Under the above caption th Balti more Sun says: ' The contention recently made ' in Moody's Magazine, that the .greatly increased supply of gold the output in 1905 was four times that of 1885 must have the effect of depressing the price of bonds and increasing the price ot stocks, has attracted much atten tion. Moody's allows that the factors affecting the price of bonds and stocks are numerous and. that the overabun dance of gold is only one cause now in operation among many. iut ft is received a cent from the Government for his services in the Isthmian canal. y Well, then, the Government ought never to have employed him. Gra tuitous public officers Are a scandal in a free government. They are apt to be put forward by designing third parties to act as spies and promoters. If the usage is permitted to grow it will not be long- before every public office is filled with the hireling of I some schemer in, the background, but who boasts that he has never charged the Government a penny. - - COMMON CARRIER AND DEALER. The decision of the .United States Supreme Court in the Chesapeake and Ohio coal case is valuable be yond its immediate scope; for it draws attention to the difference be tween creatures of the law which en joy the special privileges conferred moving spirits in the organization of the Rtileigh and Pamlico Sound Kail road, and was president of the com pany until it was recently sold out to the company of which Mr. C O Haines is the head. Captain Turner is highly esteemed in Kolcign.and his many friends are gratified that he is to construct and have practical di rection of the short line between Ral eigh and Charleston. . The Raleigh and Charleston. Rail road will develop a fine section, of country and will soon place Raleigh in close connection with Fayetteville and Lumberton,.. two of the chie towns in the southern section of the State. It will traverse territory rich in timber and will go through one of the finest -trucking sections of the South. ; , Raleigh is destined to be an im portant railroad centre. . by railroad charters, and private busi- an important fact, an 1 the price of nesses which possess no such share in New York city bonds is quoted to the power of the State. This decision show its effect. "New York city has been able," says Moody's, "in past years, to market i and even 3 per ' cent, bonds above par. As its 3 per cents are now below par, Comptroller Metz has announced that the next issue will bear interest at the rate of 4 per cent." The Boston I'Transcript also "directs attention to a condition which is becoming more or less com mon in our larger American cities." Not every authority, however, will concede that gold is already a drag in tlie market. Our Baltimore contemporary was one of those Democratic newspapers which joined the Clevelandites in 1896 and helped to defeat the Demo cratic candidate, on the silver issue. Four years later, it so far saw the er ror of its course in 1896 that it gave Mr. Bryan its hearty support in 1900. We did not understand that its change was due to any change of its views concerning silver, but ' .-cause, true Democrat at heart as it was, it real ized that the Democratic platform, even with free silver, was far to be preferred to the rule of Republican- .....ism, with its trust-breeding tariff, its executive usurpations, its. repression, oi popular rights, and its imperialis tic policies. "Is gold declining?" Why, of course it is. It isn 't worth much over half what it was in 1896. That is to say, it will not buv much over half what it would buy then. Of silver, the then despised "commodity," it will not buy more than about t,wo; thirds of what it would buy then The ground upon which the editors of the excellent Sun and so many other good Democrats were seduced by Mr. Cleveland into condoning "the crime of 1873" and by the Mc Curdys, Hydes, Hamiltons and Mc- Calls, who made his defection efficient by misusing their sacred trust fund: was the proposition that two wrongs do not make a right; and that, while it was true that millions of happy homes had been ruined by the doub ling of the value of the coin of re demption without compensation to the debtor, it would entail disaster too colossal to restore the value of the constitutional coins as they were be fore 1873. Now, behold ! In less than a de- cade, in the providence of God and by aid of the progress of science, gold is produced in such increased quanti ties that the total equals the total of both gold and the despised silver combined, in the first year of the de cade; and by these agencies, which no man will dare call dishonest, that has been accomplished which the Cleve- " laqitKes and Republicans declare3 in 1896 would be robbery, theft and the beginning of anarchy ! Again com merce thrives; agriculture is making the farmer rich; towns have sprung np where not long since were old fields; cities are doubling in wealth and population; and railroad building, which; but the othtflt day, seemed ode of the lost arts, is seeking in all di rections to bring together these new and renewed communities. Unfortunately, this tendency to re store the conditions precedent to 1873, cannot restore what was lost forever then most of the millions of broken merchants and half starved farmers, who went down under the blight of the theft of the greedy money chang ers, of thirty years ago, are beyond help now, though their children have measurably come to their own' again. No, gold is not a drug in the mar ket; but, as credit implies debt, and the person capable of giving credit would starve if he had not the correla tive of a money-earning debtor; as the liquidation of old debts and the multiplication of new debts, is made easy by cheap gold Providence and science have done the world a good turn when dividends increase and the values of bonds decrease. has been lucidly commented upon by the Chicago Tribune, which says : A common carrier in interstate commerce must not engage, in trade. A railroad which transports..; coal grain -and other commodities must not tratlic in them. That is the logi cal conclusion of the decision of the United States Supreme Court in the Chesapeake and Ohio case.