tip" Cockran on Slaveholders.
Will you submit to this conspiracy
between the professional farmers,
the farmers who cultivate the quar
rels of their neighbors, farmers who
labor with their jaws, Populist agi
tators of the West, and the unre
conciled slave-holders of the South ?
This is 1 a conspiracy , between pro
fessional farmers, who want to pay
low wages, and the unreconciled
slave-holders, who would like to
pay no wages at all. (Extract from
the speech of Bourke Cockran, de
livered in Sew York August 18tb-)
ANOTHER OBJECT LES30H.
1 .
These are days when the object
lesson figures more or less in poli
tics, but bete is an object lesson tbat
is an object lesson. We clip from the
dispatches published yesterday:
Chic AG), Octooer 22. There have
been exciting days in the wheat market.
bat to-day a outranked anything of re-
c;nt date and probably in many yeais A
. veritable panic existed at the close and
millions of bushels were poored on the
mirket, prices catting no figure in the
matter. Tiht money was the crv. Tne
cash wheat situation has become the all
, important factor. Money rates are high
erand no one wishes to undertake the
responsibility of carrying wheat under
these conditions. The early market was
weak, cables coming lower and foreign
ers selling. . Closing English and conti
nental quotations were all lower. The
Cincinnati Price Current reported a fa
vorable week for the crop. December
wheat opened from 74 io IZJic told
becween - 74V and 70 Wc closing at
IMc : under yestetday. - Cash
wheat. was weak and 47c. lower.
On the same day the London cable
announced that the Bank of England
bad raised the rate of discount from
3 to 4 per cent. Oa the same day the
Bank of England advanced its rate
of discount one cent, money became
tighter In the English market, the
demand for which fell off not only
in England, but on tbe Continent
the price tumbled in tbe Chicago
market, and a panic which basn
been equalled in years ensued. For
tunes were lost in the fall, as for
tunes had been made on the rise a
short time before; .
- This demonstrates one thing, and
that is that the advance in the price
of wheat and other grain which sym
pathizes with wheat was doe quite as
much to speculation as to the short
age in the world's supply, which, al
- though it exists, is Itself a matter of
speculation, more or Jess, as to its
proportions. English and American
buyers .were acting on the short
age and began to gamble on wheat
without waiting for definite and reli
able report?, trusting to get in on the
flood tide and dump on the greener
ones before the ebb came. It came
sooner than they anticipated and
some of the more reckless got caught
in the undertow. Tbis wiU make
them more careful and the probabili
ties are that it will be some time be
fore wheat jumps four cents a bushel
in one day. The rapidity with which
it went up and down shows the finger
of the speculator and that the: law of
supply and demand was cot a factor
in the case at all.
That is one object lesson which
demonstrates that it isn't the farmer
who ii in this thing upon which he
has been so much congratulated by
the gold organs, but the speculator
who has ma Je the profits if he .was
fortunate enough to sell in time. The
farmers, except those who were able
to hold their wheat, were pot in it be
cause most of -them were compelled
to market their crops early to meet
their debts, and did not - get more
than 45 or 59 cents a bushel for their
wheat.
But there is another object lesson
cf more importance than that for it
is of much greater import not only
to tbe farmer but to the country at
large, and to the world. - ''Tight
money was the cry," as stated in the
dispatch which we quote, and to this
was attributed the slump in the mar
ket and the panic which followed.
Chicago is the greatest grain market
in the United States. Millions npon
millions of bushels change bands in
a day, and yet m one day .the bot
tom is knocked out of the. market
and wheat tumbles four cents a
bushel and everything else that sym
pathized with wheat in proportion,
and all because money got tight in a
day. Coincident with this tightness
cdmes the announcement of tbe ad
vance on the rate of discount by the
Bank of England which made money
tight on the other side. How does
this tightness of money in Chicago
pin out with the assertionof an
abundance of money in this country,
the assertion that everywhere meets
the advocate of an expansion of the
currency?
If there be an abundance of money
where is it?v In the business centers
or in the vaults of the money man
ipulators? Evidently not in .. the
business centers, or Chicago would
not . have suffered from a money
stringency when she so much needed
the money. Where were the $70,
000,000 in gold . which it is said has
come into this country to pay for the
wheat tbat was bought to be ship
ped? Was that in Chicago? If it
was it would have helped tbe wheat
bandlers ot that city very much when
they were crying for more money. It
is more than likely that these wheat
handlers will admit that there is not
too much money. In the country, and
it is not oatjf tbe way to imagine
that 80" wouldn't obi
c naa . to come
through the free coinage of silver at
a ratio of 16 to 1. That is an obisct
esson for them and for other people,
too.
But here is another object lesson,
in which not only the wheat grower
of this country and the wheat buyer
and seller, but the people of the
world who eat bread, are interested.
The same day on which wheat fell in
Chicago the Bank of England ad
vanced itSt rate of discount, and Eu
ft
ropean buyers held up in their or
ders. Result: leas wheat imported
into European countries, shorter
stocks over there, which will enable
holders to advance prices and make
bread eaters pay more for the bread
they buy, so that when the Bank of
England raised its rate of discount it
cot only throttled the grain market
but laid additional tribute on every
one who buys a J oaf of bread, and
yet they tell us that the system
which enables one money institution
in England to do that, and also
knock the bottom out of the wheat
market in this country in one day, is
a good thing for us and a good thing
for the working man, who is told
that he should work and vote to per
petuate it. .
With a bimetallic instead of the
single standard the money volume
could cot be thus suddenly contract
ed and no one institution on either
side of tbe Atlantic could so control
it as to strangle-the market on one
side and precipitate a panic on tbe
other. If this, object lesson which
we have here quoted does -not argue
forcibly and eloquently for bimetal
lism, there is no virtue in "object
essons." .7'

