The prospect of the Southern farmer eern better now than they have been for many years. They hsve come nearer raising their own supplie than they ever did before and they have contracted no debt that they now find themselves un able to pay. And were it not for the fact that many of them are confronted with debt made for several years past. when crops were bad and they were un able to pay what they owed, they would be better off than they hare been for more than a quarter of a century. Our people hare practiced strict economy and we learn tha.t in many counties the pinch of "hard times" has not been felt at all by the agricultural population. The number of crop liens this year is not so great as usual and the amounts are much smaller, while there has been a very great decrease in the number of real estate mortgages. The condition of the entire South is, without doubt, bet- ter than it has been since 1660. To this new and improved condition of affairs the farmer is partly indebted to circumstances over which he had no con- trol, but most especially to new and bet - ter methods adopted on hi farm The planters are to bo congratulated on the outlook and on the fact that thet havarsuuxl thrir own nlit n,! r no longer dependent upon the West for their hay, grain and meat In this matter they have taken a new departure. They are getting out of the old rut and striking out on a highway of prosperity and independence which the price of cotton cannot materially affect. The man w ho raises his own sup plies and keeps out of debt can get along. no matter how low the price of cotton. There w also another departure to nt which we wish to direct the attention the farm -owners of North Carolina, and that is the improvement of their stock. There Is no re.ison why there should not be as many blooded horses and cattle in North Carolina as there are in Kentucky or California. With the dethronement of cotton and the low price of tobacco, our pUnters must cast about them for some means of making ready money, and at present there is no more profitable branch of agriculture than that of stock rassinj. it often proves a source oi greater profit than the crop raised upon the soil. Improved breeds of horses, cat tie and hogs are always in demaud and britr a cm J price.

EdiUrlaX Correspondence. WASHINGTON, D. C, ' 1311 n StrektJ N. W.; October 11th, 1893. The general idea in the South and West is that Mr. Moses D. Harter. mem ber of Congress from Ohio, is a typical ("gold-bug' and is opposed to the in- I crease In the currency which our people I bel'cv is essential to good prices and I prosperous times. It is equally true that ln lnc lwo econa mere is a general 1 belief that the brilliant Mr. Bryan, of I cbraska. Is tne leading cnampion ot an Mncreased circulating medium and stands 119 the exponent of the financial views of the South and West. In an accidental sort of way I had an interesting conver - sat ion with these two celebrities one day last week, and the result of these con - venations will surprise many readers of the North Carousun, particularly when they recall the fact that Mr. Bryan is one of the free coinage leaders and Mr. Harter is the leading opponent of free coinage in the House. I recounted to Mr. Harter the position of Southern Democrats, and their nnchanirine belief that there was pressing need for an en- largement of the currency, and a means of increasing the money when needed. "A sound, safe, and flexible currency, in sufficient volume to do the business of the country;" a currency that would pre- day gave rise, to a rumor that he was street borse cars and take a seat, per vent manipulation, would not depress there to arrange a compromise on the baps, beside the humblest laborer who is prices, nor maKe aeots naruer to pay. . . . Besides this, I gave him a general view of the Southern situation, politically and matcrially.

This is Tom John- son's bill which is being antagonized by son's bill which is being antagonized by the ultra silver men. These were in sub the ultra silver men. These were in sub- . . . stance the plans Mr. narter favored for increasing the money and providing a flexible currency. There is no doubt that with these plans enacted in law 'there would be a radical and healthy change in the financial situation. It would decen tralize the money power, and give a safe and flexible currency.

Mr. Bryan, in response to tho same in- onirics directed to Mr. Harter spoke elo- I" . - - .1 quently and glowingly and truthfully of the "deep damnation of the taking off," of the right of owners of silver bullion to have it coiued and truthfully ascribed much to the hard times, particularly to those in debt.

