THE WAY 1T WORKS.

four hundred million dollars Of money.
Sixteen hundred millions Of their wind
is utilized by the wealth producers as
an exchange medium, because there
isn't money enough issued by the gov
eminent for that purpose.
AS an Offset to the bankers PROPOSE
ton that the government legal tenders
should be retired, our populist con-
gressmen should suggest that this re-
serve Of the national banks should be
made up of greenbacks. That will not
only retire the greenbacks, but 1t will
make them more valuable to the banks
than gold, and will send the gold now
held by the banks into circulation, be-
cause for each dollar in greenbacks
held by a bank it could loan three dol
lars-in some banks feur dollars Of
bankers wind; and the loan Of its wind
would be restricted to the amount Of
greenbacks in issue, or the amount 1t
could corral. No greenbacks could be
spared to seek redemption in gold, be-
cause It would be the symbol Of four
wind dollars, each doing duty in the
business Of exchanging labor's products
and each confidence wind dollar absorb
ing interest out Of the wealth produc-
ton.
We need not enumerate the many ia
vors enjoyed by the banks-all of them
special privileges created by law. The
scheme they now propose is merely an
other law in their interest. What we
propose is a law in the interest of the
peoples rights.
We hope that congressman who are
true to the people will not be content
with mere opposition to what the bank
ers propose. Meet them with a counter
proposition that will give additional
value to the greenback by giving it a
special privilege under the law and de-
priving gold of that privilege. The re-
suit would be an instructive object les
son to those that cannot now under
stand that money is created by law,
and the bankers would soon be asking
for more greenbacks.-Progressive

BONDS AT BOTH ENDS.
How Grover Has Fattened the Pocket
Books Of the BOndholders.

Books of the BOndhOlders.
During Grover Cleveland's first term
as executive, there was surplus Of
money In the treasury. How the gov
eminent officers happened to let this
money slip through their fingers Is
something that has never been fully ex-
planned, yet there was actually sur
plus so big that 1t was burden.
The question came before congress,
and measures were urged to dispose Of
this money. Some suggested one
scheme and some another, but our
Roger Q. Mills finally presented a bill
providing for the expenditure Of this
surplus in buying bonds Of the govern
ment not yet due. In order to induce
the holders Of these bonds to surrender
them, premium was paid on the bonds,
and in fifteen months seVenty-two mil
lion dollars found Judgment In the
pockets Of the bondholders, in addition
to the principal and interest due on the
face Of the bonds. Thus, the bond
holders succeeded in getting in a bold
robbery by the help Of Senator Mills, to
the tune of $72,00O,OO0. This was the
initiatory term Of Cleveland.
When Mr.. Cleveland came in on his
second term deficiency in the treasury
occurred very soon, and how to dispose
Of the deficiency was matter Of much
moment. OF course, 1t must be dis
posed Of in some way to the financial
benefit Of the bondholders and money
thieves. So instead Of buying bonds,
Grover went to selling bonds, and did
the same as he did in buying bonds,
that is, paid the bondhoders premi-
um. The bondholders must have a
steal out Of the bond deal no matter
whether the bonds are "a comm or a
gwine." The money gang succeeded
in fleeing the government out Of from
fifteen to thirty millions on the bond
sale designed to procure money for the
deficiency In the treasury.
Thus Grover has fattened the pocket
books Of the bondholders at both ends
of his executive service. When there
was too much money, the bond holders
were paid to take 1t out of the treasury,
and when there was a shortage Of
money the bondholders were paid to
put money into the treasury. 1t is
down hill both ways for the bOndhold-
ers and up hill both ways for the peo-
pie.
There is not the least doubt but that
some one received bonus for this
scheme of feeding the bondholders fore
and aft. AS Grover has developed
from a poor man to millionaire in a
few years on a moderate salary, 1t is
reasonable to conclude that some Of the
fat went his way. Senator Mills is, Of
course, an honest man, but honest men
rarely father bill N congress designed
to rob the people for the benefit Of the
bankers and bondholders. II Senator
Mills did not receive share Of this cor
ruption fund, 1t is not because he was
not in position to do so.-Southern

ARE BIRDS GUIDED BY srARs7
An Attempt to Solve the Great My'tor.

