No soothing strain of Mai's son Can lull its hundred eyes to sleep". Vol. VI. GOLDSBORO, K. C THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3. 1892. NO. 81 "This Argus o'er the people's rights Dth anetemal vigil keep; - HE LEADETH MB. In pastures green? Not always: some times He Who knowcth best, in kindness lead eth me L many ways where heavy shadows be Out of the sunshine warm and soft and bright Out of tlif: sunshine into da'kest ci.ht I t-fc would faint, with sorrow and aflVight, Only fr this I know he hoi Is my ha.nd ; So whether m the green or desert land I trust, although I may not under stand. And by still waters ! No, not always so. Oltimes the heavy tempests round me blow And o'er my soul the waves and bil lows go. But when the storms beat loudest and I cry Aloud for help, the Master standeth by An I whispers to my soul, " Lo, it is so"' Above the tempest wild I hear Him say Beyond this darkness lies the perfect, day In every path of thine I lead the way". So whether on the hill-tops high and lair I dwell, or in the sunless valleys where The shadows lie what matters? He is there. And m re than this, where'er the path way lead He gives to me no helpless, broken reed, But His own hand suffieitnt for mj need. So where He lead nv, I can safely go. And in the blest hereafter I shall know Why in His wisdom. He hath led me so "Whosoever Wins Will Win All." There was a declaration ca'ca lated to arrest the attention of thoughtful men which Mr. White law R :id made when the presi dential e'cction, how eo near at hand, "whosoever wins will win all." We comm.- nted upon it briefly yesterday ; but inasmuch as Senators Sherman f.nd Aidrich, Secretary Charles Foster, and Mr. Chairman Carter have thought it proper to endorse Mr. Rjid's dcla ration, we will take occasion to re mind the reader that there is much more involved in the utterance oe Mr. lieid, than he attended to plac before the pub'.ic. Yes, it the Democrats e' ct Mr. Cleveland they will "win all"'. They will secure possession of the national Hon of Representatives and ot State Legislatures enough to enable them soon afterwards to seen re possession of the United States Senate. They will win the right to remodel the McKiuley tariff, and rid the country of the burthen of indirect taxation which dow cripples all our energie8 and makes he people restless, impi tistit, sullen, aud conscious of be ing the victims of wrongs which they have nopjwer to right. They will win the right to "turn the ras cals out" of all the Federal tflices i i the land and fi-l ihtir places with honest men, whose regard for principle has been such that it has induced them for thirty years t- shut themselves out of public offi :e rather than surrender one article of the Democratic creed as a mean? of getting a place near the fi ;sh pots of Egvpt. They will,in a word, "win all." " And in like manner the Repub licans will "win all if they win the election of Mr. Harrison. They will win the right to perpetuate all the enormities of the M' Kuiley bill and to claim that the people wished them eo to do Theywill win the right to makfc''protection"tun ti.nes as odious as it now is. They wid win the tight to tax the people in every form and to throw mil lions of dollars of petition bribes into the pockets of the Northern people, thus impoverishing the Southern people and making ab senteeism as prevalent in the Sonth as it is in Ireland They will win the right t dragotm and harass the South, which wou:d suon be the richest conntry iu the world were it not for the wrongs which she suffered at the bands of the Re publican pas ty. The Repubiicans, like the Democrat!', will win both houses of Congress if they win the presidency. But above all, they will win the power and the right, as they already have the disposi tion, to enact the Force bill into a law, and to subject the Southern people to indignities greater if possible than these under which they suffered and groaned in recon struction days. They will win the right to f at every Congreesi hal district in the Union under the control of a Johnny Dayenport at the head of a gang ot I'ederal place-hunters and tax eaters to be appointed by Republican judges to fill the land with Republican har pies and cormorants. In a word, theywill win the' right to destroy the fairest fabric of government which the world baa ever seen, and place in its Btead a grand consol idated despotism governing the country from Washington and re ducing the several States to the condition of mere satrapies. "Whoever wins will win al V llich.Di8jpatch p&dren Cur for Pitcher's UastorU NOW 13 THE EXCEPTED TIME. Marion Butler-in his paper, the Clinton Caucasian, immediately after the State Democratic Conven tion, declared strongly for Elas Cair, tha nominee of that convention for Governor. Hs declared for him on vrinciple, as the embodiment of the demands of the reform movement which he (Butler) had championed. He declared for him as an Alliance man, a farmer and a Democrat, and everything seemed lovely with the Caucasian and its editor. Subsequently the,.Third party of the State called a State convention at Raleigh and organized, and over that convention, mirable dictu, Ma rion Butler presided, and in due or der presented Col. Harry Skinner, the Shylock lawyer of Pitt county, to that convention as "the next Gov ernor of North Carolina" and the convention howled itself hoarse in applause: but the enthusiasm over that candidate was short-liyed, for he committed political suicide, from their stand-point, iu their ery presence, by declaring (to his credit be it told) for white supremacy the same that Mari&n Butler claims iu theory at the mast head of his paper, but violates in practice. Swiftly following Skinner's fall rose Doctor Wyatt P. Exum, whom Marion Butler hastened to present to the convention as "the next Governor of North Carolina", and all alorg. subsequently, Marion Butler has been giving " Pat Exum, the Ripper," his support and active canvassing aid daily, all orer North Carolina, for Governor, against Elias Carr, the farmer and Christian gentleman. That these statements are true is known of all men in the State. Marion Butler, himself, will testify that The Argus has not misrepre sented him herein. Being, therefore, the mar. o intelligence that he is can he not pau3e for a moment in his mad career and behold the loath some grave cf obloquy he has dug for himself in the estimation of the people of North Carolina? That grave is yet an open grave: it will be closed on the Sth day of November: He has yet 5 days left in which to turn and flee from its yawning depths. He can yet look upon the sign in the wilderness of hi3 delu sion aud be healed : he can yet place his hand in the hand of Carr and be saved aud do good to Democ ra y aud retrieve his lost honor. Now is the excepted time: To-day you should be a man, Marion Butler, a Democrat and a patriot, and take your stand for Eiias Carr and not for Pat Exum, the Ripper." THE FREMONT RALLY. There wa3 a grand Democratic rally at Fremont Thursday at which hundreds from the surrounding neighborhood--the ladies in full force attended, and they were treated to splendid speeches, one from Mr. N. J. Rouse, of Kinston, which is spo keu of in the highest terms, and one from Mr. F. A. Daniels, of this city, who always does well. After the speaking all enjoyed a big barbecue dinner with the complimeuts of the Democracy of that thriving section and stronghold of Democracy. Public Speaking !

