THERE are men in this county
who are lon" past tie meridian of
life, and who are supposed to be
intelligent enough to vote comprc~
hcnsivcIy on the question of free
coinage, yet their understanding
of free coinage of silver at a ratio
of 16 to l is. that if our govern
ment coins unlimited silver ut this
ratio they will oct sixteen silver
dollars where they oct one gold
dollar now. They have the i'm
preston that the price of their
labor or the value of the products
of their labor will be increased
sixteen times. On the other hand.
they imagine that the purchasing
power Of their Is to | dollar will
remain equal to our present dollar.
and under such conditions "who
would not be for free silver, they
cxclaim. 1t is to such ignorance
the silver men are appealing.

The London "Financial News
remarks that it IS needless to 90
beyond the British trade returns
for an explanation of Il good deal
of the financial trouble in the tni-
ted States. Under the present tar
if law, it points out, Great Britain
has closed many Of our woolcn mills
and textile factories and gathered in
the money that we spend for various
fabrics: and then she has loaned
millions Of our own gold back to
Us, and taken Il mortgage on the
national credit. All of which
means that every good citizen
should vote the Republican ticket
this year, and help to put stop
to such Il ruinous policy. Globe

THE Democrats say the tariff
question is dead issue. No doubt
they would like to have it so.
They are trying to dnll their ears
to the voice of the people as it rolls
up with evcr-increasing volume
from the east. west, north and
south. calling in thunder tones upon
Mckinley and the Republican par
ty to lead the country back to pro-
lection and prosperity. No nlan
can listen to that voice and yet be
| ignorant of the fact that the tariff
is the livcliest issue of the day. Go
back to the election returns of 1894
and 1895. Do they mean that the
people of the United States ar.
satisfied with the Democratic tariff
policy and desire to let the matter
rest until such a time when that
party will have another opportun
ity to make another cut into tn.
vitals of our manufacturing interest:
the very foundations upon whicl
the Republican party built up ;
national prosperity that was-yes
was: but since the reform policy o.
the Democratic party went into
effect, no longer is-the wonder
and envy OF the whole world.
| No man who is conservative OF
the tariff question has even thu
slightest chance to win the Rcpub
lican presidential nomination. Ree'
was for moderation. yet his OWL
section is sending Mckinley dele
gates to st. Louis. Protection fo
home industries and employment
for American labor is the battle
cry of the Republican hosts and i
being re-echocd throughout tn
} length and breadth of our land hA
the men who are leaving the Demo
cratic party to flock around tn
standard of the man who will n,ak'
tariff for protection as we'll 4
for revenue. the leading issue o
the presidential campai gn-tha
man is William Mckinley.

The dictates of conscience is
urging many Of our Democratic
friends to vote til" Republican
ticket this fall. They seem to fully
realize that a serious mistake has
been made in turning the govern
mcnt over to Democratic rule. and
that the theories and sophistrics
Of the party have been exploded.
While conscience pricks them sc
vcrcly, habit still has its hold upon
them and is not easily shaken loose.
The habit Of blindly voting the
Democratic ticket, rs they have
done in the past, may lead them to
commit the same error with their
eyes open. We trust, however.
that they will listen to that still,
small inner voice, which is calling
upon them to do their duty as il
dictates. The first plunge may seem
severe, but it will wash away tho
sins of the past, and once over with
it will never be regretted.

A Baltimore Invention.

A Baltimore machinist, Mr. }. r,
McKenny, (tormerIy of SequaChee,
Tenn J has recently completed a
sewing machine, which. it is claim
ed, will make as fine stitch as the
ole time Howe sewing machine,
while it is so simple in construct
ION that the parts can, it is said be
made and put together at 20 per
cent. less cost than any machine
now on the market,
One Of the points of superiority,
according to Mr.. McKenny, is in
the length of the shuttle movement
It is much less than the movement
in the machines in common use,
and at no time is the thread relax
ed enough to catch in the shuttle
or to become smtared with oil. 1t
is also stated that the plan Of the
shuttle construction is such that
there is less danger Of thread break
Ing than in the usual way,
The entire machine is notable
for its simplicity. The feed rocker
is OF sheet steel and plays upon a
sliding shoe similar to those in
general use, but by an ARA cement
of the inventor the feed bar IS en-
tirely eliminated, thus doing away
with considerable costly construct
ion. The up,and~down needle
movement is communicated by a
crankshaft which is another idea OF
the inv ntor. Another Pei It
which-wijl be appreciated by all
machine operators is the manner
in which the cord which connects
the power with the top wheel is
arrdl god. BY a series Of cog8 il
can 0e adjusted to the wheel at an,
y time, when loose, simply by pas,
!, sing the cord over one of the cOgf
and operating the pedals as in sew
ing.
Mr.. McKenny has had long ex
parience in manufacturing and re
pairing sewing machines, and ha
made a study OF the present plan
for a long time past. One of th
maohlnes is now completed and il
operation at 221 West Fayette St
