This Office for Job Printing THE GROUND OF THE Our friends of Iredell County Alliance, are, like all their funny. If they can't get silver coined under an unlimited free coinage bill, they won't have any more silver coined at all. If they get a free trade meas- they won't have any tariff re- at all. They bitterly oppose tho theory that a half loaf is better than no broad and hold the contrary of this proposition- It is better, in their judgment, to go hungry than to have any less bread than all you want. Their resolutions, published last week, are something of a curiosity. The desire for a bill providing for the free coinage of silver is, presumably, based upon a de- sire to see more silver coined and put into circulation. If a bill were passed which for eight years kept the mints running at high pressure, turning out silver at the ratio of to by the thousands and the millions, it looks as if that, bill would for the time being, all the ends that could be attained by an absolute free coinage bill, doesn't it Well, it does. But the Ire- dell County Alliance doesn't want the mints to coin silver for eight years unless they are going to coin it indefinitely. The seignior- LIFT THE MORTGAGE IF Ward the why age on the silver already in the American heiresses marry foreign- is that American youths are too busy to marry them. Coming from so eminent authority this dictum will be received gratefully by the gilded youth who fill out the weary hours in club windows on parade and who, perhaps, had begun to clearly that American heiresses have the shrewdness to choose the real article to the imitation in ex- change for their money.

Inferentially they regard as a mere bauble, a thing not worth taking into ac count; yet they will make Rome howl when they learn that the Secretary of the Treasury has is sued of bonds. Then they are opposed to the Wilson tariff bill, too. It chops down duties; there is no doubt about that. it does not chop the m down enough. So, unless all the taxes come off, the Iredell County Alliance doesn't want any to come. It has discovered, how- ever, that there is more in this Wilson bill for certain classes than there is in the bill- This statement have been accompanied, then, by an explanation of why it is that all tho protected manufacturers are in arms against it, that it will ruin their business No. It is not these measures themselves but the source whence they sprang which the Ire- dell County Alliance is opposed. If the long-bearded and long winded had introduced the coinage bill, it would have been regarded as the salvation of the country. If Jere- Simpson, the wailing prophet of Medicine Lodge, had j introduced the Wilson tariff bill, would have been perfect in j form and substance. For Iredell County Alliance to know that any proposition is of Democratic Does it not look . , . . , gin, is for it to spit upon and re- it.

Many men on for years interest and their families the comforts of life and in the end lose all. We believe in the plan of settling up in some way or if possible.

If they own a thousand acres of land they want to hold on to it, when in a large majority of cases they would more money if they only owned a hundred. But if there is any possible way to do it, get clear of that mortgage and stop that interest which is growing day and night and Sunday.

TO THE BOYS. Remember, boys, that you have to work, whether you handle a pick or pen, a wheelbarrow or a set f digging ditches or editing a paper, you must work. If you look around, you will see that the men who are most able to live the rest of their days without work are the men who work the hardest. Don't be afraid of till- yourself with work- It is be- your power to do that. Men cannot work so hard as that on the side of They die sometimes but it is because they quite work at and don't get home until a. in- It's the interval that kills. Work gives an appetite for meals; it lends solidity to your slumbers, it gives the appetite appreciation of a holiday. There are young men who do not work, but the world is not proud of them. It does not know even their names, it simply of them as old so and boys- Nobody likes them, nobody hates them, the great busy world even know that they are there. So find out what you want to be and do, take off coat and make a dust in the world. The busier you are the less mischief you will get into, the sweeter will be sleep, the brighter and happier your holidays, and the better satisfied will the world be with you.

WASHINGTON LETTER. our Regular Washington D- C, Feb 1894- It pleasant, but it is true, that the signs of the Senators ting on the tariff bill are not as promising as they were. They all agree that we must have reform, but a of them have ideas which they have so far refused to be argued out of as to what constitutes tariff reform. It is this, and not the interference of President Cleve- land, which has prevented the reporting of the bill to the committee. It would be useless to get the bill before the Senate knowing that enough Democratic Senators would vote against it to make a majority with , the aid of the solid Republican Those who are impatient at the delay should remember that tho Republicans have Senators and that is a majority. should not be forgotten, either, I list Senators are uncertain and may, unless the Democrats vote together, hold the balance of power.

W to know whether he had a legal right to compel the banks to accept the silver certificates he made formal application to General for an official opinion defining the status of the silver certificates.

