TiiftO The Rfal Bill.
VitHliin;toii (rnf HndMit At
lanta fount it ut ion.
"1 think nndoubteilly that
llie bill will l'Vr pi itli
otjt an amendment" nid Mr.
Vain.
"But the unconditional re
peal men have a majority
what are you fioine; to do a
bout that?"
"A majority n the last Con
gress wanted to pass the
fotcebill. I believe in t h e
rights of a majority. I can't
say that th minority have
determined to ta'k indefinite
ly, but the more they talk
th weaker the repeal men
are becoming. The banks are
very angry and are threaten
ing to give another sq.ieeze,
because the Senate is not in
a hwry. The longer we are
in passsing a bill, the less
pressure from the public, be
cause the people cannot help
but see that the Sherman
law had but little to do with
the hard times we have gone
through, and that prosperi
ty, notwithstanding theexis-
tenoe of the Sherman law, is
returning and business is re
suming all over the country.
The pressure is only kept up
by a few men. Tln-i e is no re
ality in the pretenses they
are making."
"Do you believu that free
coinage Senators 'jin force u
compromise? I asked.
"I do not emphatically.'
"Flave they an idea of yiel
ding to the pressure, of the
administration?''
"No sir, we have no idea of
yielding o any pressure of
the administration or to the
banks."
"The administration ill
have to meet you half way?"
"Yes, sir, Mr. Cleveland
will have to meet us halfway
or else we will all h t 9 y at
at home. He wants uncon
ditional repeal or nothing.
He calls us here in extra ses
sion and says repeal this bill,
pointing us to the platform
equiring its repeal; and we
say: Will you put something
else in accordance with the
platform? No, he says it
must be repeal. W ell, we say,
won't you permit something
to go with the repeal? He
says, nothing. Mr. Vorhees,
when asked, has nothing to
say. The closest man to the
President on the question,
Secretary of the Treasury,
hen asked what will come
after the repeal, is ilent.
Whv we would be a pretty
set of fools to blindly repeal
the Sherman law without
knowing what is to eome al
ter. It is tin reason able. Rea
son will tell in the long run
and our constituency will see
that. The President deals in
mystery and rather gives it
out to be understood that ii
is not becoming in him to
say what he is going to do.
We are r ot going to allow
that repeal bill to pass with
out knowing the consequen
ces." "Are all the other silver
Senators as determined?"
"There are a number of
men who are strong against
as 1 am, still do not care ac
tively to filibuster, but when
it conies to the pinch will
vote. Yep, the free coinage
Senators are determined in
this fight. They will not o
bull dozed into passing the
repeal bill without any under
standing."
"On what would they com
promise?" -.-"3.
"They would tnke Faulk
ner's amendment with a lit
tle trimming op, extending
tin? amount to be coined to
a th ousand million and then
stop. 1 would be willing to
do thi because that would
furnish os with enough coin.
Fa'ilkner's amendment pro
vides for the purchase and
co'nage of $3,000,000 :f sil
ver monthly until the total
amount of silver shall have
reached $800,000,000."
"Would you accept a com
promise providing for the
coinage of all the bullion now
in the Treasury?'
"No, that would not be ac
cepted by the silver men.
What we want is the contin
ued coinage of silver. The
silver in the Treasury is now
represented by these Treasu
ry notes, and, therefore, the
coinage of it would only be
incompliance with Vie Slier
man law, which provides for
the coinage sufficient of it to
redeem the noteB when pre
sented. To coin this silver
would not increase the vol
umeof currency. We want
to do .hat. Therefore we will
not accept such an offer.
What we want is either the
free coinage of silver or the
continued purchase and coin
age 'tf silver up to $800,000,
000 or $1,000,000,000."
"What, in your opinion,
will be the result of the fight?
"I think we will win the
fight. The very moment the
President sees thathecann-it
pass the bill unconditional
ly, then we will see what he
will do. As long ashethinks
he can do just as he pleases
he is going to do nothing.
Some of our men, w ho want
an amenlirent, will proba
bly pursue the same course
as members of the Housedid.
Should all the amendments
be voted down, they will vote
for repeal."
"Do you think you will
pass some amendment?"
"Oh, yes. On some one a
mendmcnt we will have a ma
joritj. 1 am sure of that. The
administration Senators are
weakening."
INDUSTRIAL CONDITIONS.
The Tradesman, Chatta
nooga, Tenn., in its review of
the industrial situation in the
South for the week ending
October 2nd, 1893, reports
a slow and steady develop
ment of new industries and
an increased number of en
largement of manufacturing
estab'ishments. in other re
spects there is no material
change in the condition of fi
nancial, industrial and bus
iness affairs. Cotton still
continues in light supply, the
belief in higher prices being
general among the farmers
who are in better condition
than ever before to hold
their crop. For this reason
there is not so much money in
circulation, nor isthe volume
of business so great as has
been usual in this season.
Money is in good supply.
Jas. H. Jones, colored, of
Raleigh, who was the body
servant vjf Jefferson Davis,
has received an appointment
; in one of the departments at.
Washington.
Oar Ti l U JrffVrtoi:.
We attended court at Jef
ferson and remained several
days, "herewn a large
;ro.vd in attendance. Ashe
county ha many subt;in
tial citiifii and wcll-lo-do
farmers. The business men
of Jefferson are complaining
of hard times us do all oth
ers. Money is very scarce
ami hard to geL Very few
of our subsribers paid any
thing. We met Bro. Carson
of the Star making efforts to
collect subscription money.