- . The principle is a sound one, and public policy demands that it be made a rule of action. The common carrier and the mer chant do not stand on the same foot ing. The one carries on a public and the other a private -utility. The rates and methods of the one are subject to governmental control, and those of the other are not. There are potent reasons whv the one should not be aftowed to encroach on the domain of the other. To the extent that the common carrier traffics in commodi ties, especially in those it transports, it places itself outside of Government control and is enabled to evade with greater ease the laws governing the subject of transportation. 11 a railroad were to establish grocery in a city it served, that store would have a manifest advantage over its competitors. The road could rvi. the freight rates on the goods it earned on jts own account and offer them for sale at prices which would drive competing stores to the wall. u Hat would be true 01 groceries is true of coal. If a railroad were permitted to be both common carrier and buyer and seller of commodities, it would, as the Supreme Court says, be able "to concentrate in its own hands the products which were held for ship ment along its lines and to make it. there, the sole purchaser thereof and the sole seller at the place where the products weie to be marketed in other words, to create an absolute monopoly." A railroad should stick to its legitimate business. It should not attempt to become a dealer also and thus combine functions which cannot safely be united. The Lincoln (Nebraska) Journal has this to say to much the same effect: suppose a railroad company is to choose a location for its shops. The official who has the deciding power owns property in one town proposed; none in the otheT. Our knowlege of numan nature enables ns to guess wnerc the shops will be located. Sup pose further than the town where the official owns property is a rival of another town, and that same official has the making of freight rates for both towns. We would not be sur prised were some mysterious influ ence to make the one town grow and the other to decay. Suppose that a railroad manager owns a stone quar ry, and that a citizen at the station next on the line has stone land which he wished to develop. It might easi ly happen that the railroad would be unable to furnish the citizen with a side track to his quarries. Suppose a raiiroaa manager is interested in an elevator line. The temptation to create a shortage of cars for the in dependent elevator would certainly be great. At times it has seemed too great to resist Suppose the railroad or one of its influential officials owns a coal mine. We should certainly not line to be in competition with this mine. In fine, law or no law, it is against the public interest that a railroad or any of its managers should De interested financially in any prod uct mat it carries or in munity that it serves. 11 is surprising, when one comes to think that but ten years have elapsed since the promulgation of the so-called radical Chicago Democratic platform of 1896, how much of the spirit as well as the letter of that great chart of popular rights has found vindication at the hands of the most conservative branch of the government. It is not out of place here to reiter ate again the opinion, several times expressed by us heretofore, that the deeper we get into this great railroad problem the more evident it becomes that equity can be enforced onlv THE VERY TRUTH. Raleixh News ud ObMnrar.)" There has not been a time since the Richmond and Danville crowd (now the Southern) determined to possess itself for a song of the railroads built by the people of North Carolina that it has not sought' to control the offi cials in this State. And, truth to say, they have too often been able to do so, thanks to the' control they have had and still have of a por tion of the press. If a story could be written and a statement of the rail oad money spent to make public sentiment in North Carolina to justi fy the rrabbintr of the railroad diod- erty belonging to the State it would astonish the people. Few public men dared to defy that power and those who did defy it had little sup port in the poorly paid press. The late Governor Vance was the only man in the eighties who defied their de termination to dictate the policy of the State, and though the people stood by him and showed that at heart they will always stand by a courageous man who stands for the nght, most of the politicians and pa pers of that day were conspicuously silent or "deprecated" the severe words ot Governor Vance ! In 1881, writing to a friend, Governor Vance said :' The man who undertakes to fight such a monopoly as the R. & D. Rail road Company , needs much patting on the back. The trouble in this contest is that nearly all the papers are under obligations of one kind or another to the railroad and will not aid me unless a strong pres sure is brought to bear on them from the people. Already I have received papers that in a sly, equivocal way have tried to turn the issue and weaken my appeal to the people. Many of them, will hot copy it and some again will garble it. In this respect my hands are tied, for I can not make war on the press ! And they need stirring up ! "The monopoly will undoubtedly make a bitter personal war upon me and they will undoubtedly accomplish their selfish ends if the people are not aroused at once. . . . They will have possession, body and soul, of the Observer here, (Charlotte), the Asheville Citizen, the Greensboro Patriot and some others of lesser importance." The attempt to destroy Vance failed because he had won the heart and confidence of the people so completely that the monopoly, even with their newspapers and politicians, could not shake it. Besides there were brave editors and politicians who stood with ance. If he had not won in war and in 1876 the confidence of the peo ple, the monopoly press and politi cians would have completely destroy ed him, as they have destroyed many men just as good who lacked his great ability and his power to make the people see that he was fighting their battle. What we need in North Carolina to-day is a public leader who will defy the trusts and monopolies that still seek to control and dominate.

