He Says lie Will Vote For Mckinley and
hobart.
Editor Morgantown Post
In reply TO several inquiries from Mo-
nongaha friends concerning my views
On the currency question, permit me to
state through your columns that the re-
port which has been going the rounds
of the press that | would vote for Nc
Kinley is entirely true; the statement
to the contrary i'll the last issue of The
New Dominion was unauthorized by
me and was given the paper by some
one who should have known at the
time that it was not true.
/ intend 10 not only vote for McKin-
ley and Hobart, but to use every intlu-
ence / can bring TO bear upon my sound
money Democratic friends to do like
wise. There are lots of these sound
money Democrats III Berkeley county.
There are lots of them all over the state
1t is duty they owe TO themselves and
to their country to repudiate the plat
form of party which lost its identity
in the whirlpool of Populism and Anar-
chism at Chicago. They are going TO
do it, too. EDGAR STEWART.

Level Headed Mr.. Burt.

In an interview in New York, George
A. Burt, vice president of the Ohio River
railroad, in speaking of the political sit
nation i'll West Virginia, said: There
is not as much free silver sentiment i'll
West Virginia as you people up North
are led to believe. The employees on our
railroads are members of clubs in which
the situation is discussed, but it does
not take much intelligence to appreciate
the fact that it is to workingman's in
terest to vote for the cause of honest
money. You can depend upon it that
every sound money man in Virginia,
whether a Democrat or Republican, will
vote for Mckinley and will use his best
endeavors to induce others to do like.

Property is the fruit Of labor. Prop
erty is desirable is positive good i'll
the world. That some should be rich
shows that others may become rich, and
hence is encouragement to industry and

Daniel webstor on Money and Wage Earn

The very man, Of all others, who
has the deepest interest in a sound cur

chievous legislation iii money matters

his daily toll. \ His property is in
his hands. His reliance, his fund, his
productive freehold, his all, is his la
Dor Whether he work on his own small
capital or another's, his living is still
earned by his industry, and when the
money of the country becomes depreci-
ated and debased, whether it be adul-
terated coin or paper without credit,
that industry is robbed of its reward.
He then labors for country whose
laws cheat him out of his bread
would say to every owner of every quar-
ter section of land i'll the west, would
say to every man III the east who fol-
lows his own pillow and to every me-
chanic, artisan and laborer Of every city
in the country-I would say to every
man. everywhere, who wishes by honest
means to gain an honest living, beware
of wolves in sleeps clothing. Whoever
attempts, under whatever popular cry,
to shake the stability of the public cur
