KyWTLIilAM Mm BKBNABD. WILMINGTON, N. C. Wednesday Evening. Aug. 23, 1886 EVENING EDITION. JOE CtTBRENCT. ; We publish a portion of a very in teresting letter Mr. Watterson, of the Ix)uisville Courier-Jbuanal,yr rote tn his nanfir on the 6th of Aupast. from Switzerland. It throws light na oiluoV nnoatinn from havnnil 1 the sea. It is important because the currency question is a live one, and concerns the whole world. The Cleveland Administration threw it self into the arms of the bondholders and . gold men . at - the start. Mr. Cleveland did not even wait to take the oath of office before he antagon ized ina t letter the party in the ' House with which it was supposed he was identified. From that day until now the finances , have been conducted in a "way to placate and tickle Wll Street, says: "' v .-' Mr. Watterson "I do not mean this , as an attack upon the President. . With many of his opinions upon financial matters I agree. But I have a right as a Democrat to question the wis dom of a Democratic ' Administration's raising as a doctrinal issue that which is a question of business .expediency simply; of this Democratic Administration's forcing the fighting upon the ground of the ene my's choosing, giving no time for confer ence or debate, but precipitating its moie or less sectional, as well .as theoretical ex tremeism upon unexpectant and unprepared party associates; and finally, of this Demo cratic Administration's seeking , to sustain its stand-and deliver policy by a mistaken assumption of the position of foreign gov ernments, when it has ' a number of idle gentlemen in every capital - of Europe to find out whatever it seeks to know." i Voters this year ought to be a lit- tie careful.

As the old woman said of her husband, "he is sot in his ways." He has lent willing ears to Tio anmiM nf silvpr. and this has , . . ' . had much to do in shaping his opm- . tr. : ion and action.' He is honest, but he has not shown conspicuous wisdom, according to the views of the ablest leaders in the Democratic party. v We arain auote from Mr. Watterson. O JL He says: - , "But I do not think that his treatment of the question has has been just or politic- Abuse ana sneers." wnerewuo ms n.asicru suDDorters' have mainly delivered them selves, are not exactly the arguments to carry conviction to, the West and to coax the South." ; - j But let us turn once more to the Thnnderer. as the London limes is called. What does that most influen tial of all papers say of the monetary crisis and the specious arguments of monometallists ? Hear it: 1 "Itis plainly no use to try and pooh- pooh the discussion as antiquated or to de nounce the renewed examination of bimet allist doctrines as waste of time. It may be that, as a matter of theory, bimetallism have added and can add nothing to their case. The old insuperable objection, that in the face of any great alteration in the in trinsic values of siver and cold. : such as laws and governments are powerless to pre vent, no artifice can prevent the metal of increasine value from coins out or circula tion, will seem as valid as ever it did to unbiased - cnucs. JJut the nest the oretical arguments are a weak ans wer to the sharp cry of practical distress. Over and over again doctrines which have long been established to the satisfaction of the learned in the lecture room have had to descend into the market place to be heckled before thev could get themselves generally recognized by the mass of the people. Mo nometallism may appear as convincing as ever to the majority of students, though even among theoretical economists there is a large and 'influential body of doubters. But the commercial and industrial world declines to be convinced by their demon strations. It is beginning to insist,' with no uncertain voice, on the reopening of the question, and on an appeal from the doc- tnnanes to the men of business." The Stab has long ago in repeated artic!es Btated its PPositioa lhe 1CD1CUU "uu,ou uvf"u"u6 IiL would like to sustain the man elected by the Democrats in all he does, but without stultification it can not. The Stae favors both gold and silver as the proper, needed currency for the country. It is just as sin cere and decided in this as the Presi dent is in his war upon silver. We commend the extract last given from the London Times to all candidates in North Carolina, if there be such, x - who are with- the President and against their party , on the currency question. Mr. Watterson closes his letter with the following that is pertinent and not too strong: , "The President has learned a great deal since he came into office. But he has yet a great deal to learn . One thing is certain. and that is if he had thrown himself into the fight for Tariff Reform, upon which he would have found the party substantially united, with half the positivity with which he drew the line upon this silver question, lor which it was unprepared, and on which, without time for advisement, it was bound hopelessly to split, his Admin istration would to-day command the situa tion and hold the winning cards.

'A road to Wrightsville Sound is ; needed. - It ought to bo built, and ono of the railroads terminating at Wilmington might construct it at small cost com paratively and with profit to itself.

The Republicans made a mistake in 1884, when they nominated Blaine, If they had nominated Harrison or Hawley or Edmunds they j would J have elected him. The New York Republicans are said to bo, about to perpetrate an act of folly of the first magnitude. It is" to nominate for Mayor of the" great city Vanderbilt or A8tor.