We stopped ith jol'y Mart
llnrdin, nt.d we venture to
say that if you want g o o l
things to eat and kind atten
tion shown you, the Moun
tain Hotel is the proper place
to get them. Mrs. Hardin is
very 'ittontive and knows
how to make her guests pleas
ant and comfortable. The
Inn is now kept by Col. (ieo.
Reeves and family and the
people speak of the Inn in a
favorable manner. We were
the recipient of kind atten
tion by many of our friends
while at Jefferson, especially
so from Dr. Colvard and his
most excellent wife. We have
a very kind feeling for t h t
people of Jefferson. We can
number them among our tru
est friends.
From Jefferson we went up
North Fork. We have a fat,
jolly brother up there and re
mained with h i in several
days. We had a special per
mit to inspect the post office
at Clifton, which we did with
entire satisfaction to our
selves and we hope to the
post master also. We are of
the opinion that there is no
better section of country
than N'jrth Fork. The land
is rich and productive for all
the grain and grasses. The
people live easy and bounti
fully. We stayed on our way
at Sutherland with our good
friends J. H. Hardin (Midwife
and met vith the kindness
that all receive who stop
with them. At Sutherland
there is one of the prettiest
and most interesting loca
tions that can be found. The
lands are fine and the people
are thrifty and are in peace
and plenty.
During our stay at Jeffer
son we had to talk politics
of course. We found a gener
al dissatisfaction amot:g the
democrats. They are divided
somewhat on the silver ques
tion. The most we talked
with, however, endorse the
administration and think the
silver Senators ought to vote
for the repeal bill and t hen
have the proper legislation
on the currency question. We
had an interview with Lieut,
Gov. Doughton and Hon. W.
C. Fields. They both express
themselves as anxious lor the
Senate to do something at
occe, that the country de
manded action and expect re
liel to come through legisla
tion. Mr. C. C. Daniels, late of
Macon county, aud a brother
of Chief Clerk Josephus Dan
iels, of the Interior Depart
mint, Washington, has been
appointed a county attorney
in Oklahoma at a salary of
$1,200.

Mjcauly says: "The edu
cation of common people is
the surest me.ins of wfuring
our Mrsons and our proper
ty." Everett says: "Education
is a better safeguard of liber
ty than a standing army."
The fact asserted by these
men, living in different ronn
tries ami at different times is
tioless true today.
Our future prosperity de
pends upon the better educa
tion of our masses. There is
a growing neglec of education
through out country.
Our public schools are not
Ci'rcd for as tluy should be.
They are the great bulwark
of otr liberties. They are
the only source of education
for a great m.ijoi ty of our
children. They are the guld
en sunshine that Ins wanned
into life the seeds of knowl
edge m many fertile minds,
who e, ncliicviiiienls have
been of the highest value to
humanity. There never was
a tim when our country
ne-ded the service of good
schools so mu. h as the pres
ent." Our public schools
shoul be taught by the best
of teachers and supplemented
by a couple of months sub
scription school every year.
Ever public school district
should have a good teachei
living within its boumhny.
The surest sign of progress
in any community is a lively
interest in education. Press
and ( aroliiiLin.
Kinston Free Press: The
editor of this paper believes
in carrying out the Democrat
ic platform, and t h a 1 1 h e
president elected on that
platform, should be governed
somewhat by the advice of
the Democratic leaders in
Congress who favor a coin
promise on the silver ques
tion. We think it very un
becoming of one man to as
sume that he alone can right
ly interpret the Democratic
platform on fin a me. Cleve
land's course, if pursued to
the end, we believe it will
wreck the party. The Free
Press is in line with the Chic
ago platform and if that is
not Democracy we don't
know w hat Democracy is. We
are not a "hero worshiper"
and do not endorse what
Cleveland does, not in ac
cordance with Democratic
principles, simply because he
is Cleveland and was elected
by the Democratic party. If
to refuse to endorse all that
Cleveland does or does not,
prevents us from being a
Democrat, then we are not a
Democrat.

The Lenoir Topic says lasf
Saturday morning a weekT
ago Mrs. Lark in Estes, aged
about 75 years, left her
home to go to a neighbor's,
about a mile away, to get
some buttermilk. She told
her people that she might
not return home that night
and she did not return. Sun
day morning her husband
sent some of his grandchil
dren to look for her. About
a half mile from home they
found her jug of bttttermilk
but could not find Mrs. Es
tes. A searching party was
formed and Monday meriting,
she was found on thebarjk of
a branch close to her home,
dead. It rained Saturday
and she was in the rain all1
the time and it is supposed
she came to her death from'
exposure.
Wlial Killed the J'arrotf
Free Press.
The man was walking a
long Woodward avenue car
rying a parrot in a cage.
"What you got there, ask
ed a friend.
"Parrot; I am taking it
home to my wife. She" always
wanted one."
"I hope you will have bet
ter luck than I did with the
one I gave to my wife."
"Whathapprtied to it?"
"Don't know my wife, dry
you?"
"No."
Neither did the parrot, It
wanted to talk during the
daytime nnd couldn't get a
chance while my wife was a
round, so it stayed awaka at
night to do its talking, and
the poor thing died of insomy
nra before two weeks."
