WILMINGTON, N. C.
Saturday Morning, June 20, 1896
McKINLEY IT IS.
It has been a foregone conclusion
for some time that William McKin-
ley would be the nominee of the St,
T.nnis convention.' Practically his
competitors, while keeping up the
appearance of a contest, gave the
fight up several weeks ago, a fact
which Senator Quay virtually ac
knowledged when he made his "mys
terious" visit to Canton, and more
emphatically confessed when Mr.
Reed's manager, Manley, acknowl
edged publicly that McKinley would
be nominated on first ballot. There
was really no fight against him at
St. Louis, for the opposition saw
that Mr. Hanna had a majority of
the delegates, that it was useless to
contest, and therefore they fell m as
racefullv as thev could behind the
o
McKinley band wagon.
Not being able to capture the nom
ination for a gold candidate, tney
rontAmH thpir efforts on securing a
gold platform to bind the candidate,
who had the reputation of leaning
too much towards silver, and in this
they succeeded, because Mr. Hanna,
who would have preferred a straddle
on the moaey question, feared a re
volt against his candidate after the
nomination and therefore yielded.
As the gold men now have McKin
ley bound by the platform, they will,
of course. suoDort him as the best
they can do, if not cheerfully.
1 ; They can't, of course, get up much
pnthimiasm. for the nominee after
their unmeasured criticism ot his
standing on the money question, and
the unstinted denunciation of Mr.
Hanna's corrupt methods in securing
State delegations, but will be as en
thuslastic as they can on the plat
form which in their opinion,-and
truly, amounts to much more than
' the candidates, for it is the platform
after all upon which the fight must
be made and the issue decided.
The plan of Mr. McKinley and his
backers was to make the tariff the
loomin? issue, but this plan was
marred and practically destroyed by
the gold men who brought the
money question to the front and
made that the issue, and hence the
tariff will play only a subordinate
and a very subordinate part in the
-campaign and at the polls in Novem
ber. The gold men made the issue
and compelled Mr. HanHa, as the
representative of Mr. McKinley, to
accept it and to stand upon it.
When they were doing that they
were also exerting an influence to
shape the course that the Democrats
must pursue at Chicago, if there
had been any doubt as to that, for
as a matter of politics, if not of prin
ciple, the Democratic party cannot
afford to echo the Republican plat
form on the money question, and
drive in the rut of the Republican
band wagon. This would be simply
giving away our opportunity and ac
knowledging to the world that the
" same agencies which changed the
Hanna-McKinley programme in the
eleventh hour, and captured the Re
publican organizatipn, also controls
' the Democratic party, an acknowl
edgement which would be
tantamount to party . suicide.
As the -j situation now pre
sents itself, whatever individual
opinion may be on the money ques
tion,' there is now for the Democrat
who desires party success or hopes
for it, no choice left. The party
must declare for the free and unlim-
ited coinage of silver or go into the
contest handicapped and with defeat
staring it in the face.
Theie is no use in trying to dis
guise the fact that we have a very
formidable foe to confront; formida
ble not only in numbers but in the
dollars they can command to back
their ticket. In fighting the Repub
lican party we have always had to
fight money; we will have to doit
again, and more of it this time than
ever before; but if there be the ster
ling virtue in the masses of the
American people that we believe
there is they will triumph over this
selfish money combine if the Demo
cratic party defies it and puts .itself
in full accord with the people.
The ticket makers at St. Louis ap
propriately finished their work by
giving the second place on the ticket
to Mr. Hobart, of New Jersey, whose
chief distinction is that he is con
nected with a multiplicity of stock
companies and national banks, which
was a very appropriate thing for a
convention to do which was manipu
lated by stock, jobbers and brokers.
-President Cleveland gives the
country through the New" York
Herald the comforting assurance
that "the Democratic party is neither
unpatriotic nor foolish." This is not
an original discovery with Mr. Cleve
land, for there are several million
Democrats of the same opinion, and
they show it by insisting on going
back to the old Democratic land
marks on the money question and
on making the issue direct with the
money power which controls , the
Republican pary.
Seven thousand three hundred
barrels of whiskey gone up in a big
blaze in St. Louis, and about the
time the convention assembled. This
may account for the lack of enthu
siasm that characterized the opening
