HOW THINGS LOOK FROM
OUR STAND POINT.
The Opinion of The Editor and the
Opinion ot Others which we
Can Endorse on the Various
Topics of the Day.
If a Democratic House with 148
majority refuaes to pass a free cola
age silver bill and they nominate a
President opposed tojfree silver, is it
reasonable to look to that party for
legislation in lavor of the old con
stitutional silver dollar? Hickory
Mercury.
Will the Democratic papers of this
county be kind enough to Inform
their readers that the Force bill was
defeated by a Republican Congress,
and the Free Coinage Silver bill de
feated by a Republican House. Speak
out gentlemen. It is no crime to
talk out in meetin'." Hickory Mer
cury.
. ,
The groat question of the Bourbon
Democracy of the South is now try-
ing to solve is, what shall we do to
saved? The solution, so far. is.
count the negro vote. In other
words, to use a Scriptural term ,
"The stone which the builders re-
jocted has become the head of the
corner." Hickory lorcnry.
The Democratic party are now
trying to capture financial reformers
by holding up and opposing State
banks as the panacea of all our ills.
Now we would like for thorn to tell
the people why a Democratic Con
gress voted down a resolution call"
ing for statistics concerning State
banks of issue. This resolution was
"laid on the table," for they did not
want the public to know the facts
about State banks. There would be
no going behind the damaging array
of facts and figures about that old
system of wild -cat banking.
LAUREL HILL ALLIANCE.
We have been sent a copy of some
re?olutions passed by Laurel Hill
Alliance in Richmond county. We
give what the Progressive Farmer
has to say about them :
We publish in this issue a recent
action of Laurel Hill Alliance, Rich
mond county. The first thing charg
ed is that "the attempt to convert
the Alliance into a political party at
Greensboro was largely successful."
The man who wrote that evidently
does not belong to the Alliance. At
least he was not at the Greensboro
meeting, for all who were there
know that partisan politics was not
discussed in the meeting. The St.
Louis Conference platform' was
adopted. This was done not by a
unanimous vote, but the opposition
was too small to amount to much.
The Omaha Convention adopted the
St. LoUis platform, with only a
slight addition. The Omaha Con
vention came very near converting
itself into an Alliance meeting by
its action in adopting the Alliance
platform.
Now let us see if partisan politics
made such a wide swath in the
Greensboro meeting. It is true that
several of the State officers and
members of committees are People's
party men and Republicans. But it
is also true that they are very well
divided among all parties. At least
five of the State officers are Demo
crats. Take the State Executive
Committee, who are among the most
important. Capt. S. B. Alexander,
Democratic Congressman in the
Sixth District, is Chairman of the
Executive Committee. Mr. J. S.
Johnston, Democrat, is a member.
Only one is a People's party man
Mr. Mewborne. bo tne .Executive
Committee is two-thirds Democratic.
Next we find the Judiciary Com
mittee, which is half Democratic.
On it are Elias Carr, Democratic
nominee for Governor, and A.
Leazar, Esq.. Clevelaud elector in
the Seventh District, and probably
one other Democrat. Does that
look like Democrats were ignored?
On the State Legislative Committee
we find Bros. R. J. Powell and J.J.
Young, Democrats, and N. C. Eng
lish, Prohibitionist. Col. H. A
Forney is the only People's party
man on it. Does that look like the
Greensboro meeting was a People's
party machine ? Brethren, you have
been misinformed. The facts are
against you. In addition to other
positions Capt. Alexander was elect
ed as one of the delegates to the
itcrtnational meeting. We repeat,
the la?ts are against the .declaration
of LaurelHfm lliance.
As to the charzV tht Jha State
Secretary, "makes his officehe
rendes vous for politicians and allows
them sccess to the addresses of offi
cers of the Alliance, there Is nothing
to sustain the charge. The members
of Laurel Hill simply haye been
misinformed. Further, no officer
of the State Alliance receives any
pay for expenses or for services frOm
the State Alliance during campaigns
for making political speeches. The
Laurel HiUr. Alliance have allowed
somebody tof work I on their, preju
dices and they', have. Innocently,
perhaps, made charges and publish
ed them that cannot be proven.
