We reprint from our report in yester-
days issue the following accom-, OF Mr..
Bibb's speech at Kents store. in Flu
wanna county, few days back.
Ex-senator W. l.. LIB. in his sreech,
carefully avoided any detailed discussion
OF the money question. but confined him
self 10 the abuse OF Cleveland and tho
so-callcd Bultorcrats, whom ne charac-
terized as bastard Democrats Nj. biDb
stated TO the farmers that the moneyed
men OF VAL and Lombard streets were
engaged at midnight in planuiag ueir
destruction that in case OF Bryan's de-
feat. property in this land would be a
mere by-w0rd: ard that aN the nOueycd
men were after was the last inca OF he
farmers land. and when they got that
the laborers would be the absolute saves
OF the farmer. Mr.. Bibb's assertion that
the supporters of Palmer and BulSnc.
were bastard DEMOCRATS did mole than
any other one tnlns iast night 10
strengthen the sound-mone, cause In this
neighborhood.
Now, We are entirely prepared TO say
that this is gem Of the first water. Il
IS "of the purest ray serene" But. bril-
liant as these remarks are. Mr.. Ribb IS
entitled TO 10 credit for originality in ut
tering them. They have been the IA
Norite doctrines Of every aritator-from
Cataline, OF the French Revoluuonists.
and William j. Bryan. Esq. candidate of
the Chicago popullst party for the Office
OF President of the United States, has
made them the theme Of nearly every
one OF the 295 discusses with which lie
has favored the American people since
he captured the Chicago Convention.
Now, we really wonder. in our sim
plicity. which particular individuals Of
the moneyed men Of Wall and Lombard
streets were engaged. last night. Tor In
stance. at midnight. in planning the Gee
struction Of the farmers at Kcnts store,
in Fluranna county: and we really won-
der too. II these moneyed men are
really covetous OF gluysnna farms?
And this is the sort OF rubbish that ss
being laid before the people OF Virginia
all over the State to-day. as discussions
Of the tremendous issues that they are
called upon 10 decide at the coming
election.
At this same Kents store meeting this
occurred:
Mr.. Flanagan had with him some
Mexican dollars ana when he asserted
that they could be purchased for fifty
three cents OF our money. Or. r. j.. Bar
rett Of Louisa. questioned the accuracy
OF the statement. and remarked that II
50 We're true he could become a rich
man by investing IN Mexican dollars.
Dr. Barrett need not set misied about
this matter. What Mr.. Flanagan said
IS strictly true. The Mexican dollar can
be bought for less than hfy-three cents.
Mexico has free coinage Of both gold and
silver, but gold has Ions ago disappeared
from circulation, and IS now bought as
a commodity. and the Mexican silver
dollar has fallen TO its bullion value OF
a little more than fifty cents. Dr. Bar
rett could not make money by buying
them. because they will PASS nowhere
for more than their bullion value.
The effect Of free coinage IN the United
States Will he tie same. The silver dol
lar will be worth its bullion value and
no more. What that VIII lie IS el,ss-
work.
The times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1890-1903, 1896-09-30

Mr. W. J. Bryan. in bis New Haven
speech on Monday last. said:
When tho laws are so. under the free
coinage of silver. tina, the holder OF silver
bullion can convert his silver bullion into
dollars at the mint: that Will fix a mint
price for silver then as we have a mint
price for god now. and silver dollars will
be worth as much abroad as our gold
dollar
We do not see how 11r. Bryan can De-
lieve that. in view of his own wonls.
In his Phividence speech. delivered on
the same day. he said:
che poet has told Us that An honest
mans the noblest work of God We may
supplement this Abatement by adding
that an honest dollar. wherever il is found
or made, will be the nobiest work Of man.
But, my friends, the GOLD dollar which
Is praised to-day as the honest dollar Is
NOT the honest dollar, and those who love
10 most, love 1t because Of its own dis
honesty as dollar. (ApVlause) An hon
est dollar is one which preserves its
general purchasing power from day 10
day and from year TO year. Then, thu
dollar which rises I'm purchasing power
Is just as dishonest as the dollar which
falls in purchasing power
Now If the silver dollar shall rise in
value until its purchasing power shall
equal that Of the gold dollar. then the
silver dollar will be just as dishonest"
as the gold dollar.
OF course the great apostle OF free silver
would never admit that his pet silver
dollar could by any possibility or under
any conditions be dishonest. Therefore
we say that Mr. Bryan does not mean
what he says.
Again. suppose the silver dollar shall.
under free silver be equal In value TO
the "oyer-yalued" gold dollar. what be-