proceedings.
"PROM A SOUTHERN STASIA
POINT."
We clip the following from the
New York World:
Tinder this heading the Wilmington
(N. C) Star gives a temperate state
nt thp reasons wbv there is a
strong free-silver sentiment at the South
and West. It is perhaps worth while to
examina the reasons m tne spr
which they are given. ',.
The first reason is that money is
very scarce and very hard to get. Ana
the Star says that .
-The large majority oi
people and of the Western lehaye
r . . i. .. mnnM to the u fl
an idea (wnicu - - .
sophisticated denizens o the back
woods by a good deal) that the free
coinage of silver will add considerably
ih amnnnt of money in circulation,
and that they will stand a better chance
to get some of it.
Th renl to this is that money is not
scarce for those who have an eqaivalent
to give for it; and that it is never plen
tiful (honestly!) for those who have no
equivalent.
The per capita circuiauuu ui iuw
now about $23. In 1873, to which time
the free-silventes "hark back, it was
only $18. There is a surplus reserve of
ftan 000 000 in the New York banks.
Asd in all ol me money centres iuuti
large sums of money .lying mie or i
cut on short loans at very low interet
rates.
But the Star, admitting that "there
is lots of money in the banks," says it is
controlled by "the Eastern money
kings," and that the free coinage ol silver
would "break up the monopoly."
But how? Has a Southern or west
ern firmer, suffering from ' the money
thirst," ever really thought out the way
in which the free coinage of "silver will
relieve him? Free coinage simply
means that a mine-owner or bullion
dealer may take to the mint silver worth,
say. 52 cents and get the Government to
put the one dollar stamp upon .
That is, for $52 000 worth of .silver
bullion he could get $100,000 in silver
dollars, It the price of silver should rise
under this privilege the 'owner of the
bullion would still get the coins.
Now. how is the North Carolina man
who is "short" to set "his snare oi mis
mnnev ? Are kees of them to be opened
in ivrv nost-office. with the sign "Take
one," -Help yourself to your per capita?-'
Can the grower of peanuts or tne pro
ducer of tar or cotton or corn compel
the mine-owner to eive upany part of
his freely coined dollars in exchange lor
these nroducts? If the Banners or
"monev kines" want these dollars, does
not our North Carolina friend know
that they will have the means of getting
rhAm and even - of "cornenne mem II
that would be orofitablc?
Instead of "adding constaeraoiy to tne
amount of money in circulation, the
free coinage of silver would cay ss the
greatest and most d sistrous cot traction
of our currency ever known. It would
drive out of circulation, in obedience to
a law which has operated with like effect
in every tree-silver country in tne woria,
all the gold coin and the gold certifi
cates, which amount to over $600 000 -
000. It would likewise drive out of cir
cilaticn or reduce one-half in value the
$345,000,000 in greenbacks and the $214.-
000.000 of national banknotes.
Would this contraction of more than
a Quarter oi our currency enauic me
. ii .
Southern and Western people to "stand
a better chance" to get mone??
Finally, we commend to the tree'
silver men these unchallenged and
irrefutable propositions of Secretary
Carlisle: .
First There is not a free coinage
country in the world to day that is not
on a silver basis.
Second There is not a gold-standard
country in the world today mat does
not use silver as money along with gold
Third There is not a silver-standard
country in the world to-day that uses
any gold as money along with silver.
Tourth There is not a silver-standard
country in the world to-day that has
more than one-third as much monev in
circulation per capita as the United
States have.
This might be called a reply from
an Eastern standpoint, but is in fact
no reply at all, because it is based
on premises which have no tounaa
tion in fact, and on inferences based
entirely on assumption. If these
were admitted then the World
would be right in its contention,
but it is simply building a man of
straw to knock him down and manu
facturing its premises to draw its
own conclusions.
"Money is not scarce," it tells us,
"for. those who have ah equivalent
to give for it." Isn't it? Have not
the people of the South cotton, corn,
tobacco and sundry other products
to give for it? But money is scarce
all the same.- Haven't the people of
the West wheat, corn, oats, beef,' pork,
I' wool, and sundry other products
to give for it? But money is scarce
all the same, and it may be remarked
that it will take a good deal of cot
ton at seven cents a pound and a
good deal' of wheat at 60 cents a
bushel, after the cost- of production
is taken out, to put a little money in
the farmer's pocket. But if the
farmer be in debt, the debt, principal
