Ak ENCOURAGING UTTERANCE

The Democratic advocates of free
coinage have every cause for eneoiIr-
agement. The piling up Of bonded III
debtedness, the contraction Of the cnf-
reney, and the failure Of the good
times to materialize under the gold
standard are teaching many voters
that the chief hope is in radical
change Of the financial policy of gov
eminent.
Senator Harris, of Tennessee, the
veteran Democratic member of the SEN
ate, who was president Of the National
Democratic Free Silver Convention,
and chairman OF the committee APP
pointed to organize the Democratic sill
yer forces, believes that the silver men
will win at Chicago. IN a recent inter-
view he said:

Chicago next July. We propose to
force the fighting. We believe that the

financial question"

CAROLINA FROM CHARLES /.

To the Editor:-As my name is at
tached to the article, 'North Caro-
lina," in Johnson's New Cyclopedia,
wish to call the attention of your read.
ers to misprint for which / am not
responsible.
The name, Carolina, is derived from
Charles (Carolus)I Of England, not
from Charles H., as will appear from
the following facts:
1. Justin Winsor's Narrative and
Critical History shows that the
French under Charles TX. did not call
the territory around Port Royal, Car
Dina, as Bancroft and others say
They only named the fort, which they
built, ARK Carolina.
2. The Spanish called our territory
Florida The English called it Vir-
ginia, after Raleigh's discovery.
3. 1929 Charles /. cut off the South
ern part of Virginia, granted it to Sir
Robert Heath, under the name, Gar
DINA In the charter the spelling
Carolana is likewise used, but that is a
mis-spelling.
4. Connections and wars prevented
Sir Robert Heath from acting under
his patent. So Charles T., in 1868, de
Gliding that it had expired for non
user, granted exactly the same terri
tory to eight Lords Proprietors under
the same name, Carolina. In 1865 a
new charter was given them, enlarging
the territory.
Have / not proved my point?

We do not propose to be driven into
denunciation of the Governor of North

who placed him in the position he now

their convictions at the dictation of

purchasing power of gold and diminish
the value of land and every other spe-

ter friend to Democracy when he tells,
than the Courier is when it conceals,
the true sentiment of it's own people.
Governor Carr expressed the opinion
that more than one-fifth of the Demo
Gratis of the State could be brought to
the support of single standard plat
form and presidential nominee.
We think we know something of the
views of the Haywood county Democ-
racy, and we would bewilling tosubmit
the question whether we are correct
in saying that more than four-ffths Of
them favor free coinage, to a commit
tee composed of G. S. Ferguson, W. +.
Crawford, II. d. Gilmer, w. B. Fergu
son, David Boyd, w. Z. Lee, j. ID. Boone,
James Gwyn, Jos. S. Davis and any
other half dozen recognized exponents
of the sentiment Of the Courier's own
Democratic readers.
When we told the people in 1892 that
the Democratic platform meant free
silver, we were as earnest as was the
idol of the people, Zebulon i. Vance.
If this paper were found to-day adyo-
eating single gold standard, or apol
ogizing for those who are trying to
force ii upon the country, we could not
blame our readers for denouncing us
as unworthy Of confidence.
The Courier may be master of some
necromancy that will reconcile the
party in this State to such an anony-
nous proposition as that they shall
vote for candidate who, on the vital
issue Of the contest, disagrees with
nearly all Of them.
We hope for the best that Democ-
racy viii hold every vote cast for it in
1892, and receive recruits-but like
Governor Carr we think it may be as
well to give the danger signal in time
for those who may be in control to take
such precautions as will divert disaster.

THE BALANCE or TRADE FALLAcY

The Republican politicians are maxi
ing a great hue and cry because 81 the
adverse balance Of trade, as they
call it, We have been importing more
Goods in value under the new tariff
than we exported, but in 1895 this
changed. The exports were $ss4,S62,-
as; imports, sso1, 663, 400.
The New York Herald has interview
ed a number of prominent publicists
who declare that no unfavorable sig
nificance can be attached to an excess
Of imports over exports Prof. Hol-
lander, Of Johns Hopkins University,
declares the balance of trade argument
san absurd fallacy." Adam Smith
showed it to be absurd to measure a
nations actual prosperity or imml-
vent ruin according as and to the ex-
tent to which its total exports exceed
its imports. Prof, j. Laurence Laugh
lin, Of the University of Chicago, says
''the balance of trade doctrine is es-
sentially fallacious." Prof. Holmes,
Of the University of Virginia, Edward
Atkinson and other eminent students
of political economy, take the same
ground.
The New York Herald in addition
to this expert testimony presents some
facts that will show the fallacy of the
denunciation of the new tariff in the
particular under consideration. We
quote:
''The total value of American manu-
features exported in January last was
SIS, 1872, representing most I'M
precedented export of the products OF
our mills and factories, which, If con-
tinued throughout the present year,
will make a total of nearly $225,000,-
600.
1T will thus be seen that not only
has there been no adverse trade bal
ance" under the regime of the Wilson
tariff, but that (and this is fact which
will most powerfully appeal to all
American manufacturers, mechanics
and workmen in mills and factories)
the manufactured products of the Uni-
ted States are now finding a large and
unexampled demand in the markets Of
the world.
.'This RECOMMENDING export trade
in American manufactured fabrics be-
gan when the Wilson tariff was set on
foot, and it has continued to grow
ever since the enactment of the new
fiscal law, giving a fine promise Of un-
precedented prosperity in American
mills and workshops.
THE official figures show that the
exports of our manufactures were, un-
der the Mckinley law, only S16S,927,-
315 in 1891; S15S,510,937 in 1892, but
during 1893 they were, in round NUM-
bers. S1s3, 100000; in 1894 S183,000, 900;
in 1895, S201 100000. And now the
promise for 1896 Gas indicated by the
January returns of the Bureau of Sta
tistics) is 1925, 100000.
Tn the face of the recent fine in
crease of our manufactured exports
there is certainly no reason to tremble
at the spectre of an adverse balance
OF trade (so-called) which, if it means
anything, means that orr foreign conn
naerce is becoming more active and
prosperous. and that we may ere long
be getting back from foreign countries
In imports) values exceeding those
which we send abroad in the exports
of our surplus products"
