Evidences multiply that the Watts
mind regarding the tate OF their caudl-
date and are nov ready to ESQ 10 any
and every scheme to save him, from
trading off other candidates. even Bry-
an himself, to cfrcctinG the fusion with
the popullstS which failed some time
since. Realizing that the cause of free
silver Is lost In West Virginia, they nov
propose 10 center all their efforts on the
state ticket.
The Intclligcnccr has already called
attention to the plan TO trade local can
dIdatcs for Watts. and that some such
scheme Is on foot we have positive In
formation. II IS not likely 10 succeed.
FOR the local Democratic candidates.
even In Republican counties. as a rule,
will refuse to be sacrificed in such II
manner. and Republican voters are too
loyal to their own standard bearer, Mr..
Atkinson. to bctray him In so base n
manner. The effort will be made by the
Popocrltic managers. however, and 1t
will be we'll for all honest voters TO keep
q sharp lockout.
II seems also that the national Bryan
hangers have become so alarmed owe
the situation In West Virginia that they
have issued an order to the STATE ma
chine to make another effort to form a
fusion with the Populists. This plan IL
also doomed 10 defeat unless the POpu-
list leaders have lost their self respect,
and the I]ntclliGcnccr dozen not believe
they have.
The proposition Is to withdraw Cen
cral ST. Clair and Hon. S. V. Wood from
the PopocratIc electoral ticket and sub
tors at large. The PnpulIsts. it Will be
Remembered. entered into negotiations
for such 4 fusion after the Wheeling
convention. In good faith, only to find
that the Watts managers were not act
ing In good faith. and 1t Is not likely
that they Will be led into another deal.
The PopulIsts of West Virginia are. as
q rule. In line with their national organ
izatlon In demanding that Scwall be
withdrawn from the ticket before IN
effective fusion can be formed. In n
letter written by thu Pnpuli3t candidate
for vice President. Tom Watson. two or
three days ago. he clearly showed how Il,
~ impossible for the Popullsts OF the
country to endorse any fusion that does
mt provid,. that the electors given 10

for Bryan and Watson. "Pnpullst

nftrr the fashion Of Grover Cleveland.
| They may not be able to break UP the

Watson went on to say that the l'opu-

lNIs. "Thsy feel instinctlvcly that the

for Sewall Is the beginning OF the end Of

revival of business for few months, but
has no hope that 1t would add anything
to the market value of Colorado mining
stocks. Here are two good reasons why
Major Mckinley should be the next
president. Certainly it would be re-
lief to have temporary revival of bust
tess, though its temporary character is
not admitted. The Republican could
scarcely name better reason for his
election than the permanent wiping out
of fictitious prices on sO-called mining
stocks. There 10 no reference here to

ing mineral. Mining is a legitimate
business, as much so as the raising OF
grain or live stock, but gambling in
stocks issued on shares on prospect holes
is even worse than buying options on
grain or pork. In the latter case the law
would enforce delivery on a given date,
but there can be no delivery of thing
which does not exist. This applies to
most of the stocks which are knocked
about the mining exchanges in Colorado.
If the Republican has other good reasons
for the election of Mckinley his friends
will hear them with pleasure.-Wichita

AMONG the callers at the national
Republican headquarters Friday were
Governor Hastings of Pennsylvania,
Hon. Ben Butterworth of Ohio,
and Senator Spooner of Wisconsin.
All were pleased with the change Of
sentiment that had taken place in the
last month, and they are all confident
of victory in November. The reports
that keep coming in at headquarters
point to the truth of the statement
that the Democratic national COM
mittee has passed the word down the
line Of fight for the legislative ticket
and thus secure the balance of power
by capturing the United States Sem
ate, even at the cost of votes for
Bryan. These reports come from all
directions. and they indicate that the
committee has given up the hope Of
the Presidential ticket winning. and
only hope Of saving the Senate and
gaining some Con9reomnen.

The very earliest reference, we believe,
to money is found in connection with a
commercial transaction in which Abra-
ham was one of the contracting par ties
The money used was silver, but it was
sound money. as the record is very care
full to set forth. 1t was the purchase of
q cemetery lot of EphrOn. the Hittite.
The owner offered to give it, but when
Abraham insisted on buying it Ephron
said in was worth 400 shekels of silver,
and-Abraham paid him the price, spot
cash, the 400 shekels of silver, and the
record adds, ''current money with the
merchants The word money is not
in the original Hebrew, which simply
says: "FOur hundred sheckels Of silver
current with the merchants" In those
days the merchant was really peddler,
going back and forth between different
tribes and peoples, and they had to use
money which was current wherever they
went. 1t is as true now as then that
money, to be good money, must be cur

The Globe Democrats correspon-

interesting information concerning
affairs in Mexico, and the condition
of business on a silver basis. The
following paragraph shows how Kan
sas corn appreciates in value in a
distance of one thousand miles, in be-
ing transported from country on q
gold basis to country on silver
basis:
''The plain people who work for
SOC day in fields producing 500
pounds of 1Sc cotton to the acre pay
7c a quart for shelled corn. That is
the way business on two money stand
ards works between the United States
and Mexico. Somewhere there are
mammoth profits between corn worth
19c bushel in Kansas and the same
corn retailing for 7c quart in the
Nazas Valley. From the condition
of supply to the condition of demand
is three days journey by rail. 1t
is true the 19c in Kansas means gold
and the 7c quart in Mexico means
silver. But when the &c is cut in two
the margin is still enormous"
