THE TAX OS THEIR CIRCULA TION "LIKELY TO DE RE PEALED. Other rians for ReliefMr. Simmon is .Now Collector Mr. Cleveland's Health Matter of Interest at the Nation's Capital North Carolina Folk There. ErflturUtl Comprnutcncc. ' WASHINGTON, I). C., 1311 II Street, N. W.; September 6, 1883. There was an important conference held on Saturday in Secretary Carlisle's office Iroui which important results are expected. It was a council of adminis tration leaders, limited to half a dozen, following an informal conference at the White House on the previous uight. It had in view the formulating a safe plan for enlarging the circulation. Their project involves to all intents the remodeling of the currency system of the government, and multiplying the channels by which the notes pass into circulation. So far as the details of the scheme can be learned it was to be pre faced by the repeal of the practically prohibitive tax upou State banks, which would make it possible to issue circula ting note to all banks, national banks and others, which would organize under State charters. The national kinks would take charters from the States and be placed upon thesa'nie footing as banks of issue with the others. All note would be p-inted by the government, as under the .resent system, would be uni form in desigu and furnished at a per centage upon their face sufficient to cover the cost of getting them up. Oue of the greatest difficulties involved in this plan is that it would necessitate a change of the arraugement by which na tional banks dejiosit government bonds to secure their circulation. Another basis of securities for the notes would have to be adopted, one which would be identical iu all the States and would in sure a perfectly stable backing for the bank Lisues, but would admit of other collateral than government bonds. To devise this system upon an equitable and safe bitsis would require the wisdom of the most level-headed financiers of all sections. The great advantage which the advocates of such a system have always urged, and which is presumably looked for by the conferees, is more elastic cur rency, more easily accessible, and to be cornered with greater difficulty. While the .State bank scheme would not satisfv the extreme silverites. It would apjiease many who demaud a larger circulating medium, as well as the representatives who have urged that with repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act should come the adop tion of a definite financial policy. Sena tor Voorhees in his speech, which voiced to some degree, at least, the policy of the administration and for which Secretary Carlisle furnished statistical material, advocated the repeal of the State bank tax. In reply to the standing objections of a lack of stability, which are brought against tho State bank currency, he de clared that modern facilities for jora munication brought banks 2,000 miles apart nearer than those in adjoining counties before the war, and made possi ble a knowledge of the status of all financial institutions. There are many plans for financial re lief beside the establishment of State banks. Senator Lindsay, of Kentucky, a repeal man, has an idea, which has not yet been formulated in a bill, that the best way out of the difficulty is the free, but limited, coinage of silver, say to the extent of thirty or forty millions of ounces a year. He thinks that this would indi cate to the eopleof the country that the Government does not propose to discard silver altogether, while at the same time it would prevent the amount of silver froin becoming too large to be naturally and freely absorbed in the channels of trade. Senator Ijndsay would have this tried as an exjeriment for ten years, but the silver men, who have been consider ing the matter, say that there would be no experiment in it, for silver, as soon as it was coined as money on a parity w ith gold, would rise to that parity and re tain it. Senator Cmkrell's idea is to add 20 per cent, to the gold certificates now Issued, without, however, increasing the amount of gold now held by the Treasury. He believes that this gold is sufficient to car ry a larger circulation than it now up holds, and with the guarantee of the Government behind them the certificates would never be presented for redemption. Under the present law these gold certifi cates are only payable for the principal and interest of the public debt, but Sen ator Cockrell proposes that they shall be made available for all the obligations of the Government. If his proposition should be enacted into law it would add immediately aut 35,000,000 to the circulation of the conntry'anrl would, in his opinion, break the back of the panic. Senator Cockrell, by the way, is an earn est believer in the circulation of paper money. He says the people of the United States will never return to the use of gold or silver coins, and he has been busy for the List ten days studying statistics to learn how much is lost by abrasion. While the figures are not Tery conclusive on this subject, he has found enough to convince him that if gold -and silver coins were