SILVER A DEAD ISSUE.
Mrs. Lease Has Taken Up the Cause of
Socialism.

CARTHAGE, Mo-, july 9.-Mrs. Mary
Ellen Lease, who is here as q lecturer at
the Chautauqua assembly, said in ian inter
view to-day.
"The silver question is an issue Of the
past, and will never again serve as the
leading issue for the reform elements of
politics. If Mr.. Bryan is going to make
The silver question the dominant issue in
the next campaign, here is one woman
against him. Socialism is the hope of the
country, and in the next campaign the
fight will be made for industrial emancipa-
ton of the people.
One by one the ardent supporters Of
Organism and free silver are cutting them
selves loose. Coxey, Debs, Boies and
Lease, four of the brightest stars in the
galaxy of Blyanism, have shut Of their
scintiating rays; and Tom Watson has
about side tracked all Southern and Wcs-
tern Populist editors and will have them
squarely in the middle of the road in 1900.
Bryan may continue to tell the people
how poor they are, receiving for his
arduous labors 81 900 week, but his
chances for the Presidency are dead.

patriotism, the spirit of the fathers Of 1776,
In no country in the world should true
patriotism be more exemplifed than in
this.-Rev. w. II. Carwardine, in Chicago.
Join no church, identify yourself to no
denomination which does not believe in
our tri.colored banner. am glad my lot
has been cast with a denomination from
first to last that has been loyal to country.
Rev. DIR. Northrup, in Kansas City.
The old flag proclaims gospel Of civic
righteousness. If our national history
teaches anything it is goodness and great
ness are related forces. In proportion as
we are clean, we are strong.-Rev. Ward
Beecher Pickard, in Cleveland.
The peril of our country to-day is greed.
Greed of money; greed for pleasure. How
ever we may explain it, there is something
in us all awakened by our efforts to gain
money that makes us hard and unsympa-
thizing.-Rev. DIR. Lawrence, in Chicago.
Here are our lessons for our boys and
girls, for our young men and maidens'
They need not study them in catechism.
They need not repeat them in words. They
are object lessons, to be learned as they
play ball in sight of Sam Adams State
House, or beneath the shadow ofthe mon
ument of Bunker's Hill.-Dr. Edward
Everett Hale, in Boston.
Does it never occur to us as we sit COM
fortably in our homes, or walk the city
streets upon our business, or ride through
the fertile hills and valleys of this beautiful

to make the country what it is? How

we enjoy REV. w. L. Worcester, in

TELL US HOW TO MAKE MONEY.

Recently the writer met gentleman on
the road and he said "Iwish you would tell
us farmers how to make some money.
He is one of the most successful and sub
stantial farmers in the county. With
hundreds of acres Of the finest grazing and
grain lands, with large numbers Of cattle,
large focks of sheep, extensive grain fields
and one of the largest crops OF wheat in
the county, just harvested, it sounds I'M
reasonable for the gentleman in question
to make such a speech. Surrounded as
he is with all the material things that con-
stitute substantial wealth, which can be ex-
changed readily, at the most remunera-
tive prices, for that thing which is suppos-
ed to be wealth, money, why should he CT
others like him complain? The gentle
man has sold his lambs for about cents
per pound, he expects to sell his wheat for
81. 90 per bushel, his cattle are as good as
gold and prosperity is piled upon our
worthy friend. Providence has been
good to him. He has worked faithfully
himself and has been substantially assist
ed, no doubt, by his industrious and in
telligent family, but he has been infected
with the contagion of complaining about
the hard times and the lack of prosperity.
There are many others throughout the
country who are similarly situated and
who are just as unreasonable in their com-
plants. The farmers OF Tazewell have
much to be thankful for Their focks and
herds are large, and the prices they are
getting are good. Their grain fields are
promising, and the hay crop looks like it
will be abundant and of fine quality.
With so much material wealth in their
possession, which can be marketed at re-
munerative prices, they ought not to COM
plain.

PERSONAL NOTES.

