A BANKS OF ISSUE,

In another column we give in full
the bill introduced in the Senate last
Thursday, to authorize the organiza
ton of State banks of issue. We wish
our readers to carefully read and study
the bill. 1t is almost a fac simiEe of
the law governing the national banks,
placing the State where the nation
now stands, and requiring State bonds
deposited IN the State Treasury as col
lateral, whereas now national bonds
must be deposited in the national
treasury. There is absolutely no diff
ference in the principle. But think of
it seriously, and study it carefully,
and you will see that the enactment of
this bill into law will be followed in
North Carolina, as the enactment of
the national banking law was in the
nation, by a thousand and one excuses
for authorizing and issuing bonds and
increasing the State debt. Our bank
ers will be multiplied tenfold and their
power to manipulate legislation will
be increased In proportion. 1t is our
opinion that this bill will not remedv
the evils under which we are now suf-
fering, but that seeing something must
be done and that speedily, the capital
lists and bondholders are trying to
work this change which for them
would be an advantage. Let our e
pie speak out now. Let US have a
thorough discussion of this bill. Our
columns are open to our brethren. 1t
or something about like it will doubt
less become law. We believe in a ma
! .tional currency, safe, sound, flexible

& ooO other articles that are subject t.
a tariff.
We cannot find space for every
article. but will mention a few articles
and give the reduction and also the
increase.
We will begin under the head OF
schedule A, which includes chemicals
oils and paints. Here we get d cneer,
ing information that "acetic" ACID
has been reduced from 2 cents per
pound to II ;ents. Extra quality OF
same from 10 cents to 4. Just follow
ing that comes "boracic acid" No
reduction is made, the duty being 5
cents per pounl. But all will rejoice
to know that "chromic acid" is re
duced from Is per cent. to 6 cents per
pound. Now how much difference is
there between Is per cent. and 6 cents9
When you go to buy chronic acid you
will probably faint because it is so
much cheaper. The great American
house of lords must have drawn a deep

made. But wait. Prior to the 51st
Q ngress sulphurIc acid vas free. The
house Of lords raised cain by putting a
duty of / of one cent. per pound.
Alum was left just as it was frac
ton over 6 10 of a cent tariff. Black
ing of all kinds remains the same-25
per cent. tariff. Borax the same-3
cents per pound. You see things that
are used much were not reduced.
Chloroform was reduced one-half-25
cents per pound-it was 50 cents. A
slight reduction was made on chalk.
Now all this was was done by men who
had been bowling tariff reform all
their lives. If everything had been
reduced even as much as was done
with articles under the head of SEIZED
ule A, the work would have been COM
mendable. But wait and see. Just
keep up with these tariff articles and
you will get into the true inwardness
of the kind of tariff reform to expect,
judging from the past.

To The General Assembly of North Caro-
lima January 5th, 1893
We would like to be able to give the
Governors message to the general as
sembiy in full to cur readers, but il
would fill about three pages of ou1
paper, and we shall give only part 81
1t this week, and more of it hereafter,
We give in full the part we suppose
our readers r most interested in, to
wit: Finances, Banks and Currency.
FINANCES.
The Funding act, Chapter SO laws of
1879, which had been extended by the
last Legislature, expired on July 1st.
1892. The amount of bonds taken un
bv this act amounts to $11, 4O5. sos. for
which 4 per cent bonds have been
issued amounting to 50, 1898, $50. There
should have been funded 81, 221 800
If this funding act be extended. the
amount of new 4 per cent. bonds re
ouired to take up the balance is
1916. 800. The bonds known as con,
struct1on bonds, bearing 6 per cent. in
terest. have been, by act of March
1879. taken up by a new 6 per cent
bond to the amount of 50, 726, 900 and
SAC 900 is the remainder of the isaIIo
which have not been presented for ex0
change. The dividends arising from
the State etock in the North Carolina
Railroad Company are applicable To
the payment of interest upon thoso e
ner cent. bonds. AS the Railroad stooH
Yields $3.50 900 annual dividends. there

Of course, if the $50, 900 of the 8 nSI
cent. construction bonds are presented
for exchange the interest charge upon
them will be payable out of he diV;-
dends, and thereby reduce the nrooon+
surplus to that extent.
From the above it will be observed
that there have been issued in az

