Any Southern white man who can
vote for Gen. Weaver for President
is not very hard to satisfy in fact,
the devil appears to be far more re
spectable than Weaver is. The
Third party convention at Omaha,
which nominated Weaver for the
presidency, left out of its platform
the plank to pay the Union soldier
the difference in gold and the money
he was paid in, but nominated
Weaver, the acknowledged daddy of
this scheme. So what is the differ
ence? The man is just the same as
the plank, and a little samer; the,
only difference is he is worse. The
Washington correspondent of the
llichmond Dispafch .has been loo
iug up some of Gen. Weaver's re
marks on the South, the Southern
peoul uud the time-honored Demo
cratic party. Here are only a few
of such utterances :
"First he was a South-cursing,
'rebel-damning' Republican, then a
Greenbacker, then a Knight of La
bor, then a Democrat, then an Alii
anceman, and now a Third-party
ite.
While he was still a Republican
he used the following choice and
elegant expressions in regard 'o the
Democratic party :
" 'We know that its acts comprise
murder, treason, theft, arson, fraud,
perjury, and all crimes possible for
an organization to connive at
This was in a speech at Bloom-
! field, September :iith, 1SC9.
j " 'Xo Republican can ever under
J any circumstances have any part or
! lot with the hungry, rebellious,
man-hating, womm-sellini: gang
corporated under the name of Dem
ocracy a name so full of stench and
poison that it should be blotted from
the vocabulary of civilized man and
handed over to the barbarism that
it so fitly now and in all the past
has represented.' Speech at Look
out, September v'S, 19T1.
"But, then, what could you
expect from the poor, blind, diseased,
decrepit, dismal, damned obj Demo
cratic party 'f Speech at Stiles,
September 11, 1ST15.
"These and other similar extracts
from his speeches were read in his
hearing on the floor of the House of
Representatives, July 10, 1S88,
when he declared as follows: 'I
have nothing to take back with re
gard to any course.' "
This is the man that Southern
men are asked to vote for. The
devil is decidedly preferable to
Weaver.
THE I'noilK.AI. SO"
l i'iru Thursday's D.:i'y.
The lecture delivered by Mr. Ale
Kessou last night in the Courthouse
was entertaining and instructive.
It is to be regrettid that the audi
ence did not contain a larger sprink
ling of men. The lecture was iu
tendid to show up a class of men
found all ovir the land noted for
their devotion to the externals of
morality ai.d rePgion on Sunday,
but not given to the practice of
righteousness in their every day-
life.
The Parable o the Prodigal Sou
was the text selu Ud for the remarks
of the speaker, l.e did not follow
the path in beat' n his intrepreta-
1 tion of the J arable. Instead of
of holding uj the younger son as
the "hard case,'' he louud in the
conduct of the elder everything to
condemn and nothing to commend.
He believed that the eldei sou was a
mean fellow :io mean to go to the
devil unless 6ome one paid the ex
penses." He thought that this ftU
low canied a loaded gun for all fes
tivities and social gaieties of the
young, yet lent money at 4 per cent, a
mouth, and had a mortgage on ev
iry bobtail yearling in all the coun
try; talked about sinners with aheap
of solemn chat, but never dropped
a nick le in the missionary box; had
a soul that he wound up soon
on Sunday morniLg, but let it run
down soon after services on Sunday
night; was hand in glove with the
world check by jowal with religion,
a sort of a Baalavi type cf fool
wanted Gods favor and Balak'a
gold.
The speaker pictured the younger
son the much better man of the
two. lie believed him to be a young
man of noble aspiration and exalted
purpose. He left his home to make
for himself an honored name among
men, but lit fell into bad company
and was damaged by evil associas
tion. He sank very low, and it was
some time before he came to realize
his degraded condition, but when
he did, he picked himself up out of
the dirt, and went to his .Father.
Strong in faith and hope and cour
age he strove to regain his manhood
aud to get God on his side. The
speaker urged tht necessity of exs
tending sympathy to the type of
men represented by the Prodigal. It
ii the duty of the Christian to take
by the band a fallen brother and
give encouragement to all honest
effort to overcome evil habits.
CONCOllD.N. C. THURSDAY. JULY, 2S 1S92
tri e to rnixciPLi:.
When the Bland silyer bill wa3
defeated in the House in June
there were 24 democrats who voted
against it, but on Wednesday July
13th there were 94 democrats who
voted against it. This shows tnat
when the democrats meet in con
vention and adopt a platform they
mean to stand by it. They are in
favor of the free coinage of gold
and silver but they want a silver
dollar to be the equal of a gold dol
lar. Xo American citizen should
want his government to stamp a lie
on its money, "and the government
that does will soon lose its character
for truth, and then all credit will
be gone. When the stamp of the
American government goes on a
piece of money let it stamp tha truth
upon it. State Chronicle
To this is appended a clipping
from the Baltimore Sun.
A correspondent asks for "a corns
monsense every day school-boy ex
planation of the "silver question."
The "silver question" at present is
whether the mints of the United
States shall coin silver dollars weigh
ing 4121 grains as freely as they
coin gold money. Any owner of
gold bullion can take it to the ;mint
and have it coined into gold twenty,
ten, five, two and a half dollar gold
pieces at his option, and to any
amount. The same "freedom" is
sought by the silver men for the
holders of silver bullion. The ob
jection made to this free coinage of
silver is that 412 J grains of silver are
not now worth 25.8 grains of gold
as they once were. In other words,
the quantity of silver it is proposed
to put in the silver dollar whose
coinage i3 to be free is not now
worth 100 cents, but is worth only
Co cents. All free coinage bills
make the silver dollar of 41 2 i
graina legal tender for debts of 100
cents an obviously unjust thing to
do. If free coinace, as advocated in
Congress, meant putting 100 cents'
worth of silver over 150 grains in
a dollar, nobody could object to it,
but there is a decided objection to
making C'l cents' worth of silver
pass for 100 cents. The silver men
insist on the free coinage of the light
.lollar.
In view of the above facts, is not
the free coinage plank in the Xat:on-
al Democratic Platform, a sound
one? There are more thau sixtv
millions of people in the United
States and of that number very few
have silver bullion for coinage pur
noses. The most natural, human
thing for the silver man to do is to
iusist on the free coinage of the
light dollar. Why? Because he
would thereby gain thirty four
cents in every dollar, or thirtyfour
dollars iu every hundred dollars.
How much has the South to coin ?
This would give the silver men a
monopoly, and enrich the few
Democratic doctrine is equal justice
to all, special favors to none. Will
the reader, please, think upon this
subject a little. Ought not a silyer
dollar be eqnal in value to a gold
dollar?

