Cotton mill men may think we are
impudent in making the assertion,
but we do not think they have a
proper comprehension of what con-
fronts their interests. We publish
an article IN this issue which pre-
sents statements and facts that are
worthy Of the earnest consideration
Of cotton manufacturers. If the
opinions of the most prominent bus
mess men Of the old world are indie
ative of anything, there is danger Of
compulsory closing up of all our
cotton mills at an early day unless
there is change in our financial
system.

Among the great lieutenants who
have been called on by Cleveland
and Whitney to lead the goldbugs to
victory ct Chicago Is Matt ". Ran
som. He was in consultation with
Whitney last week. This is the man
whom the Democratic party kept in
the Senate many years. This is the
man the Democratic party tried to
return to the Senate in 1894. This
is the man the Democratic party of
this State would send to the Senate
to day if it could. And yet the Dem
ocratic party is silver party!

pleasure in being able TO add my

much run down by overwork. For
several weeks had been obliged to
work Is hours daily ont of the "A.

physical and nervous exhaustion.

compound, with the result that my
strength has steadily improved, and

than / have known for years.
believe also that it has enabled
me to escape my periodical attack
of rheumatism. as every season since

WORTH FIGHTING FOR TO THE BIT
TER END.

There is one utterance in Presi-
dpnt Cleveland's letter, published
elsewhere, which has some force in
it. 1t is this: "a cause worth fight
ing for is worth fitting for to the
end" Yes, there is force in that;
but so far as he and his monopoly
associates are concerned it has d
perverted meaning. From his stand
point the cause of bonded indebted
ness, of continued depression, of
stagnatlon in general business, of
poverty and misery among the peo-
pie is worth fighting for, because
these conditions among the people
mean ACKNOWLEDGMENT and immense
wealth and unbounded luxury for a
few trust kings and gold owning syn
dicates. What the people are rob-
bed of is what constitutes the
wealth of these trust and monopoly
robbers.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

For impudept and audacious lying
that would make the devil howl with
envy, some old party papers are en-
titled to the Excelsior" banner. AS
ter a hot fight at the Republican
convention as to whether a strict
gold platform shhould be adopted or
not, and after one was adopted,
some Republican papers are trying
to impress the public that the party
and its nominee are friendly to sill
yer. Here is sample from the San
Francisco Chronicle (Rep.):
1.-The friends of silver cannot be
ignorant of the fact that Mr.. McKln-
ley is not owned by Wall street, and
they may be assured that white
metal will be kindly treated by him.
He has always been friendly to sill
yer. AS their servant, not their die
tator, will he enter the White House.

Now, one word more. It will be
seen from the above that Senator
Butler has been and is exactly in
line with that editorial; and it will
be observed that the frantic efforts
of these so-called Democratic silver
leaders, in trying to misrepresent
that editorial, make his suggestions
as to caution, timely and correct.

The Rocky Mountain Press says !:
"The withdrawal Of Senator Teller
and the delegations of the silver
States from the National Republican
convention at st. Louis is the first
step toward a new alignment of
parties in this country. The action
of the Colorado Senator and those
who followed his lead has been die
tated by an absolute devotion to
principle.

Mr.. Teller's speech which will do it
justice. Such impassioned words.

tives, and coming from SO true a

FIGHT OVER THE MONEY PLANK.

There were some delegates to the
convention who were unqualifiedly in
favor of the free coinage of silver, and
who had openly declared that they
would bolt gold standard platform.
These delegates, under the leadership
of Senator Teller, of Colorado, deter
mined to make a fight for silver all
the way through, beginning with the
committee on resolutions and fighting
to the last second in the convention.
They knew the fight was utterly hope
less, but they determined to stand by
their convictions and principles, and
then leave the party if that party ad-
vocated other principles.
So the fight began in the Committee
on resolutions on Wednesday. There
VS. one member of this committee
ffom each State, Mr.. Marshall L. Mott
representing North Carolina.
The group of silver men headed by
Senator Teller, of Colorado, announced
to their colleagues when the gold
plank in the platform was agreed upon
by vote of 40 to IL, that they had
reached the parting of the ways, and
that nothing remained for them but
to withdraw from the convention. II
was thought that there would be VIC
lent determinations and wild words OF
denunciatiOn when the final announce
ment Of the breach came, but instead
it was the parting Of old friends, in
sorrow, not in anger.
