ROPER, N. C.. March 81 am
thoroughly convinced it is time for
every patriot to step to the front,
and WELD whatever influence he may
have to take the reins of government
out Of the hands Of the two old
parties. They have proved them
selves wholly incompetent to enact
laws to meet the wants of the Amer
lean people. 1t seems to me that
the Chief Magistrate and his Secre-
tary have lost all interest in the
welfare of this once glorious country,
and are trying to bring it down to a
state of pauperism. "When the wick
cd rule the people mourn"
This country has never been in
such state of unrest since l776.
Even then the state of affairs was
not so bad as now. "To your tents

lead us out. appeal to all lovers
of free republican form Of govern
ment to rally to the support of the
free coinage of silver 16 to l candi-
date.
Cooperation with either of the
old parties on a line of principle
would be very desirable. But it i:
my honest opinion that We had bet

colors than to make any sacrifice.
We are fast gaining strength. L
the two old parties bring out a gold

BUILDING NOTES.
Business Very Quiet in New Haven At Some Shops Almost at a Stand

Business Very Quiet in New Haven
 At Some Shops Almost at Stand
 still.
 Builders generally in this city say that their business is very dull-few new building projects being at present undertaken owing to these silver times. Some builders say they never knew times in their line to be duller than they are at present.
 Some shops are running only from one quarter to one fifth their usual number of hands. At other shops the contractors have their men at work, or nearly all, but this is because they are working on unfinished contracts. No inprovement is looked for until after election, which with the builders, prac- tically means no new jobs of import ance until next spring. A few New Haven contractors are fortunate in having unfinished jobs of importance. Among them Is c. D. Kinney, the ma- son builder, who has about eighty men at work, mostly In Hartford, where he is erecting a fine $125,000 building for the Hartford Life and Annuity com pany. a new block of five fine stores, etc, for the Heubleins, which is just begun, and fine residence on Weth- ersfield avenue for Gail J. Munsi1l, a wealthy Hartforder. In this city he is erecting a fine house on Whitney ave- nue for Merritt Burwell and another on Edwards street for Prof. Duncan. The insurance building in Hartford is well advanced toward completion.
