ittttttr- 1 VOL. I MORAVIAN FALLS, N.'C, DEC, 1895. NO. 7. THE YELLCM-JACKET. Published Monthly. 15 CENTS PER YEAR IN ADVANCE. R. DON LAWS, EDITOli. Entered at Moravian Falls, N. C. as 2nd class mail matter. It is said the democratic party has seven principles 4 4 five loaves and two fishes.' ' . The man who will let a partv boss lead him around by the nose ought to have died before he was n. Say, brother, this is Democrat ic free trade prosperity. How do you like it? Whoopee ! -window glass has gone up!- GLorious prosperity! W-e-1-1 why don't you smile? If there was nothing more to be said against the gold standard than that it took a sale of bonds to sustain it that would be enough. Prosperity is here : a man can get a bigger job of work to do now for 50 cents than he could, twenty years ago for a dollar. There is more honesty in the wag of a dog's tail than there is in all of Cleveland's messages since he has been presidents High priced money means low priced products. Low priced products means tlpw wages and low wages means hunger and rags. Just arived. A small job lot of prosperity. Nails at 5cts. per ft, and leather at 50. Corn wanted at 20 cents a bushel. Farmers, teioice ! Had you ever thought that The human race seems to getting mightier and meaner. be i Money makes the mare go mighty cheap, too, these hard times.. If we are on the way to pros perity it is the ' coldest trail we ever followed. Grover had to send out a half dozen substitutes to preach his gold doctrine. A democrat is one who be lieves believes well, one who believes in nothing in particular. If every laborer got the results of his toil how would the idler live? If you want to see a cross be tween a pole cat and a buzzard just hunt up a settlement liar. Grover is a first class winder. He has about wound up the Dem ocratic party. The politician who works him self into power by making false promises is a fraud of the first order and a constant danger to society. -The Democrats have done more and are doing more to make this a nation of paupers and million aires than anv administration since the founding of the government. The gold standard will soon do more devilment to this country in the destruction of the value of property than" the loss of prop erty was by the civil war, yet we hear men calling it a wise and honest system. Artemus Ward was once asked the p eople in the world believing I wnat his principles were, and he a lie would not make it so. They all believed at one time that tl earth was flat, but it was rou: nevertheless. : ror one dollar. Formerly you oould hire but one man for one day for two dollars. Are men depreciating? replied:' "Principles?" What do you mean by principles? I have not got any principles. I'm in the show business." So is the democratic party in the show busi- You can hire two men one day I ness showing its incapacity to run the government. It takes too much corn and too much cotton or tobacco to buy a dollar these times It would puzzle the arch demons of hell to invent a more dishonest scheme to carry an election than did the Democrats in the Tenth District in Georgia at the last elec tion. An election was held in the Tenth in 1894 which resulted in Black, Dem. being counted in o verTom Watson, Pop. Watson threatened to contest, but the Dems. preferred & new election rather than allow their glaring frauds to go before Congres. But in the new election ther added in sult to injury by repeating their same old game with additional rascality and corruption. They were so near out of material that they voted negroes over and over, each time under different names. If one was seen with a Watson ticket he was bulldozed and final ly pushed aside. When Pops, went to vote they were refused as the Dems. had voted negroes in their names. Watson will contest the election, it is said. It is enough to make the horses laugh to hear a one-gallus, copper as breeches "farmer" yelling for "sound money." Of all the crimes committed by the democratic Administration the bond issue is the worst, from the fact it imposes" a debt on future generations, thereby taking undue advantages of children un born, forcing them to asume the responsibilities of debt at the be ginning of life in innocence It is one of the most damnable acts ever committed by any govern ment; but the coffers of million aires must be kept filled, it mat ters not how nor from whence it comes. We would have a much hap pier people and a much better country, if we would try as hard to recover our stolen liberties as we do to recover our horse that is stolen, or our watch that is purloined, or our purse that is robbed. .1