An Attempt to Solve the Great Mystery
Of Bird Migration.
In an article on Birds Of Passage"
the Chautauquan says If one desires
an explanation for the great mystery
OF bird migration, there being nothing
else that will answer, he will have to
accept the theory Of hereditary knowl-
edge, a knowledge OF the unfaillng
stars. The Great Bear and Orion APP
peared at the same time In our region,
even when the divisions of land and
water were very different than they are
today. That the stars are the guides
of birds agrees with the fact that they
fly at remarkable heights, often above
the clouds, and that wanderers lose
their way when they stray into clouds
and mists. On starlight nights stray
Cling birds are seldom noticed. When
the sky is overcast, when the night is
dark, but especially when fine rain is
falling, multitudes Of travelling birds
are heard. They will call often, doubt
less for the purpose Of keeping near
each other; and often great numbers Of
them bound against the windows Of
lighthouses. Thus Gatke has observed
that on Oct. %, 1882. from 10 o'clock at
night till the next morning golden
crested wrens bumped like snowflakes
against the lighthouse Of Heligoland,
and that on the following day golden
crested wrens sat on every square foot
Of Heligoland. Toward the end of the
summer, along into the fall, 1t was not
a rare occurrence on dark nights to
see, through the light Of street lamps,
birds flying over inland cities. The ex-
perienced observer recognizes by its call
the curlew and the strand-snipe, sea-
swallow and seagull, occasionally hears
even the flap Of their wings. But no
bird is visible in the darkness. On dark
nights no stars appear; then 1t is that
the straying Bird loses his way. The
stars are the most plausible guides to
birds in their migratlons. But only the
future can tell us whether they really
serve in that capacity.

A Warning to tho United states.

Recently the United States consul
at Cairo made a report to the State
Department showing the deplorable
condition Of the Egyptian government.
From that report, the Topeka Capital
selects the following facts:
Egypt's bonded debt reaches the enor-
nous total of 500 million dollars. The
population being only seven millions,
this is a debt Of about S72 per capita,
or the equivalent Of national debt in
the United States Of five billion dollars.
At present the productive area Of Egypt
is only five and one-quarter million
acres. From the product Of this land
must be gathered revenue Of eighteen
million dollars a year to pay the inter-
est on the public debt, which amounts
to an average tax Of $4.56 per acre.
The consul's report does not dilate
upon the most important fact connect
ed with this sad story, which is:
Egypt depended on foreign capital to
carry on her government and her pub
lie enterprises.
English capitalists were always on
hand ready and willing to advance gold
and take bonds bearing high interest.
The Egyptian statesmen we're either too
ignorant or too dishonest to issue their
own money before 1t was too late. They
were sound money statesmen. Now
their people are reduced to such a state
Of degradation that the fiat Of their gov
eminent would be Of little value. The
Egyptians are slaves. The United
States should take warninT Topeka

