The President on Silver.

In recent letter from President
Cleveland to Hon. w. ]. Northern,
touching the silver question, the
President speaks in pretty plain
language that cannot be misunder-
stood, as follows:
II want currency that is stable
and safe in the hands of our people.
will not knowingly be implicated
in the condition that will Justly
make me in the least degree an
swerable to any laborer or farmer
in the United States for shrink
age in the purchasing power of the
dollar he has received for full dol
lars worth Of the work, or for a
good dollars worth of the product
Of his toll.
II not only want our currency to
be of such a character that all kinds
of dollars will be of equal purchas-
ing power at home, bat want it to
be of such a character as will dem
onstrate abroad our wisdom and
good faith, thus placing us upon a
firm foundation and credit among
the nations of the earth. | want
our financial conditions and the
laws relating to our currency so
safe and reassuring that those who
have money will spend and invest
it in business and new enterprises
instead of boarding it. You can
not cure fright by calling it foolish
and unreasonable, and you cannot
prevent the frightened man from
boarding his money. want good,
sound, stable money, and a condl-
ton of confidence that will keep it
in use.
"Within the limits of what / have
written, | am a friend of silver, but
| believe its proper place in our
currency can only be fixed by a
readjustment of our currency leg
islation and the Inauguration of a
CONSTANT and comprehensive finan-
cial scheme. | think such thing
can only be entered upon proftably
and hopefully after the repeal of
the law, which is charged with all
our financial woes. In the present
state of the public mind this law
cannot be built upon, nor patched
in such way as to relieve the stu
alton.
81 am, therefore opposed to the
free and unlimited coinage of silver
by this country alone and indepen-
IDENTIFY, and | am in favor of the
immediate and unconditional repeal
of the purchase clause of the so
called Sherman law.
81 confess | am astonished by
the opposition in the senate to such
prompt action as would relieve the
present unfortunate situation.
my daily prayer is that the de-
lay occasioned by such opposition
may not be the cause of plunging
the country into deeper depression
than it has yet known and that
the Democratic party may not be
justly held responsible for such a
catastrophe"

It is Foolish

To send for the doctor every time you
don't feel just right. My DOCTORS bill for
years was over hundred dollars a year,
which made a pretty big hole In my

spent ten dollars, with which bought q
dozen bottles OF Sulphur Bitters, and
health has been In my family since using
them.-Robert johnson, Machinist.

The Worlds Fair and the B. & O.
Railroad.

The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, whose
officials are as courteous and clever as
they are capable and enterprising, is
putting forth every effort to meet the
demand in connection with the Worlds
Fair traffic. The following from the
Norfolk Public Ledger, is of interest at
this time. That paper says:
For the benefit of those desiring to at
tend the Worlds Fair the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad will sell excursion tickets
to Chicago and return, at all stations on
it's line, at low rates. Tickets will be on
sale until November LIST, and will be
valid for return Journey until November
18th, 1898. They provide for a reduc-
ton of 20 per cent. below regular rates.
These tickets will be valid only for con-
tinuous journey. Tickets at higher rates
will be sold that will permit holders to
stop over at Baltimore, Washington, or
any other point, going and returning:
Besides the opportunity OF visiting
Washington, a privilege afforded by no
other route, tourists via the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad will traverse the his
toric Potomac Valley, the theatre OF the
war between the States. At Cumberland
they will be offered a choice OF routes,
via Pittsburg, or across the Allegheny
mountains, 5000 feet above the level
of the sea and via Deer Park and Oak
land, the famous summer resorts. The
scenery along the Baltimore 4 Ohio
route is the most picturesque in America.
Pullman accommodations may be re-
served in advance of journey. For rates

tions showing how to sec the fair and
what to see each day
Its Illustrations are superb, not less
than thirteen full pages devoted to pho

buildings which make up the white
City, 1t has a strikingly beautiful cover
Autographed in ten colors, with a from
tispiece showing the Administration
Building, the Lagoon, its gondolas and

THE ADVANTAGE OF MANU.
FACTORIES.
IWarrentOn Record. !


