Gold Dollars Too Cheap!

Look out for the man who trying to
sell gold dollars for fifty cents. 1t
isn't always safe to trust entirely to
an attractive observation-disclosures
tally if the advertiser lives long
way off and you don't know much
about him. Very few people know
much about the real merits of a must
cal instrument and may be easily de-
celyed by trusting to appearances.
Many a piano or organ looks like a
fine Instrument, but its merit is only
skin Deep Remember that it actually
costs reputable manufacturer more
to produce good instrument than
some people advertise to retail theirs
at When you wish to buy you will
be safest in at least getting informa-

Winston Tobacco in Texas.

The Southern Tobacco Journal says
that some of Winston's manufacture
ers are wisely working up trade in the
State of Texas. That State alone can
take the entire product of our facto-
ries if we only had the trade, but I'M
fortunately the Burnley goods are sold
almost exclusively The Western
men claim Texas as their own terrific
ny and they make strenuous efforts to
holds it. Sometime ago Winston
factory sent salesman into select
part of Northern Texas and soon the
salesman was building up a fine trade.
AS soon.as the Western factories dis
covered this they doubled their forces
on that particular territory and
strained every point to drive our
goods out of the field. In spite of
this, however, the Winston firm has
gotten strong footing and is now
selling goods rapidly in that locality.

MIR. GRADY's LETTER.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,,
WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 8, 1898.
HENRY Il. BAHNsoN, NJ. D., SALEM,
N. G.
s1R:-Your letter of yesterday
reached me this evening in which you
say: "Your late speech and vote
make plain your belief that both your
constituents and the creditors of the
United States government should and
would be rejoiced to receive payment
of their obligations in standard silver
dollars"
You are in error as to one point,
which | cannot make clear without
reminding you first of a false assump-
tiOn you have made:
1St, There are no 'creditorS of the
United States government" The
UNITED States government" is merely
the agent and servant of the United
States,-i. e., of the States united, and
as such cannot be debtor or creditor.
AS agent, it can-with its radical as
sumption of sOvereignty-plunge its
creators into debt; it can rob one class
of the peoples of the States to enrich
others. All this it has done, and is
of North Carolina to pay their ratable
share of nearly three billion war
debt, incurred by it in its invasion of
North Carolina and its destruction
of the inherited liberties of her peO-
pie. If you are an honest man, you
believe this is robhery-robbery Of a
sovereign State by an agent which it
assisted in creating. But this is not
all: the robbery has been aggravated
by compelling the people of North
Carolina to pay their imposed share
of this debt in money which~ for
twenty years has been gradually grow
ing in purchasing power, while their
means of paying have grown proper
tiOnately less.
End, 1t is clear, then, that the cred
itOrS of the people would not "rejoice"
| at receiving their so-called pay-pay
for what.-in anything else than the
constantly approaching gold coin or
its equivalent.
As to my signing the paper you en-
| close, | have no objection if you salts
fly me on one point: Whether you are
d crank, or bondholder, or a hireling
of the gold bugs. Yours etc,
