- r V. v- f - T - E f. STANDARD ItooBD, Cabarrus Cotjnit. N. C TJRSDAY, JUNE 13, 1S95. : JAMES P. COOK - - Editor THE PROPS KSOCKED OIT. , ..The presant agitaton for the free and unlimited coinage of silver be gan at the time when the business depression resulting from the Sher man silver purchase act was at its worst The free end unlimited coinage of silver was proclaimed as the rem edy lor the ills we then endured, anu we were told that times would never get better untill that policy was adopted. The free silverite staked everything on a continuance of the hard conditions then existing. The general improvement in busi ness, the better prices in farm pro ducts and the advance in wages have knocked the force out of the argument for unlimited silver coin age. An inquiry made by Bradstreet's shows that since April 1 the wages of 178,000 employes in seventyifive cities have been substantial in. creased, the additions ranging from 10 to 20 per cent. Since the first of April work has been resumed on 227 industrial ptants.giying work to.53,400 persons whe had been idle. Bradstreet's says: "The strength and extent of the voluntary increase of wages is indeed, a most encouraging exhibi tion of the force of the underlying conditions of improvement of gen eral trade throughout the country. The price of cotton has advanced 33.3 per cent. Wheat has risen from 50 cents to 83 cents. The price of corn and other Btaple agri cultural products has increased sub stantially. Stocks have advanced, business in every department has improved remarkably and confidence ia stronger than it has been at any time in several years. With this great and steadily in creasing improvement upon us, we are nrged te'make a revolution in our b are nrged te.m quit the-Cmpany of everv progressive nation on ine globe and adopt a monetary system which is to be found only in those nations where the condition of the people is worst, wages lowest and government most insecure. Atlanta Jonrna). ix.ium pirn'. We have seen men go into con- yentions in apparent good faith. We have seen them get the man they wanted and the measures they wanted thy were pleased. We have, on the other hand, seen C go into conventions, fail to get the man or the measures they wanted they came out with anger ia their boots. This is child's play and it is not manly. We have Been all this in Cabarrus county. We have had boomerrangs to fly back at us and they have hit oe, hit us hard. We have taken up : these kicking Bteers af tearards and lionized them and made bets of them and yon have seen them befoul theii positions, their political honor and become stenches in tte nostrils of Recent politics. They cornered Congressman Bry an in Mississippi on the 11th. He spoke and spoke he thought he had the crowds with him, and he did so long as he was right The pinch came he had an answer to give he evaded it they pinned him down. Then he said. - "I was Vn, etc., etc., but will never vote against my principles." So long as -great Democratic party does as Bryan thinks it ought and squares its platform by his notions, alright. Bat whenever all do not acknowledge Aim the Eupreme leader, infal lible and all tibo he's still on deck. This is child's play. No one man is great enough, smait enough, honest enough and infallible enough to dictate to a great party. What ever the party in convention assem bled says that' the stuff and the only staff. ' COOI. HEADS ARE FEW. Men too often impugn the honest - motives of people when it comes to politics. This family .warfare was recipitated by the Democratic Ele ctive Committee assuming powers publishing to the world the position on silver. It stepy 2t Its rights ' in doing so; the result is some harsh words But when people they losettl P"0Q 8 his thintf of oalling a free , sil rente a "silver crank, and a gold j a ""sb j lock", are unbecoming to --, honest man. There are rnv ns who differ- we have known tbem all our lives and why call tbem such ugly nan.es because the; differ with us. There may be some men among us who understand it we doubt it seriously; there may be some who know a little about it; but that 99 out of a hundred, who talk learnedly and positively about the great problem before us, know absolutJy nothing about it, we honestly be lieve. Then why say ."aurk" and "shylock," etc ? - Tee Standard has said all along, it knows nothing positively about it; but we do know that sil ver monometalism will be just as bad as gold monometalism; and this is just what many people are howl ing for. The man that has advocated everything from subtreaaury to government ownership of railroads, sticking to one thing only 12 months, hasn't sense and stability enough to settle the money problem for us. We want a teacher that is not the child of circumstances, but the student of affairs the successful The inunction granted by Judge Goff in the South Carolina registra tion matter, hrs been set aside by a high conrt. This is right. We are glad of it. "Ex-Senator Butler was pleased with it eo long as he sucked at the teat and when choked off he bellowed. He's a Democrat, but not the good kind whom we all believe in and love to follow. That the majority of the Demo crats of Cabarrus county are now in clined to a belief in the Free Coinage of silver, there seems no doubt. That they believe it the panacea, is by no means the case. There is to be a hanging in Salis bury on July 25th. It will be a duet two are to ba rashed off -'to glory." The law ordered this and it is right But this perfoimance is to be public, by order of the County Commissioners. Such hangings are demoralizing and no good lesults from publicity. They are usually frolics and should the stars of the occasion preach a sermon or indulge in sober advice it falls on deaf, mocking ears. They say all clouds have a silver lining. 