We do not believe in honde gold bonds, or any other bonds that impose grievous burdens upon ratare generations but, when cir-, stances make it necessary to issue j bonds in order to preserve tbe ' national credit, it must be done. Condemn those who are responsi-! ble for the necessity, but protect the national honor. The taking of human life is dreadful, but no Gov- eminent hesitates 'o do it in ue fease of ita honor; and the offering of oneself on the altar of bis coun try is the highest pledge ot patri otism and the surest way to deathless fame. For the failure to provide a safe and adundant currency Congress ia censurable, but the President is not to blame for issuing bonds whan brouebt to the alternative of bonds or repudiation. ! We return to our original propo- j sition, that the wedlock of Gold i and Silver is a holy alliance which no man can annul and be guMtleas. Commerce and national credit de mand gold, and the every day life ofthemaasea demands eilrer. A paper currency is a nine ua non, bat it should be a Constitutional Currency redeemable with Gold and Silver, THE PKESIBESTf JUS FBfESDS ASD ESEMIES. We are not of those who con demn everything the President does beeasse he is G rover Cleve land. Indeed there is very much in this same Grover Clevoiaod (bat we admire. He is brave, resoutel aad J honest believes in himself aad diaeoots everybody who don't believe ia him. There is nothing wrong so far. Furthermore, he stands for tbe honor of his country, aad is for protecting the rights of Americans alj over the world. There are two things in which we totally disagree with tbe Presi dent: Civil service and money, air. Cleveland is honest in his con ricjioas and there is no way cf driving him from them. All politicians see clearly that the Democratic party has ioef by the steady refusal of the Adminis tration to toru out Republican?, bat Mr. Cleveland would let the whole bottom out before he would deviate from his convictions ot duty. If the Democratic party can't succeed while doing what is right, "I will not help it to success by doing wrong." That is clearly the Cleveland idea, and, while we disagree with him in ibe righteous ness of retaining Republicans in office, we must admire the Spartan virtue of tbe man. As -to the Currency, he is equally conscientious. He was called to tbe Presidency, in the first in stance, when be was a novice in public affairs. If he had opinions oa finance, coey were, auccpuui Democratic theories without sound ing their hidden depths, and, as a consequence, be made no attempt, in his first Administration, to play the role of a Master of Finance After bis retirement from the Presidency, he located in tbe City of New York, and gratuated in tbe Well street school of Finance. Is he honest in bis opinions ? V e do ot boubt it. Bi-metallist Silver ite if yoa please we do not endorse tbe words of Senator Wolcott when he says : "The President's wanton attack upon the credit of the tlnited States has been the most disastrous occurrence of this generation. It has been the most wanton, and criminal and deliber ate attack upon the credit of our country that could be indulged in.' Following in the wake of Senator Wolcott, Senator Teller character izsd the bond transaction as one of tbe most scandalous that has oc curred in public affairs in fifty years. But, it must be remem bered that Senators Wolcott and Teller are extreme Stiver men. Nothiog will do them but silver, and they attack the President in tbe spirrt of assassins. They may be as virtuous as Brutus, but they are nevertheless assassins, mad dened by tbe opposition of tbe President to their wishes and to what tbey believe to be the inter ests of their constituents. Senator Hill has always been the personal opponent of JJr. Cleve land, yet in the course of this de bate, the New York Senator said : "i know it has bceu of late said here and elsewhere that the Presi dent of tbe United States should have done this and he should have done that, and it has been asked why be did not iasue bonds for a less term of years 1 Why did he not secure a less rate of interest Senators forget and the public for. get that tbe President was ham pered by an odd statute tbat absolutely dictated to bim sub stantially tbe terms under which he could Issue bonds. It be has been driven into a corner, if be has been compelled to make a harsh bargain in behalf of this country, it is because of tbe non-action of this Congiees, supposed to be con trotted by tbe Democratic parry."

The Change Tnat Serin! at Unr tr Doors The Gxl Likely to Result and the Evil. Tbe New Sooth is a phrase with which we have for some time been familiar. We are persuaded, how ever, tbat it has anticipated a period which it will still more folly describe. Tbe new order of things supposed to be indicated by this phrase, has never been fully inaugurated in tbe South, and especially in tbe Carolinas. Tbe time has come, however, when this guest knocks at our doori, and must be taken in and provided for. It may seem a difficult, and to some a very disagreeble thing to be forced to admit a guest which will not hear or accept any explan ation, and .rill therefore not be turned awaj; but it is inevitable, The New South is upon us indeed, and tbe signal of her advent is tbe hum of machinery. New Kcgland, no longer able to bold ont against odds, is literally shipping herself to the Carolinas and the South. This New Sonth then, being properly interpreted is only a superannuated Noitb, coming to the South by the fjree of changed conditions. This being true, we have only to know what tbe Old North is, in order to under stand what the New South will be. Everything connected with this new order of things is not the most gratifying to tbe Old Southerner. It is not the bum of machinery or tbe smrke of furnaces, tbat has made great history for New Eng land and Pennsylvania. These have made great wealth, but their; best manhood dates prior to this era of phenomenal fortunes. They I were great in all tbat goes inte tbe accouot of manhood, when they were poorer. The greatest danger in the ad vent of this new order of tbiog is the process already begun ol abandoning tbe old homes in the country to engage in tbe work ot the factory. There are doubtless many in the country whose circum stances would jastily such acbarge. Bat it will not he so well fo the Sooth if tbe good, substantial citizenship of the country pouts into tne towns, and lades away in the common mass of population which is to wear itre-11 away in tbe monotony of wage working. TJlose in good homes and comparatively easy circumstances, cannot po-ei-bly better condition by such a change. Floods and droughts, storms and even starvation prices, such as lonr or five cent cotton, c .n never bring such a adversity and suffering as strikes and long 1 suspensions in tbe factories. The BUfering of manufacturing communities has never been exhi bited in tbe South, simply because such enterprises have not devel oped to the magnitude of Northern concerns, and because most of our manufacturing enterprises have been managed by men with the spirit of humanity. Another danger to be guarded j in this new order of things is that of tbe possible neglect to supply promptly these new manufacturing com mujji ties with the gospel. It is remarkable how rapidity one of these communities can lapse into a state of semi heathenism. A little Sunday afternoon chapel work is not sufficient. jf we should hold them against the inroads of moral perversity, we must plant our selves among them, and keep in intimate touch with them. Nothing but prompt aggressive gospel work, on a level with the people can save this New South from degra- gation. lfaleigh Christian Advo cate. FKOM TIIF N.VlluNAI. CV I'll A I..
