By the distribution of wealth is
meant the division of the product
between the different classes of pro-ducers,
chief nuiong whom are land-lord-,
capitalists, employers and
laborers, receiving, respectively,
rent, interest, profits and wages.
These shares are regulated, under
the present system of industry, by
certain eeonomie la« = whose per-son
depends on freedom
oi Competition. Freedom of compe-tition
may be impaired, and eco-nomic
shares increased or dimin-
:. by numerous causes. For
instance, if ignorance, lack of
gry, poverty, or injudicious laws
against " vagrancy" prevent labor-ers
from moving readily from place
to place, from one trade to another.
and thus from competing for their
share of the product on terms of
equality with the other classes of
producers, actual wages will be less
than economic wages. In the same
way aetual rent may differ from
economic rent if law (as in Illi-nois),
or custom (as Europe), or
public opinion (as in Kngland), or
political, social, and industrial deg-radation
of tenants ( as in Ireland),
enter in as a determining force.
Again, where the " immovability of
labor." referred to above, in great,
win re ■• hard times" and immigra-tion
have largely increased the
number of applicants for employ-ment,
w litre va-t resources, finan-cial
and political, are possessed by
the employer, and counteracting
influences, such as public opinion,
lie dormant, the employer will be
due to fear on the part of cipital-ists
that bor-owers, from incompe-tence
or dishonesty or resort to
unjust laws, will not repay princi-pal
and interest, new opportunities
for productive investment will be
neglected, end business men in
great need of capital to meet im-mediate
obligations will sell their
stock.at a sacrifice, and failures
and "hard timcj'' will result. If
interest is high bimply because
loanable cap:lal is scarce, the high
rate of interest may induce men to
save and lend as capital a part of
what they had formerly used in
personal consumption, thus in
creasing the supply of loanable
capital and ultimately reducing
interest. Oi. the other hand, if the
law unduly decrease or restrict the
the rate of interest, it may check
the accumulution of capital and
prevent the capital in existence
from being loane 1 w;»re and to
whom it is needed most and will do
the most good ; oi else ;< will lower
the Btandard of honesty among
borrowers an I lenders by inducing
them to resoi: to undetiiand meatio
of negotiating loanF nt a higher
rate than the law allow--.
If profits are increased, not by
the increasing ability of the em-ployer,
but at the expe-se of wages,
the gulf between employer and em-ployed
will be widened, the "con-flict"
between them will be embit-tered,
the proJucion of wealth be
diminished and riots arise in the
State. If excessive profits be due
to the privati utilization of public
monopolies, the public will be de-frauded
of its just dues, and a
dangerous aristocracy of wealth
may arise and exert a sinister in-fluence
on industry «nd politics.
If profits an unduly diminished by
law, or by the arbitrary dictation
of labor organization , the small
employers will be lorced to become
Blectica of Senators by the People. [ FCTSIONISTS FALL OUT.
The Senate Committee on Privi-leges
an 1 Elections has reported,
by a majority vote, against passing
an amendment to the Constitution
of tht I'nited States providing for
House Republicans Attack Senator-
Elect Butler.
K.u.EiGH, N. C, Feb. 14.—Bills
were introduced in the Senate to
day: To provide for lumber in-the
election of United States sena- jspectors; to regulate the drawing

to-day by the still more decisive
vote of 107 to 120, it declined to
authorize the issuo of $C3,000,000
three per cent, gold bonds with
which to replace the 3 3-4 per cent,
bonds negotiated with the Morgan-
Belmont syndicate in payment for
the purchase of 3,500,000 ounces
of gold coin.
The consideration of the joint
resolution for this purpose reported
yesterday from the committee on
ways and means by Chairman
Wilson, occupied all of the session
of six and a 'half hours and the
discussion attracted an attendance
of spectators which overflowed the
public galleries, and encroacl
upon that reserved for the diplo-matic
corps and other distin-guished
visitors.
The debate followed in a general
way the lines of the debate on the
Springer hill last week, but the op-position
to-day was much more ag-gressive
.ban on that occasion.
Nor IMEFIBID KV PATRIOTIC MOTIVES.
Mr.Wilaon waa aided in advocacy
of the measure by Mr. Kecd, Mr.
Payne, (Rep.), New York; Mr.
Turner, (Dem.), Georgia, and Mr.
Hynum, (Dem.), Indiana, all mem-bers
of the Committee on Ways and
Means, who urged that the joint
resolution was a business matter
merely disassociated from politics
or anything of that kind, the pass-ing
of which would result in a
saving of $10,000,000 to the people.
The opposition to the passing of
the joint resolution was led by Mr.
Hopkins, (Hep.), Illinois, atuJIt.
Brvan, (Dem.), Nebraska, membc-s
of" the Committee on Ways and
Means, and itdeveloped some start-ling
points.
Mr. Hopkins asserted that the
We are not at all surprised at this.
We expected it.
A great majority of the United
States senators are the creations
of rotten politics, which have se-cured
them their seats, either by
direct bribes to members of the
various Legislatures to vote for
work to begin on the Greensboro
and Norfolk railway.
The Senate refused to concur in
the House amendments to the bill

