What do the gold advocates
mean by calling the silver dollar n
"ffty cent dollar2 Do they mean
that it will buy only half as much
as it formerly would? Surely not,
for they must know that it will buy
twice as much of some things, and
nearly twice as much of the aver
age of all things. Take the silver
dollar and melt it down to piece
of bullion, and they say it is only
worth fifty cents. Fifty cents in
what? "Why, in gold" they ans
wer. But the ordinary citizen does
pot want to buy any gold. He
wants commodities, and his piece
of silver will buy as much of them
on an average as the gold dollar
would buy in 1873. Is not that
enough? Should anything more
be asked? Is that piece of silver
so very cheap to the farmer who
has to surrender a bushel or more
of his wheat to get it2 Silver is
cheap to the few who have gold
with which to buy it, but to the
many who can only obtain it with
the products of their toll it is dear

Considering matters and things
politically from Fourth District
Democracy the idea suggests itself
that the nomination for Congress
belongs to the upper end of the dis
triot. The democracy next year
will profit by the lesson of the past
on the idea of eleoting anybody who
will consent to accept place on the
ticket. The time has come when
a man must at least be able to make
a thorough canvass of the counties,
and man of this character can be
found in the Hon. FL. S. Wilson.
Linoolni Wayne, Cabell Mason and
Putnam counties have virtually
agreed to place Mr.. Wilson's name
on the ticket next year at all haz-
ards. He is the available man, able,
liberal minded and not too old to
know our needs. 1t is no fun to
place man on the ticket for the
purpose of defeating some one else.
We must be united. Mr. Wilson
can do more to unite factions than
any man in Fourth District.-Put-
nam Democrat

The Democratic platform of
1900 must contain strong and
positive declaration against trusts.
The Democratic party has always
stood as champion of the cause
of the common people, In no way
can it better prove the sincerity of
it's claim than by opposing the gil
gantic combinations of money
formed to crush out competition in
trade and business. The time has
been when poor man had no show
against the wealthy man. The time
is when wealthy man has no show
against the aggregation of wealth
formed into trusts. The policy of
the Republican party breeds trusts.
The policy of the Democratic par
ty must be to destroy them.