to be used exclusively, the annual loss by wear would be enormons, and might, in time, bo greater than the recuperation possible through the output of the mines. Id conversation a night or two ago with some North Carolina members of Congress, one of them said that he didn't care for free coinage of silver if the party would enaet a law giving the people State banks. There is no good reason why we cannot have both, or a great deal of both. The Southern Democrats will be well satisfied with State banks, and glad to get them; and will then be in a position to advocate the continued coinage of sil ver in a way that will add to the money in circulation and be productive of no distrust. On the other hand, the men representing the mining States, oppose any and every increase of the currency which does not involve free coinage. We have stood by them and helped them secure an increase of currency by means of f rco coinage. Now, if they were not utterly selfish, they would stand by us in our desire to enlarge the circulation by the issue of State bank notes. After that shall be done, as I hope and be lieve will be accomplished, the -silver question will again come to the front, and the use of silver as money secured. While Senator Coke of Texas, in his speech against the repeal of the Sherman act, was speaking of the efforts of New York bankers to influence financial leg islation, he was interrupted by Mr. Vance who said he had a letter bearing on that point which he would read to the Senate. It was a letter received by Mr. I. H.Foust, of Salisbury, N. C, from E. D. Shepard Si CO., bankers, of No. 3 Broad street, New York. The letter declines the offer of a loan and adds: "The Senators from your country are not looked upon as pro moters of the general welfare. If their stand represents the views of your people on financial matters, it will bo very diffi cult for you to secure any accommoda tion from capitalists in this section until there is a decided change." There is a rumor here to-day that six teen Republican Senators and five Demo cratic Senators have signed an agreement to filibuster to the extreme limit of time and to prevent a vote on the Voorhees bill. If this rumor should prove true, it is a very serious state of affairs. There is no rule in the Senate by which debate can be cut off, and if as many as twenty one Senators bind themselves to prevent a vote, it is difficult to see how.a vote can soon be reached. The important matter is that whatever is to be done should be done quickly. So far as the South is concerned, we are particularly interested that final action shall be taken before October 1st otherwise there is an almost certainty that our cotton crop will be sacrificed. I do not believe that the rumor is well founded, and I feel sure thAt a vote will bo taken this month. mm The Pan American Medical Congress is in session here. It has attracted hun dreds of distinguished doctors from all sections of the world. Among those from North Carolina are Dr. Albert Auderson of Wilson; Dr. IL II. Lewis, of Raleigh, and Dr. Wm. A. Graham, of Charlotte, and others are expected. During the session of the conference Dr. Carl Von Ruck will give his views on the climate of western North Carolina, with a consideration of the relative value of high and medium altitudes in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis. m m m The President and his family have re turned after an absence of two months at Gray Gables. There has existed much apprehension on the score of the health of our Chief Magistrate, and many have feared that he was suffering from a can cer. This fear gained ground from the publication of a circumstantial sounding account of how an operation was per: formed on Mr. Benedict's yacht. Now that Mr. Cleveland is back, looking strong and well, the truth seems to bo that he had an operation performed that was necessitated by a very bad tooth; that the operation was successful; and that he has recovered from the effects of the operation and from tho weariness which too much work last spring brought upon him. ' He was at the theatre Satur day night, and those who saw him say that he never looked better in his life. It is devoutly to bo hoped that he may be spared many years to serve his coun try with the continued patriotism and ability that have always maiked his pub lic career. Senator Sherman's set speech on the financial question lias been one of the features of the week. He was very vig orous in defending his record, and said that any man who said that silver was demonetized by a trick or a fraud was a liar. It is reported that Mr. Stewart will reply to that part of his speech and make things spicy. Here is a story from the Senate cloak room, says the Ist. It was just after Senator Sherman had finished his great speech in favor of the repeal of the bill which bears his name. Senator Jones, of Nevada, according to the story, insist ed that all the facts about the way the silver law came to be agreed upon in conference had never been told. Turning to a group of Senators he said that he would tell the history of that