Stateaville Landmark. We want an increased volume of currency, but we do not want this nrougu banks. The first plank in tie Ocala platform declares ' that national banks are necessary as banks of deposit but are objected t ) as banks of iasue. The national banks have the authority for mak ing money that is, they can issue aotes. The people claim that tbe Unite 1 States banks nhould be de- prlved of th power of isue. These aanks were established in 1863 by -.lie same people who afterwards de nonetized silver. Under present banking system bonds are deposit ed with tbe government and the :ianka can issue notes called blue backs, in contradistinction to Tress ary notes or greenbacks, to the am ouut of 90 per oent. of the value of tbe bonds. Borrowing from the United States was once profitable. A banker deposited eay $1000. He received United States bonds to that amount on which begot four or five per cent. He issued $900 iu bank notes which he could lend on inter est and make, say, twelve per cent.; sometimes less, owing to locality and stringency of money. At the present time these bonds are about twenty-five per cent, above par. So he would have to give $1250 to get $1000 iu bonds. Then he would have to realize a very large per cent on $900 in notes to make as much as he would by directly using his capital. The national banking aya teui works towards the accumula tion of money in New York. The money is held bud controlled to the injury of the people. The Alliance holds that the gov ernment ought to issue its own money. We want more currency, but we want no intervening agency to monopolize the use of tbe monej to the injury of the people. It is and by the gold-bugs that the pros position to remonetize silver will debase money ; that we might as well have "fiat money." Now, I don! want "fiat money," in the usu al sense of the term. Fiat money, as 1 understand it, is government paper based on the credit of the country. But when we consider it, have we anything but fiat money 9 If there is a five-dollar gold piece iu the house, is that worth five dol. lars because of the gold that is in it or because it has the government stamp on it ? Is tbe silver in a sil ver dollar worth oue hundred cents? The gold bugs tell us it is not; that it is worth only about eighty cents. But we all know that we are glad to get it for a hundred cents ; that it will buy a hundred cents' worth of any Kind of goods. The govern ment stamp makes it worth one dollar. A copper cent, I believe I have one of them, ( laughter has not oue cent's worth of copper in it. Fifteen cents will buy enough cops p?r to make two hundred cents. There is only one ceut's worth of nickel in a nickel five.cent piece uur Treasnro notes are Dasea on this currency. So we really have a kind ot flat money, but a safe mon We have accomplished much, but we have net got our rights yet. The last Congress went towards the tbmg. The influence of the Farm ers' Alliance forced the United States Senate to pass the free coin age bill aud forced tbe House to the very door ot the matter. But for the influence of two or three men, who had an almost absolute power, it would baye passed. I do honestly believe that the next Con gress will pass an act for tbe free coinage of silver. This will not be done because either of the parties is domiuant, but because of tbe in fluence of the Farmers' Alliance. Silver was not demonetized be cause it was cheap money. In 1873 one dollar in silver was worth one dollar and three cents in gold. Sil ver has been discnmina'ed against bv the government. A geutleivan of Massachusetts, I won't say who he is, said recently ia a speech :"We don't want base currency ; we don't want a dollar worth seveuty-five cuts to buy the laboriag man with.' Tbe idea of money lords being so particular that the laboring man tbould get a good dollar 1 The gold bugs say that if a free coinage bill is passed all the silver in the world will be dumped down en us. They say folks will even eend in their old candlesticks aud plate to be melted down ; that raoni ey will become cheap. This Iiah a tie on its face. The people use sils ver in all ordiuary transactions. They need silver aud mnst have it. But the silver production in 1889 was only one hundred and thirty million ounces. Of this the heath u countries used by far the greater parr. India used thlrt nfive million, China and Japan thirty million, and thirty five million ounces are used in the arts. This leaves a balance of only thirty millions. America produced of thin one hundred and thirty millions about sixty-four million ounces. So I do not think that there need be any fear of mon ey becoming as cheap as old iron it the free coinage bill should be pass ed. Not much of the gold coin pasges into circulation. There are twenty million dollars of gold in circulation on the California coast where those people are not much used to any other kind of money. I think one hundred millions would be a sale estimate for the rest of the United States. Where, then, is all the gold? All in tbe hands of the money lords and the banks, There was a meeting of Alliance delegates at Ocala, in Florida, some time ago. This convention drew up the principal grievances that the Alliance wished redressed and the measares they wished carried out in the shape of a platform. JVs I un derstand this, they recomtaead that the government issue money direct to the people for valuable consider ations. They condemn the silver bill recently passed. They advise legislation so trained as not to build up one industry at tbe expense of another. They favor removal of the present