THE FJtANKLIN TIMES. . A. THOMAS, Editor and Iropridr. 0B YEAU, BIX MONTHS, $1.50 1.00 Friday. July 24. - - - - - 1891 THIS COUNTRY'S FINANCES. As the Statesville Landmark eays, the form of the Treasury statement has been changed, and Secretary Foster sent the new statement out on the 1st of this month with flying colors. It showed the cash on hand $745, 349,751 and the balance $13, 893,808. These are comfortable figures. But the cash on hand in cludes the gold and silver held for the redemption of certificates. Be sides, the $100,000,000 gold reserve is included in the cash column. Take this tff and there are left $53,893,808. To make up this fig ure Mr. Foster has counted "ac crued interest and interest unpaid ; also "balances due disbursing of ficers, now amounting to $34,000, 000. Of course the Secretary has no right to count as available cash the coin held to secure the gold and silver certificates because these certificates are in circula tion. Of course he has no right to count interest and balances due and unpaid. And counting off these item b the Treasury is bank rupt. So much for Speaker Reed's "business Congress' What do the people think of it? A little while ago Cleveland had one hundred millions of dollars surplus in the Treasury and his Secretary of the Treasury was paying interest in advance on the 4 per cent, bonds which mature in September next in order to get the money out o the way. Harrison's Secretary not only has not the money to pay in terest in advance but will not have the money to pay the principa when it falls due and has made arrangements to refund the debt While our good people have been discussing "barren idealities" and flying at the throats of their neigh Dors who will not take the harm iul medicine which quacks pre scribe, the Republican party has been piling up the taxes, contract ing the currency and looting the Treasury. For further light on the financial situation see the fol lowing Associated Press dispatch j sent out from Washington on the S 2d: A statement prepared at the Treasury Department shows that there was anet decrease of $4,210, 954 in circulation during the month of June and a net decrease of $7,036,504 in money and bul lion in the Treasury during the same time. There was a decrease in the Treasury holding of gold coin of $17,479,452. lill, providing for spending ten million dollars for the improve ment of public roads in New York. It says that, such "an outlay would be the best possible investment he people of the Common weal th could make. It would add ten imes its amount to the salable valua of its real property. Good roads are the sorr-st need in every country. It would pay the peo ple to assess themselves and spend he monej' for this purpose in any ocality." The Durham Sun in comment ng on the abovp, says : The Journal of Commerce is right. We are surprised to find many people so indifferent to the condition of the public highways, and opposed to spending money to improve Ihem, when money spent for this purpose is always a pay ins; investment. rJau roads are injurious to any locality, and good roads are highly beneficial "An uPkept highway is worse than a plague to deter investors in rural homes." The outlook for a third party in Vermont is thus referred to by the Farmer's Advocate, the organ of the Farmer's Alliance of the State ; Vermonters are not easily fooled. They. read the papers, reflect, and have their own convictions on all public questions of general inter est. Tbey are slow to act, but sure to da the level headed thing when they do act. They are no the kind ot men to advocate or adopt prematurely without mature consideration a new political par ty as the panacea of all their ills They cannot be counted on to en dorse impracticable schemes, nor will they seek relief by class legis lation in their own interest. Ver mont larmers will meet the crms that confronts them manfully, val iantly, as intelligent citizens con scious of sheir rights and duties in public affairs, with no other aim or object than the promotion of the general welfare of the whole people." And North Carolina farmers will do the same. Isn't it somewhat presumptuous for individuals to assert that the sentiment of the people in the State in which they reside is for this or that Presidential candi date, when they have had no op portunity of ascertaining what the sentiment really is? Persons frequently imagine that the views which they entertain are shared by the masses of their fellow-citi zens. When a test is made, how ever, they sometimes discover their error. Durham Sun. You are very correct brother Sun, and North Carolina cop tains quite a number of those presump tuous fellows of whom you speak rial classes. esDeciallv the farm- 1 A ers, out not one of them has the candor or honesty to tell the truth and the whole truth. They know that the farmers of his country, in common with the great mass of their fellow citizens of other callings, have suffered from the infernal tariff legisla tion of the past three decades, and yet they have not a word to say in condemnation of that le galized spoliation. They know that the farmers of this country, in common with their fellow citizens of other callingshave suffered from the plundering pen sion system which had been fasten ed upon the people and which has attained such stupendous propor tions with each year's growth; but they haven t a word to sfjy in con demnation of the plundering pensions. They know that it costa now near ly five times as much to carry on this Government as it did in 1860, and nearly three times as much to the head of population as it did then, but they are dumb in the pres ence of this wild and reckless ex travagance. 1 hey know that the Democratic Senators supported and voted for free silver coinage (which they fa vor) in the last Congress and that it was then choked to death in the lie publican House. They suppress this fact to make their people be lieve that the Democrats are equal ly responsible with the Republican party for ignoring the people's will and refusing to increase the volume ot money in obedience to the popu lar demand. It is true that the farmers of this country, in common with the mil lions of toilers in other callings have grievances sore and hard to bear. While the farmer has justly found ed complaint to make there are oth er reasons tor his calamities nearer home, which are within his control hut these leaders who know rail well what they are never allude to them If they candidly called the attention of their followers to them, they might find a shorter cut out of the wilderness and get out of it much sooner by that way than by the third party route. How can the farmers of the West be prosperous when they keep on year after year raising a bier surplus .for which there is no remunerative market at home or abroad, enpocial- 1 1 A. iy wnen the implements and ma chinery which he uses costs him from twenty-five to thirty percent., or more, than they would if there werv no high protective tariff to in terfere with the exportation of his farm products? How can the cotton planter be prosperous when he nells his cotton which cost him nine cents or more to raitse, for Iphh than eight cents a pound ? He need not do this if he didn't iwreaw hisacreatreof cotton oblivious of the fact that he wa overstocking the market, and reduc ing the demand for and price of the cotton which he raised. There are other causes of the far mers trouble, font these two. by way of illustration, will show that while a great deal of it is, all the trouble is not in the ad verse legisla tion, or in the want of legislation, as these deceitful or blundering lead ers would make them believe it is.
