We gave the facts and figures. To this The Xorth Carolinian docs not attempt to reply, but writes a lot of stuff, saying, that we slander the Southern people. The eJitor apjieals to prej udice instead of using argument; the following is a sample : "I'alsied be our hands before we ever write words so foully damning of the good people of North Carolina. Words that are not true, and that seek to put a fa'se brand upon us in the eyes of the world. Xo editor who loves his State ought to tell the people that they cannot come to North Carolina and think as they please, tor the reason that such a statement is impolitic, untrue and unlilial." Is it possible that the edi tor of The Carolinian wa ??leepla.t , m' summer and last fall ? Is he ignor ant of the intolerant, domineering and proscriptive spirit shown by the politicians and their henchmen in this State, toward every man who saw (it to read and think for himself, and exercise his right of suffrage ac cording to his own conscience. Is he ignorant of how the bosses tried to bulldoze, dominate, and browbeat every man who would not defy and denounce them at once ? Is he ig norant of how, after all this, these same political scoundrels and thieves tried to steal the votes, and pervert the will of our people who had the manhood and courage to vote their convictions in the teeth of such op position ? Yes, is he ignorant of all this, or has he turned to be the will ing tool of this element, and is he now trying to hide it all by appeal ing to prejudice and by using low demagoguery ? es we stated facts and figures. We have and can prove every statement we made. We will argue with a man who tries to anni1 in the interest of truth, but the demagogues and hypocrites, we will denounce, b urther on in the same editorial, The Carolinian says, that whenever the condition in North Carolina gets to be such as we pic ture, that the editor will leave the State. As a matter of fact he has already left the State. Was it the condition made him leave or the anxiety for public pap ? Let it be known that Mr. Daniels got his oflice in Washington from Hoke Smith, the man who hired ruffians to break up political meetings in Georgia, and throw rotten eggs when they had no argument. The time might have been when "honest Joe" would have condemned these tliirie?. but when a man is enjoying some of the fruits of a corruptly gotten vic tory, it is hard for him to see things in their true light.

Lady Macbeth Caldwell, who tried to screw up the courage of the Leg islature to the point of committing murder on the Farmers' Alliance, (the only organization that has ever given the people any practical re lief), the editor who has been hur rahing for gold bugs, has at last be gun to get religiou. In his paper a few days ago he said : "In the New York Sun of a few days ago was an interesting article upon the agricultural depression in Great Britain. The figures are given and the decline of agriculture in England appears from them to have borne a close relation, through re cent years, in the degree of its pro gress, to that in the United States. The whole world seems to be down with the same complaint farmers' profits decreasing and the value of farming lauds depreciating. The complaint is confined to no country nor to any particular section of any. The farmer on the fertile plains of Kansas howls as loud as his brother on the red hills of North Carolina. The more rapidly the world increases its population, the more mouths there are to be fed, the more manu factures multiply and the more cus tomers the farmer finds for his prod ucts, the lower the prices sink and the poorer he gets. Where is the wise man who will rise up and tell us all what is the matter ?" Is it possible that Lady Macbeth i3 not "wise" enough to tell the poor deluded calamity farmers what is the matter ? It was one time laziness, the farmers did not work ; next it was overproduction, the farmers were working too much ; and now "she" confesses "she" -don't know what is the matter. "She" is now about enough under conviction to start an Alliance school and learn the a b c's of finance. COULD BREAK THE GAMBLERS. e were UrivniL'' out across the i - - country a few days since. At every plantation we passed the jeople were at work. There was the corn field, enough planted to make a plenty aud ome to spare; there was the wheat Geld, there was the place for the pea crop, there was the place for the po tato crop, &c. And too there was the cotton field, U12 only hope of the iarmer lor any money next fall. It made our heart sad as we looked at br ave honest men toilin and sweat ing to create wealth, when we know- almost to a certainty that their cot ton will not bring next fall the cost of making. When we knew that at that very moment that the cotton gamblers in the New lork exchange were fixing the price of crop of cot ton tor next fall, then we thought for a moment how the farmers could stop work and go into the rambling s'".s for one year themselves, crush out the gamblers in Wall Street, starve the world for cotton and themselves be richer at the ex pense of other people at the end of the year. You ask if this is possi ble. Let us see. If every farmer would to-morrow plow up his cotton crop and could buy cotton futures on just as many bales as he intended to make, and do this before the gamblers found out what he was up to, he would have them beaten for once at their own game. He could stop work and go out under a shade tree and sit there all the summer and in the fall he would have seme of the nioney which the gamblers have stolen from him back into his own pocket. The situation would be that the farmers would have a contract with the gamblers to deliver about 8,000,000 bales of cotton next fall. But where could the gamblers get it when the farmers did not raise any. The price of cotton would go shoot ing up to .-20 cents a pound at least and then the gamblers not being able to deliver the cotton would have to pay the farmers the difference be tween the price they bought at 7 cents and 20 cents, which would make a clear profit of 13 cents a! pound to every farmer, not on what he did work and raise, but on what he did not raise. In short each far mer would get 13 cents a pound (for doing nothing) on what he intended to raise. It is true the world would be much poorer next fall, but the farmers would be richer. Would the remainder of the world blame the farmers if they were to do this ? If we had autocratic power, we think we wouia issue the order to-morrow to every farmer in the South and teach the remainder of the world a lesson for once. .

