TOO MUCH MONEY. !"

The Washington Post in reply to
a speech of Senator Jones, of Neva-
da, who said that it was not want of
confidence so much as want Of mon
ey that was causing the hard times,
says:
at is not the want Of more money
so much as the want of use for the
money the country now has"
What, is it possible that we have
more money than We need, have we
indeed an "overproduction'' Of mon
ey: There is no doubt an overpro-
duction of it where the people do not
make anything to sell, when they
do not CREATE wealth but ACCUMU-
LATE what other people make, but
down here and out West where the
people make something to sell,
when they create wealth, there is
an overproduction of products, shat
is there is more products than money
to buy them with. We make nine
million bale crop of cotton and have
onl y five million crop of money to
handle it with. Read the above
clipping again, "nO use for the mon
ey we have" indeed. Go ask the
man who has wheat on his hands to
sell and is told not to bring it to
market for they don't want it and
have no money to pay for it.
Further on in the same editorial
we clip:
"No relief could possibly follow
from swelling the volume of curren-
cy simply to have it boarded away in
safety deposit boxes or other idle re,
ceptacles, because of the timidity OF
capital and the uncertainty of in,
yestments. 1t is no doubt true, as
the Senator says, that we "want more

little service to the country SO long
as the people see no opportunities fol
its employment or hesitate to utilize
those that they have"
When the Post admits that any
additional circulating medium would
also be grabbed and locked up, i
presents a strong argument agalns
the policy Of the government in turn
ing over the control of the money O.
} the country to greedy and sOulles
corporations.
More money will do no good til
the people see some opportunity t.
: use it? Go ask the thousands wh'
want to work and can't get work
90 ask the thousands who have some
thing to see and can't sell it; g
ask the thousands who are in deb
and can't raise money on good Sc
curity if they could not find use TO
more money.

JEFFERSON AND JACKSON
Were Opposed to Banks of Issue Both
State and National.

Were Opposed to Banks of Issue Both
State and National.
Andrew jackson it was who said,
"if congress has the right under the
constitution to issue paper money, it
was given them to be used by them
selves, not to be delegated to indivi-
duals or banking corporations"
Thos. Jefferson it was who said ::
Bank paper must be suppressed,
and the circulating medium must be
restored to the nation to whom it be-
longs. 1t is the only fund on which
we can re- y for loans, it is our only
resource which can never fail us, and
it is an abundant one for every neces-
sary purpose.
If you believe in the doctrine of
Jefferson and jackson and have the
manhood to back up your belief with
your votes, what party will you be
acting with to-day If.

SUCCESSFUL ADMINISTRATION.

Declare q Dividend OF per cent

.SI--riAl telegram ,o the ntsTAtch
GoLpsBogo. y. c.. July 2O.-One
year ago, when the present Board of
Directors of the Atlantic and North
Carolina Railroad under the superb
administration OF President Chad
wick, declared per cent. dividend
on the entire capital stock of the
company. resulting IN revenue Of
~26, 800 10 the State from her stock
In the road, II was the marvel Of th.
year, because this road, which had
been operated for thirty-three years
under passing administrations of
more or less business Sagaclty and
in thrifty times, had never before
declared a dividend, and all hope OF
ITS ever declaring one under State
management had long since vanish
ed from the minds of even the most
sangulnc. But there II was. divl-
dend OF > per cent, aud IL took
S36, 900 IN round numbers To pay 1t,
leaving. however. still ~, 900 in
the treasury of the company. and
tins after buying and paying cash
for two fine new locomotives, two
new iirst-class passengers. superb
parlor chair car, twenty freIght-cars,
and many other substantial improve
ments, and all of the tloat.ng indeb-
teduess of the road handed down
from former administrations.
ANOTHER DIVIDEND.
To-day, in session in this city,
President Chadwick presiding, the
Board Of Directors found from his
annual report sufficient funds in the
treasury from the years earnings of
the road, under his management, to
declare another dividend of , per
cent, payable on and after Septem
her lst to all stockholders of rec.rd
August lst, which will result in an
other $50, 800 10 the State treasury,
besides taxes paid To il by the above
road, and will still leave surplus
this year of over S20, 900 in the trea-
sury of the road. These facts carry
their own comment and silence every
tongue that would utter word of
dlsparagement against au admins
tratlGn that has resulted so benefi-
clally to the private stockholders
and to the State.

