The SUMS Fling at Silver Democrats

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
The New York Sun Of August 9th re-
proaches Mr.. Frank s. Black. the Re
publican nominee for Governor OF New
York. for his sarcastic fling at the
patriotic Democrats who propose 10 vote
for tho Mckinley electors IN saying
that If they labor for the success or the
Republican party now, IL is because they
fear the success OF their own; not be-
cause they have become better, but be-
cause they have become alarmed"
Mr. Blacks innuendo may be true or 1t
may not be true but there can be no
question as TO the falsity OF a state
ment made by the sun IN the very next
column Of the same paper. says the
sun OF the enemies OF the gold standard.
They are the lazy, the incompetent tne
shlfLess, the dissipated. and the bank
rupt' who. having nothing Of their own,
would rob Of their savings the industIiou US
and the thrifty"
This statement should be put alongside
OF Mr. Cockran's "unreconciled s.ayehoid-
ers" libel though IL is worse than that
1t is simply outrageous. I am, and have
been, for gold myself, but whether
shall remain SO may depend somewhat
Oh how much more or this species OF
SANDER shall be put into circulation. l,
and every man who reads this know
ardent silver men-relatives, friends, ac-
uuaintances, and others-who are as
honest and as good in every way as
the editor Of the sun, who but exposes
his own baseness in making such state
ment 1 almost feel like saying that a
cause with such a defender ought to be
beaten. II IS Weyler In defence OF Spain
Mt Blacks fling seems amply justified
in the case OF the Suns editor, who, II
he has not become alarmed" has, al
least. certainly not become better"

THE BIBLE AS A TEXT BOOK.

The Hartford Courant learns that re-
Gently a number Of teachers ana pro-
fessors who had gathered at a Boston
dinner-table talked of the ignorance OF
their pupils concerning the Bible The
testimony of these gentlemen was that
they often found their pupils quite at
sea as to the meaning OF illusions to the
Bible in English classics, and they united
in expressing the hope that ''in the
many-sided department. OF English al
Harvard one course might be established
for the literary study Of the Book of
Books" Our Hartford contemporary
then enters a plea for the introduction OF
the Bible into the colleges as a literary
textbook, setting forth that the great
literary forms can therein be studied,
and the highest imaginative fights OF
poetry, prophecy. oratory, drama, and
narration be found" and after expressing
surprise that course of this sort has not
ere this been offered at some college, re-
marks that maybe it has been done
without our knowledge"
The Courant might have gone further
in presenting the advantages Of making
the Bible a textbook in colleges along
the line it has in view. It might have
stated that familiarity with the Bible IS
necessary TO an understanding and ap-
probation OF much Of the most interest
ing archaeological work that IS being done
in the East, where the spade and pick
Of the excavator are steadily undermining
the citadel OF higher criticism, and where
even the geologist IS finding confirmation
Of the biblical narrative.
However, We would say for the infor-
nation Of our Hartford contemporary
that in one Of the higher institutions of
learning in Virginia-and that not a the
illogical institution-the English Bible has
long been a regular textbook, the study
Of it and non-sectarian lectures upon it
constituting a distinct course.

TIE TrMEs's "HoNEsTY"

7-b. T,res continues to harp upon
"honest elections" While II Is on this
subject. we wish II would tell inc VIZ
ginle public how we could have honest
elections II our people adopted the XII
Niger policy, which the Times recon-
mendcd some time ago. AS is wen known
IN this state. this organ Of the Mckin-
lev auxiliary IS violently opposed to the
election law being violated in other ways
than that recommended by IT.
The Times went to work and had set
/ Of election officers at Smitherss IRE
cinct convicted. and has ever since
vaunted itself upon that achievement. IL
could have made no complaint against
them had they used the shotgun TO Keep
the negro voters from the polls, but the
smithereens having adopted another ana
more peaceable plan TO effect the same
end, the Times has ever since pursued
them with undying hate.
II the Times is as honest in this mat
ter as Il affects to be, IT should keep
standing at the head Of It's columns the
XIII Niger editorial. so that otner eiec-
ton officers may not fall into the error
that the Smithers' Precinct officers did.
But 50 far from giving its advice promi-
hence for tho life OF US, we cannot get
the Times to reproduce 1t in It's columns
al all. Thus the Times forces upon the
Dispatch a duty which II itself should
do. However, we shall not skirk this
duty. but from time TO time. as need
may be. we shall take pleasure In re-
producing the Timess recipe for making
the negroes stay at home on election
day.
And talking about honesty and
honest methods" we ask is it honest
for the Times TO pretend that 1t bolted
the Democratic party because the Demo
Gratis adopted an "snarchistic' ana
"Populistic" platform? Honor bright, now,
did you not at least one year ago
threaten to bolt the Democratic party
II free silver ticket were nominatedT
II seems 10 us that we remember some
such article And if the Times did say
O. year ago that 1t would bolt II a free
silver candidate were nominated, how
can It say now that It has bo.ted be-
cause the Chicago platform adopted an
"anarchistic platform"
And IL the Times viii continue its end
less harping upon honest methods
why in the nsme Of Heaven doesn't 1t
say right up and down that the boilers
ticket is merely a decoy ticket; that it
was put up to aid Mckinley and that
the boilers organization. during ell Of
this campaign. will take every opportuni-
ty that presents itself to boost the Repub-
lcans and down" the Democrats.
Let the Times come out and say II 1t
does not prefer Mckinley to Bryan; let
every boiling Democrat be asked the
same question. An honest answer would
furnish the key to the situation in our
State, and unlock the understanding OF
some good, unsuspecting Democrats, who
can't see that they are being made
hewers Of wood and drawers Of water for
the Virginia Republicans.

