RAISING PRICES BY LAW.

The New York Herald eagerly asks:
Does any sensible farmer really
suppose that the markets of the world
which take our surplus will permit our
Congress and President to tx and
maintain prices by law7 Is any farmer
so simple as actually to think that the
price of what he has to sell can be
raised by a trick of legislation without
increasing in like ratio what he has to
buy9"
Does not any sensible newspeperman
know that prices can be raised by law?
d. not the trusts and combines throng
Congress every session for the purpose
of securing legislation to raise prices7
Do not the high tariff advocates claim
that a good stiff tariff will not only
raise the price of products, but that it
will also raise the wages Of labor? Did
not the demonetiz alton of silver lower
the price of that materials Did not the
repeal of the Sherman law not only
knock the price Of silver silly, but re-
duce prices On production and the
wages of labor3 The man who asserts
that Law will not affect prices is out of
date

CaURNING DONE IN TWO MIN
UTES.

I have tried the Lightning Churn
you recently described in your paper,
and it is certainly a wonder. I can
churn in less than two minutes, and
the butter is elegant, and you get con-
siderable more butter than when you
use a common churn. took the agency
for the churn here and, every butter
maker that sees it buys one I have
sold three dozen and they give the best
of satisfaction. 1 know I can sell 100
in this township, as they churn so
quickly, make so much more butter
than common churns and are so cheap.
Some one in every township can make
5000 or $500 selling these churns. By
writing to W. H, Baird 6 Co., 14O S.
Highland Ave-, Station a, Pittsburgh,
Pa, you can get circulars and full in
so you can make big money
at home. I have made $50 in the
past two weeks and I never sold any
thing before in my life.

"They have tried it and like it, and
the more Populisn they get the better
they like it," is what the Times says of
the large majority of the Democratic
party of to day. Liking a thing after
trying it, is a good recommendation.
Hetofore it has been the misfortune of
the people to try things, and then not
like them. The people have tried the
Cleveland Democracy advocated by
the Times, and they are done with it
forever. Let the entire country try
Populism, and the people will like it so
well that it will be a long time before
they will want something better.-Vir-
ginia Sun.

TAYLORsvILLE N. O.,

October 10, 1896.
Please give us space in your valuable
paper for the following, until after
November 3 1896:
Farmers, mechanics and all others
who are in favor of the q per cent. in
terest law, I want to say, vote for no
man who is in favor of the repeal of
this law. Vote for no man who will
not pledge himself to it's support, either
Populist, Democrat Or Republican.
Repeal this law and what will be the
result9 Let US see. ALI notes now
made payable in 81 will have to be
changed to s or 10 per cent. or paid at
once.
What will it be worth to the fertili-
gar companies of this State. All notes
for fertilizer will be made for 8 or 10
per cent.
1t will only benefit those who can
live better without it than you can
with it. A word to the wise is sufficient.

Dors to prevent you from realizing that
all Of our hopes and desires as POpu.
lists are at stake in the results of this
campaign. Let me appeal to you to
sink every minor consideration and
unite with every other man who op.
poses foreign domination and monopoly
rule to lin hands in pilIng up a big
majority in North Carolina for the
j}int electoral ticket. We must not
let any embarrasments and disappoint-
ments about the VIce~P Presidency or
any other question prevent Us from do
ing u full duty as Populists and
patriots to defeat the common enemy
at this critical hour.
Finally let me appeal to every man
who voted to send me to the United
States S3uate because he believed in
the principles which l advocated, and
for which party stands to now
vote TO put in the White House a man
who will not veto every measure that
you sent me to Washington to labor
and contend for. II Mckinley is cleo
ted, then for the next four years, up to
the last hour Of my term as Senator,
there IS not the slightest hope of a
single principle Of the Peoples party,
Or OF a single measure that I have and
will advocate and vote for in the Senate,
ever becoming a law. In short, if Nc.
K'nley is elected President I might sue;
coed in passing measures dear to your
heart and to mine and to every pa
%triOt's, but it would be labor lost and
times would grow harder. IL McKtn-
ley Is elected all that I can do is to
stand on the flor Of your National
legislative halls and contend for your
rights, and expose and denounce the
policy of Mckinley and Cleveland but
[ will be able to accomplish nothing to
right your wrongs.
Our information at headquarters
shows that the tide has turned against
Mckinley and his Hanna Doodle cam
paign in the great Central West. The
outlook now is that we will sweep that
whole section and carry the country
triumphantly. But l must warn you
that Mark Hanna is boldly claiming
North Carolina. I do not believe that
such can happen. But let it not be the
fault of a single Popu!ist if it does. l
appeal to you every 4 to go to work
as you have never done before and roll
up a maj ,rity large and decisive. In
short, exert every effort to put that
bold and sterling American patriot,
William J. Began, in the White House;
and, l pledge you, that before the GeS1
four years shall end you will see many
Populist measures signed by the Pres;-
dent Of the Uni!ed States and become
laws of the land.
My friends, this is the greatest strug
gle for human liberty and human
justice that has been waged since 1875
Let US line up in solid phalanx and do
the full duty of Populists and patriots
Do this and the victory is won.
Yours in the fight,

MANY NOVELTIES IN FURNITURE.