It was in no way surprising that
a body constituted of senators
holding 'heir seats by such a de-gradation
of the method of choos-ing
senators as has sent most of
the present United States senators
to Washington should turn and
light a proposition to make their
right ever to return the dependent
upon the untrammelled voice of
the free people of their States.
They were naturally going to set
their faces against any such plan
and do al! in their power to defeat
it.
Never mind, there is a day of
reckoning ahead in spite of this
action of the United States Sen-ate's
committee.
An old darkey in Buckingham
county, who had a high opinion of
Mr. Wood's dog, exclaimed to a
rabbit which bounded up before
him one i.ay, and made off at un-usual
speed. "Never mind, Wood's
Uanger trill catch you yet." The
old darkey had no more confidence
in the capacity of " Wood's Ban-ger"
than we have in a free people,
kept informed by an independent
and fearless press.
The people are going to take this
matter into their own hands and
elect their own senators by their
! own vote, and as they well know,

in the Senate acknowledge that

worse it .-.ill be for them.—Rich-mond

Several Republican resented at-tacks
made by Marion Butler's
paper, the Caucasian, charging
them with trying to smother the 0
percent, interest bill. They made
some severe remarks about Butler
and his pressure upon the Legisla-ture,
and they became even more
excited when a Populist said if the
6 per cent, bill was not passed the
Populists would no longer vote with
the Republicans, and that no more
important bills would be passed.
An effort was made to suspend
the rules and put the interest bill
on the second reading, but failed.
Bills were tabled to make May
30th a legal holiday and to prevent
preferences by insolvent corpora-tions.
IU TIER CREATING DISCORD.
Butler was not so sure of the Re-publicans
voting as he wished, on
the six per cent, interest bill, so he
hied himself to the House of Rep-resentatives
yesterday to enforce
his wishes by his bodily presence.
It is probable that Chairman Lusk,
and every other lawyer on the ju-diciary
committee, will withdraw
from the committee. They take it
to be an insult to them, the action
of the House on this bill. Mr. Ray,
a Democrat, on this committee,
said the committee had been in-sulted,
and that he would resign.
Mr. Lusk vindicated the Democrats
on the committee, and said they
had not shown any purpose to de-lay;
that there had been perfect
harmony except on one point, and
that a trilling political one. The
House bad demanded a report from
the committee on this bill before
they had had the bill two minutes.
A bill has been introduced in the
Senate, and reported favorably by
the committee, to make it unlaw-ful
for any person to sell railroad
tickets except as authorized agents
of the railroad companies. The
Alliance Legislature several years
ago passed a bill prohibiting ticket
brokers from doing business in this
State: the last Legislature repealed
this law, and now another bill an-tagonistic
to the brokers has been
favorably reported.

be best illustrated by considering
gome of the effects resulting from
the too much and the too little in
each case.
If rent be excessive, much land
might remain unemployed, or III-employed,
while those desiring to
become tenants would be forced to
other and perhaps less productive
localities, thus causing a loss in
productive force as well as the evils
attendant upon sparse and scat-tered
population. When no un-occupied
land is accessible, exces-sive
rent will reduce the industrial
efficiency of tenants, by lessening
their food, clothing or hopefulness,

THE NUMBER THREE.
Some Curious Superstitions Regard-ing
it in the Popular Mind.
There is a superstitious regard
for the number three in the pop-ular
mind, and the third repetition
of anvthing is generally looked
upon as a crisis. Thus an article
may twice be lost and recovered,
but the third time that it is lost it
is gone for good. Twice a man
may pass through some great
danger in safety, but the third
time ho loses his life. If, however,
the mystic third can be successful-ly
passed, all is well. Three was
called by Pythagoras the perfect
number,*iind" we frequently lind us
use symbolical of Deity. Thus we
mioht mention the trident of >ep-tune,
the three forked lightning of
.love and three headed dog of Pluto.
The idea of trinity is not confined
to Christianity, but occurs in sev-eral
religions.
In mythology also we find three
fates, three furies and three graces,
and, coming nearer to our own
times, Shakespeare introduces his
three witches. In public house
sians three seems to play an im-portant
part, for we frequently
meet with "Three Cups, " I hree
Jollv Sailors," "Three Bolls,
-Three Tuns," "Three Feathers —
in fact, the number of almost any-thing
of which a fertile
tion can conceive a trio In
eery rhymes and tales this number
is not unknown, and if we look
back to the days of our childhood
most of ue will call to mind the
three wise men of Gotham who
took a sea voyage in » bowl, not to
mention the three blind mice that
had their tails cut off by the farm-er's
wife. Perhaps there is some
occult power in the number which
