They are awful bad sometimes, but they inherited some of that from their paternal ancestor and some original sin, ; and are not altogether responsible.; The stock raisers say that a, bad trait in a horse will skip over two or three generations- and crop out iu the fourth; And so, when we remember that a child has two grandmothers and two grandfathers and eight great grandparents, aud a thousand away back and has a small streak of all their blood in its veins is it a wonder theycan, behave at all. .The other even-' ing I came home and missed my nog, and nobody had seen him all the day long. I vent down to the barn and heard a whine in theabuggy honse,and there I found the dog on the floor and the cat on top Of , the buggy Some of the cbaps of the third generation were on; hand and 1 enquired very solemnly who shut the dog up in the bnggy house. The nearest explanation I got was that they saw the dog running the cat that way. "Who opened the crib door and let the cow get in and stuff herself to death?" said I. They Baid they heard a hen cackling in the crib and thought she had laid and conldent get' out, but they were sure they shut the door again. Reckond the cow must have Horned it open. "Who left the back gate open and let Molly get out? Who turned the well-rope the wrong way on the windlass? Who has been boring with my augur bit and bett it? Where is my horse shoe hammer?" When I raise a rumpus among these chaps they put on a look of innocent surprise, and remicd me of a member of the legisla ture who had his feelmes hurt, aud says: "Air.

Politics is still lively in these parts I am waiting lont a sett'e down before I join a par ty. I see that nea-ly all the alliances up north have got a plank in favor of the Conger bill. It is a hog against cotton seed aud I'm afraid the hog will whip the fight, and our cotton seed go down to ten ceuts a bushel. I 'see that Texas is against the eut treasury, but Georgia is for it. I see that Texas and Kansas are for the government taking charge of the railroads and telegraphs. I see that Macune is against Gen eral Gordon, because the gener al is against the subtreasury. I see that North Carolina and South Carolina are all tangled, up on thes9 questions, and so I shan't join the alliance until they harmonize. Mark Hardin belongs to two alliances, and he says I can join as an honorary member because I farmed for over ten years, and labored hard and sweat much, and never quit until I was superannuate i. He says that all such will be put on the retired list and will draw a pension and a - land warrant. Mark is a good friend to the nnf orunate. But I believe I will wait until the alliance settles down on a common" platform. Some of our alliances are for General Gordon, and some against him. . The county .alli ances must do as the state alli ance says.and the state alliances do as the national alliance says, and I want to know what about the cotton seed and the tariff plfnk and I want to know what counties are to have warehous es, and all that.

BOUfi. J' A Strong, Manly Prtg' niation vf y 7 j the Questions of ilie Day, - The following synopsis of the speech of Senator Vance at .Ctoldaboro will be read with peculiar pleapnre by our read ers, we' feel sure: ' V " ;f J A He besran by stating that, he waii Just from thb ' conflict' " at Washington, where", he. had been giving filSreet ' effort " to op posing the adoption of th iniquitous, tariff, bill,, and watching the legislation and endeavoring to secure such as would not be unjust-to our peo ple;' ,He complimented the people of the State on their adherence to Democratic principles and urged them that no considera tion should divert them from their steady support to the Democratic party, which was the conservatism' of their peace and safety. The safety aud welfare of the South, was iden tical with the triumph and pery manence of Democratic princi ples. THE FOBCE BILL. Sectional feeling has been revived iu the North and the force bill now Dendiner in the Senate will surely pass unless he Democrats can prevent it by dilltory motions.' The Senator then showed how offensive the. law could be made if the force bill should pass; now that Republican su pervisors would do all the reg istration of voters, connt all the ballots, give certificates of elec-; tions, and"" be" clothed "with power to call in the army and navy of the United Statt s to asjist them in suppressing elec- ions. It is to this Godless crew that we are to look for honest government and honest elections." FINANCIAL POIJCY OF BEPUBLI- That htf1 had said boldly among enemies of our section what he said to-day, that the financial policy country as ad ministered Dy ine KepuDiican