Excuse me, though-than put down

To put down the old-fashioned, huge,
bitter pills, that griped so and made
such disturbance Internally is more
than a wise man will do. He will not
put up with such unnecessary suffer.

n1!SUSED THEIR PASSES.
Clergymen and Others Who Can Get no
More Favors from the Railroads.
New York SUM-

AZ interesting monthly publication
which can't be bought at any price,
but would make Eighty interesting
reading for a good many folks, has just
reached its fortieth number. 1t is issued
"for the exclusive use Of those persons
to whom it is sent" and lest anybody
e.se should get hold of copy and be-
gin libel suit the publisher has
omitted to subscribe his name and ad-
dress. This publication is called the
"Confidential Memorandum" and it is
issued by the railroads for their own
use. It contains the names of persons
blacklisted for misusing pass privileges.
Nineteen of its pages are devoted to
blacklisted individuals and seven pages
to the names of papers which have
violated good faith in the matter Of
passes. The papers on the list are all
weeklies, and include many trade
papers and one OF. two of religious COM
plexion.
The "Confdential Memorandum"
does not nlince words. 1t describes a
certain theatrical agent as a I'd. b., first
water,n and boldly calls a citizen OF
Houston, Texas, "a fraud" There are
numerous clergymen on this black list.
There is one from st. Francis, Minn.,
who got there because be altered and
loaned the half-fare permits given him
by railroad. Another clergyman, this
one from Santa Fe., is charged with
altering his permit so as to include his
wife, and former member of Congress
got on the list for loaning his pass, a
fate shared by member of the Iowa
Legislature for a similar reason. A
Missouri clergyman transferred his
pass to another, and a business man OF
Wichita, Kan, is on the list, charged
with trying to personate a passholder'
None of these gentlemen will ever get
more favors from any railroad IN the
country.

instruments of his trade, so are an agrl-
cultural laborer and shoemaker with
out the necessary factors of production
only conceivable on the supposltlon
that they have been robbed Of these
factors by force.
"Of course there can be men who are
hunted from place to place on the
earth's surface as well as those who
have been robbed Of their instruments
of labor and who are compelled to
make with the tools Of others many
things which they in no wise need.
But all this means merely that there
are cases in which the natural order
has been disturbed. If science consid-
ers all these things of which the work
ingman has been robbed to be the fac
tors of the production, why does she
then not regard the claim Of the slave
driver to the person of his slave as such
a factor? The rays of the sun or hui
man beings may be claimed as objects
of ownership; such a violent claim,
however, cannot be regarded as natu-
raj factor Of production. Even so little
can claim to the soil and capital be a
natural factor of production and rob
the workingman of the advantages of
the natural conditions of production.
"She has no right, however, to de-
scribe this accidental, although fre-
ouent, disturbance as the fundamental
law of production. The political econ
omist who nevertheless does this re-
sembles the zoologist who sees num-
Der of birds with clipped wings in
cages with water cups, and iInmedi-
ately draws conclusion that cut wings
and cages and water cups are the three
natural conditions of the life of birds.
Workingmen without land and capital
are in the position Of such birds, and
the fact that they may be counted by
millions does not justify science in re-
garding this position as natural one
and to deduce from an accidental con-
dition a universal law Of production.
"Real life persists in asking all these
questions, and eventually science will
be obliged to try and answer them.
Then, however, she will be compelled
to leave the charmed circle around
which she now turns and look real life
courageously in the face. Then there
will arise entirely new beliefs and doc
trines, which will overturn the pseudo
science of to-day with all its funda-
mental principles, and will bring to
recognition the ideas of healthy COM
mon sense. Then the question, What
is money? will be answered, and the
answer will show that money is by ND
means the innocent medium Of en-
change and measure of value which
science represents it to be, but that it
is the first and most suitable instru-
ment for the enslavement Of man by
man; that it is, in word, the eInbool-
nent of violence"

DEATH OF A TAR-HEEL MISER.
he Left $4,000 in Gold in Old Bureau
Drawers and Pots and Pitchers.
Especial to the State

CHARLOTTE, n. c., July Sold
Uncle Billy Bost, of No. 10 township,
Cabarrus County, died the other day,
! and his body was buried at Bethel. He
was about eighty years old, was a
bachelor and was known to be miserly
in his habits to a wonderful degree.
His only companions were two dogs
and an old negro woman, who had
been living with him during his entire
life. Curious to say, in his will he left
her nothing but her old age and a
WORKOUT constitution-not penny or
even shanty to cover her head.
His real estate consisted of 1900 acres,
he left jointly to his two nephews, AL
len and Peter Bost. The former is his
executor. The balance was left to other
nephews, in 100 acre lots each. To his
nieces he gave nothing but his dilap-
idated home.
He had safe, which was thought to
hold thousands of dollars. When this
was opened the only money found was
punched nickel. Further search was
instituted, and in old bureau drawers,
old cupboards, in pitchers and jars, in
old clothes pockets, in old stockings
and in cracks in his miserable house,
was found $4,000 in gold dust and bull
lion. He had on hand only a few hun
dred dollars in paper money, and no.
notes or mortgages of any consequence
In the search package from Char
lottee bank was found, containing
several hundred dollars, that had never
been opened at ali. This was received
by him in 1880.
Last spring he made his tax returns
and gave in as money on hand 1000.
Perhaps he did not know how much
he had stuck about in different places.
He had corn and bacon on hanG four
years old and some hay that has been
stacked for twenty-five years.
He eased his conscience by leaving Of
his hard earnings 500 to Bethel
church. He made his. will only three
weeks ago, and there is much talk OF
contesting it, for some of his kin have
been left without anything.

