Different Directions. 1 i is amusing to watch the straggles I ofjtho silverites with their friends and allies, the Populists and . other . fiat nibhey advocates. As tho'men who be lieve in making a dollar -half silver and hftlf fiat findtheir rarincipal support among belieteW in dollars wholly fiat, tHjDy try to avo4 offending the latter by opposing unumitea greenpacKs ana bim- illr cheap money schemes. But an at- tchipt to convert the Populist party to a platform of the-single plank of ! free wjnage at 16. to 1 has split that party in tFo wings, which are nQW getting ready td fight each other. The men. who want government iloans on ; land and farm products wiu not be satisfied with a correney scheme'iivhich will only benefit the silver mine owners. While the su-. verites fear to indorse the wild money notions of the Populists lest they drive aay supporters who are not ready to swallow all jthe third party s nostrums, the. Coxeyites are poking fun at them as ffljjen who have not the courage t6f ollow tlieir cheap dollar arguments td their laical end Populism. The result will be that the silverites V'ill have to decide between such of taeir followers who really believe. that free silver would give us sound money and those who want unlimited issues of cheap.money based on nothing. If they decide for the latter, they will lose the eikpport of all the believers in common Bonesty and: property rights who have been deceived into f avoring free coinage. H they go) against fiat paper money, tihey will lose the aid of the Populists. In either case the cause of sound money will gain. ;''-..".-. ,: The Safe Basis For Silver Coinage. ; A sign tha the silverites are begin ning to realize that - free coinage at 16 p 1 is an impossibility is f oundln the fiemand by some silver organs for the pinago at that ratio of all silver pro duced in : the United States. But this cheme is just as absurd as the proposal to open our mints to the world's stores lis silver. . No tariff would be able to iieep foreign silver but of this country if It was valued here at a higher rate than Its commercial value, r Even though the importation" of bullion was prohibited, it would be easy to bring in silver table- varn. etc.: which would be melted Idown. The idea of coining all United States silvetwill not stand examination. iThe only safe basis is to coin as much as isan be maintained at a parity with gold. Ajs soon as bur supply bf the latter metal increases to a proper amount we may Wntnre to coin more silver. But not till then. ' I . - 7 Ii' Want Silver Monometallism. ; 'j Some of the silverites are profuse in If heir protests that they only want bi- intallism i and do not wish to cease fusing gold as a standard of values or to 'drive it out of circulation. But'it ia ihrrfv iififlessarv to read - the papers and Isneeches m.whioh the iree coinage aoc trine is . preached to see mat, wniie pre tending to favor using gold, they really : ' . . , t 1. i fwant silver, alone. The wnoiesaie ae nunciation of gold as "money of tbe t;m ' p.st I " standard which robs debtors for the, behent or creaitors,. u etc , 6hows that it is ' not merely love Uf kHvpt. bnt hatred of srold, which inspires tliese attacks. Why not. be hon est, Messrs. Silverites, and admit that in ndvnfatniEP a nolicV whzcn, on ine confession bf that eminent bimetallist, President E. B. Andrews, "would drive all our cold, out of tne country, you are working for the silver standard? . ;Dld You Ever ThlnK vour cannot be well unless That you cannot be well unless you have pure, rich blood?

