THE HENDERSON GOLD LEAF- SENATOR VA5CE AND THE PLAT TO COIN MORE SDL VEE DOLLARS. A dispatch from Washington dated The Gold Leaf, ESTABLISHED 1881. The cpuntry continues to, recover from the effects of tbe panic despite the fact that the Sherman law has not been repealed. If this thing was the cause of all the trouble how are we to account for the present state of affairs? Fifty millions of dollars in gold have come in from Europe to help along the return to good times, although we were told that the Sherman 'act was the cause of so much gold being sent abroad a short while back and that unless Congress was convened. in extra session and this monster wiped from the laws of the land the whole of the one hundred million gold reserve fund would soon be exhausted.

NewTorkCtty. Late Pastor Bloommedale Betormed Cbnrca. Tbi Csxtacs FOR As in past years, MOTTO our STATE BANK NOTES.

In view' of the-renewed attention given to the system of State banks proposed in the national Democratic platform, it is of interest to consider the advantages expected by the advocates of the repeal of the tax on State bank notes from an extension of banking facilities, under proper safeguards of federal inspection, in the several States. Many parts of the South and West "are without Persons having money for which they have no present use have no safe place in which to deposit it. Much of the capital of such communities lies idle, hid away in stockings. The sums are small, taken singly, but gathered together they would form considerable amounts, and in the form of loans by banks on good security to enterprising persons would vitalize local industry. The South and West complain of lack of money, not because money is wanting, nor because they lack collateral, but largely because local banks are wanting to gather deposits, make loans and issue well-secured notes varying in volume with local needs.

For purposes- for payments to be made at distant, places, in other States gold coin, greenbacks and national bank notes can, it has been suggested, be had when wanted, but there are local needs that can be served adequately by a local currency. Just as a well-known 'citizen's checks pass through several persons' hands before they reach the bank on which they are drawn and thus serve somewhat as a sort of local currency, so, in this view, the notes of a local bank may constitute currency of a somewhat wider use, without pretending to the character of a national currency. Some 95 per cent, of ordinary business transactions in our cities are effected by: means of checks. It is not a legitimate argument against the use of checks for local purposes to say that checks good in Philadelphia are not good in San Francisco or New Orleans. It is enough that they are good within the limited area within which they are designed to be used.

22, 1893. a 1. xii ens AiiorneY. Chattanooga 1 mmmD OIK FORM. The brief report hot a full synopsis even-r-of Senator Vance's speech in tbe Senate on the silver question, is too meagre to enable us to judge of its merits as a whole.

We hope to read the full text soon. What was given was interesting, instructive, and on lines of exact truth in so far as is known now or can be forecast. He is for the free coinage of silver, and op posed to the repeal of the Sherman act without conditions and guarantees. He is afraid of the result that it will be the complete wiping out, demonetizing of silver for this generation at least. He was striking in bis inter- 1 1 preiauon 01 me nnanciai pians in me Chicago platform, and said that if the interpretation now placed upon it by many of the go Id bug advocates and others bad been openly stated, plainly, frankly stated last year, that Mr.

Cleveland would not have carried a Southern State. The hardest hit in his speech as reportetL'n tbe Messenger is this "Members of Congress declared they loved silver money, bimetallism therefore they slew it. wanted both metals therefore they abolished the one. They wanted gold and silver coined on terms of equality according to their platform; so they stopped coining silver. They desired to maintain the parity, but cut the only cord that held silver up and permitted it to drop out of sight.

That is a very happy stroke of the reductio ad absurdum. Senator Vance takes no step backward. He stands by first impressions and beliefs. The platform does not call for free coinage of silver in so many words. That is so.

But it does not lavor inequality, or injustice as between gold and silver. Read this and you will see what is said, mnd if you have fair intelligence you can hardly mistake the meaning "We hold to the use of both gold and sitter as the standard money of the country, and to the coinage of both gold and silver without discriminating against either metal, or charge for mintage, but the dollar unit ot coinage 01 both metals must be of equal intrinsic and exchang-able value or be adjusted through international agreement or by such safeguards of legislation as shall insure the maintenance of the parity: of the ttco metals and the equal power 'of every dollar at all times in the markets and iu the payment of debts; and we demand that all paper currency shall be kept at par with and redeemable in such That is in silver and gold. There is not a word to show that it was even hinted at that there should be a destruction of or limitation of silver coinage, the enthronement of gold and henceforth a single gold standard. There are scores of Democratic newspapers as well as politicians who have got so far away from that plank that Democratic law, that they cannot so much as touch it with their big toe. Last year they "'orated" and "writ large" for silver, but now they are of quite another mind, and are actually rejoicing over the supposed destruction of silver.

