By "WILLIAM II. BERNARD. v - ! WILMINGTON, N. C. . - Sunday Morning, Aug. 16, 1891 BEGIHNLSGr AT THE END. j . At the recent meeting of the Far mers' Alliance at Morehead Col. Polk, the President of the Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union, made a speech, to which the public gener ally were invited, and in which he discussed the matters of interest to the people for whom he spoke. In this speech he took the ground, as he does in all his speeches, that the tariff has little or nothing to do with the depressed condition of the agricultural industry and that the first question in which the farmers oT the country as a class are interested is not tariff reform, but financial reform, which according to him and other speakers who enter tain the same views, means a radi . cal revolution of the whole financial system of this Government. Ex actly how the revolution is to be effected is not stated, but some of the features are developed in the financial demands in the Ocala plat form, which it is stated was almost unanimously reaffirmed by the Alli ance men who heard the Colonel's speech, and to whom he put' the question during the course of his speech. . . : One of these demands is for the free and unlimited coinage of silver, another for the abolition of the national bank system, for the issu ing of money direct by the Govern- ment to an amount equivalent to fifty dollars per capita, or a little over twice as much as there is in circulation now , (or rather in exist ence, for it is not all in circulation.) It is a surprising thing to us how any one can assert that the tariff is in no way responsible for the bur dens which the farmer has to bear, when as a matter of fact, the farm ers suffer more from it than any other class of people in the Repub lic. It is a two-edge blade that cuts both ways, for while it increases the price of what he has to buy it inter feres with the ready sale and lowers the price of what he has to sell tjt c , , ,- . iic pays irom imrcy 10 sixty per cent, more for the implements and machinery 'he-uses on his farm than the farmers of Mexico and Central and South America pay for them The reason why he does not realize what he pays is because he pays it indirectly. If the money thus payed were assessed as taxes against him by the State it would at once be pronounced, ana justly so, outrage ous extortion. - in the aggregate the people of this country pay $600,000,000 a year more for the goods they buy in con sequence of the tariff tribute impos ed upon them than they would have to pay if there were no protective tariff. If this were pro rated among the farmers it would make $120,000, 000 a year that they have to pay,but they pay much more than this pro rata,- for nearly everything they need that they do not raise is taxed the heaviest. Let the farmer take . the McKinley bill, go through it. no:e the articles he hss 10 buy ard the dqties imposed upon each anl he will soon discover that - the tariff is not only a matter of importance but of very great importance to hiin. " There is no doubt that financial reform is necessary and that there ought to be more money in circu lation, at least as much per captia as the Ocala platform demands. ' That is about the rate per capita in France, the strongest nation financially in the world. But the financial reform '. desired can never come to be permaiieut un til lariff reform comes. That must precede it for while a tariff is in ex istence that takes from the people the sum of $600,000,000 a year it is only a question of time when it would absorb the circulation even if doubl ed as it does now and carry it from the extremities to the center and lock it up in the ; vaults of the tax collectors and the money done for Money can kings as it has years and is doing now. be borrowed in as large sums as de sired in the money centers of the East, on approved security, for three and a half : per cent., while in the South from eight to twelve is paid and in the West from ten to eighteen. Why ? Because under the tariff and the financial system based upon it the money is taken out of the pock ets of the people, where it should be left, and carried to the coffers of the beneficiaries of this system and locked up until they find it to their interest to let it loose. Whether the circulation were $23 of $50 per capita it would be all the same in a tT' have the most of it. What is needed with or without the increased circulation is reform or abolition of the system which clogs the circulation and diverts it into one channel where it empties into" the Eastern vaults. The preform which does not prqvide to keep the money in circulation, and among the people where it should be will be no .improvement however large the per capita of money may be. The monev that is locked up renders no .service and pracneally speaking might as well not be in existence, but bring down the tariff to a revenue basis and with it wipe out the internal revenue system and the two great causes for disarranging the .'finances by drawing the money from circum ference to center, so to speak, will be removed and then the first step in thedirect:on of refo- m in Jhe finances will have beej taken. - MINOS MENTION. The revelations concerning the treatment of the convicts in the Briceville, Tenn., coal mines present a striking and shocking illustration of the abuses that result from the lease system and one of the strong est arguments against it. The con victs, in whom the world has lost in terest, outcasts, with no one to look after them, are hired by companies whose object is to work them as hard as they can, and get all the profit they can out of them for the time they have them employed. As a general thinsr these con- panies take much better care of their mules, than they do of the con victs, because the