GRADE To3ACC0 CAREFULLY

THE COMMONWEALTH wishes The tar.
n,ers to get the highest price for all
they sell-who.her cotton, corn or to-
bacco. Ard one thing which thcy
should look after carefully is the grad
Ing of their tobacco.
We made some observati ons on the
Scotland Neck market day Or two ago
which convinced us that farmers often
get low prices which dissatisfy them
because of the improper grading OF
their tobacco. For instance, we with
one OF the buyers, after the sales, ex-
amlned pile OF tobacco which lrought
81 cents. The buyer showed US that
a good portion Of the pile was fine TO-
kacco, but by improper grading the
poorer tobacco had caused the entire
pile to sell at 81 cents. He picked out
some of the best tobacco in the pile
and said it would have brought more
than four times as much as it sold fcr
mixed with the lower grade, had it
been properly graded.
During the tobacco season last year
The COMMONWEALTH called attention
to improper grading and urged the
farmers to be more careful about 1t.
We repeat it all now, and urge the far
mers to be very careful in their work
of grading. :,
As matter 81 course tobacco will
sell every time by the poorest grade in
pile. Cotton sells so. Corn sells so ;
and erythlng in general way sells
so. II is on the principle that a chain
is no stronger than its weakest link.
Let the farmers take little more
time to have their tobacco graded prop
erly and they will get much better
prices for it.

4 DEARTH OF SILVER.

u
WAsH1NGToN, D. c., Sept. %, 'o9.
The Treasury Of the United States
presents the unusual condition of a
surfeit.,of gold and a famine of silver
The Depart has become very much
concerned about the situation, and ap-
preclates now that there is a demand
for silver in commerce as we'll as for
gold At all the nine subtreasuries,
the banking houses haye been begging
for silver, so that their depositors
could be supplied with it; and they
have been refused. In fact, the Treas
urer sent formal order to these SUBJ
treasurers not to pay out silver in ex-
change for gold, but only to those who
presented silver certificates. This looks
remarkable when we remember the eff
forts made some six years ago to raid
the gold in the Treasury. Today, If
man presents to the Treasury here a
gold certificate for 500, Or any amount,
he must take gold for It. IN nearly
every case there is a protest. The
man wants money OF smaller
denominations than can be had IN gold,
for the purpose OF making change III
business; but he cannot get it. The
rule is mandatory, and will be adhered
to until the Treasury is better supplied
| with the white metal. Last Monday
there were but $4,000 II silver, not
covered by certificates outstanding, IN
the Treasury here, and hardly four
millions in all the sub-treasurics com
blned. The amount was increased
slightly after the order indicated, but
now stands at barely 100000.
The result OF this has been general
dissatisfaction in the large business
houses. The cashiers are kept running
to banks getting what little small mon
ey they can, greatly to the inconvenl-
ence Of business. No better argu-
ment could be furnished of the ad-
vantages Of bimetallism. The Treas
ury has more gold than ever before.
Business houses have less OF the ncces-
sary small money Of the people than
ever before. When Congress in 1888,
at the the demands Of the gold men,
| met in special session and repealed the
law coming $4,500,0O0 month in sill
YER, it laid the foundation Tor the pres
ent commercial Inconvenience, and for
unusual sight of raid for silver instead
Of gold. By this law, in six years of Its
operations, over $30O00O,0OO in silver
have been left out of the money supply
Of the country. Now that business
has become generally active, there is
need for more money OF small denom-
| ination in order to effect ordinary
sales. This cannot be done with gold
because it is not in sma!l-Genom!na
| tions, and it has been driven out ol
circulation until the government has
to issue an order to enforce the taking
Of it. That shows conclusively the
natural demand for silver, in it's prop
or place, in American commerce. Gold
in turn, has its proper functions, and
with the advent of Democratic ad-
| ministration both metals will be made
to work together harmoniously, and
such embarrassment as now is being
felt in every large city for small mon
ey will be avoided.

solid field of ice extending 100 or more
miles down Lake Superior was moved
bodily several miles this morning by a
strong northwest wind. Clear water ex-
tends some distance from Duluth. The
ice has been crowded over to the south
shore and it is believed a clear passage
exists along the north shore that might
be taken advantage of by ships If any
were ready. This ice movement was a
great surprise to all vesselmen.