legislation in the conference committee, and here it is: "They were all sitting around in the conference room when I came in with my ultimatum, which was 4,500,000 ounces a month. Oh, if that is all,' said Mr. Walker, of Massachusetts, who was one of the conferees on the part of the House, 'we might as well go. That ends it. It is. all over.' ifr. Walker started toward the door, but before he had gone far I said to him: 'Perhaps you Republicans, and you Mr. Walker, will be interested in what I am going to say. I am sure that Mr. Sherman will be interested, and I guess all of you wilL With that Mr. Walker came back, but did not take ahair. I continued: 'Now I want to tell you gentlemen that the McKinley bill will be over in the Senate in a very short time. If you reject our ultimatum on the silver proposition the silver men in the Senate will move the free-coinage bill as an amendment of the McKinley bill, and there are epougb. Democrats who will vote with us to carry it. Now, after that amendment is adopt ed in the Senate all the Democrats will vote against the McKinley bill because it is a protective measure, and the Eastern protectionists in the Senate will vote against; it because it contains free silver. The free silver Republicans in the Senate will vote for it, and being protectionists they will bo the only consistent men in the Senate, being for protection and for free coinage of silver.' When I got through "they were all listening to me, and before the conference broke up the silver purchase law, known as the Sher man act, was agreed to." Senator Jones is known as one of the best story-tellers in the Senate, but this is one of the most interesting that he has told his Senatorial friends for some time. The present discussion of political plat forms and what they are made for re calls a colloquy that took place between Gen. Averill and Congressman O'Neill, of Missouri, during the naval rendezvous at Hampton Roads last spring. The Board of Governors of the National Sol diers' Home was in session at Old Point, and on a Sunday morning its members were invited over to inspect the Home at -Hampton and to review the several thousand veterans living there. Gen. Averill asked Mr. O'Neill to accompany the party, and the Missourian refused because, like a good Catholic, he had to go to mass. Gen. Averill persisted, and as the Congressman was obdurate re marked: "Why, John, j ou stick as close to your religious as you do to your political plat form." "Well," responded O'Neill quickly, "they are both intended to get in on." The House has devoted the past week to a discussion of the new rules presented by the Committee on Rules. There has been much kicking by Democrats as well as Republicans, but except for the lively debate between ex-Speaker Reed and Speaker Crisp, the debate has been al most without interest for the general public. The chief change in the rules is to constitute one hundred a quorum in a committee of the whole. At last the long agony is over and Hon. F. M. Simmons has been appointed Collector of Internal Revenue for the Eastern District of North Carolina. This is the best bit of news I have written for many days. I' hope that before this month is out Chas. B. Aycock, Esq., will be appointed U. S. District Attorney. Mr. Cleveland is now back at the helm and, unless all signs fail, we may look for changes in many other offices. The publicans have already held on too long and it is high time that they give way to better men. Mr. Wm. F. Lewis, of North Carolina, has been appointed assistant surgeon in the army with the rank of first lieutenant. Mr. Thos. M. Robertson, who repre sented Randolph county in the last Legis lature, has been appointed to a position in the Interior Department at a salary of $1,600 per year.. Mr. W. W. Long, a member of the House from Warren county, has secured a position in the Agricultural Depart ment. Mr. W. W. Scott, editor of the Lenoir, -Topic, who is chief of a division in the Treasury Department, is at home on a visit. He has made many friends here. He is one of the best of Tar Heels, and is succeeding finely here, Forty-five clerks and chiefs in the Land Office have gone out to Oklahoma to aid in opening the strip on the 16th inst. Among them are Geo. McCorkle, of Newton, and A. C. Shaw, of Rocking ham. m m m R. B. Evans, of the Wilson Advance and Capt. T. D. Smith, late of the Clin ton Cawjasian typographical force, has been appointed to places in the Govern ment Printing office. Capt. Smith work ed on the Caucasian during the campaign but never flinched in his Democracy. Among the visitors are: Miss Kirk land, of Raleigh; J. A. Harrell, at Wel don, E. if. Caldclaugh, of Greensboro; P. H. Hanes, of Winston; V. V. and A. S. Richardson, of Columbus; John B. Neal, of Rockingham; Chief Justice Shep herd, who was returning from the World's Fair; Miss Lucy Barrett, of Halifax; Miss Kate Cheshire, of Tarboro; E. L. Shu ford, of Hickory; C. A. Matthews, of Charlotte and 100 others going to and coming from the World's Fair. J. D. Harrell and the Teachers. From the Southern Educator. Citizens of