Nothing but Sixty-C ent Dollars.

The attempt to get upa "busi-
ness scare" about the currency to
the advantage of the Republican
party must strike calm observer
as more than commonly idiotic.
The one overshadowing danger
to our financial system at present.
apart from the tariff, is the contin-
uing menace Of the Sherman act,
with lis steady substitution OF si:-
yer for gold. On this point, as in
its whole treatment of the subject
its demand that "the dollar unit
of coinage of both metals must be
of equal intrinsic and unchange-
able yalue" and that "all currency
shall be at par with and redeeinable
in such coin"-the Democratic
platform is most clear and cut
spoken, The d,fftrence between
the parties lies in the comparative
obscurity of the Republican Decla-
rations, which avoid the Sherman
act and all suggestion of remedy.
That is the only occasion for a
"scare".
There is an apparant agreement
among the administration orators
and organs 10 divert attention from
the present unsatisfactory and
dangerous condition OF
the currency by points
ing out the interiority Of the State
bank currency in use before the
war. This is much as though a
steamboat engineer who was warn
ed that his boiler was in dagger of
exploding should call attention to
the number of lives formerly lost
by the wreck of sail boats and ca
noes.
Governor Mckinley devoted a
good deal of time the other night
to extolling the merits of national
bank notes. All that he said was
quite true, as history, but he neg
lected to mention the important
fact that national bank notes have
almost gone out of use and now
form but an Insignificant part of
our currency. Actually the bulk
OF our circulating medium at this
time consists of silver dollars and
their paper representatives,. To in-
sist that no change shall be made
or suggested, is simply to insist
upon the accepta' ce of a debased
silver standard.

T e ALL IN ALL.

In this hard heart, so cold and small.
My Lord is still mine all in alI.
And if He turn His face awaJ,
A cloud is On the face of day.
And whitest day is blackest night,
If am banished from His sight,
And if afar He lingereth,
My Ii ite is living death in death.
A heart so cold, so hard, so small,
What wonldst Thou with this heart q
So weak, so poor, so like to stray,
Breaking Thy mandates every day!
And yet, though clogged with be,
I fail not in Thy thought OF M,
For on my soul Thyself hast writ
Thy Name, and the sweet grace If it.
See, in Thy hands lay them all
My will that fails, my feet that fall
My heart that wearies every where,
Yet finds Thy yoke too hard to bear.
Yea, with all these my love that still
Loyes-for is lore not hard to kiil2-
Whose only grace it well may be
Is that it loves SO worthily.

This will take one bale Of his
best cotton to pay the tax imposed
by the protective tariff.
The intelligent farmer is as much
interested as anybody in measures
that will advance the general PROS
perity of all classes, but just now
he is more interested in measures
that will first remove the discrimi.
nation against him and place him
on an equal footing with the rest of
the procession. To do this, fellow
farmers of North Carolina, the
only hope that I can see is to vote
the Democratic ticket and for
Cleveland.
Your correspondent was strong
member of the alliance, hoping
through its channel to do some~
thing to alleviate the present con-
dition of the farmers. [ am
young man with no family, and
not comTelled to farm; but having
been raised on farm, [ like the
business,and want to see the farm-
ers succeed-and success is almost
at our door if we will only stand
together. l regret the course OF
many of our alliancemen who have
espoused the cause of the Peoples
party, But l am sure if they will
give the subject thought, all will be
right by NoYember next.
Every other occupation in this
country yields larger return for
the capital invested, and the labor,
intelligence and ability employed
than farming. This is why the
boys do not stay on the farm, but
go to the city and enter other pur-
suits. Men of means and intelli-
gence will not farm; they prefer
any occupation to that which brings
them in contact with mother earth.
This accounts for the rapid in.
creas in the cities and decrease
in the country.
Elect HARRISON and the Republi-
can party; then it will be good bye
to American agriculture.

This is Reform" Gratitude.

