NOT EVEN THE MINISTRY ES
CAPES.
It has been the deliberate policy of the
leaders of the Populist party to break
down the influence of every public man
who did not fall down and crawl upon
his knees to them. Not even the minis
ters of the gospel have escaped the de
traction of these new leaders of small
calibre, who know that their only chance
of retaining influence is in decrying bet
ter and abler men. It was bad enough
when the whole pack of them criticized
the late Senator Vance, and other hon
orable men who were as high
above them in devotion to the best
interests of the people as the heaven
is high above the earth. It is
infinitely worse when they seek to de
stroy the influence of a Christian min
ister.
Rev. C. A. G. Thomas is the pastor of
the Baptist church in Greensboro. He
ns no politician. Writing to a friend in
another State, he gave his opinion of the
late Legislature. It was not compli
mentary. It was his private opinion,
and was published by his friend to let
others know the opinion of an impartial
citizen. The publication made the Cau
casian editor very mad, and below is the
silly and wholly unjustifiable way in
which he insults an honest Baptist min
ister. No condemnation of such methods
can be too severe. The Caucasian says :
“rev. c. a. g. thomas recently wrote a
rigmarole relative to the representatives
of the respectable people of the State, in
which the main effort seems to be to
leave an impression to the effect that he
has at one time or another seen the name
of Darwin on the back of a book. We
seriously suspect that thomas has charge
of a Democratic church.”
ONE WAY TO RAISE THE PRICE
OF WHEAT.
The Agrarians of Germany, who have
been full of unrest for many years, pro
duced by the low price of wheat that is
sent into the Empire from all countries,
have adopted the following as their plan
of relief and are urging its adoption by
the Reichstag:
“Since the government cannot, be
cause of its commercial treaties, prohibit
the importation of grain, or impose a
high protective tariff upon it, let it make
itself the sole importer by prohibiting
private commerce therein; and let it sell
stocks of grain, as the needs of the coun
try may require, at prices fixed by the
Executive, but never below a rate at
which domestic grain can profitably be
grown and sold. This, the Agrarians
argue, would not prohibit nor abridge
commerce, and so would not violate any
treaties; yet it would afford to the farm
ers ample protection, and it would mate
rially add to the revenues of the State.”
The most influential German paper in
America is the Staats Zeitung. It earn
estly supported Mayor Strong in his suc
cessful campaign. It now says that
Mayor Strong has irretrievably lost his
prestige, and that he is decidedly too
small for his place and situation.
Highest of all in Leavening Power.— Latest U. S. Gov’t Report
ABSOLUTELY PURE
LET US HAVE THE TRUTH.
The Caucasian, commenting on the
mortgage law, says:
“But whatever the law does or does not
do, it is a fraud. It is not justly en
titled to publication. It appears among
the laws through some shrewd schem
ing and manipulation—and that this
scheming and manipulation was done by
some Democrat, after the bill had been
tabled in the House, can scarcely be
doubted. A Democrat confesses to have
drawn the bill at the instance of a Bal
timore organization, and says that an ex
judge was connected with it.”
The truth will finally come out, and
all the newspaper misrepresentation can
not prevent it, for all time. The above
statement is a tissue of falsehoods. The
law was not drawn by a Democrat, no
Democratic lawyer “confesses” what is al
leged, nor was the “scheming and manip
ulation” done by a Democrat.
Let us have the truth. A Democrat
introduced a bill forbidding prefereuces
in assignments; the Finance Committee,
through Hileman, Populist, chairman,
amended the bill to forbid all mort
gages; the bill was then tallied on mo
tion of a Democrat; the Republican
Chief Clerk was caught going to the
office of the Enrolling Clerk to have the
bill enrolled; he was told that the bill
had been tabled by a Democrat, and
promised ‘ ‘to go and see about it;” it
was enrolled by a Populist Karolling
Clerk; it was certified, “examined and
found correct” by Senators Moody and
Starbuck, both Republicans, and R pre
sentativea Cox (Rep.) of Pitt, Taylor
(Pop.) of Cumberland, and Walker
(Pop.) of Rockingham. After this cer
tification, the Speaker and Lieutenant-
Governor, relying upon the Republicans
and Populists, who certified its correct
ness, signed the act.
These are the plain facts, and no
amount of noise .and falsehood will wipe
them out. If a Democrat used money
to buy the Republican Chief Clerk or
the Populist Enrolling Cierk, let him
and the clerks be bath exposed and pun
ished. Let no guilty man escape !
