ATS A LIE!
81 Can Lick the Man Who Started the
Story"

HUNTINGTON, w. VA, Aug. &c.
Jacob Baker, Of Marion, who has just
passed his one hundred and fifth year,
and who is the Oldest man living in
the state, was reported a few days age
to have bolted the Democratic ticket
and come out for Mckinley.
Mr.. Baker comes out in a card to-
day as follows:
II cast my first vote for James
Monroe We were then living under
free coinage of both gold and silver,
and the credit Of our country was
good, and we had no debased coin, as
the Republicans now predict. and one
dollar was as good as another. There
were no very rich men and none were
very poor, and a tramp was unheard
of.
~ have seen the workings OF bimet-
allism and the single gold standard,
and i tell you the gold standard won't
do. 1t will continue to Cypress the
laboring man, one Of whom l have
been all my life, and / would not
think of DESERVING the Democratic
ship. am los years of age, and have
tried to make my peace with God and
my fellowmen, but / can lick the fell
low who started that lie on me-"

Swiss Girls Coming.

A Charleston dispatch states that
disguised housekeepers in that city
have made arrangements to secure a
consignment of servant girls from
Switzerland. This action is due to
the fact that 1T has become practical
ly impossible to secure good household
help in the Kanawha valley. The sit
uation in Charleston is not at all diff
ferent from that in other sections.
The domestic problem, by which we
mean the problem of securing domes-
tic help, is fast becoming the most
pressing one now before the American
people. its importance transcends
silver or the tariff. It touches the
home, the fountain of the peoples
happiness, and the failure to obtain a
satisfactory solution OF it is fast max
ing us a nation of boarders and board
ing house keepers. The popularity Of
the domestic help problem is that it
seems to set at defiance one of the
greatest laws of nature, the law of
supply and demand. As a matter Of
fact, demand for domestic help does
not seem to multiply the supply. On
the contrary the greater the demand
the more capricious and unsatisfac-
tory is the supply.

picking riddle presented by the mod
ern domestic, will engrave his name
on lasting stone in the tablets Of the

Now that Major Mckinley and his
lieutenants still insist upon raising
the shibboleth Of high tariff and state
that if he is elected his sole or at least
principal aim will be to attain their
ends in this respect, thus CONFUSING
business affairs still more, it will not
come amiss to show the people Of this
country, and gold democrats in par
ticular, the fallacy of assisting in the
election, directly or Indirectly, of a
candidate who would not hesitate to
sanction free coinage, if high pro-
tective tariff can be obtained in that
way, so welded is he to his idols.
Protectionism demands much and
gives little in return. 1t demands the
privilege Of taxing the many for the
benefit of the few. 1t always makes
certain promises only to forget them
when 1t has obtained its own point.

the Minneapolis nomination he ex-
pressed regret THAT all employers are
not just and considerate and that

share of the profits, to the detriment

creased. Instead of this, they were
actually reduced. Then the men
struck. Protection applied to the
courts for protection, and when the
men resorted to violence the law was
invoked and many arrested. Chief
Justice Paxton instructed the grand
jury to bring in indictments for trea-
son, and defined the law as follows;

Message from Arkansas.
The Democratic victory in Arkan-
sas is growing no smaller very fast.
When all the returns are in it will
be seen that the majority rises con
siderably above so per cent more
than he Al 900 by which the State
gave its electoral votes to Cleveland
and Stevenson in 1892. 1t will also
exceed by 80 per cent Or more the
plurality of 4s,724 by which Cover
nor Clarke was elected in 1894.
The political conditions existing in
Arkansas give to these figures a sig
nificance that will not be overlooked
by political managers in the head
quarters of either of the parties hay-
ing candidates in this campaign. For
at least six years the Democracy of
Arkansas has never wavered in its
loyalty to the principles formulated
into party doctrine at Chicago. Cliff
ton Breckenridge of Jefferson county
is the only Democrat Of prominece
in the State who has turned from
the advocacy of free silver coinage,
and he was promptly sent to the
rear in 1894
Colonel Dan w. Jones, the Cover
nor-elect, was radical and outspoken
on every stump in the State in pro-
claiming that, on the money ques-
ton, he would not accept any other
declaration at Chicago than one de
handing the independent free coin
age of silver by the United States.
1t was this stand that gave him the
nomination over rivals as able and
patriotic as he.
Some of the most substantial and
intelligent Republicans in the State
promptly bolted the gold platform
adopted by their party in St. Louis
and went into open rebellion against
Powell Clayton's machine One OF
them, Editor Matthews of the SUIT
CART Free Press, put the names OF
Bryan and Sewall at the head of his
columns while supporting the local
Republican nomicees on the silver
platform adopted by the Republicans
Of Arkansas county.
The few gold Democrats in the
State refused TO break with their
party, and the Populists who had
left the Democratic party came
iocking back by hundreds and
thousands.
The tide of free silver Democracy
swept everything before it. Returns
so far received indicate that even of
those who were expected to vote for
Remmel and for Files thousands of
Republicans and Populists scratch
ed their tickets and voted for Jones,
The lesson is an instructive one
for Kearby and "Cyclonen Davis,
Quincy, Grant and Green, who have
been trying to get together in a
mongrel fusion at Fort Worth.
The Arkansas figures make it
plain that, no matter what the par
ty machines may do, the Populists
the South are not going to throw
their votes away on candidates of
their own party this year, and that
they cannot be tolled nor driven into
the Republican camp.
They also prore that the Republi-
can revolt againt Mark Hanna's gold
standard is as strong and widespread
in the South as it has long been
known to be in the West and will
soon be shown to be In the East.
Arkansas sends word to the coun-
try that the South is solid for De-
mocracy, leaving to the North and
West the comparatively easy task of
making the November election
almost unanimous.-St Louis Re

The Peoples Candidate.

