Thiiuirlils of Other Days.
There's a good old sacred nictn'ry that
is hanjlin' round tin" past.
And it kinder sweetens livin" anywhere
your lot is east :
Tlie'liiirden that you carry may be grow
in" mighty great.
Hut tliat good old by-gone feelin' sorter
lightens up the weight.
No matter about your raisin' whether
poor or whet her good.
Somehow a feller likes it. w hen he looks
lack, and he should:
because you then were livin as yolf 1!
never live again
And that good old by-gone feelin' is of
pleasure and of tain.
So many of us wander from our boy
hood's happy home.
Ami we never find another, though for
years and years we roam:
Our hearts grow eo!d ami stony from
the storms of ol her years,
I i it that good old by-gone feelin" often
lills our eyes with tears.
Tor it brings buck dear old mother, and
the home we loved so well
The children's evcnin' circle, and the
tales they use to tell
The school-day fun and frolic and the
old familiar plays:
Yes. that good old by-gone feelin' is of
bright and happy days.
but t hose days have gone forever with
their joys and with their cares.
And with them gone the mot her with her
tender love ami prayers;
And the friends we loved and cherished
have gone forever more,
l'ut that good old by-gone feelin", it
comes to us o'er and o'er.
Well, a feller's friends mav leave him j
and his money take its flight :
The health that once stood by him turn
to sickness in a night
He may lose his last position, and all
else beneath t lie skies.
Hut that good old by-gone feelin' it is
his'n'till he dies. '

to Mr. loild made her nest m the
forks of a tree. 20 feet from the

out a largv brood of chickens. The
nest, hen, chicks and all w ere brought
down intact.
'Squire S. W. Davis has a chicken
story, says the Charlotte Times.
Kighteen days ;igo the servant on his
place was after a chicken. It ran
into the wood pile and got dewn be
tween the wood in such a way that it
could not be gotten out. The chase
was stopped, it being supposed the
chicken would come out. Thursday
some one in throwing wood off the
pile found the chicken just where it
had been left. It had had not hing' to
eat or drink for IS days.
H. C. Penned tells us of the most
wonderful specimen of a chic ken that
we have heard of, as the Wilkesboro
Chronicle has it. It is at Mr. John
( laither's and was hatched out last
week. The little chick has four dis
tinct feet and almost two bodies.
j The second body, which is attached
to the main body by something like a
tube, lacks a head and neck in being
complete. The chick is alive and do
ing well and walks around just like
any other chick would. It uses all
four of its legs when it walks. Then
is nothing- like having a climate
adapted to all kinds of industries, as
Wilkes has.

