The free silver advocates are
continually telling the people that
we must have silver because 1t is
THE MONEY OF THE coNsrITU.

reiterated that there are prob
ably many people in the United
States who think that the Con-
stitution in some way prescribes
the coinage of silver in the mints,
or otherwise formally eDjoins it's

Nothing could be much further
from the truth. The constitu.

q fraud. and We trust that our
Republican voters will rot be led
into their trap.
The Republican party has al
ways been sound and reliable on
every great National question. 1t
has never wayered. It has kept
straight forward. 1t can be
trusted on the money question,
just as itcan on the tariff ques.
ton. When it gets back into
power. as it is sure to dc, in the
coming election, it will revise the
tariff, so as to get more money
IN the National treasury than is
necessary to pay out. Our mills
and factories will then start up
again. Idle labor will be en-
ployed. Money, which IS already
plentiful. will be put into eircula-
ton. Farmers willhave markets
for their surplus products. Our
home markets will not be inun-
dated with foreign manufactur.
ed wares. Our gold will be kept
at home, instead of being sent
abroad to pay for manufactured
products. which should be made
in our own country. The old
price of wool and all farm pro-
ducts will be restored. The hum
of industry will again fill the
land, and prosperity will loom
up on every hand.
Again, we say to our Republi.
can brethren, don't allow your
selves to be led away by Demo
cratic tricksters after false gods.
The free silver cry is the wailof
the leaders of the Democratic
party whose ship is sinking.

party has had its grip on the

the majority of the voters of w.

they fraudulently and outrage
ously counted out Governor Golf
and three Republican Congress
men. all of whom had been hon
estly elected. Surely now, no
one is to be beguiled into the
Democratic ranks on the subter-
fuse of free coinage of silver or
any other false issue.

q Warning to
Republican
Voters.
To The Republican Voters Of
West Virginia

There is an old saying taat "a
drowaing man will catch at a
straw This is true. The Demo
cratic party OF West Virginia,
and, indeed of the Nation also,
sees that it is doomed to an early
grave, because Of its un-Ameri.
can position on the Tariff. and
in its extremity has gone over to
the Populists on the money ques-
ton, with the hope of making q
new issue and thus draw the at
tention of the people away from
the Tariff, which is the real and
only issue before the country.
Like the cutie fish, they are
muddying the water so as to
evade the destruction OF their
party at the hands of an enraged
people. The masses in all politi-
cal parties are honest. Demo.
cratic leaders are not always
honest. Their record by no
means is an envlable one. In
ls74.'75 they took up Greenback.
Ism just as they are now juggling
with silver. 1t was a craze with
them, just as it is now. 1t is
simply last ditch fighting. Politi.
cal death is staring them in the
face hence it is now to them
the unlimited free coinage OF
silver or death. or both. The
people repudiated greenbackism
when they were made to see its
fallacy. So they will repudiate
the free and unlimited coinage
OF silver craze. when they come
to understand it. They will not
be long getting on to the present
scheme of Democratic leaders,
and when they see that is only a
Democratic trick to epsnare Re-
publican voters. they will drop
it Just asthey dropped the rag
baby in 1874 and 70.
The Democratic party has had
q fixed policy on the money ques-
ton. The Repub licah party has.
The Repub lican party gave to
the United States the best none
tary system of the world. We
never had a particle of trouble
with our finances as long as the
Republican party was in power.
During its 80 years control of the
Government, gold, silver and
paper were kept on par with
one another, aad the country
was prosperous. AS soon as the
Democrats got into power, they

said in part 1.-The tendency in
this country is towards utilitari-
anism. Poetry he exclaimed is
the most important branch Of
literature, considered pedagogic-
ally. Modern educational sys-
tens are usually defective in the
appeal they make to the emotions
of the young. This was not the
case with the Greeks who used
music and poetry to make such
appeals. We should follow their
example and use literature,
especially poetry, chiefly for the
purpose of imparting ideas. and
thus affecting the soul rather
than for the purpose of impart-
ing facts and thus affecting the
mind. Hence literary criticism
and history as we'll as philology
should be sparingly used in
school classes devoted to litera-
ture, because these studies Though
valuable, are not literature and
do not appeal strongly to the
emotions. School work ID litera.
ture should be freed as far as
possible from the technicalities
of criticism and from mech anical
methods of teaching and Should
have for the chief object the
stlmulat ion Of the pupil sense
for beauty and truth ana good
ness through an appeal tofhis
emotions made by sympathetic
reading and Interpretation Of the
simple masterpieces.
Experience and theory alike
convince US that this is them
fruitful use that can be made of
literature both in schools and in
lower classes in colleges. Critical
teaching of literature should be
chiefly confined to the upper
classes IN colleges and Universe.

go, read the next paper. Litera-
ture in Elementary Schools we
note a few points in this able
paper.
Literature is recognized as a
course of study for elementary
schools, and as such presents
two topics for consideration.
First, here and there is a sylla-
bus Of literature for the young,
proposed by literature loving
teachers. Those syllabi are in
reality formulated accounts of
interesting and successful efforts
to make this great study of the
human heart, as presented in the
beauty and power OF thought and
language. part of the school
life. Literature is revelation
OF the possibilities of the soul. lit
makes the self realize the per.
sonal' its individual possibility.
When the course in literature is
prescribed for the school, the
teacher has no choice but goes as
the tool of a superior not as one
who having found life giving
thought must share it with the
children.
The second topic presented is
the method Of literature below
the high schools, Choice of
words, construction of sentences
punctuation, all may be grouped
under the technique of language.
The same law holds here as in
other objects. Technique must
be developed from and out Of
thought. Thought cannot be de.
veloped from and ont of tech.
nique. The danger of excessive
analysiscannot be overestimated.