heavy tariff. In fact, tbe proof of tbe Alliance platform is low tariff. They advise a graduated tax on incomes. Is not this fair to all ? People ought to contribute to the support of the government in proportion to ability Adam Smith says every citizen must contribute according to ability to support the government. We have tried the income tax. It was col lected from 1863 to 1873. It com- i rueuced with incomes of 5000 which were taxed five per cent-; theu incomes of 910,000, taxed eight per cent., etc. The Ocala platform advises the government control of railroads telegraphs, express companies, etc. This is no new thing to the Alliance ia North Carolina. If anybody asks you about this, you can tell them that the Farmers' Alliance in North Carolina has established the princi ple that the State has a right to control the railroads, te!egraphs,etc. vithin its boundaries. Tha Ocala pl.itform advises that if the necess eiry changes cannot be made by tbe government control of railroads,etc, t ie government buy up the rail roads. I do not want to see this. I would count government ownership of railroads a great evil. Sensible men outside of the Alliance say tliat it is coming that they fear thai it is at band. I do not think it is near. I believe that govern ment control will accomplish the changes necessary. If it is wisely mauaged I believe it will suffice. Any political party that owned all tl ese roads and had possession at once would keep itself in power in definitely. Seven hundred tbousv and men are employed by these companies, besides tbe attorneys, presidents and men in high official positions among them. The party in power would control their votes. Any paity in power would then per petuate itself so that nothing short of a revolution would cause a change in the government. I do not believe lieve this is near. However it may ocme, it may be the lesser of many evils. If there is a Third party in tbe )uth it will be chargeable to ex t erne and unjust measures. If tol eration is exercised I believe there will be no Third party. But if a line o: treatment unrelenting, intolerant a id harsh ia adopted towards the I lliance, I will not be responsible h r any one in it. I sincerely hope such will not be t' e case. I do not believe it will. V bile there have been some bard f slings and some hard things said o both sides, I see a return of a filing of moderation. II the Far ir rs Alliance gets recognition, I 8( e no occasion for a fuss iu North Carolina. Bat a peaceable settle -a ant depends upon moderate, con st rvative treatment on both Bides. T le farmers are only undertaking tc better their condition without h uting anybody else. We may h-ive made mistakes. No human institution is pertect. I believe that no good will come from alienation tc either side. The Alliance has done much for tte good of the country. We should fe?l encouraged. We have nearly a majority of votes in the United Slates, nearly a majority in North Carolina, nearly a majority in Irg dell county. The Farmer' Alliance tu8 the balance of power, The are a strong and dignified body of men. I think yon can be hopeful for no body of wise men can afford to slap in the face forty or fifty per cent, of their constituents. I think vou can "thank God and take cour age," and go on your way. I think you cau attain your ends by stand ing together in your own political parties. If you can't get them from the Republicans in the South, you can from the Democrats. Tbe Dem ocrats are stronger among the Alii anoemen In the South, and the Rei publicans in the North and West. The points made by Mr, Leazar At tbe court house in f,i last week were about the same iu substance as the foregoing. He is undoubtedly a fair speaker and puts hi j foot down heavily on intolerance either in or outside of the Alliance. Ed. Origin of aFauioun Hymn. Probably oue of the most univer sally popular hymns ever composed is Charles Wesley's hymn "Jesus. lover of my sonl, Let me to thy bosom fly,"&c. The origin of this hymn, as re cently published iu one of the Rich mi nd papers, is not correct. The statement is there made that the words were suggested by a little bird seeking refuge from a hawk, by flying into the study of Charles Wesley and lighting in his bosom. On the contrary, this hymn was wntten by Wesley in aspnng.honse, wl ere he had taken refuge from a mob. He, with, bis brother John Wesley and Richard Pilmore, were holding one ofjtheir evening meet in;; on the common (for then Methodism had no churches), when a iiob attacked them, and they had to flee for their lives. They at last found temporary shelter from the stones with which they were pelted behind a hedge. After lying there for some time, we are told, the darkness deepened upon them, and they found their way to a deserted spring-house, where they washed their faces, brushed the dirt from their clothes, aud felt at least a mo meut's security from the missiles which had pelted them. It was the storm of fierce persecution that asi sailed him, not the flight of a hawk after a sparrow, that suggested the immortal hymn. We are told that Charles Wesley had with him a piece of lead hammered out into a pencil, with which he wrote the hymn. . The flight of tbe mob and the cooling waters of tbe stream helped to form this hymn, no one would douflt It was the "tempest" ot wrath j and indignation which assailed bimj that suggested tbe bymu. How wonderously did tbe writer that nisht of flight from a mob to a pro tecting shelter pen the words which nave helped thousands to fly to the bosom of Jesus ! Rev, Dr, E. M. Peterson in Manchester Lsdger, . Utile Convenience. There, that's the twenty-seventh tine, I believe, by actual count, that F a burned my fingers by taking things out ot the oven and off from th stove," said a nervous honso ke-jper, "and the ouly reason for it al! is pure and unadulterated indo le:, ce and carelessness. 