to understand these historic
events. T

to this is a recent editorial
i i i - - i
Pertinent
in theNeV
York World showing how
France
has managed her financial mat-
tars.-' Let it be remembered that France
in 1871 had paid lover $3,000,000,000 1 to
Germany
as indeiimity and paid it in
gold, whicjhj
no : otner
nation on the
On one side of

giope couia
have done.
France is
England, ; a
country, and her enemy, Germany, is
t3 the J north, another gold country.
Now for what the! World tells:
'The last' annual report of the Bank
of France shows that it is possible to
keep a kobk of gold - and silver availa
ble at the pa,me time, and also that a
silver reserve may be utilized to pre
vent the stock of gold from being di
minished. - i - P j
During 1894 the gold reserve of the
bank was increased by 171,600,000, and
since January 1st a further addition of
$16,000 000 has been1 made, bringing the
stock, of; gold up to 427,500,000. The
cause of this! increase is simply the nat
ural flow of exchange. All payments
to the bank from foreign sources are
made in cold in form of ingots or
foreien coiinl ! Money in this shape not
being current in France it is brought to
the bank, whicn issues its notes in pay
ment fot it. j When it comes to paying
oulmorjevl however,, the rule is differ-
'.ent. : f ' i j - .
v i In addition to its reserve of $427,500,
: nnA in 'firth he, bank hold some $256.-
j 000,000 jn silver. When the notes of
f the Dans ax presented, uio noiuei: is iw-
t quired tb tkke a part in silver. If the
amount is inrge ana tne DanK supposes
tUat it IS liueuaea ror export it win pay
ofilv one half in gold and half in silver.
It will sell ingots or foreign coins, but
it will ribt sell French gold coins.
There: is 'only one comment for us -to
make on this. ;, i When we find a country
. steadilv ircreasins both its gold andsil
ver stocks! without either forced pur
chases or reissuing greenbacks or sales
of bonds or Currency famines, we are
compelled jtd say: .'They manage thefee

THE INCOME TAX DECISION.
-.-. -I ii i i -I
The decision cf the Supreme Court
as to the!
income tax is not surprising ap
it is now'organized
ror a number qi
years the Republican
Congress levied
i -
an incomei tax. and no decision adverse
to itscenstitutionality was! made. For
thirty yk&rs. a direct tax has been
levied tponl spirits and tobacco. For a
long time-several States have levied an
income tax and it hanj worked well, not
T- ill b i.l. i. . . !
being more oppressive tnan otner taxes,
vBut in 18Q5, it is declared, and perhaps
the decision is wise and as it should be,
that an income taxJ is unconstitutional
in so far s itlreaches rents -and incom
of real estate. It is also held that it is
unconstitutional to tax Government
x bonds. j With! this decision . before the
next Congress we would! suppose it
. would makej many changes j in the re4
suits of taxation. The estimate is that
under the . decision of the court the law
will not raUe more'jthan $15,000,000
yearly on! such tilings as are deemed
constitutibnali to be taxed.
- tnv Li. UiL jLs;- .
Aiuuuugu.iuo utuision may sneiter a
great many people from being taxed
.who are riot bearing their proportionate
.part of the public burden, the Messen
ger will j be glad if the return to the
Constitution1 of the United States in
this decision shall be the jsignal and
forerunner that the! Government is
henceforth ta jregard the organic law,
and that 11 usurpation ofJ-authority,
like ordered; tr.! S.I soldiers into States
without jhe jsanction of States, and
other high-handed acts, and all attempts
at centralizing1 of power in theGeneral
Uovernment! shall be ! stopped such as
doctoring j cattle in the States, pro
Tiding the forty acres and the mule
for impecunious folks, educating the
masses, running railroads, owning all
lines of communication these and
other dangerous monstrosities are to be
henceforth tabooed, avoided, put down.
It is a good and healthful sign to see a
decision to protect the rich from right- j
eous taxation made upon the distinct
grounds of unconstitutionality.
A Supreme court composed of Repub
licans with but one exception long ago
decided that a tax under a tariff levied
for any purpose whatever other than
'for reyenue only" was purely and sim
ply "tobbery." What would the present
court hold? Cannot this piinciple be
tested? - . - !
HOME FOLKS.
It seems that Rev. Dr. ; Morrison will
not be at Trinity college as published.
"7
It is pleasant to know j that railroad
building is not at a complete standstill
in North Carolina. It is reported that
three roads are in course of construc
tion." Very little was done last year.
The Messenger regrets to learn that
Minister M.- W. Ransom is suffering
from carbuncles on the neck and elbow.
It is to be sincerely hoped' that j he will
soon recover for otherwise they might
not only give him great suffering, but
might prove very dangerous.

