yided by law.

about the money question. They ac-
cuse me. through their ignorance. Of
being inconsistent. The United States
we're using both gold and silver and
had been from time immemorial, when
some schemers demonetized silver.
There was not gold enough for use as
money. Hard times came and lasted
for twenty years. Then the gold mines
became productive so that the gold
supplied the place of both metals.
There have been fourteen or fifteen
hundred millions Of new gold added to
the stock we had on hand In the last
six years.
So we have good times. Some of
our friends. however. say that 1t is on
account of the gold standard; that there
is something in the mat rial gold
which makes 1t money. 1t is a law of
legal tender. not the kind Of material
from which It is made. Gold is no
more money than beef. or pork, or
flour, or any other commodity. 1t Is
the stamp Of the Government which is
the law that makes 1t money, and If
we have enough good legal tender
money 1t does not make any difference
Of what material we make it.
Now, Aristotle explained that
MONEY IS THE CREATION OF LAW
200 years ago. Nobody has
ever been able to confute what he said.
Tho world thought for a long time that
silver was money. without regard to
law, but when they took the stamp Of
legal tender off II wa only silver. The
world then found it silver metal, not
money. The legal-tender power Of the
government Is all that makes money,
whether It is printed on gold, silver, or
paper.
Thus the Supreme Court Of the
United States decided that the law Of
Congress makes money. Thus the
highest courts Of Great Britain have
decided. Thus every intelligent mar
ought to know.
THIS BILL IS BENEFTcIAN TO THE MINERS
1t will make a large market for
silver. You want a larger market for
silver just the same as you want a
larger market for lead. The lead
miner wants a larger market for lead.
We want a larger market for silver
whether we use it or not, because
many Of our people are engaged in
mining silver. In mining copper, lead
and almost all metals it is a ~by-product,
and you must mine silver if you mine
other metals.
To have this rise in the price OF
silver is very important to my State.
This bill will help my people consider
ably because it will make an additional
market for silver and raise the price to
those engaged in that business. The

Good West Virginia Year.

for West Virginia, speaking espe-
cially of the crops. In industrial
lines, of course, the State has forg-

vancement. But it is especially
gratifying that the farmers have
had good yield. The West Vir.

auce. 1t is not due to any polit.

Gen. Lees Rindness of Heart.


A kinsman of mine, who fought
on the losing side in the late war.
gave me these pleasant anecdotes
of Robert e. Lee. says mum in
the st. Louis Post Dispatch:

iment which took part in the West
Virginia campaign of Lee in 1861.
One day my colonel invited me to
accompany him to headquarters.
which 1 was very glad to do. hop

lily in Richmond, whom the general

We found him sitting at the door
of his tent, which was pitched at
the top of a rather steep hill. He
gave us a cordial welcome and to
me the home news / desired. While
the conversation was in progress
an orderly came galloping up the
hill. and disnounting. handed the
general a dispatch. He held it in
his hand without breaking the seal,
and said to the soldier: "You have
ridden your horse hard and he is
very much distressed; unbuckle
the girths and let him breathe
Another and more striking illus
tration of this tenderness of heart
in the great commander occurred
at Petersburg during the closing
weeks of the seige. General Lees
headquarters was in private house
beyond the reach, it was thought,
of the Federal artillery. One
morning he was standing, with
several members of his staff, under
a large tree, when heavy shell
landed not far distant. Gentle
men," he said, "the enemy have
evidently got in range. and We had
better retire." OF course, nobody
would retire until the chief set the
example. The next moment an
other shell crashed through the
top of the tree above their heads,
and all followed his advioe-exoept
himself. He stopped-and for
what. do you supposea The shells
had knocked down a nest full of
young birds. and when the retreat
ing officers looked back they saw
General Lee pick up the nest and
place it carefully on one of the
lower branches of the tree.-Inter-

Isather Badly Frightened.

