DREADFUL PREDICTIoN.-In q
speech in the House of Representa-
tives Feb. 81, 1878, Mr.. Carlisle said :
1.-THE conspiracy which seems to
have been formed here and i'm
Europe to destroy by legislation and
otherwise from three-sevenths to
one-half of the metallic money of the
world is the most gigantic crime of
this or any other age. The consum-
nation of such scheme would ulti-
mately entail more misery upon the
human race than all the wars, pesti-
lence and famines that ever occurred
In the history of the world"
There are thousands i'm this coun-
try and in Europe who believe that
the existing condition of the people
is literal fulfillment of Mr.. Car
isles prediction. What has come
over the spirit of Mr.. Carlisle's
dreams that he now stands for the
gold standard which he denounced
with such feeling and intensity in
1878. Can it be that his associations
with the money kings Of the world
have brought abont this change in
his opinions

they dread the erect OF an alliance
i'm financial policy with the other
powers in Europe; that these powers
are in constant antagonism and the
dread Of war Is ever present in their
councils. They hesitate to place the
control Of money-the chief power
in European wars-in the hands of q
government (England) whose power
is not altogether European, but is
found on the seas and in her colonies
in distant lands. The Senator re-
CARDS it as very vague and distant
hope that Great Britain will ever
yield to European or American
States participation in her financial
policy by treaty agreements.
He then refers to the fact that in
all the discussion of the question
and in all the resolutions passed in
this country, no one has ever stated
in outline or formulated in detail
any plan for such an international
agreement, and calls upon Mr.. Whit.
ney or any one else to state ouch g
plan, if there be one, at least in its
general features.
| Proceeding to state some of the
reasons which induce him to believe
that such an agreement between the
United States and transatlantic ma
tions for the regulation of the value
of gold and silver, either as coin or
bullion, is impossible, Senator Nor
gan argues these metals are both
mere articles Of commerce, with no
| fixed legal value, and must be sub
troll Of the owner as to price, just as
corn, cotton and wheat are the sub
jects Of unrestricted purchase and
sale. He holds that there are
constitutional difficulties in the
way; that the Executive, under our
constitution, has no power to treat
with other nations on the subject of
| finance since the control of that sub
ject is given to the Congress, and,
that the power to negotiate our f.
nances being given to Congress, that
body cannot delegate it's power to
any foreign nation. He believes
that even if such an agreement could
be made it would not be kept, and
any breach of il would lead to war
or reprisals. Regarding the scheme
of an international agreement as
both impossible and impracticable
he declares that we must act indie.
pendently, if at all, and that every
consideration Of public policy and
the interest of our own people and
country demand that we go forward
in the effort to restore the white
metal to its rightful place in oul
| coinage system.

From a Free Silver Republican.

Hon. James b. Menager, Of Point
Pleasant, has long been one of the
most prominent Republicans In the
State. He has been candidate for
Governor and for Congress-, and is
y ct Republican on all questions but
one. Read this from him:
II voted for Grant in 1872, and
every candidate on the Republican
ticket for President down to and in
Guiding 1892. was in hopes the
Republican party would enact some
favorable Legislation on the silver
question, and so wrote to some Of the
prominent Republicans representing
this State. The last House Of Rep
resentatives, as every one knows, was
overwhelmingly Republican. AS
Senator Teller said, 1t has done
nothing, with full power and oppor-
tunity to act.' l have seen proper
to champion the silver cause and to
Towne and even the great Blaine
1t is pity those who differ from me
on this question cannot confine them
selves to argument instead of insidio
Gus and untruthful filings. l am not
Democrat but am free silver Re-
publican. What party or by what
name it may be called, the exigen-
cies of the battle for restoration of
silver to its proper place in our none
tary system may lead me into, don't
know. There is nothing in name.'
There is, however, a blending of
men of all past political beliefs I'M
der the banner Of the man who said,
You shall not press down upon the
brow of labor this crown of thorns.
You shall not cruelty mankind upon
a cross of gold.'
JAS. b. MENAGER."
Prominent Republicans all over
the State are tiocking to the standard
of Bryan and Sewall. Judge Jas.
II. Brown, Judge Drew and Mr.. A.
Burlew, of the Charleston bar, are
active supporters of the Democratic
ticket, and Mr.. Burlew is busy Or
ganizing Bryan clubs in Kanawha.
DIR. M. S. Holt, of Weston, another
prominent Republican, and Col. Da-
Wis, of this county, are also out
spoken for Bryan, and there are
many others whose names we do not
now recall.

