MISCHIEVOUS TALK.

AS the Atlanta Journal says, the
newspapers which are engaged in
reckless assaults upon the financial
policy of the administration are doing
neither the public nor themselves
any COED.
We regret to see some Democratic
papers peryerting their influence in
this way and industriously sowing
the seeds of neelltss discomfort and
dangerous misapprehension. People
who read only such papers are liable
to be led to wrong conclusions be-
cause the facts are either entirely
suppressed or grossly misstated. The
cry of these wild newspapers that
President Cleveland and majority
of the Democrats in Congress are
engaged in an organized effort to
strike down silver and place the
country on a single gold standard
would be ridiculous if there were
not evidences that it is working ses
rious mischief,
There is absolutely no foundation
for any such charge and the men who
make it know the fact. Their claim
that only these who favor the free
coinage of silver are bimetallis.s is
a specimen of their arrogance and
absurdity. The only way in which
we can maintain bimetal]ism is to
repeal the purchasing clause of the
Sherman act, because, if we contin-
ue to purchase silver bullion and
pay for it with gold, we must inevr
ltably 90 to a silver basis. Both
the Wilson bill aud the Voorhees, bill
provide that the vast amount of sil'
yer we have now in circulation and
in the treasury shall be maintained
on a par with gold. If that is moi
bimetallism, what is it? The admin
istration is pledged to that policy
and yet we see papers claiming to b'

istration as the tool of the gold-bugs

OUR MONEY SUPPLY.

The Treasury statement for Au-
gust shows how false is the cry that
the country is suffering from scare
ity of money.
We have of the circulating me-
dunn So, ,16O,S17, and the amount
in the hands of the people on the
last of August was $1,68O,592,671,
giving per capita circulation of
$25.O1.
Certainly this does not look like a
scarcity of money. There is enough
of money to meet the demand of bus
ness if it were only kept in circula-
ton. Much of it has teen with
drawn from circulation and boarded
because of the uncertainty as to
financial legislation. But now that
there is the assurance that We are to
have a sound currency, and that the
only policy by which our vast vol~
ume of silver can be kept at rarity
with gold is to be pursued, money is
getting easier and there is revival in
all branches of business.
The charge so often made by the
Populist leaders and by some Demo
ocratic newspapers which are dow:
on the administration, that there
has been constant contraction of
the currency is beIied by the facts,
as the following official figures will
show
Currency in circulation
| September 1, 1898. ......... 81 $50 ,562 ,671
January 1, 1S93... .........1 ,610, ,6S3 ,S7z
January /, 1899. 2.............1 ,5SS, ,7S1 ,72e
January 1, 1891. 1.............1 ,528 ,935 ,94t
| It will be seen that there has beer
an increase of nearly $70,oo0,0o0 Of
the circulating medium since th'
first of the present year, The foil.
of the charge of scarcity of none,
is shown by the fact that in tn
years of 1881 and 1882, when ther
was extraordinary business activit
the per capita circulation was from
$2.64 to $3.50 less than it is now
The recent report of the Comptrolle
of the Treasury shows that the ma
, tional banks now have on deposi
more bonds as the basis Of circula
tion than they have had for severs
years past.
These figures are interesting q
showing the increase of the amour
of bonds deposited by the bank
with the treasury on which the note
, issued:
Goldsboro weekly argus. [volume] (Goldsboro, N.C.) 1885-1909, 1893-09-14

There has been an increase of
$27,o00,00O of circulation bonds
since the end of last June, and
nearly $61, 100000 since June, 1891.
The national bank circulation has
increased very largely during the
past three months and at the end of
August was $199,ss7,17S. The
banks are still depositing large
amounts of bonds as the basis OF
circulation and the passage of the
VOORHEES, bill to allow the issue OF
the notes up to the face value of the
bonds would still further increase
national bank circulation to the
amount of nearly $25, 100000.

Mr.. Howe's advertisement was, therefore,

AT THE FAIR.
A Large Attendance = The Visitors
Who Went TO Criticize.


In consequence Of the fuer weather that
prevail ed last evening, there was an
unusually large attendance at the fair in
the Mechanics Pavilion-a Saturday-night
attendance that had donned its most elegant
attire and had come prepared for enjoy
ment
AS usual. there was great difference of
opinion respecting the manner Of enjoy
ment. Some people took their pleasure
almost sadly, c0uscientiOusly examined the
exhibits, and wasted little time on frivolous
conversation. These were the ones who
bought catalogues Of the pictures, ard were
prevented by the surging crowd from identi-
flying more than Que or TWO OF the works OF
art.
The exhibits were quite a secondary mat
ter TO great number of visitors, they had
come to en- JOY the music, the crowds and 10
criticize the dresses. AS on other occasions
the flower display, near the band stand,
attracted universal attention and admIra
ti0n. Explanations Of How lovely" were
lavished upon the roses esDcci lly. "a
climate that can produce such flowers III
January can easily be forgiven few days
of rain" was the verdict of visitors.
The chairs liz the galleries were crowded
with people eager 10 secure the double
pleasure Of gazing down at the crowd and of
witnessing the Rock of Ages" tableau
from the best possible point of view
II have just fifty two cards" exclaimed
one little girl proudly to her a miring
father The child had taken every adyer-
tisement card offered her. and had sampled
everything there was TO eat and drink That
there was 10 be sampled in the fair. and her
fond parent did not know whether to be
more lost in admiration at her enterpTising
spirit or consumed with anxiety lest the
many and varied drinks and candies might
not have an injurious effect upon her
health.
Sacramento's engine was the subject of
an animated discussion between two gentle
men from the redwoods Of Del Norte
County, who had not seen many locnmo-
tives in their lives, and who paused IN their
tour of the far to gaze in awe and admira-
ton at the gorgeous construction 1T is

between the disputants just as the lights
were lowered, and The band struck up

have had yet" observed gentleman con-
nected with the fair complacently. THE
two days of bad weather caused q marked
decrease in our receipts. but this evening
almost makes up for the loss.
