"You tell us the great cities are in favor of the gold standard. Burn down your great cities and leave your farms, and your cities "will grow up again. But destroy our farms and the grass will grow in every city of, the Union." From Wm. J. Bryan's speech before Demo cratic National Convention. "I am forMcKinley, Russell and Gold," says Oscar J. Spears, one of the. Republican candidates for Elector-at Large. ggp' "I desire to meet Mr. Russell on the hustings of North Carolina. I want the people to hear us 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 what his politics, is given every priv ilege granted him by the Constitution of North Carolina." Cyrus B. Wat son, Democratic candidate for Governor. THEY DON'T SHOW GOOD 5EBSE. The men who have been leading in the struggle for the perpetuation of the single" gold standard in this couatry have never, shown good( sense in their methods of meeting the advocates of free silver nor in discussing that question. They have been largely instrumental by their peculiar methods ia contribut ing to the growth and spread of the free silver sentiment as its advo cates have by the arguments they advanced in its advocacy. In the early stages of the- contention the gold men sneered at the advocates "of free silver, characterizing them as cranks, and : free silverism as . a "craze' and as the number of advo cates increased and the 'craze" gathered strength and spread from State to State they could still see nothing but the crank or the dema agogue leading the rapidly increas ing army of deluded "simpletons" and "dupes;" The mistake they made was in faHing to realize that in the front of this free stiver agitation were some of the brainiest, most trusted and patriotic men in this country and in the rank and file millions of the most earnest and honest people who could not be diverteditrom a ciuse in which they believed by arrogant dictation nor by senseless ridicule or sneers. The "sound money" mis sionaries who were finally sent out to try to cure the "craze" came back after their missionary tours to re port that the craze was either "dead" or dying, but in spite of the frequent deaths it is here yet with a very fair prospect of capturing the country and putting its candidate for the Presidency in the White House. But in spite of the object lesson they have bad the goldites have not profited by it, for they still fail to realize the depth and earnestness of this movement, and its respectabil ity. If they did they would not refer to one of the most thoroughly Demo cratic and patriotic conventions that ever assembled within the bounda ries of this republic as an assemblage of "repudiators' -i'communists". and "anarchists," forgetting the fact that full-grown men who have an abiding faith in the justness -of the cause they advocate cannot be driven from it by the use of offensive epithets which have nothing behind them to justify their employment. It would be a sad commentary on this country if the thousands, of people who have flocked to greet Wm. J. Bryan at -every station, on his journey from his Western home to New York city, were either repudiators, communists or anarchists, or sympathizers with or the dupes of repudiators, com munists and anarchists. -These epi thet hurlers do not seem to realize this bat, we repeat, it would be a sad commentary on this country if that weretrue. " -..And .they fail again when they conciuae mat mese multitudes of people who are demanding a return ui' wc uiuuci.aijr.sjrai.cui ot OUT fathers are simpletons' who can be bluffed by the bulldozing methods now being resorted to Dy some or deluded by the transparent tricks devised to ' make them believe that the success of free silver wiir bring disaster upon the country and ruin to them. There is cowardice and brutality as well as trickery ia all this. , ;;'";v' The man or company who own a big ironmine which ; employs thou sands of men may close the mine and throw thousands of men out of employment and let ' them starve, to give them in advance 'an "object lesson" as to the effect of free silver. The mine owners can better afford to let the mine stand idle for six months and lose their dividends for that time than thepoor, dependent workmen caa to go idle. But it is a brutal, cold-blooded "object lesson " all the same. ?This was a trick often resorted to when protection was in danger and the .operators of pro tected industries found it necessary to give their employes "object les sons" and force them to vote for protection. Then they closed some of the manufactories,- and locked their doors until after the election, just as some of the anti silver men are doing n,ow. That was brutal. , '" Other companies which' employ thousands of men may send circulars to their employes, as has recently been done on the New York Central road, advising them to form "sound money clubs" and whoop it up for the sound money candidates. This is not "intimidation," but the em ployes know what it means; and it is brutal, all the same. Life insurance companies may think they are doing, a very smart thing when they send out notices to people who insure with them that if free silver triumphs they cannot pay more than sixty cents on the , dollar of the policies held, but