We make the following extract from
a private letter received few days ago
from an old Warrentonian, remitting
subscription for the Record. There is
no doubt whatever that cotton mills in
the South afford an opportunity for in
vestment almost uneqalled by any
other industry. A cotton mill in
Warrenton employing several hundred
hands would add very largely to the
business of the place and every
merchant in town would not only be
benefited to the extent Of the divi-
dends on their stock in the mills, but
by the largely increased trade they
would have. There is another thing
about cotton spinning. The business
is no experiment. 1t has history in
the State and it is one Of uniform
success. With proper management,
not less than 20 per cent. can be
counted on with absolute certainty,
with the probability Of much larger
results. This certainly beats lending
money at 8 per cent. on real estate,
with the almost certainty Of having to
sell the property and buy it in. We
must have factory in Warrenton and
can have one if the people determine
to do so. The following is the extract
referred to:
g. am glad 10 note your persistent
agitation of industrial enterprises,
such as cotton factories and knitting
mills. These or similar industries in
which the poorer class of labor can get
work, children of nearly all ages, as
we'll as grown people, are most
necessary and must come ere the old
familiar tune of " hard times will
cease to be heard on every hand. l
will venture to say that there is not a
we'll organized and wide awake cotton
mill in North Carolina that did not
make 20 per cent. net profit during
the year just past, on its capital stock,
and a good many as much as 80 per
cent. The merchants of your town
would be very materially benefited by
these factories, for it is we'll estab-
lished law that no people on earth
trade, and spend money more freely
than those who have it, and factory
hands always have it and place but
little value on it, as rule, for they
have employment every day in the
year, except legal holidays, and when
they know exactly where they can get
more they part not reluctantly with
that in hand"

THE BANANA.

The banana, take it ali around, is
about the pIcasanlcst vegetable IN the
markets; It's very name Suggests It's
qualities, the word glldcs as easily
over the tongue one way as the fruit
gldcs the other.
There is no rough hard case to
break, no tough or harsh skin 10 peel,
no kernel to lie painfully picked out,
no seeds to lodge in the teeth or
elsewhere, no juice to annoy hands or
stain the clothes, no chambered she'll
to battle the fingers. Ii needs neither,
sugar, salt nor other accompaniment,
no fire to cook or soften it, no plate,
dish, tool, knife or any device of man
whatever.
Growing within easy reach, child
or toothless ancient may pluck and
eat it, no stomach IS too young or
feeble to digest ii, a touch prepares it,
and it goes straight from its stalk to
the mouth, ready to please and
n0urish, one of the most suCCulent,
delicious and available of nature S
gifts.
Slowly melting upon the tongue
some subtle flavor of it brings scenes
and sounds of strange regions to our
minds Dredmilv we muse over
visions, it may be memories, of distant
shores, of some tropical isle or coast in
the middle of the implanted sea, OF
lush greenery, jcwelled with scarlet
and gold as birds flash through like
fame, of warm waves, broken on the
coral reef, and fading into curving
ripples on the yellow sands, of days
and nights OF warmth and ease, where
We might live Tapped in idle plenty,
at peace with the land, entranCed by
the magic and snvsterv of the sea.

Huxley's Contempt for Petty
Things.

Prof. Huxley was once sitting at
dinner beside a lady who, in impas-
stoned tones, asked him whether he did
not think it a very terrible thing that
Rev. Mr.. Jones, the vicar, should have
adopted the eastward position in adj
ministering the sacrament. "My dear
lady, he replied, g l am told by Sir
John Herschel that to drop a pea at
the end Of every mile Of voyage on
limitless ocean to the distance Of the
nearest fixed star would require flee
Of 10000 ships, each of 600 tons
burden, all starting with a full cargo
of peas. Now, do you suppose that
the maker of the fixed stars considers
this new position of Mr.. Jones seri-
Gus thing?''

eight months prior to the recent license
election citizen of this place had
been running a blockade whisky still
in the kitchen of his residence which
was situated Oh one of the main resi-

This is a young mans age. This
is especially true in the North, and is
perhaps less true in North Carolina
than any Southern State. Secretary
Carlisle's advisers are all young men.
Hamlin, first assistant, is sc and looks
80; Eckles, comptroller of the Treas
ury, is "a, smooth shaven and boyish,
and W. E. Curtis, the other assistant
secretary, is 3S. Other prominent
officials, except Hoke Smith and Josiah
Quincy, are under 40. The most
notable change in the political situation
of this decade is the fact that most Of
the young men of scholarship and real
ability in the North are joining the

were Republicans and Whigs.-North