The appointment Of Professor Hardy,
of Dartmouth, as Minister to Persia, is
spoken of most highly all over the country
by both Democrats and Republican news
papers.
Former Ambassador Thomas F. Bayard
on Tuesday drove one of his new foreign
teams of horses for the first time, in VIII
mington, Del, and attracted considerable
attention.
The late Governor Horatio Seymour, Of
New York, was once compelled to listen
to a conversation between two clergymen
in which they said that he was the worst
drunkard in Utica, and that although he
owned over half the rum shops in the city
he worked only in the morning, as he was
always too drunk to do anything in the
afternoon.
Representative Bailey, ofTexas, recently
said that he had no ambition higher than
the Senate, and desired no career more
than that of Senator.
Ex,secretary Evarts, of New York, re-
marked as soon as he woke up last Sunday
morning: "Let's see, this is Fourth of
July, isn's it? Well, go upstairs and hang
out the flag. That's the way we always
celebrate the day in this house."
Little John Jefries, six-year-old great
grandson of the famous DR.. Charming, has
saved 81 from his pocket money of five
cents week, and sent it with this note to
Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, "For the poor
Armenians. do not like the Turks a
bit. l think they are horrid."

Hard TO Satisfy.
Norfolk Pilot

N0riolE Plot
The esteemed Portsmouth Times is hard
to please. The Senate amended the Din
gley Bill, taking raw Lides from the free
list and placing them on the dutiable list.
The Times protested fiercely against this,
alleging that is was for the benefit Of some
imaginary cattle-trust at the expense OF
shoe-maufacturers and of all who wear
shoes. As soon as the Senate was apprised
of the Times objections,i it fastened to put
raw hides again on the free.list; and now,
still not content, the Times cries that the
Senate refuses "all help to the farmer"
(having discovered, by reading THE Pilot,
perhaps, that farmers are all interested in
cattle and their hides, and says: Gas it
is, the cattle-raiser gets no protection on
his hides, but the leathermanufacturer,
who makes them into leather, has heavy
tariff-tax put on that article for his benefit,
and the cattle-raiser has to contribute his
proportion of it."
Some folks are very difficult to satisfy.
We are very glad, however, to see that
our esteemed Portsmouth contemporary
finds one consolation in the tariff. The
tariff, it thinks, is insufficient for revenue,
and will force the coinage ofthe silver bull
lion in the Treasury to supply the deficit.
1t says: sit will be the means Of coming
more silver and thus increasing the amount
of circulating medium in the country"
Let us hope so. Nothing is hardly all
bad.

A STATE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

There should be no further delay on the
part of the State Executive Committee in
calling a convention for the purpose of de-
termining what course shall be pursued in
the coming State election. 1t may be the
will of the masses Of the party to place a
full ticket in the field and make an earnest
fight for control of Virginia. Even if it
should be deemed best to make no party
contest, but to let an Independent ticket,
pledged to honest elections, contend with
the Democratic Populist combination, that
plan should be endorsed by a
convention representing the rank and file
of the party. The State convention should
be called without more delay.

FARMING THAT PAYS.

In former articles at different times we
have undertaken to point out the serious
mistake farmers in Tazewell County were
making in not raising more wheat. We
have several times called attention to the
fact that in the year 1896, according to es-
Inmates made by competent men, such as
Capt. G. A. Fudge, one hundred thousand
dollars or more had been sent from the
county for wheat and flour that ought to
have been produced at home. In our ar
ticles we argued that the scarcity OF money
in our country was largely due to tie fact
that the said one hundred thousand dol
lars had been sent out never to find Its
way back, except In insignificant proper
tons TO the original amount. No one has
undertaken to dispute the correctness OF
our views, and we have been told by many
gentlemen, farmers and other business
men, that they could not be controyerted'
This year the acreage of wheat is much
larger than it was in 1896, and the yield
per acre nearly twice rs much. The re-
suit will be that less money will have to be
paid out for bread this year land to that ex-
tent there will be an improvement in the
financial condition of the county.
1t is our purpose TO continually call the
attention of the farmers of Tazewell to the
importance of producing not only sufficient
grain to feed our own population, but
surplus to send to the coal fields and
other places. The abundant harvests of
this year are great source Of comfort to
those farmers who have share in them.
You can see this in the bright faces they
have when telling you Of their excellent
wheat crops.
Ifevery farmer in the county will COM

BUSINESS is WAITING.
The country Ready for Prosperity
as Soon as the Tariff Becomes

