. Cockran on Slaveholders.
Will you submit to this conspiracy
between the professional farmers,
the farmers who cultivate the quar
: rels of their neighbhrs, farmers who
labor with their jaws, Populist agi
tators of the West, and the unre
conciled slave-holders of the South ?
This is a conspiracy between pro
fessional farmers, who want to pay
low wages, and the unreconciled
slave-holders, who would like" to
pay no wages at all. - (Extract lrom
the speech of Bourke Cockran, de
livered in New York? August 18th.)
WHERE IS THE REMEDY?
When a person is sick and has
tried one doctor and one mode of
treatment for a long time and in
stead of getting better grows worse,
the probabilities are that, if a person
in possession of his senses, he would
call in another doctor and seek other
treatmentThis he would very likely
and very naturally consider his only
hope of recovery. Nations as welf
as individuals sometimes become
sick, suffer from ailments which re
quire treatment and for which they
must have treatment, or suffer the
consequences either of neglect or of
bad treatment. For twenty odd
years this country has been sick with
a complication of ailments a cor
roding tariff, a life-sapping financial
system, and several less aggravating
ailments, making a fearful complica
tion, but the worst of these was the
money trouble which" wasted its
strength and lessened the power to
resist the other ailments.
We have had for twenty-odd years
the same school of financial doctors,
who have run on the gold cure,
and have insistedVon that treatment,
although the patient has been con
stantly going from bad to worse,
and yet they haven't the sense to see,
or the candor to acknowledge, or the
honesty to try any other treatment
suggested. They began with their
gold cure and are determined to stick
to it if it kill, which it surely will do
if they be permitted to stick to It.
Money is to the business, enter
prise and commerce of a nation,
what blood is to the human body.
Unduly contract the volume of
money, and it is like tapping the
veins and permitting the life blood
to escape. If the veins be left open
long prostration from weakness fol
lows; If too long death ensues. This
country has experienced the prostra
tion, and -"if the draining be not
stopped the commercial and busi
ness death must come, as surely as
in the case of the bleeding man it
would come to him.
Up to 1873 this country had the
free and unlimited coinage of gold
and silver and the capacity to supply
itself with all the money it needed,
but before that, in 1868, the financial 1
doctors who are stuck on gold nos
trums came to the conclusion that it
had too much money, too much
blood, and they began the practice
of contracting, of bleeding, and the
trouble with the poor victim, who
was then in pretty good health, be
gan. They contracted the currency,
bled the victim, followed that up by
.declaring millions of Government
paper which was payable In "lawful
money," payable in coin, which was
practically a further contraction of
millions, more bleeding, and followed
that up with the demonetization of
silver, which was a further contrac
tionmore bleeding, and a destruc
tion of our silver money, which was
then as it is now the money, of the
people. This was virtually estab
lishing the gold standard, doubling
the purchasing power of gold,
depreciating the price of everything
else In proportion. Then thev coun
try which began to get sick when the
contracting of the currency began
got very sick and kept getting sicker
until some '. temporary relief : was
afforded by the passage of the Bland
Allison'silver coinage bill, which re
stored the money quality to silver.
Under that there was an increase
of the currency, and the gold quacks
who were never satisfied that their
methods had been departed from,
got a chance again, repealed the
Bland-Allison act, adopted a make
shift substitute, and as soon as they
saw that they could do it, destroyed
that and left the victim so shocked
that a collapse followed which was felt
throughout the system, from which
it is suffering yet. Bat the quacks
persist in the same old gold dosing
and become white with rage when it
is suggested that they return to the
qther treatment, whose beneficent
effects were made manifest even
when only partially applied in 1878,
after they had been wasting the
strength of the paitent by five years
of bleeding. ( All the silver advo
cates ask is that they stop the bleed
iag and the starving, and adopt the
financial treatment which had pre
vailed for eighty odd years, with
good results.
Under the free coinage of gold
and silver this country was always
vigorous and able to meet any emer
gency, and its financial ills
never began until the double
standard was attacked and
it was put upon the single gold
standard, which enabled speculators
to control the gold and hold the busi
ness of the country, its property and
its Treasury at their bidding and
mercy. The silver men say restore
the double standard, rehabilitate sil
ver, and then the country will have
the capacity to provide all the money
it needs, and the power of the money
cornerer and gold speculator will be
broken, the business man will take
heart again, industry will take on
new life and there will be no more
mortgaging the men of this genera
tion nor posterity for the enrichment
of syndicates who speculate on the
necessities of nations and grow fat
on the distress of mankind.
THAT GREENSBORO CONVEN
TION. The much advertised ' and much
talked of "sound money," so-called,
Democratic Convention, which has
been so active'y engineered by that
distinguished patriot, Mr. la Croix,
met at Greensboro, Wednesday, and
did the work assigned to it. In point
of numbers or the prominence of
those who took part in it, it was not