If tneJ should be defeated, it will be a vie- tory for the Republican-Populist com bine, and Butler and Settle understand that as well as does every man, woman and child in North Carolina. I cannot believe the scheme of these schemers to disrupt the Democratic par ty will succeed. Mr. Grady was the only North Caroli na members who spoke on the Federal election bill. He made an excellent speech which I have heard complimented highly. , This promises to be a week of freaks in the Senate. Yesterday the freak on ex hibition proved to be an apple of enorm ous size, exhibited by Senator Vance, who carried it about in the largest official manilla envilope he could find. - It was fully six inches in diameter, and he showed it with glee as a sample product of the tar state. The Populists Senators smelled of it and declared that had it heen CTOwn under Alliance influences it would have been at least' half as large - RS,An savs a ennrter of the Star I again, says a reporter oi tne oiar, Mr. Thomas, Ruffin, of Wilson North ' Carolina, has been appointed to a posi tion in the Interior Department at $900 He stood the Civil Service examination last spring and owes bis appointment to a good examination. There is nothing new in regard to the opposition to Kope Elias, Esq. Every Democrat ' in both branches in Con- I gress here ravors tits confirmation ex cept Senator Vance. It is probable that Simmons and Elias will not be confirmed for some time to come. Senator Vance opposes the consideration of the confirm ation of Mr. Simmons until the Elias case is settled. How long that will be nobody knows. In the meantime Kope and tho Western Democratic appointees are drawing their salaries, but in the Eastern district Collector White and his Republi can assistants are drawing salaries which Mr. Cleveland wants Mr. Simmons and Democratic officials to receive. The House adjourned early Tuesday afternoon after having passed the. most important bill before that body. There were a number of amendments offered, but every one of them was rejected by a large vote, and the Tucker bill, which wipes out the last vestige of Federal in terference at elections, was passed by a strict party vote of 200 to 101.

He acknowledged his apparent bnt not real inconsistency, sajing that his position was for the pub- lie good, but he asserted in ringing tones iuai iun icyau iii uwuum,M silver. He charged the silver Senators with having accomplished the death of the white metal when they voted for the Sherman law. There was quite a hot de- bate between Senator Voorhees on the one side and Senators Butler and Harris on the other. Concluding Senator Voor- hees said: That the repeal bill would not lh VAtAd TIITht ftnfl Arft fintltleO tOtnei'J ' - - demonetize silver. There was at this time nearly 1618,000,000 of silver cur- rency, $541,000,000 of which was legal tender, and not one dollar of that would lose its Ieiral tender monetary vW On - the contrary the bill was a better friend to silver money than any measure could be which bought silver as corn, wheat.

Mr. Voor- hees defended his position on the ilver m x - question from criticisms upon his incon " w 81stent witn nia wno, PIitical Iife thn be inconsistent with his sense of public duty. "When the Sherman law no longer dis graces the statute book of the nation I am ready to act promptly, and with all the energy I am capable of, to carry out the pledge which this bill contains, said the tall sycamore of tho Wabash. lie j then went on to argue that if the Sena- tors from the silver State had opposed I the passage of the Sherman bill, as he I had opposed it, it would never have brought a blight and curse on the coun try. ' j Among others, Mr. Cockrell, of Mis souri, made a particularly vigorous speech against repeal. He dwelt at some length upon the de monetization of silver. Mr. Palmer finally asked why other Senators beside I Mr. Sherman did not know, in 1873, that I the act of that year was so destructive to MjOCKreu, "Qia not reaa tne aocumenis and reports bearing on the bill, just as J to-day they do not read the documents laid upon their desks. Senator Sherman is the only man who pretended to know what the bill provided for, and ho pre tends now to be as innocent as an un born child." "Innocence seems to have been the general condition of the Senate at that time," replied Mr. Palmer, "Yes; and why ?" asked Mr. Cockrell "Because of the haste with which the bill was rushed through, despite the fact that there was no demand for it whatever. After analyzing, vote by vote, every actionof each subsequent Congress, Mr. Cockrell came to the Sherman act. declared that he had, previous to He the j passage of that act, predicted what would be the result of the execution of J the law by an unfriendly administration, and said that every prediction he had then made had been verified. He op posed it then, and would do so again un der the same circumstances. The Re publicans were not half as anxious to re peal the Sherman act under their own administration as they were under a Democratic administration. Mr. Cock rell denied the right pf the Secretary to redeem Treasury notes with gold, and said it was a violation of the Constitu tion. During his speech there was quite a scene when nr. wnite, 01 Louisiana, ventured to make a remark which Mr. Cockrell characterized as "a miserable subterfuge." This made Mr. White very indignant and he showed his indignation in strong language. "When I made use of the term -miser able subterfuge,' " said Mr. Cockrell, "I used it of course as applying merely to argument, and the Senator from Louis iana knows that it is permissible in that sense. I know nothing of the kind," said Mr. White and he did not seem to be the least mollified by the excuse. m w On Wednesday the test of "physical endurance" begins. What the outcome will be no man can say. At the Democratic caucus Monday night it was decided to press the Tucker bill and to wipe out the last vestige of the Federal election law. Good ! J. D. DR.

