VOL. I MORAVIAN FALLS, N. C, MARCH, 1896. NO. 10. THE YELLOW-JACKET. Published Monthly. 15 cents per year in advance. E. DON LA WS, EDITOR. Entered at Moravian Falls, N. C. as 2nd class mail matter. The Blue Cross opposite your name on your paper is to re mind you that your subscrip tion is out and that, unless you renew, you will receive no more .papers. The gold standard will destroy civilization. The biggest issue the Democrats have to point to is the bond issue. G rover's "prosperity" seems to be too short to tie to. These are glorious gold-standard times. Why don't you yell? Grover doesn't want the green backs retired any worse than the people want to retire him. i Did you ever compare what you have done for your party with what your party has done for you? j It seems that the party of Jack son and Jefferson has gone out of the principle business. Prices of products of labor, as a whole, are now the lowest average ever known, another pointer for gold bugs. If there are such good things for the people in a gold-basis -why in the Tom Walker don't they begin to turn up? The opinion that money must possess intrinsic value to make it good is the most God-forsaken, contemptable idea that ever en tered the brain of a sensible man. We'll bet it nearley killed those Democratic Congressmen to see a tariff bill passed right under their noses and not get to make a speech upon it." No wonder Grover doesn't want to' run to be three presidents ; he knows he wouldent be "in it" any more than a one-legged man would be at a foot race. Democratic free trade laws are more destructive to the sheep in dustry of our country - than were the wolves a hundred years ago. The only wool industry the demys beleive in is growing wool over people's eyes. This Democratic Administration has issued $202,000,000 of bonds upon the people of this nation. That means a debt of about 18.70 on the head of every voter, not counting interest. This great party of econemy (?) is a daisy, ain't it? The man who holds that the sil ver dollar is kept at par by being redeemable on demand in gold, is a bigger fool than Thompson's colt. The silver dollar is a stan dard coin of the United States and is not redeemable in any oth er form of currency. A one hundred million dollar gold reserve set apart from other funds is a piece of torn foolery from start to finish; there 1 cing no provision of law authorizing it. But have to keep it up to pre serve "credit" you know. Yes, vou know. In answer to an inquiry jrom a subscriber who wants to know when times will get better, we will say: Whenever the people quit electing gold-bugs,- straddlebugs and humbugs for their leaders, and learn to place their confidence in men who have back-bones like crowbars and hearts that beat in unison with the common people. From the common people of all parties all over the country comes the one cry for more money, for the money of the people, the money of "our daddies," and more, the money of the Constitution silver and this cry must be heeded or our nation must languish ; as the immortal Jefferson expressed it, "we aredependent on the com mon people for the continuence of our liberties. " Retire the gold-bugs, and let the greenbacks alone. - The Democratic theory on fi nance is to borrow yourself rich. t rriii rn i jfmno.rjiTir. nn rr.v o A JL m office seekers, and what would you have left? The next President of the Uni ted States will not be a gold-bug. Stick a pin here. The man who is i cross between 4 a goldbug and a silverbug may be saff y put down as a humbug. When it comes to shooting off offical messages, or to duck shoot ing, Grover is strictly "in it" but where danger lurks and valor is needed, you find him "substitu ted" there. The difference between Grover now and when he was sheriff of Buffalo, is: Then, he killed men by breaking their necks ; now, his financial policy forces them to kill themselves by starvation. Cleveland has demonstrated to the world during the present ses sion of Congress that he can issue more messages to the minute than any other man that has ever been president. v The onley-way that Europe can be forced to recognize silver is for the United States to act indepen dently in the matter, and open her mints to silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. The national Conventions of the five political parties will be held as follows: Prohibition, Pitsburg, May 27; Republican, St.Louis, June 17; Democratic, Chicago, July 7; Populist, St.Louis, July 22; Silverparty, St.Louis, July An exchange says a Nebraska man, who had a carload of horses to sell, wrote a friend in Washing ton City asking whether it would be advisable to try to sell them there. The friend replied : "The people of Washington ride bicy cles ; street cars are run y elec tricity, and the government is run by jackasses. No demand for horse-flesh."
