STAY HOME. Mtt. Chas. J. Gbkoory, a former North Carolinian, now resiling la Texas, writes ' the following letter to the boys of North Carolina, through the Oxford Pubic Ledgor: 'Taking everything into consideration, pro and eon, I would rot advise any North Carolina boy of sternly habits, &c. to come to Texas, stay at home, aud use your energies towards building up your native State, and if you are anxious to get into a thriving town, go to work at your home and make that lUe place, and I'll guarantee if you will use the uauie elections iu North Carolina as you will have to use iu Texas you can do as much or more there than you can here, I have looked into the things since I have been here, aud while you may get seemingly external advanta ges, there are other things that will more than eounter-balauoe ttieui." . . We say take Mr. Gregory's advice,, young man aud stay at uoiue. Stick to the Old North State, for within her borders lies success tor every youug man who will , strive to achieve it . If you would like to live in a live town, bend all yonr energies to make your homo alive home, try to niako your town "the town" of thi State. North Carolina offer many opportunities to the young men of the land to make a live and prosperous living. If you have got to work, as you have. Why not stay at home ? why leave the na. live soil to seek for better when the world can offer no better, no grander field of labor than North Caraliua ? - Abaudon the idea of going West young man, and invest the money that would go to pay your fare, in soma good business. We advise every young mau to let the sayiag Go West young nnm, go Wtst," pass, and if North Carolina iu the land of jour birth, we say stay home yoaug man, T btay home. The thought of the grand re-uuion of non-residents of North Carolina at the coming State Fair, to be held at Baleigh, Oct. 11th to 1'Jth, has touched the hearts of the gallant sons aud fair daughters now residiug in other States The hearts of those reared within her borders still btat fondly for the Old North State. They are proud to claim her aa their mother State, and well should they be, for to her belongs some of tuo bravest men aud noblest women the Union has ever produced. We copy below a letter from the News and Observer of Aug. 31st, written by a native North Caroliniau Wayckqss, Ga., Aug. 20, '89. P. M. Wilson, Esq., Kaleigh. N.

' If you wish to be miserable, think about what you might have bean under certain circumstances, and what you have lost by a" course of conduct which you vainly endeavored to give another direction. Talk over all your failures und defeats, and be Sure to paint the future in a dead-leaf tint or with the brown of the twilight's curtain. Never talk of your mole-hill gams, but ever of yuur mountain 1o9op. This ia what the coward 4oes who skulks into dark corner, and is afraid to come out ' into t the broad sunlight lent he should feel a gleam of it iu his doubting heart and hopes for better things. - ' It is the bravo man who resolves, with true heroism, to break down all barriers, and cleave his way over the ruta and rocks that lie in every man's path. He laughs at the briers aud brambles that trip him at every step, aud merrily whistles as he staggers aud stumbles over the stony way uutit he emerges into the smooth, unob structed thoroughfare. ' This e u-th is not all a bad of roses, and he who soars above his impediments aud gets his foot upon discouragements will come out stronger, wiser, aud better for all the opposition.

He has built bis hopes and LU fair name upon the glittering thing, and cannot give it up. Ah! well! there is a time coming when he must relinquish hia claim ui on this perishable and paltry treasure, for ''shrouds have no pockets ;" and in grasp iug for this "iilthy lucre," he may have lost the true riches, whitbout which be U eier. nirtlly bankrupt. Our riches, our faint, our honors, our health, our gains, our losses, are all sources of mihappiness, aud within us lies . the power to convert them iuto blessings or curses. . Alas! that so many choose the lAtter, THE ISSUE. Argonaut. '' Tub last Presidential campaign was fought on the tariff issue, and this will be the issue aud only important , one in 1892. When Cleveland sent ia his tariff message we thought he had moved too far .in ad" vanco And that it would defeat him, but the result showed that while' he may have lost a few votes on account of bis tariff views, he doubtless gained as many as he lost, and that he was beaten not upon a political wsae but by boodle. It is a dis grace and a- shame to the Amerioan people, but nevertheless an indisputable fact, that the Republican party purchased its success with money. Up to the time Cleveland sent in bis tariff message, there was no well dehnod issue between the parties. Be drew the line and established the - issue It is the only issue now, and upon it the Democratic party with the right leader and a wisely conducted campaign is bound to gain a signal victory in 1892. The people in 1888 were better informed than wo gave them credit for. We knew what pains had been taken to teach them that a high protective tariff means big wages to the employees in great manufac turing establishments of the country. But while doubtless some were deceived, it turned out that the laboring men enter tained correct views on the subject to a greater extent than we had gien them credit for. Since the last election, they have been taking more lessons lessons in the practi. cal school of experience, and in 1892 will, in our opinion,- vote for a tariff for revenue only. Magnificent promises were made iu lb'89, but none of them, have been kept. Never iu the same length of time has there been more suffering aud destitution among the working people than since the electiou of Harrison to the Presidency. If the t&r ill has been of benefit to the manufacturer, it has not been to the employee. Through out the manufacturing aud mining centers. North aud West w.?es have been reduced and great suffering has ensued, and this reduction has been made, too. by the very men who pleaded the absolute necessity of a high tariff aud promised large wages to those in their employments In some lines of manufacturing large profits have result ed from the high tariff, bat not a penny has gone into' the bauds of the poor men aud woo&en who helped make these enor mous profits. We believe the people every. where are getting their eyes opeu to the true state of . affairs, and in 1892 will vote by thousands and hundreds of thousands with the Democratic party. It is also trqe that nearly every manufac turer who nses imported raw material is iu favor of having this material put on the free list. They are greatly crippled by tbu tariff on these raw materials and in some lines absolute ruin Btares them in the face. Unless the raw material is put on the nee list they are bound to go to the wall Uow different would the oondition of the woolen manufacturing industry have been to-day if the Mills bill had become a law. These people are not fools. They understand the condition of affairs and they will support the Democratic party. The lesson is being learned, and we iutend to help "freshen the memories" of the people and havo them understand their true interest I bat they may be prepared to vote right when the time comes. THE ALLIANCE HAS A HIS. . SION The Farmers' Alliance in North Carolina has become a very powerful combination. as.d We have no doubt that it is doiug much wood bv correcting crying evils. There was a treat necessity for the formation of snub na association, for of all meu the farmers are the most oppressed and plucked. The War Tariff and bigh interest have well nigh rednoed them to poverty and to slavery. The Alliance deserves the support of all men engaged in agriculture. ' and it h6uld be sustained by a healthful and, independ ent pres. It has a mission and a moet important one' and we hope it will go on prospering and to prosper, widening its ioflueuee and strangthemng its influence rmtil no voliticiiua with wild extravagant ideas, who care nothing for other peoples' porikf.ta shall find any favor.

