But destroy our farms and the grass will grow in every city of the Union." From Wm. J. Bryan's speech before Demor cratic National Convention. "I am for McKinley, Rnssell and Gold," says Oscar J. Spears, one of the Republican candidates for Elector-at-Large. : WW "I desire to meet Mr Russell on tbe hustings of North Carolina. I want the people to hear as and de cide between me and what I repre sent, and what I think he represents. With their decision I shall be con tent. If elected Governor of your State, I shall see that every man, no matter what his station in life or whit his politics, is given every priv ilege granted him by the Constitution of North Carolina." Cyrus B. Wat son. Democratic candidate for Governor. A MISTAKEN VIEW There are few men who are not governed directly or indirectly by selfishness in their political views, that is they support or oppose this or that measure because its adoption or rejection "will be beneficial to them. It is only when this is Car-; ried to the extent of disregarding the pabiic good in the desire to promote the interest of the individual that it becomes reprehensible. That is sub ordinating patriotism to selfishness, and converting the ballot into an in strument for private gain Instead of for the public good, as it should be. ! When the younger Pitt carried through the English Parliament the measure for the demonetization1 of silver, his father exclaimed, "My son, you have doubled my wealth, but you have rained yoar country." When John Sherman and the other agents of the money power voted in the Congress of the United States to demonetize silver they doubled the wealtn of the men they represented and acted for, but they ruined their country. j There are in this country, at this time, a great many men who believe that'the free and unlimited coinage of silver will prove disastrous to the country. They have been persuaded by what they have read and heard to believe this and they are honest in the belief. There are others who are'employed by corporations of vaj rious kinds which believe, that the free and unlimited coini age of silver would be raj lnous to them, and the men em i ployed by them and whose interest are more or less identified with thenj ; are opposed to the free coinage of silver to protect their employers and at the same time protect themselves. This is natural, entertaining the be lief they do, if they are honest in itj, It is selfishness, which looks at the interest of employers and them selves, and some of them freely ac knowledge that, but they take it foi: granted that the free coinage of silj. ver would ruin the corporations which employ them and would there fore ruin them. They never stop to consider and ask themselves whethef they may not be mistaken, and whether the free coinage of silver might not be a benefit to these cor porations instead of an fojary. i We remember how for twenty-five years or more the employes in the protected manufactories were taught that a high protective tariff was essential to their prosperity and how they were appealed to year after year not only to vote to maintain it, bat to make it higher. It got to be so that for a workman in those in dustries to doubt that was consid eidered the next thing, to ' treason5, disloyalty to his employer ' and a banding with his enemies. , The same line of argument is now used by the representatives of corpora tions employing people and based on ; the assumption that the perpetuation of tbe gold standard is essential to the prosperity of these corporations as the perpetuation ot the high protec tive tariff was to the manufacturers. Experience under a reduced tariff has demonstrated the groundless- ness of the nrst contermon, aim c i perlence wiU demonstrate, if the op. --.!.Ki o-nf-M wrnnnH-1 lessness of the second . Take the railroads for illustration. There are few if any in this country which are not more or less in debt, some of them very heavily so. Much of this debt, the interest and prin cipal of which is payable in gold, is due abroad. They believe tnai h f ree cotnage of sliver triumphs gold will go to a p.eminm, we will be re duced to a silver basis,and they would be unable to raise the gold to meet their obligations.as they ma tured.; .There are two assumptions in this which are taken for granted on the strength of the mere asser tions of the money lenders, whose imaginary interest , it is to maintain the gold standard. ; But' there isn't the remotest probability of this country going on a silver basis, and