Democrats of Accomac be not de-
ceived by men who say that they
are true democrats and who tell you
in the same breath that they want
the republicans candidate for presi-
dent elected. There is but one demo
cratic candidate for president and
he was nominated at Chicago and
his name is William Jennings Bryan.
ANY other candidate is "decov
candidate" and thus aptly described
by the Richmond Dispatch
ut is a candidate who knows that
he is wearing the livery of the demo
cratic party to serve it's enemies in.
1t is a pretended democrat. 1t is a
candidate who seeks to toll demo.
Gratis into the republican camp. II
IS democrat, in one word, who has
deserted his colors, and is not salts
fed with having done so, but seeks
TO 'decoy' true democrats into a place
where they will inevitably lose theil
standing in the National Democratic
party. 1t is democrat who feels
and knows that he is acting part
which is totally unbecoming him OF
any other real democrat"
If you want a democrat, in other
words for your next president, you
will vote for Bryant you want a
republican for president you will
vote for Mckinley or Palmer the
nominee of the assistant republican
ticket.

The hoy orator." q term applied
to Bryan by republicans and their
boiling democratic allies in their eff
forts to belittle him, continues to
speak daily and to stir the hearts of
the people as no political speaker in
this country of late years has ever
done. He is attracting crowds to
listen to him such as no man ever
had before, and is received an cva-
ton everywhere he goes. The re-
publicaDs say, that idle curiosity
draws the people to him. but they
cannot explain the storm of enthu-
siasm with which he is receiving ev-
erywhere. They used to say, that
the strength of his speeches was in
his catchy phrases, but now common
honesty compels them to admit that
there is something new and striking
in every speech he makes. The
truth is, he is a man of preeminent
ability, believes in the justice of the
cause for which he is fighting, and
the people realizing the fight which
he is making for them believe in him
and are willing to trust him as their
next President, and so much so, that
we do not believe, that all the mil
lions which Wall street is contrib.
uting to buy their votes and debauch
them will avail anything.

Hon. H. F. Bartine, of Chicago
has made public a letter addressed
by him to Major Mckinley, in which
he reminds him that in the year 1878
as a member of the House of Repre-
sentatives, he voted for the famous
Bland bill, providing for the
unrestricted coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to and requests from him
public statement, as he now al
leges that the advocates of silver
coinage are deficient in personal in
tegrity, whether or not the Bland
bill was a dishonest measure. He has
not answered and such the incon.
sistency of the average gold bug,
whether democrat or republican. His
heart and head tells him as it did
Mckinley, that free coinage is right
until he is deceived into believing
that he has common cause with the
people of Wall street, because he
happens to possess a little of this
worlds goods, or wants them to help
him to an Office.

Hanna'S "MethOds'' to Capture the
Country

Mr.. R. C. Bell, a prominent citizen
of Lagrange, Indiana, received the
following letter from ). F. Forsythe,
of Wall Street, n. Y, which, as "a
good democrat, he Immediately made
public:
1.-The people West should be i'm
pressed with the fact that our people
here can take care of Themselves,
come what may. We are concerned
for only the classes that labor,
whether in the factory, on the rail
road, or on the farms. 1t is costing
us a great deal of time, besides
several millions of dollars to teach
these lessons, and they should realize
that we cannot constantly subscribe
millions of money at Presidential
elections for their cause, which out
lay by agitations is constantly in
creased. In talking with Mr.. Hanna
recently he said he would probably
need $25, 900 from our city before
the polls closed in November, caused
by such men as you and Mr.. Bryan,
but we think that if treble the
amount is really needed our generous
people will supply 1T to keep the
ignorant people from committing
political suicide. Every one at the
last meeting when Mr.. Hanna was
lIvro agreed To stand by nln.
"Our newspapers are loyal to the
people; they are terribly mad, how
ever. at Mr. Bryan for his speech at
Madison Square Garden, and we
should not be surprised if some of
them indulge in violent language
should Mr. Bryan speak here again. -
MIR. Hanna has seen some of the most
| influential owners of these papers
since, however, and we think they
| will still be lenient. Our efforts will
be toward kindness to our fellow
men. We invite you with all kind
ness and with we'll wishes personally,
trusting you may assist in quoting
your people.
1--WE are willing to aid you finan-
cially if necessary, and are perfectly
willing to trust you without fear
Mr.. Hanna in many cases does not
allow our Treasurer to pay at once;
he thinks guarantees are good until
the poll shows the actual result in
the town or precinct, but in your
case, if you will make known your
actual needs for the beginning of the
work providing you agree to change
your views in accordance with our
other followers in your State belong.
ing to the honest gold parity we will
endeavor to provide you with all
necessary funds. You need not an
swer this personally, as some of Mr..
Hanna's agents will visit your city
soon. and will surely call on you. 1t
is not our intention to have onyone
committed by letter. I assure that
our work is telling in the East. Most
of our manufacturers have converted
their employees, who are rapidly join

PusinrSs-Mc and Gold.

