By WlXlrlAffl H. BERNARD. WILMINGTON, N. C. Saturday Morning, June 20, 1896 McKINLEY IT IS. It has been a foregone conclusion for some time that William McKin- ley would be the nominee of the St, T.nnis convention.' Practically his competitors, while keeping up the appearance of a contest, gave the fight up several weeks ago, a fact which Senator Quay virtually ac knowledged when he made his "mys terious" visit to Canton, and more emphatically confessed when Mr. Reed's manager, Manley, acknowl edged publicly that McKinley would be nominated on first ballot. There was really no fight against him at St. Louis, for the opposition saw that Mr. Hanna had a majority of the delegates, that it was useless to contest, and therefore they fell m as racefullv as thev could behind the o McKinley band wagon. Not being able to capture the nom ination for a gold candidate, tney rontAmH thpir efforts on securing a gold platform to bind the candidate, who had the reputation of leaning too much towards silver, and in this they succeeded, because Mr. Hanna, who would have preferred a straddle on the moaey question, feared a re volt against his candidate after the nomination and therefore yielded. As the gold men now have McKin ley bound by the platform, they will, of course. suoDort him as the best they can do, if not cheerfully. 1 ; They can't, of course, get up much pnthimiasm. for the nominee after their unmeasured criticism ot his standing on the money question, and the unstinted denunciation of Mr. Hanna's corrupt methods in securing State delegations, but will be as en thuslastic as they can on the plat form which in their opinion,-and truly, amounts to much more than ' the candidates, for it is the platform after all upon which the fight must be made and the issue decided. The plan of Mr. McKinley and his backers was to make the tariff the loomin? issue, but this plan was marred and practically destroyed by the gold men who brought the money question to the front and made that the issue, and hence the tariff will play only a subordinate and a very subordinate part in the -campaign and at the polls in Novem ber. The gold men made the issue and compelled Mr. HanHa, as the representative of Mr. McKinley, to accept it and to stand upon it. When they were doing that they were also exerting an influence to shape the course that the Democrats must pursue at Chicago, if there had been any doubt as to that, for as a matter of politics, if not of prin ciple, the Democratic party cannot afford to echo the Republican plat form on the money question, and drive in the rut of the Republican band wagon. This would be simply giving away our opportunity and ac knowledging to the world that the " same agencies which changed the Hanna-McKinley programme in the eleventh hour, and captured the Re publican organizatipn, also controls ' the Democratic party, an acknowl edgement which would be tantamount to party . suicide. As the -j situation now pre sents itself, whatever individual opinion may be on the money ques tion,' there is now for the Democrat who desires party success or hopes for it, no choice left. The party must declare for the free and unlim- ited coinage of silver or go into the contest handicapped and with defeat staring it in the face. Theie is no use in trying to dis guise the fact that we have a very formidable foe to confront; formida ble not only in numbers but in the dollars they can command to back their ticket. In fighting the Repub lican party we have always had to fight money; we will have to doit again, and more of it this time than ever before; but if there be the ster ling virtue in the masses of the American people that we believe there is they will triumph over this selfish money combine if the Demo cratic party defies it and puts .itself in full accord with the people. The ticket makers at St. Louis ap propriately finished their work by giving the second place on the ticket to Mr. Hobart, of New Jersey, whose chief distinction is that he is con nected with a multiplicity of stock companies and national banks, which was a very appropriate thing for a convention to do which was manipu lated by stock, jobbers and brokers. -President Cleveland gives the country through the New" York Herald the comforting assurance that "the Democratic party is neither unpatriotic nor foolish." This is not an original discovery with Mr. Cleve land, for there are several million Democrats of the same opinion, and they show it by insisting on going back to the old Democratic land marks on the money question and on making the issue direct with the money power which controls , the Republican pary. Seven thousand three hundred barrels of whiskey gone up in a big blaze in St. Louis, and about the time the convention assembled. This may account for the lack of enthu siasm that characterized the opening proceedings. "PROM A SOUTHERN STASIA POINT." We clip the following from the New York World: Tinder this heading the Wilmington (N. C) Star gives a temperate state nt thp reasons wbv there is a strong free-silver sentiment at the South and West. It is perhaps worth while to examina the reasons m tne spr which they are given. ',. The first reason is that money is very scarce and very hard to get. Ana the Star says that . -The large majority oi people and of the Western lehaye r . . i. .. mnnM to the u fl an idea (wnicu - - . sophisticated denizens o the back woods by a good deal) that the free coinage of silver will add considerably ih amnnnt of money in circulation, and that they will stand a better chance to get some of it. Th renl to this is that money is not scarce for those who have an eqaivalent to give for it; and that it is never plen tiful (honestly!) for those who have no equivalent. The per capita circuiauuu ui iuw now about $23. In 1873, to which time the free-silventes "hark back, it was only $18. There is a surplus reserve of ftan 000 000 in the New York banks. Asd in all ol me money centres iuuti large sums of money .lying mie or i cut on short loans at very low interet rates. But the Star, admitting that "there is lots of money in the banks," says it is controlled by "the Eastern money kings," and that the free coinage ol silver would "break up the monopoly." But how? Has a Southern or west ern firmer, suffering from ' the money thirst," ever really thought out the way in which the free coinage of "silver will relieve him? Free coinage simply means that a mine-owner or bullion dealer may take to the mint silver worth, say. 52 cents and get the Government to put the one dollar stamp upon . That is, for $52 000 worth of .silver bullion he could get $100,000 in silver dollars, It the price of silver should rise under this privilege the 'owner of the bullion would still get the coins. Now. how is the North Carolina man who is "short" to set "his snare oi mis mnnev ? Are kees of them to be opened in ivrv nost-office. with the sign "Take one," -Help yourself to your per capita?