Jackwonlan Democracy.
Mr. Cleveland's address be
fore the Business Men's Demo
cratic Association in New York
was characteristic of the man
ana snows tnat be is a pure
ana honest statesman, of the
type that is calculated to bene
fit the country from circumfer
ence to center.
ilis theme was Jackson and
he forcibly drew from the life
and character of the old hero
the lesson of the duty of culti
vating the Jacksonian spirit of
political courage and steadfast
ness of advocating and main
taining party principles. He
declared that "party faithless
ness is party dishonor." This
is a sentence embodying a truth
that it would be well for all to
carefully ponder, as well as his
question, "who has the hardi
hood to say that we can lay
claim to the least Jacksonian
spirit if in the Btruerele we turn
our backs to the enemy or lower
in the least our colors;"
Every true ' Democrat must
find much food 'for reflection
and guidance in the following
forcible statements made by Mr.
Cleveland on the occasion re
ferred to above: .
"We have preached the doc
trine that honesty and sincerity
should be exacted from political
parties. Let us not fall under
the cendemnation which waits
on shifty schemes and insincere
professions."
"I believe our countrymen
are prepared to act on principle,
and are in no mood for political
maneuvering. They will not
waste time in studying conun
drums, guessing riddles or try
ing to interpret doubtful phras
es, lbey demand a plain and
simple statement of political
purpose."
"if, inspired by the true Jack
sonian spirit, wt hold to the
doctrine that party honesty is
party duty and party courage is
party expediency, we shall
win."
It is practically settled that
there will be no fusion between
the Peoples party and Democrat s
in Kansas this year, lieturns
have been received from at
least a dozen county conven
tions held on Saturday, all of
which' declared against fusion
in any form with the Demo
crats. There is no question
that leaders of the two parti s
had agreed to combine on a
fusion ticket, but the rank and
file ef the Alliance is strenel y
against a partnership with the
Democrats. In Kooks county
every delegate elected to the
State and Congressional con
vention was required to come
before the convention and
pledge himself against fusion.

' One Reason Wby.
There are several reasons why
the agricultural industry of this
country has been for some years
depressed, some of which are
the results of bad eovernmenta
policies, others not. For the
former the farmer is responsible
only in so far as as by ins vote
as a citizen he N may have en
couraged and sustained these
Solicits. "For some of the latter
e is responsible ' because they
were wholly ot his own creation
Of course no reference is made
here to those Providential caus
es, such as neods, droughts
storms, &c, which are beyond
the foresight or control of men,
or to those combinations of
speculators en the markets to
control prices, which he could
not prevent.
There is no industry in the
world which takes so many
chances, the success of which
depends upon so many contin
gencies, and it would be remark
able, indeed, if at times it didn't
suffer, and suffer very much
While the couth is, taken all
in, all, naturally the most favor
ed portion of the United states,
where the tanner should be
prosperous if he is any where,
southern agriculture is depress
ed and very much depressed.
mere is a certain class of im
promptu stitesmen who are now
trying to make it appear that all
this depression is the result of
public policies for which the
leaders of the two -treat politi
cal parties are responsible. That
these policies are larzelv re
sponsibles is true, but it is not
-. .
true that the Democratic party
is responsible for these policies.
mere are several censes outside
of public policies why Southern
agriculture is depressed and
wby Southern farmers after all
these years of hard labor and
close living have little, if any-
imng 10 snow lor it.
We contend, and we think
the facts will bear us out, that
no agricultural people can be
financially prosperous who are
not really independent and who
do not raise upon the farm the
food consumed by the people
and the stock upon the farm.
To be prosperous, they must be
able to contrul what they have
to sell, and to sell it when they
see nt. lacy cannot do this
unless tbey t.rj independent.
and they cannot be independent
while they buy their foodstuffs
and have to,pay for them out of
the crops they raise. While
they are doing that, combina
tions one side may be formed to
reduce the pricu of what the
farmer has to sell to th) min
imum, and on the utimr side to
raise the price of what he has to
buy to the maximum, and thus
he is crippled, if not crushed be
tween them.
As thrift in the household of
the man of mederute earning is
necessary to comfort and to the
saving that may eventually
lead to independence, so thrift
upon tne xarm is necessary
where the average farmer ex-
?cts to profit by the industry,
o give labor exclusively to the
so called "money crops," 6uch
as cotton and tobacco, shows
not only lack of the thift which
should prevail but a woeful lack
of ordinary business sense.
lne south ought to be and
with judicious cultivation would
be the garden spot of the world,
raising in abundance every thiny
from the finest fruits of the
tropics to the vegetables and
grains to make food for men,
and the grains and grasses to
feed stock and fatten swine and
cattle and sheep to furnish the
meat supplies lor her lo.ooo.ooo
of people. But instead of doing
this the short-sighted policy has
prevailed in years past, and still
prevails, although not to the
sane extent as heretofore, of
pursuing special "money" crons
and buying a large part if not
all of the food supplies ft om oth
er States, when all thkse could
be raised at home without anv
extraordinary effort and thus
keep at home the millions of
hard earned dollars which are
annually paid out for them.
No accurate estimate can be
made ef the total sum thus ex
pended because there has been
no account kept of the importa
tion of food-stuffs by the res-
Eective States. Hon. J. K.
udce. Statistician of the U. 8
Department ef Agriculture, who
instituted an investigation in
this line, found that the annual

