AN ADDRESS
OF Peculiar Interest to Far:
mGrS and Other Pro-
duCGrS.

Feellng that we, cltlZens OF Nortn
Carolina, who favor the present stand
ard of value THAT is the Gold Stand
ard) have been often wilfully misrepre-
sented and that our opinions have
been misunderstood or not properly
made known to the great mass of
voters, we take this method of stating
our position to the Agricultural, Man.
ufacturing and Commercial Glasses Of
our Commonwealth.
The Gold Standard wing yields not
a hairs breadth in patriotism and is
as enthusiastic and more deadly in
earnest to secure such a State Govern
ment, as all may be proud of, than
any other element in the Democratic
party.
The prime necessity Of the farmer,
ARE for crops, handiwork and
manufactured articles. Whatever de-
stroys such an outlet for products cuts
off income and strikes at the tap root
of prosperity; it takes away the
ability to educate children, to start
them in life at the point where their
fathers left off and to provide for old
age. The agitation for free silver
tends to close up the farmers market,
to cut off the laborer's income and to
stop the business mans profit; be-
cause all changes disturb trade and SO
violent a one as would occur in the
currency (which is the life-blood of
trade) by the free coinage of silver
would bring to a stand-still
for a number of years. Business men
would refuse to buy because of the IN
certainty of being able to sell again /;
factories would shut down and wages
stop because merchants would not
dare order goods which might be
worth less han they cost in a few
months laborers and mechanics, the
chief consumers of food and clothes,
without money to buy, would cause
the demand for these articles, the raw
materials for which the farmers supply,
to dwindle to almost nothing. Surely
with business at a stand-still, factories
closed and operatives out of work, the
prospect for the tiller of the soil would
not be a happy one.
No one more fully realizes than the
advocates of the gold standard how
essential are an abundant supply of
money and low rate of interest 20 the
development of Southern resources.
It cannot be denied that labor and
capital must go hand in hand, as
neither can stand alone, one being
helpless without the other; therefore,
a fair return OF an investment of cap.
ital must accompany good wages. The
more successful the enterprise, the
greater ability to pay higher wages
and the greater number to be EN-.
ployed. To encourage this state o
things is the farmers chief interest
because he is the producer of tn.
necessities of life; hence, the NOR,
wage earners the more buyers, til,
wider the market and the louder tn,
call for what he has t sell. A fire,
coinage measure would inevitabl,
drive away capital, alarm investor
and be followed By such hard time
that the panic of '93 would seem onl,
the shadow of reality.
Those who favor the gold standar,
wish to see as much silver employe,
as can be used without producing tw
standards of value /; they desire in n
way to curtail the present effective
ness of silver as a medium of exchange

ing to use each in the way and to the
extent found most available.
The enactment of a bill for the free
coinage of silver would not make
money plenty, as is often asserted. but
on the contrary would cause first q
stringency of several years. duration
and then gradual infation; nine
tenths of the farmers and ten-tenths of
those of small means would find them
selves financially Frustrated before in
fation began; they would be reduced
in circumstances to the condition of
day laborers, and day laborers would
become objects of charity. This is
not an ~extravagant statement as is
made clear through these reasons.
Approaching legislation looking to
free coinage of silver would be first
discovered by owners Of capital,
probably in season for them to pro-
tect themselves and perhaps ever to
make a profit of coming misfortunes ;
the first move would be the disappear
ance of gold and all notes and bills
payable in gold, through boarding or
otherwise next interest rates would
advance; then merchants would call
in credits and cease to sell except for
cash.
Now 95 per cent. of oil business is
done by the transfer of credits THAT
is by balancing one account against
another, by checks. drafts, bills of
lading and bills of exchange) and five
per cent. by cash; therefore in a
change from credit to spot cash, 95
per cent. of all the business of the
country would stop. In this fact
alone lies o guarantee of the hardest
times ever known.
But if it is claimed that here is
where the opportunity for silver would
come in, it may be seen how futile
and empty a claim it is, when it is
found that the commercial transact
tions alone of the United States
amount to one hundred million dol
lars $500, o0o, o0o) per day. To sup
ply a silver currency of sufficient vol
ume to fill all demands would occupy
the minis working day and night q

time there would be great wailing and
crashing of teeth, with abundant
cause therefor.

It is O wise and safe conclusion that
those who preach a contrary doctrine
have the farmers interest less at heart
than a desire to be supported out of
the public crib at the expense of the
farmer and other taxpayers. Legisla-
ton that makes it possible to settle
debts by paying so cents on a dollar
can never bring prosperity to the
South, for hard headed business men
and manufacturers, who must figure
down to the fraction of O cent in the
cost of a yard of cloth to make a
profit, will shun a section las though
it was stricken with the plague) that
sends delegates to Congress to make
such statutes.
Finally, we ask the cooperation of
all to whom this address may come,
in the spreading abroad of the truth,
heartily believing the right will pre-
vail when the facts are brought out
and that the Government of the Com
monwealth will again be placed in
charge of its best citizens.

his city is getting as good milk supply as
is obtained by either of its neighbors. He
denies that the Oakland system of inspec-
tion is inferior to that which has troubled
the milkmen here.
DR.. Tom Carpenter, who performs the
veterinary work for Alameda and who has
been one of the leading men in perfectlng
that city thorough system, admits that
stations for the daily inspection OF milk
that comes to San Francisco is OF very
great Importance. He agrees with In
spector Dockery entirely.
In Alameda, he said, there is not SO
much need of the stations, for with only
twenty-five or thirty dairies to watch the
inspectors can get along better without the
stations than in San Francisco, where
there are more than 600 dealers. lie

watch is kept of verybody connected with

cows, and strict precautions are taken
where there is a case of typhoid fever or OF
any contagious or infectious disease IN the

The milk ordinance recently adopted by
the San Francisco Board of Health is re-
garded as the most elaborate in existence,
its provisions being based on the expert
ence of nearly all the large American
cities.
Seven of its sections, which alone would
occupy an entire column of newspaper,
define the powers Of the Board OF Health,
state the registration requirements, etc.,
and then the ordinance continues:
Section g. The terms adulterated, impure,
unhealthy and unwholesome as used in this
ordinance mean:
First-Milk containing less than twelve (12)
per centum of milk solids.
Second-Milk containing more than eighty
eight (SS) per centum of water or fluids.
