Yesterday in the courthouse at Smith- field, twenty-five hundred people came together to hear our senator .Matthew Wr Ransom. The Senator's speech was upon big lines. He congratulated the people of Johnson upon the outlook, andr thrill- mgly went back for a moment to the time when he had been in elbow touch with the men around him; reterred in cidentally to his forty years of public as sociation with them and their brother North Carolinians, approached the great questions upon which the Democratic party had gone into power and vindica ted its record, and concluded ; with a broad contrast between Democracy, Re publicanism and Populism in this coun try. . " v .. - Capt. Kitchen was tempted several times to applaud, but was approached by his more self -con trolled ally Captain Creech . and apparently held down by that Populistic potentate. Afterwards CaptainlKitchin said that Borne passages of the Senator's speech had almost brought tears to his eyes. The little bunch of Populists present all seemed to be affected in the same way as was their leader, Captain Kitchin. The speaker first took up the deliv ance that had come to usdn the repeal of the Federal Election Law, and dwelt upon the dark days through which we had been to Iret to the light. The speaker was magnificent in this portion of his speech and was tumultuously ap plauded. Taking up the tariff next, he said we had under the Republican regime to pay $13,000,000, in bounty and one-half cent per pound on Refined Sugar which amounted to $25,000,000 and yet be ex claimed with emphasis they say the Re publicans gave us free, sugar. - - Free sugar was wanted by the Demo crats but by the action of the few Sena tors, we had to lose Our whole tariff bill or submit to the claims of the Louisiana Senators as well as of Mr. Allen of Kan sas. By the legislation, however, the Democrats had put $43,000,000 into the Treasury instead of into the hands of the trusts. The Republicans took the income tax away from one of the greatest sources of revenue. The. Democrats had put a tax of two per cent on all incomes over $4,000. - Mr. Hill voted against it, the balance voted for it. By the Income tax $50,000,000 is taken from the shoulders of the laborer. Yet you hear that the Democratic party i3- under the influence of trusts, when in that $50,000,000, 75 cents is saved to each inhabitant in this country. But I must hurry on I wish I could read to you the tariff act. The strongest features of the bill, are those attacking the trusts. Itcondemns every man engaged in trusts to fine, im prisonment and ruin. There will be a temporary rise in sugar, but there will be a saving in everything else. My countrymen, do not leave the Democratic party. Do not give up the party of your life. We have reduced the taxes 25 per cent.; we have broken up the trusts; "from July 1st, 1893, to July 1st, 1894, the Democrats reduced the expenses of the government $28,865,000. This was in our first year, and I defy any man to contradict it, saved this to the American people. . I tell you to stand by the Democratic party. By the River and Harbor Bill $12J000,000 more were saved, making $41,000,000 in all. $41,000,000 saved by Democratic pru dence and honesty, and my fellow-countrymen, you know that I would not de ceive you for this arm. Then there are the Repeal of the Fed eral Election Law, adoption of the Tariff Law, crushing out of trusts, cheapening of prices, and reduction of taxes. jjo tne proper . tning and approve them. I have been speaking to you forty seven years and no man has ever dared to dispute one word I ever spoke to the people. My God, my friends, my country, how can such delusions as those of the Third party have a footing in this land ? I have walked down the Potomac by the tomb of . ashmgton to the Sea. have looked toward the North and its progress without envy. Then I have turned toward the South during its mo ments of brightness and darkness. What has brought it brightness? The Demo cratic party, aud that is why I stand by it. The Democratic nartv is and ever will be the true friend to the Southern people. Neither calumnies nor injus tice has ever shaken it in the faith of the South. Listen, tell me if I am not right? Come and reason, and -revere home and wives and the graves of your fathers. But two Southern men were put in the cabinet at Washington during twenty years of Republican rule. Think of it, ye Popnlists and Republicans ! But the Southern Judge was ever put by them upon the Supreme Bench, Judge Jack son, of Tennessee, two weeks before Piesident Harrison went out of office, because he knew it was necessary in or der to get the confirmation in the" Sen