Yesterday we made some extracts from that remarkable and unique speech delivered by Orator Hanna in Chicago last Tuesday.- In that speech, among other astonishing ut terances, he declared that he didn't believe there was a Trust in the United States. The sentence com plete reads thus: "I don't believe there is a trust in the United States. The State laws make trusts impossible, and I want to tell you that every anti-trust law on the statute books of State or nation was enacted by the Republican par Taking this as a subject some of. . the comic artists have drawn a pic ture of Hanna, declaring that he doesn't believe there is a Trust in the United States, surrounded and overshadowed by about two score or more of Trusts the Oil Trust, Via Snrr.. rTrr. r.4- tV. 01i. rrt i. - "u6" J.IUOI1, IUB OtUb xruab, ' - the Steel Trust, the Tin Plate Trust, the NaU Trust, the Wire Trust, the Glass Trust and numer - r v ous other Trusts, which the Honor able Mark Hanna doesn't seem to ? know anything about. But he Z - pulls most of them- for contribu tions, all the same, and doesn't trust them either, for he insists on cash. He added another piece of Bur ,l prising information to the statement Vcr that be didn't believe there is a Trust in the United States when he ; : exclaimed, "And I want to tell you that every anti-trust law on the - statute books of State or nation was 1 enacted by the Republican party." r Whether this is to be attributed to colossal cheek or amazing ignorance, 7 ' we don't know, but it is worthy of :i Mark Hanna, and we don't believe - there is another man in the United :- States who has any regard for his - reputation who would have made it. :vi There ia but one anti-trust law on the national statutes, and that is the ; - so-called Sherman anti-trust law, - which has been a dead-letter because it has never been enforced. As for the State anti-trust laws, there -; -" are some in the Korth and some - in the South., Some States have none. Wherever they are in exist- ence in the States reaching from ; Missouri, Kentucky and Maryland r. southward, they have been passed by Democraticlegislatures, but with . a broad sweep, and a brazen con ' . tempt lor the truth, Mark Hanna, presuming on the ignorance of his audience, declares that 'every anti trust law on tthe statue books of - State or nation was enacted by the Republican party." What confi dence can be pot in the veracity of a .: man who makes such bald-faced as- ser tions as this, when he must know "better? When he had finished this surpri- ting, bit of information, some one in the crowd shouted: "But they are not enorced.,, which Mr. . Hanna shouted "Yes; they are enforced." V back. Mark Hanna knew better than that. When was the Sherman anti trust law ever enforced? 'When the present U. S. Attorney General was asked why he did not enforce it he replied that he did not have the power, that the trusts were all operating under State charters and that the Sherman law was inopera tive as to them, and could not reach them, that they must be reached through State lawB. Who has ever heard of a Trust being prosecuted under any of the laws in Republican States? The last Attorney General of Ohio pro ceeded against the Standard Oil TruBt but found himself so ham pered by courts supposed to be un der the influence of the Oil Trust that he was balked in every move ment, and his term of office expired without his making any substantial progress, and the party managers who stood in with the Trust took good care that he wasn't nominated again. That's the way the laws against Trusts have been enforced in Republican States one solitary at tempt and that a failure, because of obstacles thrown in the way of the Attorney General who tried to en force the law. They have been, en forced in Mis souri, Arkansas and Texas, and as a result it is asserted that a good deal of capital has been kept out of those States. But if there are no Trusts, as Hanna asserts, how could the laws be enforced against them? They could not enforce a law against something that did not exist. If they ever did exist, when did they cease to exist? Has the enforcing i of the law driven them out or have they simply played out and fallen into "innocuous disuetude?" We have not, as we have just remarked, any evidence that they have been driven out by the enforcement of the anti-trust laws, so that they must either have died natural deaths, or be still alive. Here and there one may have gone to wreck because it was trying to carry too much water, or was absorbed by some stronger Trust, but there is one thing pretty well established, unless all the re cords lie, and that is that we have more Trusts and bigger Trusts in the country now than we ever had and bigger than any country ever before saw, and they are being added to every day, the last three men tioned within