SENATOR VANCE'S LETTER TO THE PEOPLE OF NORTH CAROLINA. For many years past I bjive been In the hrtbit of visiting you in person during important campaigns and Ad dressing you upon the political issues of the time. Being on this Occasion prevented this privilege by the con dition of my hoaltb, and earnestly be lieving that the questions to be decN ded by our November elections are of vital importance to the public r welfare, I am indeed to contribute in tbi way my share in the ditcussion of them. I regard the situation as most criti cal. Since 1860 the legislation of our country has been almost exclusively within the power of one political par ty. Naturally it bt ceased to be general in its beneficence and has be come local an I partial in extreme. The law-making power has become the fearfully efficient implement of such classes, corporations, cliques and combinations as could by fair means or foul obtain control of it. It has been made to subserve purely personal ends. In divers ways the taxing power of tbo government has been prevented fiom public to pri vate purposes, snney is levied there by to enrich manufacturers, to sup press rivalry in business, and in every conceivable way to helg the favored few a; the cspnse of the many. The varid corrupting influences upon the' business world arising from this leg islation produce their natural ftfect. The classes whose business was thus fayored flourish apace, whilst the un favored have experienced in the midst of peace and plenty all the losses and hardships which are com monly felt only in times of public ca lamity; and the est aordinary speet ale is presented of a n&tion whose aggregate wealth is rapidly and vast ly increasing, whilst the individual wealth of its chief toilers and wealth producers is diminishing in propor tion, thereto. t'rora the Repub icai party, with its disregard of the limitations of the Constitution and its natural depen dence for support upon the money of the people whom it had enriched, all of this corrupt legislation has pro ceeded. Without it there was noth ing evil done that was done. It follows as an undeniable truth, that whoever directly or indirectly upholds, helps or supports that par ty is a friend to the corruptions which it has produced, and is an enemy to those who would repeal that legislation and reform the abuses founded upon it. There is no escape from it. The Democratic party, on the con, trary, believes in the strict limita;ions of the Constitution, and ha, as a party, steadily opposed all abuse of the taxing power, or any other power of the general government for private purposes, aod has unceasingly advo cated the most absolute and perfect equality of all citizens in legislation of our country. There is not a single wroug or in justice of which complaint is made in our laws for thirty years past which can justly be charged to the Demo cratic part'. Not one. It has ever been a breakwater against the t r annical tendencies of the Republicans and though in a minority has been able to prevent some of the worst legislation ever attempted and to modify other laws which in their or iginal iniquity would have been ; in tolerable. This statement of the acts and purposes of the two great political parties cannot be truthfully denied, Now what is the station ? What is it the manifest duty of our people to do in the coming elections ? The Wo great political parties in to which our people are mainly divid ed areonee more in the field with their platfoiras of principles and their can didates, State and Federal, thereon. The Republicans profess all of their old doctnns from which have come the evils of which the people com plin; they glory in that abuse of t he taxing power which has made a fcw rich and millions poor, and seeking new fields of injustice and oppression. they openly declare their intentions to take from the States the right to control the election of their own representatives, which is the chief bulwark of their rights and liberties. Tho Democrats re-affirm their ad herence to the Constitution, their opposition to tariff robbery, to bank ing monopoly and to corporate op pression in all its forms; and their desire to leave the power to control elections where the Constitutions left it, and where it has resided for more than one hundred years. Primarily ;t would seem that no Demociats. and especially no Southern Demo crat, could hesitate for a single mo ment as to which of these parlies de served his support. But a new party has arisen which is endeavoring to make the people believe that the Democratic party is no longer to be trusted. The argu ment to prove this is a travesty on common sense: That because for thirty years they have as a party steadily opposed all abuses and have not been able at any time to prevent or reform them, therefore is it no longer worthy of support of those who desire reform. The meaning of this is, that the Democratic party has been guilty of being in a minority. Its sin consists in not having done that which it could not do! Then let it b condemned, whilst the Republi can party, which has had the power and actually did all these things, and still has the power to undo them and does uot is acquitted. Nay, we will help it to keep in power by betraying and destroyidg its only enemy. Therefore, as the Democratic party, with its vast organization in every State, county and township in the United States, with its control of one branch of Congress and comprising in the popular vote a majority of all the people in the Union, has not been strong enough heretofoje to ef fect the reforms for which