Neglecting Business
To Distribute
The Shorter CateChism

Our Senior, who has been pronounced
Crazy by one of the best WON'T in the ctate,
went to baltimore last week to attend TO
some business. Before he had attended to
his business, however, he attended an auction
sale, and was a lucky bidder in the purchase
of five thousand shorter Catechisms He had
heard that in the lower part of the Northern
Neck of Virginia that one of the natives be-
ing asked if there were any Presbyterians in
that country, replied 'he reckoned there
was as almost every damned varmint that
eI er lived could be found some here in the
Neck" Regardless of his business he pach ed
up his purchase took the first boat to that
part of Virginia fter he had distributed
his Catechisms he found he had no time to
give to business outside of Raleigh Return
ing here to- day, he for the first time read his
last weeks advertisement, which was so
abominably butchered he almost regretted
that the shorter atechism had ever been
published, and might have said some bad
words if he had known any.
Hereafter if we hear ANYTHING or know
anything we shall not publish it as part of
our advertisement. We are in the Grocery

great part, we have grown in the past twenty
years from all Insignificant party of two or three
hundred thousand to one of millions, and have
finally compelled the Democratic party to leave
off its equivocal and misundersss ssandable plat
form expressions upon the subject and declare
in plain terms its adhesion to our faith ! re-
pudiate the assumption but not the doctrine of
the so-called scientific money" school. If
by scientific money is meant fiat money, l be-
lieve iu it; but reduced to its last analysis the
advocacy of scientific money is simple h'ggle
and quibble over the kind of material out of
which money shall be made. We never said
that money should be made cut of paper alone,
The Greenback party never said so. We did
say, however, and do so now, that it can as
we'll be made Of paper as of gold and silver,
and that all that is necessary is to put upon it,
whether of one material or another, or of all,
the approving stamp of the sovereign of all
power-the governlnent-and gave it its full
legal-tender quality. The prejudces and prefer
ences of many incline them to favor silver as
one of the materials out of which money shall
be made The demand for silver remonetiza-
tion within our own ranks, however, has not
been because of its so-caled intrinsic value,
but as part only of the generally-felt necessi
ty fer more money with which to transact the
business of the country. For us now, upon
the eve of certain victory, to fall out with each
other in front of the enemy, aud divide our
forces over the minor and essential ques-
ton as to what we shall make money out of,
would be folly-would be treason, if not idiocy.
But do not admit silver reconciliation TO be
the chief issue, except to t re relation to the
coming on of events. 1t is clief, however, in
the sense that it first presents itself, and there
by engages the attention of the larger number
of people. Along with it are others of equal,
perhaps greater Importance, and only lacking
equal or greater interest because not pressed so
hard to the flont hence, | will not consent to
au abandonment OF any of the other issues we
have been presenting. The Populist party
stands for reforms in currency, land-holding
and transportation, and its doctrines lead logic
ally to the socialization of all public interests
and utilities. For one, have no hesitancy in
accepting Mr.. Bella:ny's formula of ultimate
conditions: "The industrial system of ma

INGALLS, ON TRUSTS.
Says They Can Be Destroyed by Taxation,
if People Will.

NEW YORK, March 1.-The Journal prints
the following
The evaporation against trusts and monopo-
lies does not arise from hostility to capital, hat
red of wealth or envy of successes, but from
the belief that the inevitable effect of these
combinations, whether intended or not, is to
restrain competition, impair the dignity of la
Dor, destroy the independence and self-respect
of the laborer and make liberty the heritage OF
the few instead of the many, for liberty and
pauperism not compatible.
The trusts must go. 1t is written. They
will not depart voluntarily. They will protest
at every step. They will stand upon the
order of their going. They will denounce
all inquiry as iniquitous, inquisitorial and in
spred by partisan malignity. But this will not
deceive the people. They want the truth.
The object OF Lexow committees is to disclose
the existence and the methods of the conspira-
ces to limit production, control prices, depress
wages and strangle competition. Pubicopinion
will do the rest
The problem is not insolvabe; the power of
the people to suppress injurious trusts and mo-
nopoles is ample already. The state can out
/. them as public enemies, and through the
courts, forfeit their powers, annul their fran
chises and declare them against public policy
and void, in accordance with the precedents of
many centuries.
But the nation can WELD mightier weapon
still When the supreme court declared i'll the
state bank cases that the power of congress to
tax was the power to destroy, it delegated
formidable weapon to discomfort, and placed in
in every bondsman's hands the means to can
eel his captivity. JOHN J. INGALLS,.
THE Populist papers are making mistake
when they accuse every man being disap
pointed office-seeker who is criticsing the leg
islhture The people expect some radical re-
forms from that body If they fail to get them
they will kick and they ought to kick. 1t
will be no excuse to say this legislature is not
as bad as the last Republican Legislature. 1t
could be all of that and still be stencil i'll the
nostrils of the people Nothing but an heroic
attempt TO put into law such reforms as were
advocated on the stump last fall will seceive
the commentator of the people. Anything
less will be Condemned and the worst kickers
will be the most earnest reformers, and not Of
ce-seekers Star and Kanaan.

