This is a conspiracy between pro fessional tarmers, 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.) ABSURD REASONING. In his letter of acceptance Mr McKinley, referring and in answer to the contention of the free silver men that the free coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1 would rriake the silver dollar the equal of the gold dollar, says suppose we admit this, how'would that benefit the mass of the people, for that kind of a dollar would rot be any "easier to get" than the dollar is now. In his speech at Carnegie Hall, New York, ex President Harrison said substan tially the same thing. Reduced to its essence, this means, if it means anything) that it doesn't make any difference whether there be much or little money in circulation, and that it is as "easy to get" money when the per capita "cir culation is $5 as when it is $50. Orator Cockran said the same thing when he was answering Mr. Bryan's speech. They all say It, for this is one of their stock absurdities which they pass off for argument. And yet these gentlemen are con tinually parading the large volume r ui money we nave in circulation, and give this as one of the evidences of our progressiveness and prosperity. There is not one of them who does not profess to be in favor of bimet allism and of the unlimited coinage of silver, if we" can' set an agreement between the leading commercial nations as to the ratio for coinage. Their reason for insisting upon an international understanding is to secure the permanent mainten-; ance of the value of the silver coins and to. prevent their depreciation, which they contend would be the result, if this Govern ment undertook the free coinage of silver independently. When they proclaim in favor of thef ree and un limited coinage of silver by interna tional agreement and in the same breath tell us that it after free coinage the stiver dollar retains its present value it will no-be "easier to get" than it is now, and therefore the masses of the people will not be benefitted by free coinage, do they not stultify themselves and expose the absurdity of their own reason ing ? If free coinage by interna tional agreement will not make money easier to get, why favor it? and WhV not ftav TOP Yl3VA onnMvli A u done with it? The only sensible rea son that can be given for an increase in the volume of money by whatever method that it may be done, is to make the dollars .more numerous that they may be the more easily gotten.1 But there are some things which these statesmen find it convenient to forget or to ignore when they are ut tering absurdities of this kind, and one of these is that the more mnnAw there is in circulation, the creator the disposition to investit in produc tive enterprises, to give it employ ment of some kind, not because the money is less valuable, but because being abundant there is less disposi tion to hoard it for speculation or by those who may think thev will h9w future use for it and . hoard because they fear they might not be able to get it when they wanted it. We will venture this .prediction isai nere. II Wra. T. Brran elected President of the United , ucni ot the VnitedV states and the free and unlimited coinage of silver become the estab lished policy of this Government, we will enter on an era of progress and prosperity such as this country nas not seen within a generation. Then there will be an end to the croaking and the pessimistic predictions we hear now, and the dollars that are in hiding' will come but for investment before the other -dollars are added to the volume to -make them "cheap," as it is called. They will not wait till the process of mint ing begins, but these dollars will come out and go into the building of railroads, opening mines, building factories and seeking employment in numerous ways to bring their own ers profit and add to the aggregate wealth of the country. This will mean not only a stimulus to business, but the enhancement of the value of property, and employment to the thousands and many thousands who now find it difficult to earn the money to buy food, clothing and shelter. ; The whole country would reap benefit from this, but no section more than the South, which, con sidering her great natural advanta ges, and unbounded resource?, has suffered more than any other section from the scarcity of money, for which she has in a great measure been dependent upon the North', whose syndicates, under the present monetary system, have a practical monopoly of the money of the coun try. Double the volume and the South would hum with activity, and in less than a decade would lead all the sections. MIHOa MENTION. The Washington Post, a gold standard paper, but one which dis cusses this question in a spirit of fairness, asks: "Where is the Fool Killer ?" that he does not attend to some of the gold standard organs which are publishing so much fool stuff, and thereby, as the .Av asserts, injuring their own cause. It quotes the following from the New York Advertiser: If Bryan should be elected and the present silver dollar should cease to be protected by the Government and the gold reserve fund, who would be the losers when the country began business on a sil ver basis and the millions of sil ver dollars now in circulation were found to be worth only their bullion value and not their face value 53 cents instead. of 100 cents? The farmers and the worlangmen ! The silver dollars already coined would not be found in the hands of the capitalists and bankers, but in the cus tody of men and women who have hoarded up small sums, who . are part owners of property, insurance policy holders and small tradespeople. No one pretends that the outstanding silver dol lars would be redeemed. They would instantly become worth 53 cents only. Tne loss, therefore, would fall directly upon the very people whom the free sil ver advocates pretend that free coinage will help. No dream of the hasheesh smoker is more fantastic or unreal than the dream of the free silver advocates. Upon this it comments thus: We sh'ould like to know when and where, for how lonsr and to what extent the silver dollar has been protected by the gold reserve fond. . Upon what occasion has the Treasury paid oat geld in