HOW THINGS LOOK FROM
OUR STAND POINT.
The ODinion of The Editor and the
Opinion of Others which we
Can Endorse on the Yarious
Topics of the Day.
SAD FIGURES
In a recent speech in Congress Mr.
Otis, of Kansas, presented seme start
ling figures, collected from the last
censui reports. There is a sad les
son to be learned from them, and It
should be a timely warning to the
people, whose rights have been out
raged, ait I shows clearly the need of
speedy reform.
He takes the sine "manufacturing"
States of Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Massachusetts, Cont.ectl
cut, New York, N. Jersey and Penn
sylvania, an i twenty-one "produc
ing" States, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa,
N braska, Alabama, Georgia, Mis
sissippi, Louisiana, North Carolina,
Florida, Kentucky, Kansas, Tennes
see, Virginia, West Virginia, Mis
souri, Ohio, Arkansas, South Caroli
na, Maryland and Delaware.
The population of the nine manu
facturing States in 1880 was 14,507,
407; in 1800 it was 17,01,505, a gain
of 2,891,133, or within a small frac
tion of 20 per cent. The assessed
yaluo of property in these States in
1880 was ?7, 559,923,915; in 1890 it
was 510,GU.G9l,G37, again of $3,054,
702,722, or 41 per cent. The per
capit-i wealth was $523 in 1880, and
in 1890 it was ?G10, a gain of $82 to
each person.
In the 21 agricultural States the
population in 1880 was 28,243,922,
nearly double that of the nine man
ufacturing States. In 1890, the pop
ulation of the agricultural States was
31,071,221, again of 5,828,991, or
slightly over 20 per cent. The as
sessed value in these States in 3880
was $G,830,554,G28; iu 1890, it was
$3,537,750,285, again of $1,698,195,
G57, or 25 per cent. The per capita
weal tlk in these States in 1880 was
242, and in 1890, the per capita
wealth was $251, a gain of nine dol
lars to each person in the agricultur
al States as against a gain of eighty
two dollars to each person in the man
ufacturing States. These f icts and
figures are given from official rec
ords.
WHAT PER CENT. AGAINST IT?
The following press dispatch has
been sent by the agents of Wall
Street, the Press Dispatch Syndicate,
all over the country:
CAROLINIANS AGAINST FREE COIN
AGE.
Wilmington, N. C, March 26.
At a meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce held to-day thefollovving
resolution ws unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That we are opposed to
the passage of the Free Coinage bill
now before Congress, and that we
consider further agitation of the sub
ject at thitiaaeas unwise and un-
polittc. We are convinced that the
measure would bring no reliet to our
farmers or to any other class of our
citizens; that it would unsettle fi
nance and depreciate values, and that
it seems plausible only to those who
expect something f jr nothing or who
have not reAlized that every honest
dollar represents a dollar's worth of
toil.
If we were to desire to count the
above and tell what a small per cent,
of North Carolina are opposed to
free coinage, wonder if we could get
it sent out as news matter.
THEIR RECORD-
For their good or evil the politi
cal parties have recorded themselves
as follows on the Silver bill:
Democratic vote for free selver 137
Democratic vote against free sil
ver 82
Democratic majority fo'rfreebil
ver Republican vote against free si!
ver Republican vote for free silver
55
67
11
Republican majority against free
silver, 56
Mr. Isaac Trumbo, a leading bank
er of San Francisco, who has made
a. special study of Silver and the
Money Question, says there is a
steady increase ia the amo-int of
business in the country, and a con
stant shrinkage in the volume of
money. He claims that at the be
ginning of the war we did a $15,000,
000,000 business, had a $22 per capita.
That last year we did a $60,000,000,
000 business, but our circalation had
been contracted to $12 per capita,
and that there was an absolute need
of more money.
THEN LETS GET BACK TO DEMOCRAT
IC PRINCIPLES.
We believe that the evils that now
afflict us are due to a departure from
Democratic principles,and that there
will come no better times until these
principles are given force and effect.

