sectlonalism be revived. Neithert shall
our opponents be permitted to terrify
the people by predictions that tempo
rary disturbances or panic will come
from the policy we propose. The
American people will be loyal to the
nations money, will stand behind it
and maintain it at whatever value they
themselves may put upon it. Once
before IN the present generation have
our people been called upon to face a
momentous crisis. What then said
Mr.. Lincoln, the chosen leader of the
plain people of the land? Was he
awed by threats or weakened by the
willy persuasion of the false friends
who as today, pleaded for comprom-
Use with wrong? eff our sense of duty
forblds this, then let US stand by our
duty fearlessly and effectively. Let
US be diverted by none of these sophis-
tlcal contrivances such as cropping for
some middle ground between right and
wrong reversing the Divine rule and
calling not the sinners but the right
eous to repentance, such as iEvocations
to Washington, imploring men to un-
say what Washington said, and to
undo what Washington did. Neither
let US be slandered from our duty by
false accusations against US. Let US
have faith that ight makes might, and
IN that faith let us to the end dare to
do our duty as we understand it,"
We know we'll the nature of the
struggle in which we are engaged; we
are anxious only that the people of the
land shall understand it, and then our
battle is won. Behind the strong en-
trenchment Of the gold standard are
gathered all those favored classes it has
fostered, the only dangerous classes of
the land. Avarice and unholy greed
are there, every trust and combination
/: there. Every monopoly is there,
led by the greatest monopoly Of all,
the monopoly Of the powers of gold.
With US in our assault upon these en-
trenChments are all those unselfsh
men, who not now suffering themselves,
cannot rest content with conditions so
full of suffering for others, and that
vaster number Of people who have been
sacrificed to the small selfish class who
now resist their attempts to regain
their ancient rights and liberties
These are the patriots of 1896, the
foes of ssdishonest dollar" which en-
riches 10 per cent. of our people to
rob the rest, the defenders Of the
homes of the land, the public morals
and the public faith, both of which
alike forbid the payment Of govern
ment obligations in coin costiler to
those who have to pay than that the
contract calls for; the defenders Of the
honor Of the nation, whose most sacred
charge is to care for The welfare Of all
its citizens.
The free and unlimited coinage Of
silver is the sole remedy with which
to check the wrongs of to day, to undo
the ruin of the past and for our cause
and those cherished principles of JEFF
ferson and Jackson, which shall be our
guide on our return to power, "equal
and exact justice to all men," absolute
acquescence in decisions of the ma
jorty, the vital principles otrepublics,
the honest payment OF our debts and
sacred preservation of the public faith.

MAKING COKE.

The Virginia Coal and Iron Company,
doing business near Big Stone Gap, Va,
now has its extensive coke plant in ac-
tive operation and is turning out fine
quality of coke-just what was insured
by the coal of that section. AS result
OF their operations, freight traffic over
the ,: A and o. road has increased ma
terlally. This road hauls out to the gap
daily an average of about twenty-five
empty cars, and large number of cars
loaded with coke from the Gap to Bristol
TO be shipped thence to Embreville and
other points, where iron furnaces are
being operated. Double headers are used
In bringing the coke over the mountain.
and all the rolling stock of the company
mas 1t Is said, been called into active
use, in addition to the cars that are
brought from other roads. The lumber
and coal industries are also fairly active
and are furnishing their quota of traffic,
ana the silver mines are only waiting for
the triumph of the free and unlimited. =

The Proposed Electric Car Line Between
That City and the 'sField.''

The Proposed Electric Car Line Between
That City and the ''Field.'
If the electric line that is proposed as
continuation of the Blufield- Graham
eiectric car line is extended through the
coal helds, as suggested by the company
formed for that pupose, it would aid not
only every town it passed, but would be
the making of this city. Many of our
people are not alive to the Importance of
the enterprise. When it is understood
ehat a system of street cars can be run Mt
speed OF thirty or more miles per hour
u VIII DE readily apparent that the entire
coal field will be connected by rand
transit and will be in effect one large
town. Much of the business would
necessarily come to Bluefield, but at the
same time, as the road need not be con-
hned to the passenger traffic alone, but
couiu also carry express and light freight,
which would undoubtedly be of i'm
mense benefit to every business man in
the whole field, as it would at once create
competition, which would do away at
once and forever with the exhorbitant
freight rates now charged in many in
stances.
Leaving this side of the matter out of
.he question altogether, the benefits to
be derived from the construction of the
electric line will be incalculable. 1t will
promote social and business intercourse
among all the towns in the field. and
establish ready means of communica-
tlon ut moderate cost Let the rood
work proceed, and at once, if possible =