MORE OF HUSSEY’S RASCALITY.
The Caucasian prints this week an
article one column in length from Wash
ington City, written by John B. Hussey,
the newly appointed private secretary to
Senator Butler. Upon evidence already
printed we have shown that he deserves
to be in the penitentiary instead of hold
ing an office given by North Carolina’s
Senator. In addition to the other ras
cality of which he has recently been
guilty, a prominent citizen of Catawba
writes:
“When Hussey commenced practising
law he located at Newton. Had notes
placed in his hands for collection. Col
lected the money and kept it. He kept
several hundred dollars of Sid Houston’s
money. Also Joseph Bost’s. He ought to
have been dealt with then, and made to
surrender his license.
We are not shooting our ammunition
at such sorry game as Hussey. We print
this additional evidence of his venality
to let the people know the character of
the men who furnish the matter which
the readers of the Caucasian are asked
to believe. With such thieves and con
spirators as John B. Hussey contri
buting to its columns, the Caucasian ex
pects the people to believe what it says.
A man as corrupt as John B. Hussey
would not get a position on the News
and Observer, or any other respectable
paper to clean out its spittoons. The
Senator-editor of the Caucasian makes
Hussey his private secretary, and chosen
correspondent. He formerly signed bis
articles “Jonathan Edwards.” Since he
has become private secretary his articles
are signed with the initials “J. B. H.”
Ex Senator Doolittle, of Wisconsin,
who was a warm friend of President
Lincoln, in a lecent letter, states that in
1867, Samuel B. Ruggles, a delegate
from this country to the monetary con
ference called by France, grossly misrep
resented his country in representing it
as favoring a gold standard. In 1878,
eleven years later, the United States call
ed a monetary conference. Mr. Herzog,
of Switzerland, now President of that
country charged that this country was a
warm supporter of gold. Mr. Doolittle
says the charge was true then. We
quote:
“Had the United States in 1867 in the
Paris conference, as it ought to, stood
with France and the Latin union for
bi-metallism there would never have been
any demonetization of silver by Ger
many or the Scandinavians States, and
the monetary revolution from the double
standard to gold alone would never have
been attempted in this generation, in my
opinion.”
This is a most important piece of his
tory. It shows that as far back as 1867
the Republicans and bankers had deter
mined upon a gold standard. At that
time silver was worth 1.02, and yet the
deliberate purpose to seen re a gold stand
ard was entered upon by a duly accredit
ed representative from this country.
The News and Observer, Thurday, April 11, ißqs.
The United States consumed 632,338
more bales of cotton for the year ending
April sth, 1895, than the previous year
up to April, 1894. Os the 9,141.962
bales of cotton marketed to date the
Southern mills have taken 535,000 bales, i
and the Northern mills 1,862,127 bales.
The Northern mills fell off 600,000 bales
from last year, and the Southern mills
increased 32,500 bales. Nearly six mil
lion of the nine million bales raised were
exported.
The Rockingham Index, which claims '
to lie independent, makes l’ght of the)
denunciation of the assignment law,
seeking to make it appear that a Demo
crat did it, whereas no Democrat ever
drew any such bill as the one forged
through. The Index cannot be regarded
as “independent” if it follows plainly in
the incorrect statements of Republican
and Populist papers.
Dr. Lansing apologized to the New
England Conference for slandering the
President, He should have investigated
the truth of his statements before assert
ing them publicly. It is better to be
safe than sorry.
Holton said a day or two ago that co- ,
operation was only designed to get in
line with the Republican party all those
Populists who will not actually wear
Republican uniforms.
Mr. W. Jennings Demoresr, who died
on Tuesday, had for many years contrib
uted large sums to the Prohibition
national party, and his motives have
been of the purest.
A Card From Mrs. Armistead Jones.
North Carolina Monumental asso.,
April 10, 1895.
To the Editor of the News and Observer.
Having been asked to day if the Mon
umental Association contributed to last j
night’s banquet, I write to ask you
please to say through your paper to the
people of the State that the baDquet, as i
I understand it, was given by the State
officers, not one cent having been con
tributed by our association. While we
appreciate the compliment paid to Col.
Coonan and his meu, the builders of the
monument, I trust the peopie of the
State will understand that it was given
entirely by private subscription.
