SAVE YOUR- STATS. The financial issue which Is now the issue in our national politics and is engaging the attention of the people of this country from ocean to ocean, from the Canada line to the Rio Grande, as it never did before, is one of .vast importance and de mands the most serious thought and consideration. In common with the people of other States the people of North Carolina have taken a deep in terest in itas it is natural they should for they In common with the people of other States are vitally .interested in having it settled and rightly set tled. But there is another question, which has not been so much dis cussed, in which ? they are - quite as vitally interested as they are , In that - and this is, who is' to govern. North Caro lina and direct her destinies for weal or for woe? This is a question which comes home to us all, whatever our opinions may be as to the gold dol lar, the silver dollar, the single stand ard or the double standard. ;'. We may differ, and honestly differ as to that, but among honest,' true North Caro linians there can and should be no difference as tolthe party and the men who should rule North Carolina. This is a year in J which ballots are mighty, tor they are vested with a mighty responsibility. As they are cast so shall it be determined who shall be our Governor for the next four years, who shall fee our Judges, who shall be our law makers, .who shall represent us in. Congress, who shall succeed Pritcbard Via the U. S. Senate, who shall be county officers, who shall . be our. ' magistrates, so that this election has a wide scope and reaches all the way from the little township, through the various State offices, to Congress and the Presidency. This lis or should be enough to stimulate the patriot ism of every citizen who values his franchise as a freeman should. The opponents of the Democratic party bave picked up hope and cour age this year from the fact that by combinations : two' years ago and from apathy in the Democratic ranks then they woo a victory and got partial possession of the State. Haying, failed, to effect a combine this year each of the opponents de cided to give us battle, trusting to complications to win. We have the advantage this year of fighting a di vided instead of a combined opposi tion, and we have the advantage, too; of having a party better united, more zealous and aggressive than It was. two years ago, when thousands of disappointed and indifferent, if not disgusted Democrats remained away from the polls and let the elec tion go by default. . It would be a sad reflection upon the intelligence and patriotism of the conservative people of this State to suppose for a moment that they dp not fully comprehend the impor tance of this election and the neces sity of active effort to save the State from the calamity of falling into the hands of either of the opposition par ties which arej struggling for it and are not united now as they were two years ago because the Republi cans, who useatne ropuiists men and betrayed them since, insisted, on having" the. better part of the spoii As it is there has been bargaining and bartering in many 'counties be tween the Republicans and Populists who hope thus to control the Legls ture and county offices,, and 'control the election lot Senator Pritchard's successor. ' v- -v-r:' ' " . If they should succeed ; by virtue of these ; combinations in counties to secure control of the Legislature, and the - Republicans elect their candidate "for Governor, which would be a dire calamity in itself, the Republicans would, have control of the State machinery, and as far as the Populists are concerned would be masters of the situation and would plan to hold possession of the oower thev : won. without further complicating entanglements with their Populist allies. With men who - are as thoroughly : unscrupulous as the leaders of the Republican party in this State are we know what this means, and we know that it would mean a great deal of trial, tribula- lation, humiliation, unrest and op presslon for North Carolina. They would go just as far in their efforts to. retain the power ; they won as their courage and audacity dare go, for they would be under no restraint as ta public opinion, which they never respect when It runs counter to their schemes or ambition. X' If McKinley should be elected they will have the co-operation of the power at Washington, and will have its moral and material support in strengthening their lines, and in carrying out their schemes to retain their grip on the State. With Re publicans filling the postoffices, in ternal revenue offices and other Fed eral offices in theJtatetBey wilf 1 have zealous co-laborers in strength ening the Republican party for fu ture contests, so that when we bat tle to save the State this time it is not to save it for this time only, but for the years to come and save it we must. ' HIBOK MXSTlOff. There is a good deal of specula tion and .prediction as to the situa tion In Ohio and Indiana, and some of the other central Western .States, the Republican figurers claiming that McKinley will carry them and the Democrats that Bryan will; but one thing is quite apparent and. that is that the Republicans are basing their calculations very much on the votes In the to wns and cities where they are scheming to control the work men in shops and factories. In view of the counter claims the' following extracts from a letter of J. H. Hyl sop, a Republican canvasser In Ohio and Indiana, which appeared in the Indianapolis News, a Republican paper," is" interesting as throwing some light on the situation in those S tates.T He' say sv V : ?" ;f ' ;--T7 ; "I was astonished to find to ranch dev. testation of Mr. McKinley. Old Repub licans, had seen through the follies ot protection, and they condemned his ad ministration Jn . Ohio as the, worst the State ever had. ' They have q faith in him. and would not sopport him on a free silver platform. " I do not pretend; to say that this feeling is general among. the Republicans in unto wno are going for free silver, but I did not talk with one of them who wis not first Influ enced br this, view and adopted other, arguments - as a defensor -Some- even admitted . that. . free silver would -leave them - jusbi where they are, but they are tired of supporting a party that did nothing- and -promised everything. They took a maliciOM de light In showing tbeir independence after a lifelong slavery to party. Some even admitted that free silver might io no good, but.thev were not, going to support a fraud or a weakling in the Presidential chair, it was impossible to answer the accusations against the Re publican candidate, for his lack of policy or opinions. I . never witnessed, socb contempt' for a candidate, and" nothing. will remove it except definite prooi that free silver is worse than weakness and, a consuming ambition to be President" Speaking of the. extent to which theJretsilyeridelusiQn!lhaiBpread. among the farmers,; he says;., ... - I "The' nniversal crv was for better prices for farm prod nets, and the coinaV dence between the -demonetisation of silver and the. faU in prices is one act that has seized their minds and no di- lodgment of it hi possible Iby ny ordi- ary argument. .'The oncolie mind, u iKcaliarl snsceotible - to argntaeots based, upon coincidences, and lt.M not easy to demonstrate me posi noc lauacy to them.- The oest uinstranoa or cms the tenacity with which thousands, of them cling 10 the influence Df the moon. On potato crops, lences, nam ua qobio onfa. and various other matters of im portance. They plant their potatoes and certain other crops at .a certain time, of the moon and no argument can convince them of the folly of their notion, which comes down from the earliest periods of human historv. When people of this kind are seized with an Idea like Jree till ver nothing but Its consequences swfll ever move them." i This isn't putting a very, high esti- mate on the intelligence of the farm ers of those States, which bave been boasting of their fine common school system, the beneficent effects of Re publican rule- and all that sort of thing, but It is about the average es timate that the gold standard men put upon the Intelligence of the farmers of this country, who are not competent, according to their no tions, to vote' upon questions involv ing dollars, which these gold stand ard people seem to think they alone understand and they alone ought to settle to suit themselves. There are very few, if any, of the advocates of the gold standard in this country who do not profess to be bimetallism, and anxious for bi metallism, for the free coinage and largest use of silver provided we can have "international agreement, that is an agreement by which the lead ing gold standard nations of Europe will consent to the coinage of silver. They say this while they realize the tact that no such agreement Is prac ticable without the assent of Eng land, and that there is no likelihood of England assenting' because Eng' land's position on the money ques tion is dictated by the money com bines just as our financial policies for thirty years have r been die tated .and shaped by the money power in this country. Hence It is nonsense to talk about waiting for "international agreement" ; before this country takes action on the coinage of silver. Hon. Benjamin Butterworth, for several terms a Re publican member of Congress from Cincinnati, is now supporting Mc Kinley, as the result probably of a conference with that gentleman at Canton not long ago. Mr. Butter- worth doesn't believe much in the "International agreement" fake, for as late as last April he wrote to Senator Teller a letter which was read by the Senator in the course of a speech made in the Senate, from which the following is an extract 1 "Is it not follv to sod xse that the capitalists of England and they are the capitalists ot the world will oe easily oetsuaded to aeree or consent to bi metallism? Why should they ? How is it to their interest to do so. while we consent to make it to their advantage to refuse? They bave doubled tbevalae of their credits fey demonetizing silver, and thus in effect doubled the interest received by them. : i - "The United States blundered into the trap and within year beggared a million of her citissns. and If we adhere to the blunder wilt beggar 5,000 000 more, and double the burden of every debtor and burden bearer in the land. If it be said the United States cannot act alone the answer is, conditions are such that she mutt give notice that she will act with England if the latter con sents; otherwise she will act alone. If Benjamin Butterworth were a consistent, honest man, instead of a mere time serving,Tsachlne ruled par- tisanahe would be supporting Wm. instead of Wm. McKinley, for this is precisely what the platform on which Mr. Bryan stands does, it serves notice that the United States "will act alone." CURRENT COMMENT. Mr. Hanna is a wonderful campaigner in one respect. He is busily engaged in rescuing States which be has all along asserted were in no danger. New York Journal, Dent. There is a vast difference be tween the speeches Tom Reed made In Maine and those made at Canton Friday by McKinley, Thurston and Cullotn. A Tom Reed gold standard speech would not have been at home at Canton. Washington Post, Ind. Some people wonder why the Indianapolis Convention nominated such old candidates. The reason is plain.