the past few days be ing a bank trust in New York city to absorb five other banks; a sea food Trust to control the fish and oyBter trade, and a telegraph and telephone Trust to control all the telegraphs and telephones in the United States. And yet Mark Hanna . had the amazing audacity to declare before an American audience, who were presumably readers of newspapers, and moderately well informed on current events, that he did not be lieve that there was a Trust in the United States. Such colossal cheek would be marvellous in any man but Mark Hanna. BRTAH'S ACTI0H VINDICATED. Moorfield Storey, an eminent Bos ton lawyer and writer, who was of fered but deolined the nomination for the Presidency by convention of Independents which met at Indian apolis a few weeks ago, has declared for Bryan, and issued a statement giving his reasons, from which we clip the following: "I am not disturbed by Mr. Bryan's course as to the ratification of the treaty with Spain. His position was explained at the time and is entirely defensible. The treaty gave us abso lute power over the Philippines, and the Republican Senators who urged ratification were arguing that it ended the war without iu anyway committing us to any course in the nnanrij. Mr. Bryan urged ratification, coupled with a declaration of our purpose to give the islands tneir independence. His policy was that often adopted by the anti-slavery men, who would buy a slave and then free him instead of try ing to persuade his master to free him. "Had Mr. Bryan's advice been taken there would have been no Philippine war and the issue which makes his election possible would not have ex isted. Hence there seems no ground for charging him with acting with in terested motives. "The Republican leaders are trying to stifle the conscience of their follow ers by appealing to their fear of pecu niary loss. We did not abandon the Revolutionary War because our conti nental currency became proverbially worthless, nor did the fear of business reverses prevent our prosecuting the Civil War. The American people will be less virtuous than their fathers if they persevere in a policy of wrong for fear that they may lose money by do ing right. It is a bad sign that such arguments are weighed against the claims of justice. "The cry that the only issue is 'the full dinner pail' is an insult to the American intellect and conscience. 'Another false argument against Mr. Bryan is that he will pack the Supreme Court I yield to no one in jealous solicitude for that great tribu nal, but the President alone cannot injure it He can at most nominate judges when vacancies occur; but no man can take a seat on the bench un til the Senate has confirmed his nomi nation. A Republican Senate which rejected such excellent nominees as Mr. Hornblower and Mr. Peckham when made by Mr. Cleveland is not likely to confirm unfit men nominated by Mr. Bryan. "There is far more danger that President McKinley, with a Senate of his own party, will pack the Supreme Court with men who will sustain the novel views of constitutional law upon which his imperial policy is defended than that Mr. Bryan will injure the court. Certainly such an appoinment as Mr. McKinley has made to the Fed eral bench in New York against the protect of the bar, to say nothing of other appointments, does not encour age us to expect any improvement of the bench at his hands." This is not only a withering re- I bake to the Republican leaders for I campaign methods they have ldopted, and the immoral pleadings To they resort to to secure popular en dorsement of their wicked policy of grab and "criminal aggression," but it is a forcible vindication of Win. J. Bryan for the part he took in advising the ratification of the Paris treaty, for which he is now denounced, misrepresented and abuBedbythe very men who then commended that advice as wise and patriotic, Mark Hanna, Mr. Mc Kinley's Mentor, among the num ber. They implored the opponents of ratification to yield and premit the treaty to go through, and thus put an end to the war which was only temporarily stopped by the protocol, and prevent complications that might involve us with other nations which were not friendly to us, and at the same time they virtually pledged themselves to pursue prac tically the same course in the Philip pines that they were pursuing in Cuba. For these reasons and influenced by these pledges, Wm; J. Bryan advised the ratification of the treaty, and seventeen Democrats in the Son ate ceased their opposition and let it go through. And now the very men who applauded their action then are denouncing Bryan and are at tributing his action to sinister mo tives, inspired by politics only. This is the pretence that whipped-in old man Hoar makes for criticising: Bryan and supporting McKinley, whose "criminal aggression" policy he denounced with