THEY DON'T WANT TIE SENATE

The Progressive Farmer, Mt. Vernon,
Illinois, has an editorial that shows
the feeling Of some party men and
how deceptive campaigns are:
"A private letter from a prominent
resident of Washington City tells us
that leading Democrats openly say
they would "a her the Republicans
should hold the Senate. This >OUnds
entirely unreasonable to country peo-
pie who have seen nothing f politics
except what shows itself in country
campaigns; but if they will think a
moment they will not be so skepticaL
The politicians standing excuse before
the people IS that they cannot do for
the people what they would be glad to
do because of the opposition Of the
other party. This is sham, a mere eX
cuse, IN most cases, but it goes all the
same and serves it's purpose.
Give a party control of all depart
menCs of the government, and this
excuse is Nd longer available. If the
party then fails it must face its fail
ure, and meet it before the people.
dence on second thought n need not
be surprised that leading Washington
Democrats are not at all anxious to
take the Senate from the Republicans.
This idea may prompt the Democrats
10 join with Republicans in electing
Senators in the pOpulist States"
To the average man who voted the
Democratic ticket because he believed
it the best, this will sound strange,
but il is true. The party leaders and
the mitlionaires o. mOt 0UGmt the Senate.

Five Points Of Beauty.

One of the largest fortunes ever realized
in America was made by the owner of an
old-fashioned crimping pin which lady
had patented in Washington. The
woman who can invent a material which
viii closely resemble the skin of the head
viii find millions awaiting her. Nature
generally understands what is best when
she gives a brunette black hair and en-
llvens very white skin with red locks.
but in foreheads she really does seem to
make mistakes, and by the judicious ar
rangement of hair a homely face
can often be made pretty. The French
speak of the five points of beauty.''
When the hair is combed straight
back from the face and grows in a point
on the forehead they draw it to two other
points in the center of the temples, and to
still two others close to the ears, and con-
tend that so embellished no woman. no
matter how homely her features may be,
can fail to be attractive. Be this as it
may, many woman owes her reputation
as beauty to her couture. A young lady
in Washington, who was by no means
remarkable beauty, came out of fever
with a perfectly bald head. Her hair did
not and would not grow. So finally she
ordered from Paris three or four wigs of
beautiful red gold, and these actually
transformed her from a fright into belle.
The same thing may be observed on the
stage, where an ordinary woman captures
a whole parquet with blond Wig.-N. T.

and ne heard during the afternoon that
Weber had been taken from the jail and
taken to the residence of Mrs. Barnes at
Is street, where he was to be married to
the girl whom her father claims Weber
has SO cruelty wronged. This news threat
ened TO knock some of the prosecutor
calculations into cooked hat, and until
the falsity Of the report was proven. he
was il a state Of mental distress.
Weber has repeatedly stated he would
marry the girl, and Miss White is very
DESTROYS OF marrying him, but it is
thought to be suDterfuge on his part, as
he denies the paternity of the child, and
that he only consents to the union to es-
cape prosecution. Mr.. Eichnor drew
some papers in the case today and will
make vigorous prosecution when the case
is called Tuesday against both DR.. Gardi
ner and Weber, unless the latter is al
lowed the lcophoie of escape in marrying
Miss White. Weber still remains in the
Jail, not having given bonds.

sspon,ts., for Young Mothers.

Don't give things to the baby which
every body recommends.
Don't drug the child with sweet syrups.
Don t give it mint for the nerves.
DON'T fatigueor agitate the child, ifyou
want to keep it well.
Don't give it tapioca, or farinaceous
foods, or potatoes, before it is able to
masticate.
Don't give it meat of any kind and
under any circumstances.
DON It fail to accustonn the child to regu-
larity in meals; to give it the breast every
hour or every second hour will suffice
during the first months.
Don't give the child drink whenever it
cries; often the fullness of the stomach is
the cause of its sufferings.
Don t develop the child in too narrow q
fashion; nature protects the child herself.
Don't give 1T castor oil in case of con-
stipation, but tenderly rub the abdomen.
If the child is delicate and emaciated, rub
its body with olive oil after each bath.
Don't forget, during teething. to give
him from time to time some cold water to
drink; this is very relieving to the in-
famed little gums.
Don't allow the child to tear OF to de-
stroy things for its amusement. / have
seen mothers give their babies books and
other things to mutilate, infusing by so
doing the instinct of Destruction