party is hostile to the interest of the masses, and in the inters est of certain favored classes. Under this policy immense brtunes have been accumulate ed and trusts have sprung, up and reaped the fruit which should have uome to the honest aborer. The agricultural and aboring classes have-not held their own but . have generally followed behind. The policy led to the demon tizatiou of silver, which was accomplished in 1873, partly by fraud and partly by intention. The legislatiou- demonetizing silver was so - concealed among he mass of law s iu the Revised Statutes that' many : members of Congress did not know that they voted for, it, and President Grant afterwards stated that he did not know ihat";he had approved it. So great was and is the power of he bond-hold-. era that this . fraud has never been wip6d oukand the statue repealed. The bill to remoue- tize silver, supported by him, was recently . ' killed in the House through, the efforts of Speaker Reed, and a substitute passed which leaves the quaii. tity of silver coined in the dis cretion of the Secretary of the Treasury, who is.under ,the in fluence of .lyiews obtained in Wall street. . , THE TAEIFF. -The Senator " discussed : the tariff ! at ' considerable length, aud showed that while facto ries, etc., received benefits from the tariff, the farmer received none, and paid all the profits that the manufacturers eujoyed. The Senator illustrated the way Republican Senators from farm ing States were helping the farmers' down South. Senator Davis, of Minnesota, offered. an amendment to the tariff bill putting binding twine, made of T - . I .1 -m ,'.JA jute, etc., on me iree usi. Jy ery Democrat yoted for it and it was adopted; Vance then offered an ' amendment putting jute bagging on the free list and every Republican except one voted against it. Binding twine was used by the farmers of the west for binding wheat- bagging was used at the South. ' When the Republican Sena tors voted against his amend ment and. defeated it, he told them that their acts illustrated the difference between Demo crats and .Republicans; that Democrats voted r from princi ple and 'Republicans "played for what was in sight." THE FARMER PAS A BONUS. If every man. was" benefitted by the tariff aa much as he was . ' m L..uui.-'t.'.-;i.. taxea, no one wouiu uo wuau ed and no one injured, but that it any were benefitted by the tax It was the man who receiv- r ....... . ea it in the shape: of the in - creased price of his product, audrthe mau who bought the product was injured to that ex tent: The farmer mn$t buy the product of ; the - factories "and pay to every mill owner a bo nus,1 made - necessary by the tariff, : while no tariff made anybody pay j him any bonus upon anything whieh he raised.' ; The Senator gave many in stances of unjust discrimina tion in the tariff bill against the Sooth.

A farmer driving his cart up a long hill with a load of tur nips, the tail board fell out aud he looked back and saw that hia turnips were distributed all along down the hill. . A friend passing by asked why he didn't cuss, u which he replied that he couldn't do the subject jus tice. ' . . .; .-'; .;::',;;. THE FABMEBS HAVE TAKEN HIS ADVICE. , . The Senator stated that for years he had called the attenn tion of the farmers to the fact that every other class was or ganized; the businesi men, the railroads, the great financiers, and that it was the duty of the farmers to organize in order to resist the encroachments of the money kings. He was glad thev had taken his advice, and now according to some he was the first man that some of the members of this gieat organiza tion would slaughter." - That he had never entertain, ed any sentiment or made any speech that was not for the interest of the farmer?. That he had looked specially after their interest because they con stituted the irreat.-, majority, of hid constituents was -known by all men in the State. DEMAGOGUES TRYING TO BUIK THE ALLIAXCF. ' The Alliance should be care ful to-know their friends. Mauy dead-beats and sore heads and disappointed politicians would endeavor to join the Alliance and use. it to further their telfish ends. If a man turns farmer to get office or joins the Alliance for that purpose, watch him. Do not let him become o leader or determine the policy of the organization. "Not every one that saith Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom." HIS POSITION ON THE SUB -TREASURY BILL. He said that it gave him pleasure to state that he had been endorsed by nearly every county convention that had been held. And yet he understood that there were some good and true men who believed, or had been taught to believe, that he had