it has lab ored and wished, being without the Snate and Executive, they cl im the only dunce of reform is to vote for, j the candidates of this Third party, whore existence in the national gov ernment and power to o.nt.ol lejs- j lation arc evidenced by three or four j members of the House of Represen tatives and two in the Senate! Com mon sense and self-preservation would seem to dictate that we should help the Democrats, who are almost in power to get altogether in power, and trust the in to correct abuses as they h:ive promised. One s'rong pull at the polls in November next would give them control of . both branches of Congress anil the Executive, and the long right of misrule and Injus tice would burst into ',he dawn of a new and better day. It would be lime enough to leave them and form a new party when the had been tried j and proved faithless. But the leaders of this new party, falsely called the People's, insists that you shall abandon the .Demo cratic partj' now and vote with them. I am pri-ved to know that there are a good numoerofour fellow-citizens in North Carolina who propose to fol low that advice, It strikes me as the very extreme of unwisdom; and when done with a full knowledge of the consequences it ceases to be mere folly and becomes a crime. For whatever may be the hopes of these men, they know as well as they know of the r ov7n existence, that this par ty has not only no chance of elect ing their candidates at the polls, but also none of throwing the election in to the House of Representatives, about which they appear to be most sanguine. Let no man be deceived about this. The handful of votes which will be cast for Weaver in this State, be it as large as they can hon estly claim, cannot wrest the elector al vote from both Cleveland and Har rison, so as to help throw the choice into the House. It is abused to hope so. But thirty thousand (30.000) votes taken from Cleveland and giv en to Weayer will throw the vote not indeed into a Democratic House, but into the hands of Harrison. This re sult was so plain that the Republi can leaders, notwithstanding their professions to the conlrr', deter mined to not let slip the opportunity, and they are now ready with full tickets and a complete organization to ayail themselves ot everything which the dissension and folly of our people may throw into their lips. Their promises to run no State ticket were manifestly made with the inten tion of alluding a Third party ticket into the Geld, trusting that when men get hot and bad blood prevailed they might walk e ff with the prize in both State and Federal elections. Alas ! that want ot reflection or pa triotism should render this scheme a probable success. Indeed, it is so plain that no intelligent man can fail to see it or honest one deny it, that the only probable, not to say pos sible, result of the Third party move ment in North Carolina this fall will be to elect a full Republican State ticket and to aid in the election of a Republican P esident and House of liepresentntives. What is to be gain ed by that result I need not ask. How the reforms which they profess to desire are to be obtained through Kepub'.icau success is something which surpasses conjecture. No true ! friend of this commonwealth, 1 am sure will contribute to this result. It is imported that a prominent can didate on the ticket of the Third par ti' says he had rather suhmit to ne gro rule or any other kind of rule than such as we have at present; but I am forced to believe that if this be true, there are ver3 few other white men of North Carolina who are out side of the Penitentiary and who ought to be outside, who entertain sentiments so foul and brutal. Our people know that under Democratic rule they haye had good laws, low taxes, economy, and purity in the administration of their affairs, and I hopa and believe they will not likely risk its overthrow by canting useless or i elpless votes in November, The class of our people who have had greatest cause to complain of vicious legislation is the agricultural. The party which has steadily resisted this, and continually declaimed against it on the hustings and have struggled manfully to repeat it in the halls of legislation, is the Demo cratic. Yon will bear me witness that unremittingly since I have been your representative in the Senate 1 have both spoken and voted against that unjust legislaton. At home, as you know, I never ceased to expose its inequalities and to advise the fara.ers to organize for esistance to it. When they did begin to combine they had the sympathy and good w ishes of almost every jwst man in the United States who was not in some way the receipt of plunder ris-. ing from this at. use. Never was there a political move ment of our people founded nnnn better grounds or more reasonable complaint. Hut that which I feared . - and aaiast which I earnestly warned them, soon came to pass. Men who had little interest in aiirieu'ture and much inter st in their own fortuuea ' aspired to be its leaders. Often men who had failed to obtain office froni either of the old political parties con clnd d to form the farmers and raise personal crops of honor and profit out of Ihcm. They pressed to the front, ihrnst the real farmers aside, and involved the Alliance in the wild est and most impracticable proposi tions ever heard of among sane men; and in defiance of their constitution soon converted it into a mere political , . par; v composed of the discontented v . . r and the disapointed elements of so - isapoi ciety. professing no fixed political principles or regard for the Constitu