For poor man to vote silverism
because he is told that il will injure
the rich man is as foolish as if he
should purposely catch the small
poX in order to give it to the rich
man. Silvcrism will iniurc the
rich man, but the same evils of sill
verism will iniure the poor man
more in proportion, because he has
no resources except his labor and
its products, while the rich man
has his wealth, even though it be
diminished by silvcrism. Silverism
will make the rich poorer, but it
will ruin the poor, and make them
desperate and cause them TO blame
the men of property for the evils
of silvcrism that the poor have
helped vote on themselves. The
desperation of the people when
they find they have been deceived
by the better informed siiverite
leaders is what the conservative
gold standard men fear most. The
danger is they will be ready for a
revolution and war, that again will
only intensity evils, and will end
in the masses being in still worse
condition, if they don't lose the
freedom gained by the War of In
/ dependence IN l775-l7S3.

We would like to know how the
ordinary farmers and laborers
among the Bath county silveritcs
expect to he benefited by the silver
law proposed by the Chicago plat.
form.
Such a law instead of making
more money is absolutely certain
to instantly reduce the quantity OF
money in circulation to one-third
what it is now. No silverite can
put up any argument to prove 9th.
erwise that can stand the test OF
reason and fact. With only one
dollar in circulation Tor, in other
words, two iifty-cent dollars J where
there are now three 100 cent dollar:
does any silverite labOrer or farmer
think times will improve?
And the trouble is, when gold is
demonetized, as it would be- by the
proposed silver law as far as HTac
teal results are concerned, theSe i:
no way to supply its place except
by the tedious, slow coinage OF si'

then things will be in sad va,
indeed and that isS-hatit realk
must come to if the silver ~aw i
enacted. Silver cannot be .coine,
fast enough, and paper will be is
sued in its place. a paper do!'a
will be worth something or notI
ing, depending on how w'id tn
people continue in their nctlurs o

Conference Oyer Silver.

Washington, Jan. 27.-During the ses- sion of the senate to-day there were numerous conferences between the sil- yer and anti-silver democrats and re- publicans and democrats. There was every evidence of a desire to get to- gether on the finacial question. Should there be any compromise 1t can only come after the silver men have put the senate on record on the free silver sub- stitute This contetmplates the green backs and treasury notes by the issu- ance of $500, ,000, 900 of gold bonds, a dec- laration that all outstanding bonds of the government shall be paid in gold regardless of the language used and the opening of the United States hints to the free and unlimited coinage of silver. This scheme, which apparently gives the gold men all they ask and the silver men all they have been demanding is meeting with opposition, especially among the ranks of the sound money men on the democratic side of the cham Der and the silver republicans. Of course it is a tentative proposition, as are many others that are being broach- ed. The belief is strong, however, that no common ground can be reached Whereon the contending elements can stand.
