CM 4v mm VOL. II MORAVIAN FALLS, N. C, DECEMBER, 1896. I0. 7 THE YELLOW-JACKET. PUBLISHED MONTHLY. 15 CENTS PER YEAR, IN ADVANCE. E. DON LAWS, - - EDIT0e7 ENTERED AT MORAVIAN FALLS, N. C. AS SECOND-CLASS MATTER. When you see "stamped" on your paper the words, "Your sub scription has expired," you will receive no more papers, unless you renew. We will not send the pa per "on time. Please renew and go with us through another year. It looks now like Democracy had about had its day. "'A western man or bust and they busted' Coxey is on the "march" again marching out of the Peoples party. A little over two months and the great fisherman will go ang ling in his own canoe. And the great Duck Shooter has sent up one more message to Congress. If you or your neighbor need a sewing machine, read our offer in another column. Grover shot 61 ducks near Georgetown, S. C. on the 16th inst. An exchange says the Demo crats wanted hide, head and tail and got nothing. Thousands of Americans are offering to volunteer to help fight for Free Cuba. Nearly two months since the e lection, yet the earth continues to revolve. Cleveland " discovered' ' a sur plus in the Treasury and then went off duck shooting. Any fool can point out the evils in our government but to find a remedy for these evils is quite another matter. Edison's great discovery of giving signt to the blind came m a little too late to be of any service to the Democratic party. E ven Secretary Carlyle has got the flying machine craze in his head. He wants Congress to appropriate $10,000 for exper imenting with air ships. Notwithstanding all its bad traits, the Democratic party de serves some sympathy, for it has been ridden so much for office that the skin is all off its back. Those fellows who missed an office this time and have to go to work for a living have the con solation that they wont have to work under a Democratic ad ministration. There seems to be every pros pect of a great uprising in China, which may culminate in the overthrow of the Chinese dy nasty and make Li Hung Chang Emperor. Uncle Sam may have some fun when he begins to interfere in the Cuban war. It is hinted that France, Russia and Holland all have their fingers on the trigger. Among the nations of anti quity it was customary when people died to preserve them, but the edict of modern civiliza tion is when a thing dies to burry or burn it. The official record of the en tire 27 months of the Gorman Tariff shows a deficiency of $122, 853, 382. It ought to be called a "tariff for deficits," instead of a "tariff for revenue only." It seems that there is going to be music in the wind some where. It is reported that the De Punt powder mills of New Jersey are working a double force of hands to fill an order for 500 tons of powder placed by the U. S. Government. Read the ''Message" in this paper Eli Tucker is behind times again. Suppose you begin the new year by subscribing for the Yel low Jacket. "There are many false proph ets going to and fro in the land, who declare that the Tariff ben efits only the manufacturer, and that it injures the farmer." This is some of Daniel Webster's talk. We see it stated that there as a decided coldness manifes- ed, at the meeting of Congress, y the Free Silver Senators towards those , of the sound money faith. This new method of advancing the cause of bimet alism, which is practiced, not only by U: S. Senators, but by common people as well, might properly be called the social boy-cott. Morse of Mass. (Rep.) intro duced fybill in the House a few days ago prohibiting the sale of intoxicating drinks in the Cap itol and Capitol grounds. The measure passed 104 to 5. Two Republicans and three Democrats opposed it. Morse deserves a monument as high as the Capitol, when he dies, and those fellows who op posed the bill ought to be sent to Keeley at once. The sale of intoxicants in the National Cap itol is a scandal and a disgrace. When American jobbers be gin to make out their invoices to American retailers in British currency . s. d.) , as is some times the case in this country, the patriotic American retailer should transfer his account to a house that is American enough to use the American monetary system. Dollars and cents are good enough for plain honest Americans. But some Ameri cans, who have the dollars, lack the sense. Amer. Economist.
