the one of taxation, and the other pur-

CaUIOrnld, the writer, among Olner
things briefly reviewed many of the
principles herein laid down and follow
ing the line of thought that waves o.
prosperity and depression followed each
other with more or less regularity, pre-
dicted that somewhere between the
years 1893 and 1897 this country would
again enter upon a period of business
depression that would be very severe
on the business interests of the. country.
The local speculative boom of 1867
broke long before this predicted period
but the universal panic which swept
over the civilized world did not appear
until the time predicted-1893. 1t appears
to require under present business con-
ditions, from eighteen to twenty years
for the country to pass through COM
plete cycle fSom one business depression
to another.
After the panic of 1875 1t took the peo-
pie of Southern California five years to
get ready for business again in 1880
A similar period after the panic of 1893
ought to place this country again in
line for business activity. The panic
of 1893 was more widespread in it's oper-
ations than that Of 1876; but locally it
was not so severe as comparatively lit
tie money was lost by depositors by fail
ing banks in Southern California four
years ago, whereas in 1875 the loss was
very heavy.

it Jim says: =
There are several things in the ad-

there is as much necessity for co-opera-
ton between the Populist and Republi-

in 1894 and 1885, It further shows that
the fopulist party is as ready now as in
1896 TO battle to maintain local self-gov-
eminent and honest elections for the en-
tire people as in the last campaign. OF

NO HASTY PROSECUTION FOR
FAILURE TO PAY TAXES

Solicitor Pou was in the city last night
and was questioned by reporter rela.
tive to prosecution of delinquent taxpay-
ers under the act of the last Legislature
making all persons indictable who fail to
pay by the first Monday of September.
Mr.. Pou says that in the exercise of
discretion vested in him by law no one
will be prosecuted until ample time is
given to pay taxes.
The next term of Wake criminal court
convenes the last of September. Very
few people will be able to pay their tax
es by that time. From Mr.. Pou's CONVEX
sation the reporter inferred that there
would be no prosecutions instituted at
this term.

Thousands of women have found a sure,

This remedy is DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-

stops weakening drains, allays inflammation
and soothes pain. The nerves, no longer

directing the healthy action of all the organs

weak, siCkly, nervous, fretful invalid, be-

wife, fitted for the duties of motherhood.
