Br "WlXI.IA.flE H. BEBN&RD. . WTLMINQTOH", N. C- Wednesday morning, Nov. 18 INAUGURATING THE CAMPAIGN -The money powers which made such a desperate fight against the free coinage of silver, are not going to be content with their victory for "sound money," as they call it. En couraged by their success, which was beyond their expectations, they have already inaugurated the campaign against the paper money of the Gov ernment. The starter was given a short while ago by the Indianapolis "Sound Money League," which met, resolved to keep up its organization and to labor for the retiring of the Government's paper currency. Another scheme is to return to a hard money basis by retiring the Government paper and issuing no - bill of a less denomination than $10, which has been suggested by spme of the New York money lenders. Secretary Carlisle favors retiring the Greenbacks, as he has done for some time, and it is said that Presi dent Cleveland will In bis next mes sae-e to Con&rress uree that this be done. V Some . of the ' newspapers which so zealously espoused and fought for the gold standard in the past cam Daien are already devotioe them- - selvesto the education of the public on the Importance of this movement as the finishing up of the "sound money" war, without which they contend the-victory will be but par tially won. One of these, and one of the ablest, the New York Journal of Commerce and Commercial Bulletin, has entered zealously upon the work It has published several editorials, from the latest of which we clip the following extract : . "The public sentiment which forced the St. Louis convention to make a de claration for gold, which kept the pre servation of Abe monetary unit to the front during the whole campaign, and which gave Mr. McKinley an enormous majority, -must now be brought to bear uDon congress to compel 11 10 aeai aae nnatelv with the cnrrencv aueition. and to deal with that at Once. There are al ready indications in some quarters of a disDositton to drop tne emoarrassms question of the currency on the pretext that the election of Mr. McKinley has settled that, and to take up the more familiar and congenial task of increas ing the tariff duties, on the ground that the imperative need is lor more reve- nue. Unless this disposition can be de feated most of the fruits of the victory secured November 3d will be lost. "we understand perfectly well that a large majority of the earlier supporters of Mr. McKinley are protectionists, that he was nominated at St. Louis because he was the author of a famouauariS law, and that his party does not intend to be balked of its victory, under tne cir cumstances. It would be useless to ask 1 that it should be. Bat, regarded sim ply, at a question of party politics, this 'does not dispose oi tne wnoie case, anu there is gratifying reason for believing that the President-elect and many of the most influential Republicans know it does not. It is not at all certain that Mr. McKinley would have been elected had not many thousands of Democrats swallowed their objections to protec tion because tney believed that tne in terests of tbe country demanded first of all tbe security of its currency. "We do not. and these sound money """Democrats do not, put this obvious fact iorward as a reason why the party of protection should waive its traditional tariff policy. Bat we do Insist upon this, and we believe the country will in sist up it. that the victorious Republi cans shall not be outdone in patriotism by the sound money Democrats; that as the latter sacrificed party ties and sur rendered political issues to which they are devoutly attached, in order to secure the present safety of the country, so the Republicans... sacrificing no party assoeations. and giving up no. part of their distinctive pro gramme, shall do first that which will secure the financial safety of the country and afterwards make such changes in tbe customs lavs as they are committed to, and tbeir allies the sound money Demo crats are opposed to. A very large body of Democrats have put their country be fore their party to aa extent never before witnessed, except in the presence of arms: now we appeal to the Republicans to do the same thinr and put the coun try before party; they will have time enough to carry out; their party pro gramme after they have taken necessary measures for the common safety. This is an appeal to the victorious Republicans to hold up on the tariff business until they have fixed up the financial question and get the "end less chain" tied up, an appeal which will in all probability meet with about as much favor as tbe appeal of the so-called Democratic organs met with during the campaign when they implored Mr. Hanna and Mr. Mc Kinley to play mum on the tariff question and blow their .trumpets only for sound money. Hanna and McKinley played it shrewdly, blowed on the "sound money" horn loud enough to retain the support of the gold men. of the East and loud enough on the protection horn to re tain the support of the manufactur ers who marched behind Hanna and shelled out their cash to aid in the election of McKinley. 