Will you submit to this conspiracy
between the professional farmers,
the farmers who cultivate the quar
rels of their neighbhrs, farmers who
labor with their jaws, Populist agi
tators of the West,' and the unre
conciled slave-holders of the South ?
This is a conspiracy between pro
fessional larmers, who want to pay
low wages, and the unreconciled
slave-holders, who would like to
pay no wages at all. - (Extract lrom
the speech of Bourke Cockran, de
livered in New York August 18th.)
M'KINLEY ON FREE SILVER.
Yesterday we referred briefly to
Mr. McKmley's letter of acceptance
as a document that Mr. Bryan and
other Democratic speakers would
find very fruitful atid make good use
of both on the money question and
and on the tariff, on botbJ of which
he dwells at length, and bh both of
which he has left himself open to at
tack. Although he declares the
tariff to be the paramount issue in
this campaign he gives precedence to
the free silver question, as if that
brought up unpleasant recollections
in view of his votes in Congress and
his deliverances in the campaign of
1892, and he was therefore anxious
to get rid of it. But he isn't getting
rid of it, for he discusses it from the
standpoint of baldfaced assumption
. supported only by the rot which the
organs of his party, and the so-called
democratic goio standard organs
have been dealing out to their read
ers ever since this has been an issue.
He defines free coinage thus :
The meaning of the coinage plank
adopted at Chicago is that any one may
taice a quantity ot silver Dullion now
worth 53 cents to ths mints of the United
States, bave It coined at the expense of
toe uowcament, and receive for it a sll
ver dollar, which shall be legal tender
for the payment of all debts, public or
private, l ne owner ot tne silver bullion
, would get the silver dollar. It would be
long to. him and to nobody else. O.her
people would get it only by their labor
the products of their land, or something
of value. The bullion owner on the basis
of present values would receive the sil
ver dollar for fifty-three cents worth of
silver, and other people would bs ! re
quired to receive it as a full dollar in the
payment of debts. The Government
would get nothing from the transaction.
It would bear the expense of coining the
silver and the community would suffer
loss bv its use.
These dollars, in the particulars I
have named, are not the same as the
dollars which would be issued under
free coinage. Tbey would be the same
in form but different in value. The
Government wtuld have no part in the
transaction, except to coin the silver bul
lion into dollars. It would share in no
part of the profit. It would take upon
, itself no obligation. It would not put
the dollars into circulation. It could
only get them as any citizen would get
them by giving something for them
It would deliver them to those who de
posited the silver and us connection
with the transaction would there end.
Such are the silver dollars which would
be issued under free coinage of silver at
a ratio of 16 to 1. Who would then
maintain the parity ? What would keep
them at par with gold ? There would
be no obligation resting upon the Gov
ernment to do it, and if there were It
would be powerless to do it. The simple
truth is we would be driven to a silver
basis to silver monometallism. These
dollars, therefore, would stand upon their
real value. If the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at a ratio 6T sixteen
ounces of silver to one ounce of gold
would, as some of its advocates assert,
make fifty-three cents in silver worth
one hundred cents and the silver dollar
equal to the gold dollar, then we would
have no cheaper money than now, and
. it would be no easier to get.
It is beneath the standing of a
man occupying the conspicuous
position that Mr. McKinley does to
contend that the free coinage of sil
ver is for the benefit of the silver
mine-owners Only, who would profit
by what would bring disaster to
everyone else. But how, it might
be asked, cjuld the silver mine-
owner profit so much while every
one else would be robbed by his "50
cent" doMars? Free coinage, it is
true, would give a legal tender
quality to the dollar in which his
so called 63 cents worth ot Damon
would be converted by the process
of mintage, but by what magic pro
cess is the silver mine-owner going
to force the public to take his 53 cent
dollar for a full dollar any 'more than
the wage-earner, of whom they are
now talking so much, could compel
his grocer or butcher to. give him a
dollar's- worth of groceries or a dol
lar's worth of meat for it ? They
insist that under free coinage, and
by implication Mr. McKinley so in
sists, the silver, dollar will be worth
only halt its present value. If the
silver mine owner were in deot to
the amount of the bullion he had
coined he might work the legal ten
der racket and wipe out his debts
with them, buying and paying for
things, the so called depreciated
dollar wouldn't be worth any more
to the mine-owner than it would
be to the farmer or the
wage earner, in whom Mr. McKinley
and those who talk for him are
showing such a remarkable interest,
which will probably hold out until
the end of the campaign. Viewing
it from our standpoint and from the
standpoint of common business sense
we do not see how the mine owner,
and he only is to be benefitted by
converting his bullion into coin when
every one else is to be injured by it.
But as a matter of fact, this is a
deceptive statement by Mr. McKin
ley. In the fit st place we have not
now free coinage of gold and would
not have free coinage of silver
strictly speaking, for the custom of
the Government always has been to
make a moderate charge for mint
age to cover the cost of assaying,
coin in? and the anov used in tne
coin. This charge has been so small
as to be willingly borne so that the
