OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Correspondence OF THE RECORD.


WASHINGTON, September 25, 1893.
Senator Stewart in one of the most re.
markable-for its subject matter
speeches ever delivered in the Senate
numerically scored Mr.. Cleveland for
his attempts to interfere with the legis.
lative branch of the Government. The
speech, which was delivered to-day, was
made in advocacy of the following reso.
luton offered bysMr. Stewart on Satur.
day:
Resolved, That the independence
of the coordinate departments of the
government, the legislative, the execu.
tive and the judiciary, must be main.
tanned, and that the use OF the power
and influence of one department to
control the action of another is viola
tion Of the Constitution and destructive
Of our form Of Government.
There can be no question
about the truthfullness of the asser.
tion made in this resolution; il
has been talked about for weeks among
Senators of both parties, and the only
reason it has not come before the public
in an official way is that many Senators
who disapprove Of the manifest epcroach.
ment of the executive upon the preroga.
tives Of the legislative branch of the
Government were willing to appear to
condone it because they approved of the
end sought-the repeal of the purchasing
clause of the silver law, and the same
feeling may prevent the adoption Of Mr..
Stewards resolution, but it should not.
The resolution involves great principle
and does not alone refer to pending legis.
lation, but to sif future legislation. If
Congress does not stand up for it's con.
stitutional rights and rebuke the execu.
tive for trying to usarp them it cannot
expect that the usurpation will cease
when the pending legislation shall have
been disposed Of. 1t will continually
grow, il allowed to, so long as Mr.. Cleye.

be followed in the future by his success.

dictation Of the Washington officials, has
declined to appoint delegates to the Pan.

will doubtless next advise the railroad

officials than America is to-day.

AFRAID OF THE GANG.

Since the people have awakened to the
fact that that class of persons known az
bankers have banded together and Joined
the Shylocks of-Earope in an effort to
rob the American nation of half its
money, the deposits in. banking institu.
tions are rapidly diminishing. 1t is q
well known fact that for some years past
but few wealthy people have trusted their
money with banks, and from the number
OF embezzlers, defaulters, etc., among tho
banking fraternity, tho people OF wealth
have shown their wisdom. They invest
a portion Of their money in registered
Government bonds and the balance thew
horde in burglar.proof safety vaults:
and 80 when the festive bank president
or cashier skipsto foreign country they
smile at the simplicity of the poor de.
luded depositors But the Door depos;t.
ors are beginning to learn more about
the banking gentry. and -ehe movement
to do away with silver as money. solely
in the interest and for the benefit of the
money changers, has awakened the peo.
pie to the infamy Of the gang. The far.
mers OF Kansas are among the first to
follow the example of the people of
wealth. They are putting their money
away, not in burglar proof safety vaults,
but in tin cans and then burying it. The
editor OF the Beloit Gazette says that the
farmers of northern Kansas have more
money than they ever had before. He
mas seen many 60 to a timers in Beloit
and have great rolls of bills sealed in tin
boxes. These they take home and bury.
Money they have is now nevsr deposited
in banks, and others have drawn their
money through fear. He says millions of
dollars are buried in Mitchell county.
Reports from various parts of Kansas saw
that the farmers are putting their money
into Postofice money orders, preferring
that to trusting it with banks. Thew
rightly think that persons who unite in
an effort to rob the nation of one.half its
wealth would not>hesitate to rob the in.
dividual Of all. A few months ago, in
order to help along their nefarieus
scheme against silver. the bankers gave
out the information that their "ysult.
were bursting" with deposits, but from
present indications throughout the
country those vsutss will not be in
any immediate danger Of bursting"
from the same cause.

MORTGAGES IN GEORGIA.

