Among the most faoticeable, most Nyeish and most apropos is the following: A man jmay use a wart on the bacic of his neck for a collar button; ride on the back coach of a tram to save Interest on his money until the con ductor comes around; stop his watch a'tjiigbt to save the wear, and tear; leave his "i" and "t" without a dot or cross to save !ink; pasture his mother's grave to save corn; but a m.ai of this kind is a gentleman and a scholar compared to a fellow who wiilltake a! newspaper, and when askedrto pay for it, puts it into the post-offfcfcand has jit marked, 'Re fused." View of placating Mr. Blaine than of opening a market to American wheat or pork. . We tried under McKinleyism and previous Republican . tariffs the ad' vantages of the so-called home maf' ket, which has always proved a de lusion and a snare to the American. farmer. In verity the home mar ket which the protectionists have in their eye is the monopolistic home market the protected manufacturers will have when foreign' manufactur ers are practically excluded, and the home manufacturers have nothing to fear from foreign competition. ; The home market is a good thing for them, for they can gauge their output in proportion to the demand and manufacture only so much as may be profitably disposed of ; but the farmer cannot do that. He plants, sows and reaps and cannot tell what the harvest will be until he gathers or reaps. If the crop be small the prices may be high, but he may not; have enough to pay him for his work and Investment, but if his crop be large then . there will be a surplus' for which he must seek a market in other countries. There he must find sale for the sur plus that the home market cannot consume. Haven't we had for thirty-odd years, with the exception of the 'time in which the Wilson tariff has been in operation, this so called "home market"? If not, why not ? And with thirty- odd years of this kind of ne plus ultra market shouldn't the farmers of this country be pretty well fixed and pretty well able to stand a little set back from the Wilson 1 tariff, which Mr. McKinley seriously tells us played the mischief ? We are not disposed to understl- mate the importance of the home market for it is a good and should be our best market, and with bur 70,- 000,000 of people it ought to be able to consume all our farmers raise and leave ; but little if any surplus for shipment abroad. But it can never do this while W terprise and development are cramped' for want of a sufficiently expansive volume of currency, and while a comparatively small . number of men can control the volume of money we have and contract or ex pand it as their interests may 'dic tate and thus affect the value of everything bought or sold. We want a home market, but a home market with the shackles off; a home market in which every one will have a chance, not a home j market for the benefit of the favored manufacturer, in which every one felse will have to pay tribjite to him.j We tried that kind t of a home market for thirty years and we fail to see where any one but the protected manufacturer was benefitted by it. It is late in the day fof Mr. .Mckinley to be flaying that old fake. i X ; ; tion,' there is not now, for it has been admitted by a number of the most prominent leaders in that movement. Ex-Secretary Fairchild, ex -Secretary Whitneyj Hon. Don M.' Dickinson, ex-Minister Phelps, - Hon. Bourke Cockran, Hon. Henry Watterson,. Senator Vilas, Senator Palmer, Gen. Bragg, Secretary Mortbn,- and last but not least, Comptroller Eckels, all admit that it is the purpose to take votes away from Bryan, and thus aid in . the - election of McKinley, and the restoration ' of the R publican; party u to power. What ever they may profess they are sim ply .assistant Republicans, perform ing in disguise as Democrats. Mr. Cooley, one of .; the delegation to Indianapolis from Tennessee, who was exceedingly anxious to :. have Cleveland nominated, gave as a rea son for it that his nomination would "add several hundred thousand votes to the ticket in the South that, would otherwise go to Bryan." j Mr. Cooley coolly proposes to utilize Mr. Cleve land's name and prestige and his supposed popularity to help Mr. McKinley, . for Mr. Cooley has not the remotest idea that Mr. Cleveland, if nominated,; could be elected. And these men have the audacity to call themselves Democrats and to ask Democrats to co-operate with them in the effort to elect McKinley. What amazing cheek. MIHOR MENTION. In THE HOME MARKET. letter of acceptance Mr. Mcii-iniey iald great stress; upon the home market ' which would supply farmers, with consumers to buy the products of the farm, and tbus-bring prosperity to them. It is not more silver we need; according to him, but,more mills; thi opening of the mills, he would have us understand, which were closed by 'the Wilson ' tariff. '- , . ; ;, Mr. MCKlnley is neither truthful nor honest in