GOD GIVE US MEN.

The following strong and beautiful
lines were written by Oliver Wen
dell Holmes. The HERALD has a
notion of keeping them standing at
the head of its columns until after
the next election; and we suggest to
the voters that they memorize them
and think of them when they go to
the polls:
"God give us men! A time like this de-
mands
Great hearts, strong minds, true faith and
willing hands;
Men whom the lust of Office does not kill
Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy;
Men who possess opinions and a will;
Men who have honor. men who will not lie
For while the rabble, with their thumb
worn creeds,
Their large professions and their little
deeds
Wrangle in selfish strife-lol Freedom
weeps,
Wrong rules the land and waiting justice
sleeps"

WATSON Is APPEALED TO.
Should Withdraw From the Ticket at
Once.
Only Serving to Weaken Cause They
Both Should Be Loyal TO.

ROANOKE, VA, Oct. 9.-The Roa-
noke Times will tomorrow print an
open letter from G.. w. B. Hale,
Populist National Committeeman
for Virginia, to Tom Watson, ask
ing the latter to withdraw from the
presidential ticket.
The letter says in part: Hon.
Thos. E. Watson: From a sense of
patriotic duty, write to urge you
to cease your opposition to fusion
where the same is generally believed
to be of an advantage to the i'm
mediate success of financial reform,
which you have so generously con-
tributed.
There is no earthly chance of your
election. If our cause wins in this
race Bryan and Sewall are elected.
While | greatly prefer Southern
man to vote for and a man who, like
yourself, has been in the forefront
of the battles hitherto fought for re-
form, yet | cannot hesitate to sup
port Mr.. Sewall, not only because of
his availability, but also because l
believe that if elected and the oppor-
tunity presents itself, Mr.. Sewall
would cOnscientiously carry out the
full text of the platform upon which
he is elected.
L am not one who thinks that be-
cause Mr.. Sewall is at present a
banker he is obdurate on the ques-
tion of national banks. L do not
blame the individual. l blame the
law that legislates national banks.
You say the man who votes for
Sewall had as we'll and could as con-
sistently vote for Hobart. The
former declares himself in favor of
free coinage at the ratio of l6 to l;
the other one favors monometal-
lism. Quite a difference, my l6 to |
friend. The former is willing right
now to establish free and unlimited,
and the latter is willing to postpone
action until Gladstone and the mer-
chants of England say so. The
former is tangible; the latter is
positively not so.
In conclusion, my dear sir, allow
me to emphasize that your stay on
the ticket jeopardizes the success OF
our cause, and that withdrawal or
your part would be heralded with
patriotic delight by many of oul
party friends, and largely by
those who esteem you as a great and
good man. Yours truly,
G. w. b. HALE,
Populist National Committeeman.

McKennon, Anderson & Foster.

"no Democratic convention could die
tate to him."
Gen. Buckner urged against the posi-
bility of the parity of the two metals,
coined at the ratio of Is to l, and used
wheat and corn for his illustration. He
said that supply and demand would
govern. That wheat represented gold,
and corn silver; that for a time last
year they were the same price, but as
soon as demand was made on wheat it
began to rise, and that then the parity
stopped. If, under the new law man
had bushel of wheat worth two dol
lars, (as a gold dollar would be) he
would sell that wheat and keep his
cheap corn to pay his debts with. That
would be fraud upon the creditor be-
cause it would be paying in something
less in value than it purported to be.
The argument of the silver men, as
first advanced by Mr. Harvey, is, that
the constant demand on the cheaper
money to pay debts with, would permit
neither gold nor silver to remain at
premium, but would, by changing the
demand from one to the other maintain
parity. In other words, that the never
ceasing call for cheap money, would of
itself create so great a demand that
neither money could become and re-
main any cheaper than the other; but
that the free coinage of both gold and
silver would make money cheaper, by
making it more plentiful.
Gen. Buckner attacked that plank in
the platform where the Supreme Court
is criticised. He said this court had en-
franchised the South that it had put a
stop to the carpet bag and bayonet rule
of the Republican party of the North,
and he condemned the effort to make
it partisan tribunal. And all this was
being done, he said, at the behests of
the silver mine owners. These men,
who, when the Force bill was before
Congress, had said to the Southern
Senators, if you don't vote for protec
ton to our silver, we will put this
iniquitous Federal force law on your
people. He eXcoriated the Force bill
and the "silver protectionists" who
threatened the South with it, but never
time did he say that one William Nc
Kinley, whose decoy duck he is, had
voted for it; and not only voted for it,
but voted to unseat Democrats that
their chairs might be occupied by rabid
Republicans who would vote like him
self, "to discipline the traitors of tn G
South"
Gen. Buckner's last point was per.
haps his most plausible one. He de.
MED that the free coinage of silver
would produce market for silver bull.
lion. The Sherman law, he said, had
made marketfor the bullion, because
the government bought it outright;
but under the free coinage law that is
not proposed. All that is proposed is to
take the bullion, coin it into dollars and
return the dollars to the original hold.
ers of the bullion. That would not
raise the price of bullion, because II
made no demand for bullion. 1t was

