tl, 1'. Th announcement tbat Tn
America will ujiort McKlnley and
the sound money cause gives n f real
pleasure.
At to M ajorMcKloley, I bT known
tilm since lv, when I bad some busi
ness with htm ta relation to the con
tested election rase of Tfcobe against
Carlisle. Ho baa always appeared to
me to be the unit gentle and the firm
est man I wr met. Tbe mailtn Sunt
Urinvodo,ftirtiterinTt, never bad a
better exemplar. He impressed me a
a profound tbJnkcr, a s'neere counci
lor, a learned statesman, and a modest
klndhearted gentleman. He Is, above
all, a thorough American, a thorough
Protectant, an unfaltering patriot
As to the financial question, let me
aay that the people of the West have,
like tbe people of the South, been mil
led by designing men. This question
baa been forced to the front largely
through the effort of uch men a
Archbishop Wa'sh, of Dublin, whoes
book on bimetallism and monome
tallism baa been ard still U the hand
book of I Democratic workers. At a
aoutbern man, I would like to lay to
your reader that the people of my
aectlon are beginning to understand
the to-called allver quettlon better
than they once did. They have learn
ed that money It only a species of pro
perty, and tbat lta value In the
market cannot be Increased or dimln
lthed by a legislative fiat Tbat It it
the parity of dolUin, and not the parity
of mttals, which Is In question. That
we, at citizen, have no more Interest
in preserving tbe parity of gold and
allver at a fixed ratio than we have In
preserving tbe parity between chickens
and water-melon. , But tbat It Is of
the utmost Importance tbat we should
keep every dollar equal to every other
dollar, both In the markets and In the
payment of debt. A an Illustration
of the view entertained by many
Southern men I tubjoln an extract
from a paper published In Winston, N.
C, the town of my own residence. In
speaking of "treasury note and
liver," that paper tayi:
"Some newapaper In thl state are
teaching very dangerou doctrine,
which ought to be com bat tod for the
sake of the people. They have con
fused the publlo mind on nearly every
point of political economy. Unable to
generalise correctly, they have ac
cepted a scientific principle tbe hap
hazard conclusions of men like John
Law. From the fact tbat the treasury
notes Issued by a government In the
grip of a military necessity were after
ward brought to par with gold, they
argue tbat treaiury note are as good
money a any, forgetting that similar
note issued by another government
which once bold sway In this state be
came absolutely worthiest, and hence
leaving out of their calculations tbe
element of risk. We know a gentle
man of Madison who ha nearly 1250,000
of confederate money, much of which
he received In 1862 and 1863, In the be
lief tbat it wst good money, and not
counting the rtek tbat 1 alway inci
dent to such note. In other word, he
gambled on tbe fata of the confederacy,
while other, who took greenback at
the same, time, gambled on the fate of
the Union. Of course, the former lost
and tbe Matter won: but It wa a mere
game of hazard. And to all treasury
notes are limply hazard notes. Those
who take them are (Imply gambling In
future. If the government which Is
suet them is honest and permanent,
tbey are good enough as a substitute
for money, undoubtedly; but was there
ever such a government? If so, when,
and where? The very agitation now
In progress would, If It were powerful
enough to exert a great force in poll
tic, destroy the very chance upon
which the efficacy of treasury notes Is
based. It would mean lack of faith in
the government and consequent revo
lution. Who would exchange com
modities for the note of a government
In which he bad no faith and whose
very existence was problematical? Tbe
expense of printing such money might
be saved by adopting old confederate
notes.
"Their position in respect to silver
Is, of course, not so bad, but it tends in
the same direction. There I a differ
ence In the commercial value of the
allver and the gold embodied in what
1 called a dollar, and this difference
goes up and down. It cannot be fairly
regulated by statute, and hence bl
metalllsm ha proved a failure. To
make the silver dollar of 412 grains a
legal tender for one hundred cents in
all case would amount simply to mak
lng it tbe sole unit of value, and henoe
would demonetize the more valuable
metal. But as long a the two metals
vary in price like other commodities!
one or the other must be practically
demonetized, and it would make little
or no difference which of the two it
might be if our country were completely
Isolated. But it is not, and therefore
any act tending to demonetize gold
would be a blunder. In fact there Is
nothing but pure fudge in this so called
silver question, and while it Is true
that there never was enough good
money In the world, just as there never
has been enough wheat or cattle or col
on in the world, yet the very fact of
scarcity give It value; and va!
permanent, determinate, portable vaiue
I the essence of money."
Another North Carolina Democratic
paper ays:
"It ba been demonstrated time and
again tbat the act of 1.S which
omitted tbe sllve dollar from tbe Hit
of authorized coins of tbe United
StaW-a, 'simply recognized aa existing
fact,' by dropping a coin which bad
formed no appreciable portion of our
circulation for nearly half a century,
and bad not tbe demonetization of
silver uken place In 173 it mutt nec
essarily bave Uken place a few year
later, or e'se this country would have
resumed sitecle payment in 1379 on a
silver instead of a gold basis."
"At no time bad tblt government
alone aay power to maintain tbe two
metals at their old ratio in tbe face of
the whole of Kurope, and the only pos
sible effect of free coinage of silver,
hitherto at now, would be the demon
etization of gold and the voluntary
auumption by ut of all the commercial
disadvantage of a depreciated stand
ard." 'We are glad to we tbat the dis
cussion of finance Is drifting from the
sliver question to that of banking. This
Indicate great progress towards an
ultimate understanding of the subject
In every country affected by the price
level of commerce there Is plenty of
money, jutt as there Is plenty of water
in tbe vicinity of Winston. But as In
Wlnttoa there is an Inefficient system
of water-wotks alack of an effectual
mechanism for collecting and storing
the natural supply from scattered
fountains, and distributing tbe same
according to the needs of Individuals
and families; so there is In the South
and West a lack of banks of money
tanks o' the mechanism for collecting,
storing and distributing money among
the population in proportion of their
need. The supply i sufficient but Is
permitted to run to wast Instead of
being gathered Into effective tank for
economic use. There 1 a wonderful
analoev between money and water be-
woen bank and water-work."
I might adduce many more article
like these to show that Archbishop
Walsh's following among southern
Democrats 1 on the wane, and tbat
southern men are (tudylng finance In
these latter times Independently of the
primate of Ireland and his agents.
North Carolina will cast its electoral
vote for McKlnley and aound money.
A it ha the smallest proportion of
foreign population and the largest
proportion of Protestant church mem
ber, so It will take lta position at the
head of the patriotic American column.
Let Nebraska nobly stand by her

