"Was Cleveland's administration' a success? We will only glance at one feature. What-'dld It accomplish to tts financial operations? The gold papers manipulate to suit tthemselves. They make a ehuywlng that Is palpably mis leading. They show that -wlien Cleve land went imlto office the 4 th of March, 1893, he found a total In the treasury, of all sorts of money, of $129,978,438. He left it the i&ther day with $209,438, 046. Looked at just do that Is a splendid showing. It looks as if he -had left the SI 00.000.000 reserve intact tand. pearly nn nnn nnn in (nddftlon. The excess of gold is over $48,000,000 over reserve, This ds fine, but 4s It a fact? Does it represent correctly Cleveland's exploits in finance? Let us see. How much aid foe' borrow io make 'this appear? How much has the public debt been Increas ed to create this seeming showing? He borrowed $262,000,000. And the interest to be paid and the whole will quite double all he leaves, reserve Included, Is there anything hopeful, wise to such a showing? Let us look farther ' Into This matter of figures, ,bond selling and finance. ' ' President Harrison, an able repub- iu-jn but not a 'great euccess, we think, as a -president, reduced he in terest bearing public debt - $259,071,960. President Cleveland actually Increased the Dublic 'debit (interest bearing also) $262,330,690 In exact figures. Consider . the difference and marvel at the blind ness arid incapacity ;that caused' the stupendous increase. To get the Whole, the interest, very large, would have to be calculated. Look' next a't expenditures and defi ciencies. Was Cleveland a 'sgrea't suc cess here the mighty statesman the second Washington he hugest Intel lect in in hundred years? The mon'Wily statement f the treasury department for last;Deiember shows the following: In 1893, ten months, receipts $274, 401,3f7.54; expenditures, $313,266,831.06; excess, $38,65,453.52. In 1894, ; receipts $301,705,075.86; ex penditures, $363,535,529.46; excess, $61, 830,453.60. ! In 1895, receipts $317,047,683.05; ex penditures, $352,142,115.25; excess, $35, 094,432.20. ' In 1896, receipts $314,585,068.92; ex penditures, $364,834,394.73; excess, $50, 249,325.81. . - . In 1897, two months, receipts $48,717, 991.43; expenditures, $59,065,445.95; ex cess, $J0,347,454.52. Total Receipts, $1,256,457,196.80; ex penditures, $1,452,844,316.45; exteess, $196,387,119.65. Let us give the comments of The New . York Tribune in explanation of these very remarkable figures: the four years was $196,387,119.65, which was, in fact, met, and sundry millions added to the cash on hand besides, by selling the $262,330,690 bonds already mentioned as added to the Interest bearing debt. Had no 'bonds been sold, the deficit would have exhausted the whole net cash balance on hand when .President Harrison went out, which was $124,128,0187.88, as the debt state ment of March 1, 1893, shows in bold, black figures, and that point of com plete ' exhaustion would have been reached in April, 1895, as the record just mentioned on page 1,049 distinctly proves. But further, nothing1 can be more certain than that the actual ex haustion of the last cent in the treas ury must have come much sooner, through the panic of public creditors, if. bonds had not been sold to meet "the monthly deficiency of revenue." The admirers of "the great man" can only see wisdom and financial smart ness and skill in all this. The Trib une's financial editor throws a differ ent light upon ft. He shows that It was a:seriesof false steps and blunders, . and still "The Tribune is mighty for gold only. It jsays; 7 "They prove that the treasury held of gold in excess of gold certificates outstanding $103,284,218.91 when Presi dent Harrison went out, and $148,661, 209.43 when President Cleveland went . out, so .that $45,376,990.52 of the gold ; borrowed was actually added to the amount lying in the treasury. Further, .'the quantity of Standard silver dollars lying Idle in the -treasury, mainly rep resented by silver certificates out standing, increased from $358,474,895 to $390,939,629, so that without attention to minor details it is clear that more than the entire excess of bonds sold J over deficiency of revenue was added to the idle gold and silver ' in, te treasury." . . To prevent a crash, a complete bank , rup'tcy of the treasury, it took $196,- 000,000 to meet the deficiency. The Tri bune says but for selling bonds the bankruptcy would have come .; before April, 1895. That is Cleveland finan ciering. If good we cannot see It and do not believe it. We have no idea that in the entire financial history of the United States was there ever any blundering like this. Instead of reduc ing the public indebtedness St was In creased, with Interest added, than. $100,000,000 probably.