Carter was riding fast on a Dicycie when he.rah into a tree with such - vio lence that the saddle spring broke and penetrated his abdomen. - He was thrown off, got up and walked about 100 yards, and then fell unconscious A doctor tied up the arteries, but Carter died in si half hour from loss ofblood and the shock. '..'v '''h 'arpJn babies He Is Right Glad That Women Love Them ' So Marti. That was which said : a pretty Persian rhyme ;"A new-born child lav crying : . while all around were-smiiing ; An aged man was dying.- And peacefully was smiling nlle ail around were crying." Sir verse: William Jones put . it in better On parent knees, naked new-born child Lay weeping, while all around 5t smiled. 8o live that, sinking in thy last Ions sleep Calm thou raayst smille while aU around . thee weep." . Vhat is more vonderful or more beautiful than the material instinct what an attraction . does a birth .in the family have, for all the ses-r-the women and children, girl children I mean the men "and the boys show no great con cern. The babes would . have a hard and perilous time if entrusted to them. Babes are Born every day, every hour, by the thousand. It is the most com mon and universal event that , eohcejns our humanity. It is more common, than death, for more, come into the world than go out it every year, and yet the excitement of a birth goes : on and ia,a big thing with matrons and with maids. ;; For a few days past I have eat in my veranda and ruminated, for the women come and go and the neighbors send flowers and kind messages and the girl children come to see the baby, and the tiniest one wants to hold it in her arms. Verily, it looks like, this was the first- and the last -: one that ever jvas born. The three great events of "our life, our birth and marriage and death, are ministered, too by woman. What a sad affair would either be without her presence, her care and sympathy. The wonder is that she can go. through the ordeal that providence has assigned her, and be so contented, so calm and serene. What ; mother ever harbors gloomy fears or forebodings about her infant child ? How hopeful they look upon the future--how happy in the love of her offspring. -The poet says: "A mother is a mother stilL s ; The holiest thing alive." - And she is. I wish that I was as good, as true and aa loving as the average mother in this land. I wish that I was as sure of heaven. Most of them have a child up there, and they still treasure every' smile, every dimple,' every song, and in their waking dreams. realize what the poet so beautifully said : ".On, when a mother meets on nigh The babe she lost in infancy, V i Hath she not then for pains and fears, i The day of woe, the watehf ul night, 1 i For all her sorrows, all her tears j An overpayment of delight V . The maternal instinct !. The never fading love of children. My wife is serenely happy now for there is another child to look '.after, and she moves around with her old alacrity. I used to help her .with her own, but my time is out. As old man Caltfer said after the first battle of Manassas. "I thave fit enough." I used to tote the little chap around the room sometimes half the night ,and sing my little song until I wore it out, and at times I felt, like the tired parent who hugged ! his little boy to his bosom and said : "I wouldn't take a million dollars for you no I wouldn't but I would give a nickel for another." It is a weary busmess nursing . and caring for , a little child. But it is a part of the bargain, and has to be done, and it has its rewards. The more the father helps with the children the better he loves them and. the more they love him.-. The country people, as a rule, have no nurses for their children except the members of the family, and their devotion to the little helpless ones is beautiful. The baby in . a country home is common property. 'All nurse it and the father does his share when he comes from the field. Go to a coun try church" on Sunday and 8ee how many-fathers are .not ashamed to "tote the child'' and keep it while7 preaching j is going on. Why shouldn't he? It shows his love to the child and his7 loy alty to his ' wife. The average 'farmer has notji very wide- field for his ambi tion. ; He is not seeking fam'e or office or riches. He has no longings for going to New York or Washington or crossing tne ocean, rtis nope ana ire sire is limited to his family and his farm and he looks to God for rain and sun shine. There is nothing that weans' htm from his wife and children or that gets between him and them. Sometimes he takes tbe family to town in the big wagon, and somtimes the ehildren go with him to the mill, and onbundays all go to meeting, and so the weeks" and months roll on proving the truth oi the poet's lines " " 0 v - "Happy the man whose wish and care A few paternal acres bound." j It is eiven to but few men in this world to do any' great thing, but all can be happy if they will be content with their humble lot. I used to envy the rich and great, but I do not now. As a ereneral rule grief and sorrow are the Derqui8ities of riches and of ' fame Great men are rarely blessed with, loving children. Not lone aco one of our noblest men found himself face to face at Delmonico's with a drunken' son His mortification was intense and the lines of trouble still linger on , his face The: pressure of public affairs Tand the oonstant Struggle to keep up socially and politically - consumed - the' time that should haye been devoted to his ; chil dren.; In such cases the mother is their bnlv'safeguard. She may do all she can, but ishe cannot watch her boys when they get in their teens. She can love and pray and chide, but still they will stray away. It is pitiful to see the hreakinc of a mother's heart over a son who is on trial for his life. How Closely does she cling to him when all the world is against him.- I remember once widow who sold her cow and her- little furniture and then went from- store to store beeeink for a little more money to take her to Arkansas to see her son who was in jail for murder. - Her devotion saved his life, but not hia : liberty, and she was thankful for she found some work near bv and could visit him in his prison and comfort him with her lnvei and blessiner. .What an awful thing it must be to have no one to love you, and yet there are thousands of such in the prisons of the land. Noth ing was so touching in Governor Atkin son's affliction than his respite of a man who was to be hung his tender thought while on the. brink of the grave of a poor wretch who was begging for bis life. V Bui Aw?, - BUNYAN ON Now, at the farther side of that plain was a little hill called Lucre, and .