They are welcome to investigate as
much as they please, and they should
do this before they jump at conclu
sions hereafter. The Laurel Hill
brethren should remember that it is
just as likely that they are mistaken
as it 1b for oner peopxo uj iw.
AW INSTRUCTIVE CAMPAIGN.
The bright young men of thid
country should not neglect the dis
cussion growing out of the present
campaign.
Never before have we had so many
economic issues, and never before
have they been so fully argued on
both sides. The tariff and other
matters of taxation; the single nd
double standards; the currency and
its circulation; our banking system;
the income tax; the rights of capital
and labor; reciprocity and various
other subjects are now engaging the
attention of the masses. It Is equiv
alent to a good business education
to study these questions and under
stand them in a general way, and it
is for thi reason that we uige our
young men to take advantage of the
Instruction which can be so easily
pleasantly obtained by keeping up
with the progress of this campaign.
It is a relief to see old war and
sectional issues dropped, with the
exception of the proposed force bill.
A campaign in whiah economic pro
blems are at the front bring into
play the intelligence of the people,
and the voters who are unable to
comprehend anything beyond an ap
peal to sectional prejudices ore nat
urally being pushed to the rear.
We are not so sanguine as to ex
pect the seedy final settlement of the
questions now under investigation,
but It is encouraging to see millions
of our citizens studying them, and
we cannot help believing that the
educationpl results of such a cam
paign will be in the highest degree
conducive to the promotion of our
political and business.intereiit?. At
lanta Constitution.
Who is it that is brushing aside
old sectional issues and pushing their
advocates to the rear? Who is it
that is forcing to the front new and
living issues and making it a cam
paign of education? 13 it the Dem
ocratic party? Is it the Republican
party? No, it is the Peoples' party
the party of live issues, the party
of the people.
A GREAT MISTAKE-
We regret to knew that quite a
number of good members of the Al
liance have been misled by Demo
cratic and Republican politicians.
They have been told that the meet
ing of the State Alliance at Greens
boro was a "Third party meeting."
There is absolutely no truth in this.
There were staunch and enthusiastic
Democrats and Republicans there as
delegates. Some of them are among
the new list of officers and members
of committees, as can be seen by
reference to the first page of this
paper. The St. Louis Conference
platform adopted is precisely the
National Alliance platform of 1889.
The action of the Omaha Conven
tion when it adopted the same plat
form, with only slight additions,
has nothing to do with the Alliance
meeting. If the Democratic party
had adopted it the result would have
been the same. There is no patent
on the Alliance platform. Indeed
every member of the Alliance knows
that we have been trying to get some
party to adopt our platform all the
time. Now that the Peoples' party
has done so, there are Alliancemen
who are mad because it did so.
Brethren do not allow politicians
to mislead yon. When they mis
represent the Alliance it is not done
in your interest, but the object is to
weaken the Order. If the Demo
cratic party had adopted the plat
form at Chicago, opponents of the
Tiartv would have chareed that the
Alliance was a Democratic machine
and endeavored to eet all members
holding different political opinions
to pull out of the Order. What en
couragement is it to a party to adopt
onr nlatform if we 0 to kicking it
right away? Progressive Farmer.

Staff Correspondence.
On last Thursday moimng, Sep
tember 15th, a crowd of about one
thousand people assembled at War
saw to hear the above named speak
ers. Col. Harry Skinner was expected
to be present; a telegram from .Mr.
Skinner, stating that the people at
Bethel would not let him off was
received by Mr. H. J. Faison. This
caused some disappointment, but
when it was announced that Dr.
Thompson, of Onslow, was there,
his friends felt that all was well.
About 12 M. Mr. Hill of Warsaw,
introduced Hon. B. F. Grady, and
that was the beginning of a discus
sion that last about six hours
Mr
Grady discussed the tariff question,
making that the one main issue.
Mr. Grady is calculated to make a
good canvass. He looked well, and
we are inclined to think that he
ooked setter when the speaking be.
gan than he did when it ended.
