this country, the president intimates
that he is aware of a very strong feeling.
He is aware of the fact that it
has been suggested that a war with
Spain should be neither large in proportions
or doubtful in issue ; but of
this, he says, there is no need to express
an opinion. The fact remains,
however, that the United States has a
character to maintain, and that it
must not fall into the error that might
makes right. In concluding this subject,
the president gives utterance to.
some expressions which might be construed
as sounding rather warlike.
He says:
"Deferring the choice of ways and
methuda until the time for action arrives,
we should make them depend
upon the precise conditions then ex
isting ; and ibey snouia uot oe aetermined
upon without giving careful
heed to every consideration involving
our honor and our interest, or the international
duty we owe to Spain.
Until we face the contingencies suggested,
or the situation is by other
incideuts imperatively changed, we
should continue in the line of conduct
heretofore pursued, thus in all
circumstances exhibiting our obedience
to the requirements of public law and
our regard for the position we occupy
in the family of nations. A contemplation
of emergencies that may arise
should plainly lead us to avoid their
creation, either through a careless
disregard of present duty or even
an undue stimulation and ill-timed
expression of feeling. But I have
deemed it not amiss to remind the
congress that a time may arive when
a correct policy and care for our interests
as well as regard for the interests
of other nations and their citi?.
zens, joined by considerations of humauity
and a desire to see a rich and
fertile country, intimately related to
us, saved from complete devastation,
will constrain our government to such
nnrinn as will subserve the interests
thus involved and at the same time
promise to Cuba aud its iubabitants
an oppartuuity to enjoy the blessings
of peace."
*? Brief reference is made to the condition
of affairs in Turkey, and the
president expresses the opinion that
he does not believe this country will
be allowed to much longer offend the
sight of all Christendom.
There is quite a chapter on trusts,
and although there is little effort to
explain why existing laws on the subject
have not been enforced, the president
expresses the opinion that the
% trusts should be promptly crushed.
He does not think that tbv. Federal
government has sufficient authority in
the premises; but thinks that if the
various state governments would take
hold of the matter, their united efforts
would accomplish the desired end.
On the financial question, the president,
discourses as follows:
"I am more convinced than ever
that we can have no assured fiuancial
peace and safety uutil the government
curiency obligations upon which gold
may be demanded from the treasury
are withdrawu from circulation and
canceled. This might be done, as has
been heretofore recommended, by their
exchange for long term bonds bearing
a low rate of iuterest, or by their redemption
with the proceeds of such
bonds. Even if only the United
States notes known as greenbacks
were thus retired, it is probable that
the treasury notes issued in payment
of silver purchases under the act of
July 14, 1890, now paid in gold when
? j 1j u ,i;?
demanuea, wouiu uui uicmc muuu uw
turbance, as they might, from time to
time, when received in the treasury
by redemytion in gold or otherwise, be
gradually and prudently replaced by
silver coin. This plan of issuiug
bonds for the purpose of redemption
certainly appears to be the most effective
and direct path to the needed reform.
In default of this, however, it
would be a step in the right direction
if currency obligations redeemable in
gold, whenever redeemed, should be
cancelled instead of being reissued.
This operation would be a slow remedy,
but it would improve present
conditions. National banks should
redeem their own notes. They should
be allowed to issue circulation to par
value of bonds deposited as security
for its redemption, aud the tax on this

fourth of one per ceut.
"Io considering projects for the retirement
of United States notes and
treasury notes issued under the law of
1890, I am of the opinion that we
have placed too much stress upon the
danger of contracting the currency
and have calculated too little upou
the gold that would be added to our
circulation if invited to us by better
and safer financial methods. It is not
so much a contraction of our currency
that should be avoided as its unequal
distribution. This might be obviated,
and any fear of harmful contraction at
the same time removed, by allowing
> the organization of smaller banks and
in less populous communities than are
now permitted, and also authorizing
existing banks to establish branches in
small communities under proper restrictions.
The entire case may be
presented by the statement that the
day of sensible and sound financial
methods will not dawn upon us until
our government abandons the banking
business and the accumulation of
funds, and confines its monetary operations
to the receipt of the money
contributed by the people for its suparts)
tr\ tVio avnon^ifttro nf QlU'h
money for the people's benefit. Our
business interests and all good citizens
long for rest from feverish agitation
and the inauguration by the government
of a reformed financial policy
which will encourage enterprise and
make certain the rewards of labor
and industry."
In conclusion, the president make3
an apppeal to congress for the most
rigid economy in the matters of expending
public money, and hopes that
after all of the recent political differences
have been forgotten, there will
be no other recollection than that of
official duty well performed, and the
memory of a "constant devotion to
the interest of our confiding fellow
countrymen."

John Buzzard, the Edgefield, desperado
who was so horribly shot, stabbed,
and stoned by the Hendersons about
a week or ten days ago, was not killed
after all. He is said to be getting along

all, he may recover.

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
Whon this tube gets inflamed you have
~ onnml <vr inmerfeet hearing'.
a luuiuiiug ovum\% w. ? ,
and when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Seud for circulars, free.

RIDE A MONARCH
AND KEEP IN FRONT !
TOM COOPER
IS the champion BICYCLE RIDER OF
AMERICA. He achieved this distinction
while riding a MONARCH.
The Monarch is built for speed and service.
It has stood the test in competition
with scores of so-called high-grade wheels
and is the acknowledged champion. As
an undisputable evidence of the fact that
Monarchs are in front of the front rank,
we will say that during the past year,
when almost every other concern in the
United States was demoralized and cutting
prices all to pieces, the Monarch people
stood by the prices at which they
commenced the season, and notwithstanding
this fact, sold more wheels than
ever before. People who know a good
wheel always prefer the Monarch.

THE OLD RELIABLE'S
Ringing Words from Western
York.
WHISONANT & CASTLES, the reliable
hustling merchants of Hickory
Grove, never complain of the disadvantages
in freight rate that they have
to contend with; but sing out in no uncertain
tones that they meet competition
in every instance and from every source
and quote prices to prove it. They want
you to examine their Men's Shoes at 98
cents, and also their 89 cents Shoes for
Ladies.
They carry a nice line of gentlemen's
clothing and quote a whole suit at $3.90,
and assure you that no one can beat the
suit or price.
They boast of their square business
methods and low prices and prove their
claims by example rather than precept,
and parties who need goods in their line
can ao no better anywhere than at Whisonant
& Ca?tlea.
They still have on hand a FEW HORSES,
and anyone who knows theua, would
not hesitate to advise you to buy from
WHISONANT & CASTLES.
