His Friends Hopeful Of His Election

Especial Cor. Daily Sen inel.)
WASHINGTON, Aug. IA distin-
guished Senator from the far South
said to-day to a friend Of mine "The
course of politics in at least two
Southern States is a serious matter
for the Democratic party. The Far
mers' Alliance now have control of
every thing in Georgia and North
Carolina, and they are determined to
run things to suit themselves. My
fear is the bad effect of Alliance CON
troll over the National platform and
the nominee next year." As this
gentleman has been one of those who
have deserted Mr.. Cleveland for free
silver and who have been coquetting
with the Alliance to a certain extent,
he will be we'll punished in receiving
his share of the serious effects of
Alliance control.
It now looks as if Judge Crisp
would get nearly every one of the
Georgia members. His friends here
are pleased with the expression of
the North Carolina editors at the
Winston convention in his favor, as
they point to the fact that Crisp al
ways did stand we'll with the press.
He is mighty good fellow aside from
his ability and special qualifications
for the Speakership. If left to the
Washington cor re spond ents, the
Speakership contest would be settled
in the Georgian's behalf in a few
moments.
The Treasury Department denies
that there is any truth in stories of
its embarrassment on account of not
having funds for paying off the bonds
due in September, or rather that
payment will be demanded. Bnt
high officer was fairly cornered to-
day by Western correspondent who
asked him point blank if there were
sufficient funds for the purpose. The
officer henmed over the question,
then referred the enquirer to the Sec
rotary, but Immediately said: ''No,
don't trouble the Secretary. 1 reck-
on we will make every thing right"
But the feeling is that they may not.
The local papers and politicians are
doing their best to get Washington
chosen as the place for the next
Democratic convention. If the men,
bers of the executive committee, SEN
ators Ransom, Barham and Pasco
have expressed themselves in favor,
and it is understood that Senators
German and Kenna are of the same
opinion, of course the District of
Columbia member, Mr.. William Dick
son, is doing all he can, supported
by the local committees. There is
"close'' in the suggestion, but as
Washington has no votes some
"close stateo may secure the prize.

The city of Winston is to have.
a forty-three thousand dollar
municipal building, to be erected
at once. There is no more pro-
gressive city of it's population
anywhere than Winston, nor is
there anywhere that we know Of
a population more thoroughly in
accord OH all matters involving
the interests of the community,
or the prosperity of the place.
They are liberal and tax them
selves freely for public improve
ments because they are level
headed enough to know that
every dollar invested in that way
yields double or more to the in
vcstors. This is principle they
act upon when they vote their
thousands to public improve
mehts. 1t may be said in this
connection that while Winstonis
hustler, there is not more
solid town anywhere, and, what
is more, her people have got their
wealth by honest industry and
strict attention to business.

man chosen as President of the State
Alliance. 1t is said his defeat was

The Treasury Department esti-
mates that 5OO,OOO,OOO pounds of
sugar will he produced in the Uni

100000 will be required to pay the
bounty. Ninety-three per cent of
the yield is from the sugar cane, 5
per cent from the beet, about l J from
the maple and the rest from sor-
ghum. The beet which seems to
have had nobody to speak for it in
the last Congress, produces more
than three times as much as the
maple, which Senator Edmunds so
strenuously advocated.

cARLtsLn 1nTnRv1nwnD.'

In an interview with news
paper man at Narragausett
Pier, a day or two ago, Senator
Carlisle said he dill not think,
from present Indications, that
the Farmers Alliance would be u
serious factor in the national
election next year. In his opin-
ion it would not hurt the Demo-
cratic party. If the Peoples
party should nominate a ticket
it would not carry more than
three States, viz: Nebraska,
Kansas and Colorado.
In the South, the Senator said,
the Alliance is not going to vote
with the third party. The spec
tire of a negro domination con-
fronts the people, and as long as
it does the white people will hold
together and vote the Demo-
cratic ticket.
The Senator understands the
political situation in the South
pretty well. When Gen. Weaver
and Congressman Simpson were
making speeches in this State
they found out that Alliancemen
are not going into the Peoples
party. Mrs. Lease Is making
speeches throughout the State,
urging them to take off the DEM
ocratic collar and join $4,000
Kansans who are whooping up
that party, but she doesn't meet
with a great deal of encourage
ment. They rather like the col
lar. 1t isn't Objectionable. The
truth is they are proud to wear
it. They understand that the
Democratic party has done a
great deal for them, and that no
other party is likely to do for
them as much as it will. Indeed,
no other party has the power to
do as much.
Senator Carlisle thinks that it
is very doubtful if the Peoples
party will nominate a presiden-
tial ticket. He feels pretty GER
tain it will not unless Mr.. Harri-
son and Mr.. Cleveland should be
the candidates of their respective
parties. The Peoples party
would then enter the campaign
on the free silver issue, both Mr..
Harrison and Mr.. Cleveland be-
ing opposed to free silver coin
age.
The Senator is inclined to the
opinion that the Republicans will
nominate Mr.. Blaine, if he will ac-
cept the nomination, because of his
extraordinary popularity with his
party, and that the Democrats will
nominate Mr.. Cleveland, because he
has such strong hold upon the
masses of the people. The belief in
his integrity, his independence and
his devotion to the best interests Of
the country is widespread, and, not
withstanding his anti-silver letter
may be sufficient to make him the
Democratic standard bearer.
But whoever the Presidential can
didate of the Democratic party may
be, it can be stated with almost alb
solute certainty that he will have the
support Of the Southern Alliance
men.

MORraAenD HOMES.

The optimistic assertions OF
high tariff advocates as to the
condition of the people under the
protective" system do not find
mitch support in the cold facts
reported from time to time. For
instance, the st. Louis Republic
points out that according to
the returns of the enumeratOrs
engaged on the mortgage CEN
sus, there are now 2,491, $50
homesteads under mortgage. In
a population of 62 900, 900 peo-
pie there are not more than 49,
500, 900 families, SO that, even if
there is a homestead tOevery five
persons, two homestead in every
ten are mortgaged. The total
mortgage Indebtedness on home
steads is estimated from the
census returns at So, $50, 100000
which, at 8 per cent, would
amount TO an interest tax of
500, 100000 a year on the
2,491, $50 heads of families in
volved, or of over $50 year on
each. At the average rate OF
American wages for unskilled
labor, says the Baltimore Sun
each one of these heads offamilies
would be required to work
eighty-two days in the year to
pay interest on the mortgage
debt. The money-lenders, there
fore, have force of nearly two
and half million men working
for them for 80 days out of 365
days in the year under a system
having for the money-lender
many advantages over African
slavery, as the chatted slave was
fed and clothed by his master
and supported at his mothers
costin sickness. The profits on
the labor of the chattel slave
were frequently nothing at all,
and rarely, if ever, as much as
$50 net a head.' The greater
part of this mortgage loan is
borne by the agricultural States,
and just how much of it repre-
sents profits wrung from the
farmers to the tariff monopolists
would be an interesting question
for statisticians to figure on.
"After thirty years of high tariff
taxation and republican financial
policies" remarks the Republic,
"the country has been forced en-
tilely away from the cash basis
to basis of Understanding
credits. The people are in debt
as they never have been before in
the history of the country, and
under the republican policy there
is no hope o. their getting out OF
it. And this while through the
labor of the people the general
wealth of 1.-The country has in
creased until now the average
wealth of the poorest farmer and
of any one of the moderately
wealthy plutocrats is counted by
millions. If you feel very poor,
there is always this consolation
for you-that you can add your
wealth to that of Carnegie, and
