Ir white men of North Caro
will just stop and think
for one moment, callmv, unpreju
diced, ami with a realization of the
gnat isfuca confronting us, they
will see the folly of voting the Third
party ticket, and the danger in not
rallying to the support of the le
raocracy.
Thkkr is not one eiugle hope of
carrying North Carolina for the
Third party, but there is serious
danger of the State being thrown
into the Republican hands. The
West wiil not be effected by this
new party any more this year than
it has been in many years past, for
this reason : the West has had
Third parties every year for a quar
ter of a century, and this year is
only a repetition of former years.
They failed to vote for (leueral
Weaver once before and they will
refuse to vote for him ia next No
vember. But to return to North
Carolina. The .Republican party in
his State is as strong as it has been
any time tiace it was thrown out of
power, and can marshall their hosts
for the victorious march to the bal
lot-box in lees tnan a fortnight.
Yi, the Third party will draw
its strength from, and cripple only,
the Democratic party, which meats
an easy ride into power for the lies
publicans. Men, let's don't give
the electoral vote of grand old
North Carolina to the little, nar
rowminded, dwarf-hearted lleaia
min Harrison! Ana to not make
this fatal mistake will require some
of the l.'xtofore Democrats quit
ting tl.i-ir fumigating" around on
GrO'cr Cleveland. You hear ?!
The Progressive Farmer says:
Another pei .5:0:1 appropriation bill
passed the Senate Inst week.. It will
increase the pension outlay to $200.
(JOCCO per annum, or about 3.o5
per crpit:;. Hut now don't say that
the Democrats would do differently,
for th-ir record is agah.st that state
ment. The leader of the party is a
per -on grabber O rover Cleveland
is IU i:.e."
The two last Sentences of which
- In 5: f.nterrified IXmccracy, in
iv.r.ny -oi tioi t cf the Stat, has held
routing Cleveland ratification meet
ings which have had the effect cf
putting new life info the party.
Why should Concord be behind in
this great move? Why not show
w hich side of thy fence we are on?
b'0!"TH!.!;x people had better vote
for liberty ;ir.d white supremacy
than to vote in anyway that will
help the Republican party, because
that party is neither friendly to
our liberty nor determined on white
supremacy intfact it would freelv
make the negro monarch of all he
mm.
The Republicans of Yadkin held
a big ratifycation meeting last Mon
day, and in a speech that day State
Senator Stanford said he "hoped to
Cod he would live to see the force
bill a law and enforced in all Arner
ica."
Tins i? exactly straight good.
We know a Republican, of the
deepest dye, in this county uttering
the identical words that Stanford
nttered h-st Monday. White men
of North Carolina, Democrats of
North Carolina, don't you sea how
the Republicans are pleased at your
split up?
Tiif.i.e is not a man in this coun
ty, who has been voting the Demo
crtic ticket, that would vote the
Thir) party ticket if they could on
ly believe that it is a sharp Repub
lican trick to bust up the solid
South. If those men would only
3tudy the situation carefully and
without pn-jiidice they would soon
observe that the Third party ha3 no
other n.istioi', and that will be the
only thing it will ever accomplish,
if that.
Evkky Democrat should read
that patriotic letter in another col
umn of Congressman id. P.. Alex
ander. He fiijs he is going to stand
by the Democratic party, the ouly
hope of the South. Tie- South
needs ju;t sroh stoi.ly, hoiavt men
as Capt. Akxauder to sp-ak cut
when his voice and services ate need,
ed. He is a true Democrat, a true
Southerner, and a true Allianceman
and loves his order too much to be a
party to drag it down into the dis
graceful slums of politics. He is
right.
now x n il. 1. tii;niK?
Every few week the daily papers
give accounts of t-ouie minister cf
the gospel preaching a very able and
comprehensive sermon on the Kci
nrref riivi. Thtv seem to be able to
march up their hosts in regular or
der, and to know the sentence of
each one as it is ushered into its tin U
hom
Rrr, let it be known, they don't
know ere continental thing about
the resurrection. And when tiny
spend their valuable time in preach
ing such things they are oil tiie
track as much f o as r, preacher who
lets his religion get so low that lie
studies cut and preaches a long.abje
sermon on the proposition that
there is a Cod.
"How shall we ris?" Physiolo
gists tell us that our bodies are con
stantly undergoing a change, and
this change- is so rapi'J that a man
who lives to the age of forty or iif
ty years has as many as a half doz
en or dozen bodies. The flesh
wastes away and returns to earth, or
"dust unto dust" and is taken up
into vegetable matter, passes into
some other body, (as apt to be a
mule or a horse a3 a human) and so
continues through the change that
it made once before. The man who
is now thirty years old has, perhaps,
parts of half-asdoz?n bodies that,
have been dead for years. How can
these mixed-up bodies risr is a
question that should be explained
by these returrection preachers, if
they mcst preach on the resurrec
tion. Foil the benefit of a certain "re
faum" paper in this State and tor
ti e consideration of a large number
of our farmer f rionds who read it,
the same having said that Ci rover
Cleveland was not only a "pensiou
grabber" but a backer of the Force
bill gang, we reproduce an extract
from a speech deliverel by (J rover
Cleveland at Philadelphia, on the
8th of January, IS'.'l :
'When we see our political actver
suies bent upon the passage of a
federal law, with the scarcely denied
purpose of perpetuating partisan
supremacy, which invades the states
with election machinery designed to
promote federal interference with
the rights cf the people of the local
ities concerned, discrediting their
honesty and fairness and justly
arousing their jealousy of centralized
power, we will stubbornly resist such
a dangerous and revolutionary
schemeiu obedier.ce.to our pledges for
the support of the state governments
ia all their rights."
Every Southern voter should
consider wisely before he casts his
vote. There are many things in
this campaign to think of and weigh
carefully. Rut above them all the
force bill towers like a mountain
above the plain. This audacious
scheme to perpetuate the existenc
of the Republican partv, and to hu
miliate the Southern white man by
forcing him to vote under a bayonet
i3 determined upon by the Republi
can party, and if they again get in
power thev will again renew their
atenmt to have it enacted into a
law. It is a menace to the peace
and welfare of our Republic and
combines in itself the fatalities of
despotism, centralization and an
archy. Will there, then, be a South
ern voter so unwise as to cast his
vote so it will directly or indirectly
assist the Republican party to fasten
this galling yoke on their necks
without the possibility of the dawn
ing of a hope of repealing it.
The story of Republican rule is
one long chain of blackness and
crime wherever taken. Let thepeo
pie rally to the Democratic party,
the grand old party of honesty, and
show the Bhamef u 1 old wreck that
hor race is run.
i n eke are papers in this country
even in grand old North Carolina
that tell the people that the force
bill will never become a law and it
is only a scare to keep the two old
parties together. The people will
learn some day that those papers
are traitors to th.ir own people, and
the editors of them will sink so ig
nominiously low that the devil him
self will refuse to associate with
them.
The Third party has started
move to raise a campaign fund, by
taking up collections from the mem
bers throughout the country. It is
hi-.r.lly probable that the people
will be willingly gulled inthisrtan
ner by boodle sharks. One of these
collections would remind one of the
way a slieriH dispersed a moo on one
occasion. Seveal hundred masked
men ga'.hered at the jail to lynch a
prisoner, and the sheriff, finding
himself powerless to protect him,
began taking up a collection for the
benefit of the wife and children of
the doomed wretch, whereupon evs
ery man in the mob, except one,
left, and that cue expressed to the
sheriff his inability to carry out their
original undertaking.

