DIR. TALMAGE HOPEFUL.
With Silyer's Victory He Predicts Re-
viyal Of Business and a Boom of
Industry.

NEw York, Aug. S.-Rey. I. De
Witt Talmage, while nominally a
single gold standard man, yet does
not believe as do many others that
disaster will follow as result of
silver's adoption as the currency of
the country. He has recently made
IA tour of the country, and, being an
observing man and one who does not
speak without first carefully consid-
ering what he has to say, the follow
ing remarks, spoken at Easthamp-
ton, l.. l., naturally will have much
weight:
IF the silver people win, / believe
there will be such revival in bust
ness, such a booming in industries,
which are now inactive, and such a
general shaking up of commercial
interests that the country will be
sure to prosper.
During my entire trip he said,
II did not find more than one or two
men who were not silverites. The
unanimity was astounding. The
sentiment down south is universally
for the white metal. Bryan and Sew
all will get very large vote from
that section of the country.
DIR. Talmage is too little or too
much Of a politician to come out
fatfooted for free silver, but his ut
terances. are perhaps sufficiently
significant to show the tendencies
of his personal feelings.

the difference between the weight
ola gold dollar and its value He
wants dollar that is just as s'full''
as the bushel measure. That is
right, but how about dollar that is
great deal fuller" Does Major
Mckinley think that farmer would
find much comfort in selling his
grain by bushel measure that was
increasing in size 4 per cent, year
Is not the effect upon him the
same when the dollar so increasesf
"A dollar as true as the bushel
measure" is precisely what the silver
men are demanding and precisely
what the gold dollar is not Because
it is not, they are opposed to it and
demand its abrogation They do
not claim that the restoration of sill
yer will give us perfectly true, I'M
changing dollar That end can only
be reached by scientific regulation
Of the quantity Of money, if it can b
done at all. But they do believe
that gold and silver together will
give us a steadier measure of value
than gold alone. Consequently it
will more nearly meet the definition
of true measure of value.
II Major Mckinley and Mr. Bryan
ever come together in joint debate,
it will be perfectly beautiful to see
Bryan puncture McKinley's gorgeous
soap bubble rhetoric.

A SONG OF SILVER.
Rythmical argument for the white Met
al Money.

Tell us not in mournful numbers
life is but an ideal dream: for we SEE
that wealth controls us and are not
what we seem. Rights, that once our
statutes gave us, no longer can We
claim; for the shylocks buy conven.
tions and the candidates doth name
What are we that we should grum.
bic, DER the platform that he writes
tbs the task of common people, TIC
believe what he indites. Grunge, VIC
slaves, for Wall street shylocks have
the G. O. p. in hand: you mnst vote
for Bill Mckinley and for gold, alone
must stand.
All, but listen to the murmur OF
the thunder DER the plains, as the
people rise in anger, to protest against
such claims. Down With tvrant
gold, they're shouting, tout upon
those blatant knaves; we are free
men, and, by thunder, none can sell
us out as slaves. We're for silver
and for freedom, and our clans are
brave and true; we can beat that
Bill Mckinley and his Wall street
masters, too Silver! Silver" shouts
the chorus from the hilltops far away
while the millions in the valleys
sing its praises every day
Silver will increase our wages, il
will give us work each day; fol-
twill thwart the mighty shylock and
will take his power away. Rising
prices for over products, business fol
our idle men; all will come to bless
the nation, when silver's money once
again. Plenty will return to millions
and prosperity will reign in the
home of every workman when silver's
money once again. When the ides
of next November give to us 0 chance
to win, you can bet your bottom dol
lar silver will be money then.

