have no showing whatt-vt'i-.
for the republicans in can
pus legislate and any bill
agreed upon by this caucus
is passed through the major
ity of the House at the direc
tion of Speaker Heed. What
has this Keedjnggressive par
ty done? The I'.lair educa
tional bill was killed "too
dead to skin", and even the
revenue on tobacco has not
been lepea led. The MoKiu
ley tariff bill has passed the
House, 'tis true, but what
does it do for the poor and
oppressed? Does it lighten
the burdens of the people?
The tariff bill passed is fa
vorable to the speculators
and money kings who are
now worth their millions, but
the secret about itallis, that
these money lord furnish
the money to buy votes with
which the President, Congress
men and Senators sue elect
ed. Then this Senate and
Congress are under lasting
obligations to enact .such
laws as will keep up the high
tariff by which these million
airs can coin money off of
the great masses of thelabor
ing people. Who made the
Vanderbilts, the Goulds, the
Tiockafellows and hundreds
of others rich, who are now
worth from one to two hun
dred millions of dollars? If
we were to say that every
merchant, farmer, etc. in Wa
tauga helped do it, we would
be hooted at by our republi
can friends. Now for the
proof. Everyman, woman,
and child in thisCounty wear
clothes, hats and shoes, and I
most of them drink coffee or
tea; while all the farmers use
iron tools such as harrrows, ;
plows, hoes, threshing ma
chines, etc. Our women use
tin-wear, table-wear, stoves,
sewing machines, etc. Now
most all of the money kings
have and are, dealing in w hat
is known as 'trusts and com
bines', which is fostered and
protected by the high pro
tective tariff that we have
heard so much talk about for
the past years. Take sugar
and coffee to illustrate.
Those money men are able
to buy, at the various cen
ters of shipment, all of these
articles that are offered for
sale, and by that means con
trol" the markets ot the U. S.,
and have agents in Europe
to look after their interests.
The result is that we now pay
25 cts. for every pound
coffee we use. Inthis ar
ticle alone, we pay from
12 to 15 cents on every lb.
we buy, to help swell this
crowd of swindlers wh are