disabling or the loss of a mule means the loss of some oney, while . the loss of a convict costs them nothing. Abuses are not confined to the Briceville coal mines, but have prevailed, and do still pre vail, in other places, in penitentiaries and out of them, where the lease sys tem is in operation, in some in stances the convicts may be treated with some care and humanity, but m a maionty of cases thev are not. The system that puts men at the mercy of greedy and merciless mas ters is radically wrong tnd should not be permitted to remain as stigma upon any State. - some or tne auti-suver coinage men nave round anotner argument against it. A wonderfully " rich sil ver miue nas - Deen discovered in Colorado, a solid slab of silver about three inches thick running in to a mountain and down no one knows how far into the bowels of the earth. This looks very much Uke running it into the ground. They say it will never do to go on coining this stuff without limit when it is to be dumped out from such deposits as that. We have read of these fabulously rich strikes of silver and gold before, but somehow or an other they never pan out enough to make either metal cheap enough to be "nasty," as Mr. McKinley says of cheap goods. But if . this style of argument goes on, the next thing we may expect will be to hear the silver men calling into service the geologist who has discovered that the bowels of the earth are filled with mttlten gold which is caught up in the i- rocks as the crust ccols. What would the result on the go?d supply be it some great bore like Senator Blair were brought into re quisition, an artesian well sunk down to the bubbling liquid, and at flowing stream' struck? "Just think-of the gold stock then. That three inch silver veiir wouldn't be a streak of daylight to it. . -. sic Some of the friends of Mr. Cleve land express the opinion that the suggestion that he be nominated for Governor, strongly advocated by the World, is a device of the enemy to shelve him. and put him out of the list of Presidential possibilities. With the suggestion coming from that paper, so earnestly urged by the World, which is regarded as particu larly partial to Gov. Hill, these sus picions are natural whether they be well founded or not. While Gov. Hill might not countenance such a scheme, with such a motive,, it does not follow that some of his friends who want to get Cleveland out of the way would not. As there are more ways than one of killing a cat, so there are more ways than one of killing po- itical rivals. Some times they are persuaded to kill themselves, and sometimes they are stilettoed by enemies in the disguise of friends. If this were the motive how easy it would be for the gentlemen who would like to .see Cleveland shelved to slaughter him on the day of elec tion, which they could very easily do by keeping their clans away from the polls while they themselves were doing mouth service to prevent sus picion. It is pretty safe to predict under the circumstances that Mr. Cleveland will not be the nominee for Governor. There is a demand in the West for money to move the grain crop, and while money is reported easy in the East there is still, for some reason, according ;o the commercial repons. a vague sense of uneasiness" While tne West is cramped for mouey to handle the grain that comes to mar ket the U. S. Treasury helps to still further contract the circulation. Last week it took in nearly2,000,000 more than it paid out. This is not the fault of the Treasury. It is sini ply attending to business and gate enng in tne shecfceis that are not coming in quite as fast as Secretary Foster would like them o come since the Billion Dollar Congress raided the Treasury. The protective tariff and the extravagance which gets away with the money collected ave two of the causes which contract the circulation and hamper business by taking from the channels of trade the money that is needed. And yet we are told that the farmer is not affected by the Iiigh tariff which is one of the causes of the financial stringencies from which he suf?er. STATE TOPICS. The card which we publish else where, announcing that the Alumni of the State University offer five fel lowships, of the value ot $300 a year, is an encouraging sign of a growing interest in higher education, and leads to the hope that the five may be increased Jyear after year. This hope is strengthened by the zeal and energy which President Winston brings to the work, which are already beginning to show their good effects. We want to see the time when the University and our Colleges may turn. out scholars enough to fill all the places where they may be needed without sending to other States for them. CURRENT COMMENT. Niedringhaus is defiant. A few months ago he was begging for a tin tariff. Not satisfied with this, he next begged for the privilege of importing foreign tinplate workers. Denied that, he has mounted a high horse and will try to ride down Sec retary Foster. It is the same old story of what comes ot putting such men on horseback. Phil. - Record, Dem. - Secretary- Halford and his brother , have sold their paper at Youngstown, ".. O., . which they pur chased a few' months ago when the Harrison forces decided that a lite rary bureau in Ohio was a necessity. Does this movement mean that the popularity of Blaine in the Buckeye State, renders the investment un profitable? Chicago Mail, Dem. - The McKinley bill is a gun which kicks as hard as it shoots. It seems to have knocked things into pi in England, and it certainly is playing the' mischief with America. There is only one little saving clause, and that , is sugar, put in by Mr. Blaine. We are glad , to be able to take sugar in "ourn." England also has this privilege. The end of good times 1 That sounds Ominous. Norfolk Landmark, Dem.