We might have stood it all right, but we ooulda't get anything to drink. So we inquir ed how far it was to the next town. We were delighted ta find that Car lisle was only a mile farther. That was just like having drinks sent up to your, room, L and Pryde and I struck out down the traok for the town. " "We walked down the main street and then up and down all the others and never a plaoe did we see where a man could get a drink. Finally we inquired of a citizen if there was a drop of liquor sold in the town. The man looked uneasy and said, 'Not since the local option law went into effect. Then "we tumbled. - After walking a mile we had struokadry town. - There wasn't even any ioe water.

The day after local option carried In Carlisle the town well went dry out of sympathy. We were in despair, when we met a friend. ' He opened our eyes by tell ing us that we had been recognized The story had immediately gone around the town that some Memphis policemen had been hired to come to Carlisle and run out the blind tigers. Ten minutes after we struck the town every blind tiger in the plaoe was closed as tight as your fist, and the proprietors had all left the coun try. - - ' ;' ' " ' . 'Our friend said that while we were tapping on doors and looking into stairways some of the good oiti zens of the town were quaking in tbeir shoes. However he toia us that he would put ua on to some thing. He directed ua to a little frame house in an isolated part of the town and told ua if we would work the thing right we could get a drink there in fact. . several of them, . ; "- ' "We Joyously started for the little house and bolted in. There was only one room so far as we could see. In the center was a table. On the table was a jug, a bowl of sugar, a pitcher of water and several glasses. Pryde and I walked right up and were just going to pour out a few fingers when right before our eyes that jug began to soar aloft 'Grab Itr I hollered to Pryde, but it was too late. - From the way the jug hung in the air I thought it must have a string tied to the handle. In a second it was out of Bight" "WelL? put In the reporter, "the pitoher of water was still, there, wasn't it?"

This . time I dis tinctly saw the string tied to the handle. We poured out our stuff and were so thirsty that we did not no tice half how bad it was. - The rest of the story is abort. Every time we wanted some more we laid - down a quarter , and . hit the jug. After awhile we thought we and the jug were good friends, and Pryde sug gested that we try and see if we couldn't work it without putting up a quarter, just for the fun of the thing. We voted down that sobeme. however, for we were afraid the jug might get mad next time and not come back.
