Such men cfin be spared by the Democratic party. y Representative Iiailey, of Texas, was made happ' last week when the House, bj a vote of 127 to 81, pass ed his voluntary bankfuptc bill. He has maintained ever since the Torrcy bankruptcy bill was defeated that the majority of the House favor ed a national bankruptcy law, and that it was only because the Torrey bill put it in the powers of creditors to force a man into bankruptcy when he considered himself solvent that it was defeated. The vote on Mr. iiailey's bill, which makes a man judge" of his own solvency, indicates that his judgment was correct.

Owing to the absence of members and the nearness of the close of the session the chances are aaainst Mr- Bland's succeeding. Another thing that adds to the chances against him is that a con siderable number of members of the House, many of them democrats, are strongly opposed to any further agitation of the silver question at this time, and still more opposed to the taking of a record vote on the Bland bill. t The United States Fish C ommis sion has discovered in the hitherto despised anchoyy of the -waters of U$ Jforthwest a possible rival of the damous sardine.

Mr. President, I shall answer that question very btiefly. j Wei were complete Yw recks at the close of the j war. You had your pendtd factories then open and in Iprogress. In natural ad vantage? North Carolina, add Geor- rgia, and Alabama are not only equal but are I far' superior to Massachu setts and the other New England States; YTheday may come by and by when: North Carolina, and ueor- gia, and the other Southern States, and the Vestern States will ! be, the equal of fthose other j States in pros perity ad in property, I trust that it soon may come. t I would not, Mr. President, take from Nev England or New York one dollar of their1 prosperity or rob them of bne ray of their glory; but what I stand here,-and ask; for is that the people who are thus fortun ately situated and have these great accumulated fortunes shall bear their just proportions of the burdens of the Government, under whose laws they have beeni able to accumulate these fortunes. ,-. ( Mr. HOAR. Will the Senator al- ;: r .'.-.!: ow me f; l qo not wish to interrupt the Senator's argument, and I shall endeavor not to" do so again 2 . Mr. JARVIS,. I yield to the Sena tor. I .1 ! Mr. HOAR. The Senator cited what either? I or my colleague or both of us said about the $4Q0,000,- 000 in the savings banks of Massa chusetts! Those $400,000,000 are the property , of 1, 260,00 depositors, or thereabouts-I have not the frac tions. So they represent deposits of $360apiece by 4;he depositors. They arernot the great fortunes of which the Senator speaks. The framers of this income-tax provision hye re spected the suggestion made by my colleague and myself, because they propose to exempt incomes' under $5,000 when they are not in corpor ate hands, and I think the commit tee themselves have agreed to exempt the savings banks WJiere they are banks merely of deposit. t So the argument which the Sena tor is making of this accumulation of $400,000,000 by the working people of Massachusetts, 1,260,000 of them having $360 apiece in the savings banks, js an argument which nobody is now adhering to,, unless the Senator still adheres to it! Mr. JARVIS. But here is the fact: The Senator himself admits that he ives in a country and in a section which is so fortunately situated, and which has had ; the enjoyment of a peculiar kind of legislation, that the aborers of that State alone ihave a jank account of $400,000,000. , i : ! r Mr. Presi4ent, in the section of country Iron) which I come not only the laborers haye 'no bank account, but if the 'farmers at the end! of the year can possibly get both ends to gether they are peculiarly fortunate; yet on every j proposition wmch has been made Here during the progress of this bill to take some of the bur dens from those people of i North Carolina and the other agricultural States who haye no bank account, and to leave! in their pockets ia little fof the money which has been gather ed up year,by year, and mohth by month, ami day by day, and which has been carried into the banks of 3 f I. Nevv England, the Senator bag stood here with, all his might and; energy and fought. ! Mr. President, it has been kny for tune to stand; upon the deck of a great ship as it ascended th? great Amazon ifRiyer.