C l'AHTV STII-L THE AUK OF SAFETY, l'airhrothcra .Everything, of Greensboro, recurs in it last Issue to the story to which It gave pub licity last Sc-ptfmber, that Its editor "had been consulted and knew that on hundred conservative biiBlncus men, or the most part Democrats, wens seriously considering the. form ation of a new party In North Caro lina, or, rather, of organizing and as serting that the new force held the balance of power, and that it pro posed to 'serve fair notice on tha Democratic party that unless It kept In the mill llo of the road and let alone the Popuilstic view and meas ure which It seemed to cherish, there would be something doing po litically." It reiterate now the statement It made then, with the addition that "money was subscribed, thousands of dollars, and It was the Intention to establish a publication in North Carolina and invite In all Itepubltcantt and all Democrat who wanted to sen fair play; It was a fact that tho president of the, new force had been chosen and had written his check for twenty-flve thouwind dol larsand a hundred thousand do ' Inrs hnd'heen pledged.'"

It would be foolish to deny that there Is a good (leal of dissatisfaction among those who have heretofore votd the Democratic ticket, but evidence that nny consid erable number of these have con nected themselves with Itepubllcan clubs Is becking. TJi -re la no room for them in the Itepubllcan party and besides, they would riot find the association flgreable. The formation of another party to combat the dan ger and hertsies of both or either of the two In existence-is equally Im practicable and unwise, The fate of third parties In this country is his toric; the shores of time are strewed with their wr.ckase; they arise, sometimes ' from a justifying cause, flourish for awhile, then disintegrate, th"lr objects unaccomplished: they are crushed between the upper and tlie nether millstone and their parts are soon assimilated by one or the other or both of the parties that nur lve.

These grievances would not have arisen If thoso now dissatisfied had not ept upon th-r right but had In the. past made their power felt Jnsfad of having the conduct of political affairs to those who make this a business. They could in reason hope for ' nothing when they stayed away from the pri maries and convention and took no part In the nomination of candidate or the formulation of policies. f they would take no part in this business it would be attended to for them and, naturally, often In a way they did not Jike.

According to recent press dis patches the relations between Swed en and Russia are decidedly strained. The friction arises from the desire of Russia to be released from tHe agreement made when Sweden sur rendered Finland that no naval sta tion should be established on Finnish shores adjacent to Swedish territory. Russia, it seems, has already : taken steps to establish a naval station on the western shores of Aland Island, which Is onljf 25 miles from the Swedish coast. Russia's attitude on the Baltic "closed sea" question Is also Irritating Sweden. An on-look ing world cannot but admire the spunk of the llttla kingdom, but it occurs to us that Sweden Is reck lessly inviting a change in the map of Europe. Baron TakaJilra Arrives at Washing ton.

This 1 what tne country wants, and no make-shift like the AJdrtch bill will give any permanent relief, or help tne general business of this country. Our -cotton mills are suffering for want of orders, and trade conditions are aamtttedly bad. and why? It Is on account" of tho appreciation of gma ana a corresponding deprecia tion vi silver ounion. w no ar.e the beneficiaries of this nnanciai condition In the manufac ture of cotton ?

We are getting only the overflow of biwlnes u om tntna, India and the South American States because these coun tries can exchange their silver on a better basis with England and Japan euc.. man wey can in America. By ot me iraoe relations existing with India and China these countries can take the ilver at It coin value, or nay l.2 an ounce, while pur mills can on'y take the sliver at its bullion value, which to-day is 6a 7-8 an ounce. To Jlluntrate more fully, take five pounds of cotton and buy an ounce of silver and the pries of the cotton In cents would be. 11.17 cents per pound, while the English and Japan ese manufacturer takes ftv ptunds Of cotton or its manufactured article. which. Is the same thing, and if you uiviue si.z py rjve pounds of cotton you will see the Japanese and ''Eng lish manufacturers get 25.110 per pound for their cotMa or this differ ence in the manufactured article, which g;ves jtpan aU Enc'an.1 an advantage. of 11.77 ner nounl over the American mills, in the sliver countries. The only people who will get any permanent help by the Aldrich bi'l will be the bondholders whose se curities will advance materially, while farm products will decline in pro portion to the enhanced value of gold. Just call back a few months and '00k at the price of silver bullion. It ranged around 72 cents an ounce. Take 72 cents an ounce and divide by five pounds of Cotton and the price of cotton In cents would be 14.50 per pound. You, will remember that cot ton wa selling at 14.50 last summer and business of the counU-y was nev er more prosperous, and our mills were ever-crowded with orders. Since tha panto began sliver has gone as low as 52 cents an oun and con tracts In New York went to 9.72 for January. How much more doea it require to convince this country tnat our salvation ilea In the restoration of silver to money of redemption? If the basic money is restricted to gold alone, then the -greater the issue or paper money redeemaoie m goia. the srreater will be the appreciation of gold, and the greater will be the depreciation or cotton, cotton gooas and kindred nroducts. If we are to have prosperity kill the Aldrrch bill. and open the mints to the free coin age of sold and silver and let our obligations in this country be paid In coin, or paper money based on coin.
