The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1896-10-29

In the early stages Of the campaign,
the great source of alarm to the sound
money men was in the supposed de-
sire of the farmers of the country to
try the experiment of debased money
as a cure for their ills. The notion
that the substitution Of a cut-value
dollar for a full-value dollar might
benefit the farmers was not without
foundation. 1t would certainly raise
the price, in dollars of eXportable ag
ricultural products; the farmer would
get more of the cheap dollars for his
wheat than of the good ones. At the
same time, they would be just as good
as the full-valued dollars for the pay
ment of debts now outstanding, and
for a number of years would probably
90 just as far as a full-value dollars
in the payment of wages to farm
hands. SO that, on the face of it, the
farmer would make gain for the
time being
1t is remarkable how largely this
phase of the question has disappeared
from view as the campaign has pro
crossed 1t is not difficult to form
reasonable conjecture as to the cause
of this. In the first place, there is a
large proportion of the farming class
who have no desire to take advantage
of such a proceeding as the debase-
ment of the currency, even if it would
pr0ve profitable to them. Secondly
there has unqaestionably been among
the farmers a strong and salutary in
stinct which leads them to doubt
whether course opposed to sound
business principles could be Of profit
to any large class of the community.
They have felt that tanpering with
the national currency would carry
with it the danger of such vast demon
alizeti0n of business that all classes
Of The community would be bound to
suffer together, and it would hc only
a question which would suffer most.
Whatever the reason, at al events
it became plain pretty early in the
canvass that no very widespread de-
lection from The Republican party
would arise from the supposed leaning
of the farmers toward free silver.
The crushing defeats of the Democra-
tic party in Vermont and Maine and
the poor showing made by them in
Arkansas put the idea of a sweep"
of the farming class out of the ques-
ton. Then the attention of the cOun-
try was centered on how the wage
Garner would vote. 1t is true that
the Maine elections, and afterward the
Connecticut elections, pointed en-
phatically toward the conclusion that
the age-earners were not being
stamped by the cheap-money cry any
more than the farmers. Still,it must
be admitted that none of the fall cleo
tons have indicated the trend of
opinion among the workingmen Of
the great cities. Such signs as have
been furnished by polls in individual
establishments, and also such indica-
tons as may be gathered from regis
tration figures, however, point dis
tinctly to the Endorsement of sound
money by the wage-earners in the
great centres of industry.
In fact, the workingmen of the

REPUBLICANS FOR SILVER.

The managers of the silver party say
they are receiving hundreds of letters
showing that large numbers of silver Re-
publicans are joining their clubs with the
avowed intention of voting for Bryan.
These letters give very encouraging ac-
counts of the prospects in the localities
from which they are sent and are full Of
hope and confidence. One from William
Wilhelm, the silver Republican who is
engineering the tour of Senator Tillman,
of South Carolina, through the coal re-
gions of Pennsylvania, gives very salts
factory report of his progress Mr.. Will
helm says Senator Tillmans speeches are
listened to by immense crowds and that
he is converting the miners to silver coin
age right and left
Senator Stewart who has lust returned
to Washington from a stumping tour
through Connecticut, asserts emphati-
cally that, if the working men are not
coerced, the State will go for Bryan. He
says the working men in all parts of the
State are fully aroused and are enthusi-
astic in support of the Chicago nominee
He is about to begin a campaign in Mary
land and New York, and in the former
State the outlook for Bryan is constantly
improving. The Republican success in
that State and in Kentucky last fall does
not mean that they will go for IcKin-
ley in November. On the contrary, there
has been great reaction among the far
mers in both States, who are said to be
flocking to the silver standard in large
numbers.

payment of s., 900, 900 for the sugar
bounty, whose constitutionality was up
held by the supreme court, against the
ruling OF Comptroller Bowler. The falling
off in receipts has been entirely in Gus
toms, which paid s35, 500, 0S3 for the first !
ten weeks of 1896, and have paid only
500, $40, 113 for the corresponding weeks
of the fiscal year 1897. The internal rev.
enue receipts advanced from $40, 707, 211
last year to S30,S16,08S this year, and
they are not likely to fall back. The gen.
eral Treasury balance is now $61, 000, 900
more than year ago and stands at $685.
S54,715. This SOL 100000 is all that re-
mains of the Sill, 100000 realized from
the last bond sale. The difference has
gone to bridge the deficit of last year and
this and to cover the redemption of some
Pacific railroad bonds The month of
September showed surplus last year
and may do SO this year, but the receipts
for twelve days are .already nearly ST.
100000 less than year ago.
The Treasury is, however, better equip
ped to meet the demands for currency
than it was last year, and the :recent de-
velopments of this demand is helping to
protect the gold reserve. The operations
now going on for putting gold in the
Treasury may result in saving the
present administration from the dilemma
of another bond issue, as gold is coming
to this country from both Europe and
A11ct g ,o1; ~,
reserve will probably touch 1926, 000,O 600
before the present upward movement is
at an end. Such IN increase of the re-
serve would enable the Treasury to meet
considerable export demand in January
and February without carrying it below
the 100000, 900 mark. The reserve stood
S1O3,2S4,21S on February Is, 1898, just
before the present administration went
into office, and it is said to be the ambi-
tion of Secretary Carlisle to turn this re-
sereve over unimpaired to his successor;
but in view of the frequent bond sales
and heavy losses to the Government in
the way of commissions and discounts in
order to do this, it is hard to see upon
what foundation his qualification rests.
This flow of gold into the United States
Treasury, even if affected by artificial
means, shows that the credit of the
Government has not been in the least i'm
paired by the prospects of the election of
Bryan and Sewall and the early remonet-
ization of silver at the ratio of 16 to of
gold, land it is itself a complete REPUTATION
of the cry of the gold monometallists that
free silver means panic and reputation.