CARMACK is making a red hot
campaign and a gallant fight in the
Memphis district, and since the
boost Bryan gave him, his friends
are sanguine of success. The gold

fair that Carmack's friends in this
his old home district should make
up the losses for Bryan that he will

simply changing it from one thing into
another. 1t would be like the farmer
taking his wheat to the mill; if the
miller bought it, that was demand
and market; but If the miller said mol
will not buy it, but / will convert it in
to flour for you, the farmer then would
+. have -four instead of wheat to sell.
This would not create any demand for
flour, and therefore would advance its
price. Neither would the free coinage
of bullion create any demand for it, or
advance its price. Unless, indeed, the
Populists should do, as he had been told
they had threatened to do-repeal the
law of supply and demand.
This is the first time we have heard
this argument made, and so far as we
know, it is new and original with Gen.
Buckner. But the answer is easy and
simple. If, in one sense the law does
not create a demand for the bullion, il
converts it into something there is
already demand for, and that some
| thing is money. 1t enables the mine
owner, the silver producer, instead of
hunting a market for his product, to
use it, after its return from the mint,
into paying for itself. 1t enables him
instead of going to the gold producer
and borrowing from him-thereby
making demand upon and increasing
the price of gold, according to the gen.
tleman's own argument of supply and
| demand) instead of this borrowing pro
cess, it enables the silver mine owner
to pay his hands and conduct his bust
ness with his own money, and to in
vest his profits in other enterprises, in
stead of waiting to sell his bullion at
prices Wall street may choose to fix for
! him according to their idea of supply
and demand. In that way there is an
inexhaustable demand, and the bullion,
so converted into dollars, will quickly
find their way into the channels Of
| trade.
| Besides, we would ask Gen. Buckner,
or any of his reception committee, this
| question. If his argument is good
one against silver, why not against
gold? The government does not buy
the gold; it converts the bullion into
money and hands it back to it's owner.
How does that find its way into the
markets, into trade, out of the hands
and pockets of its original producers?
They claim that $500, 100000 of it is in
circulation, and that it is being rapidly
mined, coined and put in circula-
ton every day; so rapidly that it keeps
up with the ever increasing demand
made upon it by the daily growth of the
country. How is that done? How does
it get from the hands of the gold miner
into the channels of trade? Answer us
that. And whatever answer you may
make to that, will be true answer to
make TO the other. For il Mr.. Bryan
/ is elected, gold and silver, and the
owners of gold and silver bullion, and
| the gold and silver miners and mine
owners, will be treated exactly alike.

1t has long been conceded that Secre-
tary Seward made good bargain when
he negotiated the purchase of Alaska
from Russia; but the benefits of the
deal are proving of greater extent as a
better knowledge of our northern pos
sessions is obtained. Alaska will prob
ably never support a large population,
but will annually produce returns more
than justifying the purchase price. Be-
sides containing mines of untold rich
ness, Alaska sends great quantities of
fish and furs to the United States. Re-
ports from Sitka say that fifteen hum
dred otter skins were brought to the
traders there this season, besides the
furs of bears and foxes, aggregating in
value many thousands of dollars. In
the nomenclature of Alaska the name of
Seward should have prominent place,
as his discerning vision foresaw what
the eyes of other statesmen did not.
