""r The Asheboro Courier PKICE ONE DOLLAR A YEAR Win. C. HAMMER, Editor. "DON'T BLAME ROOSEVELT." Referring to the President finan cial Condition, Mr. Bryan in an ad dress at Lafayette, Ind., said: "We are in the midst of a finan cial stringency that is in some re. epect'more acute than that of 1893. I am not going to blame the Presi dent or a Republican administra tion, but I know who would be blamed if I were President. If I were President, every crossroads Republican would be blaming me. The panic of 1873 came 12 years after they took power, and 11 years before they surrendered power to the Democrats. Iam not going to blame the President because I do not think blame should be laid at his door. I'm going to do him the justice to say 1 won't join the cho rus of Eastern financiers, who want to make him the scapegoat. Those who violate the law should be blam ed, not those who have turned on the light recently. "There is no excuse for the peo ple to be afraid that their banks are not solvent. Our barns are burst ing with the products of the field. What is the cause of this panic? Who is to blame? Tbe Republican leaders who had control of the coun try for 4? years. They have so chained us to Wall Street that when a Wall street gambler fails, our business world trembles all over the country. I "The common people and not the Wall street gamblers should j handle this situation. The man who will draw out his nn.uey now J when he does not need it is iu the i aanii eluss as the man who would ! lefuse to aid his country in time of j war. This is a time when gre;:t patriotism ia needed.'' 1 It was a late hour last uight when Mr. Bryan began his address. IIe said that after serving in two cam- j puigns he did not feel like volun-1 teerin, again, although he would j accept the presidential nomination ! in l'JUS, if "drafted." I GUARANTEED DEPOSITS. When Mr. Bryan was in Congress be introduced a bill providing for the government to guarantee to all! depositors of National banks fur all deposits. This to be done by levying a small tax on deposits to reimburse! the government. This tax would be sni-ili for in ten years depositors have lost only one ptr cent, of theii deposits or an average of only one tenth of one per cent, a year. The objection to Mi. Bryan's plan at the time lie introduced the bill in Con gress was from the large banks, which said that small banks would have an advantage over large banks for the reason that a bank with small capital would be as safe as one with large capital. But as large banks in the cities have suffered in the present panic worse than the .-small bank, the objection formerly urged would not now be used in op position to a similar bill. Why do you not publish the news, Mr. Editor, said a neighbor to us a few days ago. We do pub lish such news as will do more good than harm. This paper could give eonie spicy and interesting reading by turning the columns into a scan- tlal mongling sewer. There are skelt- jj. tons in many closets which could ;sf unearthed, but we are not iu i that business. We are not in jp j i this business to stop men's hearts from be ating and to scare anybody v ' out of their boots, neither are we i shooting with a gatling gun to j scatter wreckage. No, we are not f publishing all the news, nor all the .facts, nor are we here to try to wrefik vengeance on any one or pun ish, annoy or injuie any human Ibeing be he fnend or foe. C. F. Barns and Miss Lessie Isely were married at Carthage last week.""