- When we ienlered that river, looking far to th south, no land pould be seen; looking far to the north, no land could be seen; yet if you pursuedit 3,000 milesiup you came to the source of that great river. AH along for 3,000 xniles on the eastern ; slope of the Aides, in Peru and praiil and Bolivia, little streams where coming up from the mountain sides and from the earth; that flowed on and on, each con verging and directing its course to the other, i until by and by they united : in the" waters of tba t great river and formed a great sta upon which ; the i navies ! of the Scivilized world might-meet, maneuver, and fight out their battles and have 1 om lo SP So, fof -fvyentv-five years. North SALISBURY, N. C. THURSDAY Carolina and South Carolina and all the Southern States and all the West ern States have been flowing their . money steadily jfor the purchase of manufactured goods from this favor ed territory. Orrand on the stream has flowed, until we sec in this little corner of 'our great country, having only about 6 percent of its area, nearly one-half of the accumulated wealth of the country. - When we come and ask our friends in that section to tear down, or at least to lower this wall of protection, so that the people living in other sections may have their goods cheap er, they say "nay;" when we come and ask them to unloose the tight strings of the money purse, the3 say "nay;" when we come and ask them to shoulder a fair proportion of the burdens of taxation, they say "nay;" 'when we come and ask the Senators representing that section to take from the farmer and the laborer some of the burdens of taxation and put it upon the accumulated wealth of the country, the Senator from New York rises in his place and says that it is an iniquitious proposition; it is an inquisitorial proposition. Mr. President,, it may be inquisi- torial, or it may not. I undertake to say that it will never be inquisi torial to those who honestly comply with the law. If there is any inquisi tion instituted, it will only be for those who seek to evade the law; and I submit that they are not en titled to the sympathies of the Sen ate. Ah; but, says the Senator from New York, this is undemocratic, and he warns us that we are incorporat ing into the pending bill a provision which will sound the death knell of the Democratic party. Mr. Presi dent, after fifty-eight years of life in that party, and after thitty years of faithful service in that party, I un dertake to say that if it- has no high er mission than to bow at the foot stool and worship at the shrine of accumulated wealth of this country, the sooner it dies the better. Ap plause in the galleries. The Vice-President rapped with his gavel. Mr. JARVIS. Mr. President, as I understand Democracy it means sympathy with the struggling peo ple of this country; as I understand Democracy it undertakes to protect the property of the country; but at the same time it goes out into the highways and into the byways, and puts its great arm around the labor ing people, who create the wealth of the country, and undertakes to lift them up into a higher and a better life. I thank God, for one, that the Democratic party to-day is in the hands of those who have the cour age to take some of the burdens from the people and put them upon the accumulated wealth of the coun try, and instead of this bill sounding the death knell of the Democratic party. I believe it is but the first step onward to a higher prosperity and a more glorious career. If it shall only have the courage to move farther on the line which has been selected, 1 believe, instead of our Re publican friends in 1897 seeing a Re publican President inaugurated, that t:he standard of Democracy will be advanced still higher and that our banners will again float over the House of Representatives, the Senate, and the White House when the next President shall be inaugurated. fhe Prohibitionists of Haverhill, ft'Vss., having been defeated at the polls in the recent election, have hit uj. a the desperate expedient of en tering into competition with the saloon-keepers of that city in the hope to drive them out of the busi ness.