Although intimidation of voters
was a very common thing in our
elections when the protective tariff
was the issue it was never attempted
to the same extent, that it is being
attempted in this campaign. Then
it was only by the employers who
were interested in high t4rtff legisla
tion and coerced, when they could,
their employes to Vote for the party
which would enact the legislation
they desired, but in this campaign
we not only have manufacturers who
want more protection doing that, but
others who are opposed to the free
and unlimited coinage of silver and
want McKlnley elected because the
Republican party is pledged to the
perpetuation of the gold standard.
This coercion does not always take
the shape of an absolute 'order to
vote for McKinley.but is frequently
effected by indirection which is prac
tically as coercive as an absolute or
der would be. ":; : W -i '. : v
A few days ago we called atten
tion to the enforced resignation of
Mr. Hood, the clerk and storekeeper
of the .Cumnock Coal' Company, in
Chatham county, for the sole reason
that he would cot agree to desert the
Democratic party and vote for Mc
Kinley. ,For the honor of N jrth
Carolina it may be said that it was
not a North Carolinian who wielded
the cudgel of coercion there, but a
Pennsylvanian.
A few days ago Mr.,John Bern
hardt, the local manager of ajamber
mill, at Colletsville, in Caldwell
county, which is owned by a Penn
sylvania syndicate, was discharged,
because he was a Democrat support
ing Wm. J. Bryan. - The President
of the company who discharged him
showed his; animus against the
Democrats and his interest in Mc
Kinley by bringing with him four
men to make speeches, some of
whom made very offensive, speeches
to the negroes and told them they
must look to the North and do what
their Northern friends told them
to do.
: That kind of business might work
in some portions of Pennsylvania,
where some of the working men are
held in a species of bondage but
little removed from serfdom, but it
witl, cot work in North Carolina,
where men put a higher estimate on
their manhood, and where they will
resent such arrogant and tyrannical
dictation.

