Yon say 'Oh, if my father had only livsd I would have had a better education and I would have had a more promising start, and tjhere are some wrinkles on my brow that would not have been there.'

The crucial test of govern ment is its success in working "the greatgood to the greatest number.' "The1 greatest number" ia always the weak and the poor.

Io the West, where they have the most improred machinry, farming is no more profitable than hete; If the farmer employs fewer hands to mate twice as much corn, he ought to some of the profits of this piece of good lack as well as -the customer. If the immediate effect of increasing the quantity of wheat in the market is to pus the place down, the ultimate effect is to ins erease the amount of wheat used and needed and the price starts op again : The more we bave the more we nse, the more w even need tbe world, over: ' "'- ' Other industries bava improved machinery also maltipljing tbe power of production many fold, bat ordinarily tbe profits of tbe. new 1 improved machinery bare gone into the packets of ibe manufac turer first..

Don't that iock like the - greatest evil to tbe greatest number' and the greatest good to the fewest num ber, wonld more properly express the; genius of our institutions! Such a swindle would bean imposs sibility under honest laws and an honest administration of them. The bare statement of the proposi tion is monstrous to a man wnose miud 13 not tainted with the spir it of greed. We ridicule the na tions of Europe because they tax themselves a few extr millions for the support of their nobles and royal families. Stripped ot all the verbal paraphernalia which the in itialed have invented to deceive and which do deceive the people, we bave txed ourselves many hun dred millions to support our royal amines , t he manipulators of stock exchanges and presi Vents of trusts.

This is a regular upas tree- Personal credit is almost a thing of tbe past.

Oarr have loaned young men jast start ing in life money npon their bare moral responsibility, bat ho didn't do it as an investment. Prudent inventors trying to save the money of themseive and clients are right in not loaning money on moral re sponsibility. The rale is now that money so loaned is gone forever. Tbe rule is that ertch borrower CAN NOT pay back. He hakes nothing to pay back with. The use of the dollar is not profitable to him. Tbe refusal of the holders of mon ey to loan upaa moral responsibili ty is a ''dead give awaj" on the Yankee's dollar. Its show that the average honest poor man can not nse it with profit. It is a strong indictment against any sys tem that the AVERAGE man cannot work tt to advantage. All human institutions stand or fall by their effect upoa the aveeaob man. Iu North Carolina, and in the bugs iness of agriculture threnghoat the Union, the average man is in debt payable to the Yankee ultimate; v I know of two classes of men real heartily in favor of tight money : (I.) The monopolistic specula tors aud in manipulators of the car rency. We have now. got these spotted pretty well. They are in the steal and making a big thing out of ic- (2.) The small dishonest capi talists who THINKS he is in the steal, bat ready isn't. He don't wake cp to' the fact that he is in the whale's belly of monopoly if he can keep a few small flab in his own belly. ' Swallowing is m sweet he don't kDo" he' is swallowed. I know a good many small capitalists and know a good many capitalists who, aie in favor of potting the currency upon an honest basis and who know that a currency whose volume is under tbe control or par -tial control of the speculator is es sentially dishonest. There is a class of individuals who pretend tbey can't understand what yon mean by increasing tbe valtje of tbe dollar by decreasing or hoard ing tbe amount In circulation. 2sow t this fellow who is starting oat into yaoEity with such water-eyed i l cility, is not such a fool as h lar.y appear.

The Dollar-Hunter' is right for once. Bat wby couldn't be ?t-e it was robbery to put 10, or 20, or SO caats into the dollar ! Why can't be see that it's "cheating" aud "high handed robber v of tbe'dth? or or class to CONTEAtT the currency! He does see it. Anvboo'v who om see the one, sees tho other. Both undue expansion or contraction are evils, but of the two, expansion is Infinitely the less, because "the greatest member" (especially after periods of contraction) are in debt: aud the fellows who have got morts ey are the best ab'e to bear the I0S8, : There is a large class of 'onr-citizens who received fired salaries, some of whom are afraid that it the value of tho dollar is put down to 10) cents they will ba ir.jurcd.

Let the peeple be so educated upon the subject that they will realizs its importance sufficiently to demand of the nxt Legislature the passage of Bitch laws as will enable! the counties to put the public roads in proper condition. Ia fur therance of this object, let as send to the Legislature men of broad and liberal views, men who are not afraid of their shadow, men who are not "pen ny wise and; pound foolish." We need, and ought to have, iu our Legislature, men of progressive characters of advanced thought, of manhood and pat riotism. We hope to see as sembled in Raleigh in our next Legislature, a body of men who are abreast with the times. Let the old fossils stay at home. They simply scotch the wheels of progress. We have no further use for them. ' -.FARMKKS MUST EEAD MORE. , Col. Tracy in his s-peech Jhera . said one great drawback to the farmers' prosperity and progress, was their failure to read as much as they ought to. As he is authorized to ep oak for them, we suppose what he says is true. It is too often the case men are heard to ridicule what, they . term book farming. Book farming is after all, nothing but the published theories and facts which farmers Lava learnt and if we do not read them how are we eve? to ' ra any tiling, except by the -. v plan of experience.
