The Danville Register Monday's rain and wind storm was disastrous to the growing crops, especially tobacco and yes- I morning many rumors reached the city in regard to the same. In order to get more definite information, The Register day telegraphed in various and seat special reporters out on all the roads, a distance of eight or ten miles around Dan- ville, to make personal The reporter who took in the Design section and the country along Fall Creek, found that rumors as to the destruction of tobacco had exaggerated but little, if any, and to say that the damage is per cent- of the value of the crop is it at a lower figure than any of the far- put it. of the farmers were found hauling the tobacco that had been broken off the stalks to their barns to be cured, but the bulk of the damage was done by the high and continuous winds which whipped and beat the together and caused them to become bruised bro- ken and slit into shreds, will show largo blisters and defects in the leaf.

The Greensboro Patriot has this to Reports from the country show fearful destruction to tobacco and corn. Mr. J.

Wyrick, who north of town, reports his tobacco in an awful condition and that his fruit is all blown off the trees. His neighbor, Mr. Henry Wilson, though he primed his tobacco went over the field and gathered up baskets full of leaves that had been blow off.

Speaker I would not in the closing hours of this discus- endeavor to advance an idea upon a subject that has commanded serious attention of every interest of every section of our country and caused a feel- of fear to take possession of many of who are by reason of their position as legislators called upon to pass their verdict. I have listened carefully to arguments on this floor upon this all-important question ; not as one whose mind was made up, but one who was open to conviction based upon argument not from an individual standpoint, not from a sectional standpoint, but from the standpoint of a tor, with the well-being of every interest of every section of this land. I have been disappointed. I have heard it discussed from the standpoint of the banker, the bondholder, the silver-miner, the commercial centers, and the rural districts, North, South, East, and West, discussions made by reason of their many reasons being assign- ed for the present depression, and a few ideas for relief The gentleman from Mr. Morse in his dis- of this question attributes the depression to the fact the people are getting ready for the low prices promised by De- speakers in the last campaign, the result of a tariff for revenue only. This he says has had a tendency to paralyze business, to throw thousands of workingmen out of employment, and drive thousands of men who are consumers into the business of last this does not explain why Govern- bonds will not, as collateral, secure loans to but a fraction of their face, those who are engaged in that industry will be glad to know that the gentleman from the great center has learned this fact, and hope he will stand ready as a legislator for every interest known to this country, to lend this industry last Sad experience has taught them it is a business of last resort resulting largely from selfish leg The people I have the honor to represent directly on this floor are largely an agricultural people- A long series of legislative enact- tending to concentration and consolidation of money in one section and in certain interests, and not their want of devotion to their interests and extravagance, has caused their particular fol- lowing to be spoken of as one of last It was fact that contributed largely to the triumphant victory achieved by the Democratic party, November last. What did that victory mean t It was the verdict of the people in favor of the principles set forth in the platform which we stood; a verdict against the of the Republican party, so long in power; and they hare a right to expect to keep our pledges to them, to look to the interest of the great body of fellow citizens whose interest not only in its national but in most of its State platforms. I know not what views others may take upon this subject, but it seems to me the unconditional re- peal of the Sherman law would negative this declaration and would be a violation of faith for which we would be held justly amendable; for this reason I shall oppose it- The argument has been more than once used in this debate that this particular legislation was not a party question. If so, why not it from our platform I If so, why was it that views that were supposed to be entertained and constantly expressed entered so largely into and controlled our nominations and made the basis of all our arguments before the people for tho positions we hold on this floor Convince them once that these solemn are but meaningless and the righteous of an outraged people will be visited upon who to use this medium to pose upon their credulity and their confidence. The existence of an alarming and extraordinary situation of financial distrust, for fear and failures, which have spared no branch of business, is admitted. I fail to see, from argument thus far advanced, that a chase of of silver lion by this Government at the price for which it was selling in silver is represented by circulating have caused hundreds of cotton factories, woolen mills, saw mills, and other manufacturing inter- to be closed, and turned thousands of workmen without employment, shelter, or means of living. Could it not be more reason- ably attributed to tho fact that the entire control of the paper currency of this try has been under tho concentrated money power, above the roach of tho people and the power of the law t Destroy silver as money, say, allow the national banks to issue more notes, encourage them by lessening the tax on them, issue more bonds that a corporate mo- may be perpetuated to control the circulating medium to expand contract at their will. Does this give substantial and permanent relief to industrial in- I think not, sir. De- any property of being the basis for credit and it will fall, just as laud has fallen in value under the national banking act saying it should not be any basis of I may add, as silver has fallen since the act of 1873. I can as well as others see the disadvantage in the Sherman law, but can not see why the enact- of some law can not be made in its stead which will have ten- to protect and not destroy silver, and thereby enable us to carry out promises made to our people in faith ; for a basis and for an equal chance at the mints of the try for both metals- Arguing from the standpoint that this would give to them relief so much needed, an idea may be entertain- ed that subsequent legislation would be enacted but have we the right as agents of the people to take this risk T It would be no less contrary to business to loan your money to a man and tell him to bring yon the mortgage next week. Our people. Mr- Speaker, want more money. The immense de- of country needs a corresponding expansion of circulating medium, because portion of debts must be paid in cash, and as debts in- crease so does the need for more money. Our population is in- creasing at the rate of annually; industrial inter- est quadrupling, yet we find agricultural lands and depreciated per cent; products the same, though the demand has increased, ac- cording to the statement of the of Massachusetts. It been truly said the floor of the American Congress that it is a business of last resort. Let encourages i , m . extensive love of country, and should bring of California, to it independence- of wealth by unnatural and unhealthy speculation but in time produce panics, want, and suffering, such as we witness on all sides of us to-day. I realize, Mr. Speaker, that no arguments can more dangerous, coming from a Representative with legislation, arguments based upon individual interest or arguments calculated to array one section against the other- The great agricultural sections South and West ask no special legislation for this try of last resort. They simply ask an equal chance in tho race, of life, to allowed to join the grand procession, and go forward to the development of our try, to the accomplishment of a grand destiny for Very few people are aware that the pearl-oyster is not in any way like the oysters which we eat. It is of an entirely different and, as a matter of fact, the. of the are of far more value to those engaged in than the pearls. There are WILL P USE AND GET BEAT Signs multiply that there will be a coalition North Carolina next year between tho Republican and Third parties. Republicans who, a year or two back, could find no language too strong with which to denounce tho Third party, its vagaries and its leaders, have changed their sympathizing now with doc- which they regarded u short time ago as ruinous, are associating with leaders whom they characterized as scoundrels, and have become eager readers of Populist newspapers which lately would have picked up only with tongs. On the other hand, Alliance-Third party men who but recently were protesting that they were tho best of Demo- and that their movement meant nothing to the prejudice of the Democratic party, found denouncing it from the housetops, consorting with its enemies, and preparing to make common cause with anybody of any element or color that is opposed to it. Ah, well, these things are noted matters of passing interest- Tho old Democratic party has met many an enemy times in the open field end some- times in the bushes; sometimes divided into armies, hostile to each other as well as to it, and sometimes in combination. Sometimes it has whipped in the fight with one hand tied behind it and times it has had to put on its whole armor and put forth its strength. But it will be remembered by all hands, whether they stood in its ranks or stood up against it, that it has always won, and the grater the struggle the grater tho victory.