Appeal has been made to the pope to
settle the matter, but It can be easily

At a local school, during a reading

occurred.
The teacher asked: "What le meant
by mental occupation?"
A pupil replied; "One In which we

"And a manual occupation?"
"One in which wa ut ear hand.'

M)IM THE ALARM.
A Warning U AaterH-aa Wae Are la
Danger Sleep.
From an adjoining village there
comes tbe startling sound of intermin
gled whistle and bell. What does it
mean? A fire a. arm, we say. Some
thing must be the trouble in M .
By night tbe daily paper brings tbe
new. A bltze started in the packing
room of a large hosiery establishment
It commenced to tpread with rapidity,
and for a while It teemed a if not only
that but tbe building almost adjoin
ing might be involved in destruction.
But at lat, through tbe effort of tbe
brave fire department the flame were
checked the hosiery was saveJ. Tbe
owners sustained not a toal loss, but
partial injuries to their property.
But tuppose the foreman had not
shouted with vehemence! Suppose no
one had rung in the alarm! Think you
there would bavi oeeu any difference
in tbe outcome? Or suppose there bad
not been Immediate action9 Tbey
might bave ald, "No ue to be In a
hurry; we can put it out any time we
choose, for wa can easily subdue it"
How foolUh such ta'k would be! Had
there not been a prompt alarm given
people would bave been ignorant of the
impending danger back of tbe hose,
with their powerful streams of water
and the effort of the ready firemen.
I believe tbe (boating foreman and tbe
one who gave the alarm were, in real
ity, tbe one who tared tbe building.
But to-day, If we give a warning re
garding tbe evil ef Romanism In our
nation, many think we are "out of
order." They think we had better be
quiet and not cause so much commo
tion. Ah, had we! Imagine for a mo
ment, that some evening you are en
joying "Tired nature's sweet restorer,
balmy sleep," when suddenly you hear
some one stepping about your balls
and chambers, and you have good evi
dence for believing there is a burglar
In your house. You feel confident tbat
he Is ransacking cloaets, bureaus, and
securing your choicest treasure. But
you say not a word. You neither stir
yourself nor arouse any of the rest of
the family, but turn over for another
nap, wondering If it Is not a dream after
all. When morning comes you awake
a usual. Arising, you go to the bu
reau for your gold watch, which you
had placed there when you retired.
It is gone. You reach for your pock
book. It is missing. You examine
your wardrobe, and behold it Is.phorn
of it most beautiful appareL What
doe it meaa, you exclaim! and then it
dawn upon that dreadful nightmare,
that fearful recollection of the burglar,
which you made yourself believe wa
but a dream. Ah, It has become a ter
rible reality I Your house la shorn of
Its beautiful treasure and adornment.
But you ay this is too absurd! The
illustration is overdrawn. I answer,
Nol Did you ever hear the like be
fore? I know of a certain nation called
the United States of America. Among
her possession are the costliest liber-
tie and the most noble institutions.
She knows that within her borders are
Romanist and Jesuit prowling about,
like the midnight burglar, eagerly
grasping everything valuable within
their reach. Yet she seems to think
it Is but a dream, and sleeps on. But
let ber beware, for
At midnight In her guarded vote
The Turk was dreaming ol tne nour
When Greece her knee in suppliance
bent
Should tremble at her power.
An hour passed on, and the Turk
awoke
That bright dream was his last-
He woke to bear his sentry's shriek,
"To arms! They come tha Ureem
The Greek!
Shall our nation sleep on until her
independence Is gone, all her sacred
positions of trust seized, her publlo
fund appropriated and her public
school system destroyed?
A recent paper relates the story of a
man who had a cataleptic sleep of
seven years' duration, and at its termi
nation he arose and went to work as
well as ever. CBut we, as a nation, c -n-not
expect to do that. The United
States cannot let Romanism carry on
her wholesale robberies while she lays
enwrapped in lengthy slumbers, and
then awaken In a moment possessed of
all her faculties and powers of resist
ance. On the contrary, It will be for
her final sleep, like that of Samson,
when hi locks of hair were shaven.
Lsttbe faithful, heroic souls who are
still awake continue to sound the alarm
from pulpit, press and platform, till
our nation shall be awakened and put
on guard against her toes. Boston

tacked with spasms. She was unconclous
and delirious for weeks following the attack,

agreed that she could not get well. We then
