Money for Southern Farmers.

The effect of the recent advance OF
cotton and of the good grain crops in
the South will be according to the
Manu- facturer's Records estimate,
to put cat least So, 100000, possibly
S1OO,COO,OOO," into the pockets OF
the Southern people over and above
what they received for the same crops
last year. Last year Western farmers
got good prices fol- their grain and
meat, while Southern farmers had to
face q fall of the price of their cot
ton. This year both the West and
South will be Tin clover" Of course
SIS, 100000 will make large diff
ference in the prosperity of Dixie.
The mining, manufacturing and rail-
road interests of that section have
greatly improved in recent years,
with incidental benefit to the agri-
cultural interests. It's highly graft
tying to know that the latter interest
is now to benefit directly by the en-
hancement ofthe price Of its product.
And it must be noted that the price
improves without Gree silver" on
the gold basis.-Balt. sun.

Newspaper published in Stickley's
own town [Strasburg,l and which
was supporting Stickley until the
State Central Committee of the dem
ocratic party of the State of Virginia
declared Josiah Stickley an Indepen
dent. Then as a truly democratic
paper it took the position that to be
consistent with its democratic princi-
pies it would have to support the reg
ular nominee Of the party. and as Mr..
J. L Fellcr has been declared the
regular nominee by the proper tribu-
nal, the Strasburg News is now sup
porting Mr.. Teller. thereby affirming
its principles Of true democracy. The
Shenandoah Valley, which as every
enc knows, has always been Demo
cratic paper is supporting Mr.. Feller.

Democrats. The Edinburg Sentinel
with its republican owners and Gold.

is regular with the Sentinel that two

WHO IS THE DEMOCRATIC
NOMINEE? J. l.. TELLER
WHO SAYS so?

The State Central Committee Of
the Democratic party says so, the
highest organization of the party.
The Edinburg Sentinel also admits
that Stickley the Building d Loan
Director, the Gold Bug Candidate, is
Independent. In its Issue ofOctober
9Th, 1899 the Sentinel says; ave adj
NIT Stckley is independent, as Fcller
is dependent" Yes Feller is depend
ent; dependent on the regularity OF
his nomination, and on the true
Democrats of Shenandoah county for
the votes that will elect him. lie Is
not looking to :, combination to land
him in the virginia Legislature.
Fellow emocrdts, here is proof
tat Sticky is Independent from his
Own paper, proof from the State Cen
tai Committee Of Your own party
What more evidence do you want.

democratic party, vote for him.

Mr.. Bryan, IN his speech at Pair-
cab, KY, last Monday, says; "Thc
Chicago platform Of 1896 was new
declaration" Mr. Bryan gave those
people the truth. The Chicago plat
form was declaration different from
any which the democratic party had
ever made. In our opinion, it was
undemocratic. 1t deserted democra-
tic principles to win populist and re-
publican votes. The result was de-
feat. 1t was not the defeat Of tie
democracy, but the defeat ofthe CON-
bination. Mr. Bryan insists upon
the same kind ofplatform. The Amer
lean people expect the same result.

that these gentlemen now pose as the
irregular" democrats, and all who do
not submit to their dictation are to be
read out of the party us "bolters and
independents
The very worst thing that l have
heard of Mr. J. l.. Feller is that he
was one of that little band that thus
endeavored to take advantage of the
honest farmers and honest people of
Shenandoah.
When / read of it l was impressed
with the fact that Mr.. Feller is only
a weak instrument IN the hands Of
politicians and is not the man
to represent me and my interests in
the Legislature of Virginia.
1t seems to me that these gentle
men, with the assistance of the poll
tlcians, among whom are Senator
Martin and Congressman Hay, would
take every right from democrats
which we have heretofore enjoyed,
and would place us under the heels OF
men who hold office or are seeking
to yet office.
Under these circumstances | am
gong to defend my political rights SO
far as | can, and will not, under any
circumstances, support a candidate
who would lend himselfto the effort
to place over me a County Commit
tee, selected by Mr.. Martin and
Mr. Hay and the Test
of the State Committee
with the assistance of MessIs.
Brenaman, Bauserman, Feller and
Miley.
l do not deny my German blood,
but when these gentlemen attempt TO
make me believe that the expression,
"pot-bcllied dutch" of Shenandoah
came from the Edinburg Sentinel,
where it was merely quoted from one
Of their own partners in politics, they
presume upon the ignorance of our
German people, and show their will
ingness to deceive us iii any way that
they can.
They first insulted us by using the
expression, and now they insult us
by trying to make us believe that
their own expression was first used by
friend of Ar Stlckley.
1fthcy would deceiye us in one
thing, they would deceive us in all,
and their own conduct has fully con-
WINGED me that Mr. Feller, whom
they denomiuate "the Farmers Cam
didate," has found very bad COM
pany.
While l am ready TO defend any
right which the Countryman has, /
am not willing for a little band of Of
flee seekers TO array us against the
town people, while they are simply
trying to use us IN order to get offices
for themselves. | recognize the old
tricks and shall certainly refuse to
vote with the party that attempted
to override n Convention of Shenar-
doah democrats, and went all the way
to Richmond in order to have their
own brothers kicked our OF the dem
Ocratic party because they were not
wiling to be led by them.

ley, unless | find out that he and his
friends have acted as badly as have
the other people.
