I rents. FiJIDAY, June 19, 1891. SILVER IS 1ST2 AS1 1S91. As r.ii eviuer.ce of the depreciation of the value of silver on account of its demonetizing by the Republicans iu 1873 we copy the followir. statement from the Super intendent of the U. S. Mint at Phila delphia to a citizen of this placu : 'To-day the pure silver in a dol lar is worth 75.7 cents ; in 1S72 1.03. "Twenty silver dollars in 1872 veit worth S20.C0 in gold ; now t!ey are worth S15.14'' No wonder there is such a demand for a return to the old system. THE j j: o a missive f. t r- MER ALRIGHT. The Ohio Republicans have been holding their State convention this week. McKinley was nomi nated for Governor by ac- cairnation. I n a few w e e k s the Democrats will meet and nomi nate Gov. Campbell. Then will be gin one of the hottest campains ever wasred in a State noted for hot cam- paigns. ne JllcJinjey nign iarm bill will be on trial and will be the uppermost topic of the speeches. Campbell is a fine campaigner but has made many bitter enemies in his own party by interfering with local affairs in Cincinnati. The campaign will be watched with much interest by the whole country. question just riovris, will our breth ren have enough of wise conserva tism to undertake, with might and main, the things that are possible, or will they take the un written and unspoken risks of at tempting the doubtful? In a few words, these are the ques tions that press lor answering now, and they must be, they will be answered one way or the oth er, within the next lew months. Do we need the union of all our forces? Do the needs ol the country demand the union of all our forces? Can we with disuni ted and contending factions? Shall the conservatism that has alwavs been the boast of the far ming classes make itself domi nant in the present crisis? We assure our readers that these are immensely important questions. As these questions shall be an swered so shall it be well or ill with the Alliance movement. We are rejoiced to see such a de cided change for the better in the tone of'the Progressive Farmer. Last w eel; and the two .receding weeks its views about the third party and its unconditional insistence on all the demands of the Alliance were ex tremely radical. This week the edi torials are the soul of conservatism. V copy two of the most striking of them, and commend their spirit to all our Alliance friends. In advising the Alliante not to relegate the tar ii: to (he rear, in pressing the the i':ve coinage of silver and other demands the Progressive Farmer ti.Lts the same view The Enterprise Las been urging for several weeks. We s:i:d last week that it was almost cert nii. tLf-t the r.extCongress would pass Lii.s lor a reform of the tar iff and for the free coinage of silver, and could see no reason for farmers going into a third parly when these aie two of their leading demands. e are glad to see the Progressive Farmer now takes about the same position. It says it will not do to run the risk of defeating these two reforms by insisting cu others that are doubtf j. This is wise counsel. We endorse it and commend it to our readers. As the people have begun to see the effects a third par ty wouid have we hope the crisis that seemed to threaten the South, the Democratic party and the Alliance ttas about passed by. SHORT Sol ES OS CUR REST AFFAIRS. President L L. Polk has issued a circular to the .State Alliances calling on them to take steps for holding a meeting in each Congressional Dis trict sometime in September. In the West these district meeting? are to be followed up by county meetings. Last week at Indianapolis, Presi dent Harrison's old home, a meeting of prominent Republican politicians who are opposed to Harrison was held, to start a movement in favor of the nomination of Blaine. Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Ohio, Iowa i nd several other "Western States were represented. One of tne principal speakers, who is very close to Blaine, gave assurances that there would be no letters like those of 1888 written by ilr. Blaine and that he would ac cept if nominated. All classes in England are much wrought up over the disclosures made in the famous backarat scrn dal trial in London last week. The evidence was conclusive that Sir William Gordon-Cumming, the present head of a family with a long pedegree and an iliustrius soldier, had been guilty of cheating at a gambling . table at which tt.c Prince of Wales was bank er. Tim Prince has been handled in a merciless manner by the preach eivi and the press for his gambling habits and some declere that monarchy has received a severe blow by the disclosures made at the trial. ShouldQueen Victoria die soon, there would be such a formid able opposition to the succession of the Prince to the throne that a revo lution might be the result. The appointment of Col. Thoa. C. Fuller, of Raleigh, as Associate Jus tice of the important new United States Court known as the Court of Land Cla irus has given universal satisfaction all over North Carolina, and Senator Ransom has been highly complimented for securing the place for a North Carolina Democrat. It ia another evidence of his wonderful influence in Washington. Durin Cleveland's administration it was the general belief in Washington that his recommendation on any subject would outweigh that of any other ten Democrats in the Senate. The i:n ..i.u.m.: it- viu ebiauusuing ima new court pro vides that not more than three of the five judges should belong to the iarne party. It is but natural that From our new9 department it will be seen that even in Kansas, the birth-place of the third party, the Cincinnati baby is receiving a black eye. The farmers refuse to be led by the nose any longer by PefFer and are returning to the Republican party. This is what would have taken place anwav next vear. But seeing that the effort to seduce the South from the Democratic party, the white man's only refuge of safety, they haye decided to delay their going no longer. The South is to be con gratulated that the Southern Alli ance is composed of too cool-headed and patriotic men to bite at such a bait as was thrown out at Cincin nati. WISE COUNSEL. Progressive Farmer. Is it wise for the friends of leform in our national affairs to ignore the reform of the tariff and put all their strength into the agitation in favor of the