THE WOltSr OF ALL MI.AVI1KT.
There has probably never been a
time when people did as little think
ing for themselves as at the present.
There is a great multitude of voters
in this country who are striving to
bring about certain reform1? which
they think will benefit them if
they succeed in having their ideas
put into laws. They rightly con,
sider this a great movement ; but
they do not stop to consider how
great the movement is, or how mo
mentous the question they are tink
ering with are to the American peo
ple. In this, as in all other things,
leaders point out the way, and their
followers fellow with a will that is
submissiveness itself, and is striking
ly pathetic. It is the most abject,
the most humiliating spectacle in
all the annals of human slavery. It
is a voluntary slavery to self-consti
tuted masters who pay nothing for
their subjects, but who are rewarded
for their tyrannical rule and op
pression by all the fees and sub
scriptions that their poor subjects
can scrape up; and in addition to
all of this they surrender to the
ruling tyrants that highest right of
citizenship, their votes, which are
cast for whoever the masters put up.
The horrors of this servitude are
Been still further when the master
says : "This paper shalt thou read,
and woe unto thee if thou dost not
unfalteringly belie v'e it and obey its
commands ; that paper thou shalt
despise, because it is not "refaum,"
and enrsed art thou to read it, and
if its admonitions are heeded thy
farm, thy ox and thy ass shall be
taken from thee." The poor far-.
mer sits down in his humble home
and knows not what he will next
be called upon to do for his masters,
and has but one atswer which he is
taught to make to all argument and
that is : "You need not tell me any
thing from a Democratic paper, but
give me something from the reform
press."
Such law, such miserable slavery
never existed before, and it doe3
seem that the men v ho first saw the
light and have spent their life in
grand old North Carolina, would
throw off the yoke of bondage which
they have willingly put on and have
been wearing with a zal that gives
devotion of subjects a new meaning.

