are many persons who are ANXIOUS to
read the paper, but are not able to pay
for it. THE DEMOCRAT is very cheap

READING BOOKs.-A young farmer

We commeded HIM fer it and now suggest

where that their leisure time cannot be
more protitably spent than in reading
good books. This young farmer will
always remember with delight the pleas.
ure he had in reading last year.

Death of Mrs. Hall,

Fell a eep en- the night of February
LIST, 1893, at her home IN Scotland Neck
N. c., Mrs. Mary Moore Hall, in the
18th year of her age. Mrs. Hall was the
daughter of the late Edward Wood, ESQ.,,
of Edenton, the present home of the sis>
ter and four brothers who survive her.
Soon after the close of the war she was
married to DR.. Jas B. Hall, of this place.
The first four years Of their married life
were spent in Edenton. after which they
moved to Scotland Neck, where they
have since resided at the old family
homestead. Just beyond the limits OF the
town. During all those years, Mrs. Hall
has ever been the same gentle, refined,
Christian woman that she seemed to
show herself at all times and under all
circumstances. Naturally of a retiring
disposition, she was person OF few
words, but she could always be relied
upon to do her part in the sphere OF life
to which she was called. 1t has been re.
mark ed by her friends that during all the
time she had lived in this community, she
was never known to speak harsh, I'M
kind word about any one, nor on the 9TH
er hand were any such words ever spok-
en- about her. For several years past her
health had been gradually failing, till
about two months ago, she became SO
weak that she could no longer leave the
room. The greater part of the time she
was confined to the bed, and it may truly
be said to have been bed of suffering
suffering bravely and patiently borne
without murmur. Conscious almost tc
the last breath. and considerable of those
around her to the very last, she gently
fell asleep in the confidence of a certain
faith; III the comfort Of a reasonable re-
Iigion and holy hope: in favor with
God, aud in perfect charity with the
WorId.'' W. j. s.

pose q large portion OF the 800 00o, 900

go into the pockets of the farmer and

THE REAL ISSUE.

If congress at It's coming special ses-
sion can determine what line of action
will most quickly and surely restore pub
tic confidence in business circles ana the
community, and will promptly act,upon
it. little else will be necessary to relieve
the strained condition of affairs. 1t is a
fact that ninety five per cent OF the
commercial transactions of the country
are done with a circulating medium
created by the merchant or manufactur-
er himself-the check on bank-and
these checks pass from tradesmen and
employees in a circle till the bank upon
which the check is drawn is reached. As
the Chicago Tribune pertinently says:
"If there was as much confidence as
there is money in the country, the
troubled waves of the financial sea
would subside in less time than it takes
to say Jerry Simpson. To this Henry
Clews, the fnancier, adds: 1.-The OBJ
stacle does not lie in any general distrust
of the quality of the collateral offered
for loans or of the paper offered for dis
count. 1t is generally conceded that
commercial affairs are on a sound basis,
and the number of cases of insolvency
that the pressure has brought to light is
small" 1t is now the great
business of congress 10 take measures to
restore confidence.

The sugar and rice growers of Louis-

have organized an association for the
better protection Of these great industries
in the southern states. They held a
meeting on the 18th of June at Iknaka,
at which officers were chosen aud a
committee on statistics was appointed
10 gather facts to present 90 congress to
prevent adverse legislation IN regard to
the sugar industry. At tins meeting
John G. White, the secretary Of the
Sugar and Rice Protective union, intro
duced a resolution that was unanimously
adopted, providing for a United States
sugar producers convention. to meet in
the city of Chicago on the 18Th Of Au-
gust next. The object of this
convention is to unite all Of tie
sugar producers Of the United States into

THE FIRST THING FOR CONGRESS.

Notwithstanding the plain statement
made in the presidents proclamation
conYening congress in extra session, that
it is for the especial purpose of .legislat-
ing for the relief Of the financial strain
that has been upon the country for sew
eral months, evidences are already being
manifested by Democrats here and there
OF disposition to run away from the
issue and eXalt some irrelevant PROPOSE
tI2n III the stead Cf the all absorbing
question. Fer instance, lie Chicago
Herald, The party organ of the central
northwest, comedies with Congressman
McMillin Of Tennessee that The first
thing, or one OF the frs things, for con-
gress to do viii be to repeal the CON
greS5ional election act. From the stand
point OF partisan advantage resulting from
such cowardly act on the part of the
party IN power the Republican party
could ask for nothing better. But true
Republicans are patriotic Americans first
and as such insist that purely partisan
questions be ignored and the whole of
the best thought and endeavors of the
peoples representatives be devoted to
the relief of the country's distress, as
far as it may be done by legislation, be-
fore any thought or time is given TO
other matters that may be attended to
at any time or left unnoticed without
public detriment.
The great question before the country,
and the question which the people OK
pect congress to deal with promptly and
effectively, is the relief of the present
financial stringency. 1t is to consider
this that the extra session has been con-
vened, and the Iaw-making power
would fail of its patriotic duty in con-
senting to complcate its legislation
or open the way to dckers and COM
promises by inaugurating a partisan
controversy over the force bill.
Something must be done to ease the
money market, TO restore business conf
deace, to save the fabric of the national
prosperity from the storms that are beat
ing upon it, and the federal election bill,
which is not in any wise responsible for
existing conditions, is not sufficiently
potent factor to be successfully manipu-
lated in ameliorating these conditions.
Ii there is one thing more than another
to be apprehended of the coming con
gress it is the diversion of it's efforts into
sectional channels and inflamatory
debate. Nothing is more important than
such a concentration of public sentiment
upon the necessity of immediate financial
reform as will compel congress to heed
its admonitions. At sucha crisis as this
it would be little short of suicidal 10
confuse and divide the public mind by
the introduction of irrelevant and fac
tIouS issues.

PRESENTATIVE AND NOT 4
MEASURE OF VALUES.
To the Editor of the Eagle.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
Money should be only representative
and not measure of values. As a
measure of values it has been regulated
for US by foreign powers for the past
thirty years, and in that time three
fourths of our measures of value have
been from % to 30 per cent short. This
has been loss to us of from IS, 900, 000,-
900 to SIG, 900 100000.
Ii congress viii make our CURRENCY
only a representative of value it can
not be used to discount our values,
as it has for thirty years past.
BY permitting our most serviceable rep
resentatives of value to be used as meas
ures only said measures being froIa one
fourth to twOfhirds short, our loss has
been proportionate 10 the shortage of
the measure. The loss TO this nation
can scarcely be estimated, but it is not
less than eight billion dollars. This
amount has been loss to the nation out
right-and the grain, stock and silver
producing states have lost eight billions
more. j. S. j.
