DR.. MERGERS CANDIDACY.
Editor of the Tarboro "Southerner'
Makes an Explanation.

10 the Editor: In order that the
people of the Second Congressional
district may understand the action of
the Edgecombe county convention in
endorsing DR.. w. z. Mercer after the
"Southerner" had come out for DIR.
II. IL. Speight, desire to make a state
ment in behalf of both these gentle
men.
/. When DIR. Speight's friends first
announced that he would be a candi-
date for Congress, DIR. Mercer was not
a candidate, and said that he would
under no condition, oppose DIR. Speight
Prior to the county convention, only
a few days, / think it was, Dr.
Speight announced to his friends that
he would not accept their endorse
ment, His reasons were that he could
not afford TO give up at this time a
large practice that he is now enjoying
in the county, and furthermore, his
other duties at home with his fami-
ly and friends would not allow him
to go into politics on so extensive
scale.
2. DR.. Speight was one of the first to
suggest DIR. MERGERS name, and in the
convention gave DR.. Mercer the full
support of his township. There has
never been any conflict between these
two gentlemen as to the county en-
dorsement and after DR.. Speight had
declined to make the race for the NOM
nation, DR.. Mercer consented to enter
the contest, and in the county con-
vention held Tuesday of this week,
received the unanimous endorsement
of the convention,

Unfavorabiy Reported by House Ways
and Means Committee.

Washington, June 5.--Chairman Ding
ley, of the House Ways and Means com
mittee, to-day made the report to the
House on the Senate resolution to pro-
hibit the issue of bonds without au-
thority from Congress. The statement
is signed by the eleven Republican
members and two Democrats, Turner,
of Georgia, and Cobbs, of Missouri
who concur in the recommendation
without endorsing the argument
If a proposition had been made to
deprive the Secretary of the Treasury
of the power to borrow for the purpose
of maintaining the redemption fund
between 1887 and 1898, it might have
been plausibly argued that there was
then no necessity for borrowing be-
cause the surplus revenues were ample
for that purpose. But to propose this
when there is and has been for three
years a large deficiency of revenues,
inevitably raises the inquiry whether
it is not the deliberate purpose of the
promoters of this bill to plunge the
government into reputation and
depeciate the greenbaclls.
One excuse which has been given for
the passage of the Senate bill is that
the Secretary of the Treasury has sold
bonds to syndicates instead of Offering
them first as popular loans. While we
sympathize with this criticism. vet
this affords substantial ground for
amending the act of 1876 so as to re-
quire bonds issued under it to be first
offered to the American people and
not ground for the absolute repeal of
all authority to borrow in an eXigency.
Anther excuse is that the Secretary of
the Treasury has indirectly issued and
sold bonds to meet the deficiency of
revenues by using the redeemed Uni
ted States legal tender notes for cur
rent expenses and thus placing them
in a position for a second redemption
This affords ground for such leoisla-
ton as will make it practically impos-
sible to continue this practice, but not
satisfactory ground for taking from
the Secretary all power to borrow for
the purpose of maintaining the re-
demption fund.
After referring to the House bills,
for a popular loan and for revenue, the
report continues: Instead of concurr-
ing in these two bills the Senate re-
fused to provide the needed revenue or
to authorize the issue of temporary
certificates of Indebtedness, thus prac-
tically endorsing the Secretary's
course, inasmuch as in the absence OF
both revenue and authority to borrow
to met the deficiency, the only resource
opened to the Secretary is the use of
the redeemed United States legal ten
der notes.

Is M'KINLEY FOR FREE SILVER?

The New York World prints what
it claims is an authoritative statement
of Mr.. McKinley's views on the none
tary question.
On the 9th of October, 1890, after
the sherman silver purchase act was
passed, he wrote, signed and sent the
following succinct statement of his
views to the Secretary of the Stark
County Farmers Alliance:
II AM IN FAVOR OF THE USE OF
ALL THE SILVER PRODUCT OF THE
UNITED STATES FOR MONEY AS
CIRCULATING MEDIUM. / WOULD
HAVE SILVER AND GOLD ALIKE. :. "a
Is this declaration for free coinage.
or is it a straddle? Tt was certainly
intended to convey the impression that
he was favorable to silver. If Mr.. Me-
Kinley has since changed his view will
he now say SO?

the number Of deaths, it will be seen,
exceeds any year in the past fifteen
Years, except in 1903. The distasfer
that year, during which 4,462 lives were
lest. was due to the severe hurricanes
off the South Carolina and Louisiana
coasts, whereas the other deaths given
in the above table were due almost eX~
clusively to storms and cyclones in the
interior. If the deaths caused by hur-
ricanes on the coast be omitted the
number of lives lost by land tornadoes
in 1898 was only 1876, making the pres
emf wear the worst on record, with

During the past fifteen years there

| 387 per year for the first five years
it has been COS for the last five
with a probability of running up to

1t may be said that on an average
five or six hundred lives and ten K

This shows that even in New Eng

ment against the gold standard is over
whelming. The smallness of the vote
from the South and West is explained
by the fact that the circulation of the
Homestead is not large in these sec
tions.
