Much interest is being manifested
over the State in the movement to raise
funds to place head-stones at the graves
of the North Carolina Confederate
soldiers at Winchester, Va.
1t seems to have been a surprise to
many of our people that there were
four hundred and forty-eight North
Carolina soldiers buried together in
one plot of ground-whose graves have
no head-stones; and that the graves
Of the soldiers from every State had
suitable head-stones provided by the
people of their respective States.
In other instances the people of the
the regiments are engaged in raising
the requisite amount to place head
stones at the graves of the soldiers
belonging to their respective regiments.
In other instances the people of the
county are engaged in raising the
funds necessary to place the stones at
the graves of the soldiers from that
county. But there are some counties,
and still some regiments in which
there have yet appeared no representa-
tives who appear to take any interest
in the matter.

ELECTRIC BITTERS.

Electric Bitters is medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gem
orally needed in the spring, when the
languid exhausted feeling prevails,
and the need Of a tonic and Alternative is
felt. A prompt use of this medicine
has often ayerted long and perhaps
fafal bilious fevers. No medicine win
aci more surely in counteracting and
freeing the system from the malarial
poison. Headache, Indigestion, Con-

Bitters. Only fifty cents at bottle at

American carriage, in what is called
American commerce, is now but half as
larUe as in 1889.
When we had shipping of our own,
and merchants of our own people TO
carry on our ,rade, we had no fears
of adverse balances and the export OF
gold. There was then no nation, rival
or enemy, that could strip us of our
wealth. Now there is, and the world
knows that a foreign marine is a strip
ping machine. A famous Englishman
laid down this maxim for his country S
guide: whatsoever commands the sea
commands The trade; whatsoever COM
mands the trade of the world com
mands the riches Of the world, and,
consequently, the world ITSELF
ut is Incorrect to speak of 'protec-
ton as a national policy, for that it
can never be, because it can never be
other than the fostering of special in
terests at the expense of the rest; and
this overthrows the great principal Of
equality before the law, and that re-
resultant sense Of justice and equity
in the administration Of sovereign
powers, which is the true cause of
domestic tranquility and human con-
tentment. Inc value of protective
taxation to it's beneticiaries consists
in it's equality, for without discrimina-
ton in favor of some one there is no adj
vantage to anyone, and if the tax is
equally laid on all, all will be kept
upon the relative level from which they
started; and this simply means a high
scale of living to all, high cost of pro
duction of everything, and consequent
inability to compete anywhere outside
the orbit of such restrictive laws"

recent events, instead of bringing me
to believe in the single gold standard,
have had quite the opposite result. For
the world at large to abandon the use
of silver as money would be to greatly
enhance the power of gold, to greatly
diminish the volume of money, and
thereby the borrowing classes and the
producing classes would be more at the
mercy of the money holders than they
ever have been heretofore. The United
States is a silver producing country, and
l do not believe it can afford to let those
nations not silver producing compel it
to abandon silver as a money.
'It is better that we should, if neces-
Eary. buy gold at a premium to settle
our foreign balances with than hat the

The Nevada Senator's Caustic Letter to
the Philadelphia Bishop.

The following caustic letter has been
addressed by Senator Stewart of Nevada
to Bishop Newman, who recently gave
vent to a savage attack on Mr.. Bryan
and his platform:
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6, 1896.
Bishop John p. Newman, Methodist
Episcopal Church, Philadelphia:
DEAR SIR am panied to see in the
public press a statement to the effect
that you have joined the enemies of
your country to Cypress and rob the
great mass of your fellow citizens.
If the published quotations from your
speech are correct, you have Endorsed
the clandestine legislation of 1878,
whereby one half of the metallic money
of the world was destroyed and the
value of the other half doubled. You
have also Endorsed the schemes of the
money powers of London and New York
to control the gold of the world, adj
vance its purchasing power, reduce the
value of property and services, and
thereby build up a money oligarchy on
the ruins of the republic.
There is no Excuse for "a man Of your
intelligence to advocate the gold stand
ard. You know that the purchasing
power of gold has been advanced by
fraudulent legislation and wicked ma
nipulation fully 100 per cent; that the
rich nave been made richer and the poor
poorer; that the government of the
United States is fast becoming "a gov
eminent Of plutocracy. In former days
you mourned over the practices by which
the earnings Of the masses were trans
ferred to a few. Now you even go so far
as to advocate the election of William
Mckinley, who indorses the policy of
Grover Cleveland, of John Sherman, of
Pierpont Morgan, and Of the agents Of
the Rothschilds on both sides of the At
lantic. Doyou know that William Nc
kinley, or rather Mr.. Hanna, who con
trolls the action Of Mr.. Mckinley, con-
power "to coin money and regulate he
value thereof, y although the constitu-
ton expressly confers such power?
L thank you that you have told the
people your evil purposes. This may
have been indiscreet on your part, but !
assure you that it will put honest men
on guard against the wicked work you
propose, and perhaps your evil boasting
may prove a boomerang and a benefit to
the cause of honest money and honest
men. Yours truly,

PLAIN TALK.
Indiana's Historian Roundly Denounces the
Greatest Falsehood of the Age.


