ricnty cf " IMlliy Lucre," Cut It Is
Not Circulating Freely.
The doctors tell as that paralysis ii
the lota of lbs function of motion from
an interruption of ncrvons iuflaenoe.
Trade, commerce and industrial pur
suit! biro uervo", too, bnt tbey seem
to be paralysed. The spiaal marrow
is diceascd i.nd mnacular power has be
come stngoant. b lias caused tots
uunataral cnndilion we know nt with
any certainty, for the political doctors
diMfjreo, but it is believed by man
that it is owing to the lack of circula
tion of tho blood that is of money,
and that tlio demonetization of silver
is at the bottom of it. Whitever it I,
the patient is in a bad fix. Tbo other
day I rode out with a ludy friend in
tho tnburbs of Atlanta to lock at tome
of the cottage homes. Bhe wanted to
buy home for herself, and wo spent
parts of three days in examining and
pricing properties. There were hun
dreds of them and they were cheap
euotigli, bill what struck mo was that
a buililinft and loan company had more
for f a!o tlian anybody. Tbis eompaoy
lir.il leaned money four and five years
ago to improve suburban lots. They
loaned dot exceeding one-half the
value of the vacant lot and have bad
to foreclose their mortgages because
I he borrower conld no longer pay
tbo interest, and so they bid in
the property and bave held it,
hoping to get their money back,
but tbey can't and are now seeking
buyers at less than the property cost
them, and in some cases less than the
original loan. A lot that four or five
years sgo was worth $1,000 and has
on it a bouse that cost $600 or $800 is
t flered for $1,200, and perhaps $1,000
would buy it The company can stand
it, but what has become of the poor fol
low and his family, I know not. Tbey
had hepea and were looking forward
to the time when their humble home
would bo paid for, but this paralisys
cvertook them and swept their home
and their hopes away. The Merchants'
bank has long been regarded as one of
the solid, conservative institutiona of
Atlanta, but it advanced money on
real estate and conld not realize. Tbis
is the condition nil over the country.
Trade is pira'.yzod, especially in real
estate. ; Financiers tell ns tbat there
iaas mucb.money ia the country as
there tver was but it does hot move.
The stagnation not only continues.but
it gets worse. Threo years ago a man
f ffered $1,500 for an eligible town lot
in Cartersvillo. A year Inter he bonght
it for $800. and now he oouul not got
$500 for it ii he wisuca t eo;i. is it

Bat the long agony is nearly over
and we shall see what we shall see.
The peoplo are ready for the ballot
and the ballot will settle the nation's
will. . It is the masses against the
classes the same old story, "And
David fled from Snul to ibe cause of
Adnllum and all who were discontent
cd or in debt or distress joined him
there." lhat was aaorry lot to fight
a king, but in conrse of time they were
victorious.
But I don't believe that capital ia as
much alarmed aj it was a month ago.
The banks bave hedged and are-pre
fared for the change if any come?.
Certain it is there will be no collapse
if Bryan is elected and there will be
no relief if McKinley is. This govern
ment can't be ruined by a change of
rulers. The civil war cleaned up
the touth pretty well, but in
ten yiars it had rallied and in
fifteen years hardly a trace of (he
war could be fouud. Then let ns not
be alarmed at the situation. If Mc
Kinley ia elected and a Republican
congress, and something is not done to
relieve the people they will be ip.no-
mmiouS'y Luried irom power loui
years hence. Distress and disoontent
are growing thing. While capital is
all the time concentrating to
the few, debt and dicointrnt
U spreading to the many. Capital
will not tnrn a wheel as long aa it cau
be loaned on mortgages at a good per
cent. A few months ago f ome of our
public spirited cit'Eens determined to
baud a cotton mill tbat would eive em
ployment to the cnilclren ol tlie poor.
The stock was oil absented, but bo
fore any contraota were made the timea
sot harder and money more valuable,
and so one by one the stockholders
dropped out and the mill died in child
birih.
But why worry about there things
i'here is no good sense in brooding
over trouble. I had rather read a good
book or plant out atrawberries or pley
" with a grandchild tban total! politics.
I was in Atlanta yesterday an.: was in
troduoed by a mntual friend to a mem
ber of the legislature. He got the idea
that I was an office seeker and asked
mewhatlwas tanning for. "Nothing,

relieved and said I was a curiosity and
asked iie for my picture.
I will say this and can prove It.