The platform plank concluded its declaration for silver principles with these words to be remembered "We insist upon this policy as especially necessary for the protection of the farmers and laboring classes, the first and most defenseless victims 01 unstable money and fluctuating currency." Was that a tub thrown to the gold whale? Was it a mere noisy decla ration meant to deceive the people Wilmington Messenger. THE PROSPEROUS SOUTH. It would be hard to assign an ac ceptable reason for the South's present prosperity, for while the North, West and East have been troubled by a restless condition financial circles, the South seems solvent and quiet. Possibly, their bank deposits are not made up as largely from a class of small depositors as are those in the other sections of our country. But the cause lies deeper.

Changes in many directions) have placed the South on a sure and stable foundation But a few years ago the exportation of fruits and vegetables from this favored land was no element of trade. Now, with rapid train service, this trade probably aggregates $50,000,000 a year, and rapidly growing. New and large orchards of small fruits will be adding, from year to year, to this total. While cotton is low in price, the production has nearly doubled in ten years, and now the United States, or the South, produces two-thioJs of the cotton used in the world's manufacture, In permanent value, however, the development of manufacturing establishments in new. lines has been a much more important factor than the products of the soil.

The cotton that blossoms and blooms in the sun is now being turned into thread and cloth within sight of the fields wherein jt grew. Coal and iron are so largely produced that the day may not be far distant when Pennsylvania's crown of iron will be placed on Alabama's brow. And that i Massachusetts, too, will be compelled to give up her pre-eminence in the making bf cotton goods and congratulate Georgia upon her success in the race. The production of corn has increased largely, and naturally therewith more cattle and In short, all the possibilities of this section ot our country are being developed. No man in the North begrudges the South one iota of her prosperity.

Indirectly all enjoy the usufruct. The prosperity of one part is the prosperity of alL It is but the beginning of greater things. Not a generation ago it was a desolate land. It a person with a stout heart to eyen hope. But the changes came, and: came with a rush.

It has not stopped, nor will it stop so long as the natural advantages of the South exist and need development. Cincinnati Tribune.

Saturday says 'V President Cleveland and Secretary Ca like had a conference'' to-day and agreed that of all the plans proposed the best was to coin the seigniorage of silver now in the treasury. That amounts to 52,000,000. Mr.

Carlisle talked with the leaders of both houses of Congress about the matter to-day and found them all in favor of the plan. Whether or not a bill providing for this will be adopted at once or delayed untill after the passage of the repeal bill by the Senate has not been decided. Senator Gorman' is inclined to the opinion that it had best be delayed -until after the passage of the repeal bill. -ecretary Carlisle and several senators who rank among the leaders think such action would facilitate the passage of the repeal bill, it being just what tbe silver men are crying for. The President has been urged to send a special message to Congress urging the immediate passage x( such a bill, but whether he does or not, the plan has been agreed upon and a bill providing for the immediate issue of 3552,000,000 of silver certificates and the coinage of the $52,000,000 of bul lion to be held in the treasury for the redemption of the notes will probably be- adopted within less than two weeks.

Everybody in both houses will favor this bill. There will probably not be a of votes against it. This is certainly a further recognition of silver as a money metal. SENATOR TELLER ON NEWSPAPERS. The Colorado Senator Jumps on the Metropolitan Press in a Vigorous and Emphatic Manner.

In the Senate last Saturday Senator Teller, of Colorado, made a speech which in part was devoted to a denunciation of the newspaper press of the country, especially the metropolitan part of. it, the big city blanket sheets for its imprudence and mendacity. And we are much inclined to take the Senator's view of it. An account says Mr. Teller commenced his speech by referring to the lecturing" which the Senate was receiving from the newspaper press of the country.

Senators, he said, were ordered as if they had masters to proceed, without deliberation, contrary to the traditions of the Senate, contrary to the principles laid down in the constitution, to do, with hot haste, that which in the judgment of, if not a majority, at least a very respectable minority of Senators, would be a very disastrous thing to do. Not only had Senators been told that they must vote at once, but it had been asserted over and over again that Senators who represented States fortunate enough to be filled with mineral wealth were representing their individual interests and had not even the right to vote on the question. In the many years he had served in the Senate he recollected no instance where a Senator representing a manufacturing State had declined to vote on the tariff question because his people were directly interested in manufactures. He (Teller) had no more interest individually- in silver mining than any member of the body. He bad no properties in silver, and had never mined an ounce of silver in his life.