If ox. Wm. L. Wi i.sox.
My Dear Sir: The certainty that a
conference will be ordered between
the two houses of Congress for the
purpose of adjusting; differences on
the subject of tariff legislation,
makes it almost certain that you will
be again called on to do hard service
in the cause of tariff reform. My
public life lias been socloseH related
to the subject, I have so longvd for
its accomplishment, and I have so
often promised its realization to my
fellow-countrymen, as a result of
their trust and confidence in the
Democratic party, that I hope no
excuse is necessary for my. earnest
appeal to you that in this crisis you
strenuously insist upon party hon
esty and g-ood faith and a sturdy ad
herence to Democratic principles. 1
believe these absolutely necessary
conditions to the continuation of
Democrat ie existence.
I cannot rid myself of the feeling;
that this conference will present the ! of SUtfU. lvririin,, interests. I know
best if not the only hope of true tult iu p,vs.nt conditions this is a
Democracy. Indications point to its j delicate subject and I appreciate the
actions as the reliance of those who 'depth and strength of the feeling
desire the genuine fruition of Demo-; its treatment has aroused. I
ei-atic effort, the fulfillment of Demo- j , not believe that we should do evil
cratic pledges snd the redemption of ! that good may come but it .seems
Democratic promises to the people, j tlut ViV sW,a not forget that our
To reconcile differences in the details ; .l5m Js tu completion of the tariff
comprised within the fixed and well- j bill, al,d that in taxing' sugar for
delined lines of principle will not be
the sole task of the conference, but
as it seems to me its members will
akso have in charge the question
whether Democratic principles them
selves are to be saved or abandoned.
There is no excuse for mistaking
or misapprehending the feeling and
the temper of the rank and file of
the Democracy. They are downcast
under the assertion that their party
fails in ability to manage the govern
ment, and they are apprehensive
that efforts to bring about tariff re
form may fail: but they are much
1 more downcast and apprehensive in
I their fear that Democratic principles
J will be surrendered. In these cir
J cumstances they cannot do otherwise
j than look with confidence to you and
i those who with you have patriotical
ly and sincerely championed the
cause of tariff reform within Deino-
cratic lines and guided by Democrat - ;
lc principle
This confidence
lJ
lm-;
f
vastly augmented by the action
der vour leadership of the Hour
Representatives upon the bill now
pending.
Every true Democrat and every I
j sincere tarit
j this bill in it
reformer Knows that
n-esent form as it will
be submitted to conferenc
falls far '
j short of the consummation for which
j "e "at .lon" ' w;i' we i
i nae suuereu ueieai wntioui uiscour-
agement: which, in its anticipation,
gave us a rallying cry in our day of
triumph, and which in its promise of
accomplishment is so interwoven
with Democratic pledges and Demo
cratic success that our abandonment
of the cause or the principles upon
which it rests means party perfidy
and party dishonor.
One topic will be submitted to the
conference which embodies Demo
cratic principles so directly that it
cannot be compromised. We have
in our platform and in every way
possible declared in favor of the free
importation of raw materials. We
have again and again promised that
this should be accorded to our peo
ple and our manufacturers as soon
as the Democratic party was invest
ed with the power to determine the
tariff policy of the country. The
has occurred to release us from our
obligation to secure this advantage
j to our people. It must be said that
i o tariff measure can accord with
surdity of such a proposed departure
should be emphasized by the sugges
tion that the wool of the farmer be
put on the free list and the protec-
tion of tariff' taxation be placed
around the iron ore and coal of
corporations and capitalists. How
'can we face the people after indulg
; ing in such outrageous discrimina-
. tions and violations of principle? It
is quite apparent that this question
of free raw materials does not admit
' of adjustment on any middle ground,
' since their subjection to anv rate of
; , . ,. . . ..,
l tanrt taxation, great or small, is alike
violation of Democratic principles
and Democratic grood faith.
I hie that you will not consider it
intrusive if I say something; in rela
tion to another subject which can
hardly fail to be troublesome to the
conference. " I refer to the adjust
ment of tariff taxation on sugar.
Under our party platform and in ac
cordance with our declared party
purposes, sug'ar is a legitimate and
logical article of revenue taxation.
Unfortunately, however, incidents
have accompanied certain stages of
the legislation which will be submit
ted to the conference, that have
aroused, in connection with this sub
ject, a natural Democratic animosity
to the methods and manipulations of
trusts and combinations. I confess
to sharing in this feeling; and vet it
seems to me we ought if possible to
sufficiently free ourselves from pre
judice to enable us to coolly weigh
the considerations which in formulat
ing; tariff legislation ougdit to g'uide
our treatment of sugar as a taxable
article.
While no tenderness should be en
tertained for trusts and while I am
decidedly opposed to granting; them,
under the guise of tariff taxation,
any opportunity to further their pe
culiar methods. I suggest that we
ought not to be driven away from
the Democratic principle, and policy
which lead to the taxation of sugar,
by the fear, quite likely exaggerated,
that in carrying- out this principle
and policy we may indirectly and in
ordinatelv encourage a combination
proper purposes and within reasona
ble bounds, whatever may be said of
our action, we are in no danger of
running' counter to Democratic prin
ciples. With all there is at stake
11, eiv- must 1... in 11, e l.-.-.t, t f I
this article some ground upon which i
we tire all willing to stand, where i
conciliation may be allowed to sol ve j
the problem, without demanding the !
entire surrender of fixed and consci- i
en t ious con vie t ion s.
I ought not to prolong this letter.
If what 1 have written is unwelcome,
I beg you to believe in my good in
tentions. In the conclusions of the
conference touching the numerous
items which will be considered, the
people are not afraid that their in
terests will be neglected. They
know that the general results as far
as these are concerned will be to
place home necessaries and comforts

to those who toil. We all know that

h(lU. nuK.h i deprecated thoi.icon.or-
ation into the proposed bill of the
income tax feature. In matters of
this kind, however, which do not vi
olate a fixed and recognized Demo
cratic doctrine, we are willing to de
fer to the judgment of a majority of
our Democratic brethren. I think
there is a general agreement that
this is party duty.
This is more palpably apparent
when we realize that the business of
our country timidly stands and
watches for the result of our efforts
t.) perfect tariff' legislation, that a
quick and certain return of prosper
ity waits upon a wise adjustment
and that a confiding people still trust
in our hands their prosperity and
well-being. The Demx racy of the
land pleads most earnestly for the
speedy completion of the tariff legis
lation which their representatives
have undertaken; but they demand
not less earnestly that no stress of
necessity shall tempt those they
trust to the abandonment of Demo
cratic principles.

