NO REASON
In the Gold Arguments, According
to a Kentucky Judge.

Louisville, Ky, Sept. 4ib.-It is 3
significant fact, while 1t has been
claimed by the Democratic gold men
that there is not Republican of
prominence In the State who is not
believer in the gold standard, '',ai
Judge Guffy, Republican rcinrcr
of the Kentucky Court OF Appeal, is
one of the staunch believers in free
silver.
81 have studied the question my
self" he said, "but for the life of me
I can see no reason in the arguments
Of the gold men. You might as well
tell man who has not bread enough
to eat that the proper remedy is to
raise less wheat, as to tell man who
cannot get money with which to carry
OH business, that the best thing to do
is to vote for less. You might as well
tell a man who is freezing TO death
that he must put out the fire to save
himself"
off $600,000,000 is enough to carry
on the business of this great country
the gold standard is all right. They
say that this can be increased, but it is
just like a mountain stream, there
may be smaller streams running into
il a. the time, but still you cannot
get enough water to float a tour-toot
saw log"
1t may be further stated as showing
the strength of the silver sentiment in
Kentucky that of the seven Judges of
the Court of Appeals all but one are
for silver, so it is said. The one gold
man is Judge LandeS, of Christian
county, Republican, who was az
pointed by Governor Bradley to fill
out the unexpired term occasioned by
the death Of Judge Grace. While
Judge George Du Relic, of Louisville,
who is another Republican Judge of
the Court Of Appeals, may not public
ally proclaim his views, he is known
. to be very strongly in favor of bimet-
alism.

Narrow Escape.

RUDE Cole, who lives at Cornwall,
was out squirrel hunting last Satur-
day and while going through some
thick underground his gun was acct
IDENTIFY discharged and he narrowly
escaped death. One of his fingers
was badly shot, and few of the shot
took effect in his shoulder and breast,
His clothing in range of the discharge
was literally torn off. The charge
of shot was number 6, and had it been
larger death would certainly have
been the result.

A murderous plot has been discov-
cred by which the escape Of Walling
and Jackson, the murderers of Pearl
Bryan, was contemplated. A colored
man was also in the plot. If need be
they were to kill the turnkey at 6
o'clock a. m. A pistol and six fine
steel saws were found in their posses
sion. We hope the next sensation
will be the announcement that Wall
ing and Jackson have been hanged by
the neck till dead. Such crimes de-
serve and should receive prompt and
severe treatment by civil authority.
When this is done people will have
more respect for constituted author
ity, and trial by jury will not be re-
garded as farce.

Editors Won't Scrap

Judge French Upton of the Climax
is giving editor Adams Of the Panta
graph some straight goods and some
people think there may be a sure
enough scrap. Editor Upton would
just as soon have one as not but II is
so Hard to find two editors in this
notion at the sama time that we do
not fear any serious results. Adams
is talking of bringing libel suit
against the Climax.

On last Saturday night about one
mile from the city on the Jefferson
vile pike, some unknown, reckless,
disrespectful scape-goats Owe can't

pistols off in promiscuous manner.
They came near ending the life of two
young gentlemen who were on their
way to the city in buggy, several
shots striking the road under their
buggy and some going over their
horses back. Some of the bullets
struck the house of Mr.. John TIncher

OPENED
ARE THE EYES OF FARMERS.
They Realize That High Tariff
Does Not Raise the Price
of Wool.

Major McKinley's pet theme; the
tariff, received black eve from an
unexpected source yesterday. AT the
thirty-third annual meeting of the
Ohio Wool Growers Association, held
on the State Fair Ground, Hon. j. G..
Stevens, of Kenton, advocated the
principles of free silver, and spoke ia
vorably TO free trade in a mastery
address, which was loudly cheered.
Mr.. Stevens is farmer and an ex-
banker. For ii years he was Nation
al President of the Wool Growers
Association of the United States. Be-
side this he is an ex-member of the
State board of Agriculture, 'and is
probably the best posted man in the
State on questions of interest to the
wool grower and agriculturalist.
He said, among other things, that
all his lite he had been an advocate of
a high protective tariff on wool. He
had advocated this not because he
thought the principle was fundamen-
tally right, but because he thought the
wool grower was entitled to as much
consideration as the manufacturer.
But he had been forced to the conclu-
sion that the wool growers of the
country had been the victims of a
great fraud in the shape of

country hau Deen the Vlc'lils Oh
great fraud in the shape of
PROTECTIVE LEGISLATION.
They had been led to believe that
they were to receive equal protection
with the manufacturer, but the latter
always got the best of it. How was
1t 40 years ago, when there was little
or no pretense of protecting the wool
grower, and, in fact, high tariff such
as is now advocted in certain direc-
tiers was not dreamed of? The speak
er always received from 40 to %
cents pound for his wool in those
free trade" times. But how had it
been under protection during the per-
iod between 1873 and 1894, when the
wool tariff had been the highest on
record?
There had been gradual decrease
in the price of wool until the climax
was reached under the Mckinley law,
when wool dropped to its present
price. There was an object lesson in
this. 1t must mean that the tariff had
but little, if anything, to do with gov
erning the price of wool. The cause
of the decline and the means Of restor-
ing prosperity to the wool grower
must be looked for elsewhere.
There was another great issue, the
only one now before the American
people, which promised the farmer
relief. That issue was the restoration
of silver to the position it occupied
when the farmer and everyone else in
this country enjoyed prosperity.
A QUESTION ANSWERED.
There was some applause at this
juncture, and the Republican politi-
clans, including ex-Congressman Tay-
lor. of Guernsy, and Senator Hogg,
looked scared.
"How are you going to vote for free
silver without voting for free wool ?"
one of them asked.
"How are you going to vote for a
wool tariff without voting for the gold
standard p was the answer. He said
that when even John Sherman admits
that the price of farm products will 60
up under the free and unlimited coin
age of silver and gold it is about time
the farmers are getting their eyes open.
Mr.. Stevens spoke few minutes.
longer on the money question, espous-
ing the cause of free silver, and con-
cluded by recommending that other
questions than that of the tariff be dis
cussed by members of the association.
The President adroitly headed of
this suggestion by saying he favored
1t, but not at this session.

Around and Around the
Political Wheel
Goes, and Where it will Stop, No
body Knows.

WashingtonlAas 1oSh, 1896. II
only one political party was starting
iuto the Presidential campaign by
finding fault with the men who have
been selected to manage that party's
interests, it would be easy to agree
in saying that the part was thereby
je ,pardizing it's chance for success.
But with more or less considerable
number of men in each of the parties
finding fault with the party man
ayers, ss is now the case, it IS more
difficult to form any idea of what re-
suit, if any, the fault-fnllng will have
upon the election. Senator Jones,
Chairman of the democratic National
committee, Mr. Mark H anna, Chair
man Of the Republican committee,
and Senator Butler. Chairman of the
Populist committee are each under "a
hot fire from members of their own
party: Senator Jones is SD lrrl v
criticised for what has been done by
Mr.. St. Johh, the Treasurer of the
Democratic Committee at the elabor-
and expensive headquarters he has
established III New York, for the
populi,t interview which he has re-
pudiated, and for general dllatoriness
in getting down to work, Mr. Hanna
is found fault with because of his
autocratic methods. and Senator
Butler because he has not made his
appearance at Popullst headquarters
in Washington since he was made
Chairman of the committee. From
this it will be seen that to far as
fault tiuding is concerned it3is about
a stahd off all around. 50 far as
smoothly working machinery IS con-
concerned, the republicans, both in
heir congressional aud National
committees,a are far IN the lead. They
daily send out from Washington, ten