A NATIONAL CURRENCY THE BEST.

NATIONAL CURRENCY THE BEST.
In speech in the Senate in 1887,
John G. Calhoun said:
at appears to me, after bestowing
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
rencv. Bank paper is cheap to those
who make it, but dear, very dear, to
those who use it. On the other
hand, national currency, 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 advantages both
at home and abroad. And l now
undertake to affirm without the least
fear | can be answered, that a paper
issued by the government, with a
simple promise to receive 1t Tor all
dues would form a perfect paper cir,
culation which could not be abused
by the government; that it would
be as uniform in value as the metals
themselves; and I shall be able to
prove that it is within the constltu-
ton and lowers of congress to use
such a paper according to the most
rigid rule of constituting the constltu'
ton" City,

We often hear of some one speak
irg about the rights Of the people.
This term, "the rights of the peo-
pie" is the favorite theme o. the
Demagogue, who do not try to ar
rive at Justice, but to blind 1t. The
people should remember that they
have no rights, until they are ready
to stake off those rights and defend
them. Who will consider that you
have rights, unless you let the world
know what you consider your rights
and demand them. There is no
limit or barrier to the encroachments
OF corporate greed until the people
who are beng robbed present them
selves as that barrier, and name the
limit.

1T ENDED SMOKE.


We clip the following editorial
notes from the Virginia Sun on the
late Governors meeting in Rich
mond:
The convention Of Southern Gov
ernors. which met in this city few
months ago for the purpose of devils
ing means for attracting immig~a-
tion 10 the South. has ended in
smoke, As we predicted it would.
The reverend seIgniors decided TO
publish a volume Of addresses, and
commissioned Col. J. Bell Bigger TO
attend to the job for them. They
failed, however, TO provide the
wherewithal, and the affable Colonel
Is like the proverblal mare-it takes
money to make him go. Consequent
ly, the valuable lucubrations of the
reverend seigniors are hung up and
cannot get themselves published.
An expectant public gives sigh-of
relief.
Speaking of the imbecility of the
convention Of Southern Governors,
the only sensible Governors We're
those who stayed away. This re
mark does not apply to Governor
Mckinney-he couldn't stay away,
because the convention came to
him-he didn't go to it. But he
showed his good sense by throwing
cold water on it-only he ought to
have thrown it a little harder and a
little colder. He did point out, how
ever, that the only way to attract
immigration to the South was to
make life worth living here, and
then desirable immigration would
flock to US fast enough.
The fact is that the Populists are
the best immigration agents the
South have. Ii the Peoples party
platform is carried out, and plenty
of money is put in circulation so as
to afford living prices for Southern
products, there will be 40 trouble
about people coming to share our
riches with us. What people are
afraid Of is poverty, and they will
never come to share that with US. 1t
is the mission of the Peoples party
to destroy poverty so far as it is the
result of vicious legislation, and if
the people of the South are in earn
est in desiring to build up their
waste places, they should lose no
time in becoming Populists,
There is one thing that keeps the
South back besides poverty, and it
is the spirit Of domineering intoler-
ance for all views others than those
cherished by few hide-bound Bour-
bons. who seem to have never caught
on to the fact that this is the year of
our Lord, 1898 actually the last de-
| cade of the nineteenth century. 1t
is devoutly to be wished that these
belated sojourners and relics of a
bygone age will decently get them
selves slowed away before long. as
1t is impossible to imagine the dawn
of the twentieth century until they
have shutfied of their mortal coils.
