among various exhibits here we
found none more attractive and

the wisdom of tho decision
made by the gentlemen in charge

to the State building. Our
committee appreciates the
work done by the follow-
North Carolina ladies in their
efforts to erect for the State a
separate building, namely Mrs.
R. R. Cotten, of Falkland, Pitt
County; Mrs. Charles Price, of
Salisbury, Rowan County
Mrs. George W. Kidder, of
Now Hanover County;
but we think the money which the
board would have spent toward a
building has judicious-
cave and thought displayed in
making tho best possible effect
with the means in band. While
New York has a most extensive
exhibit, it is confined largely to
one or two agricultural products,
in which they exceed us in
as to the specimens, but do
not exceed us as to variety or
quality. After a careful
of many other exhibits in the
Agricultural Building, we were
greatly impressed with tho
of the management in bring-
out to the fullest extent the

products. We find tho ex-
in the direct charge of Mr.

nearly the existing conditions as
are found from a commercial
standpoint. A table containing
over varieties of herbs
and plants was secured through
the kindness of Messrs. Wallace
Bros., Statesville, and a collective
exhibit of the pine-oil as
made by the Chemical
Company, Wilmington. In this
connection the management was
very ably aided by the following
Mr. Gifford
Biltmore, N. C, and Mr. W. W.
Ashe, of Raleigh, N- C. Our ex-
is of such a character that it
will, for years to represent
in our State Museum, as it does
hero, a most useful commercial
exhibit of forest growth. We be-
that our State will receive
the prize for the exhibit in the
Forestry Division-
not leave the Forestry
Building without reference to the
display which was made by Mr.
Vanderbilt for his forestry estate
at Biltmore. We find in this ex-
maps representing his en-
tire property numerous photo-
graphs representing the forest as
he finds it, and many other illus-
indicating the probable
future usefulness and value of his
estate. This exhibit itself far
surpasses many others, and
should interest lumbermen from
the North and Northwest in oar
forests.
FISH AND FISHERIES.
This exhibit is in charge of Mr.
H. H. an accomplished
naturalist- The space of 1,800
square feet floor is located
on main aisle, to the col-
leading to the United
States Government Aquarium,
adjoining exhibits of Minnesota,
Island, Washington,
land, and Japan. The space is
surrounded by brass anchors con-
by plash ropes, while
from the following parties; J.
K. Hoyt, Vineyard,
Luther, Buncombe County;
J. Green,
N. C.; C W. Co.,
Halifax County Garrett
Co., N. C.; George
Raleigh, N. C ; G. W.
Lawrence, Fayetteville. It is
not of sufficient to keep a
man in charge of this exhibit, but
it is carefully looked from
day to day.
MINES AND MINING.
The exhibit in mines and min-
is of the following and
Sixteen hundred feet on
main front of Mining Building,
next to Pennsylvania, Virginia,
and New York. The space is
rounded by a wooden colonnade,
with tho name of North Carolina
in black, representing iron; white,
representing silver; gilt, represent
gold; yellow, representing
copper. We find it in of
Mr. T. K. who
special mention for his labors in
behalf of this exhibit, as does also
Professor Holmes and H. B.
The effect, as seen by ref-
to the cat, is extremely
pleasing, and the variety of min-
displayed is more numerous
than found in any other
State. It consists of about fifteen
hundred specimens of ore, min-
and gems, the arrangement
showing the geological and
graphical distribution of the ma-
throughout the State. Be-
ginning with gold ores, the free
milling ores, then the various

It is now pretty generally
that the Senate will vote
on the repeal of the Sherman
about the last this month, and
that a majority will vote for
unconditional repeal. Following
this there will be other legislation
on the currency question. Mr.
Cleveland is reported as
the coinage of the silver bullion
now in possession of the Govern-
which has been purchased
under tho Sherman law- This
will give us About fifty millions
additional silver
There is a resolution e
to appoint of
ablest Senators and seven of the
bes. financiers of the House on a
special committee to look into the
currency question- We are
that Congress will not fail to give
us some additional legislation up-
on financial questions.
There ought o be a law to com
-f to
to each other's speeches- Then,
indeed, congressional sessions
would be short Richmond Dis-

The only reason that he has not

Mb. 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

this does not explain why Govern-
bonds will not, as collateral,

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

price for which it was selling in
silver is represented
by circulating

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

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-

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

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

on its whole armor and put forth
its strength. But it will be

they stood in its ranks or stood

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.