From a teleg.in v Licii we recei
ved am! published Tuesday evening
it is 1 arn.d that tlrj H .teh bill will,
in all probability. pu?g the Senate
and Uct'ine a l.iw. Th'n bill is
greafly defiled by the "reformers"
and it is elaimed that it will raise
thepri.e of ngrial u-al products?
by prec".tii!gamii!ing on the suae
There is r.oiucstion t h.V- the mor

h the ephros: of mo.-t'fc-i1 cotlo.i
bi'.yc; tk,t this- bill, should it be
c.v.ne a law, will ih moralize the
American cotton market by destroys
ing the uniform' ty of piice and the
demand for the product. The real
meaning of the Jaw is, that a man
shall not sell what !,e his not. Cot
ton buyers very often sell what THEY
have not, in this way: They receive
an order for a thousand bales cf cot
oa a nd have not more than ten bales
on hand; they sell one thousand bales
at a stipulated prLv, and proa e J t
buy one thousand bales as rapidly is
possible to meet their obligations. It
cau be readily sen that this crt-atts
a demand for cotton and makes a
lively bidding in the maiket.
But it is the belief of many that
it will aid the producer in getting a
better price for his products, and
we hope they are right about it.
The farmers as a general thing
taut it and they should be allow
ed to try it if they want to.