In 1880 mortgage debts to the amount
Of So 127, 275 were incurred in Georgia.
In 1889 the number had increased to
81, 315, 500. The gain was 261 IS per
cent. while the population had only in
creased 10 IA per cent. During the ten
years a total indebtedness amounting
to $74, 158, O7O was incurred, represented
by 1O3 DIG mortgages. Of this Sc so
per cent was on farms and 43 50 per
cent. on town and city lots. The total
existing debt on the first of January,
1890, was S27, 397, $50, 81 90 per cent.
being on farms and 38.O4 per cent. on
town lots
The above figures are bad enough
and show that it is time to call the
goldbugs to order. However, Georgia
is well off when compared with New
York with a per capita Indebtedness of
1868, Minnesota, 1852 and Pennsylvania
with SIP. Georgia has a per capita
debt of only fifteen dollars. 1t is the
lowest of any Southern State except
Arkansas, which has a per capita debt
of only $13, or South Carolina with a
per capita debt of about 81 70.

SPECIAL STUDIES.

1t is a good plan for farmers clubs,
Alliances and other similar organiza-
tions to take up the study of some
special subject and discuss it for a part
of the time at each meeting. By so
doing a large amount of information
will be acquired in a short time, and
the discussions fastens it In the mem
DRY so firm that it stays there. We
know of one club that took up agricul-
tural chemistry last winter, and,
although chemistry is thought to be a
very dry study, there was such an in
terest aroused that most of the time at
several meetings was devoted to this
subject, and in the end the members
knew more about how crops grow and
and the value of fertilizers than they
ever thought possible with the small
effort that was made. Most of the
members of that club have no difficulty
in determining the value of a fertilizer
upon being given it's analysis, and a
good many of them have a pretty good
idea of what their soil needs in the way
of fertilizers, and the study given to
the subject last winter has been dollars
in their pockets " e since. They know
from the price of various feeds which
is the cheapest, and are able to feed in,
diligently and furnish their stock with
a balanced ration. History, geography
or any other matter of interest, may
be taken up to advantage, for where
there is competition and friendly
rivalry, there is interest, and it is not
hard to study on a given question OF
branch of knowledge.

LET The WORK BEGIN.

The quarterly meeting of the Execu-
tive Committee Of the State Alliance
will be held in this city on next Thurs
day, Dec. 14th. We suppose it is quite
likely that some plan for pushing ALI
ance work will be discussed and
adopted. This is the proper to
pursue. Judging from letters received
and other information, the time has
now arrived for some very effective
work to be done. Many active ALI
ances are building up unaided. There
is much of the old time good feeling
among the brethren. New Alliances
can be organized in some sections, and
inactive ones can be revived. The PEG
pie are thinking and planning Many
of the most conservative men in the
State are ready to array themselves on
the side of the only organization that
can be used effectively in this great
struggle for industrial freedom and
prosperity.

AS USUAL

Congress has been in session a week
Former records for doing nothing stand
unbroken. The Bankruptcy bill, what
ever that is, was mentioned during
the week. The Hawaiian incident"
was talked about in a grave manner
as if it was a matter claiming prompt
attention. The American people care
nothing about this little cluster of
of islands, and Congressman who think
they can deceive their constituents by
making a mountain out of the Hawaiian
molehilI will be disappointed. An
effort was made to get Utah admitted
to Statehood. Ali these unlmportant
things should be left alone until other
matters of italimportance are settled.
They are not mentioned in the Chicago
platform, and are foreign to the real
issues involved.

H DEADLY GRIP.

The grip has appeared at a number
of points in England and America.
Twenty persons have died in one week
in a Kansas town. It is likely that it
will spread all over the country as it
did four years ago. 1t was very fatal
then, andmany died fromit after linger-
ing for months and even a year or two.
As in everying else, an ounce of pre-
vention is worth a pound of cure. The
disease is easily managed if you stop
work and begin at once. The symp.
toms vary slightly, but dull or acute
pains in the body and limbs and an
unusual, queer pain in the head gener-
ally serve as a danger signal. Doctors
may not all agree with us, but expert
ence is worth almost as much as scien-
tifc knowledge. The moment you
realize that you r sick and feel the
above symptoms, go home at once.
Don't go to bed, but stay in a comfort
able room until you are well. Begin
treatment at nee by drinking rye
whiskey freely. In addition to this
drink as much lemonade asyou can all
the time. Take moderate-sized doses
of quinine several times a day. Take

THE FEVER.