'Jjhe clouds that move quick, fast and jngrily over the polit'cal eky thess days are regular silver mines within themselves. . The commencement season is about oyer. Davidson and Wake Forest are winding up then all will be over. North Carolina has her quoto of schools and that all are looking up and pushing forward, is good. The delegation to the Memphis convention "honest money" is beaded by Marion Butler. The He legation irom this State is composed of Democrats, Populists and Republi cans, none of whom could run a saw mill successfully, to say nothing of the United Statef government. Kleptomania is the polite term for common stealing when the thief has money or social position, remarks the San Francisco Chronicle. The latest instance of this vice of the period comes from Paris, where a rich old collector of curios looted the Louvre and stole many valuable art relics. If these kleptomaniacs were treated like ordinary thieves we should hear of them less fre quently. Because a man has no in centive to theft except cupidity is sufficient reason why he should be more severely punished than one who steals from necessity. Traces His Death to Football. Harrisburp, Pa., June 11. S Harry Eishpauh, son of C M KithpauKh. of the international Affairs Department, died here yesterday under distressing cir cumstances. Up to last fall he was a student at the Davis Military School, in Winston, N. C. In the fall of 1893 while captaining the football team he was thrown heavily and injured in the abdomen. An abcess formed and he submitted to an ooeration, but he gradually failed and died from the injury. rnrlte 1'onntj Bay Books. JRUTHERFORD COLLEGE, June 11 Probably the most unique literary feature ever transpiring in our State occurred today when Burke county took 1,600 novels to sell. Owing to failure on the publisher's part to comply with their contract, Author T Abernethy, a year ago declined to receive a number of copies of "The Hell You Say," his second novel. Today the oOunty took them and will advertise and sell them to re cover expense of litigation. Burke county now should read his last: "In aD-1 of a Fix." . Baby was sick, we gave her Castoria.

The government Contemplates Nenl Iuk a War Vessel to Florida to Guard AffalnNt FlIllbnMtertng. - WASHixGTOK,June, 10. Officials of the State and Navy Depatments are considering the advisability of sending a war ship to guard the Florida coaBt to prevent the fillibust ering expeditions from leaving the United States for Cuba but an em barrassing question has arisen to prevent immediate action. By or deaing a vessel to guard that point of tne coast line, it is feared that this -government may place itself in the position of being held responsi ble by Spain for neglect in nut hay ing done so before. Such action, it is contended, would be a virtual ac knowledgment that the United States have failed to do their duty toward the Spanish'government with which there are friendly relations. It is also feared that even if Spain did waive the right to claim dam ages for previous neglect by this country, embarrassment would likely arise if any fUlibustering expedi tions succeeded in evading the patrol. As the matter stands the officials of the State and Navy Departmsnts think it best to go slowly, trusting in the meantime to increase vigil ance on the present revenue cutter service of the Treasury Department. THE RALEIGH TO GO. Late this afternoon Secretary Her bert . settled all doubt as to the course to be taken by this govern ment bf issuing orders to the Ral. eigh to proceed at once to Key West, Fla. She will be regained there to watch for filibusters and see that no more expeditions leave this country for Cuba with contraband or men for the insurgents. MR. BRYAN CORNERED. lie Will Sol Vote the Democrat le Ticket ir the Kationnl Platform De clares for Cold. Jacksox, Miss., June 11 Con gressman Bryan, of Nebraska, ads dressed a large and enthusiastic au dience here tonight on the financial question. His speech was the strongest ever heard in this city, the people were captivated by the power of his logic and oratory, but at the close a bombshell was thrown in the camp. One of the audience asked : "Will you support the Democratic ticket in case a gold standard plat form is adopted at the next national convention ?" Quiet fell on the great throng, Mr. Bryan paused a moment and quoted what Mr. Whitney had said about the party going to pieces in case a silver platform was adopted He was pressed to answer tte ques tion by every administrator man in the house, arid then declared : "I was born and raisea a Demo crat; I was nnrsed at a Democratic mother's breast and taught Demo cracy by a Democratic father, but will never vote 8gainst my princi ples." He was reminded that he bad not answered the question.- five hund red men were on their feet yelling at one?. The crowd had been largely with Mr. Bryan all along but was not prepared to endorse his answer. He said: "1 am as certain the Democratic convention will adopt a double standard platform as I am that I am standing here, but if it does not, if the single gold standard is adopted, I would die in my tracks before I would vote the ticket." The administration men, the "gold bugs," as they are called here, went wild with delight. They knew their free silver friends would not endorse that . Bort of politics. Mr. Bryan simply spoke for himself. The Democrats of Mississippi will vote the Democratic ticket no matter what sort of money the platform may demand. a true'bili Holland Indicted for Embeszlement Two Counts in Oue Bill. Yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock the grand jury returned a true bill against J R Holland for embezzlement. He is indicted for embezzlement in two counts, both in the same bill, charging the amount at $50,000 in each count. In other words there is but one bill of indictment which is for embezzlement. This bill con tains two counts, each count being simply for embezzlement in the sum of $50,000 one in general terms ; the" other specifying the kinds of money embezzled. On3 simply charg ing money of the value of $50,000 to have been embezzled ; the other charging it to hae been gold, silver, and paper money. Charlotte Ob server. . or Over Fifty Years.