Everything is very piia at Home

the I'inkertons seem to have been
"done up" pietty badly. To give an
idea of the character of the men of
the i'inkcrton agency a few remarks
that one of them made to Srperin
tendent Cowan of the I'ennsh vania

my duty. It is a matter of public
information. Some of your men

an was informed that arrangements
had been made with the railroad com
pany for the removal of the injured
men to their homts to night. After
leaving the huspitil the men were
accosted by a reporter and asked if
they were connected with the Pink
erLo'i agency. "What is that of
yoar g-d-b.isiness," said one of the
men. "I simply asked the ques

reporter. "Your'eone of the el

put his hand into his hip pocket

to hold. Thede'ective replaced his

is very unjust. The Governor was

address the. Senate this morning; bat
I feel that it would not be right to
allow ibis occasion to pass without
giwng additional emphasis to what
has been said.
A few days ago the dernocatie
party after its work was done at
Chicago adjourned. Ve came back
here, and as we came to our peats
those who were able to get to -them
we wi re Tnet bv a lurtisau KYeimolC
and re.-'oltid'Mi introduced by th
Senator from Maire Mr. Hale.
taunting in its character, and in ten
ded to point out what he thought
wai a defect in the platform of tnat
convention.
It is true, sir, that at Chicago the
democratic party molvtd that the
republican policy of protection was
a robbery, a fraud, a sham, a cheat,
a delusion and a snare ; if not iu to
many words, yet such was the mean
ing we conveyed, and intended to
convey.
It istrae that tint great party
there assembled declared that the
power of this government extend. d