1t is easy to understand why men
with immense fortunes and fixed in
comes should be in favor of the gold
standard. They have plenty of
money, and the gold standard in7
nronses constantly tho value Of the
dollar while it reduces the value Of
everything that money will buy.
But why should any manufacturer,
merchant, or other businessman
whose welfare is dependent on the
general prosperity side with the plu'
tocracy?
When money is hard to get prices
come down, purchasers grow scarce,
and at the same time interest rises.
AS Mr.. Bryan points out, the bust
ness man makes his money not from
the men from whom he borrows, but
from the men to whom he sells his
goods.
The shopkeepers of New York, for
example, would be UNNECESSARILY
more benefited by a rise of 10 per
cent. in the wages of the working
men of the city than by the doubling
of the pile of every millionaire in the
United States. A money system that
locks up capital hits the shopkeeper,
because it hits his customers. The
gold standard gives US money that it
is easy to corner, and which it does
not pay to borrow for business pur-
poses, because it is steadily appre-
ciating in value. The man who bor-
rows that kind of money to turn it
over gets turned over himself, for,
being under the necessity of paying
back dollars worth more than those
that were lent him, his profits disap-
pear in the transaction. Though he
may not know what strikes him, he
is sand-bagged by the gold standard.
The shopkeepers, the manufactur-
ers, the great mass of businessmen
who are not loaded down with wealth
like the Carnegies, Huntingtons, and
Morgans and others of the class who
are so anxious for the election of
Mckinley as to be willing-to pay
handsomely for the blessing, are all
in the same boat with the men who
work for wages, either with their
hands or heads.
Free coinage by great and opu-
lent country, such as the United
states is, WOu1u DTlnS SOlu uOWu stuu
send silver up, equalize their value,
and give US a currency that would
adjust itself automatically to the ex-
banding needs of expanding business.
1t would raise prices, profits, and
wages, and we should have a kind of
money that, besides being really
honest, because stable in it's measur-
ing power, could not be cornered by
the patriotic gentlemen whose hearts
are wrung lest the national credit, "
and their gains, may be impaired.
Rising markets, employed labor,
and security against the schemes of
money cornerers are desired by every
business man who is able to think,
but these we cannot have under the
gold standard.-New York Journal.

The Cape Charles Headlight, a

OF the boiling democrats, says that a
rumor is afloat that Mr.. Thomas NJ
Scott came near being mobbed at
Cashville last week for making a
sound money speech there. Now,
there is not one word of truth in
this rumor. 1t is a gross and in
excusable SANDER on the good peo-
pie of Cashville and its vicinity
They are law-abiding, high minded

FARMERS AND NoN-PRoDUCERs.
LET me call your attention to an
other thing which Prince Bismarck
said.- Our opponents tell us that we
are arraying one class against an
other. Let me show you what Prince
Bismarck has said in regard to classes
on questions which concern agricul-
tural depression. A little more than
q year ago he was quoted as saying
to a farmer audience in Germany
that the farmers must stand together,
and must protect themselves from
the drones of society, which produce
nothing but laws. Great applause
Remember the significance of those
words-that the farmers should stand
together and protect themselves from
the drones of society, who produce
nothing but laws. Great applause
my friends, divide society into
TWO classes. On the one side, put the
non producers, and on the other side
put the producers of wealth; and you
will find that in this country the
majority of the laws are made by the
lnon-producers, instead of the pro-
ducers of wealth; and just as long as
the non-producers make the laws,
Just so long it will be more profitable
to the non-producer of wealth.
Bismarck tried to arouse the farmers
of Germany to throw out these
drones and take charge of legislation
themselves. l suppose they will call
Bismarck an agitator. daughter and
aaplause.) suppose they will say
that he ought not to array one class
of society against another. Of course,
| do not know how drones feel in a
beehive, but if drones could talk
and make speeches will bet that you
could not tell one of their speeches
from the speeches made by the heads
of those great trusts, who call every
body Anarchists who do not believe
with them. (Applause.) | will venture
that if drone could talk and write
and EXPRESS his ideas in language,
there is not member of syndicate
that has been beating this govern
ment but who could take the drone's
speech and use it as his own, without
being accused of plagiarism. (Great
applause.)
my friends, that is the only class
issue that we raise, and if to say the
people who fight the nations battles
in time of war have a right to do the
legislating in time of peace is raising
class against class. then l am willing
to be callen an agitator, my friends.
Great applause and cheers.)

Bismarck a Blmetallist.

DALLAS, TEX. September 19.-1n {
speech to night Governor Culbersor
read the following significant cores
pondence between himself and Prince
Bismarck on the money question:
Prince Bismarck:
"Sir-The great question of finance
is now of supreme interest to the PEG
pie of the United States. It is pre-
sented in various forms, out in gen
eral way it may be said to be, first
whether the United States shall
adopt the single gold standard, OF
second, whether they shall adopt hi
metallism with both gold and silver
as the standard or primary money
The argument in favor of each is
we'll known to you, but it is particu
larly insisted that we should adopt
the policy of bimetallism because
the supply. of gold in the world fo'
coinage is insufficient to meet the de-
mand, and because such standard
will still further depress the values
of all property.
(which, in your judgment, is the
best policy to adopt, the gold stand
ard or bimetallism, giving your rea-
sons?
"What effect in your judgment,
will the immediate adoption of BIZ
metallism by the United States have
on the cause of bimetallism in Ger
many and other great commercial
nations? G.. a. CULBERsoN,
Governor of Texas"
In reply Prince Bismarck said:
"FRIEDRIcHsRUHE, Aug. "a, '96.
"Honored Sir-Your esteemed favor
has been duly received. hold that
this is the very hour that would be
advisable to bring about between the
nations chiefly engaged in the world S
commerce a mutual agreement in
favor of the establishment of bimetal
lism. The United States are freer,
by far, in their movements than any
nation of Europe, and, hence, if the
people of the United States should
find it compatible with their interests
to take Independent action in the
direction of bimetallism, cannot but
believe that such action would exert
a most salutary influence upon the
consummation of international agree
ment. BISMARCK"