The platform adopted at Omaha
is almost the same as that adopted
at St Louis, much of it in the same
words. The most notable differ
ence is tke omisBion of the demand
to pay the Union soldiers. But
this was probably omitted because
the nomination of Gen. Weaver was
itself an endorsement of that de
mand, he having three times intro
duced into Congress a bill to pay
Union soldiers the difference be

were paid and its value iu gold
Yes, Gen. Weaver introduced into
the Forty sixth, the Forty-ninth and
the Fiftieth Congress the following
bill:
"Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of representatives of the
United States of America in Con
gress assembled. That there shall
be paid to each private soldier, nous
commissioned officer, sailor, team
ster or musician regularly muster
ed into the service of the United
States during the late war for the
suppression of the rebellion, or to
his or their legal representatives in
case of death, as soon as his or their
claim shall be examined and audi
ted by the Second Auditor of the
Treasury, the sum found due him or
them, the amount thereof to be as
certained as follows: The Second
Auditor shall ascertain the amount
of currency paid .said soldier or
sailor at each date of payment dur
ing his term' of office, and shall as
certain the gold value of said cur
rency payment at the time, by refer
ence to the quotations of gold, as
compared with the currency in
which said soldier or sailor wa3
paid, at the city of New York at
that date; and said soldier, sailor, or
his legal representatives shall be al
lowed and paid the difference in
value between the currency which he
received and the standard gold coin
of the Uuited States in which he
should have been paid."

Too Menu to Live.
The galoot who has a key to this
office and came up last night and
pied the cases, is watched. It was a
mean, dirty nnder-handed trick and
there is not a particle of honest prin
ciple in the composition of the pers
petrator. He is a lit subject for
the chain gang or the penitentiary.
Webster has not words sufficient to
express our contempt for the lousy
sneak who would do such a thing.
Ktrantre Actions ofa Itook.
Mr. J. Ii. Biggers, of Bost's Mill,
was in the city Thursday, and told
the reporter of the strange actions of
a rock in a field on his father's
farm. He and his brother Will were
hoeing cotton and were near the end
of the row, when they were attracted
by the rock moving from its bed iu
the road. The rock rolled over on
its top sida, without any visible
cause. Thev afterward eia m in fid
the rock and could see no cause
whatever for its moving. The rock
will weigh about twenty-five
pounds.
A DlMtiiitiltiMl Preacher lc

barrus lonuly.
Every body has heard of Prof. E.
O. Excel, the celebrated musician
who travels with Sam Jones, the
evangelist, and has charge of the
music of his meetings. The wide
popularity and notoriety of this man
mcessarily makes his family record
interesting, and the people of Ca
barrus county will be glad to know
that the father of this distinguish
ed gentleman is now a resident of
their county. He is a German Re
forired minister, and will preach at
Bear Creek and Lower Stone church-.
es in Rowan county. The reporter
could not learn the initials of Mr.
Excel 1 .
MK. WHITE IS KICHINU.
Il Snyn He Did Jfot Hny He Wan Sol
Afraid of fro Supremacy.
J B White, the Godly, the Baintly,
the devout monarch of White Hall,
who was re-elected president of the
county Alliance, who tries ardously
to impress , his honesty and purity
upon an alreadytired and thorough
ly disgusted community, came in to
inform the Standard's reporter
that he had been maliciously mis
represented in saying he was not
afraid of negro rule in his speeoh at
Iiocky llidge on last Thursday, the
ltth inst His intimation wat
that the reporter had put down the
wrong thing to his credit. When
asked what he did say on that occas
sion he said: "I did say that I had
talked with a man from one of the
lower counties, where the negroes
have a majority, who said that he
was tired of hearing that; that they
had been scams him about it for
twentv-6ve years." Now, what in
the name of sense and reason did he
mean by this illustration, if it wac
not that he was not afraid of negro
rule? Where is the application?
Does he know?
Yesterday morning he stopped his
paper (which is perfectly satisfactory
to us, but in keeping with the ac
tions of a man of his stripe) giving
as his reason for doing so that he
did not want to pay for such trash.
A genteman who was present
when White made the statement at
Iiocky Ridge, was shown a paper
with White's speech in, and asked if
he remembered what he did say.
He replied: "He said exactly what
you say in that paper he said. I
don't know just how much of it he
meant, or how much he didn't
mean ; it is hard to tell, but
he said it."
Mr. White had as well try to get
out of it sonie.other way,because the
little game he has started won't
work at all. Truth sometimes
hurts, but the shoe fits too well this
time to be thrown aside; so just let
it pinch, bud.
