Pap Perkins. the Postmaster, Tells
How the Enthusiastic Organization
Was Busted Up by One of Lish Bill

Copyright. 1900. by c. 3. Lewis.l
The Jericho fire company, which con-
sisted of 40 men, 10 pals. = axes and a
ladder and all painted red except the
men, is no more on earth. 1t was or
ganized Is years ago and never turned
out to but one fire. Nobody had found
any fault with it, however, up to two
months ago, when Reube Holdfast
came into the postofhce one day and
says to me:
Look here, Pap. this town of Jericho
is deader'n q doornail, and unless sun
thin kin be done to rouse her the moss
on our backs will be a foot long in an
other year"
What kin you do" says l.
That's what I've bin thinkin OF fur
the last month. We can't git up dog
fights nor boss races, and nobody will
go in fur u brass band or q camp meet
in. The only thing kin think of is to
resurrect the fire company and boom
her fur all she's with. If we kin git
things a-go;n red hot, Jericho will
wake up and push to the front till Chi
cago won't be in it. I'm gittin figgers
together fur speech, Pap, and you
jest lay low fur three or four days, and
you'll hear sunthin drop"
Before the week was out everybody
in town knew that sunthin was up,
and one evening Reube shot off his
speech to the postoffice crowd and
made big hit. He had the number Of
fires and the losses in the United States
fur the last fifty years, and he showed
how a fire company kept down taxes,
reduced insurance and was the MAIN
spring of liberty. He pictured the town
of Jericho in ashes fur the want Of
sunthin to squirt out a condagration,
and when he went on to describe wild

Joe TruelOve was seen TO wipe a tear
from his left eye. Fur once everybody
seemed to be agreed, and when Reube
was named fur foreman of the compa-
ny nobody kicked. Before the meetin
closed it was resolved TO buy two more
pals and another ladder and that the
company should be uniformed.
Jericho woke right up. Real estate
began to jump, Tom Bigelow put down
six rods of new sidewalk, and Homer
Lee reprinted his barn and put new
hinges on his gate. People who came

lieving that in that ticket lies commercial
safety for the country. Anti-imperialism
is not an issue in North Carolina The
intelligent class of voters do not seem to
fear the consequences of expansion as pre-
dicted by Mr.. Bryan, and the ignorant
class of voters, not feeling any increase
in their taxes or being conscripted for war
service, hardly regard 1t as tangible
danger. The attitude of the people of the
state toward the imperialist issue Is one
of indifference, and they say that as long
as people are willing to go and fight they
have no objections to the volunteering
now in progress or to the expenditure OF
surplus money in the federal treasury for
the expenses incurred under the expansion
policy.
Four years ago cotton brought 5 cents
a pound in North Carolina, today 1t Is
selling for 9la cents The numerous cotton
mills in this state have all been very pros
porous of late years. Only one OF these
mills employs black labor There Is
large white vote to be Influenced by the
prosperous mill owners. The railroads are
republican In their tendencies, and all
classes of people seem fairly well satisfied
with the conditions which now prevail In
this state.
The populists are very much dissatisfied
with the withdrawal of Mr.. Towne from
the vice presidential ticket. Senator But
Ter is credited with the statement recently
that this withdrawal is a surprise and
disappointment to him, 1t was under
stood when Towne was nominated that
he would stay on the ticket. Senator But
Ter is possibly misled by his wishes In the
matter, for it was only with the under
standing that Towne would withdraw that
many populists consented to his nomina-
ton at the Sioux Falls convention
There seem to be no well defined party
lines among the voters in North Carolina,
but the indications are strong that repub-
lfcanism distinguished from the KansaA
City platform is on the increase. North
Carolina will go democratic as long as
the race question is to the front, but 1t is
not impossible that it may some day be-
come republican state.

The Money Question.
Part six Is devoted to the money Ques-
ton. The first chapter is a record Of Nc
kinley's broken pledge for international
bimetallism. and demonstrates, by the
speech OF Senator Wolcott and by McKin-
ley's message in favor of the Indianapolis
gold standard plan that an international
agreement for bimetallism was only pre-
vented by treacherous blow by Mckinley
himself, when II was on the eve of con-
summation. Senator Wolcott quotes from
the speeches of members Of the British
this fact. The interesting statement is
made that during McKinleys cdministra-
ton Secretary Gage has coined 53,OW,O(O of
'ffty-cent clipped dollars all of which are
preserved by the gold standard act as
legal tender. Mr.. Gage has just expressed
great fear that IL Mr.. Bryan is elected he
would cause these 53,O0O,0O0 Of Gage dol
lars to be paid out of the treasury as
money. An analysis of the gold standard,
national bank, anti-greenback financial bill
Is given. mainly from the speech of Sena-
tor Teller, together with Senator Chand-
lers protest against the same. The rela-
tons of the Standard Oil National City
Bank of New York with the Treasury De-
partment and Its purchase of the old New
York City custom house are fully set
forth 1t is shown that this healthy
institution is an annex of the Treas
ury Department. and paid the Uniteu
States over 100000 for the custom house,
by keeping that amount in its own posses
sion as a part of its own non-interest bear
ing government deposits; also that the title
to the building remained with the United
States by deferring the payment Of the
other small portion of the purchase money
indefinitely, in order to cheat the state and
city OF New York out Of legal taxes.
Labor and Pension LegislatiOn.
Labor organizations and the treatment
they have received from the two great par
ties respectively form the subject of i'm
portant chapters. The chapter on pensions
shows that not. only the pension cct in
favor of the soldiers has been construed
greatly to the disadvantage of thousands
of them but that the present commissioner
persistently disregards a new act passed
expressly to do away with such miscon
structions. Other minor subjects are dealt
with The text book will be found to deal
with all the living issues Of the campaign
and to truthfully show from the record the
attitude of each party upon them. Writers
and speakers will find in it abundant ma
terial to aid them in their labors, and ref
erences to sources of information from
which they can make further investiga-
tons"
