* 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 ftk/v.il/1 Ka nnti<l tn nnp. CirCUiailuu auuum wv ?vv*v*vv?i 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." Might Recover. 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 first rate and it is given out that, after all, he may recover. AT THE CHURCHES. trinity methodist episcopal. Rev. A. N. Branson, pastor. No prayer meeting this week.

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. GRIST COUSINS. .1. II. RIDDLE. N. C. N. O. M.

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.