TEXAS SINKS' IN HER DOCK.
A Remarkable Accident Happens to the
Cnlted State! Ilattlethlp.
The United States aecond-class battleship
Texas sank at the Cob dock in the Brooklyn
Navy Yard at 8 a. m., a few days ago. Bhe
lies in twenty-five feot ot water, and there
are nine feet of water In her lower compart
ments aft and four and a halt feet forward,
and it constantly rises.
Six tugs and three divers were at once set
io work to raise tha ship. The damage
cannot be ascertained, but as the engines are
well under water, the money damage will
probably bo great.
The cause of the slnkingot the ship is sup
posed to have been due to the blowing out of
the main injection valve or seaoook at the
bottom of the keel.
The shin arrived ten days before from
Hampton Boa ts for repairs. While In the
Roads she scraped herbottom. She was to

something was wrong. He watched th'i
Texas for awhile and oonoludel she was
settlinc. Then he gave the alarm. Tho
engineers said nt onoo that the boat
was sinking. Tbe sea invaded the
lower deck despite the pumps and the
eugines were nearly half submerged all
mornin?. She settled on her starboard side
In the mud at the bottom of the dock. Her
slant is not noticeable to tho ordinary ob
server, but to the nautical eye she heels as if
she nd "a eone in ner teem running oo-
fore the wind.
The efforts of the divers were confined to
stopping tbe inflow of the sea through tin
hole where tho sea-eook was located. It was
said at the yard thnt the aooident could not
have been foreseen and that nobody was ra
iponsible for It.

only two feet of water under her when tho
ecldent happened. The only damage to the

Last Saturday National Chairman Butler,
of tbo People's pirty, gave out the following!
"To tho people of tho Uulted Statesi
"In the remarkable campaign Ju-clojed,
the People's party was the only party lbat
sunnorted solidly and unitedly the gtent is
sues represented in the candidacy cf Mr. Bry
an. This was tiaturnl, for the People s party
eama Int i existence to bring to tbe front and