ate. ' . ' ' For twenty years there was not a Southern man in the offices of the Cap itol, 'i This great section was blighted with darkness. Come and tell me what man from North Carolina was in high office under Harrison ? One man in this State. of 1,700,000, the first State to pro claim liberty. Oliver Dockery.did have a consuisnip in Kio. They gave John Nicho's a $2,000 position. - Who did Mr. Harrison appoint? I had one Dem ocrat, Judge Thomas Fuller, appointed. What else did Mr. Harrison do? . Mr. Cleveland put three Southern men in his cabinet during each term. He filled the foreign courts with Southern men. In everyjeorridor at Washington you see honest, brave Southern men. Justice has been done us by the Dem ocratic party. Three Supreme Court Judges have been appointed; two of them, Lamar and White, were frora the bouth. You cannot get this justice for the south accept at the hands of the Demo cratic party. Justice is immortal and omnipotent, justice which is the law of God, which holds the sun in Jits plabe, which keeps the grass green and women true. God may have Bhaken my reason, but if these are truths, I cannot see how a Southern man can vote for other than the Democratic party. -. This commonwealth of ours embraces 52,500 square miles Of territory. The great waves of . other lands strike the sands of ours and. our mountains lift their hands almost to the sky.- j Contrast the commonwealth now with what it was between 1868 and 1875. We now lie down with unlocked doors and in peace under the shield of the Democratic party. , The taxes in North Carolina are lower than in Any other agricultural State in the Union. . Will you put a blot upon it, I ask you, in the name of 500,000 children ; and of 500,000 . women, m memory of the ashes, of.-your v-fathers, of your brave brothers who lie on .the red hills of Virginia. How well we know of the race prob lem that confronted us 1 ; Lighnings flashed ' from: that cloud with deadly brilliancy, the world dreamed, philoso phers wrote and women trembled. Now the great race question is being settled in peace. . - . . Thev tell vou thev will remedy all things. Thev are in error. What does Mr. Peffer say? The last resolution of his was this: Resolved that all the revenues necessary to carry on this government be raised on $500,000,- 000. of what-of your lands. Their annronriation bills amounted to more than there is money in the whole world. Peffer, Allen and Kyle were their spon sors. We wouldn't nave enougn money in the world by three or four - thousand millions of dollars to carry out their pro visions. - (Laugnter.) ; The bill came to take taxes off State banks. How did the ten Populists vote? Every one voted against it.C They sent Coxey, an adventurer, with an army of 300 to the steps of the capi tol at Washington.5 Debs raised a riot, drove millions of men from work. . The Populists gave us mobs, wreck, blood and fire. . : - ; " Grover Cleveland, great and noble and patriotic man as he is (great applause,) both of the great parties rose up as one and applauded Cleveland when he , sup pressed their lawlessness. This land which is the light of the world, do you want to turn it over to the mob. It must not be. Tennessee has said no by 33,000 majority, Ala bama by 30,000. Arkansas by 30,000 and Virginia by 40,000, and just here you will find North Carolina (tremen dous applause.) After thirty years of darkness and misery and prayers from our sweet wo men we are Jiow upon the borders of the promised land. We have peace. The next j time, the Democrats will come to the great work upon the finan cial problem and before the 4th day of next March. 1 believe in gold and sil ver being equal and paper money re deemable in the metal. The Democrat ic party has only one more duty and that is to give you good currency which it will do. . The speaker compared the Populists to the Iraelites crying for the flesh pots of Egypt while Moses was. receiving the law from God on the heights of bainai Men of-erth Carolina, do we intend to emulate the IsreauteS wmle we are on the borders of light? This must not be." -v. ;- . This party born witb the Union is the party for eternal justice. It will stand and survive. . . Go home, organize, in every township. Do not be over confident. Do your work. Invoke the blessing of God and I pray Him to give us victory over the enemy, by our women with infants upon tneir bosoms, and see tnat the party is preserved intact in this county of prog ress and of law. The orator sat down in the midst of an ovation, with tears in the eyes of his hearers. He had won the victory even over his opponents. Marvelous Regatta. From a letter written by Rev. J.

