good moral character.
In the counties of Iredell, Meeklen-
burgh, Vance. Harnett, Sampson, Ran
dolph, Cabarrus, Stanly, Union, Hyde,
Tyrrell, and others, the commissioners
have refused to grant licenses to any OF
the applicants because no man who pro-
posed to engage in retailing liquor is a
man of good character. In Rutherford,
Cleveland and CASTOR counties the people
have voted absolute prohibition, and the
Jaw is being rigidly enforced with the re-
suit of decreasing crime and the expenses
of the county. The action of the COM
missioners in refusing to grant license has
been carried into the courts, and one su-
perior court judge has refused to grant
the writ Of mandamus to compel the COM
nissioners to issue the license.

AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS.
New Jersey Leads the List OF States In
Average Value.

Average Value.
New Jersey stands first in the list of
States relative to the value of agricultural
products per acre, her products being
worth S10.26 per acre; while New York,
which is next in the list, has product.
i've value Of 745 per acre; Massachu-
sets. $7.31; Rhode Island, $7.35; Con-
necticut, $7.37; California, $3.50 In the
West the value of products per acre are
lower, as q general thing, than in the
East.
When the value of products per farm
is considered, New Jersey takes second
place, with California in the lead. The
latter averaging 81 $50 per farm, while
this States average is but $S72. But the
average New Jersey farm contains but 50
acres, while the average farm in Califor.

only. Ii was increasing also in Au-
Stralla, but in no other country. But

Senator from the Rocky Mountains

OF the Senator from Ohio; and he sug-
geSted that Mr.. Sherman owed it to
himself and to the Administration to
explain that the statements as to a
quintuple production of silver was an
eXaggeration.
Turning to the economic aspect of
the question, Mr.. Teller contended that
some consideration was due to the

Dy law were put under disadvantage in
two ways, by stimulating the manu-

said tho price of labor had increased
the price Of prodHcts. The farmers of

tent, to compete; but what should be
SAID OF the farmers of the West and
South, where there were no manufac-
lures at all? If there interests were to
be looked after, it must be by change
IN the financial system OF the country.
