Danger from Demagogsm.

We are not surprised that the Rev. Bay
LUs CADE, of Raleigh, after a careful ex-
animation into the merits of the proposed
b-Treasury scheme, decided to resign
his place as editor of the Progressive
FdrTne rather than become the advocate
OF such scheme. The details of this
change we gave few days ago. The
Farmer is Colonel PoLK's paper, and
Mr.. CADE was its editor Colonel
Polk is in favor of the sub-Treasury
scheme, and desires that his paper shall
express his own opinions, not only IN regard
20 this measure, but on all other subjects
which may demand notice at the hands of
the Farmer.
MIR. CADK need not be apprehensive as 10
the consequences Of the step he has taken.
There never was more unwise and dan.
gerous proposition submitted to the deei.
sion Of an intelligent public than this sub
Treasury scheme. IL Is Of a piece with the
worst forms Of fiat ereenbackism. II be.
longs 20 the same class Of delusions with
the South-Sea Bubble and the Morus-
Muiticaulis craze. II paTtakes largely Of
tho nature OF the widest schemes of infa-
ton that ever claimed public attention
il IA based upon the assumption that it is
possible 10 obtain something for nothing
without cheating or deceivng anybody.
II IS q scheme which promises to do great
things for the country. but which would
ruin 81 classes OF the community and
leave US Of the South to begin in 1899
where the disasters of war compelled
us 10 begin anew in 1865. II would
not even benefit the promoters Of the
sub-Ireasury project themselves They
aud al the other people Of the United
States would 40 down together in
one commoa ruin. Mr.. cADS says that
ths scheme would prove disastrous TO the
counHs and especially to the agricultural
interests; but We are inclined 70 the
opirion that, a. we have said. not only
would the farmers be ruined, but ell kinds
and conditions Of men would find them
selves waiiowing IN the slough of debt
and poverty and wretehednass and irrena.

Silver in wall Street.

On Friday last Wall street again became
uneasy because of the demand tor gold TO
chip 70 Europe There might have been a
panic as the result of this uneasiness it sill
yer had not. as usual, proved :unmanage-
able by the spectators in msney. That
metal sold at 1914 which IL good price
considering the circumstances under which
the transactions were entered into.
We share with the general public the
apprehension that If the drain of gold to
Europe shall continue, there may result
monometallist victory. That is 10 say,
thegold bugs viii do all that lies in their
power TO depress the price of the white
metal. and If they succeed will Say, Be
hold your work. We told you So"
II was once said Of HORACE GREELEY that
the bank notes which were rendered him
in town in n Northwestern State for
lecture be had delivered there were so evi-
IDENTIFY wildcat currency that he asked the
discussing committee if they could not
nav him of in good counterfeits." If
Wall street persists in its war upon gen.
uine silver currency the people may come
TO the conclusion that the best way TO
remedy the evils of monometalllst specu-
lations in the precious metals would be to
provide for q little healthy silver intia-
ton. We must all ooncede that it would
be pity 10 have our currency-now
the best in the world~rendered less
valuable and less reliable and less secure
than it is. But if spectators in money
will persist in wrong-doing, the people
generally may deolde to let them expert
ence the evil results Of their Vaccinations.
To drop from the gold to the silver stand
ard would cause such feverish condition
of things as has not been witnessed in the
United States since the BLACK Friday"
which became so famous many years ago.
However, we trust there is no danger of
any such result of the effortsof the money
spectators TO control the silver market in
the interest of the monometallists.
There would probably be lively times in
specializing circles for short while after
gold and silver had parted company" as
the phrase is: but these lively times might
result in good in the end. There is no
cloud without o silver lining; and the sill
yer lining to the currency cloud that now
overhangs Wall street may be a largely-in-
creased activity in the maIts of trade and
commerce.