been untrue to the inter ests of the farmers. For the information of that class of men he would explain his position with reference to the bill known as the Sub- Treasury bill. ? He stated that lie was asked to introduce the sub-treasury Dili, aud -consented to do so, stating at , the time to those who made the request that he could not promise to support it The bill as presented co him contained a provision that the warehouse keepers should be elected by "the people, which was contrary to" an express pro vision of the Constitution, and he struck that out and inserted in place of it a provision that they should be appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury. After investigating the bill most carefully and consulting the ablest constitutional law-. yers of the Senate, he was con vinced that the bill was uncon stitutional and that he could not support it. He at . once wrote his conclusion to Mr. Beddipg field, secretary of the State Al liance. ) That the bill had not been called up; that he had not been called upon to vote upon it; tha at this time the bill was before the committee, sud ,. that he might have refiaiued from ex pressipg an opinion upon it but that was not his way of do ing business, and he had no des sire to conceal his opinion when formed from his people. That afterwards, learning that his letter to Mr. Beddingfield had not been made public, and receiving information that num bers of the Alliance men were under the impression that he was in favor of the bill, desir ing that, there should be "no mistake as to his position, he wrote the letter addressed "to President Carr, in which he stated his views in reference to the, bill. I , v : f It has been charged and the charge has gone out among the people that he had made the SEPT 25, 1890 . change whereby warehouse f keepers were- to be appointed instead of elected for the pur- tpose of rendering1 the measure unpopular. His reply to this was I that it was not the .truth and the, whole tenor of his . public life was a contradiction of the charge.- ', hh --jh ": - That he believed the bill was unconstitutional ; because there ia no express power given in the constitution to the govs ernment to loan money, and none to which that power was auxiliary. ,77" r." 77" u7 -That he had heard it said that the government lent mon ey to the national banks, and if so, why could it not lend to in dividuals? Bat t hu govern inent did not lend the moneyj to the banks, but deposited it with them for its own conveni ence just as an Individ ua de posited his "private money in banks. , 7 ' . ' . 7. -7 -,The advocates of the sub treasury bill alleged that , the government built warehouses for distillers in which-they could deposit liquor-, and that it was as competent for the gov ernment to build warehouses for farmers ' to deposit their products. That this was a mis? conception of the facts; That the government did no build any warehouses ior msuiiers to deposit their liquors In, but hat the distillers themselves built the warehouses -..and the government took charge of them until the revenue tax was paid. Here he referred to the statutes of the U. S. regulating the sub- ect of the bonded warehouses. That he believed the bill to be unconstitutional because, it proposed to lend money to a certain class of farmers only; that money was not to be lent or all the people, but to farmers only, and to those i t r mers alone who raised cottou,' C ra, wheat, oats or tobacco. Ail farmers who raise other ' products are excluded fiom the benefits in tended to be conferred by the bill, and no person eould bor row money under its provisions, no matter , what security, he could offer, who was not a- pro-, ducer of the five favored crops. That he believed In the old Jeffersonian doctrine of.."equal rights to all, special privileges o none.-' i - He said he tvould be ashamed o ask for one class of his peo ple privileges which could not b9 enjoyed by other classes. That the law ought to be impar- ial in its operations, and if the government lent money to one class it ought to lend to every class; but the government was not and could not under tne constitution be a lender of money to auy class of its citi zens. It was jnsuiuieu ior ir . i " . 