THE STATE CONVENTION.

In our travels we have heard some
objections to the time named by the
State Central Committee for the hold
ing of the State Convention Of the
Peoples Party, to-wit: Aug. 10th. 1t is
claimed that it comes right in the
midst of harvest.
1t is difficult to fix date that will
suit all parts of a state as large as
this, and we have no doubt the COM
mittee did that which was best in
it's Judgment. Would anything be
gained by holding it two weeks later?

COST OF COUNTY GOVERN
MENT.

This is very important question
and we are glad to see that it is being
discussed. Mr.. Harvey Gillitt, of
Hastings, Mimi, tells US that the cost
Of the county government of Dakota
county, Mimi, is $5l.S79 per annum.
while in Rice county, with 1928 more
population, the cost of the county
government is 1900, or nearly $780,
600 a year less. II these figures are
correct the people of Dakota county
pay nearly twice as much for their
county government as they should.

the whole Of the taxes Of the counties
are absorbed by the office holders who
collect the taxes. It is a thres hing
machine which takes the entire crop
to run it. And the office-holders get
twice or thrice as much pay as the
men who support them; and they
spend part of their emoluments to get
or retain the offices, and thus the
voter is corrupted and demoralized
and all society filled with moral rot
teness.
Think these things over, friends.

ing, It is doubtful if four of the six would
run at all. When the disasters of the
present strike-which have only begun
are added to the losses of the present
blooming gold standard times, it is appar-
ent that the Twin City gold press Is in
something else than clover. All this. of

HISTORIAN RIDPATH DEBT
RETIE w.

Monetary appreciation weighs most
heavily, on the debtor. The increase
in the purchase power of the dollar
multiplies the debt. Every force
which swells the value of the dollar
and contracts the value of commodi-
ties increases the burdens of the
debtor. Monetary appreciation in
creases the value of the debt and cuts
down the power Of labor and its pro-
ducts to lift the debt The most tell
ing object lesson demonstrating and
illustrating this point is that pro-
duced by the eminent historian, John
Clark Rdpath, in the Arena. At the
risk Of repetition, Mr.. Ridpaths debt
review is here given in condensed de-
tail. He demonstrates that notwith-
standing the fact that the country has
paid $1,600,O0O GOO Of the principal of
the national debt since 1866 and g.
400, 0OO, oOO of interest upon it, the debt
is actually larger at this time, meas
ured by the prices Of staple commodi-
ties than it was in its original form
at the close of the war. After quoting
market prices for 1866 and 1895, he
gives the summary of evidence as fol,
lows:

THE MCKINLEY DEFICIT ACT

In view of the claim of Senator
Sherman and Governor Mckinley that
the cause of the countrys present de-
preston is the government revenue
deficit, 1t is interesting to note that
the Mckinley act itself was the prime
occasion Of the deficit. The McKin-
ley tariff was in force during the fiscal
years 1S90-94 inclusive. The depression
and the deficit occurred under the
operations of the Mckinley act. The
following record of the surplus and
felt making tendencies of the McKin-
ley act Of 1890:

The purchasing power Of the national debt
at the close of 1895 is, therefore, greater than
was that of the national debt on March ],

less than was that of the national debt
on March /, 1866, as follows:

In the case of beef by, cwt..... 51,7o4, 076
In case of farming lands as
above approximately acres. 2309, 523
From this calculation it is seen that the
purchasing power of the debt at the close
of 1896 Is far greater than it was on March
1, 1885, on six of the nine great staples
enumerated. and that it is less by a compar-
atively small per cent on only three of the
articles enumerated. There is an over
whelming preponderance on the average of
the whole list in favor of the debt as it
stands at the close of the current year
That debt, in word, is worth more to the
holders than it was at its nominal maximum
nearly thirty years ago! There is no kind of
in the world that can overcome or seriously
modify the conclusions here drawn from

The Mckinley bin was in force in
the fiscal years, 1899, 1891, 1892, 1898,
1894. Prior to the panic and even
during the 'boom" times, the surplus
dwindled down, under the operations
Of the N: kinley act, from Ss5,0O0,O0O
in 1890 to $4,000, coo in 1892. In 1893
the surplus dropped still further to
e, 900. 900, and in 1894, after the panic,
but still under the Mckinley act,
there was deficit of $32.oOo,OC0.
The tariff had exceedingly little to
do, in fact, with the present condi-
tion. The gold scrambling in Europe,
to make up gold boards for Russia
and Austria Hungary, started the
gold exports in 1888 and 1889, before
both the silver coinage act and tariff
act of 1890 were laws, and four years
before the Democratic victory of 1892
These gold exports, caused by the sim
gle gold standard and the gold scram-
bic, precipitated the panic, with the
cooperation of the Eastern money
power, and led to the depression.
But if Messrs Sherman and McKin-
ley wish t. attribute the panic and de-
preston to a tariff deficit, they are
welcome TO the application of that
theory, for it implicates their own
tariff creation. +. n. S.

New York, May 16.-(Special) Our
market is practically without change,
showing all the indications of a dull
short session, with the local interest
DISPOSED to close their transactions
at the end of the week. The statisti-
cal position remains as strong as ever
and offsets the remarkably good crop
accounts coming from every section
of the cotton belt with scarcely an
exception. These factors are SO con-
fiicting that the tendency among the
trade is to await further Developments
before taking an active interest in the
future course of prices.
Trade advices show reductions in the
prices of cotton goods with small
demand from merchants. But tho
trade is disposed to place more re-
lance upon the strength Of the local
positions, where it is believed that the
holdings are sufficiently concentrated
to render the situation dangerous for
any one who thinks that good crop
accounts and poor trade returns can
materially affect adversely the local
condition.

RALEIGH MARKET.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, May 16.-To-day's stock
market " as on very limited scale and
the changes in prices, as a rule, were
aInimportamt. The trading was exclu-
sively professional The attraction OF
business, aside from the usual half
holiday argument, was TO an extent
caused by immediate political develop
ments, both domestic and inteFna-
tional, and the gold export outlook.
The general markdb was irregular
within a narrow range and exhibited
tendency toward lower level. Lon
don prices were higher and this helped
the international shares to moderate
extent, but the foreign operations in
this market were insignificant. The
market closed firm with slight changes
either way. Railroad bonds to-day We're
fairly active with firm tone. Some
material gains were made, ranging
up to 4 per cent in Minneapolis and St.
Louis firsts.
The sales were S565,000. Govern
membs were firm but irregular, the
sales were $4,000 with but slight
changes in prices. State issues We're
duh and without special feature. The
transactions were $4,000.

Ninth a bet er understanding of the
Wv transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, whic vanish before proper eff
lforts-gentle efforts pleasant efforts
rightly direct I'd. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply TO constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
" removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millionsof families and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. It's beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. II
afflicted with any actual disease, one
NAV be commended to the most slzillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.
