The Populist Congressional cecn-
vention at Edenton ~cn Wednesday re"
nominated Harry Skinner for Congress
by acclamation. Theo. ~White, of
Herttord, was nominated tor Elector.
Good Prices.
Here are figures trom two sales at
the Star warehouse today which shows
how they run prices; For Bert Had-
dock, lots at $12.75 ; $20.25 ; and $22.-
20. For Thomas Baker, lots at $9.25 ;
$11, $15 and $22. The Star gets
there every time.
An Editor Killed.
Capt. J. W. Goslen, editor of the Re.
publican, at Winston, was accidentally
killed Sunday afternoon. He was 1e-
turning from the postoffice, and in
~I stepping from the street car in front of
his home fell to tbe ground, his head
striking upon :ocks. Ife died in about
two hours after the accident.

joo Melons as Prizes.
Miss ~Harriet Moore sent a lot of
tobacéo in to be sold at the Star Ware-
house to-day, and sent along four large
watermelons to be placed on as many
piles, the buyer to get the melon.
When those piles were ~reached and

dg tobacco breaks struck the 100,-
O00.snar today, and gave the best day
of the new season so far. The sales
started at 9 oTclock at the G:eenville
and consumed all the morning getting
through with that house, the Star and
the Planters, leaving the entire sale at
the Eastern tor the afternoon. The
weather and prices are both. better than
last week and the offerings come in
freely. We never heard less dissatis"
faction over prices than at present.
Always Ahead.
Give the Eastern Warehouse first
sale, last sale or middle sale, and you
will find more tobacco on the floor than
any other house. It had last sale to-
day and was away abead in quantity,
while its prices are never beaten.
This is accounted for from the facs that
no one fakes more interest in the mar-
ket than Olthus Joyner and oOld Man.
Gus� Evans, and no one works harder
for the farmer than they do. The tar-
mers know this and appreciate it.

They CanTt Hurt Greenville.
A farmer from the Farmville section
told us today that another tobacco mar-
ket had several paid drnmmers down
ia that section whose talk principally
was running down the Greenville mar-
ket. He said he brought his tobacco
to Greenville anyway, and che sales
showed him he had done right. Some
markets have no merit of their own to
talk about and caa orly draw basiness
by ranning others down. Greenville
douTt have to do business that way, and
the talk of the envious and jealous donTt
hurt this market at all.
It Pays to be President,
The presidency ~is, on the whole, a
profitable office. The salary amounts
to"$200,000 for the four years, and this
considered less than ~two-thirds of what
the president gets. ~He has the white
| house rent free and the appropriation
to runit this year. is-estimated at $43,-
000. The presidentTs private secretary
| gets $5,000. a year and. the Watchman |
lat. his dffice door gets: $1,800, His
stables are provided by 1!
and the appropriation'to keep ~theth ap
this year is $8,000.; He geta tyel, light, | aq

President Cleveland does not pay more
than $5,000 a year for his state dinners
and that he is saving $35,000 a year
outof his salary. President Arthur,
ou the other hand, spent, it is said
| from $2,000 to $5,000 each on his state
dinners, yet he managed to save $100,-
000 during his brief administration.
The presidency may also be regarded
as a sure form of hfe insuranee, for the
widow of apresident who dies in the
white house is sure of a pension of
$5,0 year, and the people will
probably add a considerable fortune to
this. After the death of President
Garfiell, who entered the white house
a comparatively poor man, the sum of
' $300,000 was raised for Mrs, Garfield
py the pzople, making her independent
for life. If the president does not die in
office the exainple of General Earrisen
shows what the reputation of having
been the nationTs chiet magistrate
amounts tu in a money-making way.

The way sales have increased at the
Greenville Warehouse is noticed by
all who go on the market. Leon
Evans has built up his large business
by personal attention and selling every
pile of tobacco strictly on merit.

oLot bonds which may hereafter be issued
if this policy is continued.
oWe are told that any attempt on
"| the part of the government at this time
to redeem i.s obligations in silver would
ut a vremium on gold; but why
-| should it? The-Bank of France exer-
cases the right to redeem all bank paper
in either gold or silver, andT France
maintains the parity between gold and
silver at the ratio of 15 1-2 to 1, and
retains in circulation more silver per-
capita than we dc in the United
States. It may be further answered
that our opponents have suggested
nothing more forcible than the dangers
they fear. More than this, if the
government should retire its paper and
throw upon the banks the necessity
of turnishings coin redemption the
banks would exercise the right to fur-
nish either gold or silver. In other
words, they would exercise the option,
just as the government ought to exer-
cise it now. The government must
either exercise the right to rede2m its
odligations in silver when silver is more
copvenient, or it must retire all the
|gilver and silver certificates from cir-
culation and leave nothing but gold as
legal tender money. Are our oppon-
ents willing to~outline a financial system
which will carry out their policy to its
legitimate conclusion, or will they con-
tinue to cloak their designs in ambigu-
ous phrases ?
-NECESITY FOR BIMETALISM.
oThere is an: actual necessity for bi-
metalliim as well asa theoretical de-
fense of it. During the last twenty-
three years legislation has been creating
an additional demand for gold, and
this law-created demand has resulted in
increasing tue purchasing power of
each ounce of gold. The restoration uf
bimetallism to the United States will
take away from gold just so much of its
purchasing powers as was added to it by
the demonitization of silver. ~The sil-
ver dollar is now held upon the gold
basis by legal-tender laws and not by
redemption in gold, and not because
silver. dollars are redeemable in gold
ejhter in law or by administrative policy
oWe contend that free and unlimited
coinage value, and thus make silver bul-
lion worth $1.29 per ounce in gold
throughout the worid. This proposition
ocalled greenbacks, and the Treasury is in keeping with natural laws, not in
notes, issued under the act of 1890, are
responsible for the recent decline 1 the }
Id reserve, but this assumption is en"
Shely without foundation. SecretaryT
arlisle appeared before the House
~ 01 m mittee on Appropriations on Jan- |.
a ~wary 21, 1895, and I quote from the
printed report of his. testimony, before:
the committee :
Mr. Sibley"I would like to ask you
(perhaps not entirely «connected with