Prospective Christmas purchasers who have no.
decided what manner OF goods 10 buy may ge;
some practical and suggestive hints by looking
through the George G. Flint Companys imposing
furniture store No. 43 to Il West Twentyth!rd-st.
The usual display OF artistic goods to be seen there
is augmented by a line OF novelties offered to this
months buyers at tempting reductions. The firm
finds that II has somewhat anticipated the publics
taste In point Of oddities In furniture and has
cordngly reduced prices. These curioslties are
none the less beautiful or substantially put to-
gether for all that and offer striking opportunities
to housekeepers who seeking new drawing
room chairs or settees OF unique patterns. Dainty
escritoirs also be noticed In this stock. some
deliberately decorated with inlaid mahogany. and
others in plain mahogany. with inlaid lines. Tho
firms popular china closets well represented at
present. They come In square form. or triangular
shaped to fit into a corner. The Sheraton closets
and those OF carved oak and inlaid mahogany, with
glass doors and shelves and cupboards beneath. are
especially attractive In design. Here also are
bic Morris chairs in tapestry and plush, with
the brass-rod adjustment that permits the back
to be PLACED at any desired angle. The Vcrnis Mar
tin finish. prominent In the FIRMS furniture novel;
ties. ia conspicuous here chairs and tables.
satinw BOD and white mahogany. are the popular
largely In demand. Hand-painted curo closets.
onyx-topped drawng-room tables. and clocks sup
piled with Westminster chimes. are among the
many desirable things OF the firms manufacture.
That they make their own goods II q point worth
noting BY those who value economy.

WORK on THE NEW CATHEDRAL.

THE DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED IN LAYING THE
FouNpATIoNs-CosT OF CONSTRUCTION.
In some Of the reports which appeared yesterday
,ntimat!ng that Bishop Potter would until Marcn
l. devote himself entirely to the work OF raising
funds for the completion Of the new Protestant
Episcopal Cathedral descriptions were given OF the
work that has 80 far been done. Mention was made
OF the fact that 5000 had been paid for the
ground on which the building will stand. but moth
ing was said Of the amount expended on the work
that has already been completed. The inference re-
NAMED. in consequence. that this work had not
been paid for
ANY misapprehcnslon that may exist In this re-
spec, was dispccd yesterday by George NJ Miller.
the secretary OF the administrative body that IS
directing the building OF the cathedral. To Trib
,nc reporter who him at his office. No. 80
Broadway Mr. Miller said: I'm addition TO the
land which we have acquired we have spent $50. 900
upon the building so far as II has progressed The
great difficulty had in securing proper founda-
tions for the structure account Of the unsatis-
factory condition of the ground bereath required
us to cxcavate in some places for over sixty feet
and MI In the space with solid cement. This. to-
gether with the fact that the foundations OF the
cathedral. where the tower is 10 stand. Will carry
the heaviest weight In the world. except perhaps
the western tower OF the Brooklyn Bridge, and the
fact that In building for the choir We had also TO
construct the foundations for the tower Itself has
required n very large expenditure both OF time and
money However. all that has now been done has
been paid for and the walls OF the choir have been
brought what Is called the water table level u
IL very earnestly desired by the trustees TO com
petc the choir soon possible which Will be In
about year or eighteen months. This Will require
the outlay OF another million OF dollars. but when
it is erected II will be edihce more capacious
than any In NewYork. and can be utilized at once
as centre OF work and for securing those advan-
tagcs which n cathedral Is expected to give to the
church and community at large.
Some years ago the trustees set apart the
amount to he received from the estate OF Mrs.
Cole and the estate OF Mrs. Edison as an endow-
ment fund: and further provided that after GER
tain amount had been expended on construction. OF
all further amounts received half should be set
aside for endo yment and half for building purposes
until the endowment fund reached x0o0,0O0. We
have now on hand between three and four hundred
thousand dollars. We anticipate. however. that the
Bishops effort Will bring In at least 81 200, and