' A gentleraau, accompanied by , his wife. called the other day at ' Portland, (Ma.) ticket office and asked for a ticket. to bfs houie, which be stated was Fort Vermillion. He was not surprised when told that the office did not have such a ticket, and con. tented himself with a ticket to Montreal, remarking, incidentally, that ho hardily expected to be ticketed through, ince his hotne is 1200 miles from any, railroad sta. tion. Such a reinfcrka rie distance from a railroad in these days of quick transporta. tion was surprising, nor was his next state ment any less ho. It is 700 miles from his home to a postoffloe. ' A newspaper " pub. lished not more than two months before is a great rarity in that far away northern home. Id reply to questions by the Port, land Express the gentleman said that he leaves the Canadian Pacific road at Galgary and travels by stage two hundred and fifty miles to the post called Ediuuudton. This is the end of the stage route, aud travelers have to secure their own - oouveyances for the rest of the distance. They take along in the Journey a regular commissionary department, camping wherever nightfall overtakes them. It requires six weeks to make this trip. The Journey takes' him down the Athabasca river, aoross Little Slave lake and through the wilderness to the junction of the Pence and Smokv rivers. and down -the valley of the former river to Fort Vermillion . 1 he gentleman is a trader in furs, and this is his first visit into the civilised world for ten years. His trade has been a prosperous one. and after a lew years more of trade he proj . to return to Montreal and pass his last days in lux. ury. Ex. ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND YARDS. Daily Call. It is very evident that the farmers are going to show one Trust what they can do when their backs are up. 'lhisisa jute bagging trust. The cotton planters have practically, determined not to buy a single yard of Jute bagging. They will use cotton bagging, and propose to make the business office of the Farmers Alliance here n medi. nm through Vhlch they cm procure the article, but not to the exclusion of other mediums.-, Jfr. W. I. Worth, State bnsi. ness agent, now located here, has recently been among the North Carolina cotton mills, and has contracted with the Leaks, ville cotton factory for 100,000 ' yards of bagging made of cotton, for supplying the farmers of this section particularly; and if wanted, the bagging will be sent elsewhere from here. In addition to the 100,000 yards Mr. Worth agreed to take all the factory can make. The manufacture of the bag ging brings in a new Consuming agency for the cotton, and besides enabling the bird working farmers "to successfully fight a trust, it will have a tendency to run up the market price of the staple).' "THE COLORED REVOLT. A dispatch from Charlotte, N, C, to the Herald is as follows : A Troubles are multiplying around the administration. The news which came to day from Charlotte. N. O., of tho organiza. tion of an independent party by the colored men there and the burning in effigy of the most prominent of th) new Federal officials appointed by President Harrison attracted a deal of attention among tho colored men and their friends. They have been nursing a strong dissatisfaction with the President's action toward them, and any symtoms of courageous revolt finds them ready to sym pathize with it. They .say that it is not without significance that this declara'ion of the independence of the .Republican machine is made in Mecklenburg county, which witnessed the first declaration of in dependence against Great Britain. Republicans from North Carolina say that the feeling against the administration there is deep and bitter, and that no politi cal thimblerigging can stay the exodus to the Western States, which Mr. Cheatham, tho colored Congressman, stys will roaoh the proportion of sixty thousand ' persons. Such an exodus of Republican voters will make North Coroliua surely Democratic and Senator Quay will never again be tempted to squander S'40,000 to win the State for his party. Mr. Cheatham says the change will make his district Demo oratio and that he is not likely to again re" present it in Congress. THE DA VI AD Borne inquisitive and curious newspaper writer finds food for thought in the number of Davids in the late tragic events in Cali fornia connected with the killing of David Terry who was killed by David Nagle and wno had killed David Droderick and who would have killed Justice Field, son of David Field afid brother, of David Dudley Field of New York. The Davids are cer tainly on top in C&Hfornia in matters of contention and since we come to think of it the most distiaguished one in the long line of the Davids was that David that brained Goliath with a sling shot and peb ble stoue. Generally the Davids come out at the big end of tho born but sometimes the Davids get, left as iu the case of David Broderick wbo was kilted by David Terrey, aa also the same David Terrey got left when he was shot down by David Nagle. But the California Davids are not yet ex hausted, . When David Terrey killed David Broderick in a duel, their , seconds were David Cotton and David Brewer. Surely David of California is a fated name, and if onr name were David, and we were a Call fornian and we were of the temperment of broil and battle we should expect to "die in our boots," and consequently should always keep a "shine" on them.