To the-Democracy of the Fourth Judicial District: I am very glad to learn that Mr. A Hall has definitely decided to be come a candidate for the Democratic nomination for solicitor of this dis trict. .He is a prominent member of the bar of Cumberland county, and is well qualified to hll the position in every sense of the word. Young, en ergetic, aggressive and fearless, with a determination to succeed in what ever he undertakes; failed with burning love for his chosen profes sion the law and well able to up hold the majesty of the law, some thing all law-abiding citizens desire to see, he would make an ideal solici tor. A true and faithful Democrat. one of the fearless fighters in Cum berland for Democratic success, he certainly deserves recognition at the hands of the Democratic party, we have known Mr. Hall from boyhood. He is certainly a self-made man. His chances in earlv bovhood to get an education were not the best by any means, his parents being poor, having to work for a living, and not able to send him to school, as they desired. Hut, nevertheless, go to school and study his books he would. In spite of obstacles and poor chances, that same determination wasapparent in the boy that has marked the man in after years. Being exceptionally bright and apt in books, he always led his classes in whatever school he went to and soon became the pride of nis teacuers. He worked, taught and went to school, and worked his way onward and upward in a manner that would have caused fainter hearts to give up. But his ambition was to get an educa tion and study law, and no obstacle could stop him. The old saying is so very true in his case till we quote it here without fear of its being ques tioned: "He was not born with a silver spoon in his month." He surely is a self-made man, one of those men that obstacles and oppo sition spur on to success just the kind of a man for solicitor. K Should the Democracy of this dis trict see fit to nominate him for the responsible position of solicitor, they in after years would feej proud of the vote they cast for him. Therefore, we ask you to vote for him in the con yention, and Eastern Cumberland 1 ! . . . ... . ' wuere ne as Deal Known., will enve him such a majority that it "will make the welkin nng" and give Re publicanism "a black eye" it would carry for a long time. Yours for a rousing Democratic majority next fall. Jack, RAEFORD NOTES, hy some ot the national repre sentatives in Congress have not grasped the opportunity of winning fame and the gratitude of millions by introducing and pushing through bill for a revision of the postal laws, is a conjecture. By . comparing our laws with those of other countries you will see at a glance that ours are the poorest, the most inefficient, the most unjust und altogether out of keeping with the nation s progress on othen lines. They are rather in keeping with the old stage! lines and "horseback" pouches as transporta tion, than palace cars operated by steam and electricity. In Germany. for instance, ' you can -send four pounds ot any merchandise, even to a beef steak, 'by mail for about twenty five cents; here that amount will cost you sixty-four cents. There the mileage is considered; here it is the same for one mile as three thousand, and with these notorious high rates; the department does not clear ex penses. 'But the "righi' in every thing will surely "come to" the top," even if kingdoms have to be over thrown to accomplish it, and no doubt a revision of -both- the postal and tariff laws will take place after awhile. - Let us hope that the day is not far distant when there will be a change in the closing exercises of the pri mary and high schools. From our view point, there is entirely too much flaunting of young children before the public at this season. Too many recitations, too many drills,, etc. It makes the child precocious, saucy, pert, and robs childhood to a large degree of that priceless jewel, modes ty. , The old adage, "children should be seen,, but not heard," is passing into desuetude, and now the whole "fix is brought forward time and again until they become just a little too familiar with the public- And there is another important side to the subject: all this training and drilling, wnicn comes out o: school hours, is wearing the over-worked teacher al most to death. They have enough to try the patience of Job, with the usual wear and tear of the school room, and all this extra work comes, too, at a season wuen nerve torce is at its lowest ebb. ine young (Jomancnes (the tu- venile members of this household) have been in the throes of measles and croup, for once their hilarious young spirits have been down to zero and sleep was out of the question under this roof. What, with the gar den to reset, the hens to set, the young chickens to "take off, " the orchard pruning and the last "hog- killing" of the season to superintend, etc., etc., and by night the distress ing wail of three croupy youngsters resounding through the house till the dawn of day, we feel like we had, luueeu, weathered a storm, and our Dark was now drifting in placid waters beneath an azure sky. As changeable as an April day is an old saying that is destined to become obsolete from the way the winter months are playing hide and seek with the thermometer. Today we may be on the veranda enjoying summer's balmy breezes, and to morrow chilled by a regular Texas norther. Rev. W. J. Fulford. of the Baptist church, occupied the pulpit of the Presbyterian church Sunday morn- ng in the absence of the pastor, preaching very acceptably to a large congregation.