It is now said that scarlet fever is from the cow just as small-pox is. This is the discovery "of an English physician. If this be true then, as the Mobile Register suggests, the milk for children ought to be boiled. Many dyspeptics cannot drink milk unless boiled. Raw milk to many is a positive poison. 1 he bavannan News says. 'The man who discovers an antidote for scarlet fever will render as great a service to humanity as the physicians who discov ered the cause of the disease, and it is pro-. bable that bis fame will be greatest. There is an antidote. The eminent Dr. Holcombe, of New Orleans, Pre sident of the Homeopathic Board of Health, says that belladonna, if taken in time, is as much a specific In scar let fever as vaccination is in small- pox. That is to say, as many would .i - i ... be cured by its prompt use in the one disease as would escape small-pox from vaccination in the other disease. John 11.

' the elevation of sach. a man to the first fiscal oiSee and the leadership of the House of Commons is an event and justifies .the j attention. ; the. - London -press has given, and is giving to it. "There is, . the limes begins, "a per ceptible . flutter among ; orthodox economists at the tu ought or the large innovations in our financial policy with which we might find our selves confronted if the new, Chan celior of the Exchequer" were to at tempt to give the Fair Traders as much' satisfaction by his actiou in office' as he has undoubtedly done by his language in opposition.! Anx iety on -this score- seems to us,; we must own, premature,if not absolute ly unnecessary, i Apart entirely from the great practical difficulties of any attempt to tamper jn detail with the well compacted system of our na tionaV, finance, there are political rea sons of the gravest kind why! a Gov ernment-dpendeht upon the support of a section , of the Liberal; party should ' hesitate to raise a question which' would at once unite all Libe rals against it. It is not from the quarter 1 of Fair ,Trade ; that those who live in constant dread of the re- crudesence of. economic 'heresies' need fear, for the present, any seri ous disturbances of their peace." In other words, Free Trade is sof'solid'' in England, that the Tories cannot afford to attack it. To attempt that would be at once to unite the Libe ral?, who are," one and allj Free Traders. -What then is it that the new Minister of Finance can do out side of Irish affairs, to excite alarm ? Lhelimes proceeds atjonce to tell us with a specihcation and a positiviy which leave no room for us,; or foi anybody, to doubt. . Thus: , ' -j "Observers of the currents of pub lie opinion, who have not been wholly absorbed by the Irish question, must for some time past have noticed that the vague but widespread discontent arising out of the long-continued de pression of trade has of late shown a tendency to concentrate itself upon a single point. There is an increasing inclination to attribute a large and even the lion's share in our industrial sufferings to the appreciation of gold and an increasing belief that by re course to a double standard the per nicioua change in the relation of cur rency to commodities can be reme- J died, i ; Undoubtedly the economic heresy . which has gained most ground with the general public during the last year or two, and which indeed has come to front by leaps and bounds in the past few months, is not protec tion but bimetallism. As long ago as last spring the interest felt in the sub jecthad risen to such a height that Mr. Gosohen,' the last man in the world to make a rash plunge on any ques Jiion, especially a financial one, asked a question of the Government which pointed directly to a special commis- Biuii, utBbiuub irom mat inquiring generally into the causes of the de pression of trade, to investigate the currency crisis. At that time the answer was that the commission al ready in existence was ouita nomne ir m A . r ent to consider, the monetary aspect or tneir subject as well as every other.

My has been! afflicted with hereditary Eczema n.

During the spring of 1881 her lower cauoxuiucu unHuus luuauieu ana sore tbat she was obliged to keep them constantly coated and allowed to dry on. Among other things, she ache, occurring regularly every seven days sometimes followed by intermittent fever for weeks at a time, so that her life became a bur den to her. This spring I determined she should take S. 8.. and follow strictly the directions in regard to dose, diet, etc. This was about seven weeks aeo After taking the first large bottle the disease seemed to increase; the burning, itching and in flammation became unbearable. She, however persevered in the use of the medicine. After taking the second bottle the Inflammation began to subside. After the third bottle the inflamma tion disappeared, and sore spots dried up and turned wnlte and scaly, and finally she brushed them off In an impalpable white powder re sembling pure salt. She is now taking the sixth bottle, three tablespoonsful four;tunes daily. Everv appearance of the disease has gone, and her flesh is becoming soft, white and smooth again; and what is more, her periodical headaches have disappeared, and she Is now, at 53 years of age, enjoying the only good health she has known for UDwards of 40 years. No wonder she declares with emphasis that every bottle of S. S. 8. is worth' a thousand times its weight in gold. - Any further information concerning her case win be cheerfully given by herself at her resi dence, 135 Mullett street, or by me. ' .. - JOHN F.
