THE FRANKLIN TIMES 1 lima , , ! t A THOMAS, Editor and Proprietor. L.2C MONTHS, - $1.50 - 1.00 fPllIDAY. JPLT 28, - - - 1803. There is no disgijising the fact hai the rich moiiey lenders of the North want jirst such legislation as will suit their case, and it seems 1o be a very hard matter to con vince them that any other class of people need or deserve legislation lut themselves. And, as the Con stitution says.aceordingto Mr. Hor ace White,of the New York Eveniu g Post, everybody who is not in favor .of the shylock monetary standard ,of Europe, which will enable cred itors and money lenders to collect $1.50 for every dollar that is ow ing to them, is engaged in a pi ratical .effort to crush, degrade and rob the unfortunate rich people of the country of their little all. This is a peculiar plea to make, and it is somewhat new for this .climate; but, from Mr. Horace White's point cf view, it has this -much justification: That in Eu rope, where the single gold stand ard is fixed, the bondholders and the money lenders are the govern ing class, and have absolute con trol of affairs, whereas in this mis erable republic of ours, the reason ably prosperous people and the poor have a voice in making the laws. In Europe, the shylock? control legislation directly, and the poorer classes and paupers have no way of redressing their griev ances unless they resort .o the guillotine. Ordinarily, the American shy locks.have been able to controller islation by purchase. They have as not bought the voters, because. the lamented Jay Gould once eav ly remarked, it was easier to buy one congressman than to lay down enough money to bny a whole dis trict. The gold syndicate Las also had another advantage. Hereto fore, they have had to deal with republicans, and these they have been able to count on by reason of instinct and jmrchase. The ten dency of the republican party has always been towards centraliza tion, shylockism, toryism, and all other isms that lend legislative power to unearned wealth. But iuw poiiiicai power nas been transferred to the democratic par ty on a platform that pledges con gress to bimetallism, now that the people the common people are in a state of watchful excite ment that has not been paralleled in many years, Mr. Horace White i3 in a state of alarm. He declares that any effort to prevent the na tional bank syndicate and the gold trust from carrying out their gi gantic scheme of robbing the peo ple by destroying more than on', half of the hard money of the country in order that the other half may double in value, will be in the nature of legislation against the rich. But we think that if Mr. Horace White will look over his hand, as the phrase goes, he will find thaMie is counting on a blank card. Whoever heard of the Astors or the Vanderbilts or An thony Drexel, or any of the gen uinely rich men of the country bolstering np the efforts of the ehylocks, (who are only strong by cuuioination,) and the newspaper shysters to wreck and ruin the prosperity of the country by de stroying values and breaking down prices. It will be a very bad year for the rich when such publicists as Mr. Horace White succeed in con vincing the people of this com,. try that the men of wealth, as a class, are engaged in an effort to -force upon them the financial con ditions that have made paupers of the working people of every "country- in Europe except France, where silver as well as gold is re cognized as the money of final payment. But the way out of the whole matter is for Congress to stand squarely by the Democratic plat form, thereby recognizing both old and sver. . Do this atfd al low every tub to sit on its own bottom. SENATOR VANCE'S VIEWS HE TELLS THE ALLIANCE XIEN WHAT HE THINKS. He Will Insist ra a Substitute-for the Sherman Law, or Oppose its Repeal, . and Stand by Silver and the People to the Last. Near Black Mountain, N. C, July 19, 1893. II. v. Elliott, Esq., Secretary Mecklenburg County Alliance: Sia: I have received a copy of the resolution of Mecklenburg Al liance, adopted at a recent meet ing, urging Senators and Repre sentatives to stand by the present silver purchasing law, until some satisfactory substitute shall be adopted. . I observed this action with groat pleasure, for two reasons: In the first place, it is the exercise of one of the most valuable and legiti mate functions by which the Alli liance can be made to subserve the interest of the farmers the con centration of their whole inlinence upon the issues of the day. In view of the notorious fact of com binations among all other branch es of industry and in every form of capital, I years ago urged upon our agricultural classes the im portance of such organization as would enable them to make their vast but widely scattered and dis jointed strength felt, promptly and efficiently, in legislation. Now, the preservation of silver as a part of our