/ know there has been a great deal
of trouble in this country, fellow citi-
zens, l am aware of that. And not
unfrequentlY l am appealed to for
Gods sake to do something. Let un-
conditional repeal pass in order that
this crisis may be put off, and times
get little better. Fellow citizens, if

of every man in North Carolina, |

SO deep is my conviction that it is bet
ter to endure these ills, which are for
a moment, for the sake of the more
far reaching remedy. Double stand
ard of money is l think the remedy,
and | feel that / must stand by it. 1t
cannot be for long.
Now as for this panic. When it
comes down to the ultimate analysis,
what produced it? At first everything
was attributed to the Sherman law.
They say the Sherman law takes the
short time the gold commences com
ing back. Then was the Sherman
law responsible for its going out and
it's coming back both? Was it trap
like the old negroes trap for varmints
| that "kotch 'em going and kotch 'em
coming?" Why, when we come to en-
quire into that thing, we find that
the gold that went out, Mr.. Presi-
| dent, went out neither according to
the law of supply and demand, nor ac-
| cording to the Sherman law. 1t was
sent out purely On speculation by
bankers of New York, and in many
cases that gold was shipped abroad,
| my countrymen, at loss, because it
| is known to all those who know any
thing about exchange that there is no
money to be made shipping gold across
the ocean when the exchange is 4.S74
and upwards, and vast quantity of
| this money that left this country
| within the last twelve months, the
leaving of which was attributed to
the Sherman, law was absolutely sent
/ over to London at loss to the men
| who shipped it. The Sherman law
was in the way of the speculators;
| and they wanted to attribute the
leaving of that gold to the operations
of the Shermanilaw, and every ship
load of gold that left the port Of New
| York disturbed stocks and lowered
them, and those spectators bought
in all the stocks at a low price, and
shipped the gold right straight back
from Liverpool, a great quantity of ii
coming back in the unbroken pack
ages in which it was shippep.
The Sherman Law purchased 4,500
600 ounces OF silver every month, anC
1t was paid for in treasury notes
which were put in circulation at the
rate of S4S, 900, 600 or $50, ,00O, 900 every
year; and then they complained thai
the scarcity of money was the cause
of hard times. Then they attributed

Good Results Of the Benevolent ASSOCia-
ton Of the Fire De-
partnent,
An Organization Full Of Usefulness
and Honorable En-
deayOr.

According to the City Hall Record,
the Benevolent Association of the
Paid Fire Department Of the City of
Chicago is one Of a few cooperative
organizations whose beneficial re-
suits might be studied with great
profit by those who would make CO.
operation the basis of reform move
ments. There was but little talk
about cooperation when this beneyo-
lent association was organized thirty
years ago the 18th day Of next Octo-
Der. Its object then seemed purely
benevolent, being confined primarily
TO securing support for the widows
and orphans Of the membership Its
financial support was to be derived
from initiation fees, annual dues and
donations to be obtained from those
who recognized that the pay which
TIE 6re-hghters receive out Of the
public treasury does not fully dis
charge the debt which the property
of the citizens owes those who pro-
tect it against destruction at the
risk Of their lives.
The association was from the start
quite popular with the people, to
whom indeed it afforded welcome
opportunity to show appreciation for
the fire laddies. Like the fire de-
partment itself it also showed from
the first very progressive spirit and
a purpose to become a factor for good
in every possible direction. 1t was
not long before the men whom the
fire ldddies intrusted year after year
with the management Of their own
pension fund, from which their wild
ows and orphans should receive sup
port after they themselves had been
laid 10 rest, discovered that the
benevolent association could bee made
an aid and protector Tor the homeless
elders among its membership. In
stead Of investing che funds iu gencr-
ul securities, they were lent out %
members who wanted 90 build houses
foe themselves, and The original pur-
pose of aiding widows and orphans
was wl1eued into scheme fur the

Worlds Fair Crooks

Of Money.
Passes" for Sale On
Every Street
Corner.
Passes" Until You
Cannot Rest Are
Everywhere.
But the Fellows Who Sell
Them Are Hidden
Away,

The business Of selling passes to
the Worlds Fair is making somebody
rich.
Passes are being peddled in all
parts of the city at reduced rates"
Who the beneficiary is, it is diff
cult at the present time to discover,
but the fact will come out before
long.
There is an immense number of
these passes in circulation.
On Sunday last 10000 persons got
into the fair grounds on passes alone.
This was almost as great number
as got in by paying the regular ad-
mission fee
Now, who has these passes?
Where do they come from?
1t is notorious fact that the
passes intended for the weekly news
papers of the country have never
been delivered to any of them.
Have they been sold to other par
ties?
We would like t. know.
Every weekly newspaper in the
United States of any standing re-
ceived blank from the Department
of Publicity and Promotion" last
winter, with a request that it be re-
turned filled up with statement as
to the number of admission tickets
required.
These tickets were to be in eX-
change for the great amount Of adj
vertising given to the fair by the
weekly papers.
Thousands of the weeklies returned
these blanks, with their requests fol
passes.
Not one of them has ever received
a pass to the fair
Are the passes intended for the
weekly papers the ones which are be
ing hawked about for sale?
How about this?