But not satisfied with the flow of wealth into their coffers, enormous as it was, the tariff-protected barons, through the McKinley bill, opposed by the Democrats, but enacted by the Republican party, laid a yet heavier burden upon the people under which The Republican Congress enacted do the rest.

The Ger tuansAmerican Cleveland Union Club held a great mass meeting to- night in Cooper Union, the large hall being packed with people, and nearly aa many rnoxe being nnab'e to train admitrance. En thusiasm was at a white heat throughout the proceedings, tumul tuous applause greeting Curve-land, Carl Schurz, Oswald Ottendorfer, and many leading Germ an -Amer ican citizens as tney caime upon the platform. William Steinway acted as chair man and introduced Grover Cleve- and as a "gentleman tnow T, hon ored, revered and beloved, not only n America, but the wide world over." Again the audience broke oose and shouted itself aimoBt loarse in greeting to the exvPresi ident. Mr. Cleveland was louldly ap plauded at frequent intervals dar ing his remarks. He said: "Fel- ow-ciu'z?ns When I address you as my fellow-.cit'zen3, I use the salutation common on occasions like thie, and one which ordinarily carries with it no greater meaning than the customary greeting. It seems to me, however, not amies in the presence of such an assemblage as Isee before me, to consider what it is that entitles ua to cail each other fellowcitizens. It is at once apparent that wo can only apply these words to American teilowf- citizens, prond of American insti tutions and devoted to the achieve ment of American success and greatness. They do not require that those who coine to us from other lands and becom eone people shall forget their old homes, but they do signifysuch anassignment on tneir part as leads them to contribute whatever is valuable id character they inherit in this country of their birth to the funds ot American prosperity and happincs?. If frug ality and industry are their nation al traits, these should be by them contributed to American prosperi ty, and if cheerfulness and loye cf song are their national characteris tics, these should be contributed to American happiness, inose who do these things in a true fraternal spirit and in cc-oper&tion with all others, .who love the American name, and who also regulate their political action by thoughtfulness and an anxious desire for Ameri can welfare, entitle themselves to membership in the grand asseciaj tion ot American fellow-citizens. But there is another and an all im portant meaning to be given to these words which ariees from the idea of a fair and equal communi ty of interests which they naturally suggest. If we are to be truly fel- low-eitizans, we must have not only a common purpose, out a com mon division of the bene uts arising from our associations. Our citizen ship grow3 out of our allegiance and devotion to the Government which claims.onr patriotic support; but we can hardly be accused of straining the the meaning of words when we insist that it we are be to fellows in our citizenship this fel lowship is only realized when we enjoy in an equal aud just manner the advantages of our citizenship. Whether this is our actual condi tion is at this time a subject of an xious popular inquiry. We find a political party soliciting the suf frage of our people in support of oi the doctrine that this fellowship in our citizenship is severed when the prosperity of certain interests is favored in the making and exe cution cf oar laws and is made a direct charge upon industries of those not within the circle of Gov ernment partiality. As a result ot the successful assertion of this doc trine, we find enormous unearned fortunes in the hands of a few inn dividnals, while those ; who in an unequal race patiently relyj upon personal thrift and turdy inpivid'h ual effort, are farn the rear. In equality of - fortunes furnisnes no ground-fdr discontent when due to differences in enterprise, legitimate opportunities or natural endow ment. "When, however, they are traceable to Government interfer ence in the hands of a small minor ity of our peop'e at the exi' ne Oi the remainder, nothing, but the partisan blindness of tho-e whose suffer can prevent them from challenging th's inin-'tice nd de manding the consideration uue them by virtue of their feilowrhip in American cltiz :r s'np.

Let us alvrays remember th'it ifojust conditions are not, duo to any infirmltus in the principles upon which our Government is founded. They are snffiaient Tor us in all our needs. Injustice is born of their perverdor.- We are led, therefore, directly to the c nc!u?ion that the remedy for unfair inequal ities in the distribution of the ben efits of American cit'zer.s'iip is in - the hands the voters of the land, and that iftberehas been dopar, ture from five lights which should guide the operations of our G.,v eminent, it is far .the people to de mand return to fbe channels Let me warn vou in losing, that the struggle to scev.re rectification of false methods and dislodgemeiit oi selfish advantages is not an easy one.