The football epidemic ended with
Thanksgiving Day, for this season, and
we hope no colleges will allow it next
year. Those killed in the game have
been buried and the wounded may all
recover. The game is dangerous and
demoralizing.
On Thanksgiving Day Yale and
Princeton played at New York. Thou
sands of people witnessed the game,
and thousands of dollars changed
hands. Princeton was victorious and
hundreds of students got hilarious,
some because of victory, others to
drown their grief. For hours the stu
dents marched up and down Broadway
shouting and blowing horns. When
some poor fellow would get too drunk
to march, his companions would leave
him to the tender care of the police.
Four students were arrested for trying
to take a negro in a fashionable res
taurant to dine with them. The next
morning an even fifty of them were
taken out of the city prisons and
marched to the police court and fined
$5 each for their fun.

WELL WELLH L

The Charlotte Observer Of the 9th
said:
1.-The most disorganized part Of the
machinery Of this government is the
financial system. The legislation of
recent years upon it has all been in the
nature of temporary expedients, and
the whole country feels that the foun-
dations of the system r unsettled. It
Is probable that to this more than to
any other cause was due the panic
through which the country has just
passed and the depression which has
succeeded it."
The light is breaking. We have in
sisted all the time that the financial
system was the seat of trouble. But
DR.. Caldwell and other graduates of the
tariff reform school have continued to
poultice the patient on every spot ex
cept the right one. Now if these physi-
clans will admit that there isn't enough
money and that a better system of dis
tribution is needed, they will get their
diplomas,

DErRoIT's COURAGEOUS MAYOR.

The enterprising political papers are
careful not to be enterprising enough
to publish the fact that the city of De,
troit, Mich, elected a Populist Mayor
by a majority of 5000 the other day.
This contradicts the statement that re.
form has no foothold north of the Po-
tomac, The Populists nominated Mr..
Pingree, and, though the two old ma
chimes fought him with all sorts of
weapons his known integrity carried
him through. Men of all parties put
aside party and voted for a man who
could be trusted.
Having given this much as a matter
of news, we wish to quote what the
Mayor said in a speech just before the
election. Speaking of corporations and
trusts he said:
ST am not against corporations sim
ply as corporations. 1t is when they

THE GOOD T1MRsO ARE COMING

R. G.. Dun & Co. report 1856 failures
for the week ending December 9th,
against 271 for the corresponding week
last year. This is a gain of 62 over the
week before. For the week ending De
cember I'd there were 278 failures, but
most of them were large concerns and
for large amounts. The liabilities were
four times as large as for the week be
fore. Most of the concern failing last
week were large ones and the liabilities
will be immense. North Carolina con

TIME TO o MEN.

There are 1000 idle men, women
and children in Philadelphia. Indian
apolis is struggling with the problem Of
how to care for its needy and suffering
unemployed; the sheet iron manufac
turers of Pittsburg r arranging for a
ten per cent. reduction of wages; 90
900 miners and their families are re-
ported starving on the Gogebic iron
range in Wisconsin; and Governor
Peck is shipping carloads of food to
starving men who were eating baked
dog and refuse on the peninsula, after
a careful visit; the New Castle coal
mines have a fresh cut of 20 per cent.
in wages, and the 5melter hands of this
city are dropped 25 cents each to begin
December 1st, and so the story runs on
indefinitely. Want and suffering are
everywhere prevalent. Never in the
history of the country has there been
so many unemployed men as at present,
and these conditions will continue until
the masses arouse from this apathy,
study economic questions for them
selves, and see that the remedy for
this trouble is entirely in their own
hands and that a different state of
affairs will never come to pass so long
as they vote for old party men and