-' Can the grower of peanuts or tne pro ducer of tar or cotton or corn compel the mine-owner to eive upany part of his freely coined dollars in exchange lor these nroducts? If the Banners or "monev kines" want these dollars, does not our North Carolina friend know that they will have the means of getting rhAm and even - of "cornenne mem II that would be orofitablc? Instead of "adding constaeraoiy to tne amount of money in circulation, the free coinage of silver would cay ss the greatest and most d sistrous cot traction of our currency ever known. It would drive out of circulation, in obedience to a law which has operated with like effect in every tree-silver country in tne woria, all the gold coin and the gold certifi cates, which amount to over $600 000 - 000. It would likewise drive out of cir cilaticn or reduce one-half in value the $345,000,000 in greenbacks and the $214.- 000.000 of national banknotes. Would this contraction of more than a Quarter oi our currency enauic me . ii . Southern and Western people to "stand a better chance" to get mone?? Finally, we commend to the tree' silver men these unchallenged and irrefutable propositions of Secretary Carlisle: . First There is not a free coinage country in the world to day that is not on a silver basis. Second There is not a gold-standard country in the world today mat does not use silver as money along with gold Third There is not a silver-standard country in the world to-day that uses any gold as money along with silver. Tourth There is not a silver-standard country in the world to-day that has more than one-third as much monev in circulation per capita as the United States have. This might be called a reply from an Eastern standpoint, but is in fact no reply at all, because it is based on premises which have no tounaa tion in fact, and on inferences based entirely on assumption. If these were admitted then the World would be right in its contention, but it is simply building a man of straw to knock him down and manu facturing its premises to draw its own conclusions. "Money is not scarce," it tells us, "for. those who have ah equivalent to give for it." Isn't it? Have not the people of the South cotton, corn, tobacco and sundry other products to give for it? But money is scarce all the same.- Haven't the people of the West wheat, corn, oats, beef,' pork, I' wool, and sundry other products to give for it? But money is scarce all the same, and it may be remarked that it will take a good deal of cot ton at seven cents a pound and a good deal' of wheat at 60 cents a bushel, after the cost- of production is taken out, to put a little money in the farmer's pocket. But if the farmer be in debt, the debt, principal and interest must be paid according to agreement whether cotton be worth 7 or 10 cents a pound or wheat 60 or 80 cents a bushel. The money lender is safe however the money manipulators may play with the prices of the farmer's products. But perhaps the World means by "an equivalent" the gilt-edge col lateral which will draw money out of the Eastern money centers, like New York, for instance, where it tells us there is a surplus reserve ot over $20,000,000 awaiting borrowers at' low rates of interest for short loans. There are, doubtless, as the World says, many millions in the money centers wait ing borrowers on short loans. But what good does that do the masses of people in the South and West? Very few of them have this gilt edge collateral and very few of them want -short loads, for the loans the people in the South and West make must be repaid out of the products of the farm. The World might as well cite the fact that there is an abundance of money in the London banks for those who "have an equivalent to give for it." The money locked up in London does the South and the West about as much good as the money locked up in New York and other Eastern money centers does? The Southern and Western farmer expects to be benefitted by the free coinage of silver because it will in crease the volume of currency, and thus increase prices, and he does not believe in the absurd contention that it will drive gold out of the country and thus decrease the volume of the currency, nor does he believe that the free coinage of silver .will give us 50 cent dollars. As far as driv ing gold out of the country Is con cerned this is a mere delusion, if entertained. Gold will not go out of the country unless there is pre mium enough on it to make its ship ment profitable and then it will go as it has been going, and is now go ing, free coinage or no free coinage. It can't drive gold out of circulation because there is really no gold in actual circulation now. It is hoarded for snecnlation Durposes. the circu lating medium being composed ex clusively of paper and subsidiary silver. There are some other points in this reply which we shall notice to morrow. MINOR MENTION. The revolt of the free silver men at St. Louis will be as nothing com pared with the revolt among the peo ple when they are asked to endorse the job put up there by the money power that controlled that conven tion. If the makers of tfiat plat form had contented themselves with the bimetallic declarations of i892, with the additional pledge that the party if called into power would en deavor to bring about "international agreement, it might have main tained its consistency, but while it is in some respects an echo of the de claration of 1892,. it ignores any reference to the legislation referred to in' that declaration, Commits the party to the gold stand ard, and is hence a clear deDarture from the position of the party four ' years ago, and pre viously, a departure which is solely attributable to the dictation of the money power which was there in force and demonstrated its powerful grip on the leaders of the ' Republican party. The people will understand this pledge to endeavor to secure "international agreement as a mere piece of deception, intended to hum- on? them, iust as the reference to "international agreement," and "suit able legislation" were in the plat form of 1892. We do not think the masses of the people can be success fully fooled a second time with the same old fake, although backed by a "pledge" that not one of the pledgers intended to redeem when they made it.

Raleigh Press Visitor: The va rieties of, grapes, except the Dela ware, are suffering greatly in this section from rot and blight. Some vineyards are ruined. In those where there was early spraying of the vines with b'uestone mixture, and where this spraying has been repeated six or seven times, the grapes are all right. Mr. George Shellem's vine yard is largely damaged. Whiting Bros, say they are told by the buy ers, who are now making their an nual tour, that their grapes are in condition superior to those at South ern Pines. The blight of mildew has attacked many kinds of fruit trees. There are few apples, pears, plums, peaches, or cherries worth mention ing in this section. Even trees in the woods shows the effect of blight to a remarkable degree. Newbern Journal: Mr. .H. E.