and interest must be paid according
to agreement whether cotton be
worth 7 or 10 cents a pound or
wheat 60 or 80 cents a bushel. The
money lender is safe however the
money manipulators may play with
the prices of the farmer's products.
But perhaps the World means by
"an equivalent" the gilt-edge col
lateral which will draw money out
of the Eastern money centers, like
New York, for instance, where it
tells us there is a surplus reserve
ot over $20,000,000 awaiting
borrowers at' low rates of
interest for short loans. There are,
doubtless, as the World says, many
millions in the money centers wait
ing borrowers on short loans. But
what good does that do the masses
of people in the South and West?
Very few of them have this gilt edge
collateral and very few of them want
-short loads, for the loans the people
in the South and West make must be
repaid out of the products of the
farm. The World might as well cite
the fact that there is an abundance
of money in the London banks for
those who "have an equivalent to
give for it." The money locked up
in London does the South and the
West about as much good as the
money locked up in New York and
other Eastern money centers does?
The Southern and Western farmer
expects to be benefitted by the free
coinage of silver because it will in
crease the volume of currency, and
thus increase prices, and he does not
believe in the absurd contention that
it will drive gold out of the country
and thus decrease the volume of the
currency, nor does he believe that
the free coinage of silver .will give
us 50 cent dollars. As far as driv
ing gold out of the country Is con
cerned this is a mere delusion, if
entertained. Gold will not go out
of the country unless there is pre
mium enough on it to make its ship
ment profitable and then it will go
as it has been going, and is now go
ing, free coinage or no free coinage.
It can't drive gold out of circulation
because there is really no gold in
actual circulation now. It is hoarded
for snecnlation Durposes. the circu
lating medium being composed ex
clusively of paper and subsidiary
silver.
There are some other points in
this reply which we shall notice to
morrow.
MINOR MENTION.
The revolt of the free silver men
at St. Louis will be as nothing com
pared with the revolt among the peo
ple when they are asked to endorse
the job put up there by the money
power that controlled that conven
tion. If the makers of tfiat plat
form had contented themselves with
the bimetallic declarations of i892,
with the additional pledge that the
party if called into power would en
deavor to bring about "international
agreement, it might have main
tained its consistency, but while it is
in some respects an echo of the de
claration of 1892,. it ignores any
reference to the legislation referred
to in' that declaration, Commits
the party to the gold stand
ard, and is hence a clear
deDarture from the position of
the party four ' years ago, and pre
viously, a departure which is solely
attributable to the dictation of the
money power which was there in force
and demonstrated its powerful grip
on the leaders of the ' Republican
party. The people will understand
this pledge to endeavor to secure
"international agreement as a mere
piece of deception, intended to hum-
on? them, iust as the reference to
"international agreement," and "suit
able legislation" were in the plat
form of 1892. We do not think the
masses of the people can be success
fully fooled a second time with the
same old fake, although backed by a
"pledge" that not one of the pledgers
intended to redeem when they made
it.

Raleigh Press Visitor: The va

ware, are suffering greatly in this
section from rot and blight. Some
vineyards are ruined. In those where
there was early spraying of the vines
with b'uestone mixture, and where
this spraying has been repeated six
or seven times, the grapes are all
right. Mr. George Shellem's vine
yard is largely damaged. Whiting
Bros, say they are told by the buy
ers, who are now making their an
nual tour, that their grapes are in
condition superior to those at South
ern Pines. The blight of mildew has
attacked many kinds of fruit trees.
There are few apples, pears, plums,
peaches, or cherries worth mention
ing in this section. Even trees in
the woods shows the effect of blight
to a remarkable degree.
Newbern Journal: Mr. .H. E.

last night by telegraph that his
brother was thought to be dying
from injuries received from some un

days ago. -Mr. G. M. Royall was way
laid and robbed upon the public road
while returning from Smithfield to
his home in Goldsboro. He was rid

several hours after being attacked in
an unconscious condition. He has
remained in this state ever since,
and it has been impossible to gain
any information from him concern

he was nursed at Smithfield, but upon
the request of his family and with
