FEW HEAR DAVIS.
A Small Crowd Listened To The Senator
At Poeahontas The Fourth.

Pocahontas, July 4,-Senator
jeff Davis addressed a crowd Of
about 200 persons here this after
noon. The Senator had been
widely advertised for tho past
two weeks as the chief attraction
of o celebration to be held here
on the third and fourth, and as
Randolph county has always
been a Davis stronghold the
small crowd was q great disap-
pointment, not only TO Davis,
but to his friends. Davis, In his
speech, insisted that there were
at least 1900 people on the
grounds and that this estimate
should appear in the newspapers,
but In reality there were probably
800 people on the ground and the
majority Of them preferred the
other attractions. Three per.
forming monkeys, which formed
one Of the counter attractions,
were surrounded by almost as
large o crowd as Senator Davis,
while the latter was speaking.
There would probably have been
larger crowd on tho grounds,
however, had tho weather not
been threatening, keeping many
country people at home, Few
residents Of poeahontas went to
the park to hear the speech.

THE GREED FOR GAIN.
The Lust For Gold Is Running The Nation,
Says Tennessee Senator.

"The lust for gold and hunger
for power have ridden rough
shod over liberty and love and
law, and hung their banners over
every capital and every mart.
The jingle of gold sounds even in
the laughter Of modern society,
and the eyes Of the church are
jaundiced with it. We are
now a nation of gold worshippers.
| fear that if the American people
were transplanted to the heaven
above, they would tear up the
golden streets in three hours, and
levy a tax on the harps of angels
for the benefit of American in
dustry.
"Can not our corporations find
some plan of cooperation with
labor without tramping under
foot the goose that laid the gold
en- egg? Can not our govern
ment give us sufficient volume OF
money to meet the ever increas-
ing volume of business under our
flag? Cannot it give a guarantee
to citizens that their deposits in
the banks will be secure? | ask
these questions here tonight be-
cause you are the money devils
and you will have to answer
them.
"Look at the clouds Of trouble
hanging over our great railway
systems. And why? Because
they have Disseminated against
one individual and one section
in favor Of another. Because
they are trying to control the
government. Let them discharge
their lobbies and burn their
newspapers, and they will never
be disturbed in the great services
which they can do and have done
for our country.
"I want to see us get back to
the governmental simplicity of
earlier times. | want to see the
three great fundamental depart
ments of government kept sepa-
rate. want to see the statues
retain their supremacy over their
own affairs without interference
OF the federal government. !
want to see the corporate power
behave itself and obey the laws,

ium. f.,
"You have got 10 come to the
South for conservatism and for
pure American blood to save tho
Republic. You gentlemen Of the
Brouse may have your jim-jams
over your rag time system of
banking, but we farmers down
South stand pat. The only
bulls we have down here are
jerseys, and all the bears we
have had have been exterminated
by the president. We have not
been clamoring for patronage or
special privilege, and as a result
we are poorer than the North,
but not for all the gold poured
into the troughs Of graft to grease
the snouts Of Office holders would
we exchange the purity Of the
South. Bob Taylor,

WANT HIGHER RATES.

Tie railroads want TO raise ifelght
rates on the plea that they cannot live
under the present ones. When we are
informed that freight rates are higher
now than they have been in 30 years,
so high that car load OF coal worth
$40 at the mine yields the railroad 500
in freight to haul il to stanton, do we
not know that this cry is fraud and
fake? Freight from Baltimore to
Staunton Of low grade is so cents per
hundred. We are not advised rs to
other freight of higher classification,
but we do know that experts have iig-
ured on these rates and thai every cent
freight will bear has been laid on. Now
when ii car carrying forty ions, al The
rate we pay on freight in this Office,
would yield the railroad company $500,
on one trip from Baltimore to 5taun-
ton, it does seem that freights are high
enough, indeed we may say confiscato-

FOR TAFT.