ministered. It ia tr.ie we held there
and hold now and here that the pro-
tection of one man in amassing
riches at the expanse of another is
an immoral, unjust, dishonest and
iniquitous system of legislation. I,
sir. am a irember of the committee
on finance, and have been ever sifce
Ih ad the honor to enter this bo ly,
and the Senator from Maine sought
to instruct ine to report what would
be the effect upon labor of a tariff
for revenue only. I am not prepar
ed to discourse upon history thi
morning, hut if he will look back
beyond the period of tiie war and
take the work published by that era
in"ntand distinguished citizen, who,
whether President or not, will live
long in the memory and affections of
the people Mr. Blaine if he will
take his work, entitled Twenty Years
in Congress, he will there see what
the condition of this country and its
lak-T was when v.v had a tariff for
r-venue only under democratic poll
er. L ihor riots were not an off-irincr
of th it policy : labor riot, battles,
blo-)d staiued fields came not from
the democratic policy on the subject
of the tariff. They have sprung
alone from the doctrine of protection
which the Seaator from Maine here
vaunts to the skies. That doctrine
has been misleading ; it has been tie-
po.-,
1"
V who laid down their lives
terday on th.1 banks of the Mononira
hela believe that you were protect
ing tlu m. Th'-re never was a grea
ter faVehood v.oiked and woven into
the legislation of the country. Th-re
is no protection for them none
whatever, auu so they have found to
their dreadful cost. You have said,
however, that the Carnegie?, the
greatest barons in the manufacturing
ink rests, must be projected against
forgeign competition, "and at the ex
peuse of the home consumer, in order
to enable them to pay high wages to
labor. Have they done it? You
have given Mr. Carnegie his 55 per
cent on iron and more than TO per
cent, on steel, and instead cf stepping
forward in the spirit of the resolu
tion offered by the Senator from
Maine and paying his workmen high
waes, he told 'hem they would have
to submit to a reduction of from li
to 40 per cent, from this time on.
Wi'h protection at its vcy acme, the
very zvnith, higher than ever known
before, the McKiuley bill glorifying
its df, the workingman i3 met with
in a few days after the resolution
of the Senator from Maine
wa3 read in his chamber by a re
duction of wnges which has at thi
hour made humble homes full of
mourning, full of sobs as I speak
and the faces of women and chil
dren wet with tears ; all this because
your protected manufacturer, in..
stead of giving wages to his men,
sought to take wages from them
1 hese workmen at Horn stead had
heard so often from the eloquent
Senator from Maine and other Sena
tors that their great object wa3 to
protect labor that they had come to
believe it. They believed that you
meant what you said when you said
you intended to protect labor. How
have you done it ? The beneficiary
of your system, Carnegie & Co., have
responded to your resolution with
the employment of I will not call
it an army, I will not call it a mili
tary body, but the employment of an
armed mob; the Piukrton men are
nothing but aa armed mob. I
think the Senator from Illinois
(Mr. Palmer) might have gone
further and spoken with just pride
of his great and manly contest with
these miscreants when Governor f
Illinois. I was a witness to it. We
live neighbors and take observation
of each other. He has stated here
what we all know, that the Pmker
ton forces are the merest mercena
ries on the earth. They are worse
than the Hessians who fought my
ancestors and yours in tl e campaign I
j in the Jerseys. They are meaner;'
they are worse ; t.iev y-re. the spawn
of this infernal sysu-n of piotect'ng
one man in getting rich by impover
ishing everybody else. The Hes
sians belonged to the elector of
Hesse Cassel, who sold them to
George III to oppress Americans.
They iiad no choice in the matter.
Here is a private corporation where
men willingly volunteer and become
members of a squad armed to go
nnd do: murder for pav. He who
rules the worlu knows that my neait
rej-.tices not in pain, not in death,
not in bloodshed; but i say here in
the fa'-.e of my soul's final responsi
bility that those men took their
lives in their hau ls, and every one
who yesterday fell was killed under
the law of self-defense as plainly
3 was ever laid down in Blackstone,
My only regret is that Carnegii had
not been at their head, instead of
skulking either on this or the other
side of the waters. We would then
have seen a lit issue formed. The
Senator from Kentucky (Mr. Car-
j lisle) suggests that Carnegie h at
his Scottish castle across tne waters.
I bilieve he is, for from there I re
member tie?ing a dispatch in which
he congratu! t'ed yv-'r mndidate for
the Presidency 01, his renomi nation.
! I remember also th it some two or
three vears a'o he came here
.nd
- -
ve a lordly banq.iet. He feasted
the alministrat.on because its policy
was so consonant wnn uie uebire.,
so in harmony with his wishes, was
fattening him to such a degree that
it rejoiced his soul ; and he called,
! as Belsbazzar cf old did,, the lord?
about him. to attend the banquet,
to boast of his gold and silver. 1
understand he admits he has an in
come of a million a year. Thnt wr.s
not enough, and cursed by that in "a
tnoiH greed that fell under the
malediction of the Saviour at every
step be took upon earth, he wan 'id
more, and would reduce tiie wages of
the poor to obtain it, pinch their
daily earnings, and these working
people, under tiie delusion that you
intended to protect, them iu their
rights, took up arms like men to
protect themselves. When brave men
expect assistance, the way to win it is
to assist themselves as far as possible.
They took up arms and fought ine
battle out instead of any protection
for them, however, every sympathy
will be extended tc what will mis
name the agent of law and o:d-r. The
Pinkerton men were not the agea's
of law and order; they were not the
agents of peace. These peepV1 there
at Homestead in thir Rule hones
