MORE MONEY.

The people want more money. says
an esteemed contemporary. That Is a
very natural want shared I'm by Il great
many people But the only way to sup
ply the want is to SO TO work and earn
1t. There is no instance OH record where
wishing for ii every brought it.-Pe-
tersburg 1ndeX-Appeal.
More money Is sine qua non-the
essential condition precedent OF more
higher prices, greater values, @ freer
circulation Of currency, an easier mon
ey-markct, better credit and more ac-
two exchanges and transactions OF
every kind. But. says our contempora-
~ il people want money, "the only way
to supply the want Is to go TO work and
earn it, That. however, is putting the
cart before the horse and reversing the
order OF things Work and wages must
be first supplied before the people can
work. Stlll, as our contemporary is so
blind TO the most obvious things, we
must not expect it to sec this. The peo-
pie want more money and II great deal
Of 1t. In many OF the States they prac-
tically have no money ut all, and no
currency. and in Southwestern Vir-
glnin the people have long been reduc-
ed to barter. Even in the city OF New
York the Financier tells us that "call
money" on flrst-class commercial-pa-
per, is at GA per cent. In New England
wages are falling, working force re-
duced. factories closing.
The repeal OF the silver dcmonctlza-
ton act OF 1873 would largely contrib
ute to the more money" the people
want. a circulating medium, not n
commodity, Is what is desired: and in
such quantity that 1t will seek invest
ment. create new enterprises. make de-
mand for labor, raise wages, enhance
prices, increase values The remoneti-
cation OF silver will go n long may to

our interest charge.

A DANGEROUS RIVAL OF HANNA

SOMETHING TO THINK OVER.
(The Roanoke Times.)

No doubt the Martin peoplo are unan-
imously pleased at The outcome OF the
Pulaski, Culpeper and Bedford pri-
mar!es. In these counties the people
were given an opportunity 10 express
their choice between Tyler and Martin
for the United states Senate. The re-
suit was exactly what 1t would be in
other localities were the same privi-'
ege granted the Democratic voters.
Saturdays primaries In this city show
ed beyond a doubt that this is true of
Roanoke a.; well. With all tie schem-
ing that months of hard Ia Dor had
made possible and with an trmy OF
workers around the polls. all with a
double barrel weapon in the shape of
straddlc of both sides of the question
at stake, the Martin people were only
able TO defeat a Tyler candidate, who
came out against them upon a notice
OF less than two days. and who was
almost entirely unaidcd and without or
gan!zation, by two hundred votes. And
1t is said that many OF these votes were
cast by those who were not aware of
how things stood and that had they
not been given tickets calculated 10
mislead them there would not have
been majority of even two hundred.
Here is something for the Tyler peo-
pie of Virginia to think over. They
have every reason To feel clatsd and to
congratulate themselves. If they vii!
stand firm in those sections that have
not already declared themselves and
Will insist upon q fair and square set

STATES RIGHTS.

"And yet we must say that the Dis

Richmond Times.
And elsewhere the Times speaks of
"Mr. Bryan's latest proposition TO de-
stroy State sovereignty and local self
government by requiring a government
license for corporations to carry on bus
mess from State to State.
It is hardly necessary to say that the
Times has no warrant at az for these
wild assertions,-which are much more
true of paper (the Times) which. in
the same issue, urges Il system of

mand, the Comptroller shall place il in

powers Congress to commit no such
ou;rages on the States nor the pco-
pie; and If i; did, totidem verbs, that
would be no excuse for the Times to adj

would shrink from them with shame
and horror. And we undertake to say
that never before nor since the war,
even under the pretext of human free
dom, were ever such outragcs proposed
as these the Times coolly suggests in
behalf of money against all the rights