a Law.
Brooklyn eagle Dem.)
The business of the country is waiting
for the ending of Congressional tariff action
rather than for any special form OF such
action. The capacity of the American
people to stand any conditions, ifthey may
only know them and if they can be insur-
ed against sudden change in them, has
been proved to the discomfort Of theorists
and of pessimistic prophets more than
once. Public intelligence draws the line
between those professionally committed to
attacks on tariff measures and those pro-
fessionally committed to eulogies of them.
The actual result on enterprise and the
actual effect on confidence can be seen in
markets and in investments, not in the
columns of party organs.
The eagle" sincerely hopes that the
country may prosper under the fourth
coming tariff measure. The process OF
enforced liquidation through which the
business of the land has been going for
years has proceeded so far that the dura-
ton or the degree of it cannot be much
increased without signal disasteror danger
GUS revulsion. The passage of the tariff
measure should clear the way for deilb-
crate and iudicious consideration of the
currency question. Should the pending
measure result in fair amount of prosper
itv condition of hopefulness would be
presented which should make the rational
and conservative treatment of the curren-
cy question possible. On the other hand,
the maintenance of the Administration In
charge Of sound money party is an IN
surance of the continuous credit OF the
country and Of its adherence to honest
standards. That creates another condi-
ton favorble to a wise settlement OF the
currency question.
We have no distractions to avenge and
no theories to vindicate at the expense OF
the prosperity OF the people Oh the Ohiteu
States. We earnestly trust that parties as
instrumentalities Of government may be
found compatible with that prosperity and
that the Republican party, as the elected
instrument for government, may be able,
in conjunction with Democratic patriotism
and honesty, to bring that prosperity
about. Should tariff measure which no.
body defends surprise the people with
such satisfactory results in business that
neither party would care to disturb them,
then the currency question might be set
tied by the union of honest money Re-
publlcans and honest money Democrats
upon programme which would compel
the financial errorists in both organizations
to 90 off and flock by themselves. A situa-
ton of general prosperity and period OF
sound economic instruction would make
their number few.

THURSDAY, JULY Is, 1897.
A SLUMBERING VOLCANO.

The campaign in Virginia this year may
turn out to be a slumbering volcano. To
all appearances the Bryanites have every
thing in a swing; but the conditions may
greatly change before the election comes
off in November. The Silver men COM
pletely dominate what is called the Demo
cratic organization in the State. They are
so well satisfied with their power that they
are willing to rely on that, assisted by the
election machinery. Their former allies,
the Populists, are, seemingly, going to be
ignored, whilst the Gold Democrats are
being treated with the utmost scorn and
contempt
For many years the machine which now
controls the State was greatly aided by
popular hostility to Malone. Since his
death it mas retained its lease of power by
an unfair election law, enacted for the
special purpose of keeping the will of the
people in subsection to the wishes Of the
machine. In the past the Populist party,
though small in numbers, has made res
olute fight for honest elections. Such
leaders as Cooke, Beverly, Page, Hasklns
and Goode proclaimed themselves cham
pions of an honest election law. Some Of
these have, no doubt, been hoodooed by
the spell of Organism, and in their eager
search for free silver have lost all interest
in the fight for free ballot. But we take
it for granted that the rank and file of the
Populist organization in the Common
wealth is still sincerely hostile to the fraud
ulent methods which are used to control
the elections in Virginia
AS to the attitude of the sound money
Democrats on the fair elections question
there can be no doubt. Their chief Or
gan, the Richmond Times, has made a
very resolute fight on that line. Its ex-
posure of the vile frauds at Smithers' pre-
cinct, in Henrico County, and at other
places, did much to arouse public senti'
ment in favor of honest elections and tc
bring the Democratic machine into disre
pute.
The Republican party, to man, is
united in favor of a new election law
Whether it be true Or not, Republicans
believe that Democratic victories in Nir
GINA are won by fraud, and Democratic
majorities are largely dependent on the
manipulation of the ballots by election Of
fcers. Nothing is more largely wished fol
[ by the Republicans than to measure
strength with the Democrats under the
operations of simple, honest election
law.
The democratic organization is conscious
of the fact that there is an immense seuti-
ment in the State in support of new and
pure election methods, a sentiment which
if concentrated and unified, would hurl the
machine from power. For this reason the
effort will be made to make Organism Oh
free silver the chief or only issue in the
coming election. If we are not mistaken
they will not be permitted TO make the
race on such false issue. Honest cleo
tons will be forced to the front, and the
volcano, upon which the Democratic ma
chine is now standing, may burst forth
and secure the relief so much needed.

to Hon. W. H. Hale, Of Franklin County,

Maj. Page has found out the Democrats

chestnut pullers." Very wise in Maj,

finds that "No Populist is Wanted"

There are other gentlemen who are also
being spoken of as candidates. We have
heard the name of Hon. w. G. Mustard
urged, also that Of Henry Bowen, Jr., and
that Of Oscar Barns, Esq, 1t is the firm
purpose of the Republicans to select a man
and elect him by sound majority. Our
Democratic friends need not think they
will be allowed to secure Senator from
this district again. Whether our candi-
