WHAT THE UNIVERSITY OF
, FEKS TO YOUNGEN. , !
Within the past two months over
11 thousand letters have boon receiveq
at. Chapel Hill, inquiring what the
Universitv offers to young men. Lot
us answer this question briefly, for
the benefit of the thousands who have
not written and who do not know
how easily they may secure within
North Carolina the very best oppor
tunity for broad and liberal culture.
THE UNIVERSITY OFFERS TO YOUNG MEN.
1. Five general courses of study ;
each differing from the other, and
each furnishing a broad liberal edu
cation. Thero are a Latin and Greet
course, a; Latin course, a Scienco
course,a Literary course, and Math
ematics (or engineering) course. Each
of these courses secures a degree, and
requires ordinarily four vears of study
The variety of courses is intended to
meet the needs of various young men
who have different purposes in lif9.
In each course the studies of the first
two vears are fixed, but the studies
of the last two years may be selected
mainly by the student under the ad
vice of the Faculty. . A student is
thus enabled, not only ? to select a
course of study carefully arranged to
give him general culture, but also to
shape tnat course uy wise selection
in the last two vears so as to fit him
for some special profession. :
2. Six briof courses of study ; each
requiring two years of study and ar
ranged for, the benefit of young men
who have not the timo or the means
to spend four years at college. JThese
courses are intended to supply the
briefest possible preparation for busi
ness, for law, for, teaching, for farm
ing for medicine, ' for " journalism ;
and each course includos only those
studies essential, to the profession
selected '- '
37 Three professional courses ; in
Engineering, in Medicine and Phar:
macy, and in Law. - Each- of v these
courses furnishes special technical
training under accomplished and ex
perienced teachers. ;ii
4. An unlimited number of special
courses. These special courses are
in any subject that the student de
sires. He may confine himself to one
subject, if he prefers. A great many
students have taken special f courses
in Chemistry, fitting themselves to
be chemists ; while othera have taken
special courses in drawiiig and drau
ghting, or in Eng.ish Literature, or
in Greek, - "or in Philosophy, or in
History. Any, study taught in the
University may bo selected for a
special course, and it may be pursued
as long as the student desires.
5. Graduate courses. ' These are
offered in all studies to graduates of
colleges or universities who wish.
wpecial advanced training to fit them-1
selves better for professional life, or
for literary careers, ; or"for teaching
in colleges. "Five students pursued
these courses last year, two ministers-
two teachers and a journalist.

CLEVELAND AND THE
SURPLUS-
' .....
WHY i HE BOUGHT BONDS AND DEPOSITED
THB SURPLUS IN BANKS THERE WAS
, ' NOTHING ELSI HONEST TO DO
, 'WITH IT.
Some one in Tarboro, N. C, has
beenwriting to that able expounder
oi political and commercial views,
the New York Journal of Commerce,
in regard to gome of. the "trumped
up" charges against President Cleve
land. . We copy the letter"' in ques
tion and the Journal's reply as fol
lows : . - j
i Tarboro, N. 0., July 7, 1892.
Editor of the Journal of Commerce :
Alliancemen have been prejudiced against
Cleveland by. the charges of the reform
prees that he is nnder domination of Wall
street, referring particularly to the course
of his administration in the purchase of
government bonds and the depositing of
money with certain banks in New York to
avert panics of severe contractions of tne
currency. Will you please review this
feature of his administration and say wheth
er or not the above charge is jasir D. G,
Reply -Before ' the end of President
Cleveland's term of ofnoe there was a large
and increasing surplus in the Treasury for
wnicu tne government naa no need, this
money have been locked up and hoarded,
it might have been wasted in extravagant
appropriations, used in the 1 purrhrts) of
bonds or deposited in -banks tot the use of
the people. The first and second of these
plans did not commend themielves to the
President, and he used some of the monav
in the payment and purchase of bonds, aud
some ol it be p.aced on deposit in national
banks. It is incumbent upon those who
object to these methods to point out some
better or more equitable disposition that
might have been made of the surplus. It
is no answer to say that it never should
have been collected because Mr. Cleveland
was not responsible for this, and be himself
urged that the collection of a larger revenue
than the "govern meat ' needed should be
stopped.1 During thtt'last campaigu the
Deinooratiq Preudeut and Secretary of the
Treasury were criticised very sharply by
rome Kepubiican sneakers for keminer
pumio - money on deposit in tne national
banks, but the Republicans had raids the
same disposition of publio funds before
and have done it since. - The deposits are
made under authority, of Section 45. of the
national currency, act of June 3; 1864. as
follows 1 'All associations nnder this act.
wneu designated Ijr tnat purpose bv the
oocreiary i i,ne reasury, snail be - depos
itaries or public money, ""except recemta
from cnstoms.i under such, regulations as
may oe prescribed Dy tne Secretary, and
thej may be also employed as financial
agent j of the government ; and they shall
perlorm all suca reasonable duties, as de
positaries of publio moneys and financial
agents of the government, as may be re
quired of them." The Secretary is further
authorized atd required to demand of the
banks sufficient Security for the safe keep
ing of the money, by " the deposit of
united states bonds andotherwibe." From
the passage of this act until 1885, alt Presi
dents and. Treasurers were ltepublicans ;
there swere govern raaut deuoiU in the
national banks a:l the tim. the amount
sometimes reaching three or four Mines th it
on deposit daring Cleveland s Adrninii tra-
tion. In this connection the following ex
tract from the first annual report of the
Treasary of the United States under "Presi
dent Harrison's administration is worth
re printing: "Tho am .uut of publio
moneys held by the depositary b.tnks ran
down during the year from $-8 712,511 to
$4G,2rC,7U, i he result mainly of the vol
untary acts of the banks in Surrendering
the deposits and withdrawing the bonds."
The extract shows that the Kepubiican ad
ministration, with ample power to remove
the deposits entirely, had failed to do so ;
that such reduction as was made arose
mainly from the Voluntary action of the
banks themselves, and that the bauks are
not so anxious to keep the. e deposits as
they are often supposed to be. As to the
purchase of bonds, it is sufficient to say
that this was done' as being one of the
readiest means of putting the surplus into
circulation again, aud that the suuecding
administration pursued the same policy.
The fact is tnere iu no' satisfactory way of
dealing with a large surplus. President
Cleveland in his mess iges freqiautly de
plored the fact that he was compelled
cither to buy bonds not yet due, to make
deposits in national banks, or to keep the
surplus lying idle ia the '1 reasury, aud be
urged Congress to m ke euoh changes in
the taxing laws that no surplus shouid bo
accumulated in the future.
