There are nearly 10000 banks,

private, trust companies and
savings banks, and all of them put
together never added one dollar OF
wealth to the country. They tax
the producing class for the use OF
money and interest they gather all
comes out of the wealth that pro-
ductive industry produces.
The farmers, mechanics and
manufacturers create all the ealth
that is made in the world and out
of thst wealth taxes and interest to
banks are paid and when these are
the great labor class has
very little left.

Why Do the Merchants Want to Lose
Money?

For the last twenty years the honest
merchants of the country have been great
sufferers on account of falling prices
produced by demonetizing silver and
adopting the gold standard. A merchant
with an average stock of goods on hand
amounting to 5000 is now losing an
average of five per cent per annum in the
decline of prices ofthe goods he has OIL
hand, because general prices for the last
five years have gone down at least twenty
FIVE per cent. Besides, the merchant
loses a great deal by bad debts. Failing
prices which make him sell cheaper and
cheaper every year prevents his customers
from selling their property and getting
money with which to buy his goods or
pay what they already owe him, and the
merchants have been constantly going
from bad to worse, as rule, for many
years. Most Of them say the remedy is a
continuation of the gold standard and
more falling prices. 1t wonld seem, if
they were rational, that they had pursued
that remedy long enough. They say a
burnt child breads the fire, but the more
the merchants are burnt, the more they
appeBr to relish the fire. They see their
neighbors in the same business tunbling
over into bankruptcy every day, and this,
instead of deterring them from adherence
to the gold standard, appears to have a
fatal fascination for them. In other
words, the gold standard serpent can
charm a merchant to his ruin with as
much certainty as snake can charm a
bird.-,SiIziey knipkt.

Lightning plays funny. freaks
sometimes" said Mr.. John j.
Walker, of Charlotte, N. c., to a
Washington Post man on Satur-
day last During a thunder
storm the other day bolt of the
mysterious power cut some queer
capers at the suburban home of
Mr.. A. r. Logic, two miles east of
Charlotte. Mrs. Logic was in the
house with the children. Mr.. Lo-
gle was in the barn entertaining a
farmer friend, who had dropped
in for shelter from the storm. All
at once almost everybody on the
place was knocked over. Light
ming had struck a tall cedar tree
in front of Mr.. Logie's residence,
and when those about the house
were able to make an investiga-
ton some curious results were
found. The tree was split open
and set ablaze by the lightning,
and two squirrels and six spar
rows that had their home in the
tree were killed outright. The
bolt entered the ground at the
foot of the tree, ran under the
sidewalk, emerged at the steps of
the front porch, entered the house
under the front door, made zig
gag through two rooms, then went
out the window and made for the
barn. 1t hit Mr.. Logic and the
farmer, and the latter, not having
a clear idea of the situation. jum-
ped to his feet and advanced threa-
teningly toward his host, saying:
What did you hit me forY think
ing that in some manner he had
been struck by the other man.
Mr.. Logic made hssty explana-
ton and saved himself. Mrs. Lo-
gle and the children were knocked
from their feet and stunned, and it
was some time before they reco-
vered. The only damage done
that amounted to anything was
the SCATTERING of valuable collec-
ton of china in one of the rooms
of the house. "-Times-Democrat.

SATURDAY July "a, 1897.
The Constitutional Convention.

There is n good deal of talk
right at this time in regard to the
constitutional convention, some
papers favor the convention, while
Others oppose it.
The Messenger can see no good
to be derived from constitutional
convention under the present adj
ministratioD, we certainly cannot
trust Foster and his crowd to
frame a constitution that will be
beneficial to the people, and if the
power of making new constitu-
ton is placed in their hands they
will frame it in such a manner as
to perpetuate themselves in office.
1t is a matter of impossibility to
remove or defeat the Foster adj
ministration, and as long as they
will hold the state, we believe 1T
unsafe TO risk constitutional
convention, for the simple reason
that they will control the election
of delegates to said convention as
they did in other elections, and
will return their pets elected by
fraud or otherwise, they will COIL
troll the convention and frame a
convention for Foster q Co.
The first thing to do is to try to
rid the state of Foster and his
kinds, and if successful, then We
believe it would be time to call a
convention that might be for the
benefit of the people Of the whole
state.

SEIZED TIE PASTORS BOOKS.
The Church Treasurer wouId Not Pay the Rev.
Sr. sammia's Bill.

NEW BRUNSWICK, n. j., Aug. s.-A constable
appeared at the parsonage OF the Rev. 5, D.
Sammis, pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist Church
at South River. yesterday. and executed an Az
tachment on an encyclopedia in the preachers
library.
The attachment was taken to secure a judg.
ment secured against the Rev. Mr.. Ssmmis In
Perth Amboy by a New York publisher. In
1895 the Rev. Mr.. Sammis bought a set Of tho
books. He was then a pastor in Duchess
county. He made a few payments, but did not
pay in full.
After being called to South River Mr.. Sammis
paid other installments, but not enough to settle
The bill. The publishing house sued for $l4
and secured a judgment by default.
When notice of the judgment was served on
Mr.. Sammis yesterday he gave an order for tho
amount due on Walter Simmons. the church
treasurer. This Mr.. immon refused to honor,
and the constable gave notice that he would sell
the hooks at the pastors home on Monday after
noon. The Rev. Mr.. SamInis said:
II recognized the validity of the Judgment,
and am surprised that the church treasurer did
not save me the humiliation of having the hooks
sold over my head. The church yves ne much
more than the amount of the Judgment. The
reason the claim was not paid Is that | have
been i'll and unfortunate financially"
Mr.. Sammis created a sensation here recently
by introducing the monograph in his pulpit.
