In recently giving bis reasons for the Democratic defeat at the late elections Senator Vest said that bard times and the scarcity of money did it. It would hare "been more accu rate to bave said that tbe scarcity of money did it for it was scarcity of money which made the low prices of farm products the low prices of la bor, and much of the lack of employ ment f from which the people are '; suffering, lit might be replied by some that this was not the cause of the low prices of farm products, &c, for if so then cotton would not have risen as it has but would have met with the same fate as other farm products. But tbe man who thus re : plies forgets or ignores the fact that It was tbe short crop of cotton which put up the price, and that tbe price would in all probability have run much higher if money had been more abundant. The domestic price of our farm products is generally fixed by the foreign price which is fixed by the buyer in the foreign market and in the money which he uses. That money being gold in the countries which we do most ot our trading the price is fixed in gold but paid in sil ver for the exports or paid for on this side in the money of this country. Tbe masses of the people rarely go back to inquire into the origin of , the-Hls from which they suffer but generally bold the party' in power responsible for them and in this case tbey forget that the financial system which produced this scarcity of money was inherited from the Re publican party and was the creation of Republican statesmanship, but tbey expected with the change of ad- . ministration better times,better prices for the products of the farm,. more employment and better wages, and as these did not come they attributed the failure t lack of ability on the part of the Democratic party to ad minister the Government well and held it responsible for the failure. There was no justice in this, for, as we have said, the Democratic party inherited this wretched financial sys tem from the Republican party; but it is the fact, nevertheless. The trouble with too many of our Democratic leaders was that they didn't have the nerve to declare this Republican financial system wrong any further than denouncing the Sherman "cowardly makeshift" and demanding its repeal. With this ex ception they undertook to run the Democratic party in the Republican financial rut, and to do this many of the trusted leaders of the party . climbed up on to John Sherman's band wagon and rode with him. There they are to-day and console themselves with the claim that the popular verdict which laid their party out fiat in a number of North ern States and in two Southern : States was their vindication. If when under the urging ot a Democratic President and a Demo cratic .Secretary of the Treasury, from both of whom the Democracy of the country expected much, and brilliant leadership, the purchasing clause of the Sherman act was re- j pealed' they had gone further and provided for the coinage of silver in . an amount equivalent to the amount lost to circulation by that repeal and at the same time repealed, as the Democratic platform of 1892 recom mended, the State bank tax, the cur rency and the stiver questions would have become dead issues and the Democratic party would bave stood in . the last elections as solid as a stone wall. There would have been no free silver agitation . and no "sound money" fulmi nations, no pitting of repre sentative Democrats against each other, and no administration cam paign of education with members of the cabinet perambulating the coun try in the capacity of "sound money" professors, and no factions arrayed against each other in con ventions and afterwards on the hus tings and no pooling of issues with Republicans to defeat Democratic . -nominees who refused to pull in the . gold traces." : This would have prevented the cornering of money and its scarcity, there would have been no financial nor industrial crash in 1893, there would bave been no. speculating on tbe gold in tbe Treasury, no runs on it and no necessity to issue bonds to keep up tbe reserve. Imports would have been larger, tbe customs duties . larger: there would have been an Increase rather than a de crease in the internal revenue receipts, and no deficiency in tbe Treasury. With this and the new tariff, tbe new industries would bave multiplied and tbe country would be to-day humming with activity and prosperity, and the Democratic lines would be as solid and- as impregna bleas granite. The people never go against the party la power when they are pros pering.' and they are willing to put up with a good many short comings and even vices of the party if they prosper under it, but they are very apt to go against the party in power if they are not prosperous and have to scuffle to make . ends meet, for they almost instinctively couple their adversity and the policies pursued and hold the party in power respon sible for both. The men who vote do not always investigate or reason, but tiheir votes count all the same. Thats