his statement, for as a matter of fact many mills were started up after the passage of the Wilson bill Which had been rlneH since the financial and business col lapse. of 183, and another fact Is that under the Wilsoo law there has been an increase of $70, 000,000 in our manufactured exports over the corresponding period undeij the McKinley law. Under stimulus of free raw . material or of material on which the duties were materially reduced, the, factories Diancu up aua rusnea things until mey overstocked the market and then they had to contract the output. Ia the meantime they exported more than they ever did before in the same period, showing that under the .wuson law, with untaxed or less taxed raw material, they could com pete with foreign .manufacturers, witn whom they had not ' been able to compete under previous Republi can tariffs.. - - One reason, and the principal rea son, why they overstocked the mar ket was because the low prices of farm products crippled the capacity of the f armers to buy, the conse quence of which was that, they bought j less and ' the manufacturer suffered. It was not the Wilson tariff, which Mr. McKinley calls free trade , myuiuw muu, uui me strin gency of money which prevented the free and profitable sale of manufac tures that caused depression in the manufacturing industries. . But Mr. McKinley is still playing the "home market" fake on the farm ers, or j trying to play it, as it has been played by the high protection 1st for years.. Mr. Blaine wasn't baokin'g so mach on the home mar ket, which is a very good thing, for he told the committee when they were laboring on the bill which bore Mr. McKioley's name, that there wasnt a clause in- it that would "open i a market for another bushel of American wheat or barrel of pork." Yielding to his energetic per sistence they finally added ar recip rocity supplement more with -the One of the accusations -i made against the free silver movement is that it is sectional and that the effect If cot purpose is to arrav the Smith and the West against the East. With equal propriety and infinitely more . truth it might have been alleged that the movement for tariff reform, for wliicb the Democratic party was contending for years, ,was a sectional movement because most of the beneficiaries .of a high protec tive tariff ftxt in the East; while most of those who suffered by it were in other sections. But these gentlemen who deprecate' making sectional issues are themselves doing it in a most offensive: way. Hon. Bourse Cockran, who poses as a Democrat, had the ineffable mean ness to charge that the silver move ment was mainly supported by "re pudiating farmers of the West" and "unrecconciled silver holders of the South " Mr. McKinley in bis letter I of acceptance appeals tc the soldiers wno -savea the Union," and ex President Harrison in his speech at Carnegie Hall, New York, declared that the fight now was to preserve what was won by the Federal armies which fought for the preservation of theUnion. This, is not his exact language, but it is the substance of what fie said on the sectional line. They both appealed to the memories of the past, and tried to stir up the almost extinguished embers of the war.; But the meanest and most ma lignant utterance yet made in this campaign on the sectional line is the following from a speech of Hon. Don M. ' Dickinson, ex-Postmaster Gen eral, under Cleveland's first adminis tration, in the Sound Money State Convention, at Lansing, Mich: it is not embarrassine at all. vnn suggest, to be mentioned by my fellow Democrat but in this State m nr.n belief is. as you know, that we should nee both barrels at the nnmiatatraHi. enemies of the republic.

Its resoonsibilltv would go no further, o j ; - ? Should- the Government exercise the option of paying silver! dollars to its creditors instead , of gold, silver mono metallism would be tberebv established and the credit of the Government would suffer to the extent of its repudiation of ocois contracted undet the gold stand- aru oi vaiue. ' ' i uis is not an nonest answer. Under free coinage the silver dollars would be just as much guaranteed as they are now. The only guaran tee they have is the resolution of the Congress of the United States known as the Stanley Matthews resolution declaring that the Government had the moral and legal right to redeem its obligations in silver dollars, of standard weight and fineness, and the declaration in the Sherman act that it is the policy bf this Govern ment to maintain usTdifferent kinBs' of money J at imparity. The only authority , for discriminating against silver is in the arbitrary de cision of Secretary J Fester to 'pay gold instead of silveiy under the pre tence that this was the way to "main- tain tne parity." The stamp of the Irovernment-on the face of silver coin is its guarantee that it will take it and pay it out and to pay debts. That's FIRE AT WARSAW.

