A BENEFIT TO TIE soUrH

In a recent dispatch from Raleigh
We noticed a very suggestive item. It
was to the effect that Mr. G. {. John
son, president of the Chamber of
Commerce of that place, who has for
several years handled large part OF
the cotton crop marketed there, had
gone to England for the purpose of
arranging with a firm which he rep
resents for a supply Of money to ham
die the crop. This fact has a stroug
bearing upon the present financial
situation and thefuture Of the South.
We are obliged to sell our staples in
d foreign market, where the single
gold standard Of money prevails.
The cotton crop sells for gold gold
, prices; and if We could get the gold
directly into the South, or, III other
words, if we could establish direct
trade with England and get gold in
stead of making New York our bro
ker and letting New York get all the
gold, then cotton would, as of old,
be King again, and the South would
be the arbiter of business and polIti-
cal affairs instead Of New York. We
believe that such would be the case
if We could get a gold standard, and
it is gratifying to see that practical
men are taking steps to establish a
| sort OF gold-and-ootton league by
bringing the buyer aud seller togeth-
er upon a gold basis If this financial
crisis should result in the establish
ment of direct trace between England
and the ports OF the cotton States,
it will be worth more than it can
possibly cost, ana will prove per-
manent blessing in a temporary dis
guise. 1t is upon this line that We
hope to see the silver question SET tiled
once for ali. The cotton crop OF the
South s-lls ever year for more gold
than all the mines in the whole world
produce Let the South stand for a
single gold standard of money and
| the consequent supremacy of the cot
States in the Union.

LEGAL TENDER.

The primary and Indispensable
source of knowledge about money is
the body of law in the nations of the
world, which defines and regula ties
fines, damages, debts, taxes, specific
performance of contracts, etc, as
well as coinage, banking and cur
rency.
The necessity for legal tender had
its origin in the process Of fixing and
collecting by law, that is by actual
legislation or the judgment of courts,
such obligations as fines, damages,
debts, and taxes. The legally en-
forced payment Of such dues made it
necessary for the preservation Of the
personal and property rights Of the
citizen that the unit of value in
which taxes and Judgments we're
rated, should be exhibited in some
specific form, called q legal tender,
which should be treated by the
executive office as a sufficient offer OF
satisfaction whether acceptable to
the creditor or not. Otherwise "a
pound OF flesh from the body of the
debtor next to the heart might and
and often would be demanded and
taken; or the debtors body would
be held in slavery. This necessity
has been recognized in all civilized
countries, and the unit for rating it
has been exhibited usually in coins
of one metal only. The system has
been called recommendation. When
exhibited in coins Of each OF the
precious metals with a ratio between
the two kinds of coins as to weight.
fneness and value, established BY
law, the system has been called bi-
metalIism.

CAUSES OF PANICs.

According to a book just published
by G. P. Putmans' Sons, New York,
there are three main classes of panics:
First, Panics of circulation, which are
caused 10y too much circulating
medium, inducing an unhealthy
stimulus to trading, which eventual
ly ends in a relapse, or by a sudden
shrinkage of circulation which stops
loans and extensions of credit so as
to bring financial ruin. Second,
Panics of credit, which come when
some large failures render the bust
ness world over-cautious, thus lead
ing to a shrinkage of credit which
equals in effect shrinkage of the
volume of currency. Third, Panics
of capital, such as occurred in 1889,
when capital was SO tied up in in
ternal improvements as to be I'M
available Tor ordinary purposes.
AS many people are now inquiring
the causes of the present situation
We give OHe luii AeAuO "a LIS DCOA-
"A Brief History of Panics and their
Periodical Occurrence in the United
States" It may be ordered through
our local booksellers at one dollar a
copy, and it's reading would add to
our knowledge of important things
besides stimulating habit of in
quiry.
1t may be mentioned as peculiar
fact that every important tariff
change, whether from a lower to a
higher or from higher to q lower
tariff, has been productive of finan-
cial disturbance; to this there is but
one notable exception in our history

A STRANGE EVENT.
a " ng Iady's Statement and a
Young Mans Dream.

a y, ung E4ady's Statement and
Young Mans Dream.
The people Of Albany, Ga, are all
talking about very strange event
which recently happened there, and
which is reliably vouched for. A
young North Carolinian had been
making love to young lady there,
but d quarrel had broken off the
match, and the young man went home
and married another girl. a few days
ago the yopng lady astonished her
family by telling them that she had
received & call at the place where she
is employed from her old sweetheart,
and that he had repented Of his harsh
conduct toward her and had made an
ample apology. The sister and broth
er-in-law Of the young man, who live
in the city, denied the young lady's
statement, knowing that two or three
days before he had left for his home
and had had sufficient time to arrive
there. The young lady was so posi-
tive in her statements that there was
no room lett for doubt. She gave a
minute description of how the young
man was dressed, and supported her
statement by the evidence Of some
young men who had seen the young
man at the same time. All this was
| stated in a letter which was next day
sent to the young man, and the girl
was mystitied when a reply came back
telling her that She was mistaken, be-
cause on the afternoon she claimed to
have seen the young man he was sleep
ing and dreaming of her in his home
and, wonderful to relate, dreaming
just such an apology and at the same
time and place as she claimed to have
seen him. There was perfect cor
respondence between the young lady's
statement and the young mans dream.