exchange for silver dollars, and where is the law requiring the Treasury to do sc? The silver dollar passes current be cause it is a legal tender for public and private debts and for no other reason Oar oaoer monev msserl thecam way thirty years ago, when there was nothing -in the Treasurv tn re. deem it, and, strange to aav. between 186S and 1878 the countrv eniovrri a period of unparalleled prosperity. But there was no gold to redeem that ca per. Specie payment was not resumed until 1879. There is and ha heen nn question of redeeming silver rfnilar. in Igold. Even if there were such a pre tence it .would be the shallowest of farces. The Treasury couldn't pay in gold 20 cents on the dollar if the silver and the silver certificates were presented io- morrow lor redemption. The Treas ury has been redeeming "com" nnte in gold, atid has bad Within three vara tn borrow $262,000,000 to maintain the pro cess, but to talk about the silver dollar being redeemable in gold is nonsense. This is a plain statement of fact which exposes the rottenness of the pretence that the value of the silver dollar is maintained by the alleged pledge to keep it at a parity with gold. But if the fool-killer started out with his club the gold standard would be left with very few organs and. very few orators, and snm with quite distinguished names would be suddenly removed. If the reception given to Wm. T. Bryan at Cleveland, Ohio, be any thing ot an index to public senti ment in that State we can very well understand why Mark Hanna told the Boston millionaires that "the East was too confident," and that it was "too early to predict as to Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois." We know the fact that the free silver senti ment is very strong and very ag gressive In Ohio, especially in the rural districts, but Cleveland is a manufacturing city, the home ot Mr. Hanna. hn has Kn w 1SVV'U managing ; Mr. McKinley and his campaign, and hence this en. thuslastlc greeting to Mr. Bryan by the thousands of people who packed the streets of ' that city is particularly significant, and doubt less came in the way of an "object lesson" which Mr. Hanna and his lieutenants will not fail to study. Mr. Bryan made two speeches the evening of his reception, in two dif ferent halls, neither being large enough to accommodate the people who wanted to hear bim, and wbile neither of these speeches iwas marked by flights of Captivating elo quence they were received with an enthusiasm kindred to that which carried away the Chicago conven tion when Mr. Bryan delivered his remarkable speech there. Occurrina mr State, and in Mr.; Hanna's city, this popular demon-J stratton was a glorious triumph for Mr. Bryan and the cause lie repre sent.6. One of the significant features of the political movement this year is the organization of Republican free silver clubs pledged to support Bryan and Sewall. In New York, Pennsylvania and adjoining States thousands of Republicans have joined the Bryan and Sewall clubs, but in some of the central Western States the free silver sentiment is so pronounced among the Republicans that they are organizing clubs of their own on that issue and pledging themselves to work for the election of Bryan and Sewall. At Terre Haute,Indiana, a few days ago, one of these clubs was formed and after the meeting, which was addressed by several Republicans of local promi nence, including a colored man who is the Republican nominee for the Legislature, 183 men signed the roll, every one of whom had been voting the Republican ticket. This is one ot the factors in the present contest which perplexes, the Republican ma chine managers and fills them with consternation. Heretofore they could figure with some degree of certainty on the outlook, but the free silver sentiment pervades the Republican ranks so deeply now that they are at sea and don't know where to begin to do the figuring. It has been re marked that this is going to be an election of surprises, and the devel opments of every day make this more apparent. The Winston Sentinel is responsi ble for the statement that a Salem lady says there is "a young couple in the Twin city who do their court ing in the Salem graveyard, and may be seen there six nights in a week." This does not necessarily imply that this Salem lady has a good deal of spare time if not curiosity, but it may imply that these young people have a due appreciation of the solemnity of the business in which they are engaged and the grave re sults that may come from it. The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger, gold paper, quotes Lawrence Gardiner, Secretary ot the league of Democratic Clubs, as saying that Senator Tillman in his two weeks' tour in Pennsylvania made thousands of free silver con verts, and that the Democrats will carry from eleven to sixteen Congres sional districts in that State this year. CURRENT COMMENT. About the most prominent teature of the McKinley camgaign is the unanimity of the dollars. Dollars, however, are not votes. JVew York Journal, Mem. The solicitude manifested for the welfare .of the workingman by tne riannas, ickleheimers, Morgans, ana otner pnuantnropists is very touching, inese people get up in tne nignt to study up methods to benefit the workingman. Knoxville Tribune, Dem. "The farmers of the West," says tne rmiadelphia Times, "mar ket the great bulk ot their products in the Middle and Eastern States. and they will not be foolish enough to engage in an industrial war with their natural allies." It is then a question ot "natural allies" with the Western farmers, is it? That does not promise well for the protected manufacturers ticket. Charleston Jvews and Courier, Dem. A railway system in Tennes see mat ij attempting, by circulars, to make its employes vote for Mc Kinley, is owned in Holland. A Maryland system, similarly em ployed, is owned in England. The Nashville Sun says: "These foreign wire puiiers nave not more blood in their veins than they have mercy or the milk of kindness in their hearts. They water and gouge, then water again and gouge again, and on top of it issue new bonds." They also expect the American people to be bought like sheep. Augusta Chron icle, Dem. - TWINKLINGS.