it is a scurvy trick and shows that the men who manage such concerns are not honest enough to occupy any re sponsible position which involves the handling of money. The fact is the opponents of free silver are playing the bulldozing, hoodwinking, humbugging pro gramme so extensively that they must have come to the conclusion that the American people are a na tion of imbeciles to be fooled with such transparent trickery. They will find before they are done with it that the Americrn people will resent and rebuke that kind of thing and that it will prove a boomerang of tremendous power and proportions. MIHOK MEBTIOff. Cotton manufacturing is making great progress fa Japan, China and India. In the last the number of mills has increased from 47 in 1876, to 148 in 1895, and the looms from 9,139 to 35,338, the spindles from 1,-100,112-to 2,809,929. The increase in China has been quite as great for some years and the increase in Japan even greater. These are facts. It is admitted that the rapid growth of the industry in these countries is due to the cheap labor, and also to the fact that silver is the money of these countries, where it retains the same purchasing and paying power that it did years ago, for which reason man ufacturers caa make and undersell the manufacturers in gold-standard countries where the purchasing power of gold has gone up and the purchasing power of silver gone down. It is a significant fact that most of the mills in China and in In dia have been established by manu facturers and capitalists from Eng land who found that this was the Only way they could hold the trade they had In these countries' jin com petion with the factories established there and they consequently built plants just as some of the ftew Eng land manufacturers have done in the South, where labor and the raw ma terial are cheaper than they are in the North. The adherents of Mr. McKinle; see but two ways to es cape the effects of what they call this "cheap labor" competition; one is to pay American labor oh the same depreciated silver basis, the other to save the American market for American labor by at its present wages by a protective tariff. They assume that the free coinage ot sil ver would cut wages down instead of putting them up as nearly all the gold advocates who do not talk. for more protection are candid enough to admit it will eventually do, and they forget that the adoption of the double standard would deprive those - Eastern countries of the advantage they now have over us, for they would then be compelled to pay $1.29 an ounce for the silver which they now buy for about 60 cents. If there were any thing in the protection scheme then we would have to double the protec tion, or more, to overcome the dif- lerence in wages in those countries and in this. But this Drotection . scheme is a fraud, because we do not import cotton goods from any of those1 countries, and they export very! little, if any, the home population consuming more than the present or,! for some years to come, prospective capacity of their mills.- We have nothing to fear from that competi tion, but what we should dor is adopt a monetary system which will enable us to extend our trade' into those countries. Announcements oPbank failures' are becoming somewhat frequent, al- though not yet sufficiently so to be alarming. A While.there is apparently no more- reason bow whv thr should be bank failures than there was three or six months ' ago. ft Is not surprising that there should be some and would not be surprising if there should be more, -for when one bank goes down fit generally pulls one 'or mare with It The explana tions so far show that, . the failures announced are not- the ; result of a panicky feeling, nor of runs on the banks, but generally the t result of local conditions which have no di rect connection with the condition of the country generally. Do ubtless the slumps in the stock market have had something to do with some of them, and these were the result of manipulations based on the political conditions, being sometimes the out come of conspiracies (as proven by the New York Journal of Commerce and Commercial Bulletin) to depreci ate stocks for the purpose of buying them up when they had touched the bottom. But as we have remarked, these failures are not surprising and more would not be, because the trend of the talk for some time of the gold organs and spokesmen has been to anticipate financial collapses and disaster, as a result of the suc cess of tree coinage, thus tending to shake the confidence of the people in the banks, and make them more timid about; depositing and more disposed to take their deposits out. Of course they know this, but they seem to think that as a kind of strategy that will pay by forcing a reaction in the sentiment for free silver, lhey are very .much mistaken in this for the very worst thing that could happen for them would be a crash of banks, for which they would be justly held responsible, and which would make the election of Bryan and Sewall as sure as anything can be which has not happened. -Jf CURRENT COMMENT. It is not at all strange that the threats of the Eastern insurance companies should produce retail torv measures on the part of the Western people.