tbe kind of votes that count-' ed for th;" Democratic defeats in the last elections. MEBOR MEBTIOR We have written much in these columns on' the subject of good roads, which we are glad to say are attracting much more attention than formerly and receiving much more careful consideration. Some of the effects are given in tbe following, which we find in the Atlanta Constitu tion: i The Chicago ChronicU in an edito- 9 rat on tbe road question has tbe follow-: ing: 'General Torrence, who is a Chicago man, is building a country house within twenty-one miles of tbe city of New York. Tbe house and its appurtenances will cost near $2,000,000. The cost of maintaining such an establishment can not be less than $100,000 a year, and is likely to be more than that. General Torrence's house will be but one of very costly SommerYesidences that adorn the neighborhood of New York. '"Let us note a . few consequences of the erection of such suburban palaces. " 1. Land that, intrinsically, is worth bat $100 an acre as farming ground be comes worth fabulous sums. " '2. The ad ucent. farmers find a near and very profitable market for their pro duce among the ncn residents. - " 8. The tone of society is elevated and the farming community is benefited there 5y. Our contemporary goes on to say tbat fine building sites within twenty miles of Chicago go begging, while New York is surrounded by palaces. The reason is plain New York has good roads all around is. while Chicago has bad country roads in its vicinity. No man wants to spend a fortune on a coun try home if the roads are so bad tbat he cannot ride or drive with pleasure. Tbe road Question is becoming more important every day. and State. Legisla tures and county authorities cannot give it too much attention. With first class roads the rural districts will attract population; free mail delivery, a tele phone service and electric railways will follow, and thousands of wealthy people who now live in cities will build their homes thirty or forty miles out. Eery State shoald have good high ways, if it has to build them on credit. They are a necessity. The annual report ot tbe Commis sioner of Labor for this State makes a splendid showing as to the pro gress of cotton manufacturing with in our borders. With 156 cotton and woollen mills in operation, we take the lead of all the Southern States in the jnumber of mills and yet new mills are under way and the increase goes on steadily. The increase in the number of spindles from 30,000 in 1870, to 913,458 at this time gives some idea of the great and continued activity in this industry within this period. The consumption of cotton the past year is about equal to the total product of this year. If the same activity had been shown . in all the cotton growing States in the manu facture of cotton, the bulk of the cotton crop would now be manufac tured in the South, and we could fix our own p'rice on cotton. While our people have shown remarkable en ergy in the erection of cotton mills and are entitled to much credit for it, candor compels to say that they bave advantages not enjoyed to the same extent by the people of any other State, in having practically unlimited water power extending over a very large area of the State, with good railroad facilities for the transporta tion of the raw material and of the goods manufactured. Cheap sites tor mills centrally located, cheap fuel, cheap living, good climate are all factors in the building up of this industry which will continue to oper ate in the future as tbey have in the past. -i m - . ss One of the first results of tbe im provement in the times in this conn try was tbe increase of the immigra tion from other countries. Daring 1894 the emigration was somewhat in excess of tbe immigration, al though the immigration for the first nine months ending with Sep tember footed up 141,485. For the corresponding period of this year It is 249,332, or 107,847 greater. Of the total , this year the United King dom, England, Ireland aud Scot landsent 73,551, as compared with 52,568 last year; Germany 28,203 compared with 31,145 last year; Italy 32,725 to 32,265 last year; Russia 31,744 to 21,394 last year. This shows a falling off of a few thousands for Germany, a small falling off for Italy, with a considerable gain from the United Kingdom and from Russia. We may expect for years to come a large immigration from the older countries while they are overcrowded as they are and the opportunities for making a living are so much better in this country. Ordinarily this would be cause for a congratulation, but in the condition of this country now. with its overstocked labor market, and its thousands of idle people, and great army of tramps, it is not a cause for congratulation. Without anypreju dice against tbe foreigner, who natu rally desires to better his condition it would be well for this country if the tide ceased to flow until we re covered our equilibrium. . .. aaaaaaaMMaaaiaaaiaaaMBaaaaaja - Mr. John Jacob Astor only looked at Mr. Keely's motor.