Special to Kews and Observer. - : . " StatesviixE, N. C Sept. 24. Sena tor Jams was met at Salisbury by a committee, consisting of Messrs. & W. Boshamer, J. II. Hofiman and R. R. Clarke, who took him in charge and es corted him into the arms ;of the" assem bled multitude which was eargly await ing hisajTival. The senator had recovered trom nis recent illness and if there had remained even thej slightest rigor or chill either political br physical it could but have vanished m this salubrious atmospbere of political and physical bouyance. J. :. The streets of Statesville are lined with ".waving elms, whispering aspens arid majestic Oaks, each tinted with the first touches of autumn and vibrating with the strains of music from the States ville band. ' They were fringed with a strong line of the sturdy yeomen of Ire dell Democracy who had left whitening cotton fields, ripening tobacco fields and parching fodder fields to listen to a great eader of Democratic ' thought and a great expounder of Democratic princi ples, :y Arrangements had been made for the Senator to speak in the court house square; a platform was erected and seats provided!, but just before the speaking? began, t commenced raining, so the j meeting iadjoumed into the court house ! where iiij a moment not a foot of stand-! ing rooni was left, while round about j the court house many stood who could not get even standing room within. j At least seventy-five per cent, of the vast audience were from the country and a good number of Populists and RepubUcans both white and colored were present. "'- ' '; .. Mr. Charles H. Armheld introduced the Governor saying, "This is Jarvis and and his theme is Democracy."' ; "Itis," said the speaker, "the same Jarvis, who in the days of- '68 and '70 Bmote and spared not. Hear him for his cause, for his cause is your cause and mine." Senator Jarvis began by thanking the people for the honor they did him in leaving their homes and their busi ness ana coming out to hear him. "If I am anything," said the speaker I am but what the . people 'have made me, and can stand Deiore tnis vast audi ence and say truthfully . that whether in high plapes or low I have always been or tried to be a friend to those people: I came tp talk to you in a plain frank manner and in the kindest of feelings to wards every man in this audience, be he Democrat, Republican or Populist. have come to persuade them, if there be any vfho are not already persuaded, to remain . true to the onty parijtv that has a broad and genuine sympathy for the masses of this country.'; . I want to say in the beginning without fear 0f con tradiction that there has been noi great reform having for its purpose the up building and elevation of the plain peo ple of trjte land except what has come from tbe Democratic party. ; This is a bold statement but it true, and the truth is always brave and bold. i " ' 'I recbgnize the fact that there are men here who diner irom me in pon tics, and I am not going to say a harsh word to them or about them; Tam here to persuade them to think as I think and to act as I act and to act above all things for themselves, remembering that m this country every mm is a sovereign, this government is his government and is not only "entitled to his best thought and attention but demands it. : "It is true you can't administer the government directly, you must do so through' agents, and as . one of your agents representing thegreatDemocratic party, I. am before you to-day to render to you an account in part of his stew ardship of the great party. "I am not here to apologize but to tell plainly and unmistakably what it has done since it came into power since March, I8lJ3. - "Where it has done its full duty, 'I propose Ito say so and give you the rea son whyi, . "ine party," said tne senator, "prom ised the people three great things: first, a clean, honest and economical admin istration; of the government; second, an adjustment of tariff taxation that would lift someof the burdens from the shoulder of the people; third, a measure of financial reform that would restore to the country the prosperity that had - gone out from it under Republican . administrations. All other promises and principles revolved around these, three great principles of the party. "I want to introduce some evidence showing that the party has been truelR) these promises ; I want to give you some plain, candid, every day facts with which you can take a Populist or 1:he Republican by the hand and say to him. what ydu have been saying about the Democratic party haying done nothing is not true, ; and here are the facts i to prove they are not : I want to say first that there is no man in this audience who will udertake to say that the ad ministration of this government under that great, honest, able Grover Cleve land has not been clean, honest and economical. No man, elsewhere, will undertake to say it ; no Senator or Con- gressmrin, Democratic, Republican or Populist has ever said it or intimated it. Every dbuar that it taken out of the Treasury is your money and during the first year of Grover Cleveland s adminis irauon, ,ne nas savea to you in tne ex penditures or your government more than thirty millions of dollars (applause) The Senator here took up the tariff question, and said "Now, I want to play drummer awhile and show you people some samples, and