The Republican managers of the
campaign in this State are making
herculean efforts ' to carry it and
they have enlisted the penitentiaries
and will the graveyards if they can do
it. There are doubtless thousands of
illegal voters registered. Some of
these managers admit illegal regis
tration, boast of it as an evidence of
their zeal and smartness, and bra
zenly claim that this will enable
them to carry the State. An incident
has recently occurred in Davidson
county, as told by a correspondent of
the Raleigh News and Observer,
wntcb shows to what scandalous ex
tremes they are going to secure
votes. There isa negro in that
county who was in 1888 sentenced to
six months' labor on the public roads
for larceny, which disfranchised him
under the law. - He worked out his
sentence But they wanted his vote
and to get him registered they had to
have his disability removed, and, ap
plied to the couit, which was presid
ed over by Judge Green. The pro-
ceedings are thus reported by the
correspondent:
"J. Ray McCrary, Esq., Repablican
candidate for the House, represented the
petitioner. John Craver, W. F. Hender
son, the f itherof the Repablican party,'
Allen Jones, Zsb Waltzsr, candidate for;
Attorney General, were sworn as wit
nesses. Craver said the character of John
Adams was good. Henderson and Jones
did not know. Waltzer said he thought
tbe characterofthe petitioner was good.
Adamant owli1" aforesaid McCrarv,
STng that the evidence was not snm-
e ent and leaner thar-U2 mD'C cneot
would not be restored to citizei
allowed to vote the Repablican ticket.
got somewhat excited, jumped up and
rushed to tbe clerk's desk and asked
that he be sworn himself. Whereupon
Waltzer took charge of the case and ex
amined McCrary in behalf of his (Mc
Crarys) client. On being asked if he
knew tbe character of John Adams, be
said he had known him all bis life and
bis character was first class: Tbe pre
siding judge then requested McCrary to
draw me judgment, and tbe negro was
thus restored to citizenship, which he
bad lost by reason of being too intimate
with other people's property. Taken in
all, it was one of the most disgusting
scenes ever witnessed in the court
house." : ,
The scandalous feature of this is
that, whle some Republicans who
were summoned to testify to the
good character of this convict de
clined to do so, his disability was re
moved upon the testimony of a can
didate for a State office and the at
torney of the convict, whose vote
the - Republicans wanted. It was
done, and that convict is now a full
fledged voter. Would a man's pocket
book be safe in such a crowd ?
A farmer in York county. Pa.,
writing to the Philadelphia -i?wi
for himself and other farmers, in re
ference to' the gold standard for
which the Record is so vigorously
contending, says: "We have .not
seen enough gold coin in the last ten
years to keep alive a tabby cat If fed
with the proceeds. Commenting
upon this in an explanatory way, the
Record says : "
- "For this reason they conclude that
gold constitutes no considerable part of
tbe money of the country, and they in
sist npon 'more greenbacks and Silver.'
' It is true, es Mr. Brenneman writes
that the money which passes from hand'
to hand in ordinary transactions in tbis
country is either paper or silver. Gold is
mainly held in reserve, hoarded or used
in international tranf actions. But it is
a mistake to suppose that gold does not
form a large and important part of our
store of . money. The total amount of
money in existence in this country, ac
cording to the latest Treasury statement,
was $3 315 031.833. Of this amount $1,
235,618 793 was coin or bullion, and $1,
120.012.53S was paper money. Tne esti
mate o the prrseot amount of gold coin
in tbe United States, as nearly as can be
ascertained by careful investigation by
Government experts, is (557 931. 823." '
This is neither an explanation nor
an answer, bat is practically an ad
mission of what this York county
farmer says, and a practical ad mis
sion of the fact tbat tbe gold money
of this country should not be in
cluded in the volume In circulation
"It is true," the Record admits, "that
the money which passes from hand
to hand in ordinary transactions i a
this country Is either paper or silver.
Gold is ' mainly held in . reserve
hoarded or used in international
transactions."' It may be incident,
ally observed that nine-tenths . of
our commerce,; by which , we
mean tbe business exchanges and
intercourse between our own people,
which is infinitely greater ; than the
business we do with all tbexther na
tions, comes under the bead of what
the Record calls "ordinary transac
tions," in which gold does not figure.
It was not so before the adoption of
.... . .
formed its part in the regular volume
ol money in circulation and was not
"held in reserve or used (solely) in
international transactions.' It was
money for all purposes then and was
used just as other money was. Then
it was not the money of the rich man
and ,the speculator, as it has been,
since the legislative discrimination of
1873 was made tts favor." -"
The Philadelphia ? Telegram re-
binds the Republican speakers thaf
they must' not la " the closing
sdays of the campaign forget the
protective tariff. And the "Demo
crats' who propose to vote for Mc-
Kinley or aid ; in his election indi
rectly by voting the Palmer Buckner
decoy ticket must not forget that
they are voting for' the protective
tariff. x
The Hannacrats may think they
are fooling the farmer by the rise
in wheat, but they are not fooling
him much, bufare making him mad,
for the rise didn't take place until af
ter most of the wheat had passed out j
ot his hands into the hands of the
speculators. "

Statesville Landmark: There

that there are many cases of illegal
registration in Statesville, and there
are. Here is an instance' of it: In
one ward in this town three young
colored men 'have registered. In
1891, five years ago, when a
school census of this town was
taken, these same boys or
their parents gave their ages
as 12, 13 and 15. There was
no reason why their ages should have
been given falsely at that time, and
it is to be presumed they tola th
truth about it. That being so, the
oldest of these would-be voters is
now only 20, the next 18 and the
next 17. - Yet they all registered and
expect to vote at the coming elec
tion. This is only one instance.
There are others plenty ot tbem--of
a similar character.

The railway world witnesses daily so
many piteous partings that weeping
travelers seldom attract official notice,
but Mr. t. A. Sala records an exception

civil war, and he was about departing
for America, as correspondent of a great

"My wife was bitterly opposed to my
going to America at all, and the idea'of
my traveling in a, country convulsed by
war so preyed npon her mind that she
became positively ilL Still she insisted
on coming to the railway terminus with
me, and a party of friends were on the
platform to give us a parting cheer.
"It was a desperate moment. I had
parted from all that was dear to me,
and had flung myself hi a very limp and
boneles3 maimer in a corner of the car

burly, bearded guard who thrust his

train starts, and you can get out and
give the lady another hug."

Anxiously watch declining health of
their daughters. So many are cut off
by consumption . in early years tbat
there is real cause for 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. Bead the following letter:
"It Is but just to write about my
daughter Cora, aged 19. She was com
pletely run down, declining, bad that tired
feeling, and friends said she would not
liye over three months.' She bad a bad
and nothing seemed to do her any good.
I happened to read abont Hood's Sarsapa-
rilla and bad 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 tbe
I .beet ever since." Mas. Addis 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 cared me and I am now well."
Cora Peck, Amsterdam, N. Y.
