Catarrh starts In the nasal passages affecting
eyes, ears and throat, and is in fact, the great
enemy of the mucous membrane. Neglected
colds In the head almost invariably precede
catarrh causing an excessive flow Of mucus, and
If the mucous discharge becomes interrupted the
disagreeable results of catarrh will follow, such
as bad breath, severe pain across forehead and

cure for these troubles.

the CRUISER "RAlEIGH."

The southp~ Leaders, Effort to Keep up
Usual Custom.
When the building of new vessels
for the u. ). Navy was completed some
time ago, one Of them was named for
the city of Raleigh. A number of
vessels are named for other cities of
the United States, and it has become
custom for city after which q vessel
was named to return the compliment
by presenting to its namesake some
present or testimonial of good will.
There has been no failure to do this
except in the case of Raleigh. The
cruiser which bears this name has been
in commission for some months, but as
yet Raleigh has no. expressed the usual
appreciation by the usual presenta-
ton. When this cruiser was first
nawed the sait", THE CAUCASIAN
procured a oeautiiui no.,Io.
sci from the Navy Department and
put it on exhibition in Raleigh with a
hope that it would create some enthu-
siasm, but to little effect. The bust
ness Jagged awfully. Finally the
Southport Leader, being near the
coast, and knowing that the officers
and crew of the Raleigh felt aggrieved
at the slight, put upon them, and the
editor Of the Leader being a "tarheel"
who could not patiently hear the in
sinuating remarks concerning his cap
ital city as compared to the action Of
other cities, determined to make the
matter one of State interest. He began
a popular subscription, and has met
encouragement enough to induce him
to keep up his effort.

A casual glance q. the circulars, let
tiers &C., here given will forever re-
move from any fair mind any doubt ~
to the existence Of . money Power"
or that this Power" manipulates gov
eminent officials and brides the old
party press in its interest. The three
main links Of the chain are the noted
Bank circulars:
This one Issued BY an agen. g London cap
itslists TO the New York capitalists ia 1852.
The Ha..rd Circular.
Slavery 10 likely to be abolished by
the war power, and chattel slavery de-
stroyed. This, l and my European
friends are in favor Of, for slavery is
but the owning Of labor and carries
with it the care Of the labOrer, while
the European plan, led on by England,
IL for capital to control labor by con-
trolling the wages. This can be done by
controlling the money. The great debt
that capitalists will see to it is made
out OF the war must be used as means
to control the volume Of money to ac-
com plish this the bonds must be used
as a banking basis. We are now wait
ing for the secretary Of the treasury to
make the recommendation to Congress.
II will not do to allow the greenback,
as it is called, to circulate as money
any length Of time, as we cannot con-
troll that.
Some confirmation Of the fact that
the British "MOney Power" held the
views set forth in this circular may be
seen in Prof. David Christy's pulpit
Politics" He is the author Of "CottOn
is King" The book was published in
1862. We quote:
1.-The English people have deduced
four theories from the facts (abOve) de-
tailed page 3):
| /. "That the slave trade is incOm-
patible with African evangelizatiOn.
2. "That slavery, wherever it pre-
walls, is adverse to an increase of pop
ulatiOn.
3. THAT slavery presents an insup-
cradle barrier to the evangelizatiOn OF
the Africans, subject to its control.
4. THAT free labor is more profitable
than slave labOr-the labor OF one fret
man, under the stimulus, wages, beine
more productive than that of tive
slaves, tOiling under the dread of thu