at tne - same time qouteryouTsome prices before and after. Prices before the McKinley bill was repealed and prices after it was re pealed." "I want to say here," said the speaker, "that upon this question the Democratic party and the Republi can party divide, the Republican party believing in a tariff duty that will protect the manufacturer, foster trusts, build up the.money monarchies to grind down the people, while the Democratic party be lieves in the lowest tax upon which the affairs of the government could be ad ministered on an economical basis, and, on this great question, our friends, the RepubUcans and Populists divide until very recently when by some wonderful surrender of principle they had got up what was known as Fusion f Confusion Profusion or something else, I don't know what to term it. , - "It is the principle of that party with which these our : former friends have fused to lay a heavy protective tariff tax upon the commodities and manufactured articles that are brought into this coun try and to give the trusts and combines of this country five dollars out of-every six of that protective tariff,, the go verm ment getting only the one remaining sixth. Just how our Populist friends are going to harmonize their proclaim ed ideas of tariff reform with these principles , of the Republican party, I am unable to understand. - -"I want to tell you," said the' Sena tor, "how the Democratic party has kept its pledge to the people on this tariff question. ' - I have heard and I hear men every day saying, .-, 'Oh yes,- the Democralic party put a tax on suear well it did, and I want to tell you why it didv : The McKinley law taxed the peo ple of this country to pay the sugar re finers of this country two centsion every pound of sugar raised in this country and one half cent per pound additional for - refined sugar. The Democratic house passed a bill putting sugar on the free kstr and I wished that that bill could have been passed through the Senate but it could not. The party had a large mojority in the House, but only three in the Senate. ; Senator Hill served notice that he would not support any tariff bill enbodymg an mcome tax; then the- two Louisiana Senators de clared that they- would support no bill, unless a tax was placed on sugar, so it was either, have no tariff reform at all, or else place a small tax on sugar and the Democrats, rather than see a tariff legislation defeated, consented to this tax." The Senator then produced Bam pies of woolen goods, and demonstrated to the people the difference in the prices under the McKinley bill and under the new tariff bill, showing that a piece of ladies' dress goods that cost seventy eight; cents a yard under the McKinley bill could now be bought for 51 cents, and a piece of gentleman's cassimere. formerly worth 9o cents, could now be bought "for 65 cents. He touched forcibly upon the fact that bagging, ties and other necessaries of the people had been placed on the free list; he dwelt at length upon the great benefits' that would come to the people from this re vision of the new tariff, : and . declared mat, it tne Democrats were Kept in power, every promise made to the peo ple would be fuihlled. Coming to finances he said that he wanted, nrst, to. declare positively and unequivocally that he stood flat-footed, and with not the slightest tremor, for money on a bi-metallic basis and as firmly as he believed in the Christian religion; that be was a firm, frank and immovable advocate of the free and un- liihited coinage of both gold and silver at the-ratio of 16' to 1 ; that the Demo cratic jfiirty was the! fhend of silver and its only? friend among the parties of this country, specially since tie Populists had sold out to a party th$t was silver's bitterest enemy. r 'Put your trust in the Democratic party,' declared the Senator, "and keep it there, and in due time would al other reforms would be inaugurated and prosperity come unto homes of the people. ; In his defense of State Gov ernment . Senator Jarvis was simple. powerful m nis plain, but convincing way. He painted a picture of '69 and '70, then , painted one of to-day, and asked his audience to look on the two. on the one, a .depleted Treasury, wrecked securities, crippled institutions, no - schools, an exhausted judiciary. dungeons crowded,- both -' white and black growing up in ignorance, high carnival held in highHplaces wasting the people s money ground out of them in high taxes, the people themselves al most despondent. ! Now we have homes for the unfortu nate of both raes, schools dotting every hill side and great and fllourishmg State institutions, and yet low taxes for our people to pay. Let me say with emphasis : the present government' of North Carolina is about as" perfect as human institution can be made. The Senator then paid a tribute to our judiciary, comparing them to the judi ciary that was declared to be exhausted when "military court martials were ar resting, trying and threatening to exe cute the peaceable, law-abiding citizens of the State. : He made a last final appeal to the people to stand by the party that had done so much for the State and country. arid closed amid rounds and rounds of applause. . It is the universal opinion that his great speech has done much good in Iredell. - The lied of the Catawba Kivrr Entered. Salisbury Watchman. Mr. C. G.'