the most vigor ous language he could command. Bryan wanted to avert a conflict in the Philippines, and let our soldiers come home, and if the supporters of McKinley had kept their faith and their pledges to those who on the strength of those pledges voted for tho ratification of the treaty there would have been no war and that shameful, horrible story of vandal ism, butohery and loot would never have blackened the pages of our his tory. . COTTON SEED. Until the establishment of the cotton seed oil mills in the South, the seed was regarded as a worth less article, and was looked upon as a nuisance. About the only use that was made of it was to turn it under the soil as a fertilizer. Since the establishment of the oil mills, it has become a source of considerable income to the planters while the oil extracted from it is worth annually $50,000,000 or more. But investi gation shows that it is not yet fully appreciated, and that it has in it properties that make it a food crop that will add immensely to its value. As bearing upon this we clip from the Philadelphia Record the follow ing, which will be interesting to the people of the South generally but especially bo to cotton growers: "Within a few years cotton seed has jumped from a place among the waste products of the farm to a posi- uon among me staples, it is now worth as much or more- than oats at the point of production. Mr. Edwin Ij. Johnson, in a very interesting ar ticle in The Forum for September, shows that cotton seed is no mean rival for the wheat crop of the coun try. The analytical value of the food components in 100 pounds each of wheat and cotton seed, as deduced from tests made in accordance with the methods in use by the agricultural experiment stations, are given as fol lows: Protein. Carbohydrates. jat. Value. Wheat 1187 73.60 8.09 $1.00 Cotton seed. 17.67 10 si 20.19 1.39 "But the food value of cotton seed as compared with wheat is not the only surprising fact set forth by Mr. John son. He declares that there are raised in the Southern States five-tenths as many bushels of cotton seed as there are raised bushels of wheat in the whole United States. He also shows that, notwithstanding the defective methods of some of the cotton raisers in the south, the yield of cotton seed taking no account of the fibre is greater, per acre, than the average yield of wheat. This statement is veri fied by the following table compiled from the reports of the United States Department of Agriculture: Acra. Bushels. Ttald nnr arm Wbeat 39,,000 63O,0CO,0O0 11.43 bushels. Cotton Bee (1.24,31(1,500 863,261,000 14.9 boshela. "He asserts that the cotton seed has half the intrinsic value of the cotton fibre, and insists that cotton seed oil, comprising nearly one-fourth part of the seed, is "sweeter in flavor and more neutral in odor than almost any known oil or fat," and is suitable as a perfectly pure and wholesome constituent of hu man food. Large quantities of cotton seed oil are used as a cheap adulterant of olive oil; but there is a certain res inous quality in raw cotton seed oil that is disagreeable when used for cooking." "Mr. Johnson denounces as an in justice the tax on artificial butter of which cotton seed oil is a constituent part, but omits in his argument to deal with the fraudulent practice of color ing the artificial butter to imitate the dairyjproduct. This is the single flaw in his argument. "There is no doubt that the intrinsic worth of cotton seed will in time com pel for it a due position in the mar kets in accordance with its merits. The facts set forth by Mr. Johnson put cot ton alongside of corn among the most valuable of farm products. To many of the readers of The Record the mag nitude of the bulk and value of the cotton seed product will no doubt be as novel as interesting." Speaking of the fattening prop erties of the seed there are thou sands of beef cattle annually fatten ed in the South on cotton seed hulls, which were for some years treated as waste or used as fuel in the mills. A little corn meal is sometimes mixed with these hulls, (which we believe are ground,) but nothing else. These beeves are in demand in the Northern and West- OYTft TYlQlrof a wtiavn lliair n1 arar v...

"This book is for a friend of mine who is using your Golden Medical Discovery,' and I cannot praise ytour medicine too highly. I was in business in Baltimore and had rheumatism for three months ; couldn't walk at all. I tried the best doctors I could get, but they did me no good. I took three bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and it cured me sound. I came home to Sharpsburg, and there were three cases of different diseases. I advised the patients to use Dr. Pierce's medicines, which they did, and all were cured." " Golden Medical Discovery" contains no alcohol, cocaine, nor other narcotic. Free.