- more is not to hbe wondered at that i Ayer's Pills arejin such universal de mand. For the cure of constipation, biliousness, or any other complaint needing a laxative, these pills are un surpassed. They are sugar-coated, easy to take.and every dose Is effective. HOME FOLKS. , So Speaker Hileman is hungry and wants double pay for his distinguished services. What they chiefly consisted in we are ndt Informed. He received the thanks of his folks In the house. and of course they knew how good and great ne had been. But he wanted something more sustaining than empty words, so he craved double pay. ' J- .. . So our friend, Dr. W. R. Wood has joined the pops. We suppose he is of the Skinner kicking crowd or he would not have got the place. He held : it once as a democrat and made sLn effi cient officer, we believe. We are sur prised to see him in such a crowd. Dr; Monroe, , selected for the important Morgan ton asylum, is professor of law at the Presbyterian DavKson college, and Is doubtless well equipped. ; We suppose he is a radical. The grievous charge . agajnst the pop.-rad. combina tion of piemen is that they,have pros-i trated benevolent, eleemosynary state . institutions to low party ends rewards for henchmen. It. is a bad business, a most humiliating and disgraceful af fair. The men engaged in it deserve the denunciations of every humane, considerate man and woman in North .... - Carolina The fellows" who did it, Rus sell included, should be pilloried 'and kept there, by a " sound, sympathetic public sentiment. :- The errors and sins of omission of the legislative rowdies and ilncompe- tents are coming out. There Is a se rious error as to the levying of th tax under the revenue act, as stated in our Raleigh letter of yesterday. The sol diers and widows, are left out who had been added to 'the list 'of pensioners, and all by legislative incapacity. This Is bad, inexcusable. The legislative cir cus of two years ago performed on the slack rope, orwas it the "tight" rope, after that sort. They blundered when ever it was possible to do so.' We sus pect the people have had about enough of playing; at legislation. If they can stand another thing like the last two they are first to be pitied for the want of sense, and second to be laughed at for catching Just what -they so very richly deserve.- To retain an abundant head of hair of a natural doilor; to a good old age the 'hygiene of thte scalp must 'be bb-. served. Apply 'Hall's -Hair Renewer. THE MOST UNWISE COURSE POS ; SIBLE. The Messenger has several times re f erred to the absurdity and unwisdom of North Carolinians in buying horses, mules and cows Instead of breeding them, and of buying hay corn, wheat, vegetables, fruits; canned goods, agri cultural instruments, vehicles, furni ture, etc., out of the state instead of growing and manufacturing them, as the case may be, at home. The farm ers are doing better in the matter of hog and hominy but liow is it with other things? All the fruit, well nigh, we get comes from northern states. We eat vegetables grown in Maine where the soil has to be brought to pro duce them. We get cabbage from be yond seas, and many other things we eat. The Fayetteville Baptist has an editorial on the neglect of our produc ers to grow what is eaten in the state. It has been talking with a dealer who showed that very much he sold '""ild be produced in North Carolina. Here is his list: "Cabbage, from Maryland, sells for 2c per pound; apples, from New Jer sey, sell for 30c per peck; Irish pota toes, from Ohio, sell for 25c per peck; sugar-cured bacon, from Kansas, sells for 10c per pound; beans, from Maine, sell for 8c per quart; ipigs feet, from Chicago, sell for 7c; pickles, from Ken tucky, sell for 16c per dozen; drid ap ples, from Ohio, sell for 7c per pound; anea peacnes, rrom isew jersey, sen for 12c per pound; onions, from Mary land, sell for 25c pr peck; flour, 'from Tennessee, sells for $5.50 per barrel; corn, from Iillionls, sells for 45c per bushel; oats, from Ohio, sell "for 35c per bushel; lard, from Cincinnati, sells f$r 10c per pound; molasses, from Louisiana, sells for 35c per gallon: but ter, from New York, sells for 30c per pound; starch from New York, sells for 5c per pound; canned goods, from the north; cake, from South Carolina, sell for 10c per pound; axe handles, from Virginia, sell for 10c each; cheese from New: York, sells for 20c per pound; washboards, from Ohio, sell for. I0c each. ' . '' - And to' this list he added paper, twine, baskets, brooms, axle grease and other articles that