The following article by Judge Walter Clark of the Supreme Court in the last issue of the North Carolina Agricultural is of Edward Atkinson, the well known economist, has recently written an admirable article, pointing out tho uses of the pea- nut, especially as a producer of oil. He it was who, years ago, pointed out the value of cotton seed for its oil its and feed qualities, as cotton seed meal, tho value of the hulls. Prior to this, on many farms cot- ton seed was disposed of as waste- Now Mr. Atkinson predicts the future usefulness of the peanut as an oil producer other ways. But before we go into its pro- extensively, attention should called to the syndicate which controls the sale of the nuts, making its members million- and the producers paupers. The number of peanut buyers is small. These have formed a trust or syndicate- By this com- it is decreed that is not salable, and all peanuts before becoming mar- must go through what they are pleased to dignify with tho name of peanut Ry another one of their rules no factory will take the nuts on toll, but they must be sold to the owner of the factory. This do- livers tho farmer alive into their hands. The peanuts are sold the market at a price fixed Dy the syndicate, which is at present about two cents per pound. They are run thought the at a total cost of one fifth of a cent per pound and are then sold to tho retail merchant by wholesale at four to seven cents per pound, according to locality. The pro fits being pooled are presumably divided. No wonder the farmers find no profit making peanuts and that the factory owners are becoming Farmers generally raise small crops of peanuts, and each not feeling largely interested, as a class they are ignorant of the gross practiced upon them this as in some other matters. posed upon by the word they are led to think that there is some costly and mysterious process in preparing the peanuts for market. There is nothing of the kind. The peanuts are pour- ed into a revolving cylinder which polishes them and blows out the pops and dirt- As they come out they fall upon a broad, endless belt which carries them along to be bagged. Negroes stand on each side of this moving belt and with paddle deftly sort the peanuts. They are then double the price paid the farmer. The process of thus preparing costs not more than one fifth of a cent It was also thought that the process was not only mysterious and required we see is not that the machinery was expensive. But it is said by those who know that the ma- of one of those so-called will not cost more than to and that the whole plant, machinery building, should not cost over or It was also urged that there was a patent on the machinery. A party who was bold enough to defy this claim and establish his own factory demonstrated by suit in court that there was no patent and thereupon it is said the syn- took him in and ho is now one of the oppressors, and fast becoming a millionaire. As a last resort, to discourage putting up factories it is given out that large capital is required to establish a and pat it on the market. On the contrary, the writer has recently had with numerous deal from San Francisco to Boston, and from New Orleans to and readily had offers varying from four and one-half to seven for nuts, without any as to brand. The only re- was that they should be sound and stock. The syndicate have educated the public to require the latter, as it places the trade in their hands. If the farmers generally knew the above facts, they could readily emancipate themselves from sell- at two cents per pound pea- nuts which with the addition of one fifth of a cent work, are sold at four to seven by each neighborhood putting up a factory, or by some one putting it up to run for toll. But these facts have been persistently suppress- ed. Where at very rare intervals a factory, out of the seaport town, has been put it is said that it ways mysteriously and suddenly stops. Those who know say that this is done by the syndicate pay- the owners of the new factory a sum equal to the estimated profit of the tolls which would be likely to come in if the factory was run. Fortunately, there is no internal revenue tax on factory peanuts, as on manufactured to- by which the syndicate keep a monopoly. This is one of the many ways in which the farming class is pluck- ed. Will not farmers who are interested in peanut raising look into this matter and each neigh- provide itself with a for next season at which pea- nuts may be prepared for market for toll would be free themselves must strike the Walter Clark.

