that religion is a matter of growing popu¬

which is most valuable to thc seculai
press demands to know what is going on
in thc world of religious thought and life.
It is encouraging to note that scandal:
concerning ministers aud churches nc
longer monopolize the columns devoted
to religious matters. Another remarka¬
ble fact is that the greatest number ol
books published last year in this country,
next to works of fiction, were on religious
subjects, while a large proportion of the
novels also were written with religious
aims. No subject occupies so large a
place in current thought as that which

him:

“They are robbers caves for the stor¬
age of State goods. A national bank
buys a thousand dollars worth of bonds
for eight hundred dollars and receives
interest on them. The government then

those bonds to be loaned to the people at
a rate of interest amounting to about fif

The fact is thev set about twenty-five

“What do you think will give com¬

“The direct issurance of money to the

of money is often all based upon the abil¬

The Alliance (Tallahassee, Fla.) says:

Each of you think the mono- olios that

If you examine carefully you will find
the same robbing principle runs through
all of them.
The national banking system is the
daddy and mammy of all of them. It
dominates all of them. Other monopolies
only dominate a certain thing or article
as the Standard does the oil. The
national banks dominate and control all
others. In fact, and in short, dominates
production The . of all kinds.
land is the source from which a’l
wealth is produced. Labor is the means
changed. If so, then the logical deduc¬
tion is, that amount of money in actual
circulation in a country regulates the
price of labor, labor products, and all
property. It being the only means by
which wealth is exchanged, and the legal
means to pay debts. If so, then there is
no question so vital, of so much import
ance to the people of a country as the
control of the volume of money. The
power to inflate or contiact it is certainly
a great power to place in the hands of
any man or set of men. The power to
say when you may work, the power to put
a price on your labor, or the products of
your labor, your farm, your grain, horses,
sheep, hogs and cattle. This power the
national banks have, the power to control
the volume of money, to contract or in
flate as their interest may dictate.
As they are organized, it is your duty
(o organize; and you have done so. Will
you now* sustain this organization? If so,
you must be faithful and steadfast to the
end -

in Secretary Blaine’s long expected letter
April answer 2, to Marquis Rudini’s note of
was delivered Wednesday to
Marquis Washington. Imperial'!, The Charge d’Affairs at
reply, which is a
lengthy and exhaustive document, con
tains internal evidence that this govern¬
ment has hot bc«n threatened if an an¬
swer was delayed, or of disregard for
ruch threat if it were made in the leis¬
urely manner in which he states that the
president “has taken full time for con
siderafion” of the treaty questions in¬
volved. It is also noticeable that the
secretary promptly checks the attempt
made by Rudini to commit the United
States to a promise to pay indemnity by
pointing to the guarded language of his
first dispatch and indulging in a number of
qualifications, the purpose of which is to
requite a demonstration of several mat¬
ters that may be very bard to demon ¬
strate. Such for instance, is the fact
required to be legally shown that the
Louisiana officials connived at the killing
of the Italians, or that they purposely
failed to perform their duties. It is also
significant that the secretary has so far
found small authority for the assumption
in some quarters that the United States
may prosecute the guilty parties in its
own department tribunals, but it appears that the
of justice is still wrestling
with the problem.

DUNS REVIEW
Of the Condition of Trade for
the Past Week.
R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of
trade says: “It cannot be said that the
business of the country is expanding
when thero is a decrease of nearly one
sixth within a single month in the output
of pig ‘iron. In nearly all quarters
the admitted slackening of trade is at¬
tributed to merely temporary causes, but
the state of the iron trade cannot be thus
explained, and while it may at any time
change for the better, it is at present an
unfavorable symptom. Anthracite and
coke furnaces were producing April 1st
102,898 tons weekly, against 123,030 tons
March 1st; 171,108 tons December 1st,
and 107,670 tons a year ago.
The iron trade is very dull, and some
southern furnaces weakening as to price.
Another olement which may prove of
great, though temporary body importance, is
the decision of a great of miners to
strike May 1st for the eight-hour day.
At New Orleans trade is quiet; at Mem¬
phis caution rules, but at Savannah tho
prospect is bright, and there is an im¬
provement at Jacksonville. In general,
speculative markets are rather inert, and
the general average price is now 2 per
cent lower than it was two weeks ago.
The movement of wheat, flour and corn
falls far below last year’s. The' returns
of foreign trade for March apv loars to iii
dicat# an excess of about $7,000,000 ex¬
ports over imports, enlarge but exports cannot be
expected to from this time forward.
The stock market decidedly improved
most of tho week, with good railroad
earnings and prospects of easy monoy,
but has since growm weaker, though still
averaging about $1.37 per share higher of
than a week ago. Probably tho fear
important labor troubles has some influ¬
ence, the state of great industries is just
new altogether encouraging.
Failures for the week number 211; for
the corresponding week of last year the
figures were 170.

erty is Destroyed.

Btarted in a stable, the property of tho

his big house-furnishing establishment on
West Madison street, near Halstead. The
flames speedily communicated to the
furniture establishment, and a moment
later to Kohl & Middleton’s dime museum.
In a marvelously short time both struc¬
tures had turned into a mass of
flames, which darted across the Greet
and lodged in the upper stories of
buildings on the north side of Madi¬
son street.. A moment 'later firemen
along the thoroughfare found themselv. s
working between two towering walls of
fire. After a heroic fight the fire wa3
finally gotten loss, under control. '
The aggregating over $750,000, is
distributed as follows: John M Smith,
furniture, stock and building, $500,000;
Kohl & Middleton, curiosities, fixtures and
building, $85,000; Neely Bros , boots and

Sunday on a charge of opening a letter
and purloining therefrom a check. A
letter containing a check was mailed in
Raleigh recently to W. II. Hopson, at
Nelson. The letter-was received but no
check. Shortly after the check was
missed, Morris made an effort to get it
cashed in Durham. The case came ujf
before United States Commissioner Pur
nell. Morris gave bond for appearance
at the June term of the United States
court. His defense is that he aud Hop
son and were partners in the lumber business,
that Hopsou had authorized him to
open letters.