William Jennings Bryan, the Demo-
cratic nominee for President, has
grown in intellectual stature since his
nomination to as great height as
that ever attained by any American
chosen to lead the people. And the
people are growing with him. In some
mysterious and undefinable way he is
lifting the toiling masses to a higher
appreciation Of their own power and
Importance than they have since the
days when patriotism pronounced the
decree that the colonies should be free.
He has inspired the humblest with a
higher ideal of American manhood,
and has impaired to political discus
sion tone high above the confusion
OF partisanship.
He has made more than 100 speech
es since his nomination, ard in each
has manifested an intellectual vigor
and strength, versatility and an
earnestness that can be adequately de-
scribed only by the statement that the
man is inspired INSPIRED by the JUS
tice Of the peoples cause and by the
desire to bring measure OF lasting
relief to struggling humanity.
His address to the workingmen at
Chicago on Labor Day is as noble a
deliyerance as ever fell from the lips
of an American statesman and con-
firms beyond all question the impress
sion that in Bryan the common people
Of this country, without regard to
party, have found leader worthy Of
the cause and the crisis.
His letter Of acceptance has been
made public. 1t is comparatively
brief, and yet it covers every point
necessary to be covered. 1t is conceiv-
ed in the spirit that has marked all
his public utterances since his nomi-
nation. He gives TO the conception
and Interpretation Of Democracy as
broad meaning as Jefferson gave it,
and shows its native strength and
simplicity based on exact justice to all
men, the greatest good to all, the
Equality of all before the law, equal
opportunities for all, and the right OF
local self-povernment
The letter demonstrates anew the
fact that here is man of the people
Ia man who has the right to appeal
to all people to aid him in carrying to
a successful conclusion the great cause
which he has been selected to repre-
sent.
To us it seems simply impossible
that such cause with such a leader
should fail of success. There has not
been day since his nomination that
this great leader has not grown strong
er with the people. That is the tes-
timony of impartial observers in all
parts of the country. Except among
few men partisan politics has been
forgotten so far as the national con-
test is concerned, and in all parts of
the country Republicans, Populists
and Democrats have united TO sup
port the peoples candidate.

A Large Increase In Attendance Every

The public schools opened Mon
day with large increase in attend
ance. The number enrolled up to
noon the second day was 300 which
shows gain of rs over last year.
The teachers are the same as last
year with the exception of Miss Ella
Simpson who is the teacher of the
third primary grade. The opening
was attended by addresses from the
principal, Prof. Brand and by Revs.
Barnes and Wade. With the reten-
ton of the present efficient force
of instructors the citizens of Nor
gantown need have no fear that their
children will not have the very best
of instruction. The attendance bids
fair to go far beyond any previous
year and the already high standard
of work will be maintained.

The Mask on.

When W. j. Bryan at Chicago was
speaking in favor of the adoption of
the present party platform he, in ef-
feet, charged some of the gold advo-
Gates with insincerity in their profess
sions of friendship for bimetalism. In
speaking about waiting for an inter-
national agreement he said: sThey
have tried for thirty years to secure
an international agreement, and those
waiting for it most patiently are those
who do not want it at ALL This was
said with an irony and sarcasm in his
voice that cold type cannot express
At the time some of the sincere BIZ
metallists, who believe that it can be
secured only by an internationalagr
ment, were disposed to think the as
persion unfounded, hut subsequent
events have proved it's truth. The
indianapolis convention threw away
the mask, the platform stands for a
single gold standard only, and is far
more radical in that respect than the
Republican platform.
Bryan then was correct in his esti-
mate of the sincerity of such delegates
as Bragg, Villas and Flower. While
they had put forward Senator Hill as
their spokesman and he announced
himself bimetallist, and even willing
to accept the free coinage plank if
amended so as to make its tenure linn
tied to the period within which parity
could be maintained. Flower, Villas
and Bragg, as their subsequent action
at indianapolis has proved, were for
gold standard pure and simple.
The indianapolis convention pro-
poses no remedy for the distress that
exists in this country. Its delegates
were too far removed above the COM
mon people to know that distress ac-
tually is present throughout the land.
Rich bankers and brokers who thrive
best when business is worst have but
very little in common with the poor
classes. The customers with whom
they do business and out of whose
necessities they make their wealth
they know; when these become bank
rupt their acquaintance is cut forever.
A capitalistic pawnbroker has no use
for any man without collateral" he
does not even wish to number him
among his acquaintance. Therefore
the convention has not proposed any
relief, unless probably the retirement
of the greenbacks can be called by
that name.
But how can the greenbacks be re-
tired? BY redemption. Redemption
in what? Gold, of course. Ay, there's
the rub. That will mean more bond
issues, more percentage profits for ].
2. Morgan & Co., Ickelheimer s. Co.,
and the other leeches who fatten upon
the necessities of the government.
Good thing that redemption-fo the
Shylocks Of Wall Street.
As the Autumn days go by more
masks will be thrown off by these
boilers until at last they ought to
stand, on the st. Louis Republican
platform. The duty of Democrats is
becoming palmer. They must close
up ranks and march to the fray. The
Ind annapolis people are not our de-
luded or wiser brothers; they are our
enemies, though they still wear the
Democratic uniform.
