THE IMPROVING FARMER

1t is possible that the farmers OF
North Carolina are wiser than thew
have been in years, and it is possible
from all reports that they in measure
are taking to what they have called
newspaper farming, in greater degree
than in many years; and if they persist
in such course they will master the
situation and get back to the high
position they should enjoy in a much
shorter time than they were in coming
to a point that is unenviable in the
extreme. The press of every kind in
North Carolina except the Third party
press, has for years been telling the
farmer how to be independent without
any perceptible effect; now it, like
"bread cast upon the waters is being
gathered up. What some have chosen
to call the plutocrat, the subsidized
press has always been the farmers real
friend, bu. he seemed not to realize it
till the so-called organs of the farmer
began farming out doubtful politics
instead Of how to grow the most on a
given piece Of land.
One among the first things this
writer ever wrote and published was
how a farmer could be independent,
and all the years since it has been
added to and reiterated.
We claim nothing, but we know
many who have said we were right.
There hever has been, there never will
be time when a farmer who grows
what he needs instead of trying to
make a fortune out Of cotton or
tobacco in one year will not be safe
from any dire evil that may befall
other men in business way. He who
grows all that he needs for his family
and stock needs but little else and any
little he may maA is surplus, not due
to some one else, but his own This
is not all, the farmer holds it in his
own power to regulate the price of the
money crops and make little patch
bring more than a ten acre field.
When he has mastered that point in
his own mind and teaches his children
the same, be is indeed the lord of the
country and the servant Of no man.

THE FINANCIAL KEYNOTE
lDanville Register.l

| lDanville Register
In his message vetoing the Bland
| bill, Mr.. Cleveland wrote:
When it is proposed to initiate our
silver currency it is time for strength
ening our gold reserve instead of
depicting it.
In commenting on this part of the
message we said in this column on the
4th instant
Leading financiers tell us that the
way to have plenty Of silver is to have
plenty Of gold. That if the govern
ment had gold reserve Of $3.50, ,OOO,-
| 900, it could then afford to issue more
silver money, for the reason that with
such reserve fund, everybody would
have confidence in silver, and nobody
would want to exchange it foG gold.
That strikes US as being a sound
financial policy, and hence we hail
with delight the introduction in the
house Saturday of bill proposing this
policy.
The bill which was telegraphed to
and published IN Sundays Register
will be known as tke Meyer bill, it
| having been introduced by Mr..
Adolph Meyer of Louisiana. 1t au-
thorizes the secretary of the treasury
to issue 3 per cent. bonds of convenient
and saleable size to build up the gold
reserve, and then to coin into standard
silver dollars the silver seigniorage in
the treasury.
The president will sign this bill if it
passes, and there should be no diff
ficulty about its passage. We think
this bill strikes the keynote and will
60 far towards settling the financial
muddle and silencing the clamor fol
free silver.
1t is said that the president is waking
up to the necessity of action by him
in regard to currency legislation, and
that it is probable he will send q
special message to Congress on the
subject.
1t is also stated on good authority
that Mr.. Cleveland has recently said
he would like, to see the government
go out of the banking business and al
elastic currency supplied to the people
under proper system of private bank
ing.
This, we take it, means that the bill
to abolish the State bank tax is grow
ing in favor, and we have strong
hopes that such bill in some shap'
will pass Congress and receive th'
presidential signature.
If these two measures pass and g
into immediate effect as the admins
tration's financial policy, Mr.. Cleve
l lands second administration will ye
r go out in fame of glory. A SCUM
4 currency and a plenty of it is tn
e keynote.

dentistry the gold consumption
annually for the entire world is pa,
at more than SOS, ,ooo, GOO.
Mark this, there are hundreds of
millions or more people using gold
now than in 1S7, or 1873. BY the
repeal of the Sherman law last year,
by the closing Of the mlntS in India by
the British government, and by the
extension of the gold standard IN
Austria Hungary, 1t is estimated by
authorities in finance that ,,5o,ooo,-
900 more people were made com
petltors for gold as money.
Again, the gold supply OF 'he world
annually would be but as per cent.
of the value of the total wealth of this
country. 1t is thought to be matter
of real doubt if now the gold product
of this country exceeds the amount
actually used in the arts, etc. As to
the effects of the gold legislation and
the appreciation of that coin in value
upon the farm products that must be
considered at another time. 1t has
been most terrible, most disastrous.

Cleveland and the South.
Tampa Daily Times. !

A Northern Democratic paper in
reviewing the list of appointments
intimates that the President has recog-
nized the South in the distribution Of
official favors to an extent that even
subjects him TO the charge of undue
partiality for this section in comparison
with the North, East and West.
1t is shown that three of the eight
cabinet officers are from the South,
two of the four ambassadors are
Southern men, ten of the twenty ENJOYS
extraordinary are from the South, Of
ministers resident, three of the five
are Southerners, of the Consuls the
South has twenty five Of the sixty OF
the principal ones. The South has
also the following high-salaried Off
Gals Chief clerk of the treasury,
director of the mint, chief of bureau of
engraving, chief OF consular bureau,
chief of state department of bureau of
statistics, first, second, third and fifth
auditors of the treasury, register of the
treasury, commissioner of internal
revenue. superintendent of immigra-
ton, assistant secretary of agriculture,
chief clerk of the navy department,
register Of the navy, commissioner of
railroads, three of the six attorney
generals, solicitor and chief clerk of
the department of justice, the solicitor
of the treasury and one of the three
civil service commissioners. These
are III, tsli positions held by S0n IL
ern men, and then in addition
hundreds of them in less important
but good paying positions in the
departments and throughout the
South.
The President can not be Justly
accused of neglecting the section OF
the country from which he received SO
large share of the popular vote, and
he has shown a friendship for the
South that deserves better return
than in some quarters has been made
for favors received.