currency is one of the most vital of all ihe issues which our people have been called upon to decide for half a century. The enemies of silver monev have dis played a wonderful sagacity in their tactics. Tlmno-li Br-.Ho,.o,l throughout the civilized world they have obeyed a single voice from headquarters in London. From New York the word comes down the line to all American capital and the response is immediate. What is known as the Sherman law is the only legislation on our statute books which binds us to the use of silver, and the cry i raised for its repeal under various pretences, all -equally false. Tt e banks, stock brokers,, bond-hold ers, chambers of commerce, et id oiixn gen-us, 'clamor for its reneal i and urge the calling of an extra m session of Congress to assemble during which a-ratio between the two metals was fixed by law, the nucmations m intrinsic value had never exceeded 3J- per cent., and that soon after that law wa3 with drawn great and material fluctu ations immediately began, which will doubtless continue so long as we treat one metal as of fixed and standard value and the other as a commodity. It is not neces sary to go over all J.he grounds on which my ceuvictions was found ed. I simply wish to assure you that my opinions are un changed. Recent developments which seem to have unsettled so many silver advocates and make them give way to the repeal of the Sherman law, have rather strengthened me in the determi nation to yield nothing to the mono-metalists, whose schemes I regard as absolutely selfish and unpatriotic. The "pr.nic," in dustriously advertised, is known now to have been created " bv them; and will be known here after as the l-ichTinan's panic; the explosion of the Indian bomb is already discounted as the grasp ing by the government of the profits of coining silver rupees which heretofore had been reaped by British merchants. The coin ing will go on as largely as ever, only the Indian government will pocket the 40 per cent, gain and not the merchants. England does not dare to demonetize sil ver in India, which alone makes her demonetize it at home. There is not spare gold enough in the world to replace the 900,000,000 of silver -in that country. The attempt to do so would bankrupt half of Christendom and England well knows it. TIie suggestion is pure bluff, and can only dis turb a politician who holds a very weak hand Herb is a very sensible para graph from tie MilledgeVille Chronicle : "The happiest man in the land-to-day is the successful farmer. He" eits contentedly under his own vine and fig tree, undisturbed by the maddening noise of the great city. Banks fail, railroads go into the hands of receivers, boom ing towns collapse, all business stagnates. But the wise farmer can snap his fingers at all these things. He is monarch of all he surveys cn his bread acres. And the honesty of his boys and the puri ty of his girls is guarded against temptation, and in them ho is giving the country its best man hood and womanhood. The farm er is to be envied, and if h.f is not contented with his lot, he is lacking in wisdom." HOME FOLKS. Senator Vance has published a letter upon the silver question. He remains linn in his convictions and will tight the gold bugs to the death. In standing by sil ver he is firmly convinced be i standing by the best and truest interest of ihe people. He wiii be found faithful 'even in the midst of the faithless unterri fied, unreduced, unyielding. Wil. MessMjgrr. LATEST NEWS. E. A.

Under these alarming circum stances I have listened, and mostly in vain, tor the voice of the Farm ers' Alliance sounding their opin ions and wishes of those they rep resent, composing fully one-half of the natiou; giving the feeble and vacillating among politicians to understand what they had to ex pect if they betrayed the people's cause on this great financial ques tion. -The action of your Alliance is the first official utterance on the subject I have seen in the State. It is time your order was bring ing every atom of its influence to bear. It should use every means possible to let it be known that, there is yet another and ent-rely different world in the fields and homes of toil, whose interests de mand attention as well as that combination of money dealers, stock brokers, gamblers and spec ulators who assume for themselves to constitute the "business inter ests" of the land. The effect of this prompt and united action cannot possibly be doubted. "In the next place I was glad to read the resolutions of your Alli ance because they concurred with my own serious convictions. Many years ago, after, a thorough and impartial an examination of the question as I was capable of mak ing, I came to the absolute conclu sion that the use of silver as well as gold, on equal terms, as the ba sis of our currency was best for the welfare of the people of the United States..