The organization Of national bankers
is already at work upon its financial
scheme, which 1t hopes to inflict upon
an 0ver-burdened, suffering people by
undue influence with the incoming con-
gresS.
Their plausible and seductive argu-
ment runs in this way: The govern
ment is called upon to maintain re-
serve OF $10O,000,0OO in gold, because
the government has issued legal ten
ders to the extent Of $346, 000, 900, which
are redeemable In gold, and when re-
deemed are again put out. The prac-
tical working OF such system forces
the government to issue bonds to main
tain the gold reserve; therefore, the
$346, 100000 legal tenders, or greebacks,
should be retired by issuing bonds for
them. The government would then no
longer be required to keep gold on hand
for redemption purposes; the confidence
in business circles would be restored
and the cause Of business depression
would be removed, says the Brockton,
Mass, Diamond.
This is the argument from the side
Of the banks. Incidentally, the banks
are to be authorized to issue their notes,
based on these new bonds, and these
bank notes are to take the place Of the
greenbacks, but the bankers do not
say so much about this.
That the government should be re-
lieVed Of the burden Of borrowing gold
to support a financial system that bene-
fits only the bankers is a very merito-
rlous proposition; but the method by
which it is to be accomplished, as sug-
gested by this bankers association, is
vicious in every sense Of the word and
will be opposed by populist congress-
men and others, who will endeaVor to
protect the interests Of the people.
The congressman who oppose this
scheme Of the banks will be denounced
as obstructionlsts; and upon them the
bankers and their cuckoos will en-
deavor to place the responsibility Of
retaining the present system and fore
ing another bond issue.
To expose the inslncerity Of this
banking clique, and to place the ques-
ton in such form that the people can
understand the principles involved,
calls for constructive craftsmanship on
the part Of our congressman who repre-
sent the people. They should agree
with the bankers that it Is worse than
useless for the government to be forced
to keep 800. 100000 in gold Of the peo-
pies money locked up and drawing in
terest out Of the earnings Of the wealth
producers, and should point out very
simple, feasible, practical plan that
would place the responsibility for such
a condition Just where It belongs.
That one simple, feasible, practical
plan is an amendment to the National
Banking act, providing that the reserve
dollars held by the national banks as
the basis Of their wind" dollars, shall
be constituted Of these legal tender
greenbacks.
The last statement Of the comptroller
Of the currency shows that the national
banks have issued about two thousand
million dollars Of bankers wlnd-called
credlt-and the reserve fund upon
which this volume Is based Is about

Here's q New Mosquito Remedy.

An enterprising young man, who is
part owner in q boat house down the
river, claims to have discovered something
that will be of inestimable value to
mankind if experience proves its worth.
The inhabitants of this down the river
boat house were nearly torn to pieces by
mosquitoes every time they attempted to
sleep in the house at night. Screens
seemed to be Of no avail, and it looked
at one time as if the house would have
to be abandoned. Finally an old lady
who lived in the neighborhood told
them that she had not been troubled by
mosquitoes for several yeas.
Her remedy was astonishingly simple.
She discarded all screens, and threw the
windows wide open at night. Across the
open space of the window she stretched Q
piece Of red ribbon about two inches
wide. "a mosquito" said she, "cannot
be induced to pass that ribbon. Why it
is SO I do not know, but I know the
natives Of India take this means of
battling the vicious mosquito. It works
to perfection here Also" The young
man followed instructions, and now
declares that there has not been Q
mosquito in the boat house since the
ribbon was stretched across the doors and
windows.-PhilGdelphia Record.

Fall Crop Irish Potatoes.