he purchased out of the state that could be made right here at home." i Now is not this a beautiful showing? With such a climate, such a soil, such abounding opportunities, can there be any sense in such neglect, any excuse for such an unwise course? Buying what can be grown or made in our state. That is bondage. That is to make our people forever "hewers of wood.and-dra.waM. of water" for the in dustrious, wide-a-wake, money- getting Yankee. Poverty must await any peo ple who shut their eyes to opportunity and are too lazy for thrift. The Bap tist says: "This grocer told us that he sold cab bage and onions and potatoes to the farmers in this section. -and nto their shame. Let our farmers diversify and by all means raise as much as possible their table necessities. A little study and a little investment will enable our farmers to raise many of the things which they now buy from the north. And why jiot?" It is dreadful economy to buy what you can make. More work, wiser dis tribution of labor, greater variety of production, a sounder economy these will make the farmer thrive. - Thefollowing was a part of an edi torial that was somehow omitted when the first part appeared In print. It may seem to close the discussion. It was part of a comment upon an issue of the North Carolina State Bulletin: God . has greatly favored our dear old North Carolina, but the people fail greatly; to avail themselves of the great advantages offered them. There are grapes, apples, pears and peaches in the midland counties particularly we speak of Warren, Vance, Franklin, Granville that in size, flavor, beauty and perfection equal the world's best. The Bulletin says: "There are certain portions of Surry, Yadkin, Wilkes, Alexander, Caldwell, Catawba, Burke, McDowell, Ruther ford and Polk .counties, favored by na ture for' lust such purpose, that may raise all these fruits, some one, some another, while the - trans-mountain counties are unexcelled fcr their ap ples, s This Piedmont and mountain re gion is capable of producing all the late fruits consumed In the Etate and through half the S3un. "But our fruit fci owers b aye much to learn. They can't compete with the thrifty Yankee without adopting his ways." J . That is correct, until they .learn how to market their products our farmers can neither compete nor obtain the re ward for their industry. Learn first to do it, and then be sure to do it. First catch the hare before you' cook It. The Baltimore Sun gives this hint as to the how: "This must begin wtth selecting his location and favorable localities are comparatively few then marketable and shipping varieties of fruit be chosen, then the most careful cultiva tion and pruning be given. After the trees begin to bear, picking, handling, assorting and barrelling are- all neees sary care' and attention from the time the trees are set till the fruit Is sold.". We are persuaded that there is "big money" to Intelligent Carolina farmers and fruit growers if they only knew It. arid would1 learn the way. ; to avail themselves I of the great advantages and opportunities with 'which God has blessed them so bountifully. If they will only study how the people in New Jersey, Delaware and New York states grow and prepare J-fruits for market there are thousands in it for them. The' dealers have to pay from $1 to $2 a bushel for apples; - $2 to $3 for peaches; $2 to $2.50 for pears, and 15 to 20 cents a basket for grapes. Whyi then shall not these fruits be grown in North Carolina and undersell these northern or California products? REMARKABLE BONE. There was on exhibition at Halifax Monday a Joint of what seemed o be the 'backbone of some feuge animal of long ago. " The vertebra, or JoSrJt' is 4 inches long. 4 Inches thick fnd 6 Inches across from one side of 'the curvature to the other. It had a spur or stump of a rib on each side about an Inch long, and the rib was snore (than; an inch in diameter. The bone was ' f ound in' Quanky creek on Mr. W. T. Purnell's ftu-m, near Halifax, and from its appearance it must have been there for ages-. Scotland Neck Democrat. ; Let, us tell" what we know of another bone. Thirty-seven years ago the late Rev; Dr!" Robert S. Moraan rode tto our door at Halifax town, where we were then residing, and asked us to ride with" him to see the 'bone In the little branch making intx thevery curious Quanky creek, just , outside of the own land ehcirclingi it, emptying teto the river a lfttle below the town. We reached the place arid some thirty feet or so below the surface some ne groes were at work trying to exca vate a bone, that at first looked (to our unscientific eye as j a rotten ledge or rock.. The water