REPEAL, OP THE FEDERAL ILLECTIO LAW. The voters of North Carolina will remember that the Fiftysiirst Con gres3 (Reed-a Congress) attempted to pass what i3 known as the Force Bill. The bill passed the. House, but was killed in the Senate by the cleverness of the Democrats, with the help of a few Republicans. The statute books had then been burdened with odious and n.coastituUonal election laws for year3Uws that gave to Federal Supervisors the right to challenge the vote of any citi'zen and to count and determine the votes that they saw fit to allow cast laws that gave au officer of the army the power and discretion to use troops at the polls when in bis ppinion t became neces sary. These vile laws have been repealed by the present adiniiijsiratjop. Be low are given some of their provis lonr; Section 2007 di clared that when the law of a State declared that a citizen should not vote, because Itf had not complied with requirements of the State law, an olicer of the Fed oral Government foul J step up ami say h(ishull vofe,-aiu ihus tnke out of the ha .ls of i' e Sv-te the power to ifinnie it oa el-etio s. In other word.',- an oilier of the !L-i;C'l States cuM challenge any v(jer lit' c'iose. m d require him to give to hi n the Super. isor of pjlecs lion's "'the neocs ary quaiifiicatious to vote And if the S ipervisur wa3 not sat isfied with it, and the citizen attempts cd to vote, then the Supervisor had the power to sc.ul after him a war rent and have Wva arrested at once. Section 2022 gave United States Marshals and 'heir dputie s the pow to prevent a m n from voting mark ou, not challenge, not to leave it to the State Judge 'of Election to saj whether he has the right -but to de. termin.e whether the man had the right, and to prevent it. The election officers of the State said a certain citizen had the right to vote., but a Federal Supervisor said be had not, and he did not dare vote, Section 2009, 5506, 5511 and 5515 require the punishment of State offi cials for violating State laws. Just think, that a sworn officer of the State of North Carolina could be punished by another power. Under this law men have been torn from their homes for no other reason than to prevent them fron ex ercising a right vouchsafed to them by the Constitution of the State This odious law has been at places in North Carolina, and in some of the large cities, especially in New York City, when John Davenport pillaged the polls, outrages of the blackest character were perpetrated, until pavenportism" became a bys word of reproach throughout the land. The cost of thec Supervisors was paid by t -e people, and it amounted ' to hundreds of thousands of dollars. The Republican party always used , this law for all the votes and. a!l the money in i. Some accounts of Sus perviscrs were ueia up unner Air. rift eland's first administration, bes cause the' d,id n t expect them to be approved; but when Mr. Harrison be came President they were made out. presented ind paid. One Marshal's district under Mr. Cleveland's first administration cost $148,0QO, and the same district under Mr- Harrison's Marshal cost $2S4. 000 the slight difference of $135," 000. Tbi9 Democratic administration repeal-, d thee odious laws, and the solid Republican party voted aga nst that pari v enforced thoe laws, that i party voted to continue those laws in , force. That party now taik8 "honest elections." That party at tempted to give ns the Force Bill, and thereby forever prevent another fair and honest election - in the Uni ted States. jpunuc jl.a:yd restored. Every voter is familiar" with the corrupt grants of public land to rails road corporations. In most instans ces these grants were coupled with the condition that railroads should be bqilt within a certain number of years. During the first administra tion of Mr. Cleveland millions of acres of dublic land legally forfeited to the people were restored to pubs lie entry, and the good work goes on under thjs administration. The fol lowing list, from official sources. shows what has- been done in this line: LANDS RESTORED TO ENTRY DURING THIS ADMINISTRATION. Swamp lands 57,500.00 acres School and other lands. 19,125,77 Railroad lands 2,674070.51 Mineral lands - 1,100.00 Frandlent entries 118,960.09 it Total...: 2,770.85t5 2S Under MacRae For- feiture Bill (if it be comes Jaw)...- -54,003,000.00 Grand total 56,770,856.27 " The McRae Forfeiture Bill has parsed the Hou9e and will be consid ered in the Senate in december. tOR3 1IETTER XII A I'KOMISES. 