tion of their country, but striving only to obtain the very worst of class legislation, which is their sole idea of statesmanship. Their proposition to purchase and control all the lines of transportation and telegraph in the United States at the expense of many billions of dollars, and of re funding to the soldiers the difference between paper and gold at the date of their payment, at least a billion more; of loading people money on real estate at lower rates of interest than the market rates, and kindred schemes, are so preposterom tha' argue them seriously is a slander upon our civilization; and the advo cacy of such measures for the hither to most conservative of our society is a notification to all the world that we are approaching that stage af dema gooism aud communism which mark a people as unfit for self-government. My unfaltering confidence in the true farmers of North Carolina, who as members of the AliiaEce will, I trust, not permit their noble Order and their just cause to be thus pre verted and debased. Rest assured that no real friend of that noble class of jren who, under the providence God, give us our daily bread, will ever consent to this degradation of their c.-iuse into the obsequious tool of unscrupulous, ambitious men, for feiting the sympathy of all moderate people, and making the very name of Alliance to stink in the nostrils of justice and common sense. I can but believe the good judgement of our farmers will enable them to see where these leaders are taking then., and that their native honesty will impel them to draw back In time to save their country. Many of i-nr people, ;t is true, have objected to Mr. Cleveland, and pre ferred that he should not have been nominated. I confess that I wasi among the number. But an indivi dual preference before the nomina tion of a candidate Is one thing, and the duty of a true man after the. nom ination has been fairly made is an other and very different thing if.dced. In the one case a preference may be indulged in properly, without danger to the principles we confess or the party which has those principlt s in charge; in the other case we endan ger both and falsify our pretensions by contributing nndeniably to the success of our adversaries. If we refuse to abide by the voice of the majority of our fellow-Democrats, freely and unmistakably expressed in friendly convention, ihere is no end of all associated party effort in the government of our countrj; if we personally participate in that consul tation or convention and then refuse to abide by tbd decision of the tribu nal of our own selection, then there is an end of all personal honor among me.;, and the confidence which is necessary to all comoined effort is gorje forever. The man who bets proposing to collect if he wins and to repudiate if he looses is in all countries and among all classes of people considered a dishonest man. But if the considerations of good faith do not influence men's actions in such a case as this, surely those which pertain to the public welfare ought to be deceived, if not satisfi ed with Mr. Cleveland t seems to me an honest man should balance accounts, pro and con, in , this way : Cleveland agrees with me in detiring to reform the oppressive tariff taxa tion, to restrict the abase of corpor ate privileges, to repeal the tax on State banks and thereby to expand the currency, and above all he is ve hemently opposed to Force bills' and all similar attempts to 'destroy the rights and liberties of the States. In all essential reforms ha agrees with me except to the single matter of the free coinage of 6ilver, and in respect to this there is reason to hope that the same candor and vigorous inves tigation which brought him in full sympathy with hit party on the great question of tariff reform will soon bring him to see the absolute neces sity of maintaining both of the pre cious metals on a par to meet the ur gent needs of the currency of the world, Harrison, on the contrary, agrees with me in nothing; there is no chance of reform which I desire that he is not bitterly opposed to, and his party with him. Why. then, should I hesitate 1 Either mv vote Weaver wjll kelp Harrison and in- jure Cleveland or it will not it can not arail Weaver for he has not a chance whatever1, will probably not carry a sing'e State; whr, then, should I risk doing a damage to the candidate who would do most for me, though he does not promise to do all. and contribute to the elect on of the one who promises me nothing but an indefinite continuance of existing w-ongs and an insolent threat of other and greater wrongs so soon- as ' he has the power to perpetrate them f uc - ,, It seems to me, fellow-citizens, l . . , . f that the path of duty was never more plain or the necessity of walking in it more imperative tlun it is at tb's moment. Let me beg your earnest consideration of the situation before you vote in November, and before you cut I0033 fro.n the old constitu tional Democratic partv, which in times of our extreme peril has so of ten br night us forth out of the house of bond ige, and abandon its shining banners to follow reckless and in competent men into the wilderness ol their unreal schemes.. Think well of the possible result of your actiou; how easy it is to destroy, how hard to rebuild. I recently cut down in ray mountain home, in about five hours, a tree that had taken five hun dred years to grow, The Democratic purty is strong and able and willing to hear you; its arm is not shortened that it cannot save 3ou; to cherish and uphold it is the dictate of patrotisna and common sense.
