Nix. EDITOR:
Dear Sir: From The various commu.
nications and comments which have ap.
peared in onr papers, il seems to be the
universal opinion, that the only means
We have of relieving the present financial
Distress, il IN the rc-establishment of
staie Banks Its only through them
that tile volume " currency can liz in-
creased, the means Of borrowing money
made more easy, and The rate Of interest
reduced. Such being the case, isit not
well worth making an effort To re eslab-
Iisli them? 8a
The great impedimellt Ia the way is n
United States tax af 10 per cent OH their
circulation.-Th tax Is unjust, and III
jurious 10 the best interests ofihe country.
Ii Is nnjus., because IL discrininates Ia
the interest ofa few. and against the
interest of tile masses oftle people. It'll
unjust, because II creates m0nopolies
which should not exist. II Is unjust be
cause It allows tile National Banks to
charge Is per cent interest, while others
can only take s per, cent. It Is injurious,
because.it prevents competition, twhicl,
compeiion, II allowek), would enable
money to be obtained for at least oile-half
the rates how charged.
In order that Congress may he induced
tolepeal the tax law alluded %, il Is neces-
sary tobril,g alltlle influence possible 10
bear when corgreSs agaiu meets. a
During the late session Of Congress !
was sinsirumental in getting up 40 or 50
petitions asking for the repeal of this law.
The petitions were referred 10 the Com.
a,iltee ON Banks. Iieceived number
of letters from our Senators and Repre-
seutatives urging me to forward more
petitions. saying it was .oiIly by them
HAT the voice of the people could be
heard" The large accumulation of busi-
ness, and the early adjournment Of Con.
grcss, prevented any action being taken.
Ii Is now proposed 10 make a united effort,
ami as ssoI as CUngless assemblies Ia pour
III petitions from every section Of the
country. Ifthe proper efforts are made,
these petitions will contain the signature
Of not Iess than two hundred Thousand
prrsons. There should mol he less than
twenty Thousand from n. Carolina 4

We have received u copy OF the huies
and Regulations, and Schedule OF Pres
miums for the 18th Annual Exposition oi
The North Carolina Agricultural Society.
The Fair begins on the litl Of October
and continues 70 the 10Th inclusive; con.
sequently there is little more time for pre-
paration. But we believe that 80 fai as
the management Is concerned, all j. dni'e
that can be done; and judging from Tie
liDerality with which most sllen,iid doii;l-
lions have i,eeli made, the premium list
viii be larger and more valuable tllan ever.
We presume tile atiendance aill be ~
large as usual. Tile graiid military slis-

LONDON. Sept. 4.-The excursion stea>
mer Princess Alice. which was run into and
sunk with such frightful results last even
ing, was one uf the largest saloon steamers
Of the London Steamboat Company. She
left london at eleven o'clock yesterday
morning foe Gravesend and Sheerness, many
excursionisrs being induced by the fne
weather 10 90 for a holiday trip. The YES
sol left Gravesend Oh the rc, urn journey
soon after six o'clock in tho evening and ar.
rived wirhin sight Of the royal arsenal at
Woolwirh about eight o'clock. The by
well Castle was then approaching on the
opposite course. The two steamers were
near the middle of the stream, just of the
city nf Lundon gas works at Beck.on, and
below North " Mpolwick Gardens. almost
the precise spot where the fatal collision
occurred between the Metis and v cntworih
ten years ago. What happenrd is :iap'ssi-
BILE accurately to detail. All that is known
amid the maddenipg excitement is that the
screw steamer struck the Princess Alice Oh
the part side near the fore spnnson. A
scere. which has had no PARALLEL on the
river. ensned. Few, very few. psrsons
clambercd on the other vessel. but nearly
all rushed to the after part Of the Princess
Alice as her bow subsidized gradually under
water. The shricks were fearful and no.
thing gould be done to save life. There
were dozen or more life buoys on board,
aud some hoats were swinging in the dayits.
but even if they could have hccn got at
they would have been Of little service un.
der the circumstances. Within FIVE min-
uics tie Princess Alice keeled completely
aver and went down in deep water. Some
small BOATS hastene,l to the scene. and the
Duke Of Trck. another steamer belonging

cursionists. went to the rescue. hut the

No other medicine in the world was ever
given such a test of its curative qualities
as Boschee's German Syrup. 10 three
years two million four hundred thousand
small bottles Of this medicine were dis
tributed free Of charge by druggists 10 this
country to those afflicted with consumption,
asthma, Group, severe coughs, pneumonia
and other diseases Of the throat and lungs,
giving the American undeDiabIe proof that
German Syrup will cure them, The re-
suit has been that druggists in every town
and village IN the United States are re-
commencing them to their customers. Go
to your druggist, and ask what they know
about it. Sample bottles 10 cents.
Regular size IS cents. Three doses will
relieve any case.