I One of the oldest and most respected citizens of Wilmington, Dr. John Dillard Bellamy, died Sunday evening last, after a long and painful illness, in the 79th year of bis age, at his residence, corner of Market and Fifth streets. . . v . . . . I Dr. Bellamy was born in All Saints' Parish, South Carolina, on the 18th of September, 1817, of a Huguenot famjly which originally settled in 1696 in St John's Parikh, between .the Ashley and Cooper rivers, above Charleston. He was the son of a wealthy planter, and in herited as the only surviving child his wealth, and when the late' civil war broke out' was the Wealthiest man in this section. He was educated at Marion Academy, S. C and Rice Creek Acade my, in the same State, and at the Uni versity of Pennsylvania, where be grad uated as a Doctor ot Medicine in 1839. He came to Wilmington in November, 1835, as a student of medicine under Dr. William J. Harriss, and settled here ; after graduation and mar ried the daughter of Dr. Harriss in June. 1839. He practiced his profession with great success in Wilmington for fifteen years, when he was compelled to retire on account of ill health and his larpe planting and business interests, which required his time and attention. He was a large slave-holder and noted for bis humanity towards and kind treat ment of ms slaves, caring always for their health and religious interests, even going to the extent of regularly employ ing a Christian minister to preach to them; and even since their freedom, has assisted and befriended them. He was one of the original Democrats in . Wil mington, and with. Hon. W. S. Ashe really formed the party here, and for about eighteen years was chairman of the Democrat association of New Han over county. He was a strong State's rights man and gave liberally of his means to the conduct of the war, and was eyfcr consistent in maintaining those principles.- ... He was one of the promoters of the North Carolina railroad, and was until after the war a director in the road; and was also a director, in tne Wilmington & Weldon railroad for thirty years. He was one ot the largest stockholders and directors in the Commercial Bank, a flourishing and rich institution, which was, swept away by the war. He was also one ot the promoters and largest stockholders and bondholders of the Wilmington & Manchester railroad, now tbe Wilmington, Columbia & Augusta. He was ior many years and at the time of his death an honorary member of the Medical Society of North Carolina. He never sought or would hold a public of fice, although tendered nominations fre quently, as he considered, to use his own language, "A private station more desirable and equally as honorable for a gentleman of integrity." ; - He was a conscientious, honest, Chris tian gentleman, and leaves behind him a name for sincerity, candor and integrity, which is a rich legacy not only to bis own family but uo the community in which be lives.'.-; -. -.

He voted the Democratic ticket; bad judgment, I think; he then voted the ropuust ticket: better, you see, as he comes along. Tne Democrats dread mm worse than they do the devil. He nas c-een snubbed by them. I have. aiso. and know how, it feels But you can't wet a duck by pouring water on his back. Russell wanted the nomina tion tne year that Foxle and mvself were nominated. His brother. Tom Rus sen. came out to see me on my farm ana asked me if I was going to run. oa i ioia nim no. and that 1 would do anything thai I could x for his brother. I heard no more -bnt ataorrl at home, and the day ot tbe convention. to my grtat surprise, I got a telegram telling; me that I was nominated for Governor. I thought over it a long time, and finally, on account of my dear wife's pleas, accepted it. She told me to ac cept and fight for it, and it defeated I migntget a place through Blaine; which i oia. I was counted out, and Fowle elected oy the Democrats. But I got a place to B.-al. I came back to settle up, and the Democrat, Fowler, of the department under which I wai. told me that I was an honett man ; that I had managed affa.rs well. While there I Biuaico ine money question well, and now I am for free silver." i -I -RdsHl hooted at it,and now be yells for it. Russell has been writing to Re publicans North that negroes should be disfranchised.'. 1 This. seemed to take the negroes by storm. Dockery made a good hit at Russell with that statement. He said he never scratched a colored man's name from a ticket, but instead voted for them.: . ' - - .' ! ' The thiid thing that I want is honest elections. We got that by co-opsration with his (Guthrie's) carty. .We want to do it again. . "I ,am placed on "the Republican party's ticket. They may keep me there if thev wish, but it will be late in the day when I tell them that I will accept. I am for the working man and his protec tion. You ought to fuse, not M nni melt together like lard. Then when the election is over beat the drums and march off again. I am a free silver Re publican and I would be a fool to xar vass the Slate for silver and then vote for McKinley, When you bivs- got what you want go back to your old pauy u you wisn. i may do it.