FHE CAUCASIAN
Speech of Iloii.B. F. Grady.
AN ABLE AND INTERESTING
PRESENTATION OF TRUTHS.
HIS 3IAIIEN EFFORT.
We give below a few extracts from
a speech of Hon. Mr. Grady in Con
gress last week. We wish we were
able to give it in full. It is replete
with burning truths'and facts. He
fully sustained 1m reputation a a
man of ability, and reflects credit
upon himself and his district. In
this no one who knows Mr. Grady
will be disappoiitcd, and wo feel
safe in predicting an enviable record
of our Congressman.
All the people of the Union who
gain their daily bread by the sweat
of ihtir faces have been diappoin ted
and the muttering of their discon
tent can be heard in every quarter of
tho Union. And 1 trust, sir, that
this discontent will swell in volume
until it compels the favored classes
the aristocracy of this country crea
ted by the laws of Congress to lis
ten to the cries of distress an J loosen
the shackles they have placed o the
people.
' .
The justification, Mr. Chairman,
for the contraction of the currency
by converting it into interest-bear,
ing bonds, has been that it was to
sustain the "honor of the nation."
To tt is I have to say that if my peo
ple are to be reduced to I eggary in
order to save the "honor of the na
tion, " the "honor of the nation'' is
a curse to them instead of a blessing.
The "honor of the nation" has al
ways been the excuse for oppressing
the people. The Pharisees were the
special custodians of the "honor of
the nation ;" so were the patriciaus
of Rome; so was Charles I; so were
the haughty nobility of France ; and
so are the protected and petted class
es of this country.
The farmer is the slave of the plu
tocrats, while the only limit to their
rapacity is the exhaustion of his re
sources.
In behalf of the laboring people
of this country, in babalf of the
coming generations of my country
men, in behalt the tranquility, and
general welfare of the country, in
behalf of the pet of the Govern
ment,, who are rushing along the road
traveled by the optimates of Rome,
and the haughty nobility of France,
I -implore the law-makers of this
Union to retrace their steps, to stop
the robbery of the peop.e, and re
pair as far as they can the money
power.
The poor and the helpless will be
forced to bear the burdens of gov
ernment, while the millionaire, the
banker, and corporation" magnate
will bo exempted.
:
The loanable capital in all New
England and New York is $270 per
capita; in North Carolina $6.47.
With this small sum we have to pay
our State and county taxes and more
than $8 per capita to support the Fed
eral Government.
One century of government under
the Constitution therefore, Mr .Chair
man, has been a century of injustice
to the farmers and laborers of the
of the country, and the promises of
wrong in the beginning of the Gov
ernment have been fully realized.
We have the enormous unearned
wealth in the hands of the few, will
ingly contributed or fried out, cor
rupting the voters of the country.
We see it combining in syndicates
and trusts to control the prices of
the necesavies of life. We see it
controling the transportation facili
ties and dictating ruinous freight
rates. We see it dictating nomina
tions in political conventions. We
seethe people's money squandered
in subsides to remedy the evils of
our shameless and arrogant protec
tive system.
In conclusion, Mr. Chairman, I
wish to remind those who can wear
purple and fine linen and lire on the
fat of the land at the expense of their
fellow-countrymen, that the time
may come, as the wheel of fortune
makes its inexorable turns, when
their children m?y become the vic
tims of the class legislation which
they are struggling to fasten on the
CDuntry as a permanent policy. 1 Ap