THE RHYME OF THE MODERN MARINER;
Or, The Cruise of the Ship of State.

Parody on "The Rhyme of the Ancie
Mariner"
The Ship of State went sailing,
Sailing on to woe or veal
Nc. was leaning on the railing,
With Mark Hanna at the wheel.
"'rwas my 'chink' that saved you, honey,
Whispered Hanna, with laugh
eff this voyage brings us money,
You must surely give me half"
Poor Mckinley looked detected,
AS he stood in deepest thought.
ooh, that had been rejected,
Nor my place by Hanna bought"
And the Ship Of State went sailing,
Through the green sea, high and rough,
And Mckinley on the railing,
Thought Ills lot was very tough.
"Keep far off the coast of Kansas"
Said Mckinley with sigh,
cor the people there will land us,
And our hopes will have have to die
Then poor Mark began to shudder,
AS he turned the ship from land,
And he jerked the rotten rudder,
AS he steered with trembling hand.
Now the pale, blue sky is clearing,
Hanna, still the good ship steering,
Ever towards the future peering,
Slowly left the Pops wild shore.
Still the ship went sailing, sailing,
But McKinley's face was paling,
AS he leaned upon the railing,
Fearing trouble was in store.
Suddenly storm broke DER them,
And the sea dashed high before them,
Poor Mckinley looked for death
All the rigging groaned and creaked,
And the tempest round them shrieked,
While old Sherman gasped for breath.
Loud did Marcus Hanna yell,
While the angry sea did boil,
''Mc, pour out some Standard Oil,
Or we'll all be dashed to-" Well,
Bill, in fact, had lost his head,
But he heard what Hanna said,
And poured the oil upon the sea.
Then the awful storm was DER,
And the mighty wave sank lower,
While the good ship struggled free,
And the Ship of State went sailing,
Sailing on to woe or veal,
With Mckinley in the cabin,
And Mark Hanna at the wheel.
At length, the ship, without wreck,
It's four years cruise had passed,
With Gage upon the quarterback,
And Sherman up the mast.
The gold they'd gained was counted then,
And softly did Hanna laugh.
Not so with Bill Mckinley when
He gave the pilot half.
And everyone throughout the land
Knew there had been steal,
When Nc. was in the cabin and
Mark Hanna at the wheel.

WISE AND HELPFUL AO7lLt.

The low price of cotton this fall has
destroyed the hopes of prosperity that SIX
weeks ago chcered every resident of the
cotton sections Of the South Inc
slump means not only much self denial
and hardship TO farmers and all others
dependent upon the farm, but in many
nomes ii means the denial of educational
advantages to ambitious boys and girls.
In the face of the severe disappointment,
it is not easy to be philosophical, but the
following editorial in the Nashville
Christian advocate under the title
Don't Stop Because of Disaster" will.
ii read and needed, enable many de-
spending man to grid up his loins AMI
press forward with renewed zeal. The
Advocate says:
mo man in distress should suffer him
self to indulge in a relaxation of his in
dustry. However unpromising the signs
of the time, and however scant the pros
poets of business, the true policy is to
keep on trying. Nothing worse can hap
pen to any man than to sit down, fold
his hands, dream of his past prosperity,
bewail his present sad lot, and conjure
up forbidding pictures of future years.
If he persists in such a course for any
considerable length of time, he is sure
to render himself incapable of using the
opportunities that may hereafter come TO
him. Wise employment lends dignity TO
human life and strength to human char
acter. In the case of an old man there
may be some excuse for that paralysis
of effort which is SO often the immediate
result of great business disaster, but
not so in the case of a young or middle
aged man. The first stroke of misfortune
naturally tends to daze him. Let us not
blame him if he seems for season I'M
able to collect his faculties, and resume
his customary enterprise. But after he
has had time to look about him, and to
recover his equilibrium he ought to adj
dress himself again with renewed dill
gence to all his tasks"