VERY STRICT WITH SOME.

Government OhicialS Cannot Get Passes
When Going to the Fair on Duty.
The internal revenue officers Of
the United States Government are
obliged to pay their way into the
Worlds Fair when they so there on
the business Of the Government.
Passes are scarce for them.
Customs and postal officials have to
do likewise.
So do the county and the majority
of the city officials.
But 40, 600 persons on Sunday and
80, coo persons on Saturday had
passes.
How many Of this 100, 600 people
paid 10 cents each for their passes?
And who got the rake-off?

|. All have come away Thoroughly
satisfied that gross fraud is being
penetrated on the public, and that
the Mccormick Theological Seminary
ought to pay taxes on the seventy
five magnificent residences which it
rents out at high figures
Even one of the Seminary Dulld-
ines itself is now being used lot
nroft. as it is rented out as Worlds
Fair hotel. No wonder that the chi
cayo Times, in discussing this viola
lation of the law of the State, said
when the law was made the pre-
sumption of the Legislature, at mem
bers Of which it is possible doctors OF
divinity might have sneered as lack
ing in moral character, was that It's
beneficiaries, men of education and
of presumed moral worth would
never dream of exceeding the limita-
tion. Bat there are instances in
Cook County where, under guise OF
law church societies and institutions
of learning profit immorally at the
expense of their fellow citizens. In
stances have been cited where the
University of Evanston, having
alienated property for residence pur-
poses, has fled no deed Of the con-
yeyance, in order that fayOrite OF
the University may live upon prop
erty of his tax free The proceeding
is essentially dishonest woefully dis
creditable.
"The most fragrant instance, how
ever. of outrageous conduct is pre-
sented by the Mccormick Theological
Seminary. The contention has been
that the large area of its buildings
used for general renting purposes was
occupied by professors of the institu
tion and the use was legitimate But
hall within these grounds exempt
ed from taxation has been opened as
Worlds Fair hotel. The use is
purely commercial and for profit, but
the property under the educational
clause of exemption is not listed fOl
taxation, and while all the occupants
of the tract enjoy every advantage

NOT so HARD As IT SEEMS.

patent strikes most people as an appall
ingly formidable thing. The idea is that an
inventor must be natural genius, like Edi
son or Bel; that he must devote years to
delving in complicated mechanical problems
and that he must spsnt fortune on delicate
experiments before he can get new device to
a pateutable degree of perfection. This delu-
sion the company desires TO dispel. 1t desires
to get into the head of the public clear COM
prehension of the fact that il is not the great,
complex, and expensive inventions that bring
the best returns to their authors, out the lit
Tie, simple and cheap ones-the things that
seem so absurdly trivial thst the average citi-
zen would feel somewhat ashamed of bringing
them to the attention of the Patent Office.
Edison says that the profits he has received
from the patents on all his marvellous inven-
lions have not been sufficient to pay the cost
OF his experiments. But the man who con-
ceived the idea of fastning bit of rubber
cordto child's ball, so that it would come
back TO the hand when thrown, made fortune
out of his scheme. The modern sewing-ma-
chine is miracle of ngenuity-the product of
the toll of hundreds of busy brains through
hundred and fifty years, but the whole bril-
liant result rests upon the simple device of
putting the eye of the needle at the point in
stead of at the other end

the condition of street crossings on
Dignowity hill, where the two

Tn. Little Things The Most Valuable.

Comparatively few people regard them
selves as inventors, but almost everybody
has been struck, at one time or another,
wi tn ideas that seemed calculated to reduce
some of thedltte frictous OF life. Usually
such ideas are dismissed without further
thought.
why don't the railroad company make its
car windows so that they can be slid up and
down without breaking the passengers
backs?" eXclaims the traveller. IF l were
running the road would make them in such
way"
What was the man that made this sauce
pan thinking OFF," grumbles the cook. HE
never had to work over stove or he would
nave known how it ought to have been fixed"
Hang such collar bTttOn" Rrowls the
man who is late for breakfast. "If Il were in
the business I'd make buttons that wouldn't
slip out, or break OFF, or gouge out the back
of my neck"
And then the various suffere 8 forgot about
their grievar es and begin to think of some
thing else. If they would sit down at the
neXtconvenlent opportunity, put their ideas
about car windows, saucepans, and collar
buttons into practical shape, and then apply
for patents, they might find themselves asIn-
dependently wealthy as the man who invent
ed the iron umbrella ring, or the one who