Of next year
Never have we had greater need than
we now have 10 maintain our party or

First. we have TO pass upon the ques-
ton OF holding a convention to revise and

coalition should prevail in Virginia this
year II will be ready for work In the
state election OF next year. and we shall
be confronted by the most formidable
opposition that we have had since the
time when Malone and Cameron secured
control OF the State.
In view Of this serious menace to our
marty and TO the state Of Virginia, how
can any old-time Democrat, any good
old Confederate. leave us and enlist under
the banner Of McKinleys auxiliaries?
How can any old rebel" see his COM
rades struggling against men led by Phil.

boiling brethren have had ample cooling
time we predict that they viii rejoin their
old friends In large numbers. They ought
no more to think of giving Mckinley a
half vote than whole vote. Their place
is IN our ranks. our, flag is the flag that
they ought to follow. Their cheers ought
to be for Democratic victories, not for
Republican victories.
The Democrats of the cities ought not
to leave their country brothers TO fight
this battle alone. Better that We earned
the eternal enmity of Wall street than
that we should be thought unfaithful
to the patient and long suffering, but ever
loyal farmers Of Virginia, who have beers

Marshall Stevens. the general manager
OF the great Manchester ship canal, is
visiting this country for the purpose Of
establishing regular lines of steamships
between our shores and Manchester.
The city OF Manchester is some forty
odd miles from Liverpool. The canal,
which was recently completed at cost
of S75,OOO.OOO connects Manchester with
Liverpool, thus giving the former city
the advantages of a seaport Manchester
is not only a centre of the English manu-
featuring Industries, but has become,
since the completion of the canal. the
nearest ocean steamer port for 7,0OO, 900
people
The ship-canal authorities. ever since
the opening, have been vigilant In their
efforts TO increase their United States and
Canadian trade. Much has already been
accomplished, and much more is expected
in the near future. For weeks past
General-Manager Stevens has been in
communication with the managers and
general freight agents Of AL the leading
American railway lines, the managers Of
managers Of steamship lines on the Great
Lakes, as well as the large shippers in
the chief American cities. and the live
stock agents controlling the shipments OF
cattle over the chief American trunk
lines of railways.
Already Mr.. Stevens has succeeded In
establishing a regular line Of steamers
between the cotton ports on the Gulf
OF Mexico and Manchester, which last
season carried 10000 bales OF cotton
direct TO the Manchester wharves, at
saving in dock charges OF N.oO per TON
Arrangements have recently been per-
fected for regular line OF steamships
h.tween New Orleans, Galveston. Savan-
nah, and Manchester.
Now. Mr.. Stevens ought TO come down
here and arrange for a regular steamship
line between Norfolk and Newport News
and Manchester.

Is the Bryan Sentiment Dying Out:
Washington Post)
THE assertion that the free silver senti-
ment IS dying out IS not true 50 far as
Indiana is concerned" said Hon. John
W. Kern, one Of the most prominent
lawyers OF Indiana, at the Riggs. only
this week a big crowd Of people had to
be dispersed by United States officer
because they were obstructing the space
about the post-Ofice In my city, Indiana
polls. They were congregated there lis
tening TO arguments on the financial IS
sue. That doesn't much look as II in
terest was dying out. l have been In the
East some weeks, and wherever I so l
hear groups Of men talking on the same
lines, and the number OF silver advocates
ia this part OF the country has surprised
me.
Though believer in sound money, l
shall vote for Bryan. As ex-senator Nc
Donald. OF our State, used 10 say even
though your own platform has one bad
plank with al, the rest good 1t is more
worthy Of support than the opposition
platform with one plank halfway good.
and all the rest rotten. l have no doubt

warm Democrats and old-time Repuoh-

At the beginning OF this campaign NY
Bryan's friends thought 1t would be use
less for him to make any effort to carry
New York; they believed 1t was sure Tor
Mckinley. But things have chanSd
greatly. There IL now good ground Tor
believing that the New York State Demo-
cratic Convention will endorse Bryan.
and IL it does he will have something
moro than fighting chance for New
Yorlk's electoral votes.
The masses OF the Democratic party
In the city Of New. York are undoubtedly
for Bryan, and reports from there and
from tho smaller cities and the rural
districts prove that he is gaining
strength every day. Thousands OF New
York farmers that have never yet voted
a Democratic ticket will this year give
their support to Bryan. And proof OF
the fact that the Republicans are alarmed
about the State may be found in the fact
that they are concentrating there their
ablest speakers and their biggest barls.

Mr. Mckinley says in his letter of ac-

IF the free and unlimited coinage OF
silver, at a ratio OF IS ounces OF silver
TO l ounce OF gold would, as some OF its
advocates assert, make SO cents in silver
worth 100 cents, and the silver dollar
equal TO the gold dollar, then we would
have no cheaper money than now, ana
1t would be no easier 10 get"
But John Stuart Mil. the greatest po-
litical economist OF any age. says:
THAT an increase OF the quantity OF
money raises prices, and a diminuuon
lowers them. is the most elementary pro-
position In the theory Of currency, and
without it we should have no key TO any
Of the others"
1t cannot be denied that to adopt free
coinage would be TO increase the guam
uty Of money That raises prices"
says Mr.. Mil. To raise prices would
seem TO make It easier for the producer
to get money.