Ito a large extent, while Kan sas has been travelling down hill The newspaper columns and magazine pages once devoted to praise of the state to boasting facts and startling figures concerning her resources now are filled with cartoons, gibes and Pefferian speeches. Kansas has traded places with Arkansas and Timbuctoo
 Now what is the matter with Kan sas? We all know it is blood to the brides" Populism- They are running an old mossback Jacksonian named Leedy for governor, who snorts and howls because there is a bathtub in the state house. large proportion of voters of the state are followers of wild-eyed, rattle -brained fanatics who say openly that the rights of the user are paramount to the rights of the owner.
 They proclaim their Populistic sen- iiments like gibbering idiots and howl about the great red dragon" of Lom- bard street. They don't want Popu- hsm, they don't need wealth, they don't need standing in tlhe Nation they declare themselves the enemy ot capital and consequently are losing poulation and wealth. every day Kansas has got her statesmen, and the money power is afraid of her and has withdrawn its money from her borders She is in consequence poor and grow ing poorer every year.
 Gan Arizona afford to follow in the footsteps of Kansas by sending Pop ulist as delegate to congress? We think not. We say to the people ot Ar'izona regardless of political preju dice or party af1iliation that if yol wish prosperity, if you wish our re sources developed, if you wish to sel ryour property, if you wish statehood vote for sound money. Let tn monied men of the east know tha we are in sympathy with them on tn money question and they will havt confidence in us and will invest thei money with us. Without their conf dence we cannot prosper. We neet their money and we must have it.

ANOTHER BLOW TO THEORY.

The Los Angeles Times makes good point in the following:
 With Willamette valley wheat at 64 cents and Walla Walla at 50, on the 10th, there ought to have been a pro- portionate advance in silver on that day. Yet the quotations of silver in New York on that day showed a de cline of 4 and in San Francisco A Cotton has made slow and sure ad- vances during the past ten days and is a good deal suffer at its top price than it was at the bottom figure. What then, becomes of the theories of our great silver statesmen who are always pra1ing about the relation between the prices of silver and wheat? The ratio between silver on the one side, and lager beer, Swiss cheese and cigars on within three weeks after election is over."
 AS a matter of fact the relation be- tween silver and wheat is too remote to bodher about. The price of wheat is regulated by the law of supply and demand The consul general of the United States at St. Petersburg shows in a recent report concerning the wheat output of the world exactly what has caused the recent increase in price here and abroad. His estimate is that the worlds crop in 1896 falls short o1 the crop of 1895 by 1855, 100000 bushels

OUR FOREIGN MARKET.

It is gratifying to know tha5 the ex- ports of American manufactures Is constantly increasing, despite the hard times. The manufacturing exports of August, 1895, were s19, 9,050,92 The fig ures for August, 1896, are $21, ,147 ,2O6, according to the bureau of statistics. The figures for a single month might be misleading from accidental causes, but the rate of increase is much more than sustained for the eight months ending with August.
 The manufacturing eXports for these months in 1895 were $129, Al, 726. The corresponding figures for 1896 have been $163 112,67O This is an increase of more than twenty-five per cent and would indicate total manufacturing exports for the calendar year of about S250, ,000, 900.
 The unfavorable feature of these export Statistics is their relation to the period of business depression which U0Sdl LII looo" luO 4iISlL pllSCo c11u prosperous conditions of the calendar year 1892 reduced the volume of man ufacturing exports from $119, ,532, ,976 for the eight months ending with Aug ust in 1891 to $99 ,125, ,S36 for the same months of the next year. This condi- Ition practically continued until the crash in the summer of 1893, although there was some increase of mahufactur- ing experts from the time when the first mutterings of the storm were heard The most marked increase came after manufacturers and exporters real ized that they must sacrifice commodi- ties in order to obtain cash or credit
 It was believed by some that the in crease in manufacturing exports would cease when the influence of the panie became less acute. The fact that il has continued and grown indicates or the one hand that low prices have continued here as one result of the agi. tation for the change of the metallic standard, but it indicates on the other hand that American goods have proved attractive enough where they have been introduced to hold the market This has been especially true of articles requiring peculiar skill and inventive genius

WHAT POPULISM HAS DONE.

The Empcria (Kan.) Gazette says that Kansas has gained less than 2,OOO in population in the last year. There are about 125,000 families in the state and there were about 1O, 900 babies born in Kansas last year, and yet so many people have left the state that the nat ural increase is cut down to less than 2,000. This has been going on for eight years.
 If there had been a high brick wall around the state ten years ago, and not a soul permitted to leave, Kansas would be half a million souls better off today. The Nation has increased in population 10,O0O,OOO in five years. Of this increase Kansas should have gained 50000, but instead of gaining she has lost population by tens of thousands. Not only has she lost pop ulation, but she has lost wealth Every mOnied men who could ge out with out great loss has gone. Every month in every community sees some one who has a little money pick up and leave the state. Money is being drained out all the time. In towns where eight years ago there were three or four or half dozen money lending concerns stimulating industry by furnishing capital, there is now none, or one or two at most, that are looking after the principal and interest already out standing No one brings any money into the state any more.
 Yet the Nation has grown in popu- lation and wealth. Missouri has gained nearly 2,000000. Nebraska has gained

THE WORKINGMA.N'S INTEREST.

Money is worth what it will buy, no more, no less.
 Money will buy more now than it would in 1873.
 Money is therefore worth more now than it was in 1873.
 Every man who works for wages gets more money for his work now than he did in 1873, and can buy more with each dollar of it.
 Is this a condition of things which any workingman should wish to re- verse?
 Is it the interest of any workingmar to vote for a return to conditions which would give him smaller wages in money that would buy less?