a dazzling success, but on the con
trary was a dismal failure, the "dele
gates," most of them self-constituted,
numbering twenty-four; ten of
whom were from Greensboro. This
would leave fourteen "delegates" to
be divided between the other ninety
five counties, which would be a frac
tion over a seventh of a delegate for
each county if they could be parti
tioned pro rata.
The meeting, however, while
dwarfish in proportions, is worthy of
note and in some respects signifi
cant, for there was a cat in the meal
tub which manifested its presence in
the course of the proceedings. The
resolutions favoring a national
ticket, and instructing the commit
tee to put up Presidential electors
went through without a jar, but
when it came to the resolution pledg
ing support to the State Democratic
ticket that was adopted only after "a
hot debate." The significant point
in this is that the men composing
that convention call themselves
Democrats, went there as Dem
ocrats, and yet it was only
after "a hot debate" that
they accepted the Democratic
State - ticket. The fact that
there was a debate on that subject
shows that there were some men
there, calling themselves Democrats,
who were opposed to supporting the
Democratic State ticket, and used
their influence and persuasive pow
ers to prevent a declaration in favor
of it, the intention, of course, being
to aid the Republican State ticket.
by the refusal to endorse the Demo
cratic State ticket, the only course
they could pursue without openly
proposing the endorsement of the
Republican State ticket, whichhey
had not the courage to do. They
did the only thing they, calling
themselves Democrats, dared to do,
that is they endeavored to give the
Republican State ticket the indirect,
covert aid they feared to boldly and
publicly pledge it.
Their programme didn't work, but
it worked sufficiently to show the
aims and animus'of the engineers of
this Greensboro Convention, who are
trying to humbug Democrats by
posing as "sound money" Demo
crats. We are moral lv satiefiori nf
the fact that some 'of them are in
sympathy with the Republican party,'
State and national, that they are go
ing about in Democratic disguise,
and that they are compensated for
their time and labor from Hanna's
campaign fund. :
Ex-Gov. Francis, of Missouri, Is
one of the gold men who was snowed
under in his State. He is receiving
his compensation now in the ap.
pointment as successor of Secretary
Hoke Smith.
I
MINOS MENTION.
Whea Mr. McKinley wrote bis
voluminous letter of acceptance, it
was not his intention to, but be did
it all the same,? furnish Mr. Bryan
and other Democratic speakers one
of the best campaign documents that
has been issued since the Conven
tion which nominated Mr. McKin
ley met. It bristles with points which
expose j the hypocrisy, subterfuge,
disregard, of truth, falsification of
current history and the rotten pre
tences ot the platform on which Mr.
McKinley stands, as the representa
tive of Hannaism. It is delivered, of
course, with all the unction of dis
interested patriotism and love of the
toiling millions ia which the gentie
man from Canton is somewhat of an
adept, and we do him the
justice to say that he has performed
this part of his perfunctory labor
very well. That was expected of
him and the public generally would
have been disappointed if he hadn't
performed his part in that role. He
is banking on that, and did the best
he could in practicing the jugglery
which has been' played so much
by him and men like him for the past
thirty years. Millions who have
been humbugged by it in the past
see through it now and they can't be
humbugged as they were when the
tricks were new. While it is doubt
less the best that Mr. McKinley,
even with the aid of Hanna, could
have done under the circumstancer.,
it is an exceedingly vulnerable docu
ment and will be nuts for Demo
cratic speakers.
When Wm. J. Bryan moved East
ward to be officially notified of his
nomination, his journey through the
States in which ,he travelled was
marked by enthusiastic greetings by
immense throngs of citizens at every
stopping place. This was especially
noteworthy in the States East of the
Mississippi river, and was a surprise
to the opponents of Mr. Bryan who
believed or professed to believe that
the silver sentiment had made little
if any progress in the States East of
the Mississippi. They accounted
for the large gatherings and the en
thusiasm, and tried to break their
significance as popular demonstra
tions by attributing them in a great
measure to mere curiosity to see and
heara manwho had risen so sud
denly to such distinguished
prominence and was heralded
as such a magnetic orator. But Mr.
Bryan is on his way Westward now,
and during his stay in the State of
New York, and at every point he
touches on his way Westward he is
greeted by throngs equally as large
as those which greeted him on his
Eastward journey, quite as enthusi
astic, and quite as anxious to hear
him speak as they were then. Will
the gold organs say that curiosity to
see the man figures in this? or should
they not candidly and honestly ad
mit that these gatherings, these
popular demonstrations of the masses
are proof that the cause which Mr.
Bryan so ably represents has taken
a deep bold on the millions of toilers,
not only in the so called silver States
of the West, but in the so called gold
States ot the East?
The Washington-correspondent of
the Philadelphia Ledger quotes Sena
tor Butler as saying that Tom Wat
son will not ,be notified of his
nomination. But judging from
Tom's remarks already and fre
quently made he seems to have found
it out. But the query arises, if Tom
be noc officially notified can he be
"officially" in the race. This may
seem' like a fishy inquiry, but it
isn t.