3 They have , no more idea of even temporarily' abandoning the tariff question than they have of surren . dering the victory Hanna won on the 3rd of this month,, a victory for which he shrewdly played the gold men of the East, because he felt that tbeir help . and tbeir - money were necessary to elect his candidate. Mr. McKinley may very properly respond to these appeals if he be disposed to respond, that he stands on the St. Louis platform, and that while he is for sound money there is nothing in that platform which re quires him to echo the recommenda tions of President Cleveland, or Secretary Carlisle, nor to finish up a job that they bad undertaken but were unable to carry out . The St. Louis" platform does not bint at re tiring : the Government notes, which are a creation of Republican states manship. The Indianapolis platform does say something about that, but while Mr. McKinley had the support of most of the men who professed to stand upon the Indianapolis plat form, he did not run upon it and is under no obligation to carry out the declaration of a platform which Us own builders deserted. But the money powernow mainly represented by the "sound money Democrats in the movement against the Government notes, will bring such pressure to bear as it can on the incoming administration to wipe out these notes, for that was a part of the scheme when the big bankers threw themselves ' into the fight against the free coinage of silver. With these out of the way and no provision for free coinage of silver or expansion of the currency, they would be absolute masters of the financial field and could manipulate the volume of the currency as they saw fit, and this is practically what the demand " for the retiring ot the Government notes means. It means the destruction of $470,000,000 of currency without any other substi tute than the national banks would furnish. This is what 'they call solving the financial problem, which has only been more difficult to solve by depart ing from the law and undertaking to keeD ud a eold reserve to redeem notes which under the law are not re deemable in gold.- The -journal from which we make the above, ex tract sees trouble ahead in this, and hence its appeal to the' Republicans to help tie up the endless chain and do away with the necessity of a gold reserve. How much easier that would have been done if tbe law had been adhered to. or were adhered to now, and these notes redeemed In coin when presented for redemption. They have won the victory, but they haven't settled the money ques tion by a good deal. KIBjDK BUKHTI03L England has two rivals for com mercial supremacy, between which she will eventually be consigned to the rear. The United States is one, Russia the other. The United States will in time dominate the commerce on this side of the Atlantic, while Russia will contest for the trade of the far East, which England has for . a t. " 1 a. manv vears touna a ncu narvest field. The potent agency that Rus sia will have at her command, in competition' with England's mer chant marine, will be the trans-Sibe rian railway which will be completed within the next four years. What that will do is set forth in the fol lowing clipped from the San Fran- Cisco Chronicle : "The enormous difference which the trans-Siberian railway is certain to make in the freight and passenger carrying trade of the world may be seen from the announcement that first-class passage will be sold from Moscow to Vladivos tok for $56. secon 4-cIass for $22. The freight rates are to be In proportion. Tbe time required for- the journey, ex tending practically from the Baltic sea to the Pacific ocean, will be nine days and eleven hours for express trains, and twelve days and fifteen hours for hauls of merchandise. "At the present time the trip between the coasts say from London via Suez to Yokohama consumes thirty-eight days. Something like a week may be saved from this account by tOliowiog tbe American or Canadian routes.: From Bremerhaven to shanghai consumes forty-seven days, and from Marseilles to Yokohama via the Meuageries Mart- times line forty day. Taking the mini mum time, thirty-one days, and while it is being covered by ship and car over British routes a Russian freight train can leave Moscow and run to viadivo stock and back again and have about five days' leeway. Regarding, expenses the scale is as much in favor of tbe Russians as the time card. -Tor example, a first clars passage to Shanghai from Bremerhaven costs $390, second class $240. Adding tlO as the Russian steamship fare from Vladivostok to Shanghai and tbe same sum to cover the connection between' Bremerhaven and Moscow, the