Capt. Hurwell was about to read
the following editorial extract from
the Times, in his speech at Paw
(.'reek last week, but as his time was
cut short he r quested its re-pubh
cation in the Times
'I he editorial tipp-uvd setcral
months ago and is as follows :
There is nothing wrong with the
quantity of money in circulation.
The wrong iain tb.3 way the money
is distributed. While a protective
tariff continues to exist for the bone
lit of the few, while millions of pen
sions are paid to Union soldiers,
while millions are wasted upon pub
lic buildings and rivers and harbors,
while numerous departments of th
government continue to increase in
response to the cry for more' pater
nal legislation, and while billions in
taxation are taken from the people
for all these purpose just no long
will inequality in the distribution of
wealth exist.

ed to run the government, fanners

tarilT, which goes into the pocket of
the favored individuals, to enrich
mauiifaetur.eg StaUs. If the
money which the farmers annually
pay for pensions tariff, and other
expenses, could be kept at home, it
would t-0051 lift all their inortages
and make agriculture prosperous. If
the amount which North Carolina
every year pay to the national gov
ernment (and which does not come
back in appropriations) could be left
in the hands of the people, it would,
be enough to clothe and educate all !
the children of the State for one
year. If the amount which North
Carolina has paid into the national
treasury for the past ten years
(which did not come back) could !-'
refunded to the State, it would be
enough to build every farmer in the
State a handsome residence-

and ecess:ve taxation which are

not the contraction of the currency.
If the currency were so increased
that a former could get double for

would continue to f.ov into the cof

August 15th, ISO?.
Editor of the lieflector: I ask a
small space to inform my Peoples'
party friends, that I cannot accept
the nomination of Senator- 1 would
have declined before uow but have
been wailing to be informed by some
ollicial information authorized by the
convention of the of July, liumor
and the newspapers, say I was nom
inated. It was a compliment un
sought and not merited, aud that by
many of old personal aud political
friends.
I can but feel thankful and grate
ful for such underserved kindness.
The complaints of the farmers and
labors, are no idle childish measures.
Year by year, the "tru&t" and corn
bins of the moneyed plutocrats les
sen the price of his labors, lessen the
price of his hard earnings that he
has to sell, aud price the necessities
he is compelled to buy for himself
and home. Daily the free homes,
are passing away
They know, for almost a gener
ation the government baa betn run
! und directed to support and protect
the rich, that whilst all wealth comes
from labor the rich is getting pret
ty much all.
I can but wonder A ith admiration
at. the patience and forbeareuce of
the farmers and laborers. Down
deep in the heart of the proud Anglo-Saxon
is an inheritance that
unerringly teaches resistance to ty.
rait-', ia obedience to Gcd. The
peop'e want reform, they demand a
cha ge.
Candor compels me to state that 1
differed with the leaders (or as some
would stiy bosses) of the party in
their rigidly procrustean methods,
wherein they appeared m: re desire
ous to add discord than to encour-
I
age harmony : bitterness and denun.
cia'ion instead of persuasive argus 1
meat to conciliate and to convince.
To a wayward brother, gentleness is
ever better than rebuke. I thought
we would so act as to first safely se
cure on r g.and old state, our cons
gross districts, and our own county
from Kepubliran rule, lloire rule
is and should be the lirst consideras
tion in political ethice. It is the
cardinal idea, which has ever perva
ded the teachings of the democratic
party.
This is not the hour for rashness
and passion. Ix.t us reason together.
The great heart of the people ever
throbs with patriotic emotions, and
should be trusted.
Put as I do not wish to write a
political homily nor trespass upon
your columns, I will close by say
ing thi.t with "charity to all and
malice to none" you will find me
now, as in the past, ever ready to
give my humble services to the
grand old party to which I have de
voted the best part of my life. For
over forty years I have voted the
Democratic ticket, and have often
made sacrifices, dictated more by
zeal than prudence. The people ot
my county have ever shown me great
respect and confidence. As a rep
resentative I tried to do my duty,
without reward or the hope of re
ward. Mr. Editor, now whilst contem-,
plating the restlessness, the distur
bances, the riotous out-breaks caus
ing bloodshed, the strikes, the boy
cotts, resisting a heartless moneyed
plutocracy, I am more than ever cons
vinced that we should return to the
teachings of Jefferson, Madison,
Monroe, Jackson, Polk, Pierce,
Buchannan, and others, who gave
this country laws and a government
which has been truthfully called
the goldau age of America.
Then, Mr. Editor, urge the people
to be on their guard ever remem
bering, that ''eternal vigilance is
the price of liberty." Pad men,
ambitious men, are found in all
parties, and for selfish greed would
corrupt purity herself. The best
way to resist and to strangle them,
is to fight within our own houses
hold. When our forefathers pene
trated the wilderness, built them
houses and daubed them with clay,
they went inside to find the cracks,
There never was a time when we
6hould be more mindful of the care-,
ful and cautious examples bequeath
ed to us. Let us imitate them (we
cannot do so by dividing our forces)
by voting for the nominees all the
way from Grover Cleveland to Con
stable. I think that is the best way
to riform. W. K. Williams.