There is an enormous glut of gold reported from London, and it is-con-fidently predicted the dam will break after awhile and there will be a great and sudden rise qf securities. Others predict a great gold boOm like that the world had upon the discovery of gold boom like that tlie world had upon the discovery of gold in Cali fornia in 1849.' He is indeed "a smart man" who can tell what of the unexpected will happen and what this immense accumulation of highly appreciated gold in London portends. A writer in the London Pall Mall Gazette prophesies that the $5,000,000,000 of sterling money now lying idle must break out and seek l&vestments somewhere. Gold is moving from India to London in large quantities. ; The London Stat ist says this: "If gold is exported in large quan tities from India, the grounds upon which the closing of the mints was determined are completely cutaway. It is proved conclusively that neither a gold standard nor a gold currency in India is possible. . As Europe prefers gold to silver, India prefers silver to gold." It thinks that India holding so much gold could make money more plentiful and cheaper if it would part with it and send to England. The goldolators predict vast productions of gold in Africa. While all this talk as to gold is in teresting particularly to the friends of the j'cllow metal, there is talk of silver progress too. Newspapers not heretofore favorable to silver, like the New York Press, Republican, and the Cincinnati Enquirer, Democrat, are talking rather more favorably of the white metal. The latter says: "Ours is the greatest silver-producing country on the globe, and the best interests of all who arc pro ducing wealth will be immeasurably promoted by its universal use as money. "The Enquirer is ready to advo cate any practicable, honest, honor able and statesman-like mode to make silver a universal standard of value. It is hi ; the power of the American Congress to make it to the interest and profit of all com mercial nations to join in the coin age of silver at a fixed ratio with gold. We hcartly concur in the op inion of Balfour and other distin guished English statesmen that if tne United States persist in the coin age of silver England and other European monometallist nations must conform their money to ours or lose their most valuable trade." While silver is depreciated because of unfriendly American and English legislation and the action of, the Latin Union in Europe, and gold is enthroned and highly advanced in value while products and invest ments are vastl- depreciated, dcla in adjusting the currency continues and the large part of .the Democratic platform as to currency to this hour remains unredeemed, and no effort to do so is made by the "powers that be." Gold will never cease to control the world and effects injuri ously American industries so long as this country keeps up its policy to coin only gold. Restore silver as it should be under the Constitution and the good effect will soon be seen as to foreign trade. Hear the Cin cinnati Enquirer, leading democratic paper in Ohio, saying this: Nations do not "swap" money any more than they trade yardsticks; they exchange commodities. Our commerce witn foreign countries amounts to'hundreds of millions an nually. How many French francs or British guineas have you got? And can you purchase a drink or a dog in this country with your im ported coin? The prattle indulged in by the metallists about "money that is good the world over" is mere goose-speech, intended for intellect ual goslings. There is no such money. r : America sells a cargo of cotton in England aud buys fine wines ol France: No British money comes to America, no American coin is carried to France. Bills of exchange do the business and one debt is made to dis- tut oinci. The Atlanta Constitution, sunnd and wise and able on finance, says this: 'There is no more reason for wait ing until Europe adopts bimetallism than there would be in waiting for Europe to adopt any other good thing which is within our control." The New Yofk Press, Republican and gold bug, is impressed with the. Highest of all in Leavening Power. &&'H triumph of silver It finds nothing now to approve in a single gold standard. It is a marvellous change indeed that has come over it within a twelve month. Hear what this quondam organ of gold-bnggcry has to say, after a lesson of experience: "Germany, for evatnplc, was upon a single silver basis when the war with France was fought, and the civilization of the country, like its military power, was never higher. France is, and for centuries has been, one of the most highly civilized na tions in the world, Ii has led man kind in the useful arts, and in the meantime it has proved itself to be possessed of resources which have permitted it to recover from disaster more quickly than any other Euro pean nation has ever done. But France has always used silver more largely than gold, and at this mo ment its stock of silver is greater than any in existence outside of India 2 It is admitted by all competent authorities that India has accom plished more for the development of its manufacturing industries during the last twenty years, when gold was at a premium, than dining any other period in its history. This is true also of Mexico and of Japan." All of the gold dolators are not Bourbons. Some really learn by ex perience and study and after awhile correct their mistakes. There is an eucauroging outlook for the future