C. Prom Watch-Tower. We have carefully read Senator Williams address before the State Grange last December. Mr. W is the Senator from Pitt and also Master of the State Grange. He has given all economic a diligent study. The between capital and labor has engaged the attention of the brainy Williams since the late unpleasantness. He it, an promising advocate of the free and unlimited coinage of silver. We extract the following from his admirable and of whatever name or kind arc now the tree and coinage of silver. Wall street and the gold bugs oppose it. They know the scarcer the money is the more power it possesses. They know when is scarce, all things else are low in price. Smith, Hume, all and every writer on economy say that scarce and tight money makes land cheap, and when the price of land is low all things are depressed. Silver was demonetized in 1873. It was done by John Sher- man, and passed through Congress without hardly anyone knowing its import. It is said the hill was not even read. It is reported that Gen- Grant said afterwards that if he had known the contents of the bill he would never signed it. It cut about half the circulating me- of the Union. Everything commenced falling, and the products of the farm went down a ho SO per cent-, and landed prop- since that time has I teen It has the money kings to buy up the homes of the American people. The our free homes arc going now, it will be only a matter time when our country will be owned by landlords. was asserted during the debate in the last Congress, and no contra- diction has been made, that the landlords already owned in their own right an area land in the United States larger than Slate of with gages on an hundred more, hut and interest so high that it can never, never be paid. Lock, who wrote the first Constitution for the colony of North Carolina, said that whoever owned the land owned the people. This demonetizing silver Las destroyed thousands of free homes, and was and is a crime surpassing any rob- ever committed by a Democrat- or Republican government. there is not a civilized try on the globe that undertakes to do an entire business on gold and silver. Every nation confesses that there is not enough of the precious metals; so paper money is resorted to as a flexible medium. The gov- should issue legal tender notes, to the amount at least to per capita. Now it is calculated not more than or per capita is in circulation. The national banks were organized only moneyed men; they discriminate against the farmer inasmuch as they refuse to a dollar on his only National Grange endorsed the plan to loan money on landed security at a low rate of interest. Something be done To save the homes of the people, there is not money enough now even to meet the interest. I lake the fol lowing from the Bankers Monthly Review, which is high authority on finance. It gives the mortgages registered against the sis leading western agricultural States, Kansas, Indiana, Iowa, Ohio, Wisconsin. Michigan, This makes an aggregate of which at per cent interest amounts to more than annually. All the gold and silver production is not enough to pay the interest. I have been unable to find out the of North Caro- but from data received, I am sure it approximates This is alarming when we consider that our entire property is only as- at In this State these mortgages are recorded at per cent. It should never have been more than per If the above figures are the condition of the country is really It is true, and very true that all the combines are systematically organized to defeat the measure now the Amer- free coinage of the silver dollar. It is asked by those who oppose this method of inflation what will be gained if all the silver is to be coined free and the amount to be without limit. Mr. Williams ably shows that when you make any article scarce yon make the price high. If is scarce its is high. The object to be gained by the limited coinage of silver is to in- crease the volume of currency. That the volume is too small can not be questioned by those who have given the financial States of the country proper study. We farther think that Mr, Hams is right when he suggests that the government issue legal tender notes to the amount of per capita. We will not become a prosperous and happy people every month is fed and every body clothed. If meat is three cents per pound it is very dear to him who raise three cents. AND EGGS. Wilmington Star. Poultry Is not classed among I he of this conn- for there are very few who give special interest to it, and yet as it is generally supposed to be the sales of poultry and eggs amount annually to about addition to which millions of eggs are annually in- ported Europe, There are who wouldn't think of lug for market or of eggs to market because they it looks s jail. There are also thousands of farmers. North and South, i although they ate not too proud to sell and eggs never do sell them because they have never attached any import a to them as sources of income. They raise enough for their own all. We have known in this State to kill their chickens be cause i hey scratched up some of their