CHARIOTS AND CHARTS.
New York World, DEM


Mr.. Bryan grandiIoquently says that
this country should not "chain itself to
Europe's golden chariot"
Would it be better to tie ourselves to
Mexicos silver ox-cart?
Who are our customers? OF our ag-
ricultural exports. averaging $663 900 900
year for the last five years, SO per cent
was sold in Europe under the gold stand
ard. OF the remainder 7 per cent was
marketed in Canada and other North
American countries, also chained to the
golden chariot" South America took
only 7.72 per cent of the total; Asia, I.I6
per cent. and Mexico, an unappreciable
quantity.
If there is to be any hitching done,
isn't golden chariot" better than sill
yer ox-cart?

life work by becoming reporter on the
Lafayette. Ind, Daily Journal. In six
months he had acquired a small interest
and became managing editor. Owing to
failing health, caused by climate condi-
tons, MIR. White was obliged to seek a
less material climate and his belief that
West Virginia had great future before it

Journal, of Parkersburg, then weekly
paper, printed on an old-fashioned Wash
ington hand-press In JULY, 1888. he asso-
cated himself with S. b. Baker, and they
began the daily issue of the State Journal
and developed the property into one of the
largest and neutrality-suspicious. newspapers

rs 90, Mr.. White, after twenty-one year
work as newspaper man, stepped down
and out of the State Journal, with a re-
cord as an editor and political writer

him and which was crowned with sue
cess.

rial Association of the United States. hello
in Denver. in 1887 Mr.. White was elected
President and presided over the meeting
held in San Antonio, Texas,in 1888. This

as county, congressional, senatorial and
hnally on the State Committee, of which
he has been the efficient secretary fol-
quite number of years. Mr.. White IS
one of the prominent and convincing
campaign "stumpers" Of the State, having
spoken more or less in every campaign
since 1880. and making as high as sixty
speeches in one campaign. AS political
organizer and worker he has few equals.
On July Ist, 1880, his eminent services to
the party, as a worker and editor, were
recognized by President Harrison. who
appointed him Collector of Internal Rev.
enue for the District of West Virginia,
which position of high trust he filled with
such ability as to call forth the common
dation of the Washington officials, and he
retired from office with the best record OF
any Collector in the United States. when
the Democrats came into power in 1893.
Mr.. White has frequently been spoken
Of for Congress and other elective posi-
tons, but steadily refused to be candi-
date, and after thei election in 1896, in
which he took an active part in redeeming
West Virginia from Democratic rule, on
July Ist, 1897, he was again appointed by
President Mckinley Collector of Inter nal
Revenue for the District of West Virginia,
which position he now holds.
Mr.. White is one of the prominent &C
tive business men of the State and has
grown up with its interests for the last
nineteen years and has filled many posi-
tons of trust in private life with fidelity
and success. AS factor in the busine SIS
and political life of the State, he has been,
and is SO prominent, that large element
Of his party turn to him as the proper
man to head the Republican State ticket
for the office of Governor. If nominated
he will unquestonably be elected and will
make campaign such as few men are
capable of making, being forceful speak
er and thoroughly informed on political
issues IS well as being shrewd organizer.
Mr. White is the son of a Union soldier
and dlring his first term as Collector
one-haf of his appointees were veteran
Union soldiers and of the remainder a
greater part were sons of Union soldiers.
During his present term as Collector, Mr..
White has, though hampered by Civil Ser
vice regulations, secured the reinstatement
to employment of twelve Union veteran
soldiers and the appointment of several
more, and at a great personal expense APP
pealed three cases from Judge Jacksons
u. S. Court to the Supreme Court of the
United States and won for the three
Union soldiers, whose case he champion
ed, their right to employment in the SER
vice.
Mr.. White was married in 1879 to Miss
Agnes Ward of Marietta, Ohio, and has
a family of three girls and two boys. He
is a Mason and Knight Templar and he
and his family are Presbyterians,

Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney

troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,

The CERTAIN VOTE.

The Democratic party will do any old
thing TO win. Its forces now are made
up Of populists, disgruntled Republicans
anarchists, communists. calamity howlers.
fiat money dealers. and men who think
the country is simply on the verge OF ab-
solute and eternal destruction. They
hold meetings, abuse the President, call
each other bad names, and adjourn. All
kinds Of advice is given at these meetings.
Recently, when they met TO select the
next place to hold the Democratic Ma
tional Convention, Congressman John J.
Lentz, of Ohio, used the following Ian
guage:
"Cater to the German vote.
The German papers can be bought.
That's the plan, eh7 The sturdy, hon
est Germans of this country,many OF whom
fought to save this government in the
Cos, and who are today among our best,
most industrious and most patriotic clti-
zens, are to be pulled full of Organism
and demagogy, and led like lambs to the
slaughter' 1t is an insult to their intelli-
gence to intimate they can be bought and
controlled, by buying up their leading pa
pers. Every German with spark oil
manhood in his bosom will resent such
dirty politics. He has always been on
the side OF good government-solid on
the money question, solid on the tariff
question, solid on the question OF sustain
ing our institutions. In Iowa and Ohio,
where the Democratic party catered to
the German vote" in 1900, these German
citizens, now patriotic Americans, arose
in their might and smote Democracy hip
and thigh. They will do it again, too.
They will resent the attempt OF Mr.. Lentz
and his traitorops crew to rob them of
their manhood. Can the German citizen
be bought, think you, Mr.. Democrat3
Not much. The blood in his veins is too
blue and healthy. His ideas are too
steady and sterling. He will never be
duped by men who have no following but
the discontinued, restless, disturbing ele-
ment.
The German citizen is natural born
Republican. He will remain in that par
ty. He will not assist the party that
openly intimates that his vote and con-
science are for sale.

New York. Sept 19-Early events in the
New York cotton market nartook some
thing of the sensational, prices breaking
heavily under an avalanche OF general
selling orders, but the afternoon develop
ments turned the market and prices adj
vanced sharply. The local trade again
manifested little sympathy in efforts on
the part of foreign bulls to create fresh
speculative enthusiasm on the long side,
and in response to firm cables our market
moved I'D one to ten points on the call
The advance was followed by sharp
turn and a subsequent decline which car
ried prices off eighteen to twenty-siX
points from the opening. Liverpool was
extremely sensitive to the weakness here,
and not only made full response, but
soon led IN the downward movement. at
the same time supplying liberal selling
orders in the local market. On the down
turn room bears were aggressive di-
recting efforts chiefly to the undermining
of the winter months. The South and
West readily sided with the bears The
primary influences serving to stimulate
selling for both accounts consisted or
heavy receipts, good weather news, toler-
ably favorable crop reports, rumors that
Southern spot markets were being crush
ed by the heavy arrivals from the interior
and claims that exporters had secured
sufficient staple to tide over European
spinners until prices took a materially
lower level Shortly after midday the
temper of the market changed complete
", and prices worked steadily upward on
covering by early sellers and moderate
buying on the reaction theory, this de-
mand being based on estimates for small
receipts tomorrow. 1t was claimed furth-
ermore, that the crop was not doing as
we'll as generally reported. Speculation
became less active as the session prog
ressed and gradually narrowed to profess
sional operations. The market was fin
ally very steady with prices net three to
five points lower.