But he had come to represent a people which had produced a large amount of metallic money, and he had come to protest against any legislation that would seriously embarrass the people, not of his State alone, but of that portion of the country which was in area at least one-third of the whole United States. He should not be deterred from doing his duty, as he saw it by any newspaper attack or by any chamber of commerce appeals and if there should appear (as it was published there would) on the 25th of this month, three or four or five or six hundred representatives of chambers of commerce or boards of trade, they would be powerless to affect his vote, or to change his course, on the pending measures. Mr. Teller went on to read from an article in to-day's Washington Past to the effect that President Cleveland had co.ne to the conclusion to grant no concessions, and would not agree, to any proposition for silver legislation after the passage of the repeal bill; and that this stand of the President renewed the confidence of the friends of unconditional repeal and gave them unwavering faith in the final passage of the measure. "I do not," Mr.

Teller continued, "mean to say that these newspaper statements correctly represent the President's mind on this subject. I leavo that out of consideration, except to say that they profess to speak for the people. They say that the people, without regard to party, are demanding from us certain action. They tell us what the Senator from Missouri (Vest) savs is untrue that the President of the United States is interfering in this matter. The Senator from Missouri connot change my opinion as to the mendacity of the pjblic press of the country.

I know that the day of great newspapers, edited by great editors, is past; and that the publication of a newspaper is like the running of a manufactory. It is for money. I do not mean to say that they are always false, or even sometimes false; but I mean to say that they no longer represent the public. It is a question of influence upon them. It may depend entirely upon who owns the stock of the paper; or it may depend entirely upon the private views of somebody who writes the editorials.

They are no longer headed by men like Horace Grely and. Henry J. Raymond, whom we all remember. There is not such a paper in the country. But I saw the other day an equally unreliable statement, which shows how mendacious the newspapers are.

It purported to be a telegram from the President of the United States to a member of Congress, congratulating him and his associates on the passage of the repeal bill by the House of Representatives. Will anybody tell me, Mr. Teller exclaimed in well-feigned astonishment and indignation, that the President of the United States was guilty of that gross breach of public decency? Why, of course it was a newspaper yarn and a newspaper falsehood. The President of the United States attempting to procure legislation, having carried it from his summer home at Buzzard's Bay, sent his thanks we are told to Mr. Wilson and his associates.

Incomprehensible, impossible, what further need do you re quire of the mendacity of the press? If any Senator thinks he ought to defend the press on that particular point, I will give way for him to make the defence. (Laughter on both sides of the chamber.)

14, 1893. The appointment of Charles B. Esq, of Goldsboro, as United States District Attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina, has been announced. There appears to be but little prospect of an early vote in the Senate on the repeal of the Sherman law. The silver men seem determined to fight it out on their line if it takes all winter.

The Dexter Shoe Company, of Boston, is the latest concern in the field asking publishers to give them advertising space in their papers for nothing. They offer stock in the company instead of cash. Sensible newspaper men will take no stock" in the Dexter Shoe on those terms. From a sample of verses printed in the Daily Sentinel of last Thursday, it appears that a poet is languishing behind the bars in Forsyth county jail at Winston. More's the pity that larger numbers of those who afflict a patient and long suffering public with wretched doggerel of this kind do not share a similar fate.

The Murfreesboro Index says: Sensible people will wait until the Democrats in Congress have failed to find a satisfactory solution of the financial problem before beginning to find fault. But they don't." Yet it would not do to say that some fault finders are not sensible people, however they may have ai poor way of showing it. There appears to be blood on the moon round about Raleigh. the editor in chief and local editor of the News-Observer-Chronicle indulged in-a few personal and jointed remarks in their issue of Tuesday for the benefit and future guidance of the Durham Globe man. But no more deadly bullets than newspaper squibs will be resorted to and the fighting will be at long range 26 miles.

The Gordonsville Gazette says it has revolutioned journalism in this section." This is a wonderful work for a newspaper infant, 12 weeks old, to accomplish. We hope the revolu tion was bloodless. Orange (Va.) Observer. We have observed that as a general rule papers started with the idea on the part of the proprietors that they were going to revolutionize journalism," have been about the first to evolute out of business. The Washington correspondet of the Richmond Dispatch, writing to that paper under recent date made the lol lowing mention of Senator Ransom Senator Ransom does not often make a speech' in the Senate, but he is regarded as one of the greatest party workers the body of which he is a member, and the talk here is that he has done as much as any one else to create a sentiment toward liberal compromise, so far as the financial legislation is concerned.