"SmifsPENTINE, L,tncolnton Democrat: Lincoln county has a numoer of undeveloped gold mines. At the mine of Maj. Burton, only, three and a half miles from town, 1,800 dwts. of nuggets of gold have been found in the last year or two. One of the nuggets weighed 3oO dwts. This mine is on a line with the King's Mountain property, extending from southwest to nortbeast. , ' ' Concord Standard: Rev. Paul Barringer as in the city and told a standard reporter that the gold min ing business in No. 6 , is running on a very large scale. At the Cant. John C. Watts' place several shafts nave been sunk, and the ore is pan ning out surprisingly. Several big finds have been reported, and the ore is unusually rich. One engine and hoister had been placed at this mine and two more will be put in as soon as tne machinery arrives. uiner mines in mat townsnip are being operated with successful and encouraging results. Rich finds continue at the Ritchie Bros, mine, and tne craving for gold is little less than a fever, Salisbury World: Lloyd Swice- good, of this city, has bad an experi ence with lamp bugs that is out of the ordinary. One night about a month ago he was lying down read ing when a bug, such as are usually found flying around a light in warm weather, flew into his ear. He could not find the bug in his ear and be applied to physicians and they could not see It. Since that time he has been sorely afflicted with headaches and finally his hear ing became defective. Saturday night ne applied to Dr. J . S. .Brown for treatment and insisted that a thorough examination should be made. A minute investigation proved mat tne Dug was in tne ear, but so far back that it would be impossible tor tne naked eye to discover it. With the aid of instruments the bug was removed and Mt.

M ."V . .1 .. . - -occasionally," - eaia a man, "one hears a guard on the elevated road call the next station back instead of the one ahead. Coming down on the Sixth ave nue road, for instance, he might, on leaving Grand street, look in and say. 'The next station is Bleecker street,' when he meant Franklin. Still, this is raroiy aone, not nearly so oiten as one might think it would be, by men call ing the stations over and over again all day long, Io be sure it might seem that the names would be by frequent repeti tion so deeply graven on tneir memory that there would be the less danger of calling them wrong, but what I sup pose happens is this that sometimes the mind unconsciously switches over, and the guard calls from the up list in stead or the down, or vice versa. "Sometimes when a guard miscalls a station he lets it go perhaps he doesn't think of it himself. Sometimes he cor rects in a mild tone of voice, as though the least said about it the better. Some times he sets it straight clearly and un mistakably. I rode up town the other day on a Sixth avenue Harlem with a guard who, as the train left Po?- ty-second street, looked in and said, Jfiltieth next, Fifty-eighth street train, change there for Harlem. ' But the next minute he looked in again and said. with equal if not greater distinction and deliberation, 'Fiftieth next, Harlem train, change there for Fifty-eighth street.' Here was a case that was a little different: A newsman who got off a Sixth avenue train with a bundle pf pa pers at D'lfty-tliird street handed a pa per to the guard and asked him to give it to tne ticket chopper at One Hundred an( Thirty-fifth street. The guard look ed into the car as the train started and said, 'Hundred and Thirty-fifth streeji next, Dut tnis was so far pff that it really needed no correction, and very reasonaoiy tne guard let it go at that, out ne smiled aa ne closed the door.