not the remotest probability of gold going to a high premium and re maining there for any length of time. This may be the case at first, when speculators will take advantage of the alarms they have created, just as tbey did in 1878, when they pre dicted calamities equally as direful as any they predict now, but this will be only temporary and the equi librium will soon be restored. Within the past few jrears nearly one-half the railroad mileage of this country has gone into the hands of receivers. There was no free coin age at the bottom of that, for the gold standard prevailed and prevails now, but all this mileage, embracing some of the finest and currently sup posed to be most solvent systems in the country, went into the hands of creditors, because they were unable to meet their obligations. Could they have fared worse under free silver ? They would not have fared worse, but better. Railroads are common carriers. They find work in serving the pub lic. When the public can't give them sufficient employment they go idle. They cannot prosper, unless the people who employ them pros per. Much of their work, the most of it, is hauling the products of the farm to market and hauling back such things as the farmers desire and would buy if they had the money to buy. If prices are low the farmer ssnds less to market than he would if they were high, and he buys only what he is compelled to bay. Thus the railroad is injured both in the going and in the coming, and its revenues are reduced, sometimes to such an extent as to prove ruinous, as was the case with these, which, as stated above, fell into the hands of receivers. It is generally admitted even by the gold standard advocates that the' free coinage of silver will increase the price of farm products, thus stimu late production, and thus give the railroads more work, the very thing they need to help them along. The' increased traffic, with its correspond ing increase In revenues would much more than offset any real or imagi nary advance in the value of gold, and they would be much better able to meet their obligations then than they are now, under the trade-crippling gold standard. The roads would be benefitted and so would every one employed by them, v MHOS MEHTIOJf. : We clip the following from the Philadelphia Ledger, a gold standard paper: Populists and silver men need to re member one thing: Whether or not their theories are correct and whether or not the adoption of a silver policy by the country would be followed by all the blessings they predict, its first result would be the inauguration of a disas trous panic It would frighten capital, which ii always timid, and it would lock itself up. nor could they coax it from its retirement until they had proved to it that it had nothing to be alarmed about. Meanwhile they would have to get along without its powerful aid. Capital is timid, it, is liable to get scared and very frequently by bogies of its own creation. But this is an old song, so old that it has become monotnous. There never was ; a proposition made for financial re form, that they - didn't sing it In chorus. Don't scare capital, if you do the frightened thing will run into a hole and pull the hole in after it. They sang it on the tariff for twenty-five years or more, , especially In the South where they warned us against supporting tariff reform because that would scare capital off and we couldn't get it to take any stock in Southern development or in dustries. They sang it in 1878, when the proposition was up for the free coinage of stiver, and they sang it again in 1893 as one of the argu ments for the repeal of the ''cow ardly makeshift." So it goes. The people must make no move for finan cial reform without: consulting capi tal and letting it fix up the plan , on which it is to be done. Capital is all right and is entitled to due consider ation, but tbe people who furnish the labor and the products which . give occupation and value to capital are also entitled to consideration. j Statistics are not always reliable for they are very .often tampered with by interested parties to make them support a contention or a theory. But the presumption is thai the statistics sent out by the Govern menf are honest and practically cor rect. The figures furnished bv these wilf be some ' of the toughest ob stacles that the 'supporters of Mc Kinley, who are demanding more protection for the manufacturers, will run up against. The following table, which we clip f torn: the Wash- mswu wiiwU-v. .

