THE REMEDIES.

This country is in the throes of q
money famine, and the masses of the
people can realize no prosperity until
it shall be relieved, says the Alliance
Herald.
How this relief shall come andhow it
shall be secured, are the questions for
the publicists of this country to settle.
The Republican idea is to reduce the
volume Of currency. The Cleveland
idea is TO destroy the "dishOnest
money" which means the same thing.
The masses of the people do not en-
brace either of these remedies, for they
are not remedies, but aggravators of
the malady. 1t would seem to be
monumental cheek for any set Of men
to offer this remedy to an intelligent
people, but these are the two leading
ideas as political p~anaceas for the ills
which the body polite is suffering 1t
requires very little perception to real.
ize that the demand is not met and car
never be fulfilled by either of these
remedies.

HOLDING ON.

An Allianceman at MOoresville goes
for Brother Caldwell of the Landmarks
with gloves off. He shows that the
Landmark makes Grover Cleveland
and his monopolistjc silver views big
ger than the party or the wishes and
needs Of the people. The reason the
LunimarE does this is because it's
editor is IN admirer Of Cleveland and
hates the Alliance. Yet the Lund-
nItrh'8 party has declared for free
coinage in North Carolina. The editor
Of the Landmarks would have the State
OF North Carolina believe that he and
Grover Cleveland are larger than all
the rest Of the country, including
Mexico.
The Landma1k repliesby saying that
Alliance Democrats who are found
fighting in the ranks Of the Democratic
party next year will be found fighting
! toe Cleveland, Hill, Oh some other anti
free silver candidate for President"
! SO the Landmark IS willing to sacri-
e the party, the welfare of the PEG
pie and everything just for the sake Of
opposing the Alliance and is ready to
follow Cleveland TO q very hot climate
Tor the same reason. Well. he will get
rather lonesome, we think, and the
JUMBO attorney Of Wall street will get
mighty few votes in North Carolina
aud 81 other States where there are
some honest A~lliancemen scattered
around.

OUR FINANCIAL S~YSTEM--"BES1
IN THE WORLD"-FOR
FAILURES.

The following table shows the c erect
number of failures since 1864. It shows
how contraction has done its deadly
work. In 1865 the number was 495; IA
1890 it was Is, 335. The returns for
1891 will show not less than 17,OH
failures.
We wish we could give the exact
number of firms in business in 1864 and
at the present time. But this being
next to impossible, we will give the
number and increase according to pOpI
lation. In 1864 the population Of tho
United States was about 81. 600. 0GO. In
1890 it was 63, 900. 900. Our population
has increased a fraction over Opef
cent. The number of failures, as sho"I
by the table below, has increased three
thousand and nearly one hundred per
cent. We repeat it, increase in Popl
lati0n seventy per cent; increase n
business failures three tHOusaHd am
one hundred per cent" Now read t1'
figures and think whether or not We
need a change. Every business MAJ
in the country should be in hearty at
cord with the reforms proposed by Wv
Alliance.
