There ought to be no such thing as sectionalism in the money ques tion, but under the methods that Bare prevailed in this country for more than thirty years and still pre vail it is a sectional question. Like the tariff it operates in the interest of the North, which reaps the great est benefit from it, as the Northern beneficiaries of the high tariff reaped whatever of benefit there was in that. We are not saying this in a captious, fault-finding spirit, but because it is a fact. , The Republicans who established both of these systems will, of course, deny this and claim that both are broadly national, but every . one knows that while the tariff may give so-called protection to a few indus tries in the South and in the agri cultural States of the West, which have sprung up since this particular system was adopted, it has cost these sections a hundred times more than the benefit they have received from it. For every dollar of protection they get they pay hundreds of dol lars to the Iforthern manufacturers, for whose especial benefit this policy was adopted. So while under the present mone tary system there may be some na tional banks in the South and in the agricultural States-6f the West, the larger number and the strongest banks are in the North and these practically control the volume of the currency and have the other sec tions in their power. This is an un deniable fact, and whether it may have been so intended or not, prac tically the money question is a sec tional question, with the North hold ing the position of a dictator and claiming the right to shape mone tary legislation in such a way as to perpetuate its predominance over other sections. , i Some, a few, papers in that sec tion take a broad and correct view of this question and contend for the right of each section and each State to control its own currency system, as they did up to the time of the establishment of the national tho -people wouldn't have more Biolkiy bscr.uso they would have to work for the money in the banks, or havo something to exchange for it. That is precisely what the Southern people would expect to do, and that is the way they would expect to get the coined silver, as they would get the notes of the banks. That's- the way they have gotten all the money they have, and they have tugged pretty hard for it, and sold a good deal of cotton and other stuff for which they would have received much more money if money had been more plentiful. Would they assert that the Bland- Allisnn ant. n.nrl r,Vi Sl-i.rm.in not. (didn't give the country more money and that the South didn't get any fo that ? We have about" $600,TJ00, 000 in the country that would nox be if neither of these acts had been doubted passed. Both or these were limited, and yet we are told that the belief that free coinage of silver would mean more money for the South is "erroneous." That isn't "errone ous" for the Chicago writer; it is simply undiluted nonsense. Free coinage would mean more money for the whole country, and more for the South, for the owners of silver who had it minted would seek investment for it, and would put it where it could be invested to the best advantage. Millions of it would find investment in Southern enterprises and in the development of Southern resources, in opening mines, in building railways, in building factories, in establishing iron and steel plants, and in various other industries for whichhe South offers more inducements than any other section of this country, and millions more would be used as a basis of circulation for the State banks if the sectional monopolists who now control the money volume of the country would loosen their grip on Congress and let it repeal the law taxing State bank notes. The "better banking facilities," the Chicago paper talks about, the South will never have until there is a radical change in the present banking system which will enable the South to establish her own banks. tort money from consumers. What Mr. Mills ti)3ans when ho sya ho does not think there will be any "material change in prices" is left to conjecture. The Star knows, how ever, that it has already been noti fied of an early advance of 12 per cent, in the price of the paper it is now using. Very likely, Mr ODD FELLOW'S LOi mas A NOTED HUNTER.

He says pay no money, endorse no checks, drafts or other paper for any person claiming to be an Odd Fellow without first telegraph ing the lodge secretary about the mat ter. The secretary tells of a recent in stance where one William Strocht had in his possession an Odd Fellow's vis iting card and fulfilled the secret re quirements and induced a brother Odd Fellow to endorse a check for a con siderable amount. It was protested and the discovery made that the fellow had never been a member of the lodge of which he claimed to be. Similar letters have been addressed by Mr. Woodell to all the lodges in the State. "A BRIGHT AND GROWING DAILY." MINOR MENTION. it banking system when the Govern ment of the United States confined itself to its constitutional function of coining the metals into money and regulating the value thereof, while each State provided its own banking system in pursuance of its own laws. There was no sectional ism then, and that question did not figure as an issue in' the arena of na tional politics nor as a standing sub ject of discussion in the National Legislature. There are others who, although favoring the present system, admit that there is something wrong, but will not look in the right direction for the wrong. We have an illus tration of this in the following from the Chicago Times-Herald, a Repub lican organ, published before the recent convention of the gold stand ard people at Indianapolis. It says: The large delegations from the uthern States to attend the Indian olia convention is strnno at the Deonle of i.ht. usedjjpouthe subject of monetary Inns andre desirous nt a,,v. change as will give them 'nfjre money ' It has always been assert that the chief reason for the strength of the free coinage sentiment ia the South is that the people have been tahght to be lieve that by that means they would have more money in circulation and consequently better facilities tor doing business. "In