the day the vote on free sil.er was
taken in order to keep from voting.
Not a thing was said agaiust the

men were disgusted that strict party
speeches were made at an Alliance
gathering. Shuford said if an Al

Athens, Ga., Aug. 2t'. A story
hts reached here from Madison coun
ty, telling of the sad death of the
four children of a family named
Wilson in the 6hort space of 40 min
utes, three of them from the bite of
a rattle-snake an! the other by
drowning.
The sad affair occured a few days
ago. Mrs. Wilson went to a spring
near the house for water, taking the
baby with her. She had left the
house but a short time when screams
attracted her attention and hastening
there, found two of her children
dead and the third one sick. The
little fellow, however, was able to
talk and said that they had poked
their lingers though a crack in the
tloor and a hen under the house had
bitten them.
Mrs Wilson hurried back to the
spring and there found that her lit
tle baby had crawled into the spring
and been drowned. When the
mother returned to the house he
found the little hoy a! .jj.c
time later the father returned.
Search was made and a huge rattle-,
snake was found under the house
killed.

he said. "There's that boy. there;
he can ask you questions which you
can't answer to save your life, and
these Third parly people can get

bearing on anything under the sun

they have the best of you in any

We think the letter, in yesterday's
Standard protesting against the way
in which we ladies decided and ad
vertised to raise funds to complete
the work at cemetery, too strong in
expression and not consilerate
enough of the feelings of those en
gaged in this work.
We have labored in season ami
out of season to raise the requisite
amount and coi'i.n not even by a
w rsoi.ul appeal.
As a last resort we concluded to
have a festival and concert these
have heretofore been endorsed by
every one and we regret to have
been forced to these measures, not
because of the mirth, frivolity and
fuu on such occasions, but because
we preferred a loving free will of
fering from the living to the dead.
MosPof us have tenderly loved
ones who sleep in this hallowed spot
which is now being desecrated by
cattle roaming undisturbed over
their sacred graves. Then not re
sort to some decent, honorable means
of raising the amount lacking after
thoroughly canvassing the town a
second time? God forbid that it
should be a shame or sin!
We the committee have met, and,
as our protester's heart seems so
much in this work, we gladly give
her and others who share her senti
ment a chance to raise the balance
now necessary to complete the fence.
We hope they will borne to our res
cue at once, as the work must go on.
Our subscription listswill be turned
over on application, with our prayers
that they may succeed.

The Standard v.itholds comment.
The controversy is in the hands of
parties well acquainted with the
facts. They are agned that the
cemetery reeds attention, but there
are differences of opinion as to how
the balance of the w herewithal shall
he raised. En.

Editor Standard :
I regret that some ministers con
sider that the temperance qmstion as
taken from the pulpit by politicians
and the legislators of the land.
Preachers are enjoined to "preach
the word." According to it dark
ness is a "work of the llesh, temper
ance a fruit of the Spirit and that
"no drunkard shall enter intj the
kingdom cf heaven." Tne gospel,
not political legislation, is the cure
for the drink habit. If not. why
may not legislation be employed for
restraining and removing the other
works of the flesh, to foster and de
velop to perfection the spiritual and
heavenly fruits of the Holy Spirit ?
Jesus was "manifested to destroy
the works of the devil."