Sub Treasury bill and in favor of the free coinage of silver ? We answer this question without one moment of hesitation with an em phatic negative. It is constantly assumed by the reform press that the tariff is not a financial measure at all. This assumption is violent and unfair. It is, indeed, the most vital financial question that is now before the people, or that can come before the people. Any ether meas ures of financial reform will be only partial and unsatisfactory without such a modification of our tariff system as will amount to the entire regeneration of our customs regula tions. The mere statement of this truth must carry conviction to any mind that is capable of reasoning upon these questions at all. Some who read this article may be inclined to say that the free silver issue should not be abandoned in favor of the tariff issue. Most cer tainly not. Those who think that the pressing of the tariff reform is sue involves the abandonment of the free silver issue, have little ability to think upon this or upon any other question of public policy. These two issues are related, and they should be presented together. The Ocala demands call for reform in the tariff just as loudly and just as im peratively as they call for the free coinage of silver. And those who exalt the one and slur the other over as unimportant, are not wise. To select one issue of such a complication of infamous legislation as the country is suffering under at the present time is a very short sighted and narrow, if not a posi tively blind and fatuous policy. But towards such a policy the agita tions and discussions within the Alliance seems to be drifting. One hears a good deal nowdays about being true to Alliance demands ; and not a few men have been denounced as Judases and traitors to the Al liance, because they do not agree with the majority upon certain ques tions of method. We want to re mind those who are so ready to deal in denunciation against their breth- ren, that the reform of the tariff is just as much a part of the Alliance demands as is free silver. And we want to remind our brethren also that the man with one idea is dan gerous in more senses than one. We are in favor of tariff reform? and we are in favor of free silver' because we think the Alliance can get' these measures, and because we think that the men in the other parties, who will help them to get these reforms, will be willing to unite with them to secure any other reforms that may be demanded for the good of the country. We say it emphatically that those who press the silver issue to the ignoring of the tariff issue, are neither wise ad visers nor safe leaders in this crisis. It seems certain that the Alli ance can get two of its measures the free coinage of silver and the reform of the tariff through the next Congress. It seems also certain that the securing of these two measures would give the or- "1 1 i iT.t uor sucn prestige witn tne coun try by relieving the situation that it could demand any other just measure of reform with the certainty of success. The vital STATE NEWS, The first train of Georgia water melons passed Charlotte last Friday. Thev are becinninfir to flood the country now. We are sorry to learn tl at Brother Eldridge of the Lexington Dispatch and his wife are both confined to their home on account of sickness. A construction train on the W. N. R. R. ran into a cow at Coopers, last Saturday and was thrown from the track. One necro was killed and another was was badly hurt. Some of the wheat has already been harvested, and a good deal of oats cut. Wheat still promises well; winter oats are good, and spring oats very poor. Statesville Land mark.

Stewart, near Fancy, went in'o the barn Wednesday and picked up an armful of fodder. In the fodder was huge copperhead snake, which fell out of his arms upon his foot and crawled off. King's Mountain News. A gentleman informed a Sun re porter yesterday evening that a gen tleman of Chatham county has at last solved the problem of perpetual mo tion and is coming to Durham to exhibit his machine. He was ex pected here yesterday, but did not arrive. Durham Sun It is said that pine oil rubbed on the head and under the wings of chickens will cause the fleas, or "jig gers," which attract fowls to disap pear. A great many people lose young chickens by these pests, and anything to get rid of them is of in terest to the community at large. Wilmington Star. The Board of education at a meet ing June 10th selected Greensboro as the site of the "Girls Training School" and elected Prof. Mclver president and Prof. Alderman pro fessor of English. Greensboro gave 820,000 in cash and a site worth 813,000. I. Watt Hood, a juror in the Fed eral Court at Charlotte trying the big case for damages by the Bou- sach Cigarette Machine Co. vs the Dukes of Durham, did not appear last Saturday and the case could not go on. Late in the evening he was found in the woods crazj, caused by the breaking of a blood vessel. The case waa compromised. Durham and Graham came down with 30,000 for the Industrial and Training School before it was deci ded to locate it at Greensboro. They are both splendid towns and it was therefore more to Greensboro's cred it. The fight between Durham, Gra ham, Thomasville and Greensboro was- spirited and all of them deserve good schools.

ALLIANCE NEWrS Chicago, June 15. A Topeka, Kan., special says the returns re ceived by the Alliance Executive Committee from sub-Alliances,whicb were asked to pass judgment on the work done by the Cincinnati Con vention, are far from encouraging to the People's Party politicians. It is known that twenty-five sub-Alliances have repudiated the third party movement. Fifteen of these have re ported to the State Alliance, and ten to the Republican Central Commit tee. The Cloud County Alliance has adopted the following resolutions: Whereas, The South was not rep resented in the Cincinnati Conven tion; and whereas, we believe the third party will disrupt the Republi can party to the benefit of the Dem ocratic party; therefore be it. Resolved, That we abandon the Third party to return to our past affiliations. These resolutions, it is said, have double significance because Cloud country is the home of Senator Wheeler, the only Alliance member of the Senate, and has always been considered the People's party stronghold.