Amusing Argum ents.

just now one of the anu sing ar
guments used by the gold bugs
against Mr.. Bryan is his youth. In
the meantime they forget that Thos.
Jefferson was only 33 years old when
he wrote the Declaration of Inde-
pendence; that Madison was only
40 when he and Alexander Hamilton
wrote and published the Federal
ist," which is said to be the greatest
treatise on political science that has
ever appeared in the world. That
John Marshall was only 30 when APP
pointed Attorney General by Wash
ington; that Patrick Henry was but
30 when he made the speech that
first made him famous; that James
Monroe was only 20 when he was
sent to congress; that Henry Clay
was only 30 when he was sent to the
United States Senate, and John
Randolph was only % when in 500
he was the leader in the House of
Representatives, and SO on adj inf.
nitum. 1t seems to me that this is
the poorest argument that can be
used by the gold bugs against the
Young and great Bryan, Of Nebraska

FRYING FAT.
Hanna Scares the Quakers BY Telling
Them That McKinley's Chances
Are In Danger

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. l7.--Mark A.
Hanna Is scared, and so are the men
who are back of the Republican ma
chine in the east. Chairman Hanna
came to Philadelphia to-day to confer
with Postmaster General Wanna
maker, Thomas Bolan and others
who were so successful in frying out
the fat in the Harrison campaign eight
years ago, when $500, 600 was raised
here among the manufacturers to save
the tariffand incidentally the machine.
The conference to-day was most
serious one, and Mr.. Hanna told the
Philadelphians that unless they put
their shoulder TO the wheel and helped
with all their might Mckinley would
surely be beaten. He opened the Phil
adelphians eyes when he told them the
fight would be in the Middle Western
States, and that Ohio, Indiana, Hi
inois, Michigan and Wisconsin were
In the doubtful column. The dear,
good, confiding quakers were shocked
at the story of Mr.. Hanna, and they
decided to act at once and begin The
most aggressive sort of warfare.
Ofcourse the fat-frying business will
begin at once because the sinews OF
war are needed and the Manufacturers
Club and the Union League Club
members will go down in their
pockets for not less than half mill
ion dollars. That Is the quota for
Philadelphia to raise. Provost Har-
rison, the wealthy Sugar Trust man
gave dinner to Chairman Hanna,
and among the guests We're William
M. Singerly, who heads the Democrat
ic Electoral ticket; Vice President
Thompson, Of the Pennsylvania Rail
road, and Joseph Snnott, the million
aire distiller who has also deserted the
Democracy. Hanna went away to-
night happy.

NUMBER IS.

pay it is likely to pay very largely.
Why do men engage in the mercan-
tile business, when 80 per cent OF
them fall in the course of series OF
years.
Every thoughtful mining man Of
experience knows that the overpro-
duction of gold or silver is not prob
able, and that, if the constantly in
creasing demands of the world are
met for a series of years, it will be
because new fields of mining are
found. On an average, every paving
mine must pay about 10 per cent per
month to reimburse its owners for
the capital, time, risk and interest
before it is exhausted. The great
Comstock mines are practically gut
ted of all high grade ore to-day. The
low grade ore, which contains about
two-thirds gold in value, will not pay
anything but small profit with sill
yer at $l.29 per ounce Certainly
there is no fear of overproduction.
The constantly increasing wants of
mankind will absorb all the gold and
silver that can be produced. 1t is
well understood by conservative min
ing engineers that the amount of
gold in sight in the Transvaal has
been grossly over-estimated, and
there are not above % mines in the
United States to-day that have posi-
tive assurance of any large reserves"

THE SIXTEENTH ANNUAL FAIR
Will be the Best Yet Given by the
Wheeling Association.

There can be no doubt whatever Of
the proposition that the Sixteenth
Annual Fair of the West Virgins
Fair Association, to be given al
Wheeling September It'll, Sth, 9th
10th and 18th, will eclipse any pre-
vious exposition undertaken by the
organization. Every effort has been
made to bring about distinct and
marked improvement in every de
partment and in all lines of especial
amusements and attractions and as
result the programme will present
some unique features, while the Fair
as whole will be mammoth in size
and replete with sustained interest
for the visitor. A thoroughly re-
vised and enlarged premium list will
also insure additional incentive foi
the exhibitor to complete with his
choicest products, and arrangements
have been made to accommodate a
larger number Of exhibits than ever
before.
The management has entered into
liberal arrangements with all the
railroads leading into the city, and
the people of West Virginia and the
counties of Eastern Ohio and West
ern Pennsylvania should turn out en-
masse and enjoy week of rest, rec
reation and instruction at this great
institution, the West Virginia State
Fair.

