that free trade meant 81 IS a bushel for

DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES.
Adopted by West Virginia Republic
cans at parkersburg.

We earnestly, heartily and without
any reservation endorse the able and
patriotic platform adopted by the
National Republican Convention at
St Louis, emphasizing especially its
utterances in favor of protection. reci-
procity and sound money. We are
more than satisfied with the candi-
dates and pledge to Mckinley and
Hobart our untiring and earnest sup
port until they shall be triumphantlv
elected.
We condemn the populistic, anar-
chistic, democratic platform adopted
at Chicago for its vicious attack ON
the supreme and other federal courts
upon the enforcement of law The
Republican party is unalterablv in
favor of righteous laws, wisely en-
forced.
We condemn the Chicago plan Of
campaign for its imputation upon the
honesty aad patriotism of the Ameri-
can people. We are confident that
the great heart of the American peo-
pie beats responsively to the princi-
pies of truth and righteousness. We
condemn them for their anarchists
attempt to array class against class.
The interest of one is the concern Of
all.
We commend the last Legislature
for industry, intelligence and econ
omy. We point with pride to the
fact that it accomplished all needed
legislation within the constitutional
period of forty-five days and saved
the people many thousands of dollars
as compared with the last Democratic
legislaturel
We most heartily approve the ac-
ton of the last legislature in declin-
ing Internationally the offer to make
settlement of the state debt of Vir-
GINA existing prior to the first day of
January, 1861, upon basis fixed by
Virginia, basis SO clearly unfair and
unjust, as to make it manifest that
no settlement was desired. We are
firmly of the opinion that the State of
West Virginia has long since done all
that should be required of it toward
making settlement. Virginia re-
fused to meet our commissioners ap-
pointed for that purpose and has ar
bitrarily set apart one third of that
debt to be paid by West Virginia and
issued certificates for their payment.
These certificates are misleading and
do great injustice to West Virginia.
We do not believe that West Virginia
owes one cent of that debt, and are
opposed to any further negotiations
on the subject.
We are in favor of perfect equality
before the law in the matter of tax
alton. We declare the present sys-
tenn of forcing the agricultural classes
to pay taxes on their debts to be man.
ifestly unfair and unjust. We de-
mand that our present assessment
law be so changed as to allow farm
ers the same privileges which are &C.
corded to other citizens of our State
We cannot too strongly endorse and
commend the able, patriotic and
statvSinanlike conduct of our beloved
senator and congressman in the per-
torrance Of their duties in our nation
faf legislature
We cordially invite all persons WHO
believe in the principles and policies
set forth in the foregoing resolutions
to unite with us in electing the nom
inees of this convention and the ma
tional Republican ticket.
The resolutions were passed with
tremendous cheers.

Traducing the Dead.

The Wetzel Democrat says: Ey-
ery principle OF the Democratic plat
form is in line with the views OF
Alexander Hamilton. the greatest
Secretary of the Treasury the United
States ever had. This is the unkind-
est thrust at Hamilton since he was
assassinated by a Denocrat-Aaron
Burr.
The Democratic platform is des-
tructive in all its parts. It would
debase our currency and destroy our
credit; it would produce anarchy and
communism by wrecking the ju-
dietary; it would irnperil the Con-
stitution by its advocacy of sectional
ism. There is nothing unsafe in pol
itics that it does not advocate and
nothing stable in our system OF gov
eminent that it would not eliminate.
Hamilton was constructive not des-
tructive. He is said to have sfnote
the rock of finance and stream of
revenue gushed forth. Guizot, the
great French historian said: Ham
ilton must be classed mong the men
who have best known the vital prin-
ciples and Fundamental conditions OF
government there is not
in the Constitution of the United
States an element of order, of force,
or duration, which he has not power
fully contributed to introduce into it
and to give it a predominance. " In
word, his integrity and honesty
were unimpeachable.
The Democrat must bolster up its
cause and its candidate on something
more tangible 1t must not traduce
so eminent statesman as Alexander
Hamilton.

Peculiar Free Coinage Logic.

The last half OF Mr. Blaine's speech
IN advocacy Of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver is powerful one.
1t shows what he thought the duty of
the Republican party. He devoted
considerable attention to the now re-
tired and almost forgotten trade dol
lar, which contained more silver tina IN
the standard dollar OF our fathers, "
and he proposed to put more silver
in the standard dollar and coin it freely.
But since Blaine offered that bill
the drop of silver and the jump of
gold has left far out of sight the idea
of dollar with a dollars worth of
silver bullion in it. We have had
practical demonstration of the futility
of trying to keep the weight of coin
anywhere near the value of the metal,
and the natural conclusion is that
the ratio of the coinage may be fixed,
and the bullion bought at the mar
ket price and coined without charge
and without limit, ss Blaine so elo-
quently urged. 1t is enough if the
government undertakes to keep every
dollar equal to every other dollar
Hagerstown Mail.
The above extract from an editorial
in the Mail is sample of the argu-
ments adduced by Democrats to prove
that James G. Blaine favored the tree
and unlimited coinage of silver. The
last two lines of the first paragraph
quoted-"he proposed to put more
silver in the standard dollar and coin
it freely"-disproves the first propo-
sition in the same paragraph that he
favored the free aud unlimited coin
age of silver"
The inevitable conclusion from the
Mails statement is that Mr.. Blaine
favored the honest dollar. That che
devoted considerable attention 10 the
trade dolIar which con.
tame soressitVef. thanth Stsudard
dqIias IS sdaisS nsf proof thai he
was opposed toaafd srfetes adyooated
the coinage of a dollar that did not
contain 100 cents worth of silver.
After arguing on false premises, in
the second paragraph quoted, in IA
vor of debased or fiat dollar, the
Mail again stultifes itself.in the last
sentence of the paragraph when il
truthfully suggests that cit is
enough if the government under
takes to keep every dollar equal to
every other dollar.
That is exactly what Republicans
propose to do. And it is exactly
what the Mail by its support of Bry-
an and Sewall does not propose to do.
Republicans are pledged to the larg.
est possible use of silver, but every
dollar, be it silver, paper or gold,
must be exchangeable each for the
other. That, however is not what
the Mail appears to want.

The individual who is in debt and
who advocates and votes for the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio of 10 to 1, serves notice on his
creditor to compel payment, as his act
IS equivalent to declaration that he
intends to pay the debt at so cents on
the dollar.