How to be Certain of Getting Good Stand.
(67) l especially want your valued in
formation on the best method for plant
ing and cultivating fall crop of Irish po-
tatoes. l planted and have now ma
turing some six acres of spring potatoes,
which want to replant for fall crop, and
want to adopt the best method. We are
trying to diversity crops little.
ANswER.-After several experiments
and some failures, whe have decided on
the following as the plan for producing q
crop Of fall potatoes. Many object to the
trouble of bedding the potatoes, but L
have mover obtained a perfect stand in
any other way, and the difference in the
number of healthy plants pays for the
trouble:
Dig the spring planted potatoes in the
early morning or late afternoon, and al
low them to lie in the sun. Spread in a
cool, shaded place, that they may become
thoroughly dried. As soon as dry, which
in bright weather, will be in few days,
select the smooth, medium size potatoes,
not the very large or very small ones, and
by all means not the uneven, knotty ones
Place these in layer, not touching each
other, in a moist and rather shaded piece
of land, and cover lightly (two or three
inches is sufficient and if q mulch can
be spread over the surface, so much the
better. Ifthe season is very dry, water
the bed, which is very much like sweet
potato bed, made ready to produce
slips, except that no manure is used and
the bed is level. When the potatoes be.
gin to sprout, take them up, and every
potato which has sprouted can be depen.
ded upon to produce a plant. Those
which have not sprouted can be put one
side and are still good for table use.
If the land was highly enriched for the
spring crop, no further fertilization is
necessary. We have had better success
by this plan, but, if fertilizer is needed, it
is better to apply and work we'll into the
soil previous to planting. Thoroughly
decomPosed stable manure may be used !,
but should not come in contact with the
potato. If commercial fertilizer is used,
select that in which potash predominates.
These may be applied in the drill, but
must be thoroughly worked into the soil
by running the plow two or three times
in the same furrow. Open the burrows
broad and deep, about 2 l-2 or 3 feet q
part. Plant the sprouted potatoes, un-
| cut in the bottom of the furrow about IL
or Is inches apart, and cover, frming the
soil over the potatoes After the plants
come up, gradually fill up the furrow
during cultivation, leaving it level at the
last blowing. Of course they should
be kept free from grass or weeds. Dig
before the cold entirely destroys the vines.
This plan is for field culture. If for the
smaller garden plat, fill the furrow within
2 or 3 inches of the top when the pota-
toes are planted, and cover the whole bed
with pine straw, or any other mulch
which will conserve moisture and keep
down weeds and grass. We have eaten
potatoes all the winter freshly dug from
our garden by mulching heavily before
the cold weather set in. If preferred,
they can be dug and saved in banks just
as for sweet potatoes, and with much
more certainty.-NeObern Journal.

Billions Of Cigarettes.

The experience of their damaging
effects, the frown of public opinion, the
ridicule and denunciation of the press and
hostile legislation all combined do not
seem to be equal to q combat with the
deadly cigarette.
During the past twelve months no less
than 8, 1888. .845, $50 of these pests were sold
in this country.
The United States Tobacco Journal
remarks that "the cigarette is the only
article in the tobacco industry which has
profted by the hard times" The hard
times drove many smokers from cigars to
the more vicious but less expensive
indulgence in cigarettes. The use of the
cigarette is constantly increasing in spite
of all the influences that are arraigned
against it
Recently an act was passed in West
Virginia placing q tax upon the sale oi
cigarettes which was practically prohibi.
tory, but it has been nulli6ed by q
decision of Judge Goff. of the United
States circuit court. He declared that
cigarettes may be sold in the original
packages and that the heavy tax is an
Interference with interstate commerce
The war on the cigarette will continue,
of course, but the mean little thing seems
to be able to more than hold it's own

Oppossd to a New Court House.

Citizens of Long Creek Township Advise Delay,
OrIt New Court House is to be Built, That
1t Be on the Fox or White Lot
BR1sTow, Mecklenburg county, Aug.
1O.-PursuaDt to notice, the citizens of
Long Greek township met at Bristow for
the purpose of giving an expression of
opinion upon the location of the pro-
posed new court house. 1t appears that
they do not think that the location selec.
ted by our county commissioners will
meet with the approval and expectations
of the majority of the citizens of the
county.
Thomas Gluyas was called to the chair
and r. D. Whitley requested to act as
secretary.
On motion the following preamble and
resolutions were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, We, the citizens of this (Long
Creek) township, under all the circum-
stauces-the tightness of money, the low
price of farm products, the prospect for
the next crop and other matters too nu-
merous to state-believe that the present
building with some repairs would answer
all purposes for this generation, there-
fore,
Resolved, That we most respectively
request our county commissioners at their
next meeting to reconsider the vote by
which they did decide upon the location
for the proposed new court house, and if
nothing but removal and new building
erected will suffice, we much prefer first
the Fox lot. and if that is not to be had
for a reasonable price, then and in thai
event our second choice would be the
White lot.
Resolved, End. We hope and request all
the townships of the county, together
with the four wards of the city of Char
lotte, to hold meetings before the Sep
tember nesting of our county commits.
sioners that the board will be better
enabled to act advisedly and carry out the

ceedings and that the other city papers
be requested to copy.