Charlotte Observer. Secretary Hoke Smith, last Saturday, made a promotion which meets with gen- uinecoinmendation in Democratic circles. It was the apnoimucnt of Mr. Josephus Daniels, of Raleigh, N. C. as chief clerk of the Interior Department. Mr. Daniels has held four positions since the fourth of ftlan-h. and as each change has marked a higher step for him, hts menus wonder what will come next to the young North Carolinian. Mr. Daniels says he is 31 years old. but as his face is as smooth as a woman's and his eyes twinkle like twin stars, some are prepared to doubt that he is over twenty-five. Josephus Daniels is well known in North Carolina. He has the polities of tho State at his finger ti'j and visitors to t he national capitol never fail to cull on him. lie s the own er and editor of the IUleigh North Car OLIN,Av tho biirirt-kt Democratic, ww-klv in the Old North State. He has been monkeying witn the tjes since a tender ago, has serveu in every capacity from "devil" to editor and knows everything about a newspaier from the business of fice to the arxxie ot the think pan and shears. Mr. Daniels had a small printing press and published the V llson "Jioya' Wetk y," while yet a seholar. When he was seventeen he bought out the WilmmJlc vance. In five years he runup its circu lation from 250 to 2,500. The young editor wanted a larger field, so ho sold and departed for Kaleigh, the State Cap ital, where he obtained a controlling in terest in the North Carolinian, which he still retains. Like many another good fellow who has entered the portals of newspaperdoni, it is the ruling passion with him. He devotes his snare time nights to writing for his paper from here. i lie legislature of North Carolina has four times made Mr. Daniels public prin ter over powerful and lMipular competi tors. Ho was one or the forenuwt news paper men fo fight against the reduction of comiHMsitors's rates in his State, and invariablv has tho sumtort of the Typo graphical Union for public printer, lie . is also a member of the school board In Raleigh, and has been a firm friend of. the public schools of his city and State. Mr. Daniels was transferred from the place of appointment clerk to this pre sent position. He came in contact with' all the public men in that jxwition and has inafle many warm friends among them. He believes in filling the ofllccs with Democrats and as a consequence there few if any places left in tho Inter ior Department filled by copleof the op posite jxditical persuasiou. He will, of course, return to his native State when his term expires ami his friends here predict for him a particular ly bright future. Washington Cor. At lanta Journal.' RANSOM ON THE NITRATION.

Ho could not tell, he mini, what (ho result would be, but that a compromise would bo ef fected; that his chief object had been to secure for the country a sound and am ple currency of gold, silver and paper., lie was nptHttseu to the unluiiiied coin age of silver because that would derange the system contemplated by tho Demo; cratic party when in their platform they demanded such "safeguards of legisla tion" as would keep the currency stable, and its different dements interconverti ble. He wanted to "make safe" tho money that went into the hands or 104 people. Bi-metallism by limitation was his idea that is to put into the currency system all that it would bold without collapsing; which could le done only by a judicious limitation of its coinage. .