'I he Democratic Congress passed a law depriving the legal tender Treas ury note of the Federal Governs m.ent of an attribute which the Res puiican Congresses had given them. The Republican Congresses had de clared that no town, county or State should lax these notes. Gold and silver and other notes were liable to be taxed, but these favored notes were set on a high pedestal above other kinds of money, and when a man wanted to avoid paying taxes on his ca9h he got these notes and es caped taxation with a clear consci ence. , The Democratic Congress, and it must be remembered this Is the first Democratic Congress and President we have had at one time since 1860. passed a law depriving those legal tender notos of this peculiar, exempt tion from taxation which the Repuhs licans had conferred upon them. And these things show how the Democratic Congress is iu sympathy with the people. POPULISTIC PROMISE Al POPt'LISTIC PERFOK3I- ArvtE. When a science is ppoken f a an ! "applied science" it is meant that the theories upon which it is-based j and the principles underlying it have been put into actual practice and the resnlts note. Any set of principles may be put to, the same test and the advantages to be derived from them judged by the results. The homely adae that t'ne proof of the pudding is the chewing of the bag" is the most primitive illustration of this. What will result when this test is ap- plied tp tuo theories ana principles which lhe list party is said to 06 Dased- Fortunately they have been put into practice in a limited degree, and an pbjectlesson has been fuis uished to the people by Populism in power. In every State in which the Populist have gained control of the powers of governrnent there have j been tumults, unrest, extranagance, corruption, and hatred has been ens gendered between neighbors. In Ivans33. where the ropulistsc adrsin - istration was ushered iuto power amid the g earn of bayonets, and broujht the State to the verge of civil war, we hear open charges ofj gross extravagar.ee in th expcndU, ture of the public moneys, and of collusion with the open violators of e prohibitory laws These charges are made bv no less personages than TOBACCO .lOBDERS BY MAIL RECEIVE PROMPT ATTENTION. Mrs. Lease and exCongressman Clover, the former once a shining Fopulistic light, and the latter the founder of Populism in Kansas. In Colorado the administration, through its Governor, made a laughingstock of Uip State by blustering threats of revolution if certain tenets of Popu. hsm were not enacted into law, and the extremely radical utterances of the leading members of the State ad ministration have contributed to the withdrawal of capital invested in benficial industrial works in that State and ig keeping away more that was seeking investment, but that was frighttned away by fear of confisca tion. The ill effects that have befalN en Colorado from a business point of view, because of the wild and vision nary vaporing of its Popolislic rul er", have been set forth by Senator II. M.-TeUsr, a Republican Senator who is not in accord with his party onJ,be financial question, but who sees the fallacy of the wild Populist schemes, The condition pfOragon js an ill ustration of the unwisdom of going from one extreme to another. Ore gon's Populist Governor was a dus plicate of that of Colorado in intern perate bluster and advocacy of fools i8h legislation. Disgusted with, the results of "applied Populism," the people of Oregon tutned down the Populists and embraced ihe equally bnsoond principles of Republicanism. These are the results of "applied Pouulisoi" proper. These are things they have already done in the few States in whch they haye obtained control of the goyer nment. Here are some things that they ptopose to do if they should obtain a more nearly perfect lease of pawer. being a list of bills introduced iD Congress by populist Senators and Republicans, which they wish to have enacted into law. The space is too brief to refere to all the measures. House Bill 3186, introduced by Mr. Hudson, Populist of Kansas, provided : "That all pensioners, for service in the Federal army and navy during the war may receive in one payment ten times the annual amount of their pension." This would cost the Government this year one billion and five hundred millions of dollars. Where would this money have gone? None would have come to North Carolina" House Bill 3436. by Mr. Davis, Populist from Kansas, provided : "Thatthe mortgage debt of any mortgagor of real estate, used as a home or for support, shall be paid by the United States where an aps prisement board finds the estate to be worth the full amount of the mortgas ge, and the debtor shall be allowed to redeem his property from the United States within twenty years by paying an interest of one per cent, per annum. It is estimated