KOIiPAVK AM i-AKKOK. Ill tug- Pray tell us why the President of these United States goes to New York to consult a lot of gamblers and money sharks about the finan cial policy of this goyernment ? A "BUSINESS MAN'S" REMEDY. A prominent and successful busi ness man was discussing with us the scarcity of mouey at the dinner table of the Hotel Keunou a few days siuce. lie said : "1 can tell you one way that more money can be put in circulation. If the U. S. Govern ment would guarautee depositors of banks that they should not lose if the bank brakes, there are millions of dollars that would at otfC3 be de posited in the banks of the country to be loaned out.'.' We told him that while this was true (and that we agreed with him that the govern ment ought to guarantee depositors and hold the bank official responsi ble,) this would net relieve the situa tion. ' First the people who need the money worst ca,n not give the securi ty that a bank would require, and that if they could, that there are few business (certainly not farming) that can afford to pay the present rate of interest on borrowed money. The men who liave strength and muscle and who are toiling every day and creating the produce that makes the country rich are the poor men and the men who need mouey but have none. Mouey in banks do them but little good. Iu fact if they borrow it the debt will grow bigger and bigger and they will be debt ridden and interest bled all their lives. What they need is a supply of money equal to the demand. A sufficient volumn of eurreucy so that their labor and their produce will bring a good price in the markets. When this is so, they will not need to borrow money. They will simply work -for it. They work for it now but don't get it How about the law of "supply and demand. There is a demand for more money. ' The government should supply it We see it announced that the State Board of Education at its meeting on May 2d decided not to change the list of text books now in use in the public schools. These books hare been in use for several years andj have given general satisfaction. ? When the editor of this paper was. Princi pal of Salem High school V used the same text books. 1 'TV - - defending the principles of the order or advocating' the platform on which he was given w ?-onination anu ac cepted it, should seek to screen his official acts fr om iust criticism liv reciting tluu terms of an obligation. a At- 1 iir . i iu uinu, now coma .nr. t irady sug gest with any degree of accuracy that 1 had not granted "honesty of purpose and good intentions' to him, seeing that 1 had set iorth, as philo sophically as I could devise, ceitain principles tending to constrain other men to construe words aud deeds in the most favorable light?" Certainly your readers will recall that I said: "Every animal is the physiological equation of its environments- There mav be a man in the moon. but he is not like us because his sur roundings are different. These things being so by nature, who shall blame Mr. (irady for de monstrating, chameleon-like, the hue of Washington City Democracy?" in deed, I thought I had built assort of city of refuge wherein I expected un friend to lind shelter and remain, safe from the pursuit of the public wrong. But despising my "favora ble light" and magnanimous grant of "honesty of nurnose." he has nre- ferred to stand without the cate and defend himself upon his own ground. lowever rash his attempt at lustifi- cation may be thought, it is now two ate for counsel or regrets. Look ng the situation in the face, we can only inquire whether a .good run would not have been better than the stand he has taken. Mr. Grady says: "Members who have no clerks are prevented from giving proper attention to the duties tor which they are supposed to have been elected. The calls' on tliem in person and by letters for oifiees, new mail routs, postoffiees, seed, loans of money, information on almost every imaginable subject: for news and interviews by the array of correspondents in the city, and par ticularly in the Capitol, while the two Houses are supposed to be at work, not only render if impossible for them to study and to 'understand' and intelligently discuss the meas ures the people are so much interest ed in, but are a fruitful cause of what so often blocks legislation, "no quorum. ' Evidently a choice must be made between polite atten tion to individual jobs and the more serious attention to the public busi ness. The public business, it seems, is neglected for private jobs. The public pays for service it never re ceives. Private individuals receive the beuefits of the public expendi tures. Instead of doing honest serv ice for the public who foots the bill, it is the habit ot Congresssmen to receive the public funds in considera tion of private jobs, performed with the view to increasing their popu larity tor another term Ihey do this even if it causes "no quorum" and the consequent neglect of pub a -lit i oe ousmess, ana tne memoers re main too ignorant to "understand ana intelligently uiscuss the meas ures the people are so much inter ested in." They are hirelings hold ing their master's purse and work ing for their own interest to the neg lect of their mastei's welfare; men who sell and take pay for what they will not deliver, and have power to force you to pay more to obtain what you have already paid for, a sort of brigands "for the public" good," as we shall presently see. "Oncresult, says Mr.. Grady, "is that every Congress takes the ex- travigant appropriation bills of its predecessor as its model and basis of legislation, being unable to make original investigations, and often afraid to make reductions, the re sults of which cannot be foreseen." That is to saj-, members of Congress choose to be ignorant for revenue and at the public's expense. There comes also the suggestion that the public, have been fools at their own expense for continuing such repie sentatives. You gather further that the cry against Reed's Billion Dol larism in the rnsTth of Democratic Congressmen was wholly lacking in "honesty of purpose" and was ut tered "for revenue only." There can be no economy in expenditures so long as public servants are too much engrossed with private affairs to attend to public business. - "I voted, says Mr. Grady," to al low members clerks, so that they may serve their constituents more effi ciently, and save the , public money by shortening the sessions : of Cong ress. A small reduction in the "num ber of days will save more than "the clerks will cost." In view of the service we receive, his first reason is excellent. We need better service. In view of the extravagance of his Congress, his second reason is un commonly good. We need economy. But will the allowance for clerk hire shorten the session and conduce to economy!

