The. following eminent political j economists have made declarations that are suitable at this time, j ; ) Ia-ou Fauchet (1843), in Research es upon Gold and Silver, says: l If all the nations of Kurope adopted the system of Great Britain the price of gold would be raised be- yonu measure, ana we slioulu see. producetl in Knrope a result lamen table enough. . j Before a French monetary conven tion in 18Gy; testimony was giyen by the late M. Wolowski and by' liaron Rothschild. M. Wolowski said; The sum total of the precious metals is reckoned at! fifty milliards, oue-half gold and one ltalf silver. If, by a stroke of the pen, they sup press one of 'these metals in, the monetary service, they double the demand'for the other metal, to the ruin of all debtors j.. . Baron Rothsehildsaid: j J I'he' simulianeoifs employment of thd two precious metals is satisfac rtoiy and gives rise to no complaiut. Whether gold or silver dominates for the time being, it is always true that the two metas concur together in forming tlie monetary circulation of the world, and it is the general mass of the.: two metals combined which serves as the measure of the value of things. - The suppression of silver would amount to a veritable destruction of values without any compensation. '.''' At thesession (October 30,1. 1873) of the Belgian monetary commission. Professor Laveleye said: ' - DehtoTS, ami among them ' the State, have the right to pay : in gold or silver, andthe right can not be taken away without disturbing the relation of debtors and creditors, to the prejudice of the debtors, to the extent of perhaps one-half certainly of one-third.- To increase all debts at a blow is a measure so violent, so revolutionary, that I can not believe that the government will propose it, or that the Chambers will vote it. William It. Crawford:, Secretary of the Treasury, in ' .a report (Feb ruaiT 12, 1820) to Congress, says; . All intelligent writers on currency agree tht when it is decreasing in amount, Myerty and misery must prevail. Prof. Francis Waylaud, in his work. "Elements of I'ohtical Jcon omy," which is taught in our schools and colleires, says; i j . If'thereis more inoneyliu acouu- .trv than1 is needed for its exchanges, the price of goods is raised and it is sent abroad fdr hew pirrchuses. If there is a scarcity of money! in a country, the price of goods declines, and money coTmesin from other lands to be exchanged for them. ; ( Francis Bo wen, ' in his work, "American Political Economy, says;1 In the other case,' if the currency of any nation should fall below the average proportion to jits wants, the price "of. alt merchandise there would fall, they being exchanged against a similar .amount; of money. The equalization of juices. ' i J. S. Mill says; M If the whole nioiiey in: circulation was doubleil, prices would be doubled; is it was only increased one-fourth,. prices would rise one fourth. Thomas Cook tisays: Hence new issAielTwill be found for it when it is ahiraidant, irewiiveuues qf commerce wJll be- opened, new branches of industries- will be essayea until increased production finds em- ploylnent for the jnqrease ot money.

In order to make rooni for these banks, a taxi of 10 ! per cent was placed upon State bank issues, which was prohibitory. The law gives 'them the privilege of tak ing out currency or not as they may choose, Under this they can expand the 'volume of currency to! 90 per cent of the entire national debt, or contract it - to a mere jnominal amount. This is a privilege grant ed by no other nation and is danger ous in the extreme. ' With a capital of $084,755,864; these banks hare taken out only $l?2,000,,0qoj in cur rency. This statement proves con clusively that it is .the power to con trol the volume of. currency that these banKS seek to possess., Haying, secured the passage of an act limit ing the issue of greenbacks, to $34.6, 000,000, and silver to $4,500,000 each month, they , can manipulate the entire currency of the nation at will. By a concert of aetipri they can lock up the currency and bring ou a panic whenever it serves' their interest. This banking system' is a part of the conspiracy entered into early in the war. As evidence of this, the fallowing, known as the Ilazzard circular, is printed; Slavery is likely to be abolished by the Avar power, and chattel sla very will be destroyed. This I and my European friends are in favor of for slavery is but the care of" the laborer, while the EuroTean plan ! led in by England .is "capital control !?ood will certainly come and prog of labor by controlling wages."

It is claimed that no such!cii,cuUir was ever written; but there is suffi cient1 evidence of the. fact to 3(oii viuce any reasonable person. - There is little doubt that the compact ,eh- f tered into then is in full force at the present time. As a sample j of the methods made use of by thesp insti tutions, the following, known as th'c Buell circular. It is advisable to do all in your power to1 sustain all such daily and prominent weekly newspapers, es pecially the agricultural and religi ous press, as wiU oppose the issuing of greenback paper money, and that you will also'withhold patronage or favors from all who 'will not oppose the government issue , ot money.

