ALMOST A REBELLION.

Major Pingree, Populist, has just
been elected Mayor of Detroit again,
Notwithstanding he has the combined
opposition of the goldites and monopo-

anything com ng from the Mayor.

RALEIGH, N. O., Nov. 9, 1895.
DEAR BRETHREN:-The location of
the shoe factory and Alliance head
quarters has not yet been determined,
but will be, no doubt, in the next ten
days. 1t is very important to every
member of the Order in Wake county
that these enterprises be established in
our midst. At present the odds seems
against us. The committee examined
property at Cary, and also at Thomas
Vile, aud at this time has a man ex-
amining other locations, conditions,
etc. It is believed that if u WAKE
county brethren will at once rally TO
this cause, and send in their contrlDu-
tions of stock, by next Saturday LOUD
making them as large as possible, Vha'
this would make greatly to our aaVan-
tage and clear the way for a decision
in our favor.
Now, my brother, you know am
interested for you in this undertaking.
I am sure you are standing IN your
own way if you are not doing all In
YOUR power for the cause, and L ap
peal to you to hear a brother wholoves
you. See every Alliance member IN
your community at once, do not delay,
and stir up and have in Raleigh next
Saturday every dollar you can, and the
pledge of every brother who Is not
prepared now to send the cash. The
indications now are that shoes will be
nearly if not quite as high before the
coming winter ends as they were at the
close of last winter.

THE GURNSEY MARKET HOUSE
MODEL.

AS embodying the only clear and
complete solution of the financial
question in the interest of the people,
and one which $50 far as can be done
without single tax would emanci-
pate producers from the rule of money
kings by means of a currency that
would expand with government own
ership of public utilities, we print an
account of the building Of the Guern
sey market house, without bonds, in
terest, or contracts, in a manner
equally applicable to all public works,
from a hundred dollar school house to
a hundred million trans continental
.roailroad. The account is taken from
Jonathan Duncan's Bank Charter
Act" which is now very rare, but Mr..
John @. Drew, a retired journalist of
Elizabeth, N. j., has kindly supplied
the following extract from his copy:
National paper money is an eco
nomical instrument. Skilltully used,
it works wonders. As an illustration,
the case of a market constructed in the
island Of Guernsey may be cited. The
The material wealth of that small island
is computed at "a, 600, 900 $3.50, 900, OOO.
Instead of borrowing money at inter
est to build the edifice, the inhabitants
issued notes of their own, founded on
their own credit. This was done by
the authority of the local parliament,
or States. The estimated cost of the
market was "a, 1000 ($2O,OOU, and
"a. 900 in 1 pounds were issued. These
were paid to the contractor as the
work proceeded. With these he paid
the wages of those he employed. They
in turn gave them to the shopkeeper
for goods; the shopkeepers paid them
to the landlords for rent and they
again redistributed them among 50
ciety. In this manner they we're kept
floating about, filling the functions for
which they were created. In due sea
son the market was completed. II

It gives us pleasure to call u read
ers' attention to an article that has
solid merit, namely, Browns Bronchial
Troches. For more than a hundred
years a sterling character, honesty of
purpose and wise dealings have char
acterized the house manufacturing
this excellent and popular article. The
same determination to do everything
well has marked for nearly fifty years
the manufacture and sale of these
famous troches. Every speaker and
singer knows their immense value, and
all are ready to tell of their worth for
colds and sore throats. But public
speakers and singers are not the only
ones who derive great benefit from the
use of Browns Bronchial Trocbes The
general public are not slow to show an,
probation of a good thing. The i'm
mense sale of these troches proves tn,
truth of this statement. We can un
hesitatingly recommend them to GU
readers, thus following the example G
ministers and regular physicians VIII
know their value for affections of th
throat.

SOME MORE SOUND MONEY MEN

Boston, Mass, have assigned. And
this was a Boston sound money" firm,
too Liabilities $65, 600
HerzOerg Bros, who have been doing
a large wholesale furnishing goods bus
mess in Philadelphia for thirty years,
assigned last week. Liabilities $50, 900
(sound).
Roadmaster A. G.. Confer, of the
Bennington and Rutland Railroad, in
Vermont, is a sound money" man,
slad to be worth one hundred thousand
sound dollars. He has confessed that
he has stolen over $50, 900 from the
company he was employed by.
Capt. <. W. Lyles, a we'll to do far
mer and citizen in M~ecklenburg county,
made an assignment last week. We
hope he will, if he has not, join with
those who are trying to prevent such
things. We understand that Captain
Lyles is favorable to silver, but don't
want it unless it comes through the
Democratic party.
One of the meanest ''sound money"
papers in the country is the Topeka,
Kan, Daily Capital. 1t has been howl

and slandering silver men daily.
Claims for $34, 900 have been brought

The First National Bank of La
Grange, Texas, CT LIBERATED the return

Tuesday.
The Ashley Phosphate Company,
Charleston, S. c., has, been doing bust

lands prosperity was all that it could
stand, and it assigned last week.
A. Sparger, a sound money cotton
mill man at Bristol, Tenn, owes 35, 600
sound dollars, they being good in
Europe and scarce in America, he did
just what thousands Of others are do,

The Fayette- Shaw Tanning Com
pany, located in Wisconsin, with head
quarters at Boston, have closed down
after running for IS years without in
corruption. Dull trade is the cause.
L a. Shakman & Co., clothing, Mil
waukee, Wis have failed owing IS, 600
sound dollars to one bank.
j. w Bowles, merchant, Little Rock,
Ark, has failed owing 80 900 sound
dollars.
Half & Newbourer, dry goods, Hous-
ton, Texas, believe in sound dollars.
They owe just 225. 900 of them and
have not got enough of them to pay.
Frank Bros, dealers in agricultural

A HOPELESS CASE.

Col. Bob Ingersoll is anything but a
truthful man. Fifteen years ago he
said: when Kentucky goes Republi-
can I will believe there is a hell"
Since the result of last Tuesday be-
came known some one asked Col. Bob
if he was converted by the Kentucky
slump. He said: THE fact that Ken
lucky has gone Republican proves con-
clusively that there is no hell"
We regard the Colonel as a hopeless
case. He will probably spend many a
weary hour turning in fire alarms dur,
ing eternity.