Iu the account of the Weaver
demonstration at Raleigh Thurs
day we read that one of the ban-
ners carried in the procession bore
this device:
LET Senator Vance do the will
of the people or resign"
In one Of Shakespeare's match
less plays we read that when Oil, er
de Bois, aLgered with his brother,
drove him from his presence, he
tnrned to old Adam, their servant
and said: "Get you with him, you
old doe!'
To which Adam answered:
SIS 'old dog my rewards Most
true l have lost my teeth il rour
service"
For more than a. third of cene
tury Senator Vance has been the
servant Of the people Of North
Carolina. He has given to them
the years of his young manhood of
his maturer life and now Of his
approaching old age. Duri1g all
this time until now; during the
years of war when his clarion voice
and flashing eye nerved the hand
of the North Carolina soldier and
when his genins and devotedless to
his troops united to put shoes on
that soldiers feet; during recon
struction, when danger more terrie
bic than that Of war beset, an
when one after another yielded to
the temptation set before him;
during 1876; when the battle Of
the giants was on, and the calcium
light was turned upon his record
by his adroit adversary; during his
service from '76 until now, as
Governor and Senator, never until
this time has it been suggested by
any oae that this man was lacking
in fidelity TO the interests Of his
people. The vigor of his manhood
is gone-has been since 1876 when
he made the great campaign by
which North Carolinians came
again to their own; he has lost an
eye in their service-working all
night as well as all day that he
might equip himeelf thoroughly to
fight their battles on the Senate's
floor. And this is his reward: "Let
Senator Vance do tie will Of the
people or resign"
These are not the people they
once were; a distemper has seized
their brains, The great "war
Governor" and the great postwar
Senator may console himself with
this reflection, and say with Ada n:
"God be with my old master! He
would not have spoke such a word" "

AN AUTUM VIOLET.


I aw miracle to-day!
Where the September sunshine lay
Languidly as a lost desire
Upon sumach's fading fire
Where calm some pallid asters trod
Indifferent, past golden rod,
Beside gray haird thistle set,
A perfect purple violet,
I wonder what it were to miss
The life of spring. and live like this?
To blonm so low, to bloom 80 late -
And were it worth the while to wait
So long for such little day?
And were it not better way
Never Gndecd, worse might befalD
To be violet at ala
So loEeiy when the spring was gone,
So clam when autumn splendors shon
So peaceful midst the blazing flower
So blessed through the golden hour
So might have bloomed my love fo
thee,
It is not, and it cannot be-
It cannot, must not be-and yet,
] picked for th-e the violet.

AN AUTHORITY ON LING.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1s.-In the Pinkerton in
vestIgation to-day Senator PETER and Sem
ator Gsllipger questioned Capt. p. Foley, q
Chicago Pinkerton official. The Captain
was asked whether the Pinkerton agency
had stock of arms. He replied that they
had four hundred rifles and two thousand
revolvers. but that the men had strict or
ders not to use arms except to defend them
selves. In reply to questions put by Sena-
tor PETER, Captain Foley described the
theory Of evictions in mining camps.
He said that the agency was en-
gagged in this work. Evictions were
but the sheriff of the county was
unable to serve the papers without assis-
tance from the Pinkerton men, because
those who were not in sympathy with the
tenants were afraid to serve the papers and
those who were III sympathy with them
would not. Referring to the H. e. Frick
Coke Company trouble of several months
ago, witness was asked whether the men

were armed at PIttsburg with Winchesters.
sent in advance from Chicago. He said
that Mr.. Plnkerton's orders were that they
should be armed with clabs only, and Mr..
Foley confessed that he disobeyed orders
in causing the men to take Wholesalers.
But he did so to save life and to prevent
disorder. He said that miners and iron
men were only in terror OF force, and that
the law and officers of the law were mat
ters of lndiffer renee to them.
The afternoon session of the committee
was taken mp by the testimony of the man
ayers of various detective agencies one of
whom, Robert Bruce. of Chicago. declared
that Pinkerton men were usually the scum
of the earth, and that one of Pinkerton's
present superlntendents is an ex-convict
The men OF other agencies, he declared,
were no better than Pinkerton's as rule.
Il would not believe detective under
oath, he declared.
Does that apply to yourselfi" asked
Senator Peter.
We'll. yes. / will apply that to myself"
said Bruce. He closed by declaring that in
strikes detectives were often induced to
manufacture evidence as their employers
would imagine that they were doing moth
ing If they failed to report progress of some
sort. The inquiry will be resumed to-mor-