IL there is anything more ludi-
crous than barrel Of monkeys it
is the contrast afforded by the Re-
publican press of the State in its
efforts to make the voters of the
party believe that everything is all
right in West Virginia, and the
frantic efforts of the State Execu-
tive Committee to save something
from the impending wreck. We
are told by the papers that all five
Congressional districts will return
Republican congressman, and that
the voters are enthusiastically raj
lying about the party candidates.
On the other hand the committee,
with a clear appreciation of the
true situation, is working tooth and
toe nail. sending the speakers from
other States into the various coun-
ties, with explicit instructions to
the voters to stand firmly BY the
party. to warn them against the
danger of apathy, and to point out
with great detail the general pros
perity of the country, with the as
surance that the Republican party
deserves all the credit. But this
cry of distress falls upon few ears,
because the Republican meetings
up to date have been very slimly
attended, and the interest shown
has been very moderate indeed.
The fact of the matter is, the
Republicans in West Virginia are
fighting for their political lives.
The leaders of the party recognize
that they are up against what is
popularity known as a tough pro-
position" with the chances against
them in every Congressional dis
trict. They have disappointed the
people and have been quarreling
among themselves. The party is q
house divided. and that means dis

gered down under a weight of box

took survey of the shelves, but
two patterns remained unopened.

at was stricken down with apoplexy
point mile and half out of Sioux
Falls, S D, while the train was run
ming at high rate of speed, but
courageously clung to the throttle
of his engine until the train pulled
into the station at Sioux Falls.
The fireman, seeing that the en-
gineer was in critical condition,
had asked permission to take his
place at the throttle, but the latter
refused to permit him to do SO. de-
spite the fact that he was SO dazed
and weak that he could scarcely
retain his seat in the cab.
On the arrival of the train at the
station in Sioux Falls the pluoky
engineer lost consciousness. He
was tenderly taken from his post
of duty and removed to the City
Hospital. but never regained CON-
sciousness, dying in few hours.
Fox was an old and valued en-.
ploye of the Rock Island Road.
and was a man noted for his cour-
age and his devotion to duty. His
home was at EstherVille, Ohio.

First Voters should study the
Political Conditions That Con-
front Them.


The young men who will cast
their first vote this year should
carefully consider the political CON-
ditions that confront them at the
present time and moi allow them
selves to be led blindly into acting
with one party rather than the 9TH
or Perhaps at no period in the
industrial history of the country
has it been SO difficult for a young
man without capital or influential
friends to make place for himself
as worker as it is in these open
ing years of the new century.
The underlying causes that have
brought about these untoward CON-
ditions are easy to understand.
Chief among them are the enor-
nous combinations of capital which
under vicious system of legisla-
tion have enormously restricted
competition and to that extent mar
rowed the field of employment.
The day of the small factory and
store is fast disappearing and with
it the numerous opportunities
which formerly existed of begin
ming life in a moderate way and
gradually winning a position of
comfort and independence. A small
olerkship is almost all that the av-
erage young man need hope to OBJ
tain, and the compensation attach
ed to it is very little more than
Sufficient for his support. With
him marriage is nearly out of the
question. So far as the family is
oonoerned, every member of it in
the large cities has to labor at
something in order to meet current
expenditures.
The fact is undeniable that this
social and economic revolution has
been brought about by the legisla-
tion of the Republican party in
favor of special interests, which are
smassing fabulous fortunes at the
expense of the masses of the peo.
pie. Manufactures are unduly fos-
tered and protected to the detri-
ment of agriculture, which has
been saved from disaster in recent
years only because of wondrously
prosperous seasons at home and
correspondingly bad ones in other
quarters of the globe. Very little
change for the better can take
place so long as these unjust gov
ernmental conditions are permitted
to exist. The party responsible
for them must be retired and the
laws so altered that the majority
will uot be at the mercy of the mi
nority. Young men should study
out these problems for themselves,
do their own thinking and not al
low themselves to be rushed into
inoonsiderate political action.