Resolutions of respect to the memory of the late Mr. W. T. Walters were pre sented bv Hon. George Davis and adopted by a rising vote, on motion of Dr. A. . DiRosset as follow: Since our last annual meeting William T. Walters has died. For many years bis history, and. indeed it may be said, bis daily lite, bav; been so intimately blended with those of the Wilmington & Weldon Railroad Company tbat we can hardly think of them as separate. It is eminently fit, therefore, that in this meeting, which is both a corporate and social function, we should testify our sense of the eminent value of his life and the deplorable nature of his loss, The fortunate soldier who makes wilderness and calls its peace will ever be the world's favorite hero, and the theme ofits glowing praise; but of those, who are to live when tbe sold ier has passed by. surely he who devotes bis whole life with a broad charity and an untiring energy to building up the waste places, which the. soldier has made ought not to be without tbe grate ful remembrance of those whom bis labors bave benefitted. Such in a great measure, is the life history of William T.Walters. And that' mind must be incapable of sound discrimination which withholds its commendation be cause in benefitting others be also be Befitted himself. Those of us who re member the country between Charles ton and Richmond, when it was first awakened by bis touch, and who look upon it now will need no aid to invoke our greateful remembrance. His whole life was lived under the law ot rugged toil and anxious care, and he might well have ; been content with the triumph cf a brilliant and successful business career; but be was intensely aesthetic, instinct with artistic taste, beauty and knowledge, and he knew how to draw them into his daily life for bis comfort and delight. Trivial amuse ments and. fashionable fads he despised Whatever extravagances he had lay in tbe domain of art, and when enough had been done for utility be made bis money blossom like a rose, i His keen sagacity to discern where great possibilities lay dormant and tbe courage to grasp and fix tbem, tbe abil ity to command great resources and to weld and organize them never losing sight of . details, until the whole were moulded into one consistent plan, and then tbe energy and resolution which moved on as resistless as fate, un til the work was done; these lifted him up to the level of those merchant princes ot old, who sat at tbe board of Kings and propped the revenues of empires. His was no gilded youth dallying with opportunities and catching tbem only when they fell into his hands. . He rmde his opportunities and utilized them for himself; and that after all was the great lesson of his life. I His consolation was tbat his life-work went not down into : dust with him, but fell into the hands of one reared in his own methods and in the light of bis Own example. ;-. Tbe stockholders of the Wilmington ana weiaon Kaitroaa company in meet ing assembled do resolve: . 1st. That in the death of William T, Walters this company has to deplore the loss of an able, enlightened and judi cious friend and administrator; wise and farseeing in counsel, liberal in action and ready to stand by it with all his re sources in every emergency. 2d. That in his efforts to improve the Coast Line sys em be was never satis tied to let well enough alone, but was always reaching out for better tames, Ever mindful of the interests of every stockholder, even the smallest, he brought all the great resources of his intelligence, experience and information to the service ot that system until it has become a just subject of pride and aamiration to us an. 8d..

Mlddlston & Bvenel Address an Interesting Ciroolsr to Their Cor respoudentr, Impressing Upon 'Them ths Danger of Planting Too Mnoh Cot ton Next Tear. - Messrs. Middleton & RaveneU the well-known cotton brokers of Charles ton, says the News & Courier', have issued a very interesting circular on the cotton situation. The open , letter will be sent to "all of their correspondents throughout the South. It contains many striking (acts and figures and it will be read with keen interest by the cotton planters and cotton men in this and other States. The writers say in substance that the great danger which menaces the country is that an enormous crop of cotton will be planted next sea son. They -predict that if this is done that prices will sot only go lower than they now are. but that cotton next sea son will be a practical drag on tbe mar ket. The circular, however, exolatns it self more fully than it can be explained. It is as follows : Charleston, S. C. Nov. 5. 