What is the Seignioragre and What Has Been Used for . " . ;,. Cancellation and Be- " . . - :.- demption. Washington, : Sept. ' -17 A ereat many letters have been received at the Treasury Department recently,- making inquiries concerning tne coinage of sil- er dollars and the redemption and can cellation of Treasury notes; and in or er to ayoid the labor of repeating the information in answer to each letter Secretary Carlisle to-day dictated a memorandum on the subject for publi cation. " The memorandum quotes the first, .second and third sections of the Sherman -act under which the silver now held by the Treasury was purchased and says: v - - It will be seeri from the foresroing that the law provides that redeemed Treasury notes may be re-issued. : It also in the same action, imposes an express limita tion upon the power to re-issue by der Glaring that no greater or less amount of such notes shall be outstanding at any time than the cost of the silver bul- lon, and-the standard silver dollars coined therefrom then held in the Treasury purchased by such notes. When such notes are redeemed in gold there is no obstacle inthe way of their re-issues, because such - redemption does not affect the silver held in the Treasury under tne act of July 14. - 1890: but when they are redeemed with Bilver coined from the bullion purchased un der that act, they must be retired and cancelled, for otherwise there would be after the re-issue, a greater amount of notes outstanding than the cost of the silver originally purchased and then held in the Treasury, and this is ex pressly prohibited by the statute. The purpose of Congress was to prevent the duplication of the currency which would be the case if the notes and silver purchased with the notes could be outstanding aUthe same time. ; 'Treasury notes received in the ordi nary course of business, or redeemed in gold, or exchanged for silver dollars, not coined from the bullion purchased un der the act of July 14, 1890, are not re tired and cancelled. All such notes are re-issued. , Prior to the 1st day of July, 1891, standard silver dollars to the amount of $36,318,264 were coined from the bullion purchased under theact, The so-called gain or seigniorage arising from this coinage was $6,837,803, which was paid into the Treasury as a mis cellaneous receipt, leaving $29,480,461 to be held as a fund to provide for; the redemption of the Treasury notes as provided by law. At the (beginning of the present administration, this sum of $29,480,461 was still in the Treasury, and standard silver dollars to the amount of . $1,597,223 have been coined since that time. Of this last sum, however. $520,079 was seigniorage, - leaving $1 077,144 to be held in the Treasury. It appears hertofore, that the whole coin age under the act has been $37,905,487, and the amount to be held in the Treas for redemption purposes was $30,557, 605. Of this sum $4,121,000 have been used in the redemption, of notes and that amount has been retired and can celled .No .treasury note has been re deemed in silver unless silver was de manded, the policy and practice of the department having always been to re deem in the kind of money demanded by the holder of a note. The presenta tion of the Treasury notes for redemp tion in silver began in August, 1893 when there was a great scarcity of cur rency of small denominations; and there was redeemed during that ' month $1 273,267, which is the largest amount that has been paid during any one month. As shown above, there were held in the Treasury at the beginning of this administration $29,480,461 in silver, coined from the bullion purchased under the act of July, 1890. "- Notwith standing the fact that $1,597,223 have been coined since that time, there are now on hand only $26,189,724' IlakiuK aU Possible Amends.

