THE REAL ISSUE.

When Thomas Jefferson declared
that banks are more dangerous than a
standing army, he did not mean to
attack the legitimate business of bank
ing, as some suppose, says an ex.
change.
He approved and encouraged legiti
mate banking as one of the great con-
veniences of civilization. He was con-
7inced, however, that business could
not remain prosperous nor value stable
while corporations OF individuals were
allowed by Government to impose the
certificates of their indebtedness on
the public as a circulating medium.
The distinguishing character of JEFF
terson's mind was common sense. He
kneW that a dollar of debt is q hum
dred cents less than a dollar of cash,
and he saw that the use of the finest
silk paper and the most. ornamental
a bank could use in putting this hun.
dred cents less than nothing into circu-
lation could not prevent it from being
at once added to the total outstanding
debt of the business world. He saw
that every dollar of such an increase
in debt threatened business, and he
expected that there would be areadjust-
ment of values accompanied by con
vulsion every twenty or thirty years
as long as corporation credit paper is
allowed TO circulate as cash.
Such considerations made Jefferson
an advocate of a cash RE az ON.

He thought it foolish and dangerous
to surrender the sovereign power Of
issuing money to private individuals
or to corporations.
His views are not antiquated. The

RANGES AND OTHER THINGS.

A Chatham county subscriber writes
that he fell a victim to the patent cook
ing range men who are doing that
county now. We can't help it, The
man who walks into the snares set by
agents may always expect to get his
leg pulled. The article purchased may
or may not be a good thing. But you
can always be sure of two things: that
the article is of no account or else the
price is double what the same may be
purchased for from q reliable dealer.
Agents sell cooking ranges at sixty-odd
dollars, while the price is actually less
than half, or ought to be. We have
repeatedly advised our readers to avoid
swindlers or travelling dealers who sell
at exorbitant profits. We do not mean
that all agents are swindlers, but a
good many of them are. Buy what
ever you buy from reliable dealers,
men who are not here to-day and gone
tomorrow. This will hold good year
after year, rain or shine.

issue now is not be tween the use
of gold and silver as money, but be-
tween the currency of private debt
put i'm circulation on Government pa
per with a quasi Endorsement from the
Government, constituting in fact a
loan of the Government credible
tween that currency representing less
than zero and currency of cash issued
from the public mints and represent
ing a hundred cents TO the dollar.
It is only throught a currency OF cash
that we can have business stability.
A credit currency means a panic every
ten or fifteen years. Every dollar of
corporation debt that the Government
allows to circulate as cash is a panic
producer.
The issue is between such panic pro,
ducers on the one hand and the money
of the mints on the other. There is
no other issue in our finances now.
There will be no other in thenext cam
paign. The question every business
man, every worker, every farmer,
every American interested in the pros
perity of his country must answer, is:
"Are you for or against the use of
cash as money!"

PRACTICAL ALLIANCE WORK.

All admit that this is a day Of or
CARNATIONS. 1t is a corporation, a
get together sort of-a-way of doing
things before anything is done. This
we.ind to be the rule in this day and
generation, writes Col. d. P. Duncan,
| Secretary-Treasurer of the National
Alliance, in the Cotton Plant.
In all milling, mining, manufacture
ing and new business development this
combination advantage ought and
should be used by all interested. This
rule, plan or arrangement, whatever
you may call it, seems to work with
more friction and with less satisfaction
with the farmer organizations than
with any other class of citizens. y '
The Alliance has passed through its
days of probation; those who received
ssed in stony places, or where there
was no soil, have sprung up, grown for
a day, then withered and passed away;
these were those who were looking for
something for nothing" There is a
practical and q business feature in-the
Alliance organization, and in those
States where this department has had
sensible business consideration the
Alliance is on a solid basis. In the
Eastern States particular attention has
been paid this department. of Alliance
work. In the last thirty days the
National Secretary has been applied to
for outfits for 100 new sub-Alliances in
the State Of Pennsylvania and for
twenty in the State of New York.
The National Constitution was so
amended at the Raleigh meeting as to
allow the States to themselves regulate
the membership in towns and cities.
The result of this will bring into the
organization a large number of mem
bers Of wage-workers in the manufac-
turing towns of the East, and it is the
business feature that is attracting
their attention and which is drawing
them to the organization.
We are sometimes amused by the
statement made by some members Of
the public press. They appear to
believe that the Alliance has served its
day, is in it's last throes," that politics
and politicians have ridden it to it's
death. The strength of the organiza-
ton is the fact that it has stood all
these things and is still alive and
healthy. Don'G be led astray by the
false statements. What we want most
is a clean-cut, aggressive business de-
partment in all the States and a united
action of our people on this line.