National watobiuan. 1 If there is one word above another in the English language that should be correctly interpreted at the pres ent time, and its meaning fully and clearly established and" understood, it is the word duty. . . i Qf all the requirements that wait upon inan hood at the present mo ment', the demand for an intelligent and' complete discharge of duty stands paramount. ; ! To know one's duty, and have the ' courage to perform rf, is not only the crying necessity of the hour,' but the one great factqj- in all- future progress and future reforms. This is true because .cowardice in some form or other is" tne prevailing sin among the American people. ' This has grown to such an extent as to he come tho rule, and not the exception and to-day the United States; is most-. ly-i nation of cowards; not-physical ly cowards, although there are great numbers of them, but moral cowards in every sense of the term. Stand on the street corner, and for every true man that passes carrying" with him the courage- of his. convictions, a thousand will pass by, each bear ing a load of some' .species of cow ardice. Of these various forms the political coward outnumbers -them all. It remains for him to take the lead in cringing servility and abject negation of all claims to ' independ ent manhood. This class has be come a dangerous and contaminat ing influence in society and a stand ing menace to every depaitrnent "of government. 1 his condition has ob tained so thoroughly and generally that, as a rule, the once proud and i somewhat arrogant American citizen nas ueveiopeu into a iawniug s syco phaut. rHiis loss of independence or character and moral rectitude can be distinctly traced to the ! machine system of politics, which at the pres ent time rules and governs in this country, e -V i auicai cuaiige in mis k i : .... l i i - ii - regard must be made at oiice, and the con- tjoinng eiemeur tnat win enter into mis evoiuron is a conscieniious ana firm discharge of dut-v. ' Duty deiiiands patience, a willing ness to labor in the ranks, aud an earnest desire to do at J times .that fwhich may seem best for the cause of Jieforni. It requires thatHhis polit ica'l prostitution should cease, and independent action based, upon cor rect priiiciplea through honest meth ods shall take its place. It a3ks. every one to take a stand for humanity, and better condition among the peo ple, whether personal profit or per sonal aggrandizement is served bv such action or not. It calls for un selfish and incessant labor, ! for will ing sacrifices and fearless action, ami will consent to nothing less. A Lire Carolina. Towi. Rock y Molxt, N. C.

Although as most of your readers know, Rocky Mount is quite an old town", the Rocky Mount of to-day is a very new one.

This extremelr favorable loi cation, in. itself, would be enough to build up a large and prosperous towa and when we take into consideration the fact that in a couple of years our tobacco market has grown from nothing ' into one of the greatest Markets of the State; that pur ex ceptional facilities for rail road transportation will make this, a great tobacco manufacturing centre, as well as a great tobacco market, it will be seen that the tobacco interests added to our other resources would make Rocky Mount a prosperous city. - y. : . ,.

WRich ards is altout to treat at length very shortly the financial value of prop erly qualified sanitary service. And first, let rue refer to the--amouuU of money charge ujkui r the commnnit arising from the exessive sickness and mortality which We have proyed tobe preVentible by?sound, nanita tiou 1 Some approach may be made to estimate the anmuut" of those charges from the ascertained in comes of the life insurance compa nies, which perhaps do not comprise more thau two thirds of the popula tion. There aiv some ninety-three' df these companies,- comprising' al niost exclusively iniddle-clas'T per- , spus, of which eompjiniv's the an mial income is slatei.! - to be tweuty thrtH' millions; and there ureiilso tne -great frieudly societie. of all sorts, whose aggregate annual insurance charges as stated uHn the author ity of Sir .lames. "Paget' is twenty-. fivtNnillions annually or three times the amount of the Poor's Kutes., The two yieldNtotal of forty-fight mil lions annuatty And if. we could, ascertain the full number of the uninsuretl, I exjecl that thj wlol -would double. the total. bmlget for ' both thearmv and the xnavv, which is'stated to be thirty-two millions. Thus, from the neglect of the saui tary service, anl the continueil bad condition of the defences, we have" an annual invasion of an enemy the form of preventable" disease,! which every year lights .'and wins a battle against the comiminity, and evtry year slays in the I'niU'd Kingdom upward of one hundred thousand of the .people beyond tbe present reduced deal h-rate alt of whom we know, and have proved might have been naved by more efficient sanitation, and at a Having of double the .'annual cost of the naval and' military defences, of the loss for the killed and the wounded. That is to - say, for" one hundred thousand deaths of the classes,' for every death of an adult there is found to be twenty cases of painful sickness and of disablement and leu of work. The total ..estimated jecu-. niary loss from the killed and woun ded. in civil life may by intimated as equalling, ly two thirds, the esti mates voted f by Parliament for the Uovermental ejKiniitiiie of the Em pire. l3ven in this uietrojHilis, the lowest death-rated-plaeo ofariy me tropolis of the chief States of Eu rope, or of New York, or of any great city in the United States, we have shown by what has been done,-'- by partial applications of sanitary de fences, there are up v. an) of twenty thousand killed and wounded au nually whom vliicicut sanitary de fences liiight have saved. . All' this excessive loss of life, a wt-11 as of niouev.wlieii examined, will befouud to be tlue to thewastf ulness- of ig -norance in legislation and in admin istration.