Ho tackled the next door and I heard him ask is you de man what wants to go on de two o'clock train to Big answer was terrific. The was awed. For about five minutes he was still, as if absorbed in thought. Then I heard him say to himself in an argumentative sum in dis hall who wants to go on de two o'clock train to Big Sandy. I dun forgot de went down the line repeating the performance at seven doors be- fore he reached tho man who wanted to go de two o'clock train to Big An Illinois man thought he could parallel this evidence of sagacity.

In 1881 one pearl, a black one, was sold for ten thousand and every year since that time many pearls have been taken from the beds in the California gulf val- over sewn thousand five dollars each. But such are very rare, and, as a rule, tho pearls which are brought up ore of very little value. The shells, how- ever, are very valuable; most of them are shipped to Europe, where they are manufactured into knife handles, buttons, and the hundreds of other articles for which is used. Another fact concerning the pearl- oyster and tho pearl itself is very little understood. I have seen in books of instruction both la this country and in England the state- that formation of the pearl in the oyster-shell is caused by M disease of the and this statement is more or less generally believed, as is also the erroneous inference to drawn from it that the oyster referred to is the edible oyster. The mother-of pearl is nothing more than a series of layers of nacreous matter deposit ed by the oyster upon the interior of the shell, and the pearl itself is a perfectly accidental formation. It is caused by a similar deposit of nacre around some foreign object. This foreign may be a grain of sand, a parasite or some similar object; but most authorities agree that it is more usually an developed egg of the oyster around which this natural deposit is thrown. The largest pearl ever meas- two Inches long and weighs three ounces. This is of eastern origin. The largest found the Gulf of California did not exceed an inch and a quarter long and was somewhat larger than tho egg of a bluebird. Many of the Californian pearls are black and speckled.
