2 A SILVER CONVENTION MR. SMITH SAYS THE CALL IS MEETING WITH A HEARTY RESPONSE. THE OBJECT OF IT IS TO CONFER And to Get All Advocates of Bi-met allism and Opponents of Gold Mono metallism Together so That They May Consult as to the Best Methods to Secure the Remonetization of Sil ver—lt Will be Composed of Men of All Political Parties. A News and Observer reporter called yesterday to see Mr. Ed. Chambers Smith to ascertain the facts in regard to the proposed silver conference. The young silver leader, whose hair is sil vered at the ratio of 16 to 1, was read ing a pile of letters from silver men who vfere in favor of the proposed confer ence. “Mr. Smith, how is the call for a sil ver convention progressing?” asked the News and Observer reporter. “The tentative call is meeting with a hearty response all over the State. I am informed that in several towns no bank officers are signing, and that among all classes the idea of a gathering of bi metallists is meeting with hearty appro val. The truth is that our people are so earnest in their desire to secure the re monetization of silver as it existed prior to 1873, when Senator Sherman, at the in stigation of his British clients, got in his blighting work, that they grasp the op portunity of indicating openly their desire.” “What is the object of the Conven tion ?” “The object is to get all advocates of bi-metallism ai*d opponents of gold monometalism together, so that they may consult as to the best methods to be adopted to secure the re monitization of silver; and so while the convention is called by Dem ocrats and under Democratic auspices, the doors are opened for all advocates of free silver coinage to gather together and deliberate about the fate of the white metal. The action of the conven tion will not bind any one; it will not sunder any old ties, or forge any new ones; but it will in no uncertain tones demonstrate to those politicians, who propose to throttle the people’s will, the futility of their efforts. It will be a negativing object lesson to taose who de clare that our State can be held for gold monometallism.” “When do you think the Convention will be called ?” “That has not been decided. I, you know, am not leading this movement, but am simply sending out the call at the instenee of leading Democrats here and elsewhere; who think it wise to have the meeting. “The convention will be a convention of the people, with no boss or leader, and called for the purpose of full discussion. Such men as Gov. Carr, Sup’t. Scar borough, Judge Mcßae, S. A. Ashe, W. H. Day, Armistead Jones, N. B. Brough ton, W. N. Jones, F. 8. Spruill, B. 0. Beckwith, 8. G. Ryan, S. F. Mordecai, E B. Barbee, W. C. Stronach and many other prominent Democrats are leading this movement here in Raleigh, and un less all signs fail, in a short time a large majority of the leading Democrats of the State will be heard from in advocacy of the movement. It is pretty well understood that those who have a connection with the administra tion, or for other reasons are goldites, will do all in their power to deter silver men from advocating the movement, but they will not deceive the people, who will feel sure that those who are not dis posed to openly express their views in a gathering of this sort, are not at least warm supporters of the white metal. They will argue that ‘By their fruits ye shall know them.’ ” “Do you expect any persons other than Democrats to attend the Convention ?” “Yes; we expect all friends of bi metal lism, irrespective of party, to attend. It is not to be a partizan meeting, but rather an economic gathering, and all persons who are ‘opposed to the single gold standard’ and who believe in the ‘free, independent, unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the ratio of 16 to I,’ are included in the call. We expect a large crowd. What the people want is some evidence of sincerity on this ques tion. Platforms, as made by parties, are regarded as only made to be broken, and the earnestness of those who favor bi-metallism can be shown to great ad vantage in this convention. The people are in earnest in this matter; they are tired of paying five bales of cotton in settlement of a debt that two bales would have settled when the debt was made; they are tired of paying they British bondholders five days of labor where they promised to pay two. They thiuk that it will be better to pay two days ot labor or two bales of cotton where three of each was promised than to have to pay five where two of each was promised. The people will be at this convention, and the various party leaders will also lie there, because they wish to benefit the masses, and they know that the best means of helping them is to restore silver to its ancient place as ‘the people’s money.’ I have had applications from various parts of the State for the ‘bill’ to be signed, from those to whom none were sent, and I think you can safely say that there is as great unauimity of sentiment in favor of this movement as ot an*’ that has started in the State in many a year. “The control of our national finances, by a syndicate of foreign bankers, will not be tolerated by our people. “The Democratic masses are over whelmingly in favor of the restoration of silver. The opportunity is to be af forded to give expression to this senti ment from the control of ex‘raneous in fluence. “Os course, iu expressing these views, I am only speaking for myself.” Hood’s Pills become the favorite ca thartie with every one who tries them. 25c. per box. WEEKLY WEATHER CROP BULLETIN. The reports of correspondents of the Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin, issued by the North Carolina State Weather Service, for the week ending Saturday, August 24tb, 1895, are very favorable. The week was slightly above normal in temperature, except Wednesday aud Thursday, which were cool with abun dant rains. The rain-fall, though gen erally beneficial, was slightly injurious to cotton and tobacco, causing some shedding in the former and rough growth in the latter. Cotton is still two weeks late, and not a boll ope a yet. Tobacco markets very active. Farmers preparing land for wheat. Late Irish potatoes are not coming up very well. Eastern District.— Reports from this district are generally favorable. There was, perhaps, a little more rain than actually needed, but the rains of Wed nesday and Thursday were generally beneficial. The temperature was above normal, except on the 21st and 22d, which were cool. The amount of sun shine was, perhaps, a little below the average. The week closed fair and very favorable for all kinds of work. Fodder pulling going on, and the bulk of it will be saved next week. Late corn fine. Cotton has too much weed, and gener ally not much fruit. Some reports of shedding were received this week. Tur nip planting going on. Tobacco cures continue fine, and markets everywhere in full blast. Second crop of Irish pota toes not coming up very well. Yield of scuppernong grapes good. Central District.— The past week was very favorable, excepting perhaps too much rain on Wednesday and Thurs day, but the fair, warm weather follow ing *i)l prevent any c a urge; al coh are doing well. Some correspondents say cotton is now fruiting well, but it is still about two weeks late, and there is some shedding and some rust. Not a boll is open yet, while the first bale was marketed about the middle of August last year. Fodder pulling will soon be gin in the central and northern parts of the district. There has been a little too much rain for tobacco to ripen well, rough growth caused Hitherto cures have been good. Turnips still being planted and of crops cf wheat, rye and clover under way. Western District —A very favora ble week with plenty of rain, putting land into excellent condition for fall plowing. Rainfall a little injurious to cotton and tobacco, but corn, clover, pea-vines and other crops were much benefited. Farmers are doing much plowing for wheat and still planting turnips; early planted are growing nicely. Cotton is reported at a number of places to have improved considera bly, though still about two weeks late; it needs dry weather to mature aud open bolls. Tobacco is ripening slowly, with Erospects for a good crop: curing will e under way next week. Fodder-pull ing is not yet general. The only thing feared for corn is freshets on the streams. _____________ HOOD’S PILLS cure Liver Ilia, Biliousness, Indigestion, Headache. A pleasant laxative.

The Spectator of (of N Y) tables for 1895 have appeared, showing the rat e of interest earned t>y the 27 leading life insurance companies They show that the Union Central Life Insurance Co., of Cincinnati, O. raiio for 1894 is 7.01 per cent, against 5 66 per cent, the highest, of any other com pany, and 4.99 per cent, the general aver age This is an extraordinary showing for the Union Central, being 1 35 per cent above the ratio of any other company. That is to say, on an equal amount of money invested the Union Central earns as much as the best of the other companies and nearly one fourth more Extending the comparison for twenty years, from 1875 to 1894, the average of the Union Central for all that time is 666 against 6 53, the highest of any other com pany, and 5.58 the general average. The Union Central average percent of death claims for thirteen years, compared to mean amount of insurance in force, has been 0 65, or 65 cents for each L undred dol lars insured. The lowest aver ge of any other company has been 0 78 and the high est 2:10. The average of the twenty four other best companies has been 1.86. The above are the vital points of man agement in a life insurance company, and from the actual records we can grant all any other company claims and still have a margin left in our favor. The results of high interest and low death rates are for the benefit of the in sured. By i hese excessive virtues the old Union Central (now with mo e than #13,- 500,000 assets) has been for over eight years paying the full face of their policies to those who insured with us from 18 to 24 years ago, though they paid ns but the same premium usu siiy collected for a pol icy payable only at <teath. We paid over #125,000 in 1894 to the living holders of these policies, so we have thoroughly de monstrated that you do not have t) ‘ die to win” a cheap life rate policy with the Union Central, though our rivals for 15 years claimed it could not lie done by any company.