figures in each instance beiog liberal, and tbe Russians can cut the German-English first-class rate by the sum of $314. The freight rate will be one-fourth tbe.pres ent sea rate. Of course, there can be no competition with Russia under this head, and English trade with the orient will either have to make use -of the Russian transportation facilities or re tire from the field. Even if steamship rates could go down to a cash basis cf rivalry which, of course, would be out of the question tbe Russians would still have the advantage ot providing a daily against a semi-weekly service." -This covers simply the matter of transportation, but another potent factor enters, which England may well view with concern. Russia is not yet what might be called a man ufacturing nation, although she has within the past ten years made con siderable progress as a manufac turer. But the trans-Siberian rail way will not only open up an Im mense territory adapted to the growth of grain, cotton,' &c, but one abounding also in fine timber, coal, iron and other minerals, supplying all the requisites for the successful establishment of numerous indus tries, in addition to which she has her own large population, and the countries of Asia to draw upon for labor. Under these conditions, with rapid and cheap transportation with which England with all her ships cannot compete, what Is to hinder Russia from wresting the. trade of the East from England when she enters the contest with a will? . ' The hollowness of tbe Republican demand for a higher tariff is shown by the figures of our exports which prove that our manufacturers have never so successfully demonstra ted their ability to compete with the manufacturers of other countries as they have under the present tariff,, which the Republican organs pronounce such a dismal fail ure. The following table taken from tbe reports of tbe Treasury Depart ment shows how our exports of man ufactured articles have increased since 1890, and how much larger they are this year than they were any year under the McKinley law: Total Manufactured - exports - - exports Year. (0 months ) (9 months.) 1890 $563 469.545 $113,899,554 1891...... 627 670414 128.754.481 1892;.:... 653.836 620 llt,87.ll 1893...... 687040111 129.998845 1894...... 662 278 557 183.292.880 1895. , . . . . 546.424 859 145 793.884 1896. ..... 610,956 854 - 184 792.443 In the face of such figures as these the Republican organs and cam paign orators talked about "smoke less chimneys" and "idle workmen," for which the Wilson tariff was held responsible, and now they are re joicing at the great revival ' in pros perity, while the same "destroying' tariff is in operation and no prospect of its being replaced by a higher tariff for some time to come.

They Carry Their Knitting or Tatting With Them Wherever They Go ud Work, Work All the Time Tbe Voice of the "Sew Woman" Is Scarcely Ever Beard. German women still seem to cling to the old fashioned mathod, bending to the mas-: online will they have helped to train in "childhood. The new woman is not preva lent in fact, her voice is scarcely beard In the land. In a German paper a few days ago appeared a notloe of a book for wom en, "My House Is My World," with a few words attached. They ran thus: - xne true calling of the woman is in the house, therefore that part of her education should begin very early, even bbiore she tninas ox any other vocation." But with all her training for household oares tbe German woman does not understand now to maae her family, as oomfortuble as does ; tbe American woman. It is true that less de pends upon home life in this country, that external attractions draw women as weu as men away from the home, especially in the evening. There are the cafes, concerts and the opera, as well as social gatherings for the evening hours, and the people come home only to go to bed. It Is not the custom to make evening calls, for if the members of the family do not go out they retire very early. On summer even ings the villas are dark and deserted, or closed early for the night. There are no Sashing JightB or gay young voices. Now and then a sleepy family goes by on its way home from a summer garden, where it had perhaps had supper and had spent tbe evening gossiping with friends and listening to tbe niuelo, for every summer garden must have its orchestra, no matter how small it may be. The fact that people not only go out so much, but also buy all their bread-ready baked, and also much of their meat, makes housekeeping a far lighter matter for the German woman than for her sisters -across the ocean. Bam, roast beef and sausages in 89 varieties ean be bought all ready for tbe table. With all this the German woman Is one of the most intensely domestic on the.faoe of the earth. She is a most faithful wife and mother and decorates her home with handiwork of all kinds some of it being very