that we will get cotton ties cheaper
even than before the trust was organ
lied, tariff or no tariff. The fight against
other trusts have not been so success
full, owing to the fact that we cannot
get directly at them, but we have kept
them in a state of fear and they have
hardly gouged us as deeply as they
would have done but for the dread Of
Alliance onslaughts. Everybody ought
to be grateful to the Alliance for this,
for nearly everything is controlled by
trusts.
The State Business Agencies have
been Of incalculable benefit. This is
especially true Of the North Carolina
Agency. Owing tothe increasing hard
times these benefits have not had due
consideration, for many will say: 81
have harder work to make both ends
meet now than I did five or more years
ago." But, my brother, without the
stopping of these leaks, which may
have been but a few dollars saved to
you each year, but which r so much
in the aggregate, you would have
found times even harder than they
have been.
Get your neighbors together and
take more interest in your Sub, Alliance
meetings. Continue to read and in,
duce others to read papers that advo
cate Alliance reforms. Take a pride
in it, devote q little time and energy
to it, and you will eventually be well
paid for all you do. Think Of yo=:
children, who may live long after you,
and try to- make this "a government
of, for and by the people"

A HAPPY EDITOR.

The editor of the Warrenton Record
is still putting on style. A young lady
recently gavo him a loaf of bread, and
he has been shying at everything along
the roadside ever since. To cap the
climax, the Record mans son found
some money the other day, and now
the Record is advertising for the owner
thereof. Doubtless he will charge a
liberal price for the ad. when the owner
Identifies the stuff. Just how the Rec
ord man knew it was money, he does
not state. The average North Carolina
editor don't see money often enough to
be able to recognize it, and it may be
that what he thinks is money will turn
out to be boarding house biscuit or

The Wall street wave OF prosperity
is assuming cyclonic proportions in
New York City. For sometime the
suicides have averaged more than one
a day, and a large per cent. of them
nearly all-are directly traceable to
financial difficulties. The record was
increased on the 2nd inst, when two
men quit this world of trouble by tax
ing carbolic~ acid and the third made
an effort, but failed. Another used
laudanum. Another drank horse llni'
ment sufficient to end his existence. A
policeman shot himself on account OF
domestic trouble. A lady killed herself
on account of her daughters downfall,
probably due to financial trouble. A
man hanged himself in the cellar. A
Chinaman took opium, and an aged
lady on Long Island quit earth after
drinking a bottle of laudanum. The
attention of our law makers is respect
fully called to the good times they have
not given the country, and how it is
affecting some of the people.

The Mobile Register thinks we are
about to run short of humorists. Bill
Nye is dead, Mark Twain cannot last
much longer. OF course we still have
Chas. B. Lewis, IN. Quad" one Of the
most versatile writer's in the lot. We
have many funny writer's, witty para.
grRphers and punsters, and some ex-
cellent c~artoonists who can portray the
ludicrous in a creditable way. But
there is a woeful shortage of genuine
humorists. Bill Arp still entertains
his admirers; but he, too, is getting
old. There is an opening for a thorough,
all-around humorist who can 'drive
dull care away" in fact several of
them. The right man, or men, can
make a fortune. Let the new star ap-
pear.
The Register modestly dominates
esquire Rufus Sanders" of Alabama,
for the position. Sanders has quite a fine
local reputation. His yarns are quaint
and original, and there is a vein of
real humor all through everything he
writes, though it seems that he has
succumbed to the panic, for we have
not noticed anything from his pen
lately. If Rufus wants fame, let him
come forth and earn it in the usual
way. His ability has never been
sneezed at, except by hay fever suffer
ers, and they ought to apologize.
Humor consists largely of exaggera-
tion, the art Of writing the ridiculous
in a serious strain. Most of the gold.
bug editors ought to score well in a
competition for honors, hut they gen
orally play to empty houses. Eli Per
kins was considered a funny writer
and lecturer some years ago. But he
fell into evil ways and published a little
book on the moneFquestion. Eli used
the usual arguments in support Of the
gold standard, i. g., that the way to
make money plentiful was to quit max
ing any at all; that many business fail,
ures were evidences of prosperity, etc,
and 80 he fell from the lofty pedestal Of
fame to the level Of other common liars
and will never be heard of again. <Hu-
morists r expected to prevaricate,
but when they get down in the dirt to
plain lying about things that affect the
peoples pocket-books, they will be sat
