Multiplying Uses of Iron.
Iron is theguage by which the prospei-
ityof this country is measured to a great
extent—when the price of iron is in the
ascendancy the country is enjoying pros¬
perity. 7’he great rolling mills of the
AVest, that a few r years ago were turning
ou ^ tons of steel rails every hour, are
heard of no more. They are supplanted

out hundreds of tons of castings daily for
the 8 reat office buildings and cities. stores
that are now being erected in large
To the ordinary beholder these
buildings are built of stone, brick, terra-
cotta and glass, but, in fact, the e itire
skeleton is of iron or steel, and all other
materials are merely masks with which
to clothe the monster. The building latticed is
constituted braced on the principal The of a brick

architectural veneer to give the building
a resemblance to its neighbors. As we

for the monstrous building will continue
at an increasing rate.—[Ft. Louis Con¬

“If ever there was a proposition spit is upon just
and kicked out with ridicule, that
fbe treatment which the Farme s’ Alli-
a ncc sub-treasurv bill has received at the
hands of both old parties in Congress.
At the same time that ridicule is heaped
upon the proposition of the farmers that
the Government shall issue money upon
the non-perishable products of their
farms, a bill is railroaded through to
issue hundreds of millions of money upon
the products of our mines.
We understand that another one of the
infamous Buel bank circulars from the
Bank Association of Wall 3treet, is on the
secret breeze, calling upon all the banks
in the 8outh to see that no Allianceman
goes to Congress from the South, and not
to extend credit to any one favorable to
the Alliance measures.* Is this not enough
to exasperate the people to desperation »

The Democrats of Wayne county,
North Carolina, declare in their plat¬
form: “That we favor the abolition of
the national banking system, and the
substitution of a better system that will
take the control of the money of the coun¬
try out of the hands of the few, a system
that will give us an elastic and flexible
currency, one that will contract and ex-
panel exactly with the annual products ol
the country, thereby furnishing a just and
fixed measure ftf their value, and that the
sub-treasury bill lately introduced in both
Houses of Congress comes more ne irlv ef¬
fecting this than any other measure yet
offered, and that we approve of and in¬
dorse said bill.”

The Alliance asked congress to pass
sub-treasury bill or something as good oi
better in the interest of the farmers, bul
congress failed to pass the bill or any¬
thing else pertaining to the groat agricul¬ the
tural interest of our land, but on
other hand they can «ud do grant prince
ly appropriations to this river and to thnl
harbor, to this big man's widow, to thal
city for a fine government building, thf tc
this national park, and that road to
national cemetery, to this battleship, and
that military post for libraries, gymnasi¬
ums, amusement rooms, etc. While this
may be well enough, we think the farm¬
ers who have nothing that is not taxed
to pay these appropriations, should have
some consideration. Farmers, are you
going to submit to such measures forever?

A Greensboro, N. C., dispatch of

besides the other state officers. The first
congressional convention met at Greens¬
boro, on Wednesday, for the purpose oi
nominating a Democratic candidate foi

were three candidates, viz: J. C. Buxton,
of Forayth county, a lawyer and very
able man; David Settle, of Rockingham
county, a ppDular politician, and “Uncle”
Baldy Williams, of Granville county, a
farmer and member of the Alliance. The
first ballot resulted in the nomination ol
the Alliance candidate by 213 votes. The
farmers are jubilant over their success,

* (Winfield, ___
The Industrial Free Frees
Kans.) says: “The money kings hate the
Alliance because it is educating the peo¬
ple, and showing the money kings up in
their true light. The professional educating politician the
bates the Alliance, for in
masses it shows up the politician ns a
trickster and traitor, and makes him lose
bis influence. The chronic office seeker
bates the Alliance, for it shows him up
ns the tooi of the money kings, and they
have no use for him. It hurts all
their pocket books and that is
the tenderest part about them.
The partisan press hates the Alliance
because it shows the masses how they
have been duped by the press in the em¬
ploy of the liberty assassins (the money in
kings). It also has a tendency to cut
on their financial outlook. None of those
fellows want the farmers to join the Alli¬
ance or any other labor organization, in their be¬
cause they show those fellows up
corruption and viciousness, and will
cause all sensible men to abandon them.
That takes the power to oppress away
from them, and without that power they
cannot steal the hard earned wages of th«i
farmer and laboier, hence no spoils, no
money, no prestige, no influence, no
slaves, but all equal. That is why they
kick.”
HARRISON'S LETTER.
HE WRITES TO THE GRANGERS ON THE
TARIFF QUESTION.
The Chicago Journal gives the text oi
a letter w ritten by President Harrison in
respone to, and declining an invitation to
attend the National Grangers' exhibition.
The president says in part:
“l'he tariff question, which is now be¬
fore the people, is the most important
question of the day, and the people
should be thoroughly educated on it, as
there is no doubt that is the farming ele¬
ment of this country the backbone of
this government. It is necessary that
ihey should understand this question, so
that they can choose between free trade
and protection, one of which would be
ruinous to the government, and the other
would be prosperity to the government.
7’iie free tradequestion is a dangerous one
lo handle, and if it should win in 1892 it
would cause great distress throughout the
land, something never experienced by the
American people.”

A raco riot occurred at Starr’s Mill, in

two negroes—Harrison Hastings and An¬
derson Williams, were killed outright, and
fully fifteen other persons received gun¬
shot and pistol wounds. Eleven are white
men, and from the best information three

were badly wounded. None of the white,
men have died so far, but two of them
ore considered in a very precarious condi¬
tion. Nearly 1,500 of the people of both had races been
from all parts county
attracted to the place by the report that
the pond, which covers three acres, was

became boisterous, and from a few small

PUailrouiiFire in Ormutnick.
Fire swept away $800,000 worth of
Brunswick property Sunday. The fire

tensely hot. From the Littlefield wharf
the fire quickly spread northward along

Co.’s warehouse; store house of Frank¬
lin s warehouse; Gian ber <fc Isaac’s store
and warehonse; Segue's fish house; Han¬

warehouses and wharf; three warehouses
formerly owned by James Drurey; St. Si¬
mon’s boat line wharf and warehouse;
part of Brunswick and Western Railroad
whaif and wharfmaster’s bouse. Large
quantities of grain, hay, groceries and li¬
quors were consumed. Many barrels of
turpentine and thousands of barrels of
rosin were burned. Two vessels narrowly
escaped destHiction. Had it not been
for the w r ind changing and the hard work
of the firemen, the Ocean house, the
Times building and many valuable stores
would have been burned. Several men
were prostrated by heat. Three are re¬
ported as burned to death.