Among the special .features at Greens
boro Female college commencement in
June is the'Alumnae address which is
o be delivered by Mrs. John W. Hays,
of Oxford, N. C, an Alumna of the in
stitution. We do not know personally
a woman now giving in North Carolina
who is the ; superior of Mrs. nays in
natural ability! She ia well cultivated
and full of wit.
In 1984, North Carolina cultivated
53,113 acres in rye aod produced 478,017
bushels; 164,525 acres in hay and grew j
238,561 tons; 17,955 acres in "potatoes
and 1,113,210' bushels; 695,147 acres in
wheat and 3,475,735 bushels; 2,459,663
acres in corn and 32,959,484 bushels;
527,893 acres in oats and 5,754,034
bushels. The hay crop-is far too small.
Make more hay and stop buying from
the North. The potato crop is much
ess than we had supposed. The wheat
crop is rather small. Kentucky, Ten
nessee and Virginia exceed it. If. more
oats were made there would be much
ess demand for the products of the hay
fields in the West. Raise home sup
plies all round, including home manures.
m)
Our vigilant Raleigh ', correspondent
reported that another trick had prob
ably been played upon the people.
Shaffer, a Northern Rad at Raleigh, did
not intend, he says, to! tax churches
and schools in the bill he sent to the
Douglass gang, but the bill he drew
cannot be found. Another appears to
have been substituted. By whom? It
seems that the scamps tricked the un
suspecting often and changed bills to
suit themselves. So in . this staid old
State, with perhaps a larger member
ship in the' churches in propor
tion to white population than any
other, and with as , much need
of education for the ignorant masses as
any other State whatsoever, by the act
of the incompetent, reckless, stupid
Fred Douglass j Memorial Association
education and religion are both taxed.
What an outrage It was very bad for
Democratic Legislatures to tax know
ledge the small scattered libraries of
young and aspiring young men but it
is infamous to tax education and reli
gion.';" . i
EASTERN VISITORS PliE.VSED?
m i -r i '. i
ine juassacnusetts mm men are
much pleased at the very cordial recep
tion they have j met with every where.
The South never extended hosnitalitv
and cordial greeting half-way. j They
will no doubt speak well! of the South
and will not depreciate its advantages.
The opinion of Mr. Lover ing is indeed
very favorable. He does not hesitate to
affirm that its advantages and opportu
nities are very remarkable" for cotton
milling, rie did not fail to say at
Raleigh that "it is perfectly natural
that cotton should be ppnn where cotton
is grown. Undoubtedly the immediate
increase in the spindles of our country
is destined to be near the cotton fields.
The proximity to coal, in many sec
tions, and thei abundance of i water
power, togetherwith a plentiful supply
of cotton close at hand are advantages
not to be ignored.?' This is frankly and
sensibly taken. The steady growth of
cotton manufacturing in the South is a
necessity. Thus far, although the
South makes 60 per cent, of the entire
world's supply of cotton, it has but
per cent, of the spindles operating in
the entire world. This is strange,
vvitn all of its great progress in mill
ing within a decade, and with all of its
very great advantages, to date but
per cent of the manufacturing is done
in the South. It shows what little
really has been done, and "how much
there is to do.
f The fact of the South's superiority is
really no new thing. This writer can
show a dozen editorials on that subject
published in this city from time to time
by him within the last twelve or fifteen
years. The wonder is that the South
has not utilized those vast advantages
to a much greater extent, and that New
England did not recognize them dec
ades ago: While there may not be any
great movement Southward by. the
New England manufacturers, there
will be now and then an addition com
ing from that section. The advantages
of labor, climate, I fuel, cost of living,
health, and having the cotton growing
all about the mills will assert them
selves in spite of all opposition of the
press and the prejudices that may be
ingrained. i

WAS ALMOST BLIND
Little Girl had to be Kept In a Dark
Room. Could not See to Feed
Herself. Remedies and Doctors
All Failed. Cured in One
Week by CUTICUKA.
Mv little trirl had very sore eyesl I tried
everything, but nothing did any good. - I took
her to a doctor in Atlanta, who treated her for
a year, but she kept getting worse. II brought
her home; was almost out of heart; 1 just felt
sure she would go blind. An old lady told me
to try Cuticura Remedies. I had no faith in
them, as I had tried everything. I commenced
on Saturday and before the next Saturday her
eyes were sound and well as any child's. She
was almost blind and bad been keptin a dark
room for more than a year; could not see to feed
herself; and they have never been as yet the
least particle sore or even looked red from that
day until this, and it will be three years the first
of May. They certainly cured her, and I think
they are the greatest remedies out. I only used
half a box of Ccticuka, one cake of Ci ticcra
Soap, and one bottle of Cuticdka ResolvE:it;
so you see what wonders they did for my little
girl. I have read of all of these most wonderful
cases, but never before thought that they might
be true: but I know this to be the positive
truth. Mus. F AXNIE GARWOOD,

I represent a Company that has embodied in

many more. Can you see any reason why you
should pay a large interest for money when you
have guod security t Can you present any good
reason why it is not as well to receive profits -yearly
sb to wait from T to 10 years as one does in
many of the Associations 7 Is not the reduction
of interest yearly better than waiting many yeara
for profits? Borrowers under the plan repre

SI paid on the loan is credited on the mortgage,
thereby reducing it in proportion to the amount
paid. . I
