justice is on our side and this is
the cause of the people. 1t is "a

The Next PRESIDENT fthe United States
The Populists held their State

The Populists held their State
convention at Parkersburg on
Wednesday OF this week. Col. n.
W. Fitzgerald and w. Scott Garner,
two of the Preston delegates, start
ed for that city on Monday, so as
to be early on the ground. In a
conversation before leaving Mr. Gar
ner said:
1.-The Populists hold the key of
the situation in West Virginia, and
1t is to be hoped they will use it
wisely. I believe the convention
will put out II straight Populist
ticket, with the exception Of Gov
Iernor. For that office they will
probably endorse Mr.. Rslphsnyder,
If the Democrats shall nominate
him at Wheeling, on account Of his
we'll known advocacy of the resto-
ration Of silver to the place it occu
pied IN our coinage prior to 1873,
and his position on other financial
reforms. Free silver has been one
Of the three leading Populist de
mands for years, and they will aid
IN It's success this campaign. No
other gentleman now before the
democracy OF this State occupies a
satisfactory position on that ques-
ton, and it can be said that no
other will secure the endorsement
Of the Peoples party"

The political fight this year is
not between Democrats, Repu Bill
cans, Populists or Prohibltionists
1t is fight between Gold and Sill
yer; a fight between Capital and
Labor. That's tho fight. With the
money power on one side and the
common people on the other. Read
the papers and you will find the
we'lthy Dem ocrats hocking to the
gold standard and on the side OF
Capital, and there is great Joy in
Monopolistictown. On the other
side, we find that great army Of
laborers, farmers aud all the rest
Of the wealth producers focking TO
the silver standard, and there is
corresponding Joy in the Lord
camp ia tho wilderness. They are
camping in the hills, in the noun
tains aud in the valleys, and on the
third day OF November they will
SCOOP down on old Johnny Bull
and his gold standard for the third
time in the history of our country
and exterminate him from the face
OF American soil.

day that is not on silver basis.
Second-That there is not
gold standard country in the world
10 day that does not use silver as
money along with gold.
Third--That there is not a sill

o-day that uses any gold money
along with silver.
Fourth-That there is not a sill

third as much money in circula.

have and
Fifth-That there is not q sill
erstandard country in the world
to-day where the laboring man re-.
ceives fair pay for his days work.
John G.. Carlisle, Secretay of the
Treasury.
The above FIVE propositions oc-
cupy conspicuous position, III
large type in the Latelligencer.
Mr.. Carlisle's own answer is as fol-
lows
1.-The conspiracy which seems to
have been formed here and IN
Europe 10 destroy by legislation
and otherwise from three sevenths
to one-half Of the metallic money
of the world, of the most gigantic
crime of this or any other age.
The contamination of such q
scheme would ultimately entail
more misery upon the human race
than all the wars, pestilence and
famires that ever occurred in the
history of the world.
For further answer consult Mr..
Blaine. lie Gays
81 believe the struggle now go
ing on in this country and in
other countries for single gold
standard would, if successful pro-
duce widespread disaster in and
throughout the commercial world.
The destruction OF silver and estab-
fishing gold as a sole unit of value
must have a Tuinous effect upon all
forms Of property except those I'M
proYements which yield a fixed re-
turn in money. Tt is impossible
to strike silver out OF existence as
money without results which will
prove distressing TO millions and
disastrous 10 tens of thousands.
believe gold and silver coin to be
the money OF the constitution in.
deed, the money of the American
people anterior to the constition
which the great organic law recog-
nized as quite independent Of its
own existence. No power con-
ferred on congress TO declare either
! metal should DO money. Con.
gress has, in my judgement, No
power to demouetize silver ans
more than to denonotize gold.-
