Can Any One Answer.

The gold bugs are not disposed to
abandon their claim that labor is UNI
derpaid in silver countries and well
paid in gold countries. The claim
has been refuted time and time again,
but still it is repeated.
In order that the matter may be
put in a nutshell let every laboring
man ask his gold bug friends these
questions:
First-Do laborers leave gold stand
ard countries and go to silver coun-
tries for employment?
Second-Do white men who 90 to
Mexico for employment find it?
Third-Do they continue to work
for the wages which they get in Mex
leo?
We believe these questions should
all be answered "yes," and if this is
the case it is evident that in actual
practice many American laborers find
Mexico, with her silver, better than
the United States with her gold.
Here is another question;
Fourth-Do Mexican laborers move
to the United States so as to get the
better wages which it is claimed the
gold standard affords?
To this the answer must be s'no. .
The tide of emigration is constant
ly from our country to Mexico, and it
would not be so II conditions were as
bad and labor as poorly paid as has
been claimed. If the gold standard
is so good for labor those who have
labor to sell would bring it here, but
they do not.

MIR. Carlisle,s Great Blundsr.

The News does not sympathize
with many of the peculiar views ex-
pressed by Mr.. William Jennings
Bryan, but it feels called upon to
commend the vigorous manner in
which he has denounced the astound-
ing proposition advanced by Secre-
tary Carlisle that it would be the
duty of the secretary of the treasury
to redeem silver dollars in gold if
they were presented for redemption.
Only a few months ago Mr.. Cleve-
land and Mr.. Carlisle both wasted
considerable eloquence on congress
in an effort to retire the treasury
notes. They pointed out that the
treasury notes were used to with
draw gold from the treasury and
they constituted the famous "endless
chain which made it impossible to
hold sufficient gold reserve.
Now Mr.. Carlisle gravely announ-
ces that he proposes to create another
''endless chain" This endless chain,
is not to be of treasury notes but of
silver certificates. In other words.
Mr.. Carlisle is SO desperately anx-
ious to turn the nations gold over to
the spectators who may demand it,
that If they haven't got treasury
notes which are rcdcemable by law
in gold or silver, he will not accept
silver certificates which are redeem
able by law only il silver. The ia
augnration Of such a policy would
mean an endless series of bond is-
sues,the complete surrender of the en-
tire wealth Of the country to a hand
full of gold spectators, surrender
which no man but sodden fool or a
knave stepped in villainy could view
with complacency.-- Wheeling Nesos

Beechurst avenue will let vince
in up to the hub before the winter
is over. There will necessarily be a
large amount of hauling over that
avenue this winter. There are many
houses to be built. There will be a
considerable population down there
to be fed. And there will be many
vehicles to and from the manufacto
ries to supply their needs. Before
winter is over they will be shut in
by the impossible mud.
One of the men connected with
these enterprises down there re-
marked that ''that street would have
to be paved with brick right away
And we doubt not that it will be
done. 1t will be necessity.
The same necessity will appear on
other streets Of the town as the pop
ulation continues to increase. This
is no more country village with a
population satisfied with country
roads. We will have to improve our
streets and we might as well face
the job right now.

A Splendid Onening.

The University has opened it's
doors to more students this year
than in any other year of it's histo-
ry. 1t is starting out with an en-
rollment equal to the total attend
ance for the whole of last year.
The students are also in advance
of the past average in point of schoI-
arship.
The public schools are showing
their work in preparing students for
the University. The preparatory
work is better done and goes further.
So that the University departments
now outnumber, in their enrolment
the Preparatory department which
is exceptional.
Moreover, we believe we have the
best behaved and most studious class
OF young men that can be found in
any institution in the land.
The University is an ideal place
for a young man to get an education
and we are glad to find that they are
approaching that fact more than
ever before.

A Good Time to Begin.

1t is good time now to inaugurate
paving our streets with brick.
The worst street in town is Main
street. 1t is as rough as a country
turnpike. Something will have to be
done by way Of putting it in passable
condition for the winter. Why not
make the repair permanent by paving
it with brick?
We understand that the property
owners on that street are already will
ing to join the town in doing this.
They will pay two-thirds the cost If
the town will pay one-.third.
There is no way in which that street
can be put in respectable condition at
a cost much less than it would cost to
pave with brick. Why not pay the
additional cost for repairing 1t In a
way that the cost would stop for many
years to come?
1t is picayune economy that
would continue to patch the street fol
the next ten years at cost equal to a
decent pavement, and still not have
the pavement.