Crisp with having acted in ad faith

CHEST.
The mother of every well-regulated
household should possess a fami
ly medicine-chest. It may be in tho
form of a little corner midicine-clos-
et, that can be procured in any city,
or a simple box; but it must have a
lock and key. The case sho-ild con
tain :
A roll of old linen ; some lint ;
Some rubber adhesive plaster ;
A small glass syringe;
A few tine, soft sponge;
Some whiting;
Syrup of ipecac;
' Some linseed oil ;
A solution of bromide of sodium,
four grains to the teaspoon ful,
labeled with the name and
strength of the solution ;
A medicine tumbler.
Many of the druirs often rdcc-d
in such lists are not mentioned above,
as it is not w.'dl for the mother 'o
give medicive indiscriminately md
for every slight ailment.
THE TARIFF QUESTION
OPENED.
There is one sentence in McMil
lin's speech whon he openel the
tariff debate' before tho House of
Representatives, says the New York
Herald, which summarises the tariff
situation very forcibly :
"The laborer has been forced to
pay more for the roof thai shelters
him, for the hat that covers his head,
and the woolens that cover his back.
He has had to pay more for the linen
he wears, the hammer and hoe with
which he works. Yet his wages
have not gone up one cent. What
benefit has increased protection to
him?"
WATCH.
Be on your guard, and do not be
misled by the wily politicians, who
are seeking offices. Every effort wil I
be made this year to thwart the pur
pose of those engaged in the reform
movement. Stand nijnfully by
y ur color?, until the victory is se
cured, At this time the industrial
organizations caanot afford to do
anvthing that will invite defeat.
Therefore it behooves ewry one in
terested in the cause of reform to
fasten on the aimorfor thefight.'and
struggle with ail the strength that
you possess for the restoration of
your liberties. Ex.
NOT MUCH TO CROW OVER.
It seems that some of the leaders
of the Democratic party have" re
solved to resort to heroic treatment
to down the reform element in the
party. It may prove successful, but
in our humble opinion, if all who
advocate "Alliance heresies" are ex
cluded from the primaries, the Dem
ocratic rooster will not have much to
crow over after next election. Alli

RELIGIOUS AND SECULAR
NEWSPAPERS.
This I say in favor of our secular
journals, i hey are, as a rule, larger

REV. THOMAS DIXON HOLDS ALL LE
GITIMATE BUSINESS AS SACRED.
A rrlo ea lr. rrVhrt' War aa