that this would have enabled psrsons lo get more than $12,000,000,000, or more than the entire amount in circulation in the whole world, of the United States for twenty years. The Government therefore wojid be bankrupt before it had loaned all of it. This loan would apply equally to the cities, and the owners of. pro perty there would be imformed more quickly pf its passage, and having the advantage of being near to the seat of Government, and being able more quickly to concentrate their farces, would break the Government before the farmers could be benefited House Bill 3437, by Mr. ! avis. Populist from Kansas, provided fo Granting a pension of from $10 to $25 per month to all oldieps or sailors of the Union armband navy jin the Sate war, arid apo to wi ors I and minors, this to be in addition to the disability pensions granted nnder present laws." Tb s wou'd take $310,000,000 more . the N a: ioial Treasury as esti-J , . r by the Commissioner of Pens r:i -r-r k,. t. out of the mated sions. House Bill 6767, by Mr. Davis Populiat from Kansas, prcvides "for : "The immediate enlistment -of 500 000 men. to be fed. clothed, paid, and provided for the same as the re gular army, said army to be employ ed on work forpublio improvement, canals, rivers and harbera, irrigation works, public highways, etc." The present army of 25,000 men : cost $23,700,000; the proposed army, being twenty tiojea larger, would cost $474 000,000. Uouse Bill, 7903, by Mr. Boen, Populist from Minnesota, provides for the issue of one billion dollars in legal tender notes, of which five hundred millions ia to -be expended in five years in building or purchas ing railroads, two hundred and fifty millions in improulng rivers, and not less than two hundred and fifty millions in building post-offices in "each village or city containing more than 1,000 inhabltauts." House Bill 5745, by Mr. Boen, Populist from Minnesota, proposes to begin the dhtrnction sf the sal soli kal tragus, wherever found on public or private property, and his bill appropriates one million dollars for that pu'pose. These are only a few of the bills introduced by the Popu'ists in Congress, and none of them are of any more benefit to the farmers of North Carolina than those mentioned. Without duplicating the amounts carried in the bills quoted where their moJesor purposes are similar, the following recapitulation will show the sum total of appropriations re quired to meet the bills named: Representative Davis's- - bill (No. 3436) provid ing for tho loan to cer tain mortgage debtors - is estimated to require not less than the sum of , :.' $10,000,000,000 Representative Clover's billl (No! 6254) to loan to tatea etc., 50 per cent, of assessed valu ation of property is es. timated to require ex ceeding" ...... 12,000,000,000 Representative Clover's bill (No. 3999) is vari ously estimated to re quire the sum . of from $8,000,000,000, to $15,- 000,000.000. say 10,000,000,000 Senator Peffer's bill (No. 976) to loan not exceed ing $2,500 to any indi vidual applying having . r.eal estate security, pro vides for an immediate issue of not les3 than $700,000,000, and an ul timate Issue of much morei"being similar in principle to House bill 3436 above quoted. Representative Kem's bill (No. 5440), where not included in previous es timates, would require an issue of not less than 1,000,000,000 Representative Watson's various bills are not es timated, being included in their principles in pre vious estimates.

On July 9. 1894, ' Senator Peffer submitted a resolution, of which the following is copy "In view of existing social and business conditions, nnd by way of suggesting subjects for remedial leg islation, be it "Resolved by Vie Senute of the United Stales, Firt. Thar all public functions ought to h exercised by and through public agencies. "Second. That all railroads cm ployed in interstate commerce ought to be brought into one organization under control and supervision of pub lie officers; that charges for transpor talion of persons and property ought to be uniform throughout the coun try; that wages of employees ought ro be regulated by law and paid promptly in money. Third, That all coal beds ought to be owned and worked Dy lhe Stales or by tho Federal Goyeriis ment, and the wages of all persons who work in the mi nes ought to be provided by law and paid in moaey when due. "Fourth. That a'l money 'used by the people ought to be supplied only by the Government of the United States; that the rate of interest ought to be uniform in all the States, nt exceeding the net average increase of the permanent wealth of tho peos pie. "Fifth. That all revenues of the Government ought to be raised by taxes on real estaV."