In all my life I have nev ' : known au enemy .to the f;i:;:c'r not one. There are Ji nnies to lawyers, andt bank ers aud merchants, and manu facturei.' and editors and even (o i re;. c Lers ; but nobody has air.ti.iiu atainst farmers, they are U;e iiiiiveral favorites. If thfy suffer from the protection t'iven to manufacturers ievery b iv rl-e suffers with them. Th-re are pome inequalities that hive to b& endured. The tanfi rn utrar helps the sugar- pi:, iter and, brings eighty miiii -us of dollars of revenue. The tariff on rice helps the ri:v-i-lauter. This ought to mase me mad,- ,for I am -i n XI a . 1 J very toi;Q oi uoin. ana wouiu like to" get more pounds for a dollar, but I will do with less sugar and less rict before1 I will break up the farmers who are fmiratfed mi that business. They are .-nt.thern farmers, and need ail the protection they.jret. It lakes a sight of sugar right now t ). run silk the blackberries au i leu berries.

Corn is fifty per -cent higher now than it was then. The fanner who has it to sell is liapi y, and the one wl)0 has it to buy is unhappy. How are we .rum to fix these things " so ants had have banded together and held secret meetings and nominated two merchants what would the farmers say ? Suppose the negroes should do the same thing what j would the white folks says. Our peo ple are willing to take farmers, but thev would like to have some choice in the take.! . Class domination is as bad as class legislation We want harmony and co operation between all classes The farmers raises the corn, but it is not worth a cent without a mill to grind it and a wagon to haul it but the miller and the wagon-maker are excluded from co-operation. The blacksmith yiioes the horses and sharpens tbe plows. The merchant advances the supplies and all trades work to gether. The farmers complain that the merchants charge them too much profit on th6ir ad vances. That 33 another inis take. The merchants have got poor at that business, j Their books are full of bad debts. Every merchant in this town who made a specialty of ad vancing to farmers .has lost money and quit the business. Even Bob Patilla got short and couldent go it any longer. The wealthy farmer don't waut the advances, and the poor oue can't pay it the crop is poor. But we are going to try the farmers. We want them to build up the country schools We want them to fight the trusts. We want them to tax income and get rid ot tne pro tective, tariff. There ; is no other way to reform the re venue from some source. The eighty millions received from foreign sugar has got to come from somewhere. An increase tariff on the luxuries wont do it, for the tax will be so high they wont come here at all. There are two sides to this tariff business- Yes, there are half a dozen sides, and the wisest men in the nation are preplexed over it. But after all we are doing pretty well at the soutn, and have more blessings than we deserve.'

They love their country and do not favor Radicalism. They will not do anything if not misled to imperil free govern ment and the safety of the South. They have long been victims of oppression , and wrong doing. They have at last united for their own pro tection. They know the moral power as well as political pow er of numbers. They want nro tection and they demand recognition. . But they will not conspire. to wreck the Demo cracy, their only real hope, and reinstate the Radical gang of plunderers and incapables in any Southern State.

The Raleigh correspondent of the Durham Globe says : Mitchell county stands alone in making no return of tax for pensious. People from that countjr are sending apt plications for pensions to the state board. The latter has made a rule that they will pay no pensions to people in counties which reluse to levy or collect the pension .tax. This role is . made specially to fit the case of Mitchell county. Mentbs ago, when the returns were made and seut here, they were returned, so that the part regard' ing pensions, which was blank, might be properly filled. Later it was learned that no levy had been made. There is an intimation that the Mitchell people want to test the constitutionality of the pension act. The county, bas a bad reputa tion anyway; , but refusal to levy and pay this pension tax will give it a disgusting propainenee in tiat hue.