President is a M0n0polist.

According to the news columns OF
Mr.. Hobart's leading local Organ, the
'coal syndicate has started out on q
regular system of advances and We
are to have another 25-cent increase
in September, with another of the
same amount by January, making an
advance of 81 ton within six
months"
AS pool arbitrator for roads en-.
gagged in the coal syndicate Mr.. Ho-
bart has had full opportunities to
inform himself intimately concern
ing the operation of the regular
system through which these unnat
ural profits are extorted. When
he takes the field he will not be able
to find a topic in which the public
is more interested, nor will he find
any other way in which he can dc
his party greater service than by
convincing the public that his own
connection with trusts, pools and
monopolies has not rendered him un.
fit for the vice presidency.
And when he does take the stump
Mr.. Hobart ought to tell as soon as
possible to what extent he thinks
the antitrust law should be enforced
against all who violate it, more es
pecially against those who out of the
proceeds of the violation to contrib

"H0NEsr MONEY.
Gold has Doubled in Value While Sill
YER has Remained About the Same.

Leaving out of consideration all
questions of cause, the indisputable
fact is that since 1873 the gold dollar
has just about doubled its value. that
is, in purchasing power. Compared
with the gold dollar, of 1873. the gold
dollar of 1896 is worth nearly POO
cents. Men do not manufacture dol
lars for themselves; they produce 9TH
er things, and the things thus produc-
ed they exchange for dollars In
other words, they buy dollars with
commodities, and they now have to
give twice as many commodities in ex-
change for dollar as they did in 1873.
On the other hand, silver has main,
tanned practical stability of purchas-
| ing power, and an ounce of il will ex-
change for nearly the same quantity OF
commodities as it would in the year
last named. Briefly stated, gold has
doubled in value, while silver has re-
manned very nearly the same. And
yet the 'shonest" money people. claim
| ing to represent the financial intelli-
gence and integrity Of the age, stand
up in the broad light of day and in de-
fiance Of every principle of natural
justice, as well as of common sense,
yociferously claiming that the 200-ct.
dollar is the ''honest dollar, and that
the silver dollar is only worth 50
cents.
I How long will the American people
permit themselves to be fooled by such
rot? Ii the gold dollar had quad
rupled in value, or had increased ten
fold, the champions of that swollen,
distorted and extortionate dollar could
and would be making the same pre-
p0sterous claim.
We are perfectly familiar with the
oddities answer to this. With end
less reiteration he declares that no
harm is done, because if man must
sell for less, he can also buy for less,
and thus keep even. Can he? How
much has Mr.. Cleveland's salary been
reduced? Or Mr.. Carlisle's? Or
United States senator's? Or the sal

much less does it cost to run the
United Stairs government, saying
nothing about bond issues to main
tain gold reserve? How much have
taxes been reduced? How much have
the notes and bonds of the country
been discounted because OF the greater
value of the money in which they
must now be paid.

AcLoup BURST
Near Meundsville Washes Away r. 4.
o. Bridge,

The Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road
seems to be especially destined To
suffer from destructive floods this
year Trains were again tied up be-
tween Wheeling and Moundsville as
the result Of cloud burst near the
latter place, ON last Wednesday az
ternoon.
The cloudburst occurred about 4
o'clock. The center of the storm was
ON little Grave creek about six miles
from the Ohio River. During the
heavy floods of July the Iron bridge
across the creek near its mouth had
been carried away and had been re-
placed by temporary wooden struct-
ure. The rain poured so furiously
on Wednesday afternoon that the
water rushed down in waves four or
8 #. high and swept this bridge away
almost instantly.
A pile driver and wrecking crew
were sent for and communication
was again restored by six o'clock.
Not much damage was donealong
the creek valley as it had been thor
oughly swept by previous floods.
