Woman's auxiliaries of the Ar

All that is required in different

COMMUNICATIONS.

Editor Star-The following is
taken from an editorisl in the
Morning News of Ocala, August
I8, 1896, under the head Of Sound
Money Club"
"The true democrats still hold
that the sijverites have left the
principles of the democratic party,
and bounded eff with tie fusion
idea.
Let al patriotic citizens who
wish to defeat repudiatiop, anar-
cby, packing Of supreme courts,
and fraud, now ccme out aud or
ganize against them, for united
we stand, divided we fall"
Now, Mr.. Editor, while the
Morning. News may be edited by
an unbalanced boy, to The injury
OF Ocala, yet l think that such ar
ticles as the above should not be
passed by unEoticed. The Florida
state democratic convention, bound
Florida democrats to support the
platform adopted by the national
democratic convention at Chicago;
aud the platform of that conven-
ton declares for nothing but what
is truly democratic and for the in
terests of the great majority of the
masses of American citizens; ard
all true democrats will loyalty sup
port it and its nominees.
When the young man calls us

should be resented by all good cit

PEOPLE AND PLUTOCRACY

politics for more than quarter of
a century, do not yet understand
what has happened in the country,
but they do know that determin-
ed attack has been made upon the
intrenchments of their usurped
power over the people. One who
has watched them closely, with
good opportunities to understand
them, recently wrote of them that
they are as angry. as confused
and as anxious to sting as colony
of hornets whose nest has been
suddenly torn down.
There is no doubt at all that
they are deeply and bitterly enrag-
ed because of the straightforward
democratic declaration of indie
pendence adopted at Chicago.
They feel that if any party is al
lowed to win after repudiating
them and denying their right to
rule, they are likely to to lose con-
troll of the Government for years
to come, if not permanently.
There is, therefore, no likelihood
that the reports of the sums they
are raising to control the election
exag gerate their intentions. But
is it a case where S5o.oooooo or
Sloo, oCo. eco CT $500, .ooo can
stop the American people as they
move forward in phalanx to assert
their right to Liberty and self gov
ernm entl
If unlimited money can settle
the issue now before the country,
Bryan is beaten, the democratic
party is whipped and disorganized,
silver will be permanently demon
etized, gold will become the sole
standard of value in paying debts,
corporation notes without legal
tender quality will be the sole
money available Tor borrowers aud
for the payment of wages; the US
urped power { f the Federal courts
will be extended, government by
injunction will be established, til
al by jury will be abolished whcr.
ever PlutocraCy has need of haste
. in putting down the people; the
national debt will be perpetuated
and increased, bcrd issues in time
of psace will be continued TO form
basis fer corporation currency
and to prevent the free circulation
of gold; wages ard the products a
our industries Of farm and factCry
will be forced steadily downwards
the wealth OF the country will osn
tiuue to flow into the possession
of the few who arc already i'm
msnsely wealthy and the"commune
ef capital" VIII be permanently es
tablished on the ruins of a govern
ment in which Washington AID
jefferson saw the worlds hope fol
freedom, for equality, for justice!
If money in unlimited quantities
can control the American people
they will now be controlled and
enslaved. But can money con-
troll them?
They are already beginning to
answer the question. They an
swered it in Alabarsa the other
day. In Maryland where lccaI
elections have been held they have
shown that the purchase of their
bosses is not the purchase of their
votes. And in Tennessee they
have given a still more striking
proof of their determination to
vindicate their liberties.
Six months ago Tennessee was
q republican state by at least 2o,-

A Travelling Mans Opinion Of Himself

Editor OF The Times:
Sir.~I notice in you'll issue OF this date
an article on the probable introduction
OF $3.50 wheels from Japan. | do
not propose discussing the wheel or the
price. or the advisabilty Of admitting or
rejecting It's Introduction into this coun-
try.
L only wish to allude to the language
used by the Charleston News and Cou-
rier: The report that a New York house
will soon import high-grade bicycles from
Japan, TO be sold at $3.50 or SIS apiece,
naturally causes a sensation In every
part OF this country. 1t is probably not
a true report, as ii comes from a COM
mercial traveller, and gentlemen OF that
class are VIGOROUSLY fond or jokes
Now. IL is evident that If the author
of this language was an up.to-date man,
and habitually read the intelligent papers
from up-to-date cities, he would have seen
this proposition or statement months ago,
and would not have had TO rely on the
statement from the Joking travelling man.
Then it goes without saying that the
travelling man is his educator. 1t is sad
to note that Charleston, In consequence
of revolution and earthquakes and other
conditions, has so far departed from its
former greatness and glory. have ever
admired the once beautiful queen city OF
the Palmetto State. and wish for 1t re-
newed prosperity, and as the press Is
the greatest factor I'm promoting Advance
ment. will advise the editor OF the
News and Courier TO secure as many cor
respondents as possible from the ranks OF
the travelling men. They are recognized
by the more intelligent newspaper men
of this continent as well-informed and
strictly reliable. with only now and then
an exception, such as exists, even among
some so-called editors. They are not
only promotlve OF the commerce or the
country but are educators or the people,
and through their grand work ana IN
fuence friendly relations have been
brought about between all sections OF this
country and, in fact. between the ma
tions OF the earth. They penetrate the
remotest points on the globe. ever watch
ful for the interest of national and inter-
national commerce. always seeking val
liable information that they as willingly
impart to others.
In conclusion | would. with that kind
ness that emanates from the heart OF
pure travelling man. say TO the editor OF
the News and Courier: Elevate your
thoughts. and place yourself on that hish
plane attained by the travelling man
Respectfully, l. = ~