assertion here of the Government
bearing ail the expense and reaping
none of the benefit is not true. What
benefit, it may be asked, does the
Government derive from the free
coinage of gold? Wouldn't it derive
as much benefit from the free coin
age of silver which is turned over to
the silver miner as it does from the
gold which is turned over to the
gold miner? The Government does
not profit by the transaction of coin
ing silver, he tells us, because to get
the silver it has to give something in
return for it, but does it get any of
the gold which it coins without giv
ing something in return for it ? What
the Government gets it gets not from
the mints but from internal taxes and
import duties and sale of public
lands and it gets mighty little gold
in this way now- It gets a good deal
more silver. This is the money it
puts into circulation, but it has not
been making any very hard efforts
to put the silver it receives into cir
eolation.
This is a sample of Mr. McKinley 's
very uncandid way of dealing with
the silver question, and but one of a
number equally as unfair and un
caudid that might be quoted. Yet
Mr. McKinley pretends to be a bi-
metallist and anxious, (or he was a
few years ago,) to see silver In as
general use as gold and as unre
stricted.
THE CAT GOT OUT.
In speaking yesterday ot that
"sound money" so-called Democratic
Convention at Greensboro, which
was worked up and engineered by
that distinguished citizen from some
other State, at present a 'peripatetic
citizen of this State, Mr. Louis De
La Croix, we remarked that
there was a pretty live cat in
the meal tub, and made the
further observation that we were
morally satisfied that some of the
participants in that "convention"
were in sympathy with the Republi
can, party national and State, and
that the expenses of working up this
opposition to the Chicago ticket
were doubtless paid out of Hanna's
campaign fund, directly or indirectly.
In his report of the proceedings
Mr. Christian, of the Raleigh News
and Observer, quotes the distin
guished engineer and peripatetic
citizen, Mr. De La Croix, in his
speech of welcome to the delegates
(24 all told, 16 of whom were from
Greensboro, from. Winston-Salem,
1 from Newbernfil from Rocking
ham . 1 from LiBcolnton, 1 from
Charlotte, and 1the distinguished
peripatetic engineer, Mr. Louis De
La Croix from Oxford) as saying:
"The success of the Republi
can PARTY THIS FALL MEANS THAT
Bryan repudiation and Populism
shall take a back seat, thau the
PRESENT STANDARD OF VALUE, THE
GOLD STANDARD, SHALL BE PRE
SERVED AT ALL HAZARDS."
And he might have added at any
cost, it tiannas fund holds out.
How do you like the complexion of
Mr. De La Croix's cat ?
MIS OR MEHTIO J.
The press dispatches announced
yesterday that arrangements had
been made for "the Importation of
$10,000,000 of gold frtm Europe,
several millions of which are now In
transit. It is not so stated, but the
understanding is that this gold is be
ing imported to keep up the gold re
serve, which, notwithstanding the
$25,000,000 or so put in by the
bankers with the past few weeks,
continues to fall. Thlsgold is being
imported, it must be understood, in .
face of the claim that we have $600,
000,000 of gold ia , this country.
There are but three ways by which
we can v get gold from Eu
rope; one is by selling some
thing for it, the other Is. by bor
rowing it and paying interest on it,
the third by getting a temporary
loan of it for nothing, merely, as a
matterof friendly accommodation.
We know that this gold is not com
ing in exchange for commodities sent
abroad, for we are told that it comes
by special arrangement of men who
manipulate gold in this country and
have undertaken the task of keeping
no the eold reserve. They must
either borrow it and pay for the use
of it or get it tor nothing. If they
borrow it and pay interest on it they
expect to get back the investment by
perpetuating the gold standard and
if they get the use of it for nothing
the gold manipulators on the other
side who let them have the gratui
toususe of it expect to get well
paid for their accommodation by
perpetuating the gold standard. It-
is simply a case of the gold men who
understand each other pulling to
gether for mutual benefit. It is
business, calculating, cold-blooded
business.
Honesty and candor are good in
politics as in other things. In this
regard there is contrast as wide as
time and eternity between the advo
cates of genuine bimetallism, which
means the free and unlimited coin
age of both gold and silver, and the
advocates of the fraudulent bimet
allism which advocates the gold
standard, and making silver a mere
token money. Mr. Bryan referred
to this contrast in his Buffalo speech
when he said, if you ask the farmer.
or the mechanic, or the day laboren
why they are in favor of the free and
unlimited coinage of silver, they will
tell you without hesitation, and can
didly, that it is because they believe
it will benefit them, but if you ask
the bondholders, money-lenders and
gold speculators why they are op
posed to the free coinage of silver,
and in favor of perpetuating the
single gold standard,' tbey will not
say because the gold standard
will benefit-them, but will give
the transparent and hypocriti
cal reason that it is because free
silver will depreciate the silver cur-
rency, and the farmers and wage
earners would have to take 50 cent
instead ot 100 cent dollars. Now
wouldn't it be more honest on their
part to admit that they want to
stick to the gold standard because
they will profit by it, as the farmers
and other free silver advocates ad
mit that they favor, free silver be
cause they believe they will be bene
fitted by it ? This is a campaign of
chicanery and disguised selfishness
on the part of the gold standard ad
vocates, and of candor and honesty
on the part of the free silver advo
cates.