The current year now drawing to a
close has been a record breaker.
We have had greater rain fall
than In any previous year Of which
the weather bureau has record. In
the month Of July alone, we had al
most as much rain fall as in whole
summer season.
We have harvested greater crops
than in any year Of which the Oldest
inhabitant can tell a tale. There has
been no failure in anything. Every
kind Of product OF the farm has been
abundant even to the extent Of glut-
ting the market.
Moreover the temperature has run
higher on an average than In any 9th
er year for rs years. The thermometer
was higher for ten successive days In
August than we have any previous
record of.
Altogether 1t has been most re
markable year, and in many respects
very satisfactory one.

BRYAN'S CHANCES,
Democratic Prospects Continue
to Grow Brighter,
Fusion in Many States Settles the
Result
Easy to See What Is Coming for all Ex,
cept Those who will not Believe.
ALL DONE BUT THE sHOUTING.

ALL DONE BUT THE SHOUTING.
Under the head of brief kilograms
the other day THE Intelligencer'
conveyed some very cheering infor
nation to its Democratic readers.
1t first showed that in Kentucky
the Democrats and Populists had
fused and were in fine fighting trim
to make that grand commonwealth
solid for Bryan and the cause Of the
down trodden masses This is par
ticularly gratifying since the Repub-
licans have been making wild
claims as to what Kentucky was GO
ing to do. What it will do will be a
plenty. Kentucky is assuredly Dem
ocratic.
The next word of cheer was label
ed Wyoming and announced that
out there the motion made by Colo
RADIO to make Bryan's election unan-
imous is taking firm hold and would
be ably seconded. There the friends
Of the oppressed are, in spite of
Hanna's gold, united, determined
and aggressive. Wyoming is against
the European idea and in favor of
the American system of finance.
The third and choicest tidbit con-
Germs state that has heretofore been
Democratic but which our friends,
the enemy have been claiming with
all the power that nature has given
them. The Tar Heel State, one OF
Solid South, could not prove recre-
ant to its former love when it needed
help. So it comes grandly into the
procession and sends its greetings
to our noble young standard bearer
and assures him that the electoral
votes that it possesses will be cast
for him and the cause he represents.
There the Democrats, Populists and
Silver Party are united and nothing
remains to do but determine how
large majority they can give II
Republican claims prove as ground
less RS they have in these states and
in Colorado, it is an open question
whether Hanna will be able to de
liver single debatable state to his
puppet at Canton.

Mr.. Bryan has received cable mes
sage from the international Agricul-
tural Congress, which is in session at
Budapest, Hungary, wishing him
"success in the struggle against the

pledging the individual members best
efforts with their respective govern
ments to bring about restoration of
silver to the worlds currency.

Republican papers are getting off a
good joke by saying that Bryan will
deliver speech shortly from the Cap
itol steps at Washington and McKin-
ley will too but he will wait until the
4th of March to do it. Both of these
plans will be changed one by Bryan's
good sense and the other by the voters
good sense.

Mr.. BRYAN IN WEST VIRGINIA.
Will Be Joined Along the Way
By Prominent Campaigners

Who will Fill in the Time After the Au.
dience Gather, Till Mr.. BRYAN Arrives
The Three Days Tour through this
State will the Most Successful and
Memorable Campaign Ever known
The Speakers will Not be the ssGuests'
Of the Railroads. But the Guests Of
the People--Will Pay Their Way.
Senator Faulkner expects Mr.. Bry-
ans three-day tour of West Virginia
will be the most successful and mem
orable campaign trip ever made in
the State and is congratulating him
self on the manner which he has ut
ilized the time which the Democrat,
ic candidate will be able to give
West Virginia.
Mr.. Bryan will be accompanied by
three other admirable speakers, Hon.
Benton McMillin, Of Tennessee; Hon.
JEFF Chandler, of California, and Hon
Stilson Hutchins, of Warshigton.
All of these speakers win not be
present at the same time at each
place where the candidate speaks,
but they will be shifted about SO
that one or more will precede or fol
low him, as the case may be.
Thus while Mr.. Bryan is at one
place, another speaker will be ahead
Of HIM at the next point on his itin-
erary, and will open the meeting an
hour or more before Mr.. BRYAN ar.
riyes.
A speaker that follows Mr.. Bryan
at a meeting will, after he is through
take the next train for the second
point ahead on the route and be pre-
pared to begin the speech making
preparatory to the candidates com
ing.
Mr.. Bryan and the gentlemen who
accompany him on this trip will not
be the quests" of any railroad, as
it is understood Republican cam
paigners have been. They will pay
their way throughout.
