'''!.:::i TbeWat&aga Democrat Ihundaj, August, 8, I8U5, It is n fact nlready 4deinon strated that tho next cam paign to be made in North - Carolinn will again be on the fusiou plan so far as state politic? are concerned. The republicans and populistaare "already moving in perfect harmony for a joint cam paign against the democrats, and will make another effort ' to retain control of the state. When it cornea to the nation al campaign, it is-very oncer tain what will be dona. If a repoblica n gold . standard man is nominated it may di vide the populist., bat most of the republicans will vote for n gold man. But if the populists nominate a silver man for their candidate for , President a great many will vote for him against n gold bng republican. Should the democratic party nominate a silver man for President and one acceptable to the popu'ists many of them will vote foe him. In the event that both the democratic , aud republican parties romi bate gold men, then in that case, the populists will have ' a man of their own and sup port him solidly for Pr?si dent. We look tipon the po litical status of the country as being very uncertain, and if a few men dictate the nom inations it will cause great discord. If the -democrats nominate a true, popular man on the free coinage plat form, we see no reason why lie cannot be elected, other wise we see trouble ahead. Some of the citizen? of the town of lleaufort, N. C.huve created a big sensation and are now on trial before a mag istrate for defrauding life in tmranca companies. The a gent of the insurance com pa nies combined with a lawyer and two doctors and life pol icies were issued to a number of old people and these who were slowly djing with dh ease, and in this wa.v thou sands of dollars havb been . obtajned -from the compa nies. 'The fraud has been un earthed, arrests have been made and matters look dark and gloomy lor the parties engaged. Miss Flager, da lighter of General Flager, of Washing ton, D ('., shot and killed a negro boy who was stealing pears and other fruit from their garden. Miss Flager was acquitted by the jury of inquest and set free. The wages of one hundred thousand miners are to b" in creased after Oct. 1st, t Pittsburg. What is the mat ter with the Wilson tariff, any way ? If it increases wu ges and provides greater rev enues, is it not a good thing? The heirs ot Mrs. Mary Smith Morehead, of Raleigh, lay claim to 8,000 acres of land in Madison county val ued at a quarter of a million of dollais. Minister Hansom is at Wash ington, D. C, but will return to North Carolina before go ing back to Mexico. Mr. Ran aom's health is very much im proved. Nervous debility is a common complaint, especially Among wo men. The beet medical treatment for this disorder , is a persistent y course of Ayer's Sarsaparilla to cleanse and invigorate the blood This being accomplished, nature will io thrft, ' I from Blowing Hock V. 0. htlitor Democrat:" s V In your issue of Aug. 1st, "A'exnnder Bill'' devotes six cplnmna i to attacking me for my 'views on the silver ques tmn. Ue reminds me of the French lady, who if she h ad more time she would h a y e written a j shorter letter; I cannot follow 'Alexander Bill' into hit discoveriesin Roman history. The Decline a n d Fall of the Iloman Empire, by Dr. Gibbon, is the stan dard work on that snnject, and I doubt if either " Alex ander Bill" or I can throw much fresh light on it. ' If we could, it has nothing to no with the present question, whWi is, is it advisable for this country to establish the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 ? I contend that it is hot, "Alexander Bill" that it is. 1 In support of my conten tion, I stated that in 1834 Andrew Jackson being the President of the U. 8., the ratio of ourcoinigewaschan ged from the rate establish ed ia 1792 of .15 to 1, und made 16 to 1. This new ra tio undervalued silver and as a nutmnl consequence itwas forth more as bullion than as (J, S. dollars, with the fur ther result that the silver dol la rs would not stay in this country but were exports and melted up. Gen. Ihck son's administration there fore placed the country on a gold basis and the old hero was the first and original 'goli bug;' This statement imperfectly trtie and correct, and in support of it 1 will quote from the June number of the forum, page 41 2, from an article written by the floii. J.D. Witt-Warner, ex member af C'ongiess from New York City. Mr. Warner wys: "In Jackson's term, with the express purpose of basing our currency upon gold and relieving ns from the disadvantages of silver monometallism, the ratio was so changed as to make gold coins cheaper than sil ver ores, and thus ta make gold the actual standard of our circulation. This drove silver from circulation and, as to the American silver dol lars, with the apparent a p proval of everybody who re membered ever having seen one." Professor J. L. Loughlin, of the University of Chicago, writes in the July number ol the forum, page 580: "A fact known to every histori an that silver dollar pieces disappeared from circulation soon after the act of 1834, and that for more than thir ty years no silver dollar piec es rere in circulation." My accuracy on this point being established, wo will now if 1 rfm less correct in sta ting that "we have grown and prospered as no other people have ever grown and prospered in all the history of thehuin.. rare." Wage8ure notoriously high er in this country than any where else in the world. The standard of Hying is higher. The proof of the correctness of these statements lies in th fact that our population is augmented every year by hundreds of thousands of im migrants who come here to better, their fortunes. My statement as to the condi tion of the daily wage Earn er is therefore correct. Now as to the condition of the far mer.:He enjoys com forts and luxuries unknown to his fa ther al)d grandfather.

It is useless io diseuss whe therthe action of Congress in 1873 was wise or not; for twentv-two years the husi ness of the country has adai ted itself to it, and no good reason has Isvh shown by "Alexander Dill" why. we should change"it. The law was notfriimelrttealthily nor in the dark, but after it had! been discussed in i both the Forty-first and Forty-second Congress and had been for nearly three years" before these bodies and the public. Money is not scarce as 'Al exander Dill": erroneously slates. English Consuls ear ningonly two and three quarters per cent interest e ven on the 12th of last Jul.v worth 107 or seven a n d five-eight percent preiirum In the last week of July mon ey on call in Paris was worth only one jier cent permimim.

This condition continued about two years, and was succeeded by An Intolerable Itching all over my body and limbs. I had to have my nttle boys take shoo brushes and scratch me. It was dreadful. It continued a month and was followed Immediately by tumor In the right side of my iieck, as large as a small egg.