grain. There are some poultry farms m this country, a few, where the at- of the proprietor- is given to the raising or fowls and eggs for market, and the surprising thing about it is that there are not more of them, and that the poultry and egg buyers of the country have to upon what is simply picked up upon the farms. There is no industry in this conn try which yields as much money in proportion to the capital invested. It would not be an exaggeration to say that at least eighty per cent, of the received for poultry eggs is clear profit, the fowls feeding themselves from pickings around the farm, which would other- wise go to waste. In the South the chicken is a much more common article of food than in the North, the per capita consumption being at least twice as great, which may be accounted by the that raising chickens gives but little trouble here, the mate being so mild that there is j danger of their being to death In the winter if net well housed, M danger of their starving to death If not led by hand. For tin reason the raising of poultry is not attended the South by the same risks and losses which it is in the No-th, this reason it would be morn profitable and should receive more attention. It may seem an incredible state- that them are not poultry nor eggs enough sent to market in North Carolina to meet the home demand, while all the larger towns on the railroads they always command a fair price and some- times a very high price. this city half grown seldom sell tor less than twenty-five cents by and eggs seldom less than fifteen cents a dozen. At prices like these are fortunes in chicken farms to men who will devote their attention to them, and study the chicken so as to be able to prevent or care the diseases that sometime attack and carry them This is most serious drawback to this as a special industry, for chick- en cholera and other fatal diseases sometimes sweep them off by the it red. The cause of this we don't know but investigation would prob- ably show that it will be found in the food they pick up, the drink or in the ill houses they roost in. The North- chicken raiser has the same to contend against. But this does not occur often enough to be an insurmountable obstacle to success the business. There may not be, in the language of Col. Sellers, but there is handsomely paying money more in proportion to the laud, capital and labor required than in anything the Southern farmer can engage in, and it it a business, too, which he can increase as be desires, without additional expense. There is no danger of overstocking the market, for there is no day that chickens suitable for the table will not a good price in the nearest market town or in towns easy access. With the advantages the South has in wild wins and abundance of food the chickens can pick up this ought to be great chicken section of the country and ought to bring to people as money as the cotton crop now brings. It looks like a small thing, but there are possibilities in it. NEW YORK LETTER. A Hew Ferry Doctors Brest Trip PREMIUMS FOR FARMERS. COTTON AND THE OUTLOOK. We have received five copies of North Carolina State Fair j List, and are pleased to note Regular j it ft A ferry across the North river premiums on agricultural crops is soon to be established for the sole purpose of accommodating the fruit and berry trade of the metropolis. which has of late reached enormous proportions. The will be con- with the freight yard of the Pennsylvania railroad in Jersey City, and the roadways will be laid with granite blocks between the tracks, so as to facilitate the of the fruit from the trains to the wagons of the fruit dealers Work- men arc now building bridge, if s and sidewalks leading from the house n the Jersey City side, and the company ox peels to have the fern in operation by the first September. The establishing of such a ferry for the accommodation of vehicles oily is, believe, a stop in the right direction. It is about lime the great passenger ferries should be allowed to carry nothing but passengers, leaving the horses and vehicles to be carried by other boats. Why some such reform has not been inaugurated is some- thing I cannot understand. IX HIS AD. The medical fraternity are very much interested in the recovery of Eddie the fifteen-year old son of Col.

It is also being stated publicly upon the by reliable authority that such a school has already determined upon and will be opened under the charge of a highly accomplished and competent lady not later than August 31st. Those interested in the enterprise can confidently rely upon its accomplishment.

Prof. John I, late principal of Greenville Institute, recognized the growing sentiment here for such a school and changed his accordingly the last session he taught here. The success with which he met showed the wisdom of such a change.

The home boys scored first, second, third and fifth innings on timely batting coupled with a errors on the part of the visitors.

Pippin was put the box by the Visitors in the fourth inning and met with better success, as owing to poor base running by the home boys they only scored one run off his delivery.