scheme for procuring money under false
pretences. And yet in spite Of this low
opinion, he would borrow from them
financial scheme that has brought such
a disastrous crisis on that country. In
stead of keeping US on the high plane
of the most civilized nations, be would
drag US down financially to the level OF
this horde ofhalf-savages.'
But the acme of Mr.. Wolfe's tlnan-
cial wisdom 10 reached in the following: ::
Cali money is made by the fiat of law;
no one can gainsay this; for, l, far
mer, would not take gold as payment
for nv cotton, unless it has the stamp
of the government on it" (sic). Such
verdancy in this our enlightened day,
and in one who presumes to put him
self forward as teacher Of the people,
is certainly most extraordinary. Inc
only remedy I can suggest is return
to school, and study of the most rudl-
mentary principles Of financial and
political economy. Now everybody
knows, except Mr.. Wolfe, and perhaps
the sage of Enoree Plantation, that the
government stamp has absolutely no.
thing to do with the value OF gold.
Take gold coin and hammer out the
government stamp and it still has pre-
ciselv the same value the world over.
The government stamp neither adds to
nor detracts from the value OF the gold;
but only serves as a certificate; so to
speak, of the amount Of gold, and con-
sequently of its value. This ought to
be the same with silver coins; but un-
fortunately it is not, for the reason that
the government has been led astray by
unsound financial theorists into max
ing pretended silver dollars from less
than a dollars worth of silver. Take
our present silver dollar and it is in re-
ality only about IS cents. The'goVern-
ment stamps falsehood and fraud on
every silver dollar it coins. 1t does
net add to its value in the least by put
ting on the stamp. But the legal ten
der character of the coin forces the peo-
pie of the United States to accept as
dollar what is in reality only rs cents.
Outside the United States where the
legal tender law does not have force, it
will pass only for its real value of IS
cents with or without the stamp.
A few other Nints in Mr.. Wolfe's
article I had noted for criticism. But
your space will not admit. And after
the foregoing specimens of his finan-
cial wisdom, I have no doubt your in
telligent readers will excuse me for
pursuing the subject no further:

Sensation At Racine,

Ex-Mayor Secor, of Racine, created a
sensation al that city Tuesday evening by
appearing on the main streets Of the city
with several thousand dodgers, distribu-
ting them in all of the stores and to pass
ers by. Under a heading, "A Good
Proposition to Our Reverend Gentlemen, .
the dodger contained the following:
/ will become one of your followers
provided you go through test prescribe
On some good stormy day | want our firm
believing, orthodox ministers to place
themselves on scow, be taken out into
the middle of Lake Michigan, and left out
there without any oars, rudder or sails,

voyage and reach port in safety, l will

alone, and no human hand.
Yours truly, M. M. SECoR.
1t is impossible to describe the feelings
of repulsion which this blasphemous Cir
cular has stirred up among the respect
able people Of Racine. Secor is a pro-
nounced atheist, and has never hesitated
to air his religious views, but this is the
worst break he has ever made. The let
ter was prompted by the aggressive re-
form movement being pursued by the
ministers and Citizens Association, to
which Secor is bitterly opposed.

Massachusetts for Blaine.

From report of the great Repub-
lican convention of Massachusetts,
held recently, we make the follow
ing extract:
Enthusiastic was the applause
given to Congressman Lodges men,
ton of Speaker Reed, but the men,
ton of President Harrison's name
went far beyond it in point of enthu-
siasm. 1t was when Blaine's name
was mentioned, however, that the
storm broke forth. A wild, unani-
nous shout went up from 1000
threats. Three times three cheers
were given with a will, only to be re-
peated. The storm subsidized, only to
break out again with renewed force.
The crowd was monstrous, eager,
solid, tense, cheerful, cheering, en-
thusiastic. No smoking, ladies in
the gallery, bald heads and tender
mustaches side by side in delightful
unanimity, and everywhere the one
feeling-hustle, hustle this year for
1899.
Ar effort was made by the repor-
tiers to ascertain the Presidential
preferences of the convention, with
this result:
Blaine, 372; Harrison, Al; Alger,
a; Reed, 2; Mckinley, 2; and four
others I each.
