That meeting Friday night was a daisy. It was a meeting of the beat element. The manufacturers ana the mill ggltjiiauuo uric nicir, iuc ejue tbe merchant and his clerks were there the contractor and his cm. p'oycea wee there the mechanic and l he day laborer were there. It made my heart feel glad, bubble up and oyerflow to see that ghost of De mocracy materialize thusly. I have always thought there was a likeness, a resemblance, a similitude between politics and religion iu this way. The common, every Sunday eeryice and the Sabbath school is left to the women and the small fry, whilst the heads of families, worn out with a hard week's labor, or laid up with the seventh -day headache rest. Let a protracted meeting, a revival, or something out of the regular old John Trot styla come along, and some'big gun v. ith an affix of 1. D. or anythii g else 13 announced to aid the pas. or loci, then all lethargy is thrown aside and the zeal of these old fellows is beyond comp ire. They turn out en masse In politics our great guns ignore the little munici--pal skirmishes, hold back their heavy artilery of solid shot and caa nister for National and State battles. They forget that the municipal or township skirmish line does half the duty, they forget that this i3 the field on which young Democrats are taught to shoot straight. Thi3 is the only true educator. Korner seidom takes a hand in politics, it is not his providence, but he has in his time and generation beheld lampant, roaring Democrats "kercoodling," mirgling and com mingleing with wiley, oily-tongned Republicans of every ehade and color on a Mayorulicy ; and he has often thought that if they could suck through the same quill out of the seme swill tub at home, why not keep it up at the national tank. Every voter's political bias should ba like hia church fealty; and he should be a regular attendant. Korner- would like to discuss many things, and a few he would lika to kuss, but implicit confidence in Democracy 'a choicj at the next el.ction of mayor aud aldermen makes him tee! serene. But our next board ought to regulate the tax o i unprofessional Tom and Jerry medicine men, outside bill poster?, and peripathetic venders I know not what of.

The Douglassite conclave, I see, has adjourned, I have followed its proceedins "ad nenseam" and find we are saddled with an increase of ten per cent, tax and some pie crust promises, without any life in the shortage of currency. I have al ways "had it in my head" that it was not a shortage of currency, but a shortage of capitul ;hat was hurt ing ns people down here. If we have the capital (available) we can j get the currency. Bimetalism, a combination, or gold and silver as a medium of exchange as money is what we want, Silyer alone is not a cure-all. There ia not a Southern man who would invest his capital with a prospect nf getting fifty cents on the dollar in a year hence, payable in silver muddle and reconcile the Republicrn and Fusion leader the milenimum will be near at hand.

REMEDY FOR THE SITUATION" It .Means ;12 l-'-ic Cotton Plenty of lloff ;and if oniiny Prosperity All Around.; . A correspondent of the Raleigh News and Observer offers the fol lowing suggestions: Experience has taught us what a crop of ten millions of bales of cot ton means. Credit broken down, the trade of the South broken down, the farmer and laborer bankrupted, and the present crop of children growing op in ignorance. A ten million bale crop of cotton means five cents per pound, and that' means a loss of fifteen dollars on eyery bale raised to tl e man who laised i;. That does not seem to be wise on the part of the farmers. Ten million bales at $20 per bale, means two hundred million dollars for the crop. Now what tloes a five-million-baIe crop means ? It uean8 12 1 cents per pound, cr $30 per bale. Five million bales, at $50 per bale, means two hundred and fifty millions of dollars for the crop, or fifty millions more money for a five million crop than a ten million crop besides half the land lying out lest ing, and all the cools teamp feed and labor of producing the other five million, bales thrown away, a 338 to the workingmen of tha ontb. tenjjdays. ordinary price would be $3.00 - , ZER. the balance of Iige sizalj To sum it all op, ic means for the farmers of the South to plant only half the acres in cotton thai were formerly planted and more acres it. corn and peas and oats and wheat. The racing of such large crops : cotton has demoralized and banks rupted the laborers of the country, for the reason that for fonr years past cotton has brought them in debt, Decides losing their years' work. A change from a whole crop to a half crop is the only remedy, as sup ply and demand regulate tbe price of cotton, instead of political parties. That change will necessarily give the working people a plenty of home products to sustain the home which L would recommened ai a care for all the evils we are now suffering. - S. M. Stom.