this they have been taught er roneously by their leaders, for it is not more money,' but better banking fa cilities they need." The writer of this extract -may have intended to be honest and candid, but he views things from afar, through sectional and perhaps partisan glasses, which prevents him from seeing, things as they are and fully comprehending theT situation in the section he is talking about. It is true that one of the reasons 'for the strong free silver sentiment in the South is that the people be lieve that free silver would mean more money for them, which the Chicago luminary declares to be an "erroneous" belief This is simply st-upmn-y stupidity, however, hot Misrepresentation, even when is done by indirection or in uendo, is to be condemned, especially when it is done by a per son in exalted station, whose posi tion should put him above it, even if his sense of propriety and fairness did not. We have heretofore re ferred to President McKinley's speech at the manufacturers' $100 a plate banquet in New York, a very remarkable speech as showing how completely the gold monometallists have gotten possession of Mr. Mc Kinley since he has become Presi dent, notwithstanding his professed desire to see bimetallism established. The following is a quotation from that speech, and is , highly com mended by the gold organs: "Nothing should ever tempt us nothing ever will tempt us to scale down the sacred debt of the nation through a legal technicality. What ever may be the language of the con tract, the United States will discharge all of its obligations in the current recognized as the best throughout the civilized world at the times of pay ment. Under existing conditions our citizens cannot be excused if they do not redouble their efforts to secure such financial legislation as will place their honorable intentions beyond dispute." There need be no reading between the lines to interpret this, for it is simply an out and out declaration for gold monometallism,, as between the creditor of the Government who holds the Government's paper obliga tions, and the Government. It is but a seconding of Secretary Gage's efforts to "commit the Government more thoroughly to the gold stand ard." But it is more than that, for it is a misrepresentation of the po sition of those who contend that the Government has the legal and moral right to pay its obligations in silver if it so elect. Who proposes to "scale down the sacred debt of the nation?" Scaling down has never been advocated or hinted at. Un der the law a silver dollar is as good as a gold dollar. When one citizen pays a debt due to another does he "scale down", the debt? If not how can it be scaling down when the Government offers to its creditors the same kind of money which it says one citizen may pay to another? Is it the national debt which is "saered" or the bond holder? In view of the efforts to make him the exception and put him above all others as to the kind of money in which he must be paid it must be he that is "sacred" in the estimation would not consider a further advance of 25 per cent, a "material change." It should be noted that this trust has been formed by the manufacturers, the owners of the largest mills in the country, which leaves the paper deal ers, who sell for the mills on a commis sion, powerless to protect their cus tomers. It is believed that many of the smaller mills will not go into the combine; but that they can accom plish anything favorable to the con sumers of paper may be seriously Mr. Dingley said in his speech in the House of Representatives a few days ago, in attempting to explain the depression in the cotton manu facturing industry in his section, that the protective tariff could not protect the Northern mills from Southern competition. He was right, and what hurts him most, perhaps, is that he can't find any way to cripple this Southern com petition. But it isn't only recently that they have begun to suffer from this competition, for they began to suffer from it ten years ago or more; when the Southern mills began to get' fairly started. In speaking of the present depression the Chicago Times-Herald says: "Ever since 1886 there has been a steady decline in the dividends real ized by stockholders in New England cotton miiis. a. report or the divi dends declared by thirty-seven estab lishments at Fall River shows that the dividends paid during 1897 amounted to $772,000, which was an average of 3.39 per cent on the capital. Tfie year just closed was the worst for thirteen' years. Thirteen of the thirty seven establishments at Fall River paid no dividends at all for the last quarter of the year. This unsatisfac tory condition has been brought about by the increasing competition oft the Southern mills. Mr. Coolidge, of the Boston Journal, finds that labor in the Southern mills is 25 to 30 per cent, cheaper than in the New Eng land mills, and that they have the ad vantage of 10 per cent, longer hours. Such conditions made it necessary to cut wages in the New England mills, or go out of business." The Southern mills took away from the New England mills some lines of goods which the New Eng land mills had been largely making, thus narrowing their operations and contracting their market.

The smallpox excitement is a thing of the past Tn fact the main source of the excitement that has prevailed anyway was the untoward combination of circumstances which led to the burning of the houses on Ninth and Nixon streets. ' The expense incurred, estimating from bills approved by the Board of Audit and Finance, foots up $545.48. This does not include $125 appro priated for the payment of the public vaccinators, which makes the total ex pense to (late $670.48. But this is a trifle, if the measures taken have warded off a s- ourge of smallpox. The foregoing figurts, of course, do not in clude the loss by fire indirectly caused by the the smallpox scare, and they need not be considered as complete as there may bepther bills to come in yet. Wilmington is not the only North Carolina city that has been visited with smallpox. Charlotte had several cases and parties here have received private communications stating that there was, a case in Durham.
