The Durham daily globe. (Durham, N.C.) 1889-1894, 1893-10-21

THE Springfield Republican brings
out some statistics which go to upset
the popular notion that suicides neces-
sarily increase in periods Of financial
depression. The greatest panic Of re-
cent years occurred in the year 1878,
but the statistics show that that year
did not witness any increase in sui
cide-in fact, the rate both in that year
and the next was generally low in all
the New England states. In Massa-
chusetts there were 1872 suicides in 1871,
lit in 1872, 1T in 1873 and lis in 1874.
1t is undoubtedly true, however, that
suicides have even been uncommonly
frequent of late, and in a good many
cases the victims have been unfor-
tunate in business; but the statistics
of previous years of business depres-
sion are against the theory that sui
cides are multiplied by panicky condi-
tons.

Mr.. Costello's sentiments toward the

THE SUB.TREASURY
Discussed by Pacific Coast Man,
Formerly from Stevens Co.

HAMILTON, WASH, Dec. 80, '92.
l am just through reading the
Golden Bottle and / find it very in
teresting I wish every farmer and
labOring man could have it and read
it. The peoples party here is grow
ing. Industrial unions are being or
gained in every voting precinct.
Free coinage of silver is discussed at
all the debating clubs throughout
the state and the sub-treasury plan
and bonded warehouse scheme.
What is the difference between the
bonded-whiskey warehouse scheme
and the. system advocated by the
alliance? Does not the government
really advance 90c. on every gallon of
whiskey put into this warehouse, and
is not the government revenue stamp
put on each and every barrel before
it is put into bond. If so, it is just the
same as an advancement of so much
cash. Is not also tobacco shipped in
large quantities from foreign coun-
ties held at our custom houses and
the cOnsigners allowed to take it out
in small quantities as they sell or
manufacture it, and thus favored by
the government? These are Ques-
tions which have been discussed pro
and con. I remain yours, etc.

Lower Prices for Produce.

EDITOR REPRESENTATIVES,:
From expressions of readers of the
Representative" the paper appears
to be giving almost universal salts
faction. Keep it up with the times
and no one will need to ask if it is ''in
the middle of the road"
For my part 1 can see no possibl
chance to make any suggestions for
it's improvement, so can give it my
cordial support.
The farmers have least their
bread" in the mud, and probably the
railroad and elevator combine will
find it "after many days.
I read in the New York World that
industrial stocks have shrunk over
$500, 0OO,O This is dead loss.'"
AS farmer 1 am curious to know
what effect the conditions that have
produced the above shrinkage in so
short time will have upon the price
of farm products next fall. I believe
we cannot hope for very high prices.
If prices rule as low as last fall, or as
they now are, the condition of the
farmers, in this immediate vicinity
at least, will be deplorable. The To-
cal dealers will most of them be
forced to the wall.
Is the plodding farmer, carrying
ten-pound "gobs" of mud on his feet
while doing his spring blowing, the
cause of such exhibitions? Surely
not. The N. Y. World states that
the most humble farmer knows just
as much about the causes of shrink
age of stocks as the most successful
operator in Wall street. 1t then re-
ports interviews with Russell Sage,
w. E. Conner, and E. G. Benedict,
1.-The latter the bosom friend of the
president of this republic who says:
"Any man who pays a premium on
gold during Cleveland's administra-
ton, or who waits for such premi-
UNI, will get left" "When he talks
about silver he slaps his desk with
wonderful force and losses his head
with fiery enthusiasm. He keeps
both fists clenched until his remarks
are ended" 1 quote the above so
readers may know the head of Cleve-
lands financial policy.

was therefore decided to break the
bar, which was accomplished, the
boy in the meantime suffering ex-
cruciating anguish. the rod broke
of in the boys back and both pieces
were pulled out in opposite direc-
tiOns. A doctor was promptly ON
the ground and did all that was pos
Sible to relieve the lads intense Suf-
fering. He is so badly hurt that it
is hardly possible that he can re-
cover. Old miners say they never
witnessed an accident so horrible as
this"
THE RAILROADS OPERATING MINES.
Much has been said about carrying
companies. The law forbids carri-
ers to operate mines. The constitu-
tiOn reads as follows:
"NO Incorporated company doing
the business of a common carrier
shall, directly or Indirectly, prose-
cute or engage in mining or manu-
featuring articles for transported ion
over it's works; nor shall such COM
pany, directly or indirectly, engage
in any other business than that of
common carriers, or hold or acquire
lands, freehold or lease-hold, di-
rectly or Indirectly, except such as
shall be necessary for carrying on
it's business; but any mining or man.
ufacturing company may carry the
products of it's mines and manufac-
tories on it's railroad or canal not ex-
ceeding fifty miles in length. Art.
II, Sec. 5.
TERRIBLE STATE OF AFFAIRS.
This is a part of our constitution
which the companies laugh at. The
companies do not pay any attention
and the officials of the state are
dumb. Section 10 of the same article
reads:
'sNo railroad, canal or other trans
pOrtatiOn company, in existence at
the time of the adoption of this
article, shall have the benefit of any
future legislation by general or
SPECIAL laws, except on condition of
complete acceptance of all the pro-
visions of this article"
The companies have not accepted
the "provisions of this article" there
fore they do not have to comply with
the law. We voted on the question
of holding constitutional conven-
ton, but lost. The machinery of the
democratic and republican parties
was against us, and our hopes and
energies were showed in by corporate
gold.
Mr.. J. A. Lemons letter will be
continued through several numbers
of the REPRESENTATIVE. 1t is the
most valuable contribution that has
been made to the literature of the
coal investigation, and should be pre-
Served.-THE EDITOR

his exposure of the coal thieves and
hosts of other things, and all for the
best interest of the many who knew