Great laughter I am told that in tb s city you manufacture more agri cultural implements than are manufac tured in any other city in tbe country. I am glad to talk to av people weo recog nize their dependence upon the farmers of this country. I have had occasion to talk to some who seem to imagine the. naraer up tney couia maice the farmers, the better they would be off: I am glad to talk to you who recognize! that the dollars which you receive are earned by those who convert the natural resourcts of this country into money: those who till the sail and from its fertility sorincs forth this nation's primary greatness. As a matter, of fact the farmers and tbe la boring men are the foundation of so ciety. I Cheers. 1 ; - Upon this foundation , is built the- commercial classes, and the f financier acts as a sort ofroof over the whole thing. You can takei off the roof and put on another, but you cannot destrov tbe foundation without ruininc the whole building. f Applausel Gold smith has well expressed it fwben he says : ' . f " --'V.- " 'Princes and ' Lords i i mar fade. .

If vou have a gold standard you legislate the value or money up and vou legislate the vnlm of property down.-' Do you remember when we were young how ' we used to get on the teeter-board, and when one. end was up the other end was down. it has remained for modern financiers to declare that you can keep both ends of the teeter-board up at once. Laughter. Assuming to be statesmen, thev disre gard every law bf trade, every law of economy, every law of nature, and every law of God. There is not a law. human or divine, tbev rtsoect. because they think they are bigger tnan the Gov ernment, and greater than the Almighty. lureai laugnter.j rue legislation that increased tbe purchasing rjower nf a dollar simply enables that dollar to buy more oi otner things. How can a do lar be made to buy more 'of other things? By making more wheat sell for a dollar. more corn sell for a dollar, Imore oata sell for a dollar, more potatoes sell for a dollar, more products of toil exchange- awc ior a given amount oi money. it is a good thine for the man whn noma money and buys property,but it is a mighty bad thing for the man who has to pay money with the property that, be produces. Applause li How does the gold Standard affect you? Make your mpiemcDia ana y on j sen them to the farmer. Suppose the farmer fi ids his tafes do cot go down; his interest does not go down, bis debts do not do rfnwn- but the price of all that he sells goes down. Wljat does it mean ? It meats that he has a less ar,d less amount to ex pend on'agricultural implements and on the support of bis family. "ii you sell him agricu'tural imole- meats he promises to p3y you. and the exchange destroys his abil Itv tn nav Then you find fanlt because ycu have to Uke your implements back and anil them second-band to somebody' else Cheers J That is tbe t fleet of legisla tion. Our opponent is trvinc to throw upon Providence the lault for our condi tions. If a farmer comolains he is not making much out of his potato crop, -they tell him it is due to the potato bug. If he is not making much out of corn, they tell him it is due to the chinch him If he is not making much out of wheat, they tell him it is due to the army worm. But let me tell you, the gold Bug is destroy ing more crops than ail of them. Great laughtei. ''The farmer is the most helDless victim of circumstances of all the pro ducers of wealth. If a man is engaged in manufacturing and finds the demand is decreasing, he can close his factory and stop the expense of production; but the farmer can't. When he plants bis crop in the Spring be does not know whether there is going to be a flood or drought; whether it is going to be hot wind or cold hail, He takes his chances, and I assert when he his taken more chances than anybody else and survives all the pestilences and calamities that visit the farm, it is not fair to drive him between the bulls and bears of Wail street and let them take from him what, is left.