jection there could be to..having the
option of redeeming in ~either ~silver or

the government, ac the beginning::of}
defiance of them. The best known law
of commerce is the law of supply and
demand. We recognize this law and
build~our argument upon it. We ap-
ply this law to money when we sa
that a reduction in the valume of money
will raise the purchasing power of the
dollar; we also apply the.law of supply
and demand to silver when we say that
anew demand for silver created by law
will raise the price of silver bullion.
Gold.and silver are different irom other
commodities in that they are limited in
quanities, Corn, wheat, manufactured
~}produets, &c., can be produced almost
without, limit, provided they can be sold
at a price sufficient to stimulate pro-
ducing, but gold and silver aie called
precious metals because they are found
not, -prodyged. These metals have.beep
thevebject .of anxious search asi far

in the wurld can be melted into a twen-

oBecause gold and silver are limited,
both.iawbe quantity nowin hand and in,

ation, can fix, the ratio between then.

question upon which internatiozal bi-
metallism and independent bimetalists
differ is: Can the United States, by
the free and unlimited coinage of silver
at the legal ratio, create a demand for
silver which, taken in connection with
the demand already in existence, will
be sufficient to utilize all the silver tnat
will be presented at the mints ? TheyT
agree in their defense. of the. bimetallic
principle, and they agree in unalterable
opposition to the go'd standard. Bi-
metallists cannot complain that free
coinage gives a benefit to the: mine
owner, because international bimetal-
lism gives to the owner of silver all the
advantages cflered by independent bi-
metallism at the same ratio, Interna-
tional bimetalists cannot accuse the ad-
yocates of free silver ot being. bullion
owners, who desire to raise the value of
their bullion, 01 debtors who desire to
pay their debrs in cheap dollars, or
~demagogues who desire to cnrry fayor
With the people.T They must rest their
opposition upon une ground only, name-
ly, that the supply ot silver availab.e
for coinage is too large to be utilized by
the United States.
oIn discussing this we must con-
sider the capacity of our people to use
silver and the quantity of silver which
can come to our mints. It must be
remembered that we live in a country
only partially d veloped, and that ou~
people surpass any people in the world
in their pswer to consume and pro-
duce. Our extensive railroad devel-
opment and enormous international
commerce must also be taken into con-
sideration. Now, how much silver can
come here? Notthe coined silver of
the world, because almost all ot it is of
more value at this time in other lands.
Our mints are opened to free and un-
limited coinage at the present ratio ;
m2rchandise cannot come here, because | Feymage
the labor applied to it has made is worth } fi
more in the form of merchandise than
it will be worth at our mints. We
cannot expect ail the annual product of
silver because India, oChina, Japan
Mexico, and all the other silver using
countries must satisfy their needs from
the yield. The arts will use a large
coinage by the United States alone will }amount, and the gold standard coun-
traise the bullion value of silver to its
tries will need a considerable quantity.
We will be required to buy only that
which is not needed elsewhere, but if we
stand ready to take and utilize all of it,
other nations will be compelled to buy
at the p.ice which we fix. Many fear
that the epening of our mints will be
followed by the enormous increase in
the annnal production of silver. This
is conjecture. Silver has been used
for money for thousands of years, and
during all that time the world bas
never suffered fram an overproduction.
It, for any reason, the supply of gold
or of silver in the future ever exceeds |
the requirements of the arts and the
needs of commerce, we confidently hope
that the intelligence ofthe people will
be sufficient to devise and enact any
legistation necessary for the protection
of the public. It is folly to refuse to
the people the money which they now
need, for fear they may hereafter have
more than they need.

abroad as long as the ~present. financial |.
policy i is adheted to, unless we continue
to borrow from across the ocean, and |
even then we simply postpone the evil,
because the amount borrowed, together
with the interest upon it, must be paid
in aporeciacing dollars. The American
people now send a large sum to Euro-
pean creditors, and falling piices have
left a larger and larger margin between
our net national income and our annual
interest charge. There is is only cne way
to.stop the increasing flow of golditrom
our shores, and that is to stop falling
prices. ~The.restoration of bimetallism
will not only stop, falung prices, but
will to sume extent" restore prices by
reducing the worldTs demand tor gold
If it is argued that a rise in prices les-
sens the value of the dollars which. we
pay to our creditors I reply that, in the
balancing of equities, the American
people have as much right to favor a
financial system which will maintain or
restore prices, as:foreign creditors have
to insist upon a financial system that
will reduce prices. But the interests
ot society are far superior to the iuter-
ests ot either debtors or creditors, and
the interests of society demand a finan-
cial system which will add to the vol-
uine of the standard .:cney of the world
and thus restore stability to prices.

Built a House In a Bottle.
A few years ago the writer saw a
genuine curiosity which had been
made by alittle blind boy in Cbi-
cago. It was nothing more or less
than a miniature house, made up of
forty odd pieces of wood, which was
placed on the inside of a very com-
mon looking four ounce: medicine
pottle. The general verdict of all
who examined the wonder was that
it ~would. puzzle a man with two
good eyes to put the pieces. in the
bottle, to say nothing of the task of
' gluing them together so as to make
(them resemblo a house."St. Louis