The following was written by the
eminent historian John Clark Ridpath
i'll response to an inquiry by Frank Ho-
ran, chairman of the Democratic central
committee of the Fifth Indiana district,
as to whether Mr.. Ridpath would run
for congress on a Democratic ticket.
He had always been a Republican:
"There is just one great question be-
fore the American people, and that is
whether they will be compelled by the
international gold conspiracy, having
its bifurcations in London and New
York, to transact their business and in
particular to pay their debts with a cor
nered dollar worth two for one, fraud
ulently substituted for the dollar of the
law and the contract, or whether they
(the peOple) will reclaim their right
to transact their business and pay their
debts according to the terms of the con-
tract and according to justice.
"It is said by the emissaries Of the
gold propaganda that they who advo-
cate the restoration of our coinage and
money to the exact condition which it
held prior to the act of 1878 are dishon-
est; that they wish to coin 90 cents
worth of silver into a dollar and COM
pei creditors to accept that in lieu of an
honest dollar. Than this there never
was a greater sophism and falsehood.
What the people desire and what they
intend to do is to coin 100 cents worth
Of silver-that is, q dollars worth, or
37114 grains, Of silver-into a dollar,
and by that act to break the corner on
gold and reduce the exaggerated pur-
chasing power of that metal to it's nor
NAL standard.
eff any nan dare say that 371A
grains of pure silver are not a dollars
worth, let him be challenged with the
question whether that amount of un-
coined silver will not purchase as much
of the average of 20 of the great staples
of the American market, including real
estate and labor, as the same silver
would purchase 25 years ago. Let him
answer that truly or forever afterward
hold his peace. AS a matter of fact the
uncoined silver in the American dollar
will buy more of the average of our
great staples than the same would buy
in 1875.
"What then? The limited supply of
gold i'll the world has been cornered by
those who WI it. They are few-very
few-and the people are millions. The
price of the cornered gold has advanced
more and more, until it has become
worth almost two for one. All the while
coined gold has concealed the fallacy
that is i'll it. The gold eagle still pro-
;laims itself $40, although it has ad.
vanced in purchasing power until it is
nearly $40. Under this obscure and
fraudulent process all productive indus.
tries have been crushed to the earth.
They who labor in the fields and shops
have been virtually ruined.
"The claim that gold coin is the
Sound money, the honest money, OF
the world, and that silver money-real
primary silver money, of our old statu
tory ratio-is dishonest and unsount
money is the most false, as it is The
most adroit, proposition ever put fortl
by interested parties to defraud the peo
pie of a great nation"

THE GREAT QUESTION
We Dare Not Intrust Our Affairs to Those
Who Doubt Our Nations Potency.

Who DOUBT Our NatIODiS IOJeIcy.
My friends, i'll this campaign there is
only one great issue. II that is settled,
it will not give us II government perfect
in all its details, but that one question
must be settled first before other qucS-
tions can be settled.
A nation that is not able TO adopt its
own financial policy is too impotent to
lcgislate on any question where the peo-
pie are concerned. We do not say that
our opponents are insincere. We do not
say they are less honest than we, but
we do say that when they attempt to
say to the American people that we
must be dependent upon the Legislative
act of some other government, WI say it
matters not how honest they may be,
we dare not intrust legislation to their
hands.
| have said that i'll this contest we
have Il repetition Of the contest Of 1916,
and that i'll this campaign, as i'll that, Il
line will he drawn between the patriot
and the Tory, and when [ say it | do
not say il, my friends, to criticise the
MAJ who believes that this nation is
not great enough to lcgiSlate for its own
people. He believes it honestly, aud |

~ There W"r, thu>, who honestly tn

Britain.
In this they were but mistaken, and
if you go to the cemeteries you will find
no monument reared by IA grateful peo-
pie to commemorate the name of those
who thought English domination should
continue. There are people today who
believe that this nation is not strong
enough to legislate for our people, anu
there are people who honestly believe
that an attempt to do so would bring
distress and many evils. We may re-
spect their honesty, but must we enter
into q life and death struggle with them
because we assert here that the tinan-
cial domination by a foreign power is
as dangerous to the liberties of the peo-
pie as political domination?-Eryan at
