The continued low price of cotton is
playing havoc with the farmers in CEN
trail Carolina. Most of them borrowed
money on their crops; the New York
banks are shutting down on the local
banks, and the local banks have to
press all paper. The result is that they
cannot hold their cotton and 1t is going
at the present low figures.

5EDDY'S: iONETARY VIEWS.

To q correspondent Of the Crooks
ton Tribune, who has interviewed
him, Congressman Eddy has express
ed his views on the money question
as follows 55H.
s. II reference to the monetary poll
cy OF the government. When any of
our bonded indebtedness becomes due,
or it is necessary to refund the same,
or whenever it is necessary torissue
bonds for any purpose, the bonds,
principal ana interest, should be
made payable in gold, running for
tifty years, and drawing not more
than three per cent interest. They
should be issued in denominations Of
ten, twenty, fifty and one hundred
dollars, and should be offered at par
TOR sixty days in every presidential
post office in the United States until
The issue is exhausted. No single
purchaser should be allowed to invest
more than $4,000 in the bonds. At
the close of ninety days they could be
sold to the highest bidder, Tor not less
than par, in quantities to suit the
purchasers. BY this course, instead
OF few people owning al! the bonds,
they would be scattered among the
hands OF our people. The moment a
man becomes creditor of the gov
ernmenu, even i'll a small way, he
possesses a greater and different
KIND OF an interest than ever before,
and according to my theory, if we
could adopt some plan to scatter the
government bonds among the people,
It would rebound very much to the
credit OF the nation. l am OF the
opinion that our paper money should
be made legal tender for all purpos-
es. That national banks should be
allowed to capitalize at ten thousand
dollars capital, and issue circulation
up to the Iuu amount Of bonds depos-
tied, and the tax on said circulation
should be reduced to one half of one
per cent. No gold ought to pe coined
IN denominations less than five dol
lars. As a very large oltion of the
retail business OF the country is trans
acted in sums less than tive dollars,
this would necessitate the use of
large quantity OF silver and to GER
tain extent solve the silver question.
No, do not think it would be nee
essary to retire the greenbacks or
treasury notes. The mass OF the COM
mon people are strongly attached to
these forms OF money. am aware
that this attachment is based on sen
timental grounds, but it exists, and 1
would not give much for that politi-
cal organization thai goes up against
it. ~. >..~, -. .sT->.. I: .z... n.

IT is the pernicious habit of going

Francis A. WALKER, who during
the recent campaign was held up as
lone of the ablest writers on bimetal-
lism by silver advocates, and frequent
: ly quoted from, delivered an address
"a few days ago before the Schoolmas-
tiers association of Massachusetts, on
the subject Of bi1netallism, in which
he voices sentiments similar to those
held by the republican party. He
szsaid @
IF bimetallism is TO be re-estab
it must be sought through in
ternational agreement. No. single
sstateis powerful enough to do this
work alone; and every state owes it
to it's citizens not to venture upon any
rash experiment, the failure Of which
might wreck its credit and destroy it's
commerce and industry. Nothing is
to be gained by a venture which could
only result in throwing an additional
Gnus and odium upon this object.
During the past summer few ardent
European bimetallists, under the ex-
element Of seeing the United States
apparently about to undertake the
free coinage Of silver alone, have been
led away into giving some doubtful
I ncouragement to the proposal. But
the general sense Of the bimetallistsI
-of Europe is distinct y opposed to any
such measure on our part. If the adj

that he had just gone through a hard

TRAFFIC sroPPED IN CHICAGO
BY the Crowd Anxious for News of the
Fight.

Chicago, March 1S-The police had
their hands full in an endeaVor to con-
troll the large crowds which assembled
in front of the various newspaper Of
fees to see the bulletins displayed on
the Corbett- t-Fitzsimmons fight. In
spite of efforts of the police the street
traffic came to a complete standstill in
the two sections of the city where the
newspapers are located. Those in the
rear of the crowds, who could not see
the bulletins, pressed forward with
such force that many were knocked
down and trampled upon AS result
many were more or less hurt. One
man, T. J. Williams, was pushed with
such force against a Madison street
cable car that he received internal in
juries and was removed to the county
hospital.
Fight news was awaited with eager
ness by thousands of Chicago people
and long before there was any posSi-
bility o1~the two men entering the ring
small crowds congregated in front of
the newspaper offices. BY the time
Corbett and Fitzsimmons stepped into
the ring Fifth avenue, in front of the
Daily News office, was jammed and all
traffic stopped. The continued down
pour of rain did not make a particle of
difference to the men. boys, street gam
ins and loafers, together with large
number of women
There was nothing but umbrellas in
be seen in Fifth avenue looking down
from a second story. and down below
there was nothing but shouting to lower
umbrellas while the fight was taking
place. Men, women and boys fought
for vantage positions.
Anything that could be mounted was
eagerly occupied by the small boy and
from his position above the crowd he
scanned the bulletins, Straining his
eyes to make out every word and re-
peat it to those below him, who could
see nothing but white pieces of paper
and umbrellas.
The cable cars in Madison street were
seized by the crowds. Twenty-Five or
more clambered on the roof of every
car and perched there watching the
bulletins The crowds were generally
evenly divided and largely impartial.

largest crowds ever assembled in front
of the building stood massed before the
bulletins and blocked the street
A description of each round, as it
came over the wires in the Journal Of
flee, was read from an upper window.
A complete account of the fight in
cluding twelve columns of news about
it, was printed in the regular city edi-
ton, and at 6 O'Clock an edition with
two additional columns was printed.
The people depended on the State Jour-
nal for the news. and were not dis