National Capital .Matters.
From our Kcxular Correspondent.
Washington, D. C, July 21, 1S'J4.
The House to-day passed the Tuck
er resolution to change the constitu
tion so that United States Senators
may be elected by popular vote. This
resolution is the direct outcome of
the fight between the House and the
Senate over the tariff, which is far
ther from a settlement now than it
has been at all. No settlement of
the question is in sight. Many per
sons express the opinion that the
two houses will not agree upon a bill
in weeks, if at all, while others claim
that a few days will settle matters.
The whole situation is this in a
nutshell. The House passed the Wil
son bill, with raw materials on the
free list, and the Senate could not
got a sufficient numlior of votes to
pass the bill w ithout taking in a few
of the industries and putting a little
incidental protection upon them.
How or why this happened is a long",
long story, which has never come
out, and possibly never will, but so
it was. The feeling was rife that
the Demix rats in the Senate had done
their best, and would pass the best
measure they could. The opinion
then was prevalent that it was the
Senate bill or nothing that was to
pass, and the members of the House
generally agreed that while the Sen
ate bill did not accomplish all that
they had hoped in a tariff measure,
yet it was a step in the right direc
tion, and infinitely better than a sim
ple acknowledgment of the incapaci
ty of the Democrats to agree and pass
any measure whatever. This was
the genera! feeling', and if the House
and Senate conferees had agreed up
on the Senate bill it would have pass
ed the House without regret, as most
of the members wanted action more
than aught else, and would have ac
cepted the Senate bill for the time
being, and given subsequent atten
tion to its further perfection.
The question seems to be, will the
Congress adioiirn without a tariff
bill, or will it remain indefinitely in
session, or at least until after the
elections? The first is the logical pro
cedure, the second the politic one,
that is from all that can be learned
to-day.
Yesterday Representatives Hen

Representative Springer, of Illi

by a sub-committee of the House
committee on Labor, on his bill pro
viding for compulsory arbitration of
all disputes between employer and
employes, by a national board of ar
bitrators. Mr. Springer claims that
his bill covers every possible contin
gency that may arise, and that if it
be enacted into a law a long step will
be taken towards the solving of the
problem which has been so trouble
some of late. A number of bills deal
ing with the same subject are being
considered by the .sub committee.
Representative Hailey. of Texas,
was made happy this week when the
House, by a vote of 127 to 81, passed
his voluntary bankruptcy bill. He
has maintained ever since theTorrey
bankruptcy bill was defeated that a
majority of the House favored a na
tional bankruptcy law, and that it
was only because the Torrey bill put
it in the power of creditors to force
a man into bankruptcy when he con
sidered himself solvent that it was
defeated. The vote on Mr. Hailey "s
bill, which makes a man judge of his
own solvency, indicates that his
judgment was correct.

The tariff uncertainty continues to
exert a baneful influence upon the
world ttf trade. As President Cleve
land has forcibly declared in his able
letter to Chairman Wilson, ''the
business of our country timidly
stands and watches for the result of
our efforts to perfect tariff legisla
tion." The resumption of gold ex
ports has closed the week with a
new, although slight, cause for de
pression. The withdrawal of gold
($3,300,000) from the Sub-Treasury
at Xew York, for the first time in
ten days, has led to a multitude of
speculations concerning the drainage
of America's gold vaults by the na
tions of Europe. Grain is moving
toward Europe in such volume, how
ever, that large credits must st k tn ac
cumulate abroad for American ac
count, payment for which must lie
met with gold. The net gold exjutrt
since January 1 has ltoen $(11, 471.
333 a slight increase over the ex
portations during the corresponding
period last year.
The entire recovery of the rail
roads, in the East at least, from the
effects ttf the strike lias restored the
freight traffic of the land, and the
total shipments for the month, jutlg
by the present rush, will U far
above the average. Wheat is mov
ing rapidly eastward from the har
vest fields, and the Western packing
and provision industries have awak
ened from stagnation. The foreign
exportation ttf breadstuff's from the
five principal ports of the Atlantic
sealtoard during the past week dis
closes an aggregate falling off ttf
about 30 M-r cent, as compared with
the preceding" week: but the receipts
of grain at the principal interior re
ceiving points for the past week are
three times as large as were those of
j the week before.
The most hopeful sign noted during
last week has been the comparative
ly few and not very imjxtrtant fail
ures. The aggregate of liabilities
for the twelve days ended July 12
was $2,030,301;. of which $l,on'.l,K21
was of manufacturing and $,44S.20t
of trading concerns which is decid
edly below the average for the past
half year. The failures since the last
report have been 230 in the United
States, against 407 during the cor
responding time last year, and 44 iu
Canada, against 25 last year. Treas
ury receipts have been $2.0l0,3!tl for
customs, against $2,!Cl,r74 last year
and $7,474.."3 for internal revenue,
against $2,ii71.."ilS last year. The
extraordinary payments made to an
ticipate the increase ttf taxation on
whisky are rapidly locking up a large
amount of capital.
Cotton is dull at 71 cents. The
Sun's cotton review says: Prices
made a small decline, owing to local
and foreign selling'. generally favora
ble crop news, and unfavorable trade
reports from abroad. Dry goods
have been more active the past week,
but bleached cottons have touched
the lowest prices on record. The
total net receipts of cotton at all
American ports since last Septcuilter
amoUnt now to 5,1)55.740 bales.
The grain market for the week has
been very weak. The bearish attack
upon wheat culminated in its fall to
531 cents a bushel on Septcuilter op
tions, and to (il 13-10 cents a bushel
on December options, these prices
being seven-eighths of a cent a bush
el below the previous Decenilter re
cord. The fall for the week at Chi
cago was aliout 21 cents. Corn was
threatened by a serious lack ttf moist
ure, but the crop has received relief
from scattered showers.