Our neighbor, the Stanton Dispatch
News, has not ceased its venimous
thrusts at Mr.. Bryan, although its
readers, save few lawyers and bank
ers in Staunton, must be largely for
him. It cannot see any more than the
Times-Dispatch and the News-Leader
that Mr.. Bryan is the only man in the
party who has any following. Our
Stanton contemporary has no candi-
date. 1t scatters after the blunderbuss
fashion its affections over Mr.. Johnson,
Mr.. Gray. Mr.. Harmon, and all the
other would bes, who are willing Bar
cusses, but who cut no ice, can draw
no crowds, and are used by Mr.. Bryan's
enemies just as one uses stick to hit
another fellow, so he hits the fellow he
don't care q what becomes of the
stick. Our anti-Bryan contemporary
calls on the TWO wings Of the party to
surrender their favorites and go in for
a man who can win. In the first place
there are no two wings. There. are a
lot Of boilers who do not amount to
even tail feathers, much less wings,
who are bowling bit, and If they
could be dignifed sufficiently to be
called "a wing" cannot tell who IS
their favorite ? No two of them think
alike on any subject, nor in regard to
any man. Who is the favOrite Of the
'Gold Bugn wing we make bold to ask?
We know who is the favorite of the
regulars, we know who they will be
satisfied with, and we know that they
will swallow no cold dumping Of the
Parker make. But we do not know
who is the favorite of the that other,
the ''tail feather wing, as no two of
them have ever given us the same ans
wer when asked. We do not know
who could be elected if Mr.. Bryan can
not, and on this subject we have sought
knowledge, but have never been en-
lightened. When we have asked we
have been given two or three names,
showing that our ''tail feather" wing
friends do not know themselves, and
do not believe the answers they make
to the question. Taftis their man and
they should lose no time in acknowl-
edging the truth and going in to whooI
him up. They have not voted the
Democratic ticket for years, they should
not think of doing so now.

BACKED BY THE PUBLIC.
THE REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS
AFRAID TO REMOVE DUTY ON
PAPER PULP.

THE REPU BLlCANS IN CONGREoo
AFRAID TO REMOVE DUTY ON
PAPER PULP.
A Washington dispatch of Tuesday
says: No more important proposition
is likely to come before the congress at
its present session than that involved
in the removal of the duty on wood
pulp to be used in the production OF
print paper. The likelihood is that a
caucus of the house Republicans may
be called on the subject with view to
determining it definitely.
The caucus will be called primarily
to discuss the currency bill, but the
real purpose will be to take up the mat
ter of the removal of the tariff on wood
pulp. 1t is a fact that the house ma
jority has gotten into tangle on the
financial measure. Enormous pressure
has been brought to bear upon congress
to make wood pulp free of duty. This
action, it is regarded, would be blow
at the paper trust, which practically
has the newspapers of the country by
the throat.
The situation has gotten down 10
"brass tacks." Speaker Cannon prac-
tically is committed to the support of a
free wood pulp measure, if it be brought
before the house, but he would prefer
that the question should not be pressed
at the present session of congress.
The proposition to remove the duty
on wood pulp now is before congress in
concrete form. 1t is backed by the
president of the United States and by
the people. The stand-patters in the
house are opposed to any legislation
looking to a discussion of the tariff
question, but it is a certainty that ii
the matter once is brought before the
Republican caucus decision will be
rendered in favor of action.
The free wood pulp bill would pass
the house without the suspicion OF OBJ
lection. 1t would have the solid Dem
ocratic vote and scores of Republican
votes. The apprehension, of course
was that when the measure reached the
senate multiplicity of amendments
would be offered to it, opening up the
whole tariff question. Within the las
day or two assurances have been re
ceived from the senate leaders OF botf
sides that they would consider such
measure coming from the house on it
merits, without any attempts to EN-
barrass the passage of the bill as
came from the house. Some debat
would take place in the senate, but tn
measure probably would go through.
The iniquity of the print paper com
bine is realized fully by the congress
and, if possible, it will be placed unde
the ban at this session.

WHERE EVERY PROSPECT
PLEASES.

Winchester went dry last week. The
Hon. Richard Byrd leaped into the
arena, we are told, and made prohibl-
ton speeches approaching as nearly to
those made by the late Sam Jones as
the circumstances would permit. Those
who witnessed the fight in Winchester
tell some funny stories about the zeal
of the speakers and the falling Of scales
from eyes. They say indeed the air
seemed full of falling scales at times.
Since the returns are in, they further
say that the atmosphere is SO pure and
beautiful that one who knew Winches-
ter of old, would scarcely know 1t now,
and that those who used to call it dry,
just ought to stop off and view it in its
present splendor. With no Sunday
papers, no Sunday trains, nor mails on
Sunday, and no liquor on any day in
week, it is indeed fit place for the
abode of kings, especially political
kings.
