THE responsibility of re-establsh-
ing silver in its ancient and honora-
BILE place as money in Europe and
America devolves really upon the
Congress of the United States. If
we act here with wisdom and firm
ness, we shall not only successfully
remonetize silver, and bring it into
general use as money in our own
country, but the influence Of our ex-
ample will he potential among
European nations, with the possible
exception of England. Indeed, our
annual Indictment to Europe is so
great that, if we have the right to
pay it in silver, we necessarily coerce
those nations, by the strongest of all
forces, self-interest, to aid us in up.
holding the value ofsilver as money.
The exclusively gold nation like
England may show the most massive
fortunes in the ruling classes, but it
shows also the most helpless and
hopeless poverty in the humber
walks Of life. The gold and silver
nation like France can exhibit no
such individual fortunes as abound
in gold nation like England but il
has peasantry whose silver savings
can pay war indemnity that would
have beggared the gold bankers OF
London, and to which the peasantry
Of England could not have contribu-
ted pound sterling in gold or even
a shilling in silver.-Jas. q. Blaine,
1878.

Col. Davis for Rryan.

Recently Col. J. w. Davis, of this
county, who has been a consistent
Republican since about 1876, re.
ceived polite invitation from the
Bryan Club at Ronceverte to deliver
an address before it on the great is.
sue of free silver coinage now pend.
ing before the American people,
The following is Col. DAVIS reply to
the invitation:
"CoFFMAN, w. VA, !

Messrs. II. O. Murray, A. +. Denninp
and M. M. Nc Grath:
DEAR SIRs-I thank you for your
invitation to address your Club. Un.
less shall see that duty requires me
to participate in the public discus.
sion of the silver question, / will be
quiet. 1t would have given me
pleasure to have supported and voted
for Major Mckinley. He ia a man
of quick perception, good judgment
and unspotted character-and is at
heart as much a free silver man as
any of US. But he has not ,Dil
enough. He has let Wall Street put
a paddock on his mouth. Bryan is
as quick-witted, as ready to come to
proper conclusion and of as pure q
character as Mckinley. Bryan has
as firm will as 'Old Hickory Jack
son had. The money question being
the only issue this year, ] will vote
for Bryan. Very respectfully,
