We took run up to Camp At
kinson yesterday We found the.
boys from this county in good
shape, looking well, happy and
contented. One of them said to
US that you could not drive
member of the company home if
he thought he had to stay. The
boys have only part of their
uniforms, but are expecting the
rest In day or two.
When we arrived at the camp
the most of the men of the regi-
ment were on the drill ground or
on picket and guard duty. The
company and the regiment are re-
garded as a splendid set of men.
and the officers said to us they
had no trouble with the mon, and
that every member of the regi-
ment seemed to know his duty,
and did it without grumbling.
Gov. Atkinson and Gen. Appleton
are in love with this regiment. and
are expecting great things of them
should they ever get into battle
with the Spanish. The Governor
visits the camp twice day. and
the boys have great respect for
him because, as they say. "He is
so pleasant and universally kind
to them
Gen. Appleton is straining every
nerve to get the Second West Vir-
ginia Regiment in the very best of
trim and shape, and hopes to have
them riggedout next week in full
regulation uniform, and armed
with latest improved army guns.
The camp is situated~about q
mile and half below Charleston.
and to get there you get off at Pat
trick Station, the closest point,
and all who can go should make
them q visit.

three dozen flags flying above it.

Hon. Jas. Capehart is expected
to be at Union School House on
July 10th. at the Pioneer Silver
Club meeting.
All the talk here is war. 1t
now looks as though we would
have to fight Germany and perhaps
all Europe with the exception of
Great Britain. 1t is not at all
probable that this war will close
without a resistance from the
European powers. In such an
emergency we can raise, it is esti-
mete 100000 men between the
ages of Is and 10. But suppose
all the powers would come against
US, then it might be necessary to
call those between Is and 60, which
would number about six million
more. And rather than see 'Old
Glory, come down there are four
million patriotic women-yes wom-
en-. Did you ever hear of Mollie
Picher of the Revolutionary War,
and many others, to swell the num-
Der to twenty millions. This
would be the grandest army that
ever marched. The men could
fighton the ocean and we could
protect the coast. L say Eve" for
the last to enlist would not be
CLEOPATRA.

BLOOD and MUSCLE
OF THE CoUNTRY-THIS is
WHAT MONEY is TO y
COUNTRY.
An UnhoIy Alliance of the
Money Changers to De-
stroy 1t.

The owners of money through
out the civilized world have en-
tered into close combination
to reduce the volume of legal
tender to the commodity of gold.
The holders of bonds and other
obligations to pay money at a flu
ture day are in this combination.
By making legal tender scarce
they increase its purchasing power.
By domenetizing silver and con-
fining The money standard to gold
their property (gold) must con-
tinue to advance. while the price
of all other kinds of property must
continue to decrease. To reach
the gold standard will be a long
and expensive journey, requiring
frequent REIMBURSEMENT of values.
That our readers may better
understand the situation, states
the Cincinnati Enquirer, it is only
necessary to state that there are
81, 63O,OOO,OOO of full legal tender
silver and S2,5Oo,oOO,oOO of uncov-
cred paper money to be destroyed
before the gold standard can be
reached. Those who only have
their hands and skill to supply
their wants, the possessors of real
estate and personal effects, manu-
facturers, merchants and all en-
gagged in business enterprises, will
require no argument to understand
that they cannot prosper while the
process of contraction is in pro-
gress. 1t will be equally plain
that money and time obligations
to pay money are absorbing the
lions share of the products of in
dustry.
There will be continual rise in
the purchasing power of money
and corresponding decline in the
value of all the means of payment.
If they can increase the value of
money they enrich themselves
without cost OF sacrifice. while all
the balance of the human family
are impoverished We assume
that the purchasing power of a
dollar depends upon the number
of dollars in circulation and upon
the abundance or scarcity of the
property wanted in exchange. To
strike out of existence S2.63o,o0o,-
600 of legal tender and S2,500,o0o,-
600 of uncovered paper money
must necessarily involve in disas-
ten, and ruin every productive en-
terprise. Money is the instru-
ment of production; the tool of in
dustry, the medium of exchange.
The combination formed by the
moneyed class in all countries
must be destroyed. The indus
trial classes must be united and
the conspirators defeated in their
scheme to make paupers and
slaves of the moneyless. The
thing to be first accomplished is
the unlimited coinage of gold and
silver and the issue by the govern
ment of all credit money.