of the tiny "branch was trickling over it. Dr. Morah said tt was Have tinder Jaw bone of a whale. It was ex:oavated on the ntoT'th'em side of the branch, leaving exposed some ten- or twelve 'feet. Dr. Moran made a drawing of it, and Bent it to the (pro fessors of intaeraiogy and geology at Yale and Harvard .One wrote that Moran was correct j in classification. We never learned as to the Other pro fessor. The doctor was well up to sci ence. He offered the" late Mrt George Barnes $50 to dig the bone ana deliver ft at the depot less than a mile dis tant, but - ft was declined. Professor Kerr, when state geologist, had this bone taken to Raleigh, and we think 'St is now fn the state museum. This bone was near Quanky, "and perhaps not two hundred yards from- where Mr. Pumeil found one of the articulations of the vertebrae of a whale. At any rate the bone we refer to was fouln'd on- his grandfather Fennels farm, and we suppose tie inherited it. Another vertebraetef ta whale lies but three mliea from Enfield. We have written of it miorethart onoe to The Messenger. It extends over a deep creek. Fishing by name, either end is imbedded In the banks. It is "more $han niiieiy reet long, uw Mr. iunter sara nearly forty years . ago that when, he was a school boy (jhe was 70 or more when talking) the ij bone was elghlt or ten Inches aibove the stream and was used as a "crossing log." In 1860 the bed of the stream had so filled that the "log" or hone was several toches perhaps a foot under water. Professor Kerr had one of the Joints taken to Raleigh and it Is now in the state mu seum. The sea once covered all that section of country for a hundred miles or more inland. We saw the "negroes throwing Out marine shells perhaps thirty feet under; J ground when dig ging lor our friend Dr. Moran. How did they get there? That once it was ocean and not dry land is the only ex- planation. : ' t While no physician or pharmacist can conscientiously warrant a cure, the J. u.

A STRIKING LESSON IN NORTH CAROLINA. Are times hard? Is it real or Is it a myth, a dream, an, idle tale? Is there an abundance of money anywhere out side of banks and the rich men's lock er? Is there business stagnation real ly, or is it now a time of great activity, prosperity and rush? Let every man who may read this answer for himself. We ask the questions . above because of a letter read to us within twenty four hours. It wai written in one of the very best counties in intelligence, prop erty and good homes in the state. That letter said "It is painful to go down town, everything looks so very stag nant and dull so much unlike it used to be. You cannot collect money. If you take the property of men in debt you cannot dispose of it, and It brings you nothing. The merchants are forced to take produce from the farmers in exchange for goods, such is the great scarcity of currency." We give from memory, but have stated in our own words, as we recall the statements of the letter. If you know that county, what it has been, you would marvel at the report, and better understand Its import. It; Is a county once so pros perous that the farmers really! did not know what to do with their surplus money. They had all the land they needed, there were no manufactories but tobacco, and that was overdone, and there wereL(no investments at hand. At one tim, 'within some fifteen years, there werel $80,000 deposited by the farmers In oae of the banks for safe keeping only. I A man any morn ing who wanted to raise $10,000 could have taken a horse and buggy and by a little trip in the country of a few miles could have got the amount, of course, with proper security, or other wise, if the man's business reputation was good. " ; . - Now it is so dull, the farmers are so embarrassed, money is so scarce, that you cannot collect interest on lent ' money, and merchants are compelled to barter goods for farm products to carry on their business. , - AH this, too, in a "land of Goshen" in the past a land of happy homes, excellent home buildings, of churches and schools and hospitality. What has done it? Trusts, and striking down one-half of the people's money, and In creasing the value of gold, and con- cpstiner rhonpv In thft errpat rpntwq while creating a money famine in the south and west. Mr. Dodge, of New York city, is doubtless exactly truthful in his ac count of what he saw and learned in the west, and the commercial traveler reported in The Richmond Dispatch confirms what he said. We are pre pared . to believe all he said, know ing what is the condition of a North Carolina county that twenty years ago was the equal of any county in . all southland in general prosperity.
