the evidence they produce, that tue Declaration of Independence of 1776 by the American Congress is almost literal copy of the Mecklenbnrg Declaration of 1nde- pendence passed by the delegates of Mecklenburg County, of N. C., in Convention assembled at Char lotte, on the 1920 days of May IT. 75, nearly fourteen months before the Continental Congress took the step which made us an independ ent people.
 Without giving the matter a further investigation than the reading of the article by these writers VIC would not say that as great n man as Thos. Jefferson, had been guilty of apptopriating the labors of others to his own glory, without proper credit; but if he did, taking into account the great and lasting good we have Gus q people and nation) received from it, we are willing to overlook il and forgive him this. time, feeling confident that it will be the last.

OUR gold bug contemporaries contend that because cotton is now bringing q fair price in the ma' k cts the people should cease their cry for the free coinage of silver. But, seriously speaking. is there good reason for this contention? Because cotton brings renumnera- tive prices, owing entirely to a short crop, is that a good reason. or a reason at all, why we should continue to issue bonds and bor- row gold to run our government when we have plenty of silver on hand to pay the government ex- peuses?

Apples and Pota toes.

Corn is not the only agricultural product that has broken the crop record this year. Our crop of ap- pies is expected to exceed 5000, 900, and according to some esti mates it will reach 10,000,000 bushels, or about 3,000,000 more than the largest mum Der ever here tofore produced in single year.
 Reports from New York City speak very favorably of Missouri's $ product in the apple market there. The largest receipts from outside the StRte of New York are from Missouri. And they are of an ex- ceptionally good quality, as rule.
 Potatoes. too, have broken the record this year So says the New York Press, an authority on the subject. The largest crop heretofore was that of 1891, esti mated at 225, 100000 bushels. The smallest since 1885 was that ot 1887-a little over 34,000,000 bnsh els. The crop Of 1890 was not much larger. The average for the nine years is 173,000,000. or about 2,000,000 bushels more that last years crop. This years will probably exceed 230,000, 900 bush eIs.- Republic.

THERE is said to be trouble brewing s,etwecn this Govern ment and Great Britain over Ven zuele possessions. But if this country should get into trouble with England, what on earth would become of us? We would have no place to run to borrow money to keep up the gold re- serve. We cannot afford to go to war with England, for the gold reserve must be maintained, you know.

Nicaraguan Canal.

The commercial bodies in the leading Pacific coast cities are busily engaged stirring up popu- lar sentiment in favor of the build ing ot the Nicaragua Canal by the Government. They have prepar- ed pamphlets setting fcrth the great advantages of the canal and ask the people to demand of their Congressmen that they vote for the canal at the next session of Congress.
 The Pacific coast interests strongly depreeate tbe methods that were adopted in the last Con- gress to kill the Nicaragua bill in the House after it had passed the Senate and urge that the new Con- gress take the question up ear J and push it enorgetically to conclusion.

 ruptcy ( . moment it adopts such 8 course. Why not a government business too?
 Let US look at the situation. For the fourth time since Mr. Cleve- land adopted the present financial policy he has been confronted with the alternative of falling helpless at the feet of bond buyers and pleading for loar, or else permitting the peoples treasury to lapse into "dishonor." Ignor ing the plain letter of the law that the Governments obligations are redeemable in "coin," he has encouraged avarieious money kings to raid the gold reserve un- til it has run below the century line for the fourth time since he put Mr. Carlisle in charge of the treasury department. At this time the gold reserve is several million dollars short of the hund- red million mark, and the only vislble plan of relief, under the Cleveland policy, is to sell more bonds, thereby increasing the debt which the people are taxed to pay.
 With candid business men that sort of fuaneiering does not look wise; nor does it seem sensible. How long can it be carried on? When will it end? Who are the henefcinries? Certainly none but the bond buyers it IS not business!
 If Mr. Carlisle would make a speech to the cormorants who per sistently and relentlessly raid his gold reserve somewhat after this fashion, he would readily see that the raiders would cease to annoy him and his reserve: "Gentlemen, we have run short on gold coin. We have an enormous accumula- ton of silver coin on hand. Un- der the law passed by the peoples Congress your paper is redeema- ble in coin. Send around your weeIbarrows and Tll load them up with silver coin and take in lieu thereof your greenback and treas nry notes, l prefer them any way to such huge stacks of silver. Notify your English friends and pals that have at last made up my mind to comply with the lettor and spirit of the law. Tho welfare of this country, instead of that of a few thousand miilionaires, shall henceforth command and enlist and engage my attention so long a. l am entrusted with their fnan eal affairs We say if Mir. Car lisle should make such speech 10 the Morgan Belmont Rothschild bond syndicate it would not be a fortnight until the organized money kings would stop prating about money panic, nor would it be two weeks until there would be no more talk of another bond issue.
 A little practical, legal business sense applied to the operations of the Government financial affairs right now and determined repu- diation of the demands of opulent money syndicates would squelch once tor all time the hullabaloo raised every few months about the condition of the precious gold re- serve. In the language of the able Philadelphia Americans: "Placing silver side by side with gold. by opening the mlnts to the coinage of both at the ratio of 1s to 1 and in unrestricted quantities is the only practicable way to mantain specie payments" And it's the on ly business way to conduct success fully this great nations financial affairs.-Cia Ciarioa-Appeat.
