UsURERs AND THEIR WAYS.

We can we'll understand how men who
have anything to sell want it to become
scarce, so.that they can get "a good price
for it; but how they can induce the peo-
pie who want to buy to help them in this
work is beyond all reason. 1t should be
perfectly plain to everybody that men..who
make business of lending money have
an interest wholly distinct from all other
business men. The lender is the borrow
ers' natural enemy. He wants to over
reach him and make a hard bargain with
him. He employs lawyers to frame the
Language of notes He demands the
largest rate of interest that he can get.
He has all sorts of provisions as to for.
feiting the security. If the principal or
any OF the interest remains due single
day he looks with longing eyes upon the
property mortgaged to him, and thinks
that possibly it may become his. All this
is perfectly natural 1t is his side of the
bargain. If the lender can influence his
government to alter the money laws so as
to make money still scarcer, that makes
property cheaper and he labors to that
end and always with success AS worms
eat into wood, so these money lenders eat
into the laws of the country The man
who borrows knows not how much the
debt may be increased by law before he

as to make him pay more dollars, but
they can change it so that every dollar of
it will buy more property than it would
when he borrowed it. The worlds usur.
ers have doubled every mans debts dur
ing the past twenty-fi five years, and at
each successive stage of their proceedings
they declared that the new and increased
value of the dollar made it honest
money. When they add to the value of
the dollar one year it becomes an honest
dollar, and the dollar of the year before
becomes dishonest. When Bucket, the
detective, wanted to control the impressi-
bic Mr.. Guppy, he always commenced by
saying: You are man of business,
you are. You are man of the world.
You understand yourself. Now, what is
running through your mind is so and

large portion of the people have been in
f1uenced by the cant phrases of the money
lenders. For the sake of having Shylock
speak well of them and call them the adj
vocates of "sound money" they have al
lowed him to choose his rulers and make
their laws on the subject of money. They
have had no more THOUGHT of Directing to
it than sheep have thoughts of .objecting
to being sheared. No wonder the money
power is startled at the present uprising
of the people. The business men who
are not money lenders are just as much
oppressed by the latter as are the farmers
or any other class of people, but many of
them continue in the bondage and con-
tribute to the power of their oppressors

SEEKING INFORMATION.

1t is evident that this is a campaign of
education, and as the people become en-
lightened on the financial question, they
see plainly that free coinage is what the
country needs to restore the long delayed
prosperity. People everywhere are ask
ing for light, and fortunately for them the
means are not lacking to enlighten them.
A Washington dispatch to the Baltimore
Sun says Mr.. Lawrence Gardner, secre-
tary of the Democratic Congressional cam
paign committee, says that he has never
known in all his experience of campaign
work so many applications for documents
from individuals
Usually" said Mr.. Gardner, "the ap-
plieations for political literature come
from the State and district committees,
and the distribution is made by these or
CARNATIONS. In the present instance,
however, individuals in all parts of the
country, but especially in New York,
Maryland, Pennsylvania and the Eastern
States, are demanding documents upon
their own account in a manner that shows
the voters are trying conscientiously to
gain an understanding of the money ques-
tion.'
II believe everything is encouraging
for Democratic success" continued Mr.
Gardner GA great many of the'letters
1 am receiving are from Republicans, and
they generally declare that they propose
to vote the Democratic ticket this year
provided they can convince themselves by
a careful study of the question that a
change in the monetary system will be of
general benefit Some Democrats write
that they do not like the Chicago plat
form, but they prefer it to that of the Re-
publicans.

clares himself in favor of sound money,
but announces that he will support the
Chicago nominee. l believe that the
ticket is gaining in strength and will win
in November. :"

The assignment of p. L. Terry, pub
lished elsewhere in The Times, will be read
with regret by everybody. Mr.. Terry has
contributed largely of his time and means
to the upbuilding of Roanoke, in which
all of his best interests were conferred.
With his characteristic integrity he now
makes clear surrender of all his assets
for. the benefit of his creditors, which as
sets as the figures show are largely in ex-
cess of his liabilities, and it is..earnestly
hoped in the final settlement of his affairs
that he will still have handsome COM
potency left. He has the deep sympathy
OF the entire community an it is the sim
cere wish of all that he may soon recover
from his present embarrassments and be
once more in the way of success and pros

Populist leaders are open in support of
the nominees; but the latter party is un-
willing to imperil it's organization by an
apparent surrender of any of tits princi-
pies, and this may result in lengthy
discussion before any agreement is

cratic national committee, is willing to

Much interest is felt all over the coun-
try in the action of the Populist and sill
yer national conventions, which meet at
st Louis to day. Every dictate of policy
and every desire for parry welfare would
seem to call for the nomination or en-
dorsement of Bryan and Sewall by both
OF these conventions; but so many con-
ficting interests are at work to influence
their action, that it is difficult to conjec-
ture as to the course they will pursue.

The position of Senator Butler on anes-
ton of supporting Bryan and Sewall in
the Populist national convention is still
involved in doubt. AT one time it is re-
ported positively that he will favor the
endorsement of these candidates and at
another it is stated that he is for an in
dependent Populist ticket. AS Senator
Butler owes his election to a fusion of the
Republicans and Populists in North Car

do not desire a fusion of Democrats and
Populists on a national ticket, it is easy
to see what influences are at work upon

THE ONLY SURE RELIEF.

In view of the heavy drain upon the
Treasury gold reserve another bond issue
at an early date has seemed imminent for
several days. The bankers of New York
will, however, it is said, come to the re-
lief of the Government, and supply gold
to the Treasury Department from their
vaults in exchange for legal tenders, to
the amount of $20,OO0,OOO, which it APP
pears they are we'll able to do, as, accord
ing to the estimate of Mint Director
Preston, on the first of this month, there
was in the United States $53S, 900, 600 in
gold, of which by the last report, the ma
tional banks had $17S, 900, 600. another
New York banks alone $40, 900, 900, which
total has since been Increased to nearly
500, 600, 900. All of this is very encour-
aging as far as it goes, but the relief to
the Treasury will be only temporary, and
then under existing conditions and the
issue of bonds by the administration will
be necessary. In view of all of these facts
and the utter hopelessness of any i'm
provement until the financial policy of the
Government shall have been radically
changed, it is not surprising that the peo-
pie of the United States, who, after ali,
are the real rulers of the country and the
best judges of it's needs and means of re-
lief-should be rallying with alacrity to
the support of the platform adopted by
the Democratic national convention and

The action of the Chicago convention has
given new hope to the agricultural and
laboring classes of the country, and every
day adds to their faith in the advent of
better times with the success of the ticket
nominated at Chicago. The farmer sees
prospect of better prices for his products,
/ which would mean more employment and
better wages for the working men The
people have awakened to the fact that the
financial legislationof the past has been for
the benefit of the few instead of the many;
that while it has doubled their debts it
has reduced their ability to pay them at
least one-half, and they are determined
by their votes to bring about change.
