THOUGHTS FOR LABOR DAY.
Today is Labor Day.

Today is Labor Day.
1t is altogether appropriate that
our government should set aside one
day in the year to be observed as a
holiday in honor of the great masses OF
laboring men. They are the bone and
snew Of our country. They produce
the magnificent wealth of which we
boast.
1t IS not improper TO note in THIS
connection the fact that the great bat
tie now being waged between the two
great parties IS of vital importance to
the labOrlng man.
We make the statement without any
fear of contradiction. Gold mono
neralsm has reduced, and if main
talEcd, will continue to reduce the
salaries and wages of professional and
Iaboring men. 1t does this in two
ways: "Flrst, by making money
scarce 1t increases its value, and COM
! pei, the laborer TO give more labor
!or every dollar he gets; second, by
| making money scarce, 1t Curtals con-
sumption, stops enterprises and throws
| IdbOrerS out of work. thus doubling
competition for work and decreasing
the ability to employ that work. Ev-
cry laborlng man in Charlotte knows
that what we are saying is true. 1t
will be suicidal for them to vote for
Mckinley and the gold standard.
Carpenters, brick masons, clerks, and
day laborers, all know that the ten
dency under the gold standard in the
past years has been to reduce salaries
and wages. Any man who votes for
a continuance of this policy by voting
:or Mckinley votes to reduce his
own salary and throw himself out of a
job.
VIII the free coinage of silver rem
edy these evils? 1t will not prove a
panacea for all our ills, but its effect
will be good. If it does what its ad
vocates believe it will do it will in
crease the amount Of money in crcu-
latlon. Increased circulation will
multiply new enterprises. New enter
prlses will make demand for more
laborers. Then we will be in this stu
alton. There will be greater de-
maid for labor and more money with
which TO pay labor. That will result,
IN higher wages and steadier employ
ment. That Is what we need. Tha,
is why we ought to vote for free coin
age.
Now, workingman, on which side o
this question does your interest liei
The working people of this countr,
are not going to be fooled this year.

1t seems that some concerns have
more politics than sense in the con
duct of their business. For instance
the DR.. Miles Medicine Co. on their
advertising propositions now have
this clause:
1t is also agreed that should the
free silver candidate Bryan be elected,
the DR.. Miles Medicine Co. have the
privilege Of cancelling the contract.'
This IS very foolish. 1t would be
well, perhaps, for people to try 20 get
along without the medicines of this
concern. Perhaps 1t is fit only for
gold bugs-kinston Free Press.

its gold standard sentiments upon
publishers and others. Further I'M

Bankrupt Owners Of Titles Seeking q
Market-They Are Willing to Trade
Aristocratic Honors for Cold Cash.

New York, Dec. lie Cercle de las
Noblesse" is the high sounding title
of a club just organized in this city
with headquarters at 10 East Thirty
second street, which has for its osten-
sible purpose the provision of a rem
devious for foreign noblemen in Ameri-
ca and the facilitation of their move
ments, social and otherwise" The
heads of the organization are the Duke
D'Auxy. his brother. Count D'AuXy,
and Count Rene Wohlfarth. and its real
purpose is said to be the promotion of
marriages between bankrupt European
noblemen and American women of for
tune. The work has already been be-
gun by the preparation of a list which
contains the name. age, description,
habits and approximate fortune of
every unmarried woman in this coun-
try who is worth more than $l.000,OOO or
whose probable dowry will amount to
that much. Detectives and agents are
to be employed to meet these girls So
cially and introduce to them the Wife
hunting noblemen of the Cercle de las
NOblesse.
After the introduction. diplomatic
business chats will be had with the
socially ambitious papas and mammas
of Americas fair ones. and the cOron-
cts and their wearers will be actually
bought for the dear girls in cold blood
These agents will be women in reduced
circumstances whose old family names
and attractive manners give to them
that prestige and influence which the
impoverished mobiles of Europe have
been unable to secure. 1t will be, in
fact. an International matrimonial bu-
reau which will receive a commission
of per cent. on all fortunes which
its members through its influence may
secure by marriage.
Not the least interesting feature Of
this stuoendOus scheme Is the sincere
cooperation of the Daughters Of the
Revolution with the members of the
club. No less a parsonage than Mrs.
Flora Adams Darling. founder-general
of that organization and of numerous
other patriotic societies in this coun-
try. has consented to be a friend of the
Cercle de las Noblesse. and Is enthusi-
astic In sounding its praises. Mrs.
Darling knows nothing about the per
cent. commission on heiresses won.

TESLA'S EXPERIMENTS.
An Exhaustive Communication on Tess
Of the X Rays-The Blind Cannot
Be Relieved.

New York. Dec 1.-The Electrical
Review will publish tomorrow an eX
haustive communication from Nikola
Tesla on his latest experiments with
the Y ray, which it characteriZes as
conveying wealth of suggestion and
most important and timely informa-
tion. Tesla states that the sun burn
effects noted by so many experiment.
ers are not due directly to the rays, or
Roentgen streams, but to the ozone
generated by the rays in contact with
the skin. "The radical means of pre-
venting such action is to make impos-
sible the access fair to the skin while
exposing. as, for instance, by INNER
sions in oil"
The inventor in referring to the re-
Gently widely heralded experiment for
making the blind see by means of the
Roentgen rays. regretfully remarks:
rs it not cruel to raise such hopes
when there is SO little ground for it?
For first of all, the rays are not de-
monstrated to be transverse vibrations.
If they were, we would have to find
means for refracting them to make
possible the projection Of a sufficiently
small image upon the retina. AS 1t Is
only shadow of very small Nct
can be protected. What possible good
can result from the application of these
rays to such purposes. I cannot con-
firm some of the experiments report
ed. For instance, when hand Is put
before the closed eyes 1t Is easy to dis
tinguish the shadow. much the same
as before the light of a candle. but
when the tube is enclosed. and all the
light from the same excluded, l fail
to get such an impression. The latter
is. therefore, chiefly due to ordinary
light"
