The weekly Yellow Jack
et is one year old to day, and
feels pretty frisky for a yearl
ing, thank you.
We have obtained another
letter from the "Devil"
which will appear in a week
or so. It's a scorcher.
Since last issue we have
added over one hundred new
subscribers to our list for!
the weekly, Yellow? Jacket.
It begins to look like sec
tionalism was about dead
when northern republicans
invite the people down in
Dixie to their lovef easts.
The circulation of the Y.
J. continues to expand. It
now goes to every state in
the Union and also to the
Philippines.
If Bryan is sincerely a
gainst trusts why dont he
oppose the ballot trust?
Now don't break your neck
trying to answer.
The more personal abuse
the "aunties" heap upon
President McKinley the lar
ger his majority will be next
November.
The republican elephant
this year will not be side
tracked for the benefit of
any little one horse 4tanti"
shebang that happens to be
on the track. T
The hardest thing the ca
lamity party ever bumped
up agains't will be the full
treasury, high wages and
the large employment of la
bor that prevails today.
The editor who reported
that anrice factory in his va
cinjt stroyed byfire and a hundred
ns of ice reduced to ashes,
must undoubtedly have been
"aSimmons democrat.
We believe it a duty - that
every naan owes himself, his
God and his country ;to work
to' purify politics. - ' Make
partyism respectable1. Take
down'tyrants. So long as
'men -'stre countenanced who

katnit that tbev "may rule
by fraud' f and such as are
not ashamed - of J it'! our
and- our liberties in jeopardy,
Does not spell any
thing, but what we
started out to say was this: Do not send '
postage stamps on subscriptions to the
Y. J.; and when you send Money Orders,
have them drawn bit Wilkesboro, N. C,
Moravian Falls is not a M. O. office.
Kansas City Fourth of
July celebration is already
an assured success. On that
day the democrats and silver
republicans will hold their
convention there.
Williq ni t J. Bryanfis a
democrat "before taking,'
Grover Cleveland is a demo
crat 4 after taking," which
leads one to infer that the
last state of democracy is
worse than the first.
Wanted A democratic
paper that condems rotten
eggs and readshirts as ar
gument. We don't recollect
lever seeing anything ot the
kind therefore would like to
get hold of one to file. lib

You will find, in an article
on the inside of this paper
in which the type reads 3
cents, in speaking of the
price of cotton, when it was
ment 10 cts. It requires jtwo
figures to mate the price of
cotton under republican rule.
, It is now Clearly evident
that the democratic and re
publican parties will each
present a Bill to the people
for President this year and
it is still mdre evident that
the democratic Bill will not
pass" because he is the
very embodiment of bad
money.
We acknowledge the , re
ceipt fom Hon. Charles B.
Landis of Ind. of a copy of
his speech on the Roberts
case in the House of Repre
sentatives. Mr. Landis is an
able representative of the 9th
district and goes for every
fraud in his reach with a
bass ball bat.
vA subscriber in West Va.,
writes us that the republican
party in that state was nev
er in its history in so good
shape as it now is. He says
after it gets thru with decid
ing whom it is going to nom
inate for office, it will mop
un the entire surface, of
West Virginia with the

MARCH 29, J900.
Ham J. Bryan and the other
in cussing partisan election
laws . Bryan has proven by
his course that if he lived in
Kentucky he would today be
found fighting on the side of
the Goebelites and in behalf
of the GoebeJ: election law,
which for partisan taints
has but few equals and no
superior.
An office seeker who should
be elected for his candor, if j
for nothing else, makes this
unique announcement. I
want the office f or the moner
that is in it. I ain't patriot
enough to serve the state for
nothin'. I couldn't even if I
wanted to, with one ; wife,
two mortgages and eight
children. If elected I will
prove worthy of the trust;
If not, I don't know where
I'll get trust!"
The efforts of the demo
cratic editors and politicians
to make it appear that Pres
ident McKinley is 4 losing
ground ' ' and 4 growing weak
er" etc. and so on remind us
somewhat of the vlrshman
who tried to put the bull's
nose to the ground. They
might as well squeeze out
their little jokes and jeers
now for there will be no con
solation for them after the
6th of next November. Mr.
McKinley will be renomina
ted by the grandest party
that ever existed and re-elected
by increased majorities
ever7 where. Mr. Bryanite,
put that in your pipe and
smoke it. t
The democrats of North
Carolina have found their
man for Governor. His name
is Aycock and this is . the
way he talks: 4 The re are
three ways in which the dem
ocrats may rule by force,
by fraud or bys law. We
have ruled by force, we can
rule by fraud, but we want
to rule by law." This is a
parallel to the language of
Senator Tillman, who in the
United States Senate a few
days ago r said: 4 4 We stuffed
ballot boxes, we shot niggers,
we are not ashamed of it."
Mr. Democrat, aint you
proud of your party? Say t
Why don't you smile?

that North Carolina is capa
ble of producing something
worthy of the name of Re