T":'"" The Sanford Express of last week says the-nominee of the Populists" of Moore county for the State Senate, to repre sent Moore and Randolph counties, in his speech in the convention accepting the nomination "favored reducing the salaries of school teachers and. officers about two-thirds, to conform to the prices received by farmers for their pro ducts." This great salary cutter didn't say whether he included in the cut the pay received fey members of the Legisla ture, but we presume not, for that, in the event of his election, would be com ing too near home. 'But judging from his style of reform he wouid.be a highly paid representative even at a two third reduction of pay. " ' t " The Louisville Couries Journal says that ."instead of asking Jones to resign, it would be a good idea if " the rotten borough State of Nevada jwauld resign. In 1876 it cast nearly 20i000 , votes in 1892, 10,878. ir Ita votes grow less at every election. - It is a travesty on pop ular government that . this decaying mining camp should ,have two United States Senatorships to sell." Highest of all in Leavening Tgvrct. Latest Ui S. Gov't Report n OUR CANDIDATE FOR SOLICITOR. ' Ashboro Courier. " , Emery" E. Ra per, of Lexinston.N.C. the candidate on the Democratic ticket of this, the eighth judicial district, is a compamtavely young man, , and has never neia any very prominent public position ; so, many of . our readers " are not presumed to" know him. It will not be considered improper if we give at some length an account of the ca reer of one of the ablest lawyers in the state. Mr. Raper. is the son of a highly" re spectable farmer of Davidson county. He Was raised a farmer's boy.'- His father was a fairly well to do farmer, but having a large family to provide for, was unable to give him other than a common school education. By dint of his own exertions he was enabled to obtain a collegiate education and graduated at Yadkin College with the highest distinction in the year 1882, before be was 19 years of age. He again turned his attention to raise means to prosecute his studies further. ' He en tered in 1884 the law : school of Dick & Dillard at Greensboro, where he applied himself with such great assiduity as to win the encomiums of his instructors and to elicit from them the declaration "that he had a better legal . mind than any student who had ever entered their' school:" : ' While reading law at Greensboro, and while yet not quite 21 years of age, he was elected Superintendent of Publie Instruction for Davidson county., , He was unanimously re-elected for a second term. He declined the third term, preferring to devote his titbie exclusively to the practice of law, which, by this time, had greatly increased. Mr. Raper obtained license in Febru ary, leao, and went . to Lexington where he formed a partnership with Capt.- F. C. Bobbins, one of the ablest lawyers in the State. . By November of that year he had two or three eases in the 'Supreme Court. He represented his firm in the argument of those cases in that court. He had never heard a case argued before that court when he went to argue his own case. His state ment of facts was so clear, his knowl edge of law so extensive, and his argu ment so profound that be actually as tounded Chief Justice Smith, who remarked afterwards to Hon. M. H Pinnix, one of Davidson's most distin guished citizens, and one of the State's ablest -lawyers, "Who is that man Ra per ? He astonished the court to-day by his learning, his tact; and his argu ment." For ten years he has given his atten tion to his profession, his office always open for business, except in political campaigns, when he would shut up his office and spend his money, time and talents in the interest of Democracy He is a first-class lawyer and a man of first-class ability. He is able to meas ure arms with the best lawyers in the district. He will ably vindicate the majesty of the criminal law. Mr. Raper was born a gentleman, raised a gentleman, and lives a gentle man. ' He is a man of the strictest in tegrity, of the highest honor, and ot undoubted truth, ever true to his clients and fair and honorable in every relation. His election is assured, and there will be no better solicitor in North Car olina than Emery E. Raper. Mr. James Brown, superintendent of Long Islanu Cotton Mills, in Catawba county, just across the Iredell line, was found dead in his store last week. Mr. Brown had been missing articles from the store and stayed there Wednesday night to watch for the thief. Early vesterdav morninsr his daughter went to the store, as is her custom, and find insr the door unlocked entered and saw her father lying dead on the floor with a bullet hole in his breast. There was evidently a fearful struggle before Mr Brown was killed. There is no clue to the murderer. A RETIRED BUSINESS WOMAN. A Page From Her History.
