WE FIND in the Danville Daily
Register an interesting account of the
reunion of Company &C." Third
North Carolina Cavalry, at Prospect,
Caswell county, July 4th. 1t is said
to have been an occasion that will
long be remembered by the large
assemblage gathered there. The event
is the more interesting to us as we are
sure it will be to readers of the GOLD
LEAF among his hosts of friends in North
Carolina from the fact that DR.. B. M.
Walker, of Danville, surgeon of the
famous Third, and as brave and gal
liant "Tar Heel' in time of war as
he has been distinguished and chiv-
alrlc in the more peaceful pursuits of
his profession and life since, was the
orator of the day. The paper states
that the doctor delivered an admirable
and eloquent address, recalling many
of the scenes and incidents of the war
from 1861 to 1865. 1t was received
with marked enthusiasm and elected
! warm praise from those who heard it.
Our friend measures up to every re-
qui rement on all occasions.

The TInpIate Puzzle.

This tinplate business is really very
confusing. Down to a year or two ago
we were informed, ten thousand times a
year, with all the solemnity of cOcksure
omniscieDce, that the manufacturer of
tinplate in this country was entirely out
of the question. 1t was physically i'm
possible, intellectually absurd, spiritual
ly incompatible with the genius of
American institutions. There was some
thing in the soil, or in the climate, or in
the cut of our clothes, that prevented it..
To attempt it was folly. To enact law
favoring the establishment of such an in
dustry would be criminal When the
Mckinley bill was passed, and under it's
protection numerous alleged tinplate fac
tories were opened, we were told by the
same infallible authorities that "It was
all fake" The largest factory COM
prised only man, boy and a melting
pot. There wasn't sheet of American
made tirplate in the market, and never
would or could be. If there were any
called such, it was imported goods,
palmed off as domestic. The men who
reported the successful making of thou
sands of boxes of American tinplate were
no better than bunco-steerers. The
thing simply could not be done, and
there was an end of it,
Now, however, we have so high Free
Trade authority as "The London Daily
News" declaring that tinplate manufact-
urers in Wales are greatly disappointed
at the lack of vitality and expansion in
this winters trade with America, due to
the constant addition to the domestic
(American), production; and it gives full
credence to the report that in 1894 there
were made in this country 141 1886, sos
pounds of tinplate, or about one-fourth
the total consumption. And at the an
nual meeting of the Swansea Chamber of
Commerce, last week, Sir John Jenkins,
chairman of the Harbor Trust, attributed
the serious condition of the tinplate
trade with which they were threatened
to the competition of American manu-
factuTers; and he added that tinplate
would in future be made here in still
greater quantities; wherefore British
manufacturers must look elsewhere
than to America for their market.
These latter statements, coming from
British sources, are of course indis put
able. Yet so were the former, which
proceeded from incarnate infallibi ity
And they are Numerically opposed to
each other. Which is a mere mortal to
believe? Or must he believe both? Ii
is all very bewildering.-N. Y. Tribune

The Presidents Currency Plan
Criticised.

The Hon. William j. Bryan, the lead
ing Congressman from Nebraska, con-
tributes severe but judicial and unim-
passioned criticism of "The Presidents
Currency Plan" to the February Arena.
These are some of his points: He says
Mr.. Cleveland raises an issue in his mes
sage that will not be finally disposed Of
until bank notes are substituted for all
government paper, or until government
paper is substituted for all bank notes.
His position is exactly opposite to that
taken by the first Democratic President,
Thomas jefferson. NJ Cleveland has
declared the issuance of paper money to
be the function of the banks jefferson
regarded the issue of paper money as
more properly function of government
Mr. Cleveland declares that the abso
lutte enforcement of the government from
the business of banking is the ideal rela-
tionship of the government to the Circu-
lation of the currency of the country"
Jefferson, on the other hand, fought for
such legislation as should make the
banks go out of the governing business
and attend only to the legitimate buSi-
ness of banking. This, with the curren
cy, or any portion of exchange, in their
control, they will never do. Jefferson
wrote on this MATES: "Interdict forever.
to both the State and National govern
ments the power of establishing any pa.
per banks, for without this Introduction
we shall have the same ebbs and flows
of medium, and the same revolutions of
property to go through every twenty of
thirty years" Congressman Bryan
shows how utterly disastrous to every
interest in the community, except that
of the bankers, the Cleveland Carlisle
plan would be in operation, and how all
the old evils of the State banking system
with its loss and Inconvenience, and it's
pressure upon the debtor would be upon
us again. The evil to be remedied IS
the appreciation of gold.