use of patronago uud otherwise, erush out tho
silver sentiment in the South, nnd make the
leaders la that party asoompletelysuosonuTw
as those In tho Ue publican party. To ueeoui.
p l h this purpose, four cabinet ministers
were selected from the South and an unus
ually large amount of patronage used to that
political end. it wwuo rommiuMou u
Cleveland demanded that Eomocratlo Sena
tors and Congressmen give a decisive vote in
tbe interests of tbe gold standard before he
would even give out postolllces.
"This deep-laid plan migni oe,ye iu' wti.
had not tho People s party, at this Juncture,
sprung Into existence, exposed the plot,
stood iu the ureaen ana appeuiea iu mo y
triotio hosts of both parties to obeok the
scheme of tho people's despoilers nnd rally
to the common deience. Thus the People s
party forced the Demoornlio organization to
repudiate Clevelundism and return to the
correct fundamental principles. Not only
this, the People's party then foroed the Re
publican party to cease hedging and strad
dling for the purpose of deceiving the peo
dle, and drove thorn to take a staud on one
side or tbo other of the vital issues ai stake.
The issue nowbelugequarelyJolned.lt was
evident that those influences In the Demo
cratic party, which had dominated and de
bauched the party for a quarter of a century,
would be driven to the i uppotl of the party
that took a position on the side of trusts, mo
nopolies ond money pnmblers. While, on
the other hand, it is evident tbnieven a larg.
er per cent, of tbe Bepubllcan party favored
tha principles now squarely forced to the
front, yet only a small per cent, would in
this campaign support them because they
fouud tbem uuder the Democratie banner.
Had it not been for the protestation against
the Democratic name, as well as a want of
confidence in Democratic promises, forwhiou
It must be frankly admitted, past experience
furnishes a gronud, a majority of the voters
ot tho country, In spite of tho tremendious
and unparalleled forces put forward by the
Bepublionu managers, would have cast their
vote for financial reform and American inde
pendence. 'Ihe people's parly, with a high
patriotism and an unselllsb devotion to
principle, greater than ever before exhibited
hv nnv nartv. stetioed outside of its organisa
tion to throw Its two million votes solidly for
Mr. Bryan. Had not more than this numbor
of those who called themstlves Demoorats in
1S92 given their support to McKinley, the
mute of the neorile and American pnnolplee
would have triumphed this year. - This class
of Democrats will surely support the party
of monnoolies and trusts iu future. Their
t.laoea In the ranks of tho reform hosts must
be taken by patriotic Itopubllenns. In fact
Brvnn would Lave been elocted in this .ion
test bad even 25,000 more silver Republicans
come to tbe rescue.
The election of McKinley and the trlnmph
of the gold standard does not express the de
sires and sentiments oi tue American people.
The majority oppose the policy for which he
stands and will so vote whenever an oppor
tunity is present! d for proper alignment.
The remarkable and brilliant campaign of
Wm. J. Bryan would have aligned these
forces and matched them to a triumphant
victory if any candidate or leader I J America
could have so done under tbe Demooratio
banner.
"The administration of McKinley cannot
bring prosperity to the American peoplo. The
mills cannot be kept open, idle labor giving
employment nnd general prosperity restored
and maintained until the wealtu producers re
ceive fair returns for their labor and thus are
enabled to purchase. The gold standard ond
monopoly rnje, to a continuation of which
McKiuiey stands pledged, means four more
years of lockouts and strikes, four more
years of reduoed wages and idle labor. This
will cause tbe pntriotlo rank and file of tbe
Republican party to coiSdemn and repudiate
MeKinlovism as the patriotic rank and tile of
the Democratie pnrty has condemned and re
pudiated Clevelaudism. I cannot believe
otherwise, for I have not less confidence ia
tbe patriotism of this class of Republicans
tbsn the rank and (lie of the Democratic party
bos already demonstrated. Tboroforea large
per cent who, though not fooled by the
specious pleas of "honest money" and
firomtfed prosperity, jttwho would not in
his campaign fight under the Democratlo
banner will surely Join bands with tbe ma
jority of tbe American voters outside of the
gold parties to overthrow a government of
trusts and monopolies run In the interest of
foreign capitalists. The People's party has
made this possible; in faot inevitable. The
position ol tbe people's part io tbis great con
test has convinced every patriotic American
tbat the parny can be trusted to stand for the
principles of good government aad the inter
ests of the people under any acd all circum
stances. Therefore, the People's party will
be tbe nucleus sreund which the patriotic
hosts must and will gather to redeem a be
trayed republlo and to restore prosperity to
a j oppressed and outraged people.

in price more on aeconnt of the prosperout
trade expected all over Europe this wintet
than on toeount of short crop. Good au
thorities here eay that with a .op of 8,000..
000 or 10,000,000 bales cottoa will go to H
cents. It should not be forgotten, however,
that New York is excited over the result el

SAVED" HEftBlSSUEEyE,
A Lndy'a Narrow Kecape from Being
l atally llittcu by a copperhead.
Bnlloon sleeves, ribbed wltb stnys oC
whalebone, saved a young lady at West
Point a few days ago from being fatally
bitten by a copperhead snake. The
j-ouus lady, Miss Florence Pears, of
New York, visited West Point with a
number of friends and while leadlua
tho party on the mountain elde over
looking tho training ground of the
youns soldiers sho stooped to pick n
bunch of wild flowers. As sho was
about grasping the flowers she heard
a startling, h!6slng sound. Not realiz
ing what tho danger was she f.rew up
her right arm to ward off some uuseou
peril. Iu a moment a copperhead snake

struck at her from beneath a loose rocH
lust abovo whero sho was standing.
Miss Sears saw the reptilo as It struck
at her. It was too late to jump back
and the arm that she had thrown up
ward caught the blow. It saved hei
face from injury, and the balloon
sleeves of her waist almost baffled the
snake. But the strike of the poisonous
reptile was a rigorous one. The shnrr
teeth and fangs tore through the light
cloth and hooked In the whalebone:
stays. . As the reptile's weight drag
ged It down, It tore the sleevo and the
fangs scratched along the skin from
shoulder to elbow. The Incisions, how
ever, were not deep, nod tho deadly
poison, It Is believed, did not enter the
victim's veins.
At Miss Sears' feet was a large stone.
She was still bending over when thf
snake struck her. She picked up the
stone and crushed the snake's head be
fore It could gather Itself for anothet
strike. When she had bravely don?
this without uttering a scream, het
courage vanished. She gave ono cry
and fell fainting across the dead snake.
