THE SAME GID BRITISH BOND
HOLDERS

While the country people have very
limited acquaintance with the representa-
tive character of the list of six hundred
boilers that appeared in the Richmond
Times, they are still able to recognize some
representative character in some of them.
Those that head the list are particularly
noticeable. You have heard the name of
Mr.. VIM. L. Royal before; do you recollect
where? No! then we will tell you! Mr..
Royal was the agent of the British Bond
holders in their attempt to force the State
of Virginia to pay money that she did not
in justice owe, and that she was not able to
pay. He Is the agent who dragged the old
Commonwealth before all the u s. courts.
from the District up to the Supreme
Court, and cost her thousands of dollars
spent in her effort to protect her people.
For harryirg the people of Virginia MI
Royal got $4,000 year from the British
Bondholders.
He is in about the same business now
that he was then, with slight difference.
for he was then trying to get the people
down; and now they are down he is
trying to hold them down in the interest
of the Money Power.
In the same list of signers we see heads
o. large corporations which are as
directly dependent on the railroads for
their existence, as MI. Royal is Oh the
owner of the Times, Of which he is editor,
for his weekly salary.

Sewall club. He holds the largest railroad


interest in West Virginia.
President M. E. ingalls, of the G. & o.,
has taken the stump for Mckinley. In a
speech at Hinton, w. Va, Tuesday night,
he announced his intention to vote for him.
He denied that the road employees would
be coerced and said he would not allow any
Official to coerce or intimidate them.

POLITICAL NOTES.

Sam'l w. Small, who has just returned
from trip through Kansas, Nebraska and
lllinois,was at Democratic headquarters il,
Washington last week, and said sThe
man who thinks that the silver wave il le
creasing is very much mlstaken-1 think
that the sentiment is being intensified
every day. The PrehIbitionists will, in nv
opinion, vote very generally for Bryan and
SeMallll.-~fn Ohio should say that $4,000
Prohibitionists will vote for the ticket.
Bryan. you know, is temperance man,
neither drinking, smoking OF chewing. l
am confident that the Democrats will sweep
the middle west.' Mr.. Small has offered
his services to the National Democratic
Committee to speak for Bryan and SewalI.
They were promptly accepted and Mr..
Small will be sent to the Western States.
Col. Thos. F. GOode of the Buffalo Lithia
Springs. a brother of Col. Sam. Goode of
Augusta county. who has just returned
from trip through the Northwestern
States, says the silver sentiment is spread
ing like prairie fire. He believes th at
Bryan will carry Michigan and Illinois.
and doubtless Indiana and Ohio. Col.
Goode is close and impartial observer.

IT HAS NOT RUN THE GOLD OUT.

IT HAS NOT RUN THE GOLD OUT.
One of the favorite ''bugaboos' Of the
of the "financiers'' is the theory that if
free silver coinage is begun, the $500, 1000, 900
of gold now in the United States will go
out Of the country. Well, we have
heard that for now eighteen years and it is
high time that under the past coinage of
silver the gold had gone. The coinage
of silver dollars UNLIMITED legal tender)
was begun in 1878, and if you will look
back at the U. S. Treasury's annual state
ments from that year on. you will find that
the holdings of gold coin and bullion which
in 1878 was S12S, AGO ,2O3, went on increas-
ing every year until in 1890 they were 1921 )
612,423. You will hardly believe it, but in
that twelve years, between 1878 and 1890.
the sum of S437 1921 ,l54 standard silver dol
lars, legal tender for unlimited amount,
were coined. This half billion of silver
has not affected the gold in the coun-
try at all. 1t is here in superabundance;
not in circulation as it never has been,
but here. Let the government announce
a coming loan, and you will see the streams
of yellow metal pouring out and the offers
will be from six to sixteen times as much
as the government calls for.
The bugaboo Of gold going out is like
that other one about the country being
ruined if it went on a silver basis. You
might put the United States on silver
basis tomorrow and the transition from
gold would be hardly noticeable.

a " NEW CRAZE,n

Every agent of the bondholders who can
fitd nothing else to say against the free
coinage of both gold and silver, contents
himself with calling it new craze.
This statement only shows their igno-
rance. 1t has been discussed for exactly
tWenty-three years. 1t was discussed at
the sessions of congress when the demone-
tization of silver was effected. Ithas been
steadily discussed ever since that, by such
distinguished men as John G. Carlisle, Jas.
G. Blaine, John Sherman. and other men
OF equal prominence, whose utterances
always attracted the attention of the coun-
try.
A bill authorizing free coinage OF silver
has passed each house of congress at diff
erent times and there have been two
Presidents in the White House since 1880
ready to sign free silver bill in case it had
gone to them from the other end OF Penn.
sylvania Avenue.
New craze! Why thousands of young
men, both Republicans an5 Democrats.
will vote for free silver next November
who were not born when the agitation for
it commenced.

a TRUE BLUE DEMOCRATIC
PAPER.

1t is great comfort to those of us Dem
ocrats who live away from the capital to
know that there is published there such a
true-blue Democratic paper as the Rich
mond Dispatch. The Dispatch, like every
other Democrat, has it's own opinions be
fore the nominations; but after the party,
State or National, speaks, it is for the par
ty, and stand like tower flour square to
every wind that blows.' When the battle
begins it is at the front and is never found
back with the wagon train discussing
whether the battle is to its mind, prepara.
tory to boiling to the enemy.
The County Democratic Committees
would be doing good work if they would
send the weekly Dispatch to every Demo.
GRAFT in their county. 1t is only 25 cents
for three months.
The Richmond Times is being dumped
in big bundles at stations along the rail
roads, and a Democratic paper should GER
tainly be sent along to neutralize its ad.
vice to Democrats to become deserters.

Il The tide was with him. Last Monday all
was changed; the tide is running strong
against him. He appeared In the charac
ter that the people so much dreaded

Stockholders. And to it was added the
knowledge on the part of the people that
every argument he made, every word he
said if 1t had any effect at all would aid to
elect Mckinley and rivet on them for four
years more the chains of poverty and suf

ssthing practical, be stood for Mckinley and
McKinleyism.
For Cameron's sake we wish the cam
paign over. He is in strange harness and
running in opposition to the mass of the
people is new business to him. He will
do the boiling Democrats no good. This
movement in favor of free coinage is, as
far as Virginia is concerned, almost
duplication of the readjuster struggle
