' : The original money of earlier ages
f of the worldfwaa' coined metal: gold
and silver were used as amedium of
exchange first by weight only, as
' the era advanced in civilization the
mints were opened for coining them
into coins, which was a greater con
venience to the people. Civilization
moved slowly In the begining con
sequently the variation between the
value of gold and- silver - was not so
well understood as at present Gold
has ' been the measuring metal
throughout the : world's history,
. Silver rises and falls, la the origin
there was no money except gold and
silver. To find what money- is we
must .start at the beginning and
Tfraceitto the present time if the
trutfh in this jreat problem, is what
we want, " and ; certainly no man
should want to cast his ballot for
anything but truth and justice. Bare
- in mind this, my friends, that at first
a lump of silver1 worth a dollar was
the value of the coin wanted before
Turning the same, its value ' was just
the same as after made into the coin
and after its beingcoinedand melted
again and made, a lump. . The piece
in passing through', all these, pro
cesses, has not changed its value.'
This is the way of gold today Coin
ing and vuncoining - does not
change its exchangeable value
the stamp of the government put
upon the coin did not, ' nor never
was, intended to change the value
of the metal. 1 Neither were the
legal tender' qualities given such
coin to intend,- to increase its value,
j but to define and orce the creditor
, . to take such coin as being recog-
r. . nizedy by ; the governments--of the

that Olney 's modified proposition of

A Special Effort la being Made to Get
an hxhibit from Every Manufac
turing Enterprise in the State.
. i Regardless of Size.
President Cameron and Secretary
Nichols are making every effort to
make this the most successful fair
we have ever had. A -special effort
is to be made to get North Carolina
Manufacturers to make exhibits. To
this end a letter was addressed to
all manufacturers in the State today.
Among other things President Cam
eron says:
The great object of the State Fair
is toexhibit as farasposhiblt; the re
sources and industries of the State.
North Carolina has made more rapid
progress in manufacturing enter
prises during the last, twentv years
than any other State in the Union;
but with the exception of ,the State
Exposition in 1884 our manufactur
ers have taken little interest in
showing their goods at State Fairs.
The managers for the present year
will make special efforts to secure,
if possible, a small exhibit at least,
some small article from every manu
facturing establishment in the State,
These articles will all be properly
labelled and arranged in a Division
in the main building, to be known
as an "Index to North Carolina In
dustries. " It matters not how
small the article, all will receive the
the same attention. Of course some
exhibitors may wish to haven dis
play of their own; so much the bet
ter if they do we have ample room
for all.
There is not a manufacturing
establishment in the State that can
not send something.
Cotton Mills can send a bolt or
half bolt bt Plaids, bunch of Ywns
or Twins, etc.
It. is hoped that every manufactur
ing establishment in the State will
send something, be it ever so small.
Every article will be well cared for
and returned at the close of the Fair,
unless otherwise directed.
Let the exhibit be truly an Index
to North Carolina Industries.
The foregoing plan is hot intended
to supersede the separate exhibits
expected from some of the largest
establishments in the State.
The committee appointed to ar
range a program of horse racing at
the State fair were at work today in
Secretary Nichol's office. The com
mittee is composed of Col. Cameron,
Mr. Plummer Batchelor and Capt.
B. P, Williamson, The committee
will complete the program at
the earliest possible. moment and
give it out for publication. t
It was decided that the' total
amount of the purses to be offered
should approximate $2,500. The
purses will range - all the way from
$150 to $300.

THE "RALEIGH" BOWL.
The Beautiful Souvenir Which Will
Adora Our Cruiser.
The punch bowl, which is the
gift of many of the citizens of North
Carolina for the honor of naming the
Cruiser Raleigh after the capital
city of the State has arrived and is
on exhibition at the jewelry store of
H. Mahler's Sons,. - . ,
The bowl is surprisingly large in
size, it is elaborately massive, hand
some in design and the perfection of
a jeweler's art-- .The , workmanship
is the most superb ever seen here,'
Raleigh and the rest of the State
though laggard in 'securing it, can
well feel proud of the testimonial
which they present to their name
sake," The bowl is elegantly finished,
being inlaid with gold, 'The coni
ventionai dolphines adorn the out
side of the bow, forming four panels,
on which are etched a picturesque
likness of the Cruiser Raleigh, the
inscription "The United States
Cruiser Raleigh from citizens of
North Carolina, 1896, and seals of
the Navey and State of North Caro
lina on' the other two sides. The
etchings : are exquisitely done, the
reproduction of the Crusier Raleigh,
being true to nature in every detail.
The general ornaments, which
stand oilt in relief are very tasty
and appropriate, being for the prin
cipal part shells, seaweeds and
such like. The finishings are in
oxodized silver. The capacity of
the bowl is 6 gallons and it contains
340 ounces of sterling silver, very
near 30 pounds.
The ladle is also a beautiful piece of
wormanship. A bust of Sir Walter
Raleigh is prominent on the handle
and below it are, the letters Raleigh
Governor Carr inspected the bowl
yesterday and was very much
pleased with it. In fact it has been
admired generally by those who
have seen it.
The designers, Messrs. H. Mah
ler's Sons are to be congratulated
upon their excellence of taste, and
also upon the splendid workmanship
displayed in the service. No pains
were spared in the perfection of the
bowl.
The bowl was made by the firm of
Dominick & Hoff, of New York.
They write that it is the most mag
nificent and handsome single piece
of silver yet presented to vessels of
the navy,
' The bowl will continue to be dis
played at the store of Mahlers for
some days and the firm invites the
public to visit their store and see it-

The Star can . say " that : Mr,"

sound strange in view of the state

years ago, with the internee that

a Star reporter, that the pressure ' ''
for a notification of the - Populist . .'
nominees has been too heavy for " j
those opposed to such a course to
resist and that the managers of the 1
PopU list campaign have formal ly iv .'
come to the conclusion that notifies ! ' ."

Just exactly when the notification' ' t t
will be made has not been decided
upon, but it is probable that the
manner has." There will be no big'