THE RESULT DISCOUNTED.

Vermont and Maine have gone Repub.
lican as everybody expected from the be-
ginning. The results there have long
since been discounted, and the friends of
Bryan and silver are not in the least dis
couraged by what they knew all along
would happen. Men who have travelled
through Ohio and studied the situation
carefully, predict that the State will go
for Bryan by from 20, 900 to 80, 600 major
ity, while for Illinois and Indiana sim
liar figures are predicted. Iowa is adj
mitted, even by the Republicans, to be in
doubt, while on the other hand the
friends of Mr. Bryan assert positively
that he will receive the electoral vote of
every State west of the Mississippi river.
AS the day for the election draws nearer
the prospect for the triumph of the free
coinage of silver is constantly growing
brighter. Alabama and Arkansas have
answered the Republican shouts in Maine
and Vermont, and every Southern State,
those on the border included, are counted
as standing solidly in the Bryan column.
With such an outlook before them, it is
not surprising that the supporters of free
silver are confident and aggressive Mr..
Bryan's triumphal tour from the West to
the East is adding a zeal and enthusiasm
to the campaign on his..side that promises
to elect him by as substantial an electoral
majority as Cleveland received in 1892

STILL REDUCING RATES

Washington, Sept 15.-The interstate
commerce commission has received no
notice of an advance of freight rates from
the Southern railroads on account of
Judge Speer's injunction, but, on the
contrary, notice of further reduction of
rates by the Southern railroad has been
filed. This reduction is.smade on cotton
from Atlanta and vicinity to Norfolk and
Portsmouth, and on tobacco and cigars
and cigarettes from Raleigh, Durham and
other North Carolina points to Norfolk
and Portsmouth. The Atlanta change on
cotton meets the Seaboard Air Line cut,
while the North Carolina reduction is
about cent below the Air Line rate.

have, floating high in the air,a Bryan and
Sewall flag, erected on Labor Day by the
club Already n number of political
speeches have been delivered here and
the white population of the town Is
largely Democratic. On Saturday even
ing commodious hall was filled to over
flowing to hear an address from our
townsman, William Lunsford Esq, and
eX-Mayor S. E. Jones, of Roanoke. Hon.
w. w. Berkeley, president of the club,
made few pertinent remarks, and intro
duce as the first speaker Mr.. Lunsford,
who arose amid applause and made his
first political speech. The delivery of his
address consumed about an hour and
half. He held the strict attention of his
audience while in burning and earnest
words he predicted the disastrous conse-
quences that are sure to come when I'M
principled millionaires rule the honest
toiling masses. AT the close of Mr.. Luns-
ford's speech Mr.. Jones addressed the
audience in his happiest vein. tbs need
less to say that his speech was eloquent,
forcible and logical. Vinton was glad to
have him come own and deliver his char
acteristic clean-cut Democratic doctrine,
The hall was graced with the presence of
many ladies'.
Yesterday afternoon Henry Hardy, col
ored, was perhaps fatally shot in the
abdomen by Robert Wade, also colored.
These men had been loafing all day about
the house of Sophia Deestrict. When
the shooting occurred the two men and a
colored woman were in a room by them
selves. Hardy says he was lying down
with the woman sitting near him when
he was shot, and testified that he and
Wade were on friendly terms. 1t ap-
pears, however that Wade may have shot
him because of jealousy. Wade went for
physician and then quickly fastened
away from town. Justice Gum issued
warrant for his arrest and Constable
War went out at once in search of him,
but he. had not been apprehended at dark
last night. The ball entered the abdomen
wall in the right tiltac region and passed
through the abdomen into the right
thigh.

DEFICITS IN THE REVENUE.

The bad financial showing so far in the
present fiscal year leads Treasury officials
to believe that no matter whether Bryan
or Mckinley is elected an extra session of
Congress next year will be necessary to
meet the deficit in the revenue. The Treas
ury showing has been very bad since the
first of July, the deficit since that time be.
ing nearly equal to- the whole of the pre-
ceding year. The receipts for the fiscal
year 1896, for the ten weeks ending Sep
TENDER 10, 1896, were 500, C35, 9G7, and the
expenditures were 1888, 154, 149. The re-
ceipts for the same period this year have
been $84, 653, 1862 and the expeditures have
been $sS,602,14 IA. The increase of ex-
,penditures have been chiefly due to the