Mississippi river or the Uulf. it
does not include what was
shipped by the Mississippi, Ohio
and other rivers, which is an im
mense amount, which maybe
illustrated in part by the state
ment that St Louis shipped by
river 212,000,000 pounds ef meats
alone last year. The (secretary
of the Memphis Merchants' iux
chancre estimates that there
were imported into that city
last year and sold to tributary
territory $8,500,000 worth of
breadstuff s. With such a show
tng for Memphis, if the record
of the numerous other distribu
ting points in the South from
the seaboard to the center could
be produced, what a story it
would tell. With such a show
ins is it any wonder that the
South suffers and that the
Southern farmer is not as pros
pereus as he might be? Before
prosperity can come to stay,
whatever the arovernmentai
policies may bo, all this must

The well known banking
house of Henry Uleus & Com

er an encouraging report of the
financial condition of the coun
try in their circular of April
23rd. "Affairs in Wall Street
begin to show more animation.
Them are now before us four
clear months, during which
there can be no doubt that
money will rule at excessively
low rates and a like ease may
be expected in Europe." A

World's conference will soon
assemble for deliberating upon
the silver question. Ihe invi
tations f ro;u the State depart
ment have received assurance
of acceptance already from

The object being to restore the
status of silver as a co ordinate
currency with gold.
Confidence mst now is the
one thing, above all else, that
is most needful, with its restora
tion, the commercial interests
of all countries will meye off

conference accomplishes such
result, it will receiye the
plaudits of the people from
every section ot the globe
England's new attitude on this
great question marks the be
ginning of new and brighter
conditions, heretofore she has
most persistently opposed all
international endeavors to re
store the status of silver as a
co ordinate currency. Experi
ence has doubtless proven that
the maintenance of silver is a
commercial and financial neces
sity.

Soon the national contest will
begin in earnest. Campaigns
for many years have been con
ducted upon very degrading
principles principles that are
slowly but surely undermining
.the foundation of liberty and
good government, and we trust
that candidates will be nomi
nated in the coming fight that
will conduct the campaign upon
honorable principles, and that
will use all the influence they
possess to crush out the unholy
methods by which the will of
the people has been ignored in

A Hospital Needed.
A growing necessity in this
community is a good hospital
we have heard it mentioned
time and again, and some of our
citizens are willing to co-oper
ate in the move to establish
one.
There are many reasons why
Durham should have a hospital,
or a home, for the care of the
sick and needy; where the prop
er nursing can oe given those
unaer treatment, and in many
instances nursing is hair et the
battle in sickness.
Most towns the size ef Dur
ham have these hospitals tiro
vided and they are a great bless
ing. It frequently happens
that some of our citizens, young
men, are taken sick, and living
as many of them do, boarding
ana rooming to themselves, they
lack more or less the carefu
nursing necessary to their indi
vidual cases. The poor and
helpless among us oft times
suffer from this same cause. A
home for the treating and nurs
ing ot tne ins human flesh is
heir to would be a great institu
tion in Durham.
We throw out these hints for
our people to think about and
take action upon. Let some
liberal minded citizen contrib
ute the lot, others donate
enough to build a suitable heme;
others to lurmsh and equip the
same and all working in har
mony weceuid have a great in
stitution, and one that would
be a blessing to the donors and
ii i
ine community.

Methodist Itinerancy.
In the General Conference of
the Methodist Episcopal Church
at Omaha the report of the
Committee on Itinerancy favor
ed the removal entirely of the
time limit of Methodist clergy
men in pastorates. The present
unit of the stay of a pastor at
any post duty of is five years,
and it was adopted in 1888. The
advocates of the removal of all
imitation declared that'it would
be the greatest advance step the
Methodist Church had taken in
fifty years, but the agreements
of those favoring the present
itinerant system, one of which
was that it prevented heresy in
the church, because ministers
did not remain long enough in
any one place to infect a church
with heretical ideas, proved to
be strong enough to continue
the five year rule.
The vote ot 298 to 102 by
which this decision was arrived
at shows that it may be many
years before Methodist minis
ters can setJe down for life in
pastorates.

It is reported that many lead
ing Republicans throughout the
country are in high glee, bo
cause the Democrats are divid
ed among themselves on the
silver and other questions. The
bitter fight that is being waged
against certain Democrats who
are prominently mentioned in
connection with the Presidency
also pleases the Republicans.
Republicans are not pleased
with anything except something
they think will result in injury
to the Democratic party. It
therefore behooves every loyal
Democrat to use his influence
to settle all questions that cause
division and labor unceasingly
to harmonize all differences.
A united party is the first and
chief step to victory. The Dem
ocratic members of the present
Congress have plainly defined
duties to meet. They must set
tie the silver question and mak9
such a record as will appeal t
the intelligence, patriotism an 1
wisdom of the country.
Everything that has the sem
blance of fighting within should
be repudiated by the members
of the Democratic party every
where. We cannot fight
the enemy too. Don't give the
enemy a single advantage by
even apparent division. Unify
the Democratic forces, settle all
questions of difference, go into
the fight with one aim and pur
pose and a glorious victory will
be the result.