'The very first hour that I can 8p.re, and it I can't find an hour 1 wi 1 make one, shall te devoted to I hi preparatioh of some holders anj similar conveniences to use about tbo stove and kitchen. I get in a hu Ty and the biscuits are burning and I catch up the first cloth I can gel. my hands on. It's sure to be damp and the minute it comes in contact with the pan it sends the steam through the cloth and burns my Gngers. A few minutes later I want a cloth again and it's a differ ent one and not largo enough, and again my hands aie burned. 1 have been almost laid up from littlo in juries of this sort, aud I'm done with it. There's an old cradle quilt in the attic that will make ad mirable filling for holders, and I'll have half a dozen varying in size trcm four inches square to about five by eight inches, aud I'll sew locos on them, too, so they cau be hung up, and woe to anybody who misplaces them t I want some dus ters, too. I remember seeing, tbe other day, on one of tbe remnant counters, some jards of colored cheese-cloth which was faded and spotted. I heard the clerk say that he thooght he would be willing to give it to anybody who would take it away. I think I will buy it, dip it in hot, strong soapsuds aud lay it on the grassplot. It will bleach ou to some even color, and theu 1 can cut it in squares and hem them. It will make about a half-dozen dusters. Then I will make some ter for each room. 1 think few housekeepers realize how much strength and time and how many steps are wasted in running around looking up dusters and other arti cles of this sort. It's a good idea to have a brusb,dust pan and broom for every floor, and keep these, with tbegduster, in some outof-sight corner, convenient for use. "All well-regulated houses should have a small corner enpboard in the hall on every floor, specially provided for keeping the broom, brushes, dust-pan, house-cloths, and possibly a pail or vessel which may ba used in an emergency for scrub bing purposes. If a pail of water is upset or a cup of milk, two-thirds of it will soak into the carpet before anybody can find auytbing to take it up with. If a pan, small tnb or pail, with lioen cloths, were imme d;arely accessible, much of the dam a;;e doue by such accidents could be prevented. "A moderu housekeeper has a clof et of this sort on every floor. In it are the articles mentioned, aud in a little pocket on tbe door are teck-hammer, screwdriver, small claw, a paper of tacks and a few naiis of various sizes. She claims that the cost of the outfit bas been saved a thousand times by the convenience of having these things at hand. ''This is in striking contrast to many houses where a half-hour', search is necessary, if hammers tacks, screwdriver or nails aie, re quired, and often oue is fortunate to find them all." xV, IF.

Vernon Springs, n: C., Ajcj. IS Editor Tiie Ciikon icle: Upon my return from the North era Bible Conference last week I found a report , going the rounds ot tho press that Judge Schenek a d myselt were arranging to tight a duel. Allow me to say it is absolutely false, and without foundation. 1 think the report does injustice to bolh Judge Schenek and myfelf. I also hoo in the same article a report to the effect that I will have case brought before ihe civil courts, which is also not trne. The matter has been settled so far as 1 am con cerned forever I have had some friends to write and ask me why I did not write an article in deieuco of myself. In the Gist place I will say to them and to others that may have aked themselves that question that I am out working for God and fighting His battles, and it I do my du'y He will defend my charac ter against all adversaries, pie says in Psalms XXXVII: 6. '-I will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your judgment as tbe noonday." Ho.alNO siysui Isiab XL1 V 17. uNo weapon that is form ed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that shall anno against you in judgment thou siialt con demn, for this is the heiituge of tbe servants of tbe Lord, and tin ir righteousness is of me, sai h li e Lord." Then again, why should I have any thing to say iu my own behalf wlieu Itie ministers 'ami t....... people of Greensboro have teen fit to defend me 1 Then, again, one more reason, "aud this tbe greatest ot all" Obust Jesus gave me an example in Iniab LIU: 3 and 7, "He is despised and rejected of men, a man of soirows aud acquainted with giiet, and we bid as it were our faces from Him ; He was despised and we esteemed Him not; Ho was oppressed and He was afflicted, yet be opened not His mouth; He is brought a a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before his shearer is dumb, so He opened not His mouth." And surely it Jesus could do this Icr me, I think it little as I could do tc keep quirt and follow His com mand in Matthew V 11. "But I say unto you, love your enimies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that despite! hlly use and per secute you," And now, so far as newspaper coufioversary is concerned, with cie this is the Alpha and Omega. Also allow me before I close this ar.:I.;le to thank tbe hundreds of triends iu North Carolina and else where, who have by letter aud otherwise expressed to m tbeir sympathy in these, mv times of tioi.ble, assuring them it is greatly appreciated.