Charlotte chronicle. THE AGENTS OP THE GOLD BUGS. Lov far the administration is in earnest is shown by the fact that altough loud demands have been made for more cur rency for a year, yet the ad ministration has carefully ab stained from buying an ounce more of silver than the law forced it to buy. The law gives the Secretary discretion to buy up to -$4,000,000 a month, but he has never need ! bis discre tion. It is useless to say that such an administration favors silver. Rileieh ! News and Observer. A large bear was1 captured near Grtfton, Pitt' county, a few days since, says the KinBton Free Press. Trov Carroll, the 60 year old moonshiner from Harnett county is sick in the Raleigh ja:l and unable to go to the TJ. S. penitentiary at Columbus, Ohio, just yet. The Raleigh correspondent of the Dur ham Globe spoke to Carroll abont the profits of moonshlning. It dieen't appear that there are any profits. Carroll, for example, a few years ago owned 'a saw mill 169 acres of land and some good stock, also a neat dwelling, lie owed a little money on his saw mill and began moonshiuiug to raise that gum. He keptou after be started. Now be has no saw mill, has no stock; only his house and thirty acres, of land on which there is a mortgage.; if under sentenee to serve two years in the penitentiary at Columbus, -ana then to pay a fine. Taken altogether, it looks like Mr. Carroll is in the soup. It will be a general surprise and matter of interest to those who have watched the discus sion in the Senate on the silver problem, to learn of the victo ry gained this week by the free coinage men. Although a great uncertainty on the .sub ject prevailed, when it came to a vote in the Senate, the conser vative men were beaten at every point, and- by greater majorities than they had allow ed themselves to expect. Mr. Wolcott, the junior Senator from Colorado, made the final effort of consequence in the great . contest, it was his maiden effort before the Senate, ' aud the chamber, which has remained compara tivelv emDtv of late, was filled with an audience in anticipa tion of something worth listen ing to. He made a stirring sDeech. without the 'use of notes, and at the ' close was accorded an ovation, such as is seldom seen in ' the Senate. Ordinarily neither members or visitors in the. galleries pretend to listen to- a speech delivered in Congress. Ab though cofoamon decency is observed it As a great difficulty to hear an ordinary speaker. But the resonant voice of Mr. Wolcott penetrated every part of the chamber, senators amq tipstoeing from their cloak rooms to hear him, and others wheeled their) chairs in his direction, and intantly watched his line of argument, it was a compliment that is not fre quently offered an entirely new man in Congress, and at tne conclusion of his ovation he was surrounded by Senators anxious to extend their felicita tions. In the voting that fol lowed, absolutely no paity lines were obseived. Both Democrats aud Republicans were in favor of and against free coinage; which was passed by the Senate, and has, practi cally, become a law-. Of course, the concurence of the House and President is still required; but it is understood that a majority of the House are in favor of it, and that they voted for the House silver bill with the exDectatlon that it would be amended, to meet their actual views in the Senate. No difficuliy is apprehended in obtaining the President's ap proval of the bill ;, which is briefly as follows ; After its passage, -the value of a dollar is to be considered 412 grains silver, and 258-10, grains gold. That any one pos sessing as much as $100 worth of the precious - metals, may have it coined into money at any mint in the United States. - Silver is made legal tender ; as are also the certificates to be issued by the Treasurer in 'the mirchass of bullion. In fact the free coinage men got every thing they wanted, inclnding the restoration to circulation of the securities held by the U. S. Treasurer for the redemption of the circulation of the nation al banks. The Republican pa pers here blame the Finance Commi'.tee, and charge it ith the guilt of grave error In tactics; and in having placed the President in a very em barassing position. He had taken a very positive stand on the-question of fred coinage, but now that the ultra-silver men have developed such :' an unexpected strength, the PresK dent will either have to swal low the pill, or abandon any hopes he may enterrain for a second term of office. - The Anti-trust bill was pass ed Wednesday.- At a confer ence representing both Houses, botn receded from their previ ous demands in regard to amendments; and the 'bill as passed, is, practically, ini the same condition as first pro dnced by the Senate. The Finance committee of-the Senate reported the Tariff bill, as they had ' amended it Wednesday afternoon: and printed copies were distributed which were eageraly examined. A rough 1 estimate makes it appear that the committee's amendments increase the pub lic revenues, that expected from the McKinley bill, about $15,000,000, per annum. In this calculation, it is estimated that $10,500,000 is added by increased duties on tobacco. Other commodities imported are also increased in the tariff schedule above those rates nxeo in tne MMUnley bill ; as thepxtravagance oi the present administration has been '&6 excessive, no other course was left the committee, which had been loudly prompted by the Treasury department that a Dig dencit was liable to occur with the public purse. .r Binding twine which is used so largely by farmers now at harvest time, and which the Farmwrs Alliance have tried so hard, recently, to .have taken off the tariff list, is largely in creased in duty above that called for in the-McKinley bill There is great complaint that the bfll has been too hastily considered by the committee, and that where increases hae been made advance was too much : and that reductions in other shedules have been excessive. Incongruities also exist. For instance flax pays $20 per ton ; while its refuse, tow, pays $25. The bill will uot be called up before July 1st, but there is a prompt expression that the committee's report is unscien tific and too hastily drawn. In reference to the partiality shown Pension Atty., Geo. E. Lemon, recently, by the Com missioner of Pensions, some wicked punster here declares that the commissioner claims that he had received no i "Lemon aid."