Twenty-five or thirty years ago Edward Atkinson, of Boston, speak ing of the lack of appreciation of the value of the cotton plant, and incidentally of the thrift of the New England people, remarked that if the Yankee farmers had the plant they would make money out of it without the lint at all, and it is not improbable that the day may come when cotton may be profitably culti vated for the seed alone. THY FATHER S ANCIENT C REED. Despise not thou thy father's ancient creed ! Of his pure life it was the golden thread Whereon bright days were gathered bead by bead. Till death laid low that dear and re- verend head. From olden faith how many a glori- ' ous deed Hath lit the world ; it blood stained banner led The martyrs heavenward; yea, it was the seed Of knowledge, whence our modern freedom spread. Not often has man's credo proved a snare But a deliverance, a sign, a flame To purify the dense and. pestilent air, Writing on pitiless heavens one pity ing Name; And 'neath the shadow of the dread eclipse It shines on dying eyes and pallid lips.

The mill first caught about 12 o'clock, when they discovered it and put the fire out, as they thought ai. uie nine, ana leit it to retire again. But it seems that it was only stopped temporarily, as the fire rekindled again at 2 o'clock and had gained such head way that it was impossible to save the mill when the fire was discovered. The loss is four bales of cotton, two hun dred and fifty, bushels of cotton seed, one planing mill, one grist mill, gin and saw mill, estimated at $2,000. No insurance. Tarboro Southerner: Luke Moore, a white man living on Sheriff Knight's place near Sparta, had a warm place that nothing but a few pounds of congealed water would assuage, about 4:30 yesterday after noon. Walking into Arnheim Bros, bar he made the unusual request to Mr. Leggett, who promptly proceeded to serve him by placing a block of ice on the bar and chipping from it small pieces. Mr. Leggett soon found that he was working to slowly for the champion and called for assistance, claiming that he could hear the ice poning as it went down. Inside of ty minutes Mr. Moore had diannsAil oinve pounds and decided to leave that for a record for whomsoever could beat it, and will be willing to meet him or her for any sum, at any time or place.

The cotton market opened stead v in tone with prices twelve td nineteen points higher I on active general buying, in which in fluential Liverpool houses figured as leaders. Dunne the forenart nf th. session the I feeling was firm and pricesl were tolerably well sustained ' by continued foreign support and week-end cover ing of shorts. The public operated in an indifferent: manner, for the most part giving attention to the winding up of accounts' preparatory to a new start next week:, The strength on the call was entirely due to an unexpected bull development in the Liverpool market Both departments there re ported pronounced improvement and closed with sentiment still optimistic in the extreme.- The appearance of bull ideas abroad was privately re- ?orted as due I to the flood news of exas and other parts of the Western ? and to fears of manipulation in the New Orleans market Predictions uman Body Liable chills every six or seven days. Finally, when 1 heard of Pe-ru-na and Man-arlin I had eaten nothing for several days, j -v.aiwtnr'fl treatment. I, quit taking his medicine and began to take Pe-ru-na and Man-a-lln.I gained twenty-five pounds, and can now a anything I want without Inconvenience. My skin Is perfectly cieax v Jaundice. Mrs. S. E. Bobbins." Mrs. C.T. Rogers ; of Elgin, 111 writes: "Your medicine saved my baby, who had jaundice and catarrh of the liver. Catarrhal dyspepsia Is due to derange ments of the organs Intimately con nected with digestion, either the stom ach, liver, pancreas or bowels. When the liver is the principal cause there is a pain and heaviness In the. right side, great irregularity of the bowels, sick headache, palpitation of the heart, furred tongue, loss of appetite, bloating after meals, gloomy, despondent feel ings, yellowness of the skin and belch ing up gas. Bilious colic or gall stones are fre quently the result of catarrh of the liver. It also produces a condition closely resembling chronic malaria. All these troubles are quickly cured by Pe-ru-na. A short course of Pe-ru-na will do more to set right the digestive organs than all other remedies known to man. Pe-ru-na is sure to produce a vigorous appetite and regular digestion. All bilious diseases disappear when Pe-ru-na is used. There are no substitutes for Pft-rn-na. For a free book address Dr. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio. for abnormal receipts at the interior towns and ports next week, notably at Galveston,' led traders on the local exchange to proceed with great cau tion. Crop reports from the Eastern belt were rather better, but not suffi cient to specially figure as an influence.