of silver in our own county, is the belief of many newspapers. Wil mington Messenger. Railroads and the Army. Along( with the other echoes of the strike comes the 'cry for a large in crease of the regular army. In a large army, with adequate garrisons in or near all our large cities, it is urged, will be found the only secure protection against such outbreaks as this Chicago strike. To this it need only be said that when a socie ty or nation becomes so degenerate, effeminate and corrupt that it can be saved only by soldiers it is not worth the saving. No nation has ever been in that way. The only sure defense of nations or communi ties is in the manhood and spirit of its citizens; and the m&nly virtues will be sadly wanting when it shall become necessary to invoke the aid of the regular array iu putting down' disturbances of public order. It was not the presence of a hand ful of regular troops in Chicago that disjK'rscd the mobs and opened a passage for the railway trains. It was the majesty of the American nation revealed in the proclamation of President Cleveland that paralyzed the conspirators against public or der in the midst of their councils. The most reckless were quelled when they read in the proclamation the purpose of the Government to bring nil its forces, not merely its little army, into the field i I necessary for the maintenance of peace. The Picsi dent thus spoke bv the authority of the American people; and the people would have required no increase of the regular army to make good his word. But vve are told that it is now evi dent that the carrying corporations arc unable to protect themselves from the frequent recurrences of strikes, and that it is, therefore, cs sential that the Federal Government should always have in readiness a large military force to overawe the lawless elements of society. For that matter, there never was a time when the carrying companies couki protect themselves without the aid of the ci vil authorities. The business of the railroad- corporations is to transport freights and passengers; and thev could not do this with sat- i isfaction to the public or to their 4L.iir,Mrc if thev should be llslu-,k " . r OUllgCU lO IIlMUlrtil . lft,- jw..vv. j force for their protection. Ihcy are Untitled, however, to the same pro tection for person and property that is due to all persons and property under a government of law. This duty of protection devolves, first, on the municipal authority; and when that fails the State must interve NO. 24 - -Latest U. S. Gov't Report ! rr The ' final appeal in case of neglect of both the municipal' and the State authorities is to the strong arm of the Federal Government. But there is no necessity for a standing army, the existence of which in a Republic is the last proof of an uttcrdccadence of spirit and patriotism in its people. When the citizens of Chicago shall come to pay $6,000,000 or $8,000, 000 in damages for the destruction of railroad property they will have a more lively sense than ever of the duty of keeping under stern subjec tion the lawless clement among them. If such an argument should fail to impress them, nothing else would be likely to serve. Philadel phia Record. "ftrent Strike nnil High Tnrift Go To Sftlii-r." The Baltimore Sun shows that the , cause of, the great discontent and fre quent strikes of American labor for the past thirty years can be traced to no other cause but our disastrous protective tariffs. The Sun adduces from the mercantile statistics of the country the vast number of business failures, and it points oat with un answerable argumcn4he insepara ble connection between these failures and the distress, dissatisfaction and revolt of labor. It says: "If the constant stimulation of higher tariff rales could, as their ad vocates claimed, have given business larger profits and labor larger pay, the last twenty years must have witnessed a steady decline in the number alike of business failures and labor strikes. Instead of that, both have gone en increasing together. From 1S73 to 1S82, inclusive, ten J years, 74,978 failures are recorded in this country. That was unpre cedented. But in the eight years from 18S3 to 1S02 the more appal ling total of S2,00C failures was reg istered. . . Their number rose to very nearly 11,000 in 1S90, the year of McKinley's climax tariff. The next year, protection having touched Alio high water mark of all our his tory, the list of insolvents touched high water mark, too, and 12,273 failures were the melancholy product of the last and greatest effort to tax the country into prosperity. And this talc of disaster was overtopped again in 1S93, aucr two full years of the highest tariff ever enacted, by a grand total of 15.560 failures, rep resenting liabilities of $462,000, MO." This -showing confirms the view of the Herald that the cause of the re cent great strikes was to he traced to "protection." Surely partisan ship may well pause and yield to patriotism in the light of these his torical facts. Labor eannot be satis fied where business is paralysed. Congress mny now well take to heart the closing words of the Sun: "Manufacturers tied up to a home maiktt that is not equal to the out put, and agriculture torcetl to sell its products in the cheapest and buy its. supplies in the dearest market, must both be relieved. Larger markets, freer trade and a fairer chance for all is the demand of the hour. New York Herald. lii(-i:len( of the Sympathetic Strike.