Kead that recarkable par agraph again, and read it slow! It .-lues viol a pi car that the business of the Senate and of do-nothing com mittee. is expedited by the having of clerks. How then would the hav ing of clerks expedite the busiuess of a "do nothing" House f On the loth day of last .September, Mr. (irady, while speaking at Warsaw, said as excuse for failure in some performance contrary to northern nciiuuicui, iuui me oouin is still a conquered people." I feared then what is evident now, that Mr. Grady was a conquered man. One blast of this north wind un-nerves him polit ically, and he quietly turns and darts straws with it. The man who we uepend upon to stand in the way of the progress of evil, even if he could succeed in overcoming evil with good, attempts in his despair to over come evil with evil. He tells Us our estimate of his sturdiness was incor rect. He illustrates in his surrender the condition of "prostration with excitement," and thinks it necessary to do something, whatever that some thing may be. Here's the sentiment of Mr. Grady's explanation of his vote: When you cannot suppress an evil, help it on. When you can not suppress an evil, heln it nn When you cannot economize, extra v agate. Do something. When you cannot withstand the Persian, open Thermopyloe and ravage your coun try with them; they are no better to have undeserved booty than you. Never let unybody get ahead. of you, keep even with the foremost, even in sin. Upon such counsel, Abraham would have remained in the land of his fathers, and Paul would have be come the mouth-piece of Jupiter and Caesar's bosom friend, and to-day every lover or morality, every advo cate of temperance, every preacher of Christianity would say, "seeing we cannot abolish these evils any more man we can dart straws against the north wind, let us practice vice and drukenness and all unrighteous ness.17 Hut is not supposed that the.?- would make public the cause of tneir tall trom grace "A certain man had two sons, who were in the habit of playing cards against their lather's will, after sev , . i . . i . i A.. ci -xi lumuusi rauces iu iatner pun ished them for their conduct- .They men iouna a new place, on a log in the woods. The father in angry search of them, spied them through the bushes. Stopping a moment, he became greatly interested in the game- He walked up quietly and said to the terrified boys, "you know it's wrong to play, and I've tried hard to break you from it. But I might as well be darting straws against the north wind. So if you wilt, play, square around and deal your old dad a hand." Such is the stand Mr. (irady has taken. A good run would have been better. C. Thompson-. HOW THEY WE'RE KISIIED THROUGH. Dainty Combination of tiray ami Cirren, and of mending Mtaden of Yellow.

' Sen ator Gorman said : There were more mistakes made at the recent session of Congress than I have ever known before. But for the determi nation of the gentlemen in charge of these great appropriations, and the President, whose duty it is, under the Consttution, to approve them, we should probabljr have had no ex tra session of Congress. It is a good thing that the Demo crats have such confidence in Mr. Cleveland, they go it blind and con solo themselves with the fact that the President has to overlook "and approve as well as disapprove of what they do, and that he will give the black eye to their bad jobs. We are glad that he has firmness enough to sometimes set down on them, as was the case in the fraudulent pen sion bills passed by them, but if Mr. Cleveland is to do the legislation for'the nation, why not dispense with the service of the inembers of con gress, and thus save to the nation their saleries.

The Pension Department at Wash ington believes that it has uncartht'd stupendous pension frauds. An attorney of Norfolk- Vn named W. K. D re wry, now under arrest, is charged with securing fraudulent pension claims by the wholesale, using as his instruments, in many cases, colored women and men who could not read or write. About twelve months ago Secre tary Xoble ordered three cases drop ped from the pension-rolls that Drew ry had secured, and later on the lat ter was debarred from practice. Wheu the present Administration came into power a thorough investi gation was made into the cases that Drewry had secured, and when it was concluded a few days ago it was discovered that about M per cent, of the cases had handled under the act of June 27, 1890, were secured through the filing of false declara tions. The extent of the frauds can be understood when it is stated that ICO cases wen; granted, and that every one of them carried arrears.
