Forth extracts message first page. OF It is neither unfair or to charge a large share of our present perplexities and dangers to the operation of the laws of 1878 and 1890. the pun-hose of silver by the government, which not only fur- a new obligation upon which its gold could withdrawn, but so the fear of an overwhelm- flood of silver and afforded descent to silver that even the repeal of these laws did not entirely cure the evils of their existence. While I have to make a plain statement of the con- of our currency and the present dangers menacing our and to suggest a way which leads to a safer financial system, I have had in mind the fact that many of my whose sincerity do not doubt, insist that the cure, for the ills now may found in the single and simple remedy of the free coinage of silver. They contend that our mints shall lie at once thrown open to the free, unlimited and independent coinage of both gold and silver dollars of full legal tender quality, of the action of any other governments, and in full view of the fact that the ratio between the metals which the suggest calls for cents worth of gold in the gold dollar at the present standard, and only fifty cents in sic value worth of silver in the silver dollar. Were there infinitely stronger reasons than can be adduced for hoping that such action would secure for us a currency moving on our lines of parity, an so novel and hazardous as that proposed might well stagger those who believe that stability is an imperative condition of sound money. No government, no human or act of legislation has ever able to hold the two metals together in free coinage at a ratio from that which is established in the markets of the world. Those who believe that our dent free coinage of silver, at an ratio with gold of to would restore the parity between the metals, j and consequently between the coins. an unsupported and to the general belief and practice of other nations, and to the. teaching of the wisest- statesmen and economists of the world, in the j past and present, and what is far more conclusive, they run counter to our own actual Twice in our early our law. Makers, in attempting to establish a currency. free coinage upon a ratio which accidental- varied from the actual relative val-j of the two metals not more than three per cent. In both cases not- ion and benefit of favored classes at the expense of the great mass of our countrymen, and which, while inefficient for the purpose of revenue, curtailed our trade relations and impeded our en- trance to the markets of the world, has been superseded by a tariff policy which in principle, is based upon a denial of, the right of the government to obstruct from President to our or lesson their comfort and Meat for the sake of especial a to favorites, and which, en our commerce and with other nations, recognizes the fact that American self-reliance, thrift and can build up our country's tries and develop its resources more surely than enervating paternalism. BASK It has always seemed to me that the provisions of law regarding the capital of national banks, which operate as a limitation to their location, ought to make proper compensation for the of State banks, which came near to the people in all sections of the country and readily furnished them with the banking and facilities. Any or embarrassment arising from these restrictions on the location of national banks might well be remedied by bettor adapting the present system to the creation of banks in smaller communities or by permitting banks o large capital to establish branches in such would serve the people, so regulated and restricted as to secure their safe and conservative control and management.

Since the old Greenville Warehouse was first built in 1891 he has bean directly or indirectly connect- ed with the market. Wiggins is an county lie was raised on the farm not very far from Tarboro and remained on the farm until the to- industry to get a hold in the eastern section. In 1890 he left the farm and entered into partnership with a Mr. Ellington to a ware- house in Rocky Mount under the firm name of Ellington, Wiggins Co. In the firm was dissolved Mr. Wiggins came to to live. While Jim is not very heavy buyer on the that he is handling, he is a great help to the market in keeping up the prices. This year he is buying more largely than heave and occupies half the prize house in which T. E. Roberts Co. did business last year. Mr. Wiggins is a prudent and cautious net of Congress, named in 1878, the government was required for more than twelve years to expend at least in the of I silver bullion for coinage. The a.-t of July 1800, in a still holder effort, increased the amount of silver the gov- was compelled to purchase, and forced it to become the buyer an- of ounces, or the entire product of our mines.

She was rich and Her time after leaving college had all been occupied with having a good lime, not that she was especially thoughtless, hut never having seen poverty or suffering she as others never thought it. Fall she was visiting Baltimore, and her friends there belonged to a flower mission and Ellen would at limes go with then to the Hospital to carry to the She became very enthusiastic about, the work so when she came home, she determined to organize a flower mission, thinking then only of the sweet idea of giving flowers to the sick, but how often in helping others we get so much more than we give. One step in the right lends to paths tilled with richest treasures, of by those who pass by, as one step downwards leads lo depths of to the pure and innocent. Ellen's plan was laughed at by some called a passing fad. There are gone people who never do any good themselves, but are very energetic in trying to keep others from anything. will pass them by and speak of the others who entered heartily with Ellen, glad to have some- thing to do. There are many who would like lo do good, but just do not know how to begin. A little band was formed numbering twelve. They met once a week and carried flowers to the pool- who otherwise would never Bee any of the beauties of nature telling in such beautiful language of our love to them. We who have so to enjoy and make us happy can understand what a flower or a kind word means to the very needy, and we will never know unless we go then and make then feel we care for and with them. Ellen had been regularly, slopping to talk, always leaving flowers. She hi taken es- notice of a young man in the sailors ward and though he was and coarse looking, his eves were blight and intelligent and when she Would leave him flowers, he world her and there was such a look as ho wanted to any more. One day Ellen asked him his name and when- he was be told to appreciate her to but lie was very in- and not much a lime bat this day he was to tell her of his life. We will listen to them.

I stayed awake nearly all night thinking boat it. and now all is changed, lather was a poor man, who I had as good a mother as ever a had. poor mother, what a hard time she had. she loved your Christ and would try to talk to me about hut what cared I for or else good, I, hungry and ragged and cold. My father would come home drunk and abuse us. taking all for him- self, mother and I would hide q some comer to keep from being hurl. I often thought that if I were a man I would kill him for making mother fer, but she never complained, she was very weak and sickly. One day I went home and found her very ill, she said she was going to die, she told to be a good boy. and never drink, God would take care of inc. I cried and said I would hate if he took her from me. She could not talk much, hut would press my hand. Oh, how it all comes back to me now, how I thank God for taking her to heaven. She died that night and I was left alone, worse than fatherless.