When they go on the stump. to clamor, for protection how are they going to answer fig ures like these? CURRENT COMMENT. Tom Reed took occasion in his firsc campaign speech to make clear two important facts which are anything bat pleasing to the McKin leyites. He declares the financial question to be the issue, and he ad mits that Republican chances are not what they were two months ago. Ntw York Journal, Dem. - . "Two months ago no man of any standing would have risked his reputation as a prophet bv hinting the slightest doubt of Republican success," said Speaker Reed in his opening speech last Wednesday. It may be remembered that two months ago the; Republican party -had not held its convention and nominated an Ohioan instead of a Maine man. New York World (gold), Dem. No Democrat in Florida can reasonably find fault with ex-Gov ernor Bloxham's letter of acceptance.

The crop was two weeks earlier than usual in developing and it is cor respondingly early in closing. The season is not near so profitable to the growers as it was last season, but the grape crop last year was unusually large and this season it was short. Mr. Bilyeu tells us that his ship ments this season are about halt as large as those heretofore. Thj grapes brought from $1.75 to $2 in Northern markets. Last year grapes were sold as high as $4.00.

Japanese Carring:. Japanese art is supreme in wood and ivory carving. Sir Edwin Ar nold declares, in "Seas and Lands," there is nothing known to him ini Europe that comes near what Japa nese workmen can achieve. A speci men of ivory carving was shown to him, which represented a bag of rice with two or three dozen rata in and upon it. , Every rat ' was as individual in character, position and action as if a special portrait had been taken of him, and the web of the bag, the glistening grains of rice and the sleek fur of the rodents could not have been better expressed in paint ing.

Wood Palp Hollowware. i Wood pulp hollowware is made in molds of any desired shape readily opened and 'the moisture is driven out by compressed air through fine netting,! the mesh holding the pulp, but permit ting the water to escape. After the pulp: is shaped, either in to- inclosed hollow-; ware or other decorative articles, it is treated chemically so as to harden and toughen the pulp, i By a special treat ment it is given the appearance of chi na, having also the valuable properties of resisting acids, oils, etc. , which makes it adapted to oil cans, pickle packages and similar articles. The glaz ed hollowware is intended to take the place of glass or tin for canned goods and for vases, jardinieres and other or-: namental articles in imitation of earth enware, pottery and china. Suoh arti-i cles made of wood pulp will not chip or crack. They can be dropped with im punity and will stand considerable more usage than articles of other ; materials.

A billiard table can be built in 24 hours if carte blanche is given to the manufacturer, but he prefers to have time to get 'the rjeht effects from one month to six. Thwood needs to be sea,' soned for a period of nearly seven years. Rich, deep Spanish mahogany is - used, pollard oak, ebony and satin wood. Tables are not always covered in green. Blue is sometimes used and a pure olive green. The late Prince Leo pold was the first to make use of the latter color, and olive green is known today in the billiard world as Prince Leopold's color. j ; ' The balls must be well seasoned be fore they are used for play. Manufac turers have incubators in which to store them that they may undergo the drying process. Some incubators will hold fully 8,000 balls. When they are first made, they are "green." Solid ivory is the only satisfactory material of which to make them ; "artificial balls" (those made of composition) are much heavier and do not wear well. English makers, to give the red balls a perfect color, steep them, in a decoction that is some times described as tbe "guardsman's bath. " This is extracted from the old coats of . Tommy Atkins, and for bil liard balls it is the finest scarlet dye known. New York World. . j A Brave Chinese Officer. .

He was first lieutenant of the Peiyang cruiser Tsi Ynen, having succeeded the late Shen Shou Ch'ang, another returned Ameri can student, who was killed while com manding the Tsi-Yuen in the first naval action of the late war at the mouth of tbe Yashan river, Korea, July 25, 1894, owing to the cowardice of his subse quently decapitated captain, Fong Peh- Kien. During the fighting at Wei-Hai-Wei Lieutenant Huang Tsu-Lien was badly wounded and was therefore ad vised to leave his ship and go to Che fu for treatment This he resolutely refused to do, declaring that "his duty to the emperor demanded his remaining at his post." After having had his wounds hastily dressed, the late lieu tenant went on with his duties on board, although be had to be supported by an attendant in doing so. Shortly afterward a shot struck his thigh, but he still refused to retire, remaining with his guns. A few minutes after ward a shell from the enemy's batteries almost annihilated the gallant officer.

First, of -behavior at bojie. (children must al ways bow on returning homo ; , they must never be covered iu tho house ; they must not sit down without permis sion ; they must . never address their parents without a title of respect, as sir or madam ; they mast not approach their parents or elders without a bow. Next, Of behavior at table. They must not sit down till they are bidden, nor till grace is said, nor must tbey ask for anything, or help themselves, or speak at table, or look at others eating. Thirdly, of be havior in company. They must enter the room with a bow ; they must not speak till they are spoken to ; they are not to cross their legs or sit with their knees' wide ; thoy are not to laugh loud, but tiileutly smile; they are not to point or boast or to interrupt. Imagine an Amorican youth of to day "silently smiling" if anything struck him as being fuuny and think of our inf ant terribies waiting until they are spoken to before tbey address their eldors. It is just as well that the good old author of this book is dead; be would Le made so dreadfully unhappy by this century's children. Chicago Post - ' ; . Two Lives Saved.