Having been able to save
something like $3,000,000 on a sal

The shipment of 500 tons of
Alabama iron to Liverpool and 300

successful competition with the
cheapest of "European cheap labor."

have dropped Mr. McKinley almost
entirely out of the race, if we judge
from what we read in tbem." To
which the Springfield Republican
grimly adds: "The trouble with
Yerkes is that he fails to recognize
how much more oppressive and
comprehensive a name Hanna is
than McKinley. That's what s the

The Ottoman Empire.
In the beginning of the thirteenth cen
tury the annual revenue of the Byzantine
empire amounted to 130,000,000. Yet
at that time not only was the eastern
empire greatly impoverished by the
ravages of the crusades, but the chief
part of Asia Minor, with its flourishing
cities, bad been wrested from her by the
arms of Islam. Today the revenue of the
Ottoman empire is less than 18.000,
000. The silence of desolation now
broods over vast regions which were once
thickly peopled, well cultivated, abound
ing in flourishing cities and rejoicing in
an advanced civilization. Territories
which formerly supported the capitals at
ancient kingdoms Fergamos, Sardis,
Cyzicus, Prueium, Troy, Nicomedia and
many more have been reduced under
Islam to cheerless solitudes, broken at
intervals by Kurds or wandering Turko
mans.
According to Ubicini, who spent 90
years in the civil administration of the
porte and wrote in defense of Turkey 40
years ago, the annual produce of corn in
Asia Minor was then estimated at 25,
000,000 Turkish kiles, which, he thinks,
might easily be increased tenfold "if the
great productiveness of the soil were
turned-to account" "The same re
mark," he adds, "applies to all other
productions which serve for local con
sumption or for exportation. " But In
stead of increasing during the last 40
years there has been an accelerated de
crease. The decay of every kind of man
ufacture baa kept pace with the deolise
of agriculture. Diarbekir and Broussa
once so famous for their velvets, satins
and silk stuffs, have been ruined. So
have Aleppo and Bagdad. Turkey
abounds also in mineral wealth. It pos
sesses copper mines which yield 80 per
cent of ore, while the best British mines
yield only about 10 per cent. And then
is coal in abundance within easy access.

In Iceland to cook food in the geysers
is a regular portion of the tourist pro
gramme. Tea is infused with water
from the Great geyser, and trout are
boiled in the Bleei, or hot water pond,
which suddenly ceased to erupt after
the Skaptar-Jokull convulsion of 1784.
They require to be immersed for about
20 minutes to be cooked to a turn.
In the Yellowstone a story is told of
a fisherman, who, having caught a fine
trout, merely turned on his heel, and,
without taking his captive off the line,
plunged it into a pool of hot water,
from which in a short time he drew it
ready for his meal, reminding us of
jLord Lovat, the Jacobite rebel, who,
iWhen luncheon time approached, betook
himself to a fall on his estate famous

Nothing Above the Table.
A popular and well known lady of
central Mississippi visited New Orleans
at the last Mardi Gras for the first
time. She was delighted with the city,
but was considerably shocked at the
"decolleteness" of some of the costumes
at the balls.
One day while here she was enter
tained at a fashionable dinner, and up
on her return to the house of the friend
whom she was visiting she was asked
to describe some of the costumes worn, j
"What did- Mrs. O. wear?" said her
friend.
"I didn't look under the table, but
she didn't have on anything above it"