dreadful. - Embroidery, knitting or crocheting; occupies much if not all her leisure time. ;, At the summer garden con cert one sees rosy cheeked girls and stout matrons sitting about the little tables, drinking beer and plying the needle, even little embrodiery frames being drawn from work bags or pooketa. It 1b the same at tbe seashore at Wornemuende, on tbe Baltic, for example, where few English or Amer icans find their way and where the visitors are typical Germans. We were sailing down the river one day from Rostock to Wornemuende. The boat was crowded with passengers, and we hung over the railing watching the sun Set in a splendor one seldom sees in this country. "It Is perfectly glorious," sighed E. "but do you see that girl over there with her tatting?" -' "yes." i "Well, she hasn't so much as raised her eyes from her work sinoe we left Rostock. All tbe effect that this splendid light and color has had upon her has been to please her because she can see how to make those ugly stitches without effort." "How do you know?" r "Because I'veUbeen watching her, and she's deaf, dumb and blind to every ex ternal thing except that wretched tatting, In the parks, on the promenade, wher ever a woman sits down tor a few minutes. she has some handiwork to occupy her, and little girls go about with knitting bags on their arms, diligently piymg the needles while they walk and talk. Last summer we met a German girl, an heiress, who travels and lives muoh as she pleases, because, except for her chaperon, she Is alone in tho world and controls ber own money. She spent nearly all her leisure knitting great, hideous, coarse gray stockings. We concluded that she must be doing it for tbe poor and commended her charity, but, if you please, they were her winter stockings. "Don't you knit your stockings?" she inquired innocently enough, and when we assured her that wo considered it much cheaper to buy tbem she shook her head and smiled skeptically. ,,: '"She thinks it is just because we are lazy," E. said when we were alone, and then burst out laughing as she tried to conjure up a picture of a party of Aiueri can women seriously engaged in knitting the family stockings. . . "No; life is too short with us. Perhaps the days are longer over here. n Here and there one finds a distaste for all this work, even among the Germans. A certain learned professor, who also had an eye for the good points in the makeup of a woman's beauty, one day commented rather unflatteringly upon the 8lz6of his niece's bands. ' i .''Now, now," she cried indignantly and .hastened to . tell what those hands could -do. '.'They may be too large, but they are useiuJ, she concluded triumphantly. . " Very useful, my dear child. Yes, I ad mit that most willingly, but I wish they .could do lees and the head more," was the unexpected reply. What possible beauty can there be in a coarse, laboriously crocheted or knitted bedspread? It occupies a woman's time for days, if not for weeks. Leipsls Cor. New Xork Tribune. Try Hot Milk. Hot milk for tbe complexion has proved to be of tbe greatest benefit, and many women say they owe an improvement of their complexion to the constant use ot hot milk applied every morning and night to their faces. Here-is what a woman prominent In the literary world, whose complexion Is equal to a young girl's, says: "When l am frightfully fatigued. she said, "from the rush of the life I lead, i gee a gaiion oi mua ana put it in my bath, adding sufficient hot water to cover the body. -1 lie in this mixture for ten minutes and come put feeling thoroughly reiresneu anu witn a new Hie to tbe skin, whloh previous to the bath had a dead look."

The individual who puts certain aay on ner cards and then goes out, regardless of possible callers, is not only guilty of a breach of social etiquette, but she is likely to see her social populari ty wane. If an "at home" day exists, it must stand before even the most tempt ing engagements. Nothing but Illness, mourning or absence from home can ex cuse a hostess from not receiving on h "at home" day. Philadelphia Times. Beenlt of Depilatories. One often sees women whose faces, usually the upper Hp, are disfigured by a growth of stiff, thick hairs. ; This is almost . invariably tbe result of trifling with some depilatory whloh Is de clared to remove safely and easily any down originally upon the skin. Tootnuoh care cannot be taken with the complexion. and any such disfigurement should never be meddled with, but be taken to some re liable specialist for treatment. Many a time has the writer heard wom en tell of some ointment or other applica tion whloh they were using for this downy growth, and never onoe has it failed that. In tbe end, they made it far worse than at first. i i Electricity seems to be the only safe and sure way of removing these superfluous hairs without the chance of their coming back heavier than before.