The theory that a decree of the gov emment can give intrinsic value to money rnctaU has been exploded in the past more th-m once. A signal illustra tion is afforded in the history of Sweden under the reign of Charles XII, known as the "mad king. " Baron Gorta was the leading spirit, or rather thej power be hind the throne and minister j of finance, War had impoverished Sweden, and the baron devised the brilliant j scheme of making more money by attempting ;to giveffcopper the same value as silver, so thava piecej of copper money whose intrinsic value was only one-half penny should, when ' stamped with the lung's mark, pass for 40 pence. Some of this coin was stamped with thej figures of heathen gods, and later on the people in derision called the pieces the "gods of Baron Gortz." 4 At first this monesrwas issued with discretion and reserve, but, f-3 ' might have Ibeen foreseen it was, hiird to draw the line and fix the quantity, and it soon got beyond h& baron's control. All kinds of goods and provisions rose to in ordinate prices, and the baxbn was forc ed to increasej the value of his money to meet th6 demand and volume of trade, but the morerft was increased the less was7 its value and purchasing - power, aad the people; finally rose in thoir in dignation and destroyed the financial plan of this early Napoleon of finance. Charles and others lost . their heads, as a good many seem to be d6ing now on the money question. T. L. Mathews in Fremont (Neb. ) Tribune, j Changes .All One Way. Congressman "George W.i Cooper of Indiana, a sound money Democrat, said in a Washington interview the other day: "In Indiana I know: hundreds of men who -have been free silver men, but who have declared themselves for sound money.

POPULISM XX NORTH CAROLINA. - i The Loss of Power by the - Democratic Party tne Logical Result of Pandering; , to the Populists. - " .1-" Philadelphia Record. - . . - While the conservative people through out the country were rejoicing at the recent elections over the defeat of Pop ulism Tin Kansas and " Colorado news came over the wires that the sensible Old-. North State had gone over, body and soul, to the. priests of free silver fiat money and base political condi tions. By a combination worse than that Of Puritan and blackleg, North Carolina turned from the men and meas ures that had given dignity and dis tinction to her history for the-paBt twenty years and Itook upwith a crowd of ' masquerading reformers,- political adventurers and thoroughly thriftless, ehif tleBS, irresponsible leaders. The combination went through with a rush; and before the Democrats awoke from the complacency engendered by a series of long-Bustained victories the hew order of things had swept the-State by 40,000 majority, elected its judicial ticket, car ned the, Legislature, and - insured the presence of one Populist and - one Re publican m the United States Senate Since that time the Democrats have been looking around and .wonderine "what struck 'em." The trouble is not hard to find. It is another case of evil Communications corrupting the very best "of manners. . For the past five! years' the ' Democratic party of North: Carolina has played fast and loose with) the great questions of the day. It has! sought to keep down the -Farmers AIli- ance-Populistic element by pandering to its interests, conciliating its leaden and -conceding to its wishes until th backbone of the party has been all bu shattered. The nomination in 1892 of a Farmers' Alliance free - silver candi date for Governor marked the- head water of all their woes.- SiAce that frightful blander the tide has been con stantly rolling, bearing on its bosom the the wild heresies of the Populist faith J and sweeping before it the old land4 marks of Democratic conservatism. Against this - political folly some men throughout the State have stood cour4 ageoudly; but the bark had been launch ed, and,iin spite of the voices along th shore warning the reckless crew of the rapids below them, the ill-fated craft has gone" headlong over the political Niagara. That North Carolina is to remain 14 the power of Populism or of fusion? for the present gang will' smell. 'as , rank by one name as another seems hardly probable when one considers what the State has to risk in the struggle. : Few Southern communities have "recovered so thoroughlylrom the blighting effects of the war or adapted : themselves bo practically to the new conditions as ban the old North State. V In the last, quar ter of a century the material develop ment of the State has increased wonder -fully.. Agriculture has been riven 11 great boom; the truck ;lands along the eastern shore have greauy enriched that section of the State; mining has taken practical and profitable shape; commerce has set in 'anew; the axe has rung through .the heretofore almost untouchf ed forests that skirt the coast, and manf ufacturing throughout the Piedmont and .western sections has sprung up wit! surprising - rapidity and permanen Money and men have been attracted' the State in great amount and numbe: and the outlook for a mighty, material if not social advancement has seemed assured. This condition of prosperity, while due largely to the physical ady tages of the State, is attributable not little to her reputation - during the p: twenty years-for safe, sound,- conserva tive opinion on all subjects, from finance to fads. The representative "Tar Heelf has been considered a sensible fellow by his brothers in the national family; He has been at par wherever he . has gone; and his reputation,-as we have already emphasized, -has been due to nothing so much as to a constant clinging to the policy of his fathers, If now, howevt the old moorings are to be abandon and the State is to be given over to the unrestrained and irrational Populistic isms, there are reasons for believing that the people bf North Carolina will pro: little by the new regime. . . , Populism is a curse, a blight, a poht ical paralysis worse almost than death, and every community, North or South, East or West, should shuri it "as they would leprosy. .; North Carolina, when aroused, as she doubtless will be, will shake off the monster, slay the Gorgon, and return to her former position of ra tional can8ervatism. in the nation. To do this she must close her everlasting temporizing policy with the Farmers AUiance, turn her back on the financial isms that have recently flourished On her soil, draw the line of honest party difference, 'and fight the enemy with the bayonet of common sense. The spirit that swept over the old North State lm 1876 must again sasert itself. A sound policy of finance must be the watch word, ' - ..... .... and fearless, courageous i leadership he guiding influence. Thenext campaign must be earnest and intelligent. Every newspaper must be set to preaching; every court yard must be turned into a lyceum; every city, town and 1 cross roads must be stirred and aroused to the importance and necessity of a new order of things. In a campaign , of 1 intelli gence and aggressiveness such as-we have suggested the decent, sensihle peo ple would; be invincible; - against; their onslaughts the power of Populism wcju Id be as "chaff before the fire.'.': The whole country is watching the issue.