The Caro lina Senator is indefatigable in his work, and has great influence among his legislative associates. Prefacing his remarks about Sena tor Vance's speech last Friday, Mr. E. W. Barrett, the Washington corres pondent of the Atlanta Constitution, says: Senator Zeb Vance of North Caro lina, delivered one of hie characteristic speeches on the silver question to-day.

When it is announced that he is to speak the Senate is always crowded To-day was no exception. The North Carolinian has the happy faculty of holding the close attention of his audience by interspersing his argument with illustrative anecdotes. He was never in better form nor has he ever delivered a better speech than that of to-day. fr We agree with the Wilmington (Delaware) Star when it says The rage for illustrations in the daily newspapers has reached a point that imperatively demands a reform. Illustrations are well enough in their way, and when they are reasonably accurate, and tend to assist in explaining the subject-matter of the article with which they are they are timely and valuable.

But with many papers there is simply a craze tor illustrations, no matter whether they are accurate or not, and often with an entire indifference to their unsightly character. The so-called portraits of public men printed in the big metropolitan dailies are frequently sufficiently scandalous to furnish their subjects with ample grounds for libel suits. The Reidsville Weekly, whose editor Mr. J. R.

Webster," has recently been in Washington says this of Senator Ransom and the influence he is likely to exercise in behalf of a compromise on the silver question Senator Ransom is not making much noise, but he i using his influence to hold the party to the platform. Whatever is secured in the way of a compromise will be due in a large measure to his efforts. Our i senior Senator's hand has not lost its cunning and his fine work will show up in due time. He knows the true situation in this State and recognizes the importance of giving the people what they have asked for. On the occasion of the presence of the West Point cadets at the World's Fair, the Chicago Herald- took occasion to pay the Southern: boys and the records made by them at that famous institution, a high and merited tribute.

It says One curious thing about the cadets is the f4ct that the Southern boys as a rule stand higher in their classes than do their Northern brethren. It is easy to understand that they should more readily grasp the military spirit, for their fathers before them jwere lovers of arms, and had excellent military companies in every city in the South, while men of the North were busy making money. But why should they excel intellectually is not so easily understood. Yet it seems to be an admitted fact that they do. The clouds of financial depression are passing away.

Money is getting easier and more plentiful in the great business centres. Times are growing perceptibly better. Suspended banks all over the country are resuming, and what is more, they are paying cash. The premium on currency has disappeared, and a contemporary notes the fact that plenty of money is hand to move the cotton crop, which will in turn set a new current of gold westward across the Atlantic. Mills in all parts of the country are resuming ojjeratians.

There is a rebound from doubt and gloom to confidence and buoyancy, fully reflected in the exchanges, the markets, and in the movements of men upon the streets. The fire is coming back into the eyes of buyers and sellers. It is evident that there will be as sudden a turn for the better in this year of our Lord 1893 as was shown in the remarkable recovery of 1884. In the words of the laureate of optimism We may be happy yet Tou bet. THE PANIC IS OVER.

The concensus of opinion is that the panic is about over. Certainly we have seen the worst of it and the ten dency now is toward general improvement. The American Wool and Cotton Reporter says The country has already entered upon the road to recovery. Following in this line the Lowell News says that in financial circles there is already an easier feeling, as is indicated in the lowering of rates of interest on loans ana the increasing facilities in obtaining time loans the tendency is normal money, and some of the keenest ob servers in financial matters have ex pressed their opinion that money will be a drug in the market in a short time. In the mercantile and industrial world there is also evidence that change has taken place and that the convalescent period has set in, which will lead inevitably to absolute re covery.

1 The mills are starting iup, and orders are being placed by buyers, Naturally, the mercantile and com mercial interests will be the slowest to recover, but there is ample warrant lor the belief that the recovery will be rapid, and that good business will be an accomplished fact long before the period pessimists would have expect. It is a fortunate circumstance remarks our contemporary, that the cause of the depression was not due to any inherent trouble in the industrial or mercantile interests that it was not due to over-expanson of credits or to over production of goods and to this may be attributed the proba bility that the recovery to general Dusmess will be rapid. IT WAS A GIRL. Mrs. Cleveland Gives-Birth to the xirsi inuatforn to a President in tne Executive Mansion.

.1 1 Washington, Sept. 9. Mrs. Cleve land gave birth to a daughter in the White House to-day. Although the interesting event occurred at noon the President did not announce the news until two hours later.

