OCALA DEMANDS XOT STATU
ISSUES.
Tlie only reason that would justify the
organization of a Third Party in North
Carolina would be because ihe. Peinoenc-y
had failed to consider the interests of the
people or to be in touch with them. The
Democracy has not been found wanting
in these particulars. The last Demo
cratic State convention embodied in its
platform all the demands which the
Alliance asked it to adopt. Since that
convention was held the sub-treasury
plan and frovernment control of railroads
have been made a part of the Alliance
demands by the Ocala convention. The
only apparent differences, therefore, be
tween the Alliance and the Democratic
party in North Carolina uro the sub-
treasury bill and government control of
railroads. But these differences are
more apparent than real. The last Leg
islature a Democratic body passed a
resolution instructing our Senators and
requesting our Representatives in Con
gress to use all honorable means to secure
the financial reforms contemplated by
the Ocala platform. The same Demo
erati9 LagiilatnrR also enacted a. bill
known as the railroad commission bill,
delegating to tbe commission authority
to supervise railroads and control their
freight and passenger rates, and also to
control and regulate the rates of express
and telegraph companies. It is true that
this Legislature was dominated by the
Alliance element, but it was none the
less a Democratic body, Alliance men
and non-Alliance Democrats working
harmoniously together to accomplish the
purposes for which they were elected and
which they believed to be for the best
nterests of the people.
This Democratic Legislature, voicing
the sentiments of the people, went as far
as it could toward securing government
control of railroads when it passed the
commission bill and did all in its power
to aid in the enactment of laws in accord
with the Ocala platform when it in
structed our Senators and Representa
tives to use all honorable means to secure
the financial reforms demanded by that
platform, and the Democracy of the State
is bound by this action of its Legislature
The Democracy of North Carolina can
do nothing more in regard to these meas
ures than it has done. As a matter of
fact final action upon the sub-treasury
bill and government control of railroads
is exclusively within the province af
Congress, that body hnvingthe sole right
to deal with them.
It is clear from these facts that the
Alliance has nothing to gain and much
to lose by injecting these issues into State
politics; the Democracy of North Caroli
na has done all it possibly can do concern
ing these measures, and it was done with
out material opposition or factious objec
tion. Why, then, should these demands
be brought again into State politics at
all ? Why should they be forced iuto
the campaign after they have once been
finally settled so far as the State Dem
ocracy can settle them? Why should
support of these two demands be made a
test of efficiency iu candidates for posi.
tions on the State, Legislative and county
tickets, when the men to be elected to
such positions will have nothing to do
with shaping legislation affecting them?
The men elected to State, Legislative and
county offices cannot procure the enact
ment of these measures into law, nor even
hasten their enactment. Only an en
dorsement of them could be procured by
resolutions by the Legislature, but, as
said above, the Legislature has already
done this as emphatically as is possible.
But then, it may be asked, what is to
be done by those who honestly believe
the adoption of these measures absolutely
necessary to the prosperous existence of
agriculture and agriculturalists? Mu.-t
they surrender their eonscienti jus uonviu
tions and remain onitweent? N"t nt nil,
They can and should appeal to the only
body in this country which has the power
to grant the relief needed and demanded
the Congress of the United States. They
can do this by going into the congression
al conventions, making known their needs
and insisting on nominating and electing
men to congress who are in favor of these
measures. They can demand from every
spirant to a nomination for congress
whether he will, if elected, advocate and
support these measures, and if he answer
in the negative they can lid him remain
at home, and nominate and elect sunh
men to congress as will give heed to their
wishes and give their time and talents to
bringing Into active operation the de
mands in question.
The oyster men of the l'amlioo section
are not happy. The act of the last Leg
islature known as the oyster law prohibits
dredging and keeps foreign oystcnuen
from destroying the beds, but another evil
not then foreseen has appeared which the
oystermen fear will put an end to their
business. It is the gobbling up of the
State oyster beds by private individuals.
The law allows any citizen to enter ten
acres of oyster bottoms at twenty-five cents
an acre, but land is entered by many in
dividuals nominally and then bought in,
by which means several men already own
hundreds of acres each.
The congressional conventions are the
only plaees where these demands can
properly be made political issues, and
forcing them iuto State politics is danger
ous to the Alliance, dangerous to the
Democracy, and dangerous to white su
premacy in North Carolina. Wo hope
siucerely that the Alliance will not by
Ill-considered action injure itself by
making unnecessary issucsin this State
issues which are fraught with danger and
can accomplish no material good.
The Rocky Mount Argonaut issued
its industrial edition last week. We
have seen trade and industrial editions of
various papers but never one which filled
our ideal as that oue of the Argonaut
last last week. It contains more infor
mation about Nuilh Carolina than any
paper wo have overseen and can but do
lots of gjod. We are glad indeed the
Argonaut sent out its industrial edition.
Dr. Long was bound to make it a good
one.
Thus far the cotton pickers' strike
amounts to nothing. Reports fiotn (he
Southern States say that no action has
been taken in the premises and the farm
ers anticipate no trouble. There have
ben no indications of a similar strike in
North Carolina. The cotton pickers are
not in a position to refuse work unless their
demands are conceded. We hope nothing
of the kind will be attempted as it will
result only in disaster to both the wage
earners and the farmers.
Thb State Chronicle has entered upon
its tenth volume. It is a good, newsy,
well edited paper, and we wish it success.
Its enlargement a few months ajo is the
beginning of many improvements which
Joe Daniels intends to make from time to
time. We are glad to see that the sub
scription lists of the Chronicle are grow
ing satisfactorily.
