Spears, one of the Republican candidates for Elector-at-Large. 'I desire to meet Mr. Russell on the hustings of North Carolina.

NO SIGHT TO COMPLAIN. , The advocates ot the gold stand' ard contend that it would be dishon est to pay the Government obliga tions in silver, when according tothe contract -between the obligation holders and tue Government every dollar ot them is payable in coin and in silver, if the Government so elect Is there any dishonesty in living up to a contract in' good faith ? And isn't the dishonesty rather 01 the side of ihosewho take advantage of - j shaped to make the Government do more than it agreed to do' When the bonds were purchased that con stitute the main part of the public debt gold and silver were the recog nized money of this country, neither one nor the other, but both, ; There wasn't a buyer of one of these bonds who . did not buy them with the full knowledge that they were redeemable not; only in gold and silver, but in anything that the Gov ernment might choose te declare "lawful money" of the United States. Greenbacks are mw lawful money of the United States, and under the original contracts these greenbacks could be used in redeeming the Gov ernment's obligations. Bat It was never anticipated when the greenbacks were first issued that they should become permanent money.' They were issued as a ne cessity of war, have been perpetu ated for a generation after the war, and will in all probability be con-: tinned for an indefinite period. The bond - buyers duriug the days of i- the war, '. those "patriotic" gentlemen who let the soldiers go to the front while th;y remained-at home to speculate upon the necessities of the Government andj furnish it with the "sinews of war," took advantage of the green back, depreciated it just as many of them have since combined to de preciate silver,; bought it up at about $50 for ote dollar in coin, and with these greenbacks bought Government bonds dollar for. dollar.' How many of the bonds issued by the Government were paid for ia these depreciated greenbacks we do not know, but the probabilities are that the most of them were. For much of the time, in fact, until 1878, when the coinage of sil ver was begun, again, they were, with the national bank notes, about the only money in circulation, for there was then but little gold or sil ver in circulation; but they got rid of the greenback for redemption pur poses when, Jn 1868, they secured - the passage of the act by Congress declaring the bonds redeemable in "coin," and they played to get rid of silver in 1873, when Jbey secured. - the passage of the act dropping the silver dollar from the list of coins. Silver was remonetized by the coin age act of 1878, which restored .its le gal tender quality.but under the prac tice of the Treasury it is still as far as redeeming Government obligations goes a demonetized ' metal. It Is eood . and lawful tender from one person to another in any amount. but in its practice the Government ot the 'United States refuses to re cognize tne money waica n pro . i t i i &. claims a full legal tender, when it comes to dealing with the privileged zentlemen who hold - Government bonds. In order that there might be no misapprehension as to what was meant by the word "coin," or that the ntegrity of the Government might not be called into question, the Con gress of the United States in 1877, both houses voting tn the affirmative by an overwhelming majority, pass ed the Stanley-Matthews resolution, which reads thus : ; Whereas, By the act entitled "An act to strengthen tne pud: ic credit, ap- Droved March 18, 1869, it .was provided and declared that the faith of the United States was thereby solemnly pledged to the payment in coin or its equivalent of all the intense-bearing obligations of the United States, except in cases where tne law authorizing tne issue ot sucn obliga tions bad expressly provided that the tame might be paid in lawful money or otber currency than gold or silver; and Whereas, All tbe bonds of tne united States authorized to be issued by the act entitled "An act to authorize the re funding of the national debt, approved July 14. 1870. by the terms of said act were declared to be redeemable in com of the then present standard value, bear ing interest payable semi-annually in such coin: and - Whereas. All bonds of the United States authorized to be Issued under the act entitled "An act to provide for the resumption of specie payment, approved lanuary 14 1875, are (required to os ot the description of . the bonds of the United States described in the. said act of Congress, approved July 14, 1870. en titled "An act to authonzs the refund ing of tbe national debt;" and whereas At tbe date oi tne pasage oi said act of Congress, last aforesaid, to- wit. the 14th of Inly. 1870, tbe com oi tbe United .States of standard yaue of that date included silver dollars of tbe weight of 412K grains each, as declared by the act approved January 18, 1837, entitled "An act supplementary to tne act entitled. 'An act establishing a mint and regulating the coins of the United States, to be a legal tender of pay ment according to their nominal value for any sums whatever, therefore! be it. Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring therein). That all bonds of tbe United States. issued or authorized to be issued under the said acts of Congress hereinbefore cited are payable principal and interest at the option of tbe UDvernment ot the United States in silver dollars of the coinage of the United States containing 412 grains each of standard silver; and that to restore to its coinage such silver coins as a legal tender in payment oi said bonds, principal and interest, is not in violation of the public faith or in derogation of the rights of the public creditor. Was there any dishonesty in this ? Was there any bondholder who could reasonably object to it or protest against it ? No one denied the con tract; they couldn't deny it, for it was printed on bond, and they had no right to complain, for if the bonds were redeemed in silver the holders would then have gotten twice as much or more than the bondscost them, with the interest in coin, mostly in gold, which they had re- received in the meantime. To assert that to pay these bonds now in silver, or to redeem the out standing greenbacks in silver, would be dishonest, and practical repudia tion is the baldest assertion and the sublimity of cheek. A man has a right to complain at , being cheated, but he has no right ' to complain at another person's refusing to be cheated and robbed to put money in the complainant's packet HIS OB. MEBTIO. Gen. John B. Gordon's name has been prominently ' mention as the prospective gold stard uominee for 'Vice President, in the event a third ticket be nominated, but he has put a quietus on this by publicly an nouncing (hat he would not accept such a nomination, but . will sup port the regular nominees of the Democratic National Convention Among the reasons given for stand ing by the party a reporter of the Baltimore Sun . who interviewed him quotes the following: ; "You mnsf know." said he in explain ing his pcs.tion, "that the political situ ation in Gforgia, while similar to that in other Southern States, is not thoroughly. appreciated in the North. . The De mocracy of Georgia is alwaysthreatened with the accession to power of an unde sirable element. Tbis is made up of a radical agrarian element, holding to very unusual views on finaiiciat and other questions. With the assistance of the negro vote tbis element might at any time secure control ot the state. "To keep tbis element, a most danger cus one. in tbe bactground. tbe Demo crats find it necessary to stand together. There are hosts of sound money Demo crats in Georgia who, before tbe Chicago Convention, talked as if they would not support any silver' nominee, but now most of these, recognizing the alterna tive, are, one by one. deciding to vote the ticket. Republican rule in my State would be a calamity, and the rale of tbe element I have mentioned would be as bad. - 1 deem it my duty, under the circumstances to vote for the nomi nees of my party. I have been asked to take the stump in Georgia for Bryan and. Sewall, and I; may make' a few speeches inheir behalf." "Why do you not .consider a s:c- ond Democratic ticket desirable?" was asked. "Because I do not think it could mus ter material strength. In our section of the country there are few. very lew. who I think would support such a ticket. Tbe people do not want it. There is little dissatisfaction from . the ' Demo cratic ranks owing to the silver plat form, this being largely due to tbe causes which J have , mentioned. Those who say they will vote for McKinley rather than Bryan would likely vote for McKinley if a gold Democrat werenom inated. as they would believe that. Mc Kinley would have the better chance of eleclion." .-. Regarding the pending financial issue Senator Gordon said that he favored the gold standard. ' though after alt." be con tinned. 'the free coinage of silver may nut piove as disastrous as we gold bugs now oeueve it wiu be. I believe in hav ing incse great questions settled once ana lorever, just as the great slavery MuGtuu , ana we might as well get tbe silver matter out of the iri be tried and dots , not plunge the coun try into a pauic, me goia standard men will see tnat tney were not altogether right in their reasoning, and if it be tried and proves a failure, the silver men will see the error of their ways. "I know Bryan intimately, and I cot sider him a well-balanced, honest, up rieht man. In spite of his radical cur. rency views. I do not believe, if elected, he would allow the nltra-silverites in his party to control his actions.' He is a man who would feel profoundly im pressed by the sense of his responsibility. and be would I think, be much more conservative than he is widely con sidered." , . - ' - , ' - There is not a reason herein given for standing by the party which is not as pertinent in North Carojina and every other Southern State as it is in Georgia, and that should novl have as much weight with any other Southern Democrat as it has with this distinguished Southern soldier, patriot and Democrat. Whether the gold standard Demo crats who are now discussing the putting of a gold ticket in the field will go through the formality ot do ing this depends on circumstances. .We say "formality" because there is no earthly show of such a ticket be ing elected, and they know it. If there was any intention tosupport such a ticket by an active campaign in its behalf, it would require the ex penditure of considerable ' money, and there is little encouragement to spent! money for. a ticket which is foredoomed to defeat If it were a