This is the first child ever born "to a President in the Executive Mansion and that event promises to make the new arrival's history a memorable one. Mrs. Cleveland and the baby are doing well.

In like manner it has been said of State bank notes' that their existence is Justified if they serve a useful purpose within the State. It is not necessary that they should compete with the national currency, that circulates everywhere. They can be, printed on a kind of- paper and in such colors that the most ignorant person at a glance would distinguish State from national currency. Would the note issues of State banks be well secured? This resolves its el into the question whether State bank notes can be made safe whether American experience shows the thing to be practicable. The answer is found in the record of the State banks of Louisiana, Indiana and Massachusetts before the civil war.

These States had banking laws which secured absolutely the safety of note issues. All authorities agree upon this. The Louisiana law is pronounced by experts eminently scientific" and the model for other States and countries. None of the Louisiana banks suspended in the panic of 1857, although most "of the banks of the country were temporarily closed by that catastrophe. Tbe notes of the Louisiana banks were not secured by bonds, State or national.

Their principal security was a requirement that each bank should have a specie reserve equal to one-third of all its liabilities to the public. There were other wise regulation shall contribute to the unquestionable success of the Louisiana system, but the requirement that the specie reserve should be equal to one-third of the liabilities, whether deposits or 'notes, was found to be ample. Bonds, as security for notes, were shown not to be necessary. The Indiana and Massachusetts laws were similarly successful, and their success may be pitted against the argument drawn from the failure of the banking laws and notes ot other States. Our forty-four States have only to copy the Louisiana law, say the friends of State banks, to make their State bank note issues as gool as But granting that the adoption by all the States of a good banking law would make State bank notes safe, it may be asked how the forty -four States can be induced to enact such a law.

The answer, it has been asserted, lies in the present ten per cent, tax on State bank notes. A law to the effect that a tax of ten per cent, shall be collected on notes not issued under State laws framed on a certain model (the Louisiana law) would; it has been suggested, cause all the States that desire State bank notes to legislate the same way. 1 Submission to federal, as well as State, inspection at frequent intervals could be made another condition, it is said, of the removal of the ten per cent, tax.1 Educational ftfods are now givenjo State institutions on condition that State educational laws conform- to certain conditions. It is an interesting question whether State action in regard to banking can be similarly controlled. Baltimore Sun.

Some Remin iscences. Editor Gold Leap: In the Raleigh News-Observer-Chronicle of the 5th -Capt. Ashe, in a brief editorial article commenting on some reminiscent remarks of Col. Creecy, of the Elizabeth City Eeonomist-Fedeon touching the origin and application of the name of Oregon inlet, states that the steamer Oregon was the first of the kind that ploughed the waters of the Pamlico and Tar. In this he is mistaken.

In 1836, or perhaps in the spring of 1837, the side wheel steamer E.D. MacNair was the first that ever made the trip from Washington to Tar-boro. She was a small bnt beautiful boat, and (-was owned by Mr. Wm. Tan-nahill, father of the late Maj.

Robert Tannahill, of New York City. She made several excursions between the two places, but was designed to tow rafts to the large lumber mills located at Wash-inerton. N. C. owned by the firm of Tan nahill Laventer.

In June 1816, the stern wheel steamer Wayne, owned by Messrs. Dibble of Kinston, N. commanded by Capt. DeLand, was put on the same route. She made several excursion trips to Tarboro, but was taken off.

In the spring of 1848 or 1849 the merchants of Tarboro formed a company and I purchased the side wheel steamer Oregon, commanded by Capt. Hale, but she, drawing too much water, was not available and was taken oS and sold to W. H. Willard. I think she was afterwards used in the barter trade 'for several years on Pamlico river, commanded by Capt.

Hale. During the war she was used by the Confederate Govern ment and name was changed to the Col. D. H. Hill.

Her hulk lies buried in the sands of the Tar a few miles below Tarboro. I think about the year 1849 quite a large steamer, the Gov. Graham, was placed on the Tar, but proving too large was taken off. Ifrthe fall of 1849, the stern wheel! steamer Amidas, owned by Messrs. John Myers Sons, "Washington, commanded by Capt.

DeLand, plied between Washington and Tarboro one or two years. She was sold and replaced by the stern wheel steamer Morehead, commanded by Capt. DeLand, afterwards by Capt. Quinn, and plied between Washington and! Greenville. B.

F. Havens built and put on the same route the ftcrn wheel steamer Wilson. Other parti. afterwards put on the stern wheel steamer ColSon Plant, then the Isis and North East, Greenville, side wheel steamers Tarboro, Beaufort and B.L. Myers.
