider. so
that on election day you may vote as

Dana Is Himself Again.

From the New York sun.
Attended by a gang Of sprightly
pickpockets, the Popocratic candidate
for President travels through the
country spouting anarchy and class
hatred, leaving behind himj exploded
lies and empty purses. Only the
thieves who have followed him have
proited by his talk, and, with great
disregard of propriety, they have
filched most outrageously from many
of Mr.. Bryan's eminent admirers. In
Jersey City, the other day, ex-Sherif
Bob Davis lost his watch. In West
Virginia Senator Faulkner, ex-Sena-
tor Davis, and Fitzgerald, the candi-
date for Governor, were ifrobbed.
Some day the politicians, great and
small, who support Bryan may find
that they have lost more than their
pocketbooks.

rIr. Bryan's Unwise Denunciations

r1r. Bryan's Unwise Denunciations.
The Manufacturers Record has re-
peatedly protested against abusive ar
guments by ONE of the advocates OF
gold as unfair and calculated to do
much harm. 1t would like now to en-
ter an urgent protest against the wild
rantings of Mr.. Bryan, and this with
out any regard to his silver belief.
Mr.. Bryan is daily attempting to-
arouse animosity, to influence the
common people" as he terms them,
against the w~ell-to-do, and is carrying
this to an extreme for which no de-
gree of party feeling can find justifca-
ton. We are amazed that the
thoughtful, patriotic men who are in
harmony with Mr.. Bryan's silver
views do not insist upon a change OF
program. They are permitting him
to awaken a feeling Of hostility. based
on false statements, that may do our
country great harm. Every new
speech makes Mr.. Bryan's position,
more Vulnerable. Many of his state
ments are SO thoroughly without a
shadow of foundation that it is diff
cult to believe what the Manufacture
ers' Record did at first believe, that
Mr.. Bryan is personally sincere in his
faith in the cause for which he is
working. No man, it matters not
how firm a faith he might have in free
silver, can, it seems to us, be honest
with himself and honestly study MIR.
Bryan's work without a profound re-
greet that any man should use his ora
torical powers for such a hatred-cre-
ating campaign as he is carrying on.
We do not believe that even Altgeld
and Tillman have ever made SO many
statements without foundation as Mr..
Bryan is putting forth. He was a
vastly stronger man before the
try the day he was nominated than he
is now, and thousands who at that
time might have voted for him have
been forced to see that he is doing his
own cause even more harm than such
men as Altgeld and Tillman. The
Manufacturers Record is not a parti-
san paper; it has no politics; but it
would be recreant to the responsible
ity that rests upon it if it did not pro-
test against every effort to array class
against class or section against sec
tion.-Manufacturers' Record. Balti-

Besides coming S., r4o,o22,5o in

just expireds the government minis
coined So, 700. 0 in standard silver
dollars. This is equal to one third Of
all the standard dollars that were

It is twice as many as were coined

Canadian Opinion.

From The Toronto Mail and Empire.
Across the line the Republicans are
promising that there will be a great
industrial awakening if their party
carries the day on the sd Of Novem-
Der. For that promise the country
has reasonably good security in the
two main planks of the Republican
platform-namely, sound money and
protection. Together sound money
and protection are as the elixir of life
to trade in the United States. What
is troubling the country now, and
what has kept its material interests
on the rack for someHyears, is the
dread that one or both Of these con
ditions may be changed. Trade sinks
to allow ebb every time the tariff is
attacked, every time the stability O
the national currency is endangered

SILVER OR GOLD.

- 49, -
We were talking politics late II night
And arguing the question as to who was
right.
Silver or gold, that was the theme,
When at last | fell into a troubled dream.
Then / saw a mountain of silver bright
Loom up, as it were, before my sight.
And off Ia the distance a mighty crowd
We're listening to some one speaking
loud.
| heard him mention a cross of gold,
And how the people had all been sold,
And If they would vote for the silver
ring
They'd have nothing to do but feast and
sing.
Then / thought that the mountain melted
away
And out of its place shot a golden ray
That lighted the fires in the idle mills,
When a cry went up that shook the
hills.
"Close the minis and open the mills"
Was the cry that sounded the hills.
Protect our labor from foreign greed
And the workmen will then get all they
need.
Then / thought that another speaker
proclaimed
That the w~orkingman's wish would then
be attained
BY electing Mckinley, then silver and
gold
Would be like a tale that has often been
told.