' r nigrum f Vim t "HUMBUGS. i , North Carolina Advocate. - " It is a burning shame the way our people are imposed upon by venders, of iron steel cooking ranges, lightning rods and calendar clocks. They get too poof , they Bay, to take the Advocate, almoet too poor to pay their taxes, but just the same the range or rod man can take 'a note binding aS a mortgage negotiable at the nearest bank. A preacher in our ofhee last week said they had sold about $ 18,000 worth of ranges in one county. and had escaped without paying tax. In anotner county a gentleman too poor to take the Advocate, not satisfied with one range, bought one for a prospective daughter-in-law, paying onIyf68 for it We do not sell stoves at all, but think we could safely take a contract to furn ish one thousand At one-half that figure and supply a more durable, and more satisfactory grade of goods. They will offer, to put up lightning rods and assure the purchaser that f 15 or $20 wil cover the cost, and then take a note at 47 cents a foot for metal npt worth ovet 1 or 2 cents a foot, and" make the note binding as words will; allow.' Another man comes, puts up the rods does, tihe measuring, and renders a bill for $100, sometimes more. ' j 1 Tb man who sells clocks asks the privilege of leaving one on your manjtel piece, takes what he calls a memoran dum, but which is a water-tight obliga tion to pay for said clotiki which tjhe poor man,' who allowed the clock to he left, and who unwittingly signed the note, has the privilege of doing in a few weeks. I - But there is -no use exposing thfcse swindlers in the columns of the Advo cate; the men who sign these notes aa a rule are too poor to take their church paper, and will never see this word of caution. . - , i All we have said applies equally well to patent.) medicine.; humbugs, seen Ion nearly every court square two or three times a" year. But people are so fdnd of impositions of this kind that they are restless until some other man has their cash. A few years .ago it was the patent churn; in one county the people bought $25,000 worth. The seller said the people in that county had more money and less brains than any people he had previously met. So mote it be.

S The two legs on which the free silver argument lamely limps are two asser tions, which flatly contradict each other. The first is the statement that with free coinage at 16 to 1 the commercial value of .silver will advance until 1G ounces of Eilver will equal ip value one ounce of gold. This claim is backed up by the oft repeated charge that- it was the alleged demonetization of silver.in 1873 which caused the value of that metal to fall, and it is urged that free coinage would at once restore its old value. - j ' The second assertion of the silverites is their claim that free coinage would stop the fall in prices which they all in sist is due to our financial policy. They have won tbo support of the farmers solely because they denounced our pres ent "currency system as one which makes money scarce' and dear and have prom ised that free coinage will make money cheap and plentiful "In fact, their very strongest- plea for unlimited silver . s their claim ; that "it would double j the prjees of. farm products by measuring them in cheaper money. And if it wbuld not do so it certainly could not helpj the farmer. Here then are the-plain statements of the silverites : Free coinage wiU in crease the value of sil ver so that -1' wlU bo twice as dear as it is Free coinage J will douMe the . prices of aU products by meas uring them Ini the now. Putting, the gov cheaper , and , fnore ernment's 8tamp,"One Dollar, "on 412 grains xt silver will make it equal in value to 25 4-5 grains of gold. ..