BUYING REINDEER. Uncle Sam's to Get Into Alaska. The . l Hay the of the lo Sow Don the Siberian Them. Undo Sam has pone somewhat ex- into the business of buying reindeer, and the first consignment is now in the city, very much the worse for wear, says the San Francisco Chronicle. The animals are the sec-1 soon produced and in use. NOT MUCH OF A But the to Value of Two Pair of Aim. When Got. Lowrey of Mississippi was in this city, some time ago, says the Post, be very took in a few friends with whom he sat one evening in a friendly game of draw. The governor and a party of ladies and gentlemen were being entertained at an evening tea, and, after the menu had been dis- cussed, the gentlemen withdrew to the library, where cards and chips of the kind ever brought to the city. Some time two were obtained for Golden Gate pork, but one has since died. The animals were bought by the government H. Bruce, in Si- The purpose of the purchase is to introduce the reindeer in Alas- where they will be used instead of dogs. It is impossible to use horses, and dogs do not serve the purpose as well as they might Some time ago there was a season of the distress among the in The report of it led to a congressional and the appropriation of thousand dollars, part of which was to buy reindeer in Siberia and have them brought to Alaska. An agent was dispatched to Siberia, and his first consignment was stationed in a lot adjacent to the Lick paths. The greatest difficulty yeas ex- in getting the animals here. Several died on the way and there are but six remaining. The animals will be used to great advantage at the north. They are small, but swift and powerful. In Siberia they cost five dollars apiece. The natives have a peculiar way of harnessing and driving the animals. The harness is simply a band over the shoulders and bet ween the legs. The deer is fastened to the center and left of the sled, but not to the right. It is steered by the horns and covers the ground as rapidly s a good horse. A BAD HALF HOUR. He Got Away, But the Beauty cf That Chair Was Ruined. At the home of a popular girl in this city a most uncomfortable half Hour was recently spent by a modest youth who had called to see her. The youth is noted for both bashfulness and nervousness. The night in question he went with a friend to the girl's house. He took a comfortable seat in a large armchair, and, as was his habit, began to nervously poke his fingers into cracks and holes in the mental parts of the chair. He shoved finger into a hole in this manner, but to his dismay, that his knuckle positively refused to come back through the hole. The more the worked to release his finger the harder it was, as the finger became swollen. The youth was too bashful to mention the ridiculous predicament into which he had gotten himself, but bore th pain in silence. He suffered untold agony for fear his friend would go before he released his finger. Finally the hostess noticed his parent uneasiness. The youth, with many blushes, then told the cause. It was not until half an hour later that the bashful youth and the chair parted company. The but finally succeeded in releasing the finger with the aid of a hatchet and chisel, tut the handsome chair is a thing of the mL Maternal Devotion. In the western part of setts, says the Churchman, a fire re- destroyed a fine barn on a stock farm, and a number of blooded horses and cows perished in the flames. Soon after the fire the owner, walking over the ruins, came upon an object which touched him more than the sight of the charred bodies of his horses and Jerseys. There sat an old black hen. He wondered that she did not move her head to look at him as he came near her, but he thought she must be asleep. He poked her with his cane, and to his surprise the wing which he touched fell into ashes. Then he knew that she had been burned to death. But out from under her came a faint little peep, and pushing her aside with his cane, the man found ten live yellow chickens. The hen had sacrificed her own life to save them. A Giantess. Gurley, in the Point Rock valley, North Alabama, has a prodigy in the shape of a nine-year-old white child. Her name is Lizzie Beale, and her parents arc among the best people in Jackson county. She weighs one and ninety-two pounds and is possessed of enormous strength. She can with the greatest ease lift and off an anvil weighing two and twenty-five pounds and ran carry off a big man who could scarcely lift her from the ground. Her hair is very long, and she has regular, beautiful features. An Island Missing. American ship Daniel Barnes, from, Buena, Chili, reports the total disappearance of an island in the South Pacific ocean. Capt. says, he passed over the exact spot where island is laid down on the chart. He had men aloft looking for land, and, although it was daylight and per- clear, he says that nothing could be seen of it The island was forty feet high, three-fourths of a mile in diameter, and In degrees minute west, degrees minutes south. It is thought that some volcanic disturbance on the mainland caused the island to American. Gov. Lowrey said he knew nothing about the game, so, while his friends tried their luck, the southern exec- remained in the parlor en- the ladies. Later in the evening the governor drifted to the and was prevailed upon to play the hand of one of the gen- for a few minutes. As soon as the governor sat down he re- minded his friends again that he knew nothing about the game. There was a jackpot on the table which had gone around several times. Hands were dealt, the pot was opened and play passed around to the governor. He didn't seem to know whether to pass or not. He studied his for several minutes, then, showing a card, asked the man next to him whether it was a king or a jack. a king, replied the gentleman. Then the governor produced a queen and take it that this is a queen. Am I Ho was informed that he was, and then very deliberately putting his money he called for one card. The gentleman who had opened the pot had three nines failed to better his hand on the draw. v He thought he had a lead-pipe cinch on the pot and sized up the governor as having two and queens. He thought the governor had found cards like the king and queen he had shown and was drawing for a full. He was somewhat taken back when the governor raised the bet, and fearing that the governor did not know that two pair were not very good, he called his to the fact. go said the governor, play this out, The governor kept raising until finally the gentleman with the three nines weakened and called. Then the governor proudly laid down four aces, and everybody yelled. He had held three aces all the time, flashed his king and queen for a bluff, then drew one card and caught another ace. The gentleman who held three nines s he will never again sit in a game with a man who knows it. RODE IN A CATTLE CAR. A Who Succeeded in Earning His Free Passage. The other morning when the freight train from the east a man emerged from a car leaded with long-horned steers, says the Gazette. He said that when endeavoring to secure free pas- sage on the cattle train leaving Win- the night before, one of the railroad boys said he would let him into a cattle car where he could ride as long as he wanted to keep com- with the steers. To the prise of the railroad man the offer was accepted and the tramp jumped in. He says he rode the greater part of the one seventy- fire miles between and Reno astride one of the animals, and when he got cold or tired of that he stood in among them, where be found it quite warm and comfort- able, and would have continued on bis journey westward had it not been tor hunger and the absence of any milch cows in the cars, so he got off to rustle a little grub.

It happened one Sunday on the way to church she fell off, pillion and all. He did not notice it, nor, indeed, miss her until at the church steps ho would have helped her alight. Alarmed, he rode rapidly back, afraid she must have been seriously hurt not to have called to him when she fell. And do you wont on Mr. laughing heartily, you know he found her seated on tho pillion in the middle of the dusty path, and until he came up to her she was totally oblivious to the fact that she was not seated as usual behind her father on tho old horse on the way for church. That's one of the worst instances of absent-mindedness I ever heard. I suppose Hannah was busy writing another book in her mind while sit- ting there on tho pillion in the Journal. An Explanation.
