The time is near when they (the
banks) will feel compelled to act
strongly. Meanwhile a very good
thing has been done. The machinery
is now furnished by which, in any
emergency, the financial corporations
OF the East can act together on a
single days notice with such power
that no act of Congress can overcome
or resist their decisiOn.-New York
Tribune.
eff the workingmen had no vote

to the hard times."-IndianapOlis News
(dem).
"The capitalists have bought and
are buying largely the associated press,
and are controlling the avenues of in
tclligence."-William WindOn (rep.).
IT it is possible to inaugurate q
greater system of robbery of the peo-
pies money THAN the State banks |,
that system has been inaugurated in
the present system of national banks.
The money lost by the people under
the old system of State banks is a
mere bagatelle when compared to that
which has been and will be taken
from them under the present system
OF national banks.-Jas. G. Blaine.
My agency in procuring the pas
sage of the National Bank Act was the
greatest financial mistake of my life.
1t has built up monopoly that effects
every interest in the country. 1t
she II be repealed. But before this
can be accomplished the people will be
arrayed on one side and the banks on
the other III contest such as we have
never seen in this country.-SalmOn

North Carolina Tobacco Crop.

Tobacco is a staple of North Caro-
lima. Last year the planters cultiva-
ted S2,OOO.0OO pounds of tobacco, SELL
ing it for little less than an average
of nine cents a pound. The tobacco
manufacturers of the State used nearly
half of the product, their output being
about 100000 worth. This year
there is a prospect for larger crop.
But the product is far below the 2O3,-
100000 pounds in Kentucky, which is
the heaviest tObaccO-prOducing terri
tory in the world. North Carolina has
in operation $50 tobacco manufactur-
ing establishments, 76 warehouses, and
229 leaf factories, stemmeries, and
prize-hOuses, representing altogether
a money investment of over $26, GOO, 600.

Democratic Low Water Mark.

Washington Post
The retirement of Mr.. Cobb, of Ala
bama, from the membership of the
House, reduces the Democratic repre-
sentation in that body to ninety-nine,
the lowest since the Forty-third Con-
gress, when they had but lightweight.
The Democrats reached the high-water
mark in the House in the Fifty-second
Congress, when they had total men,
bership of $50, which was reduced in
the Fifty-third Congress to 200, and to
1O4 in the beginning of the present
one. Probably five or six Democrats
are still to go out before the session
closes.
The Republicans have reached the
high water mark of their existence in
the present Congress, in which they
have $50 members. The lowest num-
Der by which they were ever represent
ed was ninety-twO, in the Thirty-fifth

LAUGHING AT wATTERSON.

It is rather unfortunate that the east
ern papers do not take Henri Waiter
sons interview from Paris seriously.
There are numerous references to the
.'effects Of Swiss wine' and other like
frivolities.
Watterson was as serious as a man
could be. He pointed out dangers to the
east which it ought to be able to COM
prehend, which it must comprehend
sooner or later if it is to be on the win
ming side in national politics and legis-
lation.
New England and New York ought tO
lock UP their funny men for while and
let their serious business men and writ
ers get 10 work on the troubles and dan
gers of the times. They are really worth
their solicitude. Watterson pointed
them out gravely and plainly and the
disposition TO make fun of them is dis
couraging.
IF the New York papers will reflect
that elections fiuctuate from party 10
party and winnings alternate every
four years. that the Republican party
has just Won aud the Debs and Altgelds
are still alive and in their party are still

The rather strange circumstance OF
the capital city of the country being
turnen into a paradise for tramps can

tramps did not know they had any pollt-
ical capital or national capital until

marched on the town. Since, however,

their places are taken by new travellers.

again to get nominations and elections
in the interior have at last decided to see
the capital of the nation any way.