England's acute interest in Hawaii is
easily explainable, says the Boston Jour
nal. She has already annexed pretty
nearly everything else in that portion of
the Pacific. Seven years ago she gather
ed in the Gilbert group of 13 islands, the
Ellice group of five islands, 1900 miles
from Hawaii; the Enderbury group of
five islands, 1,600 miles from Hawaii; the
Union group of three islands, 1900 miles
from Hawaii, together with Kingman
Tanning, Washington, Palmyra, Christ
mas and Jarvis Islands. She also took
in the same year Molden, Starhuck, Du-
dosa, Penryhn, Vostok, Flint and Caro-
line Islands-some of them within 1,200
miles of Hawaii and some of them with
in 800 miles. In 1889 British colors
were hoisted over Rule Island, 2,40O
miles from Hawaii; the Suwaroff Islands
1000 miles from Hawaii, and the Coral
Islands, 900 miles from Hawaii; In 1891
Johnston Island, 600 miles from Hawaii; !;
in 1892 Gardner Island, 1000 miles from
Hawaii, and in the same year Danger
Island, 1900 miles from Hawaii, were
annexed. Last spring British cruiser,
secretly dispatched, would have seized
Neckar Island, part of the Hawaiian
group, if the Hawaiian authorities had
not had smarter steamship, which out
speeded the Briton, la Vigilant. OF
course, there is no need that we should
follow England land-grabbiug example
in Hawaii, but neither should we throw
the islands into her arms. as our textile
fabric diplomatists apparentlY desire.

The President sent special financial
message to Congress yesterday. Having
crippled American industry, and cut
down the annual revenues of the govern
ment to about S1OO,O0O,OOO below the ex-
penses, he deliberately says it is defec-
tive financial legislation that is blamable
in other words, he prevaricates about
the situation. His recommendations
are embodied in bill introduced by
Representative Springer. The bill pro-
vides for the issue of per cent, bonds,
payable in gold fifty years after date; for
the redemption and cancellation of legal
tender and treasury notes; allowing Ma
tional banks to issue circulation to an
amount equal to the par value of bonds
deposited; for the retirement of silver
certificates of less denomination than
$40, and for the issue of small notes in
their place, and requiring payment of all
import duties in gold, The effect of
this is a run on the treasury, $4,000, ,OOO
in gold being withdrawn yesterday, and
the prospect of gold p emium within a
week. We think our people will get
enough of the Democracy before they
! are done with this Administration.

The Republican platform coud hardly
have been better stated than by Gov.
Mckinley, speaking of the fundamental
cause of the present condition of the Ma
tional treasury, when he said; We want
our own markets for our manufactures
and agricultural products. We want a
reciprocity which will give us foreign
markets for our surplus products, and in
turn that will open our markets to for
eigners for those products which they
produce and which we do not" So long
as the nation held fast to the policy en-
bodied in these words the government
had all the necessary income and the
people had prosperity. When it returns
to these principles the same results will
again follow. And the return will be
made just as soon as the party of patriot
ism and protection comes into power in
Washington.

Republican newspapers throughout
the country should effectually brand as
deliberate falsehoods the fragrant mis-,
representations of Democratic organs in
regard to the financial situation. 1t is
the duty of every Republican journal,
says the New York Press, to keep con-
stantly before the people the fact that
the real cause of the phenomenal deficit
in the revenues is the overthrow of cou-
sistent protection by the Democratic
party and the enactment of a tariff which
cuts down the income of the govern
ment as well as the wages of American
labor. The Democratic newspapers
which we're so vociferous in declaring
that the repeal of the Sherman law and
the passage of free trade tariff would
bring unexampled prosperity to the
country are pursuing the same tactics of
hypocrisy and lying in their present
treatment of the Treasury deficit. Their
fabrications must be pilloried before the
people, and the responsibility for the
present unnatural and disastrous con.
ditions placed upon the shoulders OF
Grover Cleveland and his associate
wreckers, where it belongs.

How vermonters Grow Rich.

Vermont is one of the few States in
which the savings bank deposits increas-
ed during the past year, while those of
Maine, New Hampshire and Rhode Is
land fell off. The deposits of the YER
mont savings banks increased from $27,-
e62. $50 to $27, ,966, ,S55, gain of S703, ,925.
This is a gratifying showing, says The
Free Press, when it is remembered that
the decrease in the savings of the geo.
pie throughout all New England as a
whole was $6,21O,0O0 during the same
period, and that the loss in all other
sections of the country reached the enor-
nous total of $43, 100000.
The figures given show how strong is
the disposition on the part of the work
ing people of Vermont as a class, to save
their earnings. and it is this disposition
that explains how it was possible for a
VermOnter to paralyze Western story
teller of the first water, at the Worlds
Fair, by claiming, with some color of
truth, that his office was papered with
Western farm mortgages. The reports
of the savings banks would indicate that
the people were depositing their earn.

The somewhat famous law of New
Hampshire requiring all imitation of
dairy products to be colured pink has
stood the test of the courts and been
adopted by several other States. Its en-
forcement was taken up the Board of Ag-
riculture in 1887, when large number
of dealers were openly selling in viola
ton of the law. Several prosecutions
have been made by the Board, and at the
present time its sale in that State is
mainly confined to supplying lumber
camps in the northern section of New
Hampshire, which will soon be stopped.
The law enacted by the Legislature of
1893 making the soliciting of orders for
imitation butter illegal was wholesome
provision, says Concord despatch, and
makes it possible to restrict the sale of
those fraudulent substances that depend
upon deception for sale and consump-
tion. The Board recognizes the benefit
derived by producers and would be con-
sumers of honest dairy products from the
law and expects to continue active in its
enforcement. Here is something other
states will do well to initiate.