POSITION STATED. Congressman
Newlands, of Nevada, thus states
the position Of the advocates of free
coinage, in a speech delivered before
the Bimetalic Convention at st.
Louis:
at is not intended to pay debts
with fifty-cent dollars, or drive away
gold, or to debase our currency. Our
purpose simply is by increasing the
coinage and use of silver and by
giving it equal privileges with gold
to raise its value and by diminishing
the strain on gold, which gold mono.
metalism has caused, to take away its
unjust appreciation, and thus by put.
ting up the value of silver and put.
ting down the value of gold to re.
store the old ratio so that sixteen
ounces of silver will be worth In
bullion as well as in coin one ounce
Of gold. Thus, the old unit of value
the dollar-based on both metals
instead of one-will be restored, anG
we shall have gold dollar worth
one hundred cents in silver and q sill
yer dollar worth one hundred cents
in gold.
If we are asked why this ratio i.
determined upon, our answer is no
only that that has been the customar,
ratio for years, but also that the to
tai stock of silver coin in the worlc
is four thousand million dollars tina
the total stock of gold coin is ap
proximately the same, and that j
the total stocks of silver and gol,
were each melted into solid mass
the silver mass would be about six
teen times as great in weight as tn
gold mass. We also answer that TO
day, the relative production of tn
two metals is in approximately tn
same proportion. We must establish
by law some relation of value be
tween the two metals. And we pro
pose to value silver as 1t will stan,
after restoration to equality of priv
leges with gold, and not while it
discredited by unequal laws"

This Doesn't Look Bad.

The following from the London
Financial Ne,cS, a periodical of very
high authority, is said to be exciting
all England with the alarm-cry of
what free silver will do for us:
"There is plain moral i'm the re-
mark that if the United States would
venture to cut herself adrift from
Europe and take outright to silver
she would have all America and
Asia at her back and the command
of the markets of both Countries
The barrier of gold would be more
fatal than any barrier Of u custom
house. The bond of silver would be
stronger than any bond of free trade.
There can be no doubt about 1t that
if the United States we're to adopt
silver basis tomorrow British trade
would be ruined before the year was
out. Every American would be pro-
tected, not only at home, but In
every other market. OF course the
United States would suffer to GER
tain extent through having to pay
her obligations abroad in gold, but
the loss of exchange under this head
would be mere drop in the bucket
As compared to the profit to be rea ped
from the markets of South America
and Asia, to say nothing of Europe.
The marvel is that the United States
have not long ago seized the oppor-
tunity. 1t has been a piece of luck
that it has never occurred to the
Americans to scoop us out of the
worlds markets by going on silver
basis, and it might serve US right if,
irritated by the contemplate apathy
Of our government toward the silver
problem, the Americans retaliated
by freezing out gold. 1t could be
easily done.
The trade of the world is now in
our hands, but it will not long remain
there if the United States goes to a
| ouoio :" I'LL nee uUlln-
tied coinage Of silver.
With the addition of silver to the
volume of money, everything in
America would take on a new face
labor and industry would gain new
life. The grip of the gold standard
on the products of the world would
be loosened and prices would rise.--
Great Britain would lose her markets
in South America, Asia and Europe,
and American ships would not he
long in capturing the carrying trade
of the world"
WHY MCKINLEY Is SILENT.-The
reason of McKinley's silence is not
far to seek. He dare not face the
following facts:
First-McKinley voted to suspend
the rules and pass free silver bill
in 1877.
Second In 1873 he voted for the
Bland Silver Dollar bill and sup
ported it, and did much to accom-
President Hayes.
Third-In 1883, when Chairman of
the Platform Committee of the Re-
publican National Convention, he re-
ported resolutions denouncing 1.-the
policy Of the Democratic Admins.
tration In its efforts to demOnetize
silver"
Fourth-In 1890, when leader Of
the House, he advocated the passage
of the Sherman Silver purchase law
and declared 81 want the double.
standard. - Catholic Herald.
We sympathize with the good Ma
jor, for we have no doubt he feels
greatly embarrassed standing on the
goldbug platform Mark Hanna and
Wall Street made for him. MIR.