Raleigh propose a ''Com mittee of Arbritration and Award" to investigate the Harrell matter. The plan suggested is radically defective. The Southern Educator objects. It objects to the good people of Raleigh lending themselves to Mr. Harrell's scheme to "white wash" Mr. Harrell. Let there be an investigation, but let it come from the proper source. Mr. Harrell conducted this party "wholly under the auspices of tho TWhAra' Atspmhlv " and to it he is responsible. Let President J. J. Blair call a meeting or the executive tommu tpfl tn determine the Dlan and manner of investigation. There must be no white washing. STORM ECHOES. OVER SEVEN HUNDRED LIVES LOST IN THE HURRICANE LAST WEEK. A Sad Condition ot A II airs on the Sooth Carolina Sea Island Starvation Threatening the Survivors The Storm in North Carolina. Monday, August 28th was a day never to be forgotten along the South Atlantic Coast, on account of the fearful hurricane that raged for nearly 38 hours. It start ed on the Southern coast of Florida and moved rapidly northward through Geor gia and North and South Carolina carry ing death and destruction in its path. It was most destructive along the coast. Though reports were at first very much exaggerated, the loss of life will probably aggregate 800; scores of ships were wreck ed; the destruction of property ana dam age to the growing crops in beyond esti mation. The hurricane center passed over or very near Savannah, Augusta, Char lotte, and Lynchburg. In the belt of country between Char leston and Savannah the storms wiped up the homes as well as the growing crops and left the people in a terrible state of destitution. At Charleston six persons were killed and two injured and others are missing, ine streets were tuiea witn debris. The loss to property is estimated to be over one million dollars. Ihis amount of cyclone insurance was held by the people of Charleston, however, since their experience of 1885, and will greatly offset the damage. Savannah sustained heavy damage m the loss of life and paoperty. About for ty lives were lost and ten million dollars worth of property destroyed.' It was the centre of the storm. On the South Carolina sea islands was the greatest loss of life and property These islands, with Port Royal Island, have a population of about 15,000, most ly nesrroes, engaged in raising long staple cotton and working phosphate fields. Over seven hundred and nfty persons on these islands are known to have been drowned. Many lives were lost that will never be reported, being covered with sea weed or washed away. The crops are destroyed. The is no work and star vation is imminent. An address has been prepared callingjipon the American peo ple for help Sullivan's Island, near Char leston, was submerged and a hotel des troyed. The damage to crop3 and property throughout South Carolina and Georgia was very great. The storm also reached into Virginia and Maryland. The rain fall at Baltimore was heavy, wharves were submerged, small boats washed ashore, and many thousand dollars worth of property destroyed. IN NORTH CAROLINA. In this State the storm was not so se vere, although considerable damage was done. At Kernersville the cyclone wreck ed a hundred buildings and one woman was killed. Factories, stores and dwell ings were unroofed and some were blown entirely away. At Oxford a large brick warehouse, was completely wrecked and one man in jured. At Wilmington the wind Diew lorty- nine miles per hour. Several houses were wrecked, wood and lumber washed away and boats broken loose from their moorings. k At Soutbport the wind blew seventy- eight miles per hour and the wharves were badly torn up. At Wrightsville the bath houses were all washed away and a washout on the railroad stopped passing taains. At Washington over fa, 000 worth or property was destroyed a portion of the town inundated and much property wash ed away. A number of vessels were wrecked along our coast. At Corn Cake inlet the schooner, three bisters, or Philadelphia, was wrecked, and captain and mate drowned. At Caswell beach two vessels were wrecked, but the crews of both saved. Schooner Gregory had two men washed overboard and drowned. A large four masted vessel was sighted far out at sea off Southport on Tuesday. But one mast was standing. A wrecked Darkentine with a British ensign displayed on the mizzen mast was sighted off Ocean View on Tuesday. A feeble attempt to hoist a sail proved that someone was on board, but she could not he reached trom land. At Morehead the storm was very severe the breakers running a hundred feet high. Several bath houses were destroy ed. The masts were carried away from two large schooners- riding at anchor. The tin roof was blown on the Dan room of the Atlantic hotel. At Beaufort a Norwegian bark lost all her spars and will probably prove a total loss. Another lost her bowsprit, both anchors, foremast and rudder and was beached near Topsail sound. In Mecklenburge county, Ue Observer says, the damage to crops is immense. Corn is blown down and warped in every conceivable shape. The blades on the corn look like whip-lashes.