that a negro had been shot by an

this city say that the two negroes
were playing cards in a hut near the
edge of the town and a dispute arose
about 25 cents that one claimed the
other owed him. Some few words
followed in which some dirty epithets
were used, and the negro that claimed
the money drew a pistol and fired
one time at his opponent, the ball
striking him in the right side of the
abdomen. The negro is now in a pre

that he cannot possibly recover,

right shoulder, inflicting a wound
ahout four inches deep. At this

CURRENT COMMENT.
Secretary Herbert and Post
master General Wilson are in Eu
rope. The battles of the Democracy
are being chiefly fought this year by
those who are not able to spend their
summers in Europe. New York Jour
nal, Dem. j
Hanna's pretence that the
Belshazzar fund is poverty-stricken
is the 'first indication that be is a
humorist. Everybody knows that
he has carte blanche to draw on the
patriotic pronts ot tne oond syndi
cate, as well as on the fat funds of
the protected monopolies. But if
Hanna needs a joke he must have
it, of course. New York . World
gold), Dem.
If we concede the right to
bolt, it doesn't follow that the bolter
is entitled to carry off his party's
colors. When one has left the Demo
cratic party, why should he insist
upon being called a Democrat? Why
any one whb really wishes McKinley
to be elected desires to be called a
Democrat is a thing that for the life
of us we cannot understand, upon
any theory consistent with candor
and fair dealing. Richmond Dis-
patch, Dem.
"In 1873," says the Indian-
apolis Journal, "the quantity of sil
ver produced was eleven times as
great' as tbe quantity of gold,
whereas now it is nineteen times as
great. It does not require much in
tellect to see in this sufficient reason
for the depreciation of silver." This
reasoning does not hold, contempo
rary. In 1820 the productive ratio
ot silver to gold was about 35 to 1,
and in 1800, or before, it was about
50 to 1, and the monetary ratio was
15 or 15 to 1 in all that time. The
two ratios appear to have been inde
pendent of each other heretofore.

Anxiously watch declining health of
their daughters. So many are cut off
by consumption m early years that
there is real cause tor anxiety. In
the early stages, when not beyond
the reach of medicine, Hood's Sarsa-
parilla will restore the quality and
quantity of the blood and thus give
good health. Read the following letter:
"It is but just to write about my
daughter Cora, aged 19. She was com
pletely run down, declining, had that tired
feeling and friend's said she would not
live over three months. She had a bad
and nothing seemed to do her any good.
I happened to read about Hood's Sarsapa-
rilla and had her give it a trial. From the
very first dose she began to get better.
After taking a few bottles she was com
pletely cured and her health has been the
best ever since." Mrs. Addie Peck,
12 Railroad Place, Amsterdam, N. Y.
"I will say that my mother has not
stated my case in as strong words as I
would have done. Hood's Sarsaparilla
has truly cured me and I am now well.'
Cora Peck, Amsterdam, N. Y.