Washington, June 10. Secretary Hoke Smith, who returned upon the death of Secretary Gresham from a trip to Georgia, feels much en couraged by the evidences he dis covered in that State of the gradual subsistence of the silver craze. Mr. Smith said to a representative of the Sun today ; "There are men in Georgia now defending the policy of sound money who were talking sil ver sixty days ago. I Ond men who are working for'salaries are begin ning to wonder how the free coin age of silver could benefit them, and are discovering that to reduce the purchasing power of the dollar would be like reducing their salas ries. Riding one day in the smok ing cr of one of the local accomo dation trains into Atlanta, I .found a party of railroad men discussing the question, and each of them had concluded that free silver would be a disadvantage. This is but an indication of the change that h taking place in the 6entimeht of the Southern people. My personal obseiyation has been limited to Georgia, but from the re ports received frcm other sections of the country I judge that the same thing is occurring elsewhere. I do not mean to eay that Ihtre is not a strong Bilver sentiment in Georgia, but I do not think ny one will deny that the cause of sound mepey has made great gains during the last two months." Mr. Smith wesaoked whether the Memphis convention had produced any effect in the South. He replied "Its effect has been good, uudoubt. edJy, but many of the Southern peo pie would haye been better pleased if the convention had declared in favor of the repeal of the 10 per eent tax npon the State banks. The South wants more money for local use and believes it can best be secur ed through the State bauks. I be lieve that the repeal of this tax would eliminate the silver question from politics in Southern States." Died From Excitement. One night last week Gary Adams, of Mt. Airy, was on hie way to jail with Long Johnson, who bad been sent up from a United States Com missioners Court. When near Dole son they got out of the buggy foi some purpose, and as they were gets ting back in, Adams on one side and Johnson on the other, the latter sud denly remarked : "Well, Mr. Adam?, I must leave you,"iirtd made a break for the wocila. Adams, leaving the horse and bueyy, followed, and they hud a race through the woods. They had run 8 hundred yards, when Johnson struck a tree with such force as to be completely knocked down, and Mr. Adams ran over him. Adams collared him and led him back to the road, where it was fonnd the horse had run away with tie buggy, and with his hand in Johns son's collar Adams landed him safe to jail. The horse had eucceeded in freting himself from the buggy and had stopped at the stable. A negro man named Burrell Grogan, aged 70 years, heard the horse pass his house and came out and followed it for some distance. Returning home he was taken sick and died next morning at 6 o'clock of heart failure, probably a result of the ex citement of the night before, eays the Mt. Airy News. Mr. Black welder Home. Mr. James Blackwelder, son of Mr. A J Blackwelder, of this city, who several months sgo accompanied Mr. Charles Blunie to Greene county, Indiana, for the purpose of settling down and farming, is home again His reason for returning to (he old North State is that that part of the country did not please him. He states that the streams are all dry ing up, the crops burning up, that times are hard, money close and the water from wells very scarce, . and what is to be had is very offensive to smell and taste. The pure, crystal waters of North Carolina and the bounuful crops of Cabarrus will fetch 'em every time, and we are glad to have Mr. Blackwelder back, a more content if not a wiser man.