Scarcity of fruit is the cause. : Last year there were over 300 brandy distilleries in Wilkes county ; alone.- This vear there are less than 25 bonned up to date, and with the small fruit crop these will make less than 1,000 gal lons of brandy.- Revenue officers visited a number of bonded distil leries in that county a few days ago, as a result ot which a number of seizures are being made upon the re ports made by the officers.

Concord Standard; Some time ago a syndicate, consisting of Messrs, M. M. Ritchie, George (x.

The mine had not been operated for sev eral. years until the recent pur chase, and for several i weeks by new company bad worked with out profit, until Monday, when a rich vein was struck. The ore is said to be the richest ever produced from a Cabarras mine and that nug gets as large as ordinary marbles were' found in great numbers. The find has created a little sensation and excitement in gold mining circles, Several thousand dollars worth of ore has been taken out within the past twenty-four hours, with pros pectsof an enormous supply yet im bedded m the vein. Carthage Blade-. Dr. Gilbert McLeod, coroner, was called to the western end of Moore county one day last week to hold an inquest over the body of Rufus Hackney, colored. From the evidence before the jury of inquest it developed that Hackney and another negro named Annanias Harrington were paying court to the same dusky damsel. Hackney was going along the road with the lady la dispute, when Har rington put in an appearance. It appeared that their lady-love had robbed a negro shanty of $25, which money was in Hackney s pos session, and tnat she demanded it ot him, but he refused to give it up, whereupon Harrington interfered in defense of the girl, and threatened to cut Hackney's heart out unless he gave the girl the money. Hackney still refused and Harrington drew his knife and proceeded to put his threat into execution. He cut Hackney up in a terrible manner and there was evidently murder in his black heart. as be pursued him down into the woods and cut him again and again. The girl, who was badly frighteneJ, ran off and notified some men of the occurrence,, and when they arrived on the scene, Harrington was met coming out ot the woods and re marked that he "had cut Hackney's dn heart out." He then left for parts unknown and has not been ap prehended. The jury after hearing all the evidence rendered a verdict to the effect that Hackney came to bis death from knife wounds inflicted by Harrington. APPOINTMENTS WILMINGTON DIS- TRICT. W. S. Bone.

The Anglo-Saxon Race Has Taken It TJp Only In the lost Half Century "But although irrigation is both ancient and universal tho Anglo-Saxon never dealt with it in a liifge way until the last half century, when he found it to be the Indis pensable condition of settlement in large portions of western America, Australia and South Africa. Through all the cen turies of the past the art has been tho ex clusive possession of Indian, Latin and Monogolian races. Its earliest modern traces in this country are found in the small gardens of the mission fathers of southern California. They brought the method from Mexico and taught it to the Indians. But the real cradle ot American irrigation as a practicable industry is Utah. A treasured historical painting in Salt Lake City shows the pioneers of 1847 in the act of turning the wcters of the mountain . stream now known as City creek upon the alkaline desert. This pic ture commemorates the opening scene in tho new industrial drama of arid America. In the bauds of tho Indians and Mexi cans or the southwest irrigation was a stagnant art, but the white population has studied it with the seme enthusiasm which it bestows upon electricity and new mining processes. The lower races merely knew that if crops were expected to grow on dry land they must be artificially wa tered. They proceeded to pour on the wa ter by the rudest method. The Anglo Saxon demanded to know why crops re quired water and how and when it could be best supplied to meet their diverse needs. He has sought this knowledge through the medium of agricultural col legos, experimental farms and neighbor hood associations. Ho has thus approach ed by gradual steps truo scientific mo-nods, which are producing results unknown before in any part of tho world. William E. Smytbe in Century. Blades of Toledo. The Spanish towns were celebrated throughout the civilized world for the ex cellence of their swords, and among them all Toledo stood unrivaled for the temper of her steel. The Toledo blade, famous in song and story, was so keen, so flexible and withal so strong that its' fineness be came proverbial. When the Moors over ran Spain in tho ninth century, they were already masters of many of the arts, and especially were they adepts in the working of metal. Their swords were highly val ued for their delicate temper, and their special decoration which we still coll damascening was also justly prized. It was from these conquerors that the Span- lards learned much of their skill in forging and tempering steel. And tnat the completeness or tne no blest weapon men ever made should not be marred by the lack of any element, natural or artificial, the fairy godmother, Nature, contributed one more gift; On the banks of the Tagus there ia an abun dance of fine sand. In the process o forg ing the metal is taken white hot from tho furnaoe and Is subjected to a cooling process. It was to the peculiar properties of this white Tagus sand, in which the cooling blade was buried, that the Toledo swords owed their unequaled hardness and great flexibility.

Even her colored population belongs to the advanced guard of thinkers. ) Aunty Mike is a liv ing proof of what enterprise and pluck will do. In a remote corner of the city in a little one story shanty she oarrles on suc cessful business and rents lodgings 'under strict rules. Her especial luck in securing a clienteile comes from the fact that the sheets are religiously kept clean, and from her absolute refusal to harbor tramps or "bums." Her business is done for cosh only, although 6he says that almoct every' night "finely dressed white gentlemen come and offer -a silk necktie or a pair of gloves." The rule is strict, however, and no such are admitted.
