The Winston Sentinel is authority
for the statement that ninety manu-
facturers of smoking and chewing
tobaccos, with an aggregate capital of
over 100000, 900, are said to have
announced their readiness to subscribe
to the stock of new cigarette company.
Animosity to the American Tobacco
Company is the reason for this new
project whose managers have machine
that trebles the work of the Bonsack.
THE several banking institutions of
Danville have formed claring house
association and issued certificates
which the warehouses and manu-
facturers and business men generally
have agreed to accept as currency for
all purposes of gold, silver or green
backs. The warehouses there are
paying for tobacco in these certificates
and it is understood that planters
willingly take the paper. This system
obviates the use of money in this crisis
and enables the Danville market to
handle tobacco right along, which it
would not be able to do otherwise.
The Cleveland (Ohio) Wo,M,
Republican, says that the change of
the present ratio between silver and
gold from I6 to to 20 to as
provided in a bill drawn by Senator
Vest, would simply mean that it
shall take 20 days work to pay debt
that can now be paid with I6 that it
would take 20 bushels of wheat to
purchase what is now bought with IS
that it would require $40 to buy a
suit of clothes that can now be had for
SIG; that everything for which gold
shall be exchanged shall be made one
quarter more difficult to obtain than
it now is. But would this really be
true9 Many very able bi-metallists
men who are out and out silver men,
but who want a dollars worth of
silver put into dollar, making its
bullion value equal to its coin value,
do not view it in this light.

MEssRs. Alexander and Settle, of
North Carolina, made brief speeches
on the silver question in Congress
Monday. We quote from the press
dispatches:
Mr.. Alexander (Democrat) adyo-
Gated free coinage and spoke for a
larger currency. If some relief were
not given to the country there might
be trouble, but he saw no relief in the
bills before the House except possibly
Mr.. BANDS, and intimated a doubt
as to free coinage giving that relief.
Mr.. Alexander condemned the propo-
sition to extend the National Bank
circulation, but the banks had nothing
to do with bringing on the panic.
Mr.. Settle (Republican) said that
he in his canvass had opposed the free
coinage of silver. The furthest that
he would go was the coinage of the
American product. He believed that
the voice of the laboring class of his
State was not for free coinage, but
simply for the increase of the circula-
ton of the country, but he was not
IN favor of an increased currency that
did not increase it with sound and
good money. He was in favor of
blmetalllsm; he was not in favor of
striking down silver, but he stood
unalterably opposed to the free coin
age Of silver in the absence of an inter-
national agreement. He would record
his vote against the amendments of
the gentleman from Missouri (Mr.
Bland) and would vote for the Wilson
bill.

SENATOR KYLE, Populist of North
Dakota, has introduced bill which is
along the line that has been warmly
advocated by many persons for some
time-that Of establishing postal
savings banks by the United States
Government. But the Senator goes
further in his object than the mere
convenience and safety offered by
such institutions and proposes a
measure of relief to some extent
This bill is worth considering. Under
its provisions the Postmaster General
is authorized to designate certain
postofflces, and in each county, to
receive small deposits for remittance
to sub-treasuries. He is to issue
postal saving stamps from 10 cents to
81. The savings are not to exceed
ST, 900 for any one person, and are to
draw interest at 21a per cent. per
annum. The Secretary of the Treasury
is to loan the postal-savings to farmers
owning land valued at not more than
$1,000.

The Democrats of Virginia held
their convention in Richmond last
Thursday. Harmony prevailed and
the work it was called together for was
promptly and speedily performed.
Hon. Charles T. O'Ferrall, member
of Congress from the Seventh district,
was nominated for Governor. The
selection is good one and the Dem
ocracy OF the Old Dominion is to be
congratulated upon its choice. Col.
O'Ferrall has distinguished public
record. AS the Atlanta Constitution
aptly remarks, " Virginia's next gov
ernor is typical son of the Old
Dominion. His loyalty to the Dem
ocracy, his aggressive political methods,
his lofty integrity, and his brilliant
abilities make him the very man to
lead his party to victory. The nomina,
ton will give general satisfaction every
where"