- To carry out the provisions of this resolution would require, at a" very moderate estimate, some fifteen bilN ions of dollars, making the total pro posed expenditures upward of fifty billions of dollars, or moru than five times as mace as the total supply of money ia the world. And it will be seen by the twu bills last cited that the whole burden of the Government is to be laid on real-estate. Can jt be that the farmers of this State or of the Union will listen to such a party of lend it their support! Their plan of relieving a distressed couutry reminds us of the famous cau which found itself in the botton of a well, and in undertaking to get out jumped up one foot every duy and fell back six every night. From the first this party has claim ed to be in favor of the free coinage sf silver. It will be well to examine their record in Congress on this question. On Match 24, 1892, the House voted on a bill . fur the free coinage of silver. Ou motion of Air. Burrows (Rep,) to 'ay the bill on the table there was a tie vote. '.The Speaker (Mr.Cmp, Dem ) voted nay, and the motion to table was lo3t. A gold standard man moved to reconv sider this vole; the motion wa lost by one vote. Ti.e motion wa vole I on and carri d by two voles AP of the Democrats south of the Oh o River oted for the bill. The only New Yrk or New England m;in who voted with them was Mr. Ti.ckwell. He had been fairly elected, be had been a brave soldier in a white regis rnent during the war, his vote a absolutely nece-sary for vhe success of silver it another bi'l on the finan cial question should be promised. Nevertheless. Messrs. Baker, Clover. Davis, Harvorsen, Ifem.NOtis. Simp son, Watson, and Winn, aliPopulisu deserted the cause of silver and vo-cd with the Republicans in ilvee yea and votes (see Record, p.iges 3 "'., 3530 and 3541) ami succeeded in u?.- j seating Mr. Rockwell, Ue fne d of t been fairly ei-ctttl.

' On August 28 1893 ( Record.' p&go 1001). on a vote for free aad unlimi ted coinage at a ratio of 47 to JL, three PopulUts. Farmers' Allianca or third u party, men, votea wttti ill Republic cons and against 83 Democrats, and defeated the fe ll, and Messrs. Bakec. Boen, Cannon of Califouia; Davis, Hudson, eai. Pence and Simpson, all Populists, sat in their seats and refused to vote. " Ou the vote for free and unlimited coinage of silver at 18 to 1 (Record, August 23. 1893, page 1003 and 1006) four Populists voted with 1 10 Republicans and agninrt 88 Demo crau, and defeated the bill; Messrs, Baker, Buan, Davis, Hudson. Peace and Simpson, IJ Populists, sat iu their se .ts and refused to vote. On the vote far flee .coinage of silver at 19 to 1 tlm vte and action ofall Third party men, except BIr. Cannon of Califouia, was the same as it was oa the vote for free coinage at J7 to 11 (See Reoordj.

O . the vote for free coinage of sit er atJl to 15 Mr. Newlands, of Ne vada, Populist, declined to vote,. (See ' Record, August 23, 1893. p-sges 1006 and 1007). " Can they be honestly in favor of silver, .as m ney, or do they' only wish to pose: m its friends 'unJ aid in it&defeut at :tUs sarn time It seems that they will vote only for such measures friendly for sil ver; a they are certain will be ioit. and ia that way be enabled to continue their cry for more silver and to pose as the advocates of mora money. On Juno 6. 1894, every Populist member of the House voted with the Republican? against the bl to res penl the ten per cent, tax th& issbes Of State bauks. , t This bill was of special value to' the South. It would have enabled them to have had a, safe, fllexiable and abundant currency, and to have been independent of tho cities and ' money markets in handling their crops. Every vote for the bill. 102, was given by Democrats, luclnding . very Democrat from the South. The Populists have criticised and abused the democrats for not pas ing a tariff bill sooner than they did, but they have teen divided In their position on the tariff. Some of them joined the Republicans in delaying such a bill at every opportunity, not withstanding tho tact that the bjli gives free farming implements, free . salt, free cotton bagging and ties, free binding twine, and reduces the taxes on lin plates, woolen clothing, trace chains, and numerous other ar tides which farmers need and bay for everyday use; and two of the.. Populists 'Senators voted against measures of relief to the farmers. The Record, shows (pttgts 537 tQ 570, that on January 5, 6, 7 and 3, 1894, the 'Populists joined the Re publicans, and all refused to vole ot a motion to tak.c up a bill to reduce tariff taxatiou and reduce the hardens, of the pop!e.