1 J 9 . different purposes, and could not in a banking business. As illnstratmg the impracti cability of the provisions of the bill, he said that under tne bill there could be only rourteen warehouses in the stated the provision being for the erection of warehouses in thos counties only in which the annual pro duct should be $oUO,UUO. Ha said it had always been his desire and purpose to carry out the wishes of his people; that he had always done so, and that, if this bill was consti tutional -he would vote for it whatever effect it might have- DIDN'T WANt TI1E DEVIL TO GET HIM." That the people of the State had made him a sentinel upon the watch tower, whose duty it was to warn them, and - that having warned them, he should do their bidding. The question of the practicability or impracs ticability of any measure was their business; the constitution allty was his bueiness. He had sworn to support the Constitu tion, and if he 1 violated Jhat oath the devil would get him, not them. ? THE NATIONAL BANK SYSTEM. , Upon his position in refer ence to the National -banks, he said that he wrote to Mr. Bed dingfield. in May. last that he Was UOl m lavqr ui auunsuing the National banks in the pres ent financial condition of the counlry. That this letter ires matned in. Mr. Bedding field's hands until last " week or the week before, when it was pub lished in the Progressive Far mer, and it was then charged that he was in conflict with the platform adopted - at tne late State convention, or the plans there in reference to National banks. ..... 't ,....,. ' y7 . . VOTED AGAINST EXTENDING THE NATIONAL BAUK CHARTER. " The Senator proceeded to say that he had been for years ar dently opposed to the National Banking System; and that he voted against extending the charter of banks; or granting any favors to them which were calculated to perpetuate or in tease their power. He stated that he had Intro duced a bill to repeal the tax of 10 per cent, on the circula tion of the State banks so that State banks might iesue curren cy to the people and break up the monoply which the Nation al Banks now enjoy. -1. What man in his senses would favor, the abolition of National Banks before some other sys- tem of banks had been devised to take their place? I mifi!TTATR Aum.rrmv wottt.ti I not do. I . .The eonntry is full of debtors who, if the banks were compell-, ed to close up their business. "In the present financial condi of the country," weuld be utter ly ruined. If the banks had to collect all debts due them, where would debtors obtain the money to pay their notes? It eould not be obtained, if nothing;. bad been provided to take- the place of. the; banks, and the property of thousands oi unibrtunate iebtors would be sold under the hammer at rninous prices 4tnd bought . by the speculators who happened to have ready cash. , ; u , t HE- FAVORED STATE BANKS, n He' favored the establishment of State banks of 'issue, based upon sound principles of finance where all people could borrow money upon their property, and he believed the repeal of the tax on State basks would be followed by good results in this direct ion. SQUARELY ON TUE DEMOCRATIC 17 PLATFORM. 7 What is needed is extension of the banking privileges to the people of the State, That his votes in Congress prove that be wanted: more money given to the people this he tiled to se cure by voting for the free coin age of silver. He stated that he stood upon the State Demos cratic platform.' SOME PERSONAL ALLUSIONS. The Senator hoped his hear ers weuld excuse him for some reference to himself. He said 36 years ago he made his entry into public life as a member of the House of Com mons from Buncombe county. In 1858 he was elected mem ber of Congress. That his coarse dating the days of fire and darkness, when the oloads of war were over the land, was known to hem, and it was known to him, never to be forgot- ten. how they had sustained him, in the execution of the Jatiea.ol the high office to which they had called him. He wan the standaid-bearer of the party in 1876, wbeu the State was redeemed from Radical rule. In 1878 the people elected him to the Senate, and in 1884 be was re elected. ' He wanted to say that whether he, bad served the people ably was not for him to nay, but that he conld say that he had serv edthem faithfully and honestly. And bad in all these years been no stain or scanda connected with his name. That his relations with his peo ple nad been harmonious, and that there bad never been any differ ence between tbem except upon the sub-treasury bill. AK APT AND HOMELY lLLUSTRA TION. If a man bad a horse which bad served him faithfully for tbirtyssix years, and'w aich bad never kicked, balked, shied or runaway, but was always ready aud willing to gb at the command of his master, but wnich on one occasion, after a long service, shied at an object in lb road and broke the bag-y, would its owner get hit gun and shoot the faithful old horse? If so, ire away. He had done the best he could. If they bad a man who could serve them tbirtysxix years honestly and faithfully and make no mistakes, bring bim out and he would support him.
