it in a few words. Peru has few
manufactures, and yet one is sur.
prlscd to see how many excellent
articles are displayed here among tie
manufactured articles OF the country.
They range all the way from boots
and shoes, through women's under
wear and cotton and wooden goods,
blankets, beer, ice, blank books, sash
doors and blinds, to fine furniture,
mirrors ard pianos. In the depart.
ment of antiquities, the display is
particularly rich. There are mum mics

A NATIONAL CURRENCY THE BEST,

NATIONAL CURRENCY THE BEST.
In speech in the Senate in 1897.
John G. Calhoun said:
alt appears to me, after bcstowine
the best reflection | can give NO sub
Iect, that no convertible paper-that
is, paper whose credit rests on a
promise to PAYS suitable for cur
rency. Bank paper is cheap to those
who make it, but dear, very dear. to
those who use it. On the other
hand, national currencv, while it
would greatly facilitate its financial
operation, would cost nothing or next
to nothing, and would, of course
add much to the cost of production.
which would give to every branch of
our industries great advant ages both
at home and abroad. And now
undertake to affirm without the least
tear L can be answered, that a paper
issued by the government, with a
simple promise to receive it for all
dues would form a perfect paper cir

by the government; that it would

1t has been more than a year since
the most commanding figure, and
magnetic force in the reform move
ment was called upon by an inscrut-
able providence, to lay down the
great work that he was doing for
humanity. No man in the Organiza-
ton (and few in the whole country
have had an equal place in the
hearts of the people. And while
this is his highest tribute and his
prouIest monument, yet we should
give some evidence of our esteem
and admira ton for him. In the past
North Carolina has not done her
duty IN this respect. Let every Al
lianceman, and every lover of the
great principles of truth and justice
(as embodied in the demands of the
Alliance resolve, that before anoth-

plain but fitting and imposing mar

place of l.. L. Polk. Let US not de
lay this matter, but begin now. AT

ball in motion by taking up an I'M

which amounted to $500. THE

the contributors and the amount

THR WAR Is OVER.

We assert our purposes to be
Identical with the purposes of the
national constitution-''To form a
more perfect union, establish Justice,
lnsur domestic tranquility, provide
for the common defense, promote
the general welfare and secure the
blessings of liberty for ourselves
and our posterity." We declare that
this republic can only endure as a
free government while built upon
the love of the whole people for
each other and for the nation: that
1t cannot be pinned together by bay
onets; that the civil war is over, and
that every passion and resentment
which grew out Of it must die with
1t, and that we must be in fact. as
we are IN name, one united brother
hood of freemen.
Our country finds itself confronted
by conditions for which there is no
precedent IN the history of the
world-our annual agricultural pro-
auctions amount to billions of dol
lars IN value, which must within a
few weeks or months be exchanged
for billions of dollars of commodities
consumed in their production: the
existing currency supply is wholly
inadequate to make this exchange:
the results are falling prices. the
formation of combines and rings
and the lmpoverishment of the pro
ducing classes. We pledge ourselves
that If given power we will labor to
correct these evils by wise and reas-
enable Legislation in accordance
with the terms of our platform.
We believe that the power of
government-in other words, of the
people-shopld be expanded las in
the case the postal service) as ran
Idly and as far as the good sense of
an intelligent people and the teach
lngs OF experience shall justify. to
the end that oppression, injustice
and poverty shall eventually cease in