faithful rreacacr'a Duty.
Nrw Yoas, April 3. Rev. Thostas
Dixon, Jr., returned to his jalpit this
morninjr after a lecture tour of two
weeks through the to! The rt-grdar
sermon of the day was preceded by a
review of current event, cntitJl "Dr.
Parkhtirst Bomb," in which moot
hearty support and approval were ex
tended to his militant neighbor, whoM
church is just across the street from
Association halL He said:
It has been t?uggtted, since the recent
explosion cf a sacred bomb from the
Madison square pulpit, that a worthy
successor to Dr. Crosby has been found
in Dr. Parkhurst by tho directors of the
Society for the Prevention of Crime.
True. And they have found a man of
aggressive power who will press the
work far beyond any point ever before
reached In its history.
DIGMTY OF a OOBPSE.
With all my heart I welcome him to
this work. I bid him Godspeed. I ex
tend to him the right hand f Christian
sympathy and fellowship. May his heart
never grow weary and his arm never
grow weak! We of course mingle our
tears with tho?e who spell their piety
with a capital P, over the fact that so
great a preacher has fallen into sensa
tionalism. This is too bad. But then,
after all, it is well to rtmember that a
dead preacher never makes a sensation.
The most dignified preacher I ever saw
was a corpse.
What response has been given to this
terrific indictment of New York's munic
ipal life?
The friends of truth and righteousness
have given generally most hearty sup
port so far as the rubbc press has
spoken.
SA3IBO AM TIIE CniCKEN.
And yet a few decent newspapers
have expressed regret that tho preacher
denounced crime so vigorously without
having in his possession documentary
evidence to fix the crime on individual
criminals! What nonsense! The fact
of crime is one thing; the fastening of
that crimo upon the individual culpri'.
is another. It is not necessary to find
feathers in tho teeth cf Sambo to know
the fact that I have lost a chicken. It
H my duty to proclaim my loss. The
fixing of guilt ia the duty of tho officer
of the law. The failure to fix that guilt
does not restore the. chicken or make my
loss any the less a painful fact.
CROEER-DIXE TEARS.
The response on the part of tho crim
inals directly attacked has been quick
and painfaL Tammany has wept copi
ouslygreat, briny, globular Crolcer-dUe
tears! Tammany weeps not at her own
sins but at the degeneracy of the modern
pulpit in falling so low as to mention
its name before a decent audience.
Well, it is rather hard on the audience;
but hard things must be done sometimes,
if Tammany's sense of tho sacred and
the worshipful is shocked!
And then the keepers of houses of ill
fame whose business has been inter
rupted by this episode have joined their
melodious voices with the chorus of
Tammany and Tammany's brilliant
hand organ hard by the city hall, and
all together these three birds of a feath
er weep a dirgo over the harm done the
morals Of tho young by this indecent
preacher! This trio weeping over the
wounded morals of the city forms a
spectacle that should bring tears to the
pavement stones of the Bowery!
PEBBLES BY THE SEA.
Dr. Parkhurst has only touched the
facts. Be might have gone ranch
farther. With the positive zeal of a
child in a new world, to whom all was a
revelation, he has only picked up a few
pebbles on the seashore of a city's
fathomless shame!
Is it necessary to prove that the sun
shines at noon because an owl hoots at
the idea? Bah!
Do we not all know that police cap
tains enter office poor and come out rich,
and grow rich on a salary barely suf
ficient for the modest support of a family?
Only last Saturday a gentleman told
me that to his personal knowledge the
police captain of his district had lived
for years in the rear of a notorious house
of prostitution, and that the citizens of
that street had appealed in vain for re
dress. To uncover these villainies is
next to impossible, because they are se
cret compacts between criminals and
those who represent the law itself.
WHO 13 RESPONSIBLE?
But who i3 really responsible for all
this? (Tammany is a minority, and al
ways has been.) The citizen king who
forgets it on the day of election. The
criminal upper classes who prove trait
ors to their country and their God by
loafing instead of voting. The men who
in their greed for personal gain what
they please to call their private busi
ness leave the affairs of the city to go
to the devil. The preachers of the pat
and present who have spoken smooth
things and cried peace, peace, when
there was no peace. The preachers
called to proclaim the kingdom of
righteousness who have been awed
into submission Ly bullies and com
manded to hold their tongues, and have
held them, and gone on whining and
cniveling and visiting old women and
children, while the world has laughed
at them as sexless monstrosities!
AD All ASD JCDAS ASD MOSES,
If for the last twenty years we had
heard less alxjut Judas Iscariot and
more about his modern successors, there
would be fewer of his ilk still holding
the bag. If we had heard less about
the fall of Adam and more about the
fall of our aldermen, the population of
Canada might have been much larger,
with corresponding benefit to us. If we
had heard less about Hoses and more
about tLo mayor, we might be nearer the
Ideal of Moses today. '
Let Dr. Parkhurst so on with his
rork. But what will come of it? The
kingdom! The kingdom of righteous
ness as lasxi cut me nsu uicu
hft found at last, not in the courts. It
will be found in the ballot box behind
those courts. A campaign for the pre
vention of crime to be efficacious must
besrin before the primaries, continue tall
the sun goes down on the day of elec
tion , and promptly begin again " ntt

Loose yourselves a little, enjoy more

A Mother's Klndaeaa..
At the convention of school Euperin
tendents in Brooklyn iliss Harrison, of
Chicago, told a touching story of the
way in which women help tach other-
how one who comes to a "mothers'
1353' brings her neighbor next time,
and shows such an eagerness for others
to share in the beneta the receives.
She spoke of one woman whose two chil
dren were in what is called the citizens'
class, in which a tuition fee of ten cents
a week for each pupil is charged. One
week this woman brought a third child,
the little daughter of a neighbor, she
explained, for whose ten cents she would
be responsible. After a week or two of
prompt payments she came one morn'
ing saying she had only fifteen cents of
the thirty needed, but would make it
op, she hoped, before the week was out.
"Annie's mother has died," eha said
simply, "and I've taken hex to bring up
along with my own."
Fancy," eaid Sliss Harrison, "a worn
an to whom a deficit of fifteen cents
meant a week's pinching not hesitating
before the care and maintenance of an
other child 'along with her own.' I felt
as if I could bend down and kiss the
hem of that woman's garment." Her