Brown, a well known citizen of Meck lenburg, died at his home in Hunters ville yesterday. Mr. Brown was 82 years of age. He leaves a wife aged 84, and a sister aged 80. Wilson Advance: .There is no doubt about the fact that the population of Wilson is increasing. f It would do so more rapidly if houses could be secured. Every house here now is occupied, and there are perhaps twenty in course of construction. Washington Gazette- The heaviest cucumber on record so far was exhibited at this office last week. It was raised by Mr, C. M. Bailey, of this town. It was seventeen inches long, fourteen inches in circumference and weighed five and a half pounds. Charlotte Chronicle-. C. H.Reid, the forger, who so successfully took in E. M. Andrews and A. C Hutchinson, of this city, and succeeded in. getting two bills of goods, has been heard from under the alias of I C H. Lewis, and is wanted in Asheville for forgery. i Asheville Citizen'. Victor L. Hy man, of Hendersonville, died at his home in that town, last night, of typhoid fever. Mr. Hyman was about 27 years of age and a lawyer ot excellent pros pects. He was at the time ot ' bis death Mayor of Hendersonville. Rocky Mount Phanix: Big pre parations are being made to handle the tooacco crop 01 tnis section in our mar ket. The number of prize houses' going up, the general air of activity and bustle, are eloquent ot the beginning ot a new era in the history of Rocky Mount. Elizabeth City Economist and Falcon-. We are sorry to see that Ocra coke has closed, and to hear that the season has not been a prosperous one. - - The Tomato war is raging in the fork. The tide of battle changes,, and "Old Trapper" is on top. He rlaid on our table Thursday seven tomatoes. four of which measured half a oallon. Mount Holly News-. The yield of corn in this" county this year, bids fair to be unprecedented. Such a pros pect was never before known, and if nothing unpropitious happens an im mense crop will be gathered this fall. r There is a man in j this town, aged about thirty-five years, who can write a splendid letter and cannot read a word of printed matter. He can take a clip ping from a newspaper and copy it in a very fair hand, but cannot read the printed matter. This is no snake story. -4 Franklin Titr.es: The Times learns from a pretty reliable source that a negro living in j Kentucky acknowel edges t he killing of R. E. Gill, whose atrocious murder in this count 7 a little over a year ago, is still fresh in the minds of the people. It is stated that a white man who left the State some years ago, has written to parties in this county, giving the information : that' the negro told told him he was forced to leave the State for killing a man by the name of Gill, in Franklin, j j f Kinston Free Press: George Sparrow, colored, was up before Mayor Pollock Saturday for brutally beating his twelve or thirteen-year-old daugh ter. 1 Her face was badly hurt, he hav ing struck her in the face with a brick. He was bound over to court in the sum of $100. - The $100 which Mr. Mar tin Nobles, of Jones county, paid to the express company here for a "green goods" package, was returned to Agent Nurin by the company, as it was not called for at the other end of the line, and Mr. Nunn notified Nobles that the money was in his hands and could be secured by an attachment and bond "to protect the company against any chance of loss. The money was finally paid over to Noble's i attorney, Mr. Chas. Brown, on an attachment before Justice Moore. .-- Weldon News: It is with much regret that we announce the death of Major Will Whitaker which occurred at his home a few miles from Enfield, on Friday last, of a congestive chill; at an advanced age. On Thursday morn ing last, the 6th inst, this community was filled with sorrow by the announce ment that Joe Gooch was dead, having passed away at 5.15 o'clock. He had an attack of the grippe more than a year ago which left him with a bronchial affection which gradually grew worse until about a month since he was unable to leave his bed. Among the con victs on the State farms near here is a full blooded African. It is not known whether he was brought here as a slave but it is supposed that . he immigrated of his own free will and accord as he is a comparatively a young man. He has only one hand, the other having been bit off above the wirst by a tiger in the jungles of the dark continent. - Mr. V. M. Barton hands in the best) snake story of the season. - Last week while on his way 1 to school in the country, 'he. discovered what appeared to be a large brown snake crawling along the road. He procured a big stick and struck the snake a terrible blow, when to his astonishment the snake separated ana movea in many directions, rte was greatly astonished to find that the snake -was composed of an army of small worms ; about two inches long. The worms had formed a perfect-looking snake, tapering down from a large head and body to a long, keen tail. This story is vouched for, and. is actually correct - in every particular. Miss Hawkins, a bright young lady ana tne aaugnter or Mr. a. w. Hawkins. of this county, died at her home Mon day of a peculiar disease of the throat. Last February she commenced to expe- a li.. . m rience great aimcmiy in swanowmg, ana soon after she realized that her throat was closing up. Three physiciaus were called in, but the disease Damea tneir skill.

"That act was supposed to represent a certain degree of heroism. . . . - . 1 i 1 am reminded 01 an mciaeni wnicii took place about thirty weeks ago.

The request was granted, but the leader of the posse called back to him that he thought he would need some instructions on that f question. The fellow in the hole said he guess ed not. He was then, told to get himself ready. He pulled on one boot and theu the other. He threw them outside his hiding place and said " 'I die like a Christian gentleman; I die with my boots off.