may have been A-rong,Mr. President,
tbe-v may have been misguided; but
how honest and sincere tln-ir coudact
lookr! They said to the d-oafv
sber.ffs and to the sheriff himself
'We have no need of your assistance
to protect this property; not a dol
lar's worth will be banned; we will
-swt-ar in our men and give bond to
any amount that no1; one dollar's
worth shall be destroyed." Ail this
is to tneir credit, and th?y, believing
that there was something in thedoc
trine of rrotection to labor, we.-e
reaMy to protect property and also
took up arms to protect themselves,
and now there is mou ruing 'amon
them, and likewise there is mourn
ing amongst the Pinkerton men.
These things have never happened,
under a democratic administration;
never under democratic policy. I
dare to say so. I could not sit stili
and silent this morning while taunted
with a resolulion telling me, as a
member of the finance committee, to
inquire into what the effect, of a
tariff for revenue only would be upv
on labor when iueh an answer as
this comes crying as blood cries from
th i ground, against the horrible pel
icy which now curses the country.
A word or tvo more. I covered this
whole question two years ago here.
I thought to have read som- remarks
which I then made, but I will not i
detain the Senate to do S'. I chal- I
lenge any Senator on the republican
side to show in any bill on the sub
ject of the tariff, where i 1 any line,
where iu any word, where in anv
sentence, where in any section, there
is a provision protecting a laborer in
his wages? Tell me to day where
there is such a provision upon tins
subject? Where is there line that
states what the right of the laborer
i3 as between him and hi3 employer !
You say "protect the employer, and
he will protect the employee." I
say you have protected the employer
until he has waxed fat and luxiirN
ous in his ways of life; he rides
roughshod over his employees, cuts
down their wages when he sees fir
turns them away from their homes,
drives them, bunts them, strikes
them in midwinter and ia midsum
mer as he sees fit, and I challenge
this Senate to Ehow here by one
word in any tariil legislation what
protection the wage-worker has
against all this, and as much more
is the sorbid, merciless spirit of
avarice can devise, mo irotectio:.
to the employer is to go on, although
he shoots his employees to death in
their own doorways when they seek
the only ."protection that is left them,
the protection of their own exertions
Mr, President, I rejoice iu the fame
and name of the Sta.e I represent
here in part; I glory in the gnat
State of Indiantt, ith iis deniocratic
majority, which we . will repeat and
increase this full, we will go - into,
battle there with our faces to the
enemy and with stout hearts. We
have God and right on our side on
his great question of taxation slave
ry, and though, Mr. President, there
may be variances on some questions
between democrats yet the eternal
life of liberty is involved in the
question of a man's right o hw own
earnings. The world has been con
vulsed on the subject of slavery. : It
i,..-i fn rn down. I clung to the
guaranties of the Constitution with
you men of the South to the last,
and have no regrets or apologies to
make; bat the time bf.d come, the
fullness cf time, aud th slavery
which was given us by the fathers
had to pass away. Xo longer would
the moral sense of the world see one
man, whether black or white, work
for another and get nothing in. ; re
turn although the black-faced slave
- - y
got more in return, better care, beti
ter clothing, and better food by .far
than these people get from the mon
who cut down their "wages and
shoot them down for standing by
their rights. I say that the
moral sense of the world is against
your policy of protecting- men to
amass fortunes without the- breadth
of a hair's protection to the laborer
under them. J said, however, that-
I rejoiced in the great State which I
in part represent. I send to the
secretary's desk aud ask to have
read an act of the democratic legis
lature of Indiana approved March 9,
lSSn, which sbows what we do with
the Pinkerton mm when they come
t-j Indiana.
(The act provided against depu
tizing any one who has not resided
in the State continuously for twelve
months for police duty of any kind.)
We have two excellent peaiiten
tia: ics in Indiana, one on the Ohio
rivtr and the other on Lake Michi
gan, and whenever a Pinkerton man
is brought into our State to discharge
the duties ot .1 peace oflicer, to make
arrests, or in anyway 4 disturb . our
people, we have a cell, for' hini in
one of our penitentiaries. The
same cars be said of the great demo
cratic State of Xew York. Under
the auspices of the Senator from
New York (Mr. Hiii) a law has been
enacted thee making substantially
the 3ame provisions which are made
Ik the law of Indiana. Where is
there a republican Slate .which takes
care of its citizens iu that way?
There is no such law 'in the noble
State of HU' ois I might say the
republican State Illinois, -though
1 believe the Senator from Illinois
(Mr. Palmer) will resent (bat, for
he thinks it is not going to be re-
vtji.can
longer, and
am dis
posed to concur w-iik him. But we
hive protected our people by law,
aid should the Pinkertons come
trooping into Indiana as they did
into Pennsylvania,' we will put
striped clothes on them instead ' of
nniforms. I am told that thv yes
terday appeared in Pennsylvania in
the uniform of Pinker'on's guards,
detoctives, watchnin, or whatevvr
you please to c:iil them, I know not
what. Tliey had on nnifornw., Ve
will strip those uniforms from them
and put oa others of a different hue
and brand if they come to Indiana.
This much, Mr. President, I felt
that ought to be said on this oc
casion. I felt thaf it ouirht to bo
said in response to the resolution
introduced by the Senator from
Maine, and the temper and tone
in wiiich it wa: introduced, although
at the time there was such an an
swer male by the Senator from Mis
souri (Mr. Vest) that I might '-well
haye rested the whole case there.
But with this bloody field before
us. this awful scene in American
