FIGURES PRESIDENTIAL.
A valued exchange, the Rock
, fiill Record, has -compiled a tre
mendous bunch figures in or
der to ' show, those who assert
that Bryan polled a million more
votes 'than any candidate ever
named by the Democratic party,
lire in error* It is said that
figures cannot, lie, which we
believe to be a fact, but it is
Another fact that they can fool
you badly at times.
. The Record says that in 187G
?Tiiden polled more than 2,000.000
more votes than any other Demo
cratic nominee had ever received,
jand that in 1880 Hancock re
ceived 100,000 more votes than
jJid Tildeu. Granted, but those
Jig u res prove no guide for our
.actions of today, for those votes
were cast 27 and 32 years ago,
And the political situation of
those days and now are entirely
different. Our votiug popula
tion now, numbers millions more
ihaq then, and we may add, is
a different class, while the
.great questions now up for set
tlement had. never been thought
jof by the people of '76 and 'HO.
The writer acknowledges that
Bryan received in 1890, 940,000
more votqs than did Cleveland
four years previously. That is
pear enough to a million for us.
The reason Bryan was not elect
ed in 180G is because his votes
were not cast in the right lo
calities to insure the election of
his delegates to the electoral
College, while Cleveland's votes
*vere cast in those doubtful lo
calities. The only possible rea
son at present on the surface
Why Bryan is not elected this
year will be that the same con
ditions will prevail as in 1890,
And we do not have the slightest
idea that they will prevail. With
jthe record of the last Republican
Congress fresh in their minds,
we do riot )iesitate to remark
that the people will be u set of
senile fools to entrust their in
ierests ju the hands of a puppet
cf Roosevelt's. This is precisely
What will be the condi tiou if a
Republican president is elected.
RURAL PARCELS POST.
One of the important ques
tions that came before the last
Uongress was the establishment
jpt a "Rural parcels Post." It
was shelved of course, but we
Relieve is still on the calender,
and may be brought up in the
jiejft Congress and settled one
way or the other.
To those who may not know
>Vhat "Parcels Post" means,
wo will say that packages of
merchandise of whatever de
scription which under the pres
ent postal laws are not admitted
lo the mails because of weight,
jor other reasons, may be ac
i'. 'pled up I:) a curtain weight.
The object, of the measure is I
l> accommodate the rural patron
x>f the oountry merchant prim
jtiiii'ially, and -secondarily to re
duce or wipe oqt the annual do
Jlcit of the Post ottico depart

Naturally ill* cost of postage
Will be inolodtd hi Um bill for
the foodi, ,but that coat will be
ao small la comparison with the
benefit received that it tteed not
be considered.
With the system well estab
lished, we firmly believe that the
result will be to place the Post
office department on a self-sus
taining basis, and that within a
couple of years, we will have
one cent first class postage in
stead of two cents* as now.
If this is not a dream, the
country merchant can well af
ford to pay the postage on all
goods mailed by him, and this is
the only argument the oppo
nents of a "Rural Parcels Post"
have been able to advance.
Give us the "Rural Parcels
Post."

The average voter blames

SPENT 1,851 TONS OF GOLD.
I It Would Taks 24,063 Men to Carry
Money Congress Appropriated.
Washington, May -7. Just for
fear the people will not under
stand how much money this ses
sion of congress has appropri
ated, Representative Hamlin, of
Mississippi, today reduced the
figures to horsepower and man
power. lie announced that he
had found out Trom the treasury
department that 15) ?20 gold
pieces weighed a fraction under
one pound, and that a ton of the
metal was worth $540,000.
Upon the basis of a billion
dollar appropriation, he esti
mated that this session of con
gress had expended 1,851 tons
of gold. Loaded in wagons, one
I ?n So a load, and each wagon
placed in a line 7 1-2 yards apart,
Mr. Hamlin said the procession
would be 7 12 miles long. The
gold would till 92 1 2 freight
cars, each car carrying 20 tons,
mtiKfoir five tramloads. If loaded
on hacks of men, each currying
150 pounds, it would take 24,
005} men to carry the appropria
tions about town.
"There were 22,008 votes cast
for tho speaker of the house at
the last election," ho said: "It
would therefore, take all the
Republicans and 2.055 Demo
crats in the district of Speuker
Cannon to carry the appfpj j'itt

it Is stated tbs Bontbern rail
way has perfected a plan for
raising $16,000,000 and of this
turn twelve millions will be de?
voted to the completion of its in*
terrupted improvements. O f
course all that money will be ex?
pended in the south and it will
be used in the development of
the facilities of transportation
iu the south und the furthering
of business. It looks as if the
Southern railway is not so
frightened at the attitude of the
states of the south as it pretend*
ed to be and that the policy of
those spates in insisting on the
rights of their people against
the special privileges claimed
by the railroads ha9 not done
theinjuryvitclaimed would result.
But the most important con
sideration of the whole mutter
is the evidence of returning pros
perity and activity in business
given by this announcement of
the Southern railway's purpose
to carry through the improve
ments it was forced to abandon
about a year ago because of the
difficulty of raising money. The
conditions in the financial and
the business world are improv
ing material) v, and there is no
reason why the old prosperity
should not be with us again in a
few months, after the lilful fever
of the presidential campaign is
over. ? Charleston Post