1895. To the Cotton Planter: The condi tion of cotton at the present moment is one that should give cause for deep thought on tbe part of the planter, and he shoald pause before he enters into any arrangement for planting another crop. To-day we see every indication, of a small crop; receipts are light and decreasing every day: The great stand-by of tbe English spinners (Mr. Neil I,, predicts a small cuuurn of the present crop. All reports from tbe cot ton ection show tbe crop is shorter than it has been for years, and the Gor ernmest report confirms these other re ports. The business in dry goods is good, and the demand is increasing, and everything on its face shows that at least for this year the cotton planter is to be rewarded lor his toil by getting a fair living price lor his cotton; but what are the facts? We see cotton declining every day. January contracts having been f jrced down 2 of a cent, or $3 75 per bale within two weeks. Of course, this was only tbe natural result of an over loaded speculative market, and if it had not affected the actual cotton it would have passed by comparatively unnoticed, but tbe foreign spinnets from tbat mo ment seemed to have dropped complete ly out of tbe market, evidently waiting for such another move to fjree the spot cotton still lower and enable tbem to buy cotton at their own sweet pleasure and price. . Tdus we see that the speculators in New York arc playing directly into the bands of tbe natural enemies of cotton. Tbe situation seems now to be narrowed down to a battle between the cotton planter cn one side and the foreign spin ner on the other, backed np by the spec ulators and gold powers of the North. It seems tbat either gold or cotton must be exported to avoid tbe issue of bonds, and as another bond issue might imperil tbe chances of the Democratic party.lhe cotton planter must be sacrificed and the price of cotton beat down until he is compelled to sell. This is all wrong and can be avoided by a little judgment and common sense. One of the greatest clouds hangicg over the coston market is tbe talk of a tremendous crop next year. Some pre dictions have already beeu made that the next crop will be 11.000 000 bales, tbe enemies of cotton forgetting that the cotton planter has learned a lesson or two in tbe last five years. If it was known and understood that tbe cotton planter had been fooled into planting a tremendous crop for the last time and that the crop for the next year would be only a moderate one, cotton spinners would enter into the market; we would see better prices for the present crop and better prices for the next crop. A large crop next year means low prices for what cotton is not already sold this year and lower prices next year. Let the planter plant his crop on the same basis of this year's crop; plant plenty of provisions and keep down tbe cotton acreage. Tbe balance of this year's cotton and next year's crop under ex'Sting circumstances should sell at 9 cents, at least, at the pons. Keep down the cotton acreage and save yourselves from a repetition of 5 cents cotton and disaster. Yours truly. Middleton & Ravenel. Death cf Mr. Jos. 8. Mltohell. Mr. Joseph S. Mitchell, son of tbe late B F. Mitchell, died yesterday morn ing at 8 80 o'clock, at the residence ol Mrs. Fannie S.

Edward E. Phelps. M. D LL. D.. of Dartmouth College to discover the re markable formula of Paine's celery com; pound ia the work of the century's work in medicine. . - It is by a new and more ' thoughtful grouping of diseases, from a careful study of their cases, that Prof, Phelps has been enabled to see the tiue rela tionship of all diseases of the blood and nerves. ;? : Neuralgia, sleeplessness, melancholia, hysteria, headache and dyspepsia at once referred themselves to a tired, half-fed and therefore deraged nervous system. The care lay in attending to the nu trition of the whole system. This sys tem of core, simple and clear, like most epoch making ideas, was embodied in tbe greatest tissue former, nerve-re storer and regulator yet known to science Paine's celery compound, the one great remedy that makes people well! " Persons who complained of feeling "tired to death and sought a compe tent invigorator, as soon as their ohvsicians . ordered Paine's celery compound ielt that their tired bodies were actually taking a new start. Their strength rapidly returned. Tbey were no more troubled with sleepless nights and their days were no longer made wretched by neuralgia and rheumatism. Constipation felt that stores up in the body substances long since worse than useless to tbe body and a menace to the health is looked after. Any one troubled with this obstinate hindrance to health wil ind a positive and lasting cure i a Paine s celery compound. It takes a very short time to settle any ''doubts on tbe matter by giving Paine's celery compound a trial. "I wish to give my testimony of tbe great benefit fames celery compound has done me. A vear ago I bad typhoid fever, and later I bad to bave an opera tion in my side for aa abscess over the liver. ' This left me very weak. I grew very nervous and could not sleep. I was tired even more after I got up than I was when I went to bed. I have taken four bottles of Paine's celery compound, and am perfectly well 1 I have sent six bottles to some friends in Virginia. One, although be has taken only a bottle of it, feels much better and sleeps well. Paine's celery compound puts the sys tem on a healthy, strong basis.' safe from disease.