matter beyond ; doubt that it would '. help ' McKinley -then Mark Hanna would furnish the cash to foot the bills and help run the cam paign as an adjunct of the McKin ley campaign, but they are not satis fied of this. At a banquet given to Hon. J. Sterling Morton, in Omaha, Nebraska, Wednesday, this subject was discussed. The dispatch, in speaking of it, closes with the fol lowing: significant language : 4,It was 'admitted, however, that the placing of a National $ Democratic ticket ia the field with gold tenden cies might cost McKinley some votes." This seems to be one of the considerations urged against nomi nating a third ticket, the fear that it might hurt McKinley. if this was a meeting of protectionists, who put protection above all other party issues, this would have been a quite logical and natmal position for them to take, but it was a meeting of "prominent administration Demo crats" to greet and confer with a member of the administration, which now seems to be doing all in its power to give aid and comfort to McKinley, and to avoid anything that "might cost McKinley some votes." , . .. - The "middle of the road" Popu lists seem to be asserting themselves in respective State conventions now being held, and appear to be very much in evidence. Wherever they are strong they are fighting coop eration with the Democratic party, whether it be in the shape of fusion or otherwise, their aim being to keep up the party organization, and keep themselves in a position where they will be in line for the spoils of office. This disposition has been en couraged and very much strength ened by the .utterances of Mr. Wat son, their , nominee for Vice President, who. insists on "Mr. Sewall coming down and mak ing; way for him. This will give the extremists an excuse for doing what -they wanted to do before, that is taking down Bryan's name and running a straight ticket of their own a course. on which they seem to be bent. Tbey have no expecta tion tof electing this ticket, and they know full well that its only effect will be to help the McKinley electo ral ticket that much, and this is what they are probably playing for, tor the more they divide and mix things up the better their chances of hold ing the balance of power, and reap ing the fruits. We expect to see the Populist convention, which meets on the 13th at Raleigh, playing this game. ' BOOK HOTICES.

The farm country and the nearness of tlio Iowa line prevented anything like those plantation cruel ties of -whioh we sometimes read. In fact, I should judge that some of the Missouri slaves had as good a time as their masters. v. " "In illustration I might tell a queer story which had its scene in Independence, Mo. ; Old Banker Saw yer of Independence carried on the same Sawyer . bank: wnicn exists to day away ack in the fifties,' when Independence, as the eastern end of the Santa Fe trail, was the great outfitting point for those daring and misguided people who meditated a flight across the plains.; Among other ohattels of Banker Sawyer 'was a big black negro named Dustun. Dustun was a great mechanic - and had vast fame all over ' the western country as the maker of that fashion of wagon I known as . the 'prairie schooner. '. Sawyer had besides his bank a wagon shop at Independence, and his negro Dustun ran the wagon shop. The wagon shop did a good trado, and ' Sawyer said ' to Dustun one day: 1 " 4 You make a lot of money work ing overtime, Dustun. - Why don t you buy and own yourself? Why do you continue 'in slavery? You've got $500 or $600 down m my bank now.' . . . "And it was true. Dustun had laid up quite a little sum of money, and the fact of a slave With money on deposit in the hank of his master is of itself illustrative of the lax. condition of the institution in Mis souri. : V 'What'll you take for me? asked Dustun. . " 'Seeing it's you,' said Sawyer, 'I'll sell out cheap. If you want to buy yourself, 111 take $1,500, while you're easily worth $3,000. "Dustun- bought himself, paid $500 down and took the rest of him self on credit. Sawyer made out his freedom papers, and Dustun made a mortgage on himself to Sawyer for the $1,000. Then he went to work. In a year he had , paid himself tree, in two years more he bought his wife and . little girL Then he began ' to make money. But he hadn't proceeded far nor laid up much ahead when one night a fire started, and the next morning found Dustun's wagon shop in ashes. Shop, tools, stock and everything was burned up as clean as a whistle, and with the forethought of his race Dustun had no insurance. - ) "It was a plain, bard, bitter case of begin again with Dustun. He thought the situation over and then went to his old master, Sawyer. After ten minutes' talk Sawyer lent Dustun $1,000 and took a mortgage on his wife and young one. Dustun rebuilt his shop and opened up anew. He kept his old trade and added to it. It finally became very unfashion able to start across the plains in anything but one of Dustun's prairie schooners. : Within a year Dustun again had a dear title to his wife and family. "Life went easy after that with the old black wagon maker. He died about ten y ears ago at Independence worth fairly $50,000. The daughter whom he bought from Sawyer and then mortgaged and cleared the title to again was for a long time, and is, I believe, now a teacher in the color ed public schools at. Kansas City.