Mr. Koonce followed Mr. Graily.
Mr. Koonce is small in statue, but it
generally conceded that he is
able to stand his ground. Mr.
Koonce makes a good impression
and we predict that he will continue
to make the campaign lively for his
opponent.
Dr. Cyrus W. Thompson next ad
dressed the audience. The Doctor
is an active and qnick thinker and,
to say the least, he is an orator. It
was a very easy matter for him to
rold the undivided attention of the
entire audience. He made a powei-
full speech, throwing an occasional
bomb into the camp of his adversa
ries. The Doctor's speech was, to
- -i t x i- :
say tne least, nigniy emeruuuius.
Ie defined the term "straightoul"
j i i t T
to the amusement oi tne wnoie
crowd. His jokes were enjoyed oy
all, and to judge by the way he was
applauded there was not another
Cyrus Thom pson in the crowd. The
people of Duplin and Sampson coun
ties who heard him will long remem
ber Dr. Thompson and the speech
he made at Warsaw, and the many
riends made there will ever be re
joiced to hear of his continued puc-
CeSS.
Mr. Shaw was the last to speak.
He stated in the outset that this was
his first visit to Duplin, but he had
always heard good reports from that
county, that It always polled a large
Democratic maiority. If Mr. Shaw
went to Duplin with the expecta
tion of finding the majority of the
nvnlfi suDDortiner Cleveland, it -is
very likely that he was sadly disap
j ft '
pointed. This was nis nrst visn ami
we expect he is hoping that it will be
his last, that is, if Dr. Cyrus Thomp-
son is to De mere. isxr. ouaw
la to hA there. Mr. Shaw fell
into line by saying that he had noth-
ing against the rank and' file of the
Peonies' nartv that he was satisfied
peoples party, mat ne wito sat
that they were generally good hon
est people, and were conscientious

ers.
nf ohnaA. as is eustomarv with the
1 V
straightouts with a few exceptions.
The reason Mr. Shaw, and others,
who are conspicuous fortheir"taffy,"
have nothing to say against the peo-
nio who are inline with the Peo-i
pies' party is because they are vot
ers, and they want their support,
therefore they handle them tender-
ly and pettishly, saying: Come back,
O come back, you poor ignorant de
lnded set. come! Now we have this
to say: If the people are blameless,
why do they blame their candidates
when the people ore the leaders in
this great movement? Poor logic
that is. Mr. Shaw said that the
lAnrters of the "3rd party" were all
sore headed disappointed office-seek
ers. If this is true, the people are
all disappointed office-seekers, for
they are the leaders and we can
prove it. Mr. Shaw said that the
editor of this paper was one of the
disappointed set, and said positively
that he was

Why ..the Farmer Do Not and
Whr Business Men Should
ot Support III.- Candidacy.
ThM Jte couctrv Is suffering from
con teal uon of the currency seems to
be admitted by all. Those who have
aided in this contraction are censur
able for the condition. When Mr.
Cleveland was inaugural ed, tL aw
required the coinage of not lest han
two, ror more than four millious of
dollars per month. He kept the
coinage at the lowest figure and
thus deprived the peopla of an In
crease of two million dollars per
month -luring the four year? of his
administration. Not only this; he
advocated the discontinuance of sil
ver coirage entirely; and, could he
have forced his wishes on the coun
try, he would have deprived it of
what waj coined. If any one, who
is fortunate to have any pnper cur
rency ot -hand, will examine the
kinas of jvhich it is composed, they
will bo apt to see that at least two
thirds of the bills are "Silver Cer
tificates.'' Deduct these, and see
what proportion is left for use, and
you havo some idea of the reduction
he would have made in the curren
cy, if he ;ould have had his recom
mendations enacted into law.
He admits that the evils he feared
and prophesied, have not been real
ized from the continuance of silver
J coinage; yet, he
persists iu his
that ho "is the
peop il
! anI tirlolrt vimII lffM irlfli
(ill Y 1-ClULIJ II 111 UtV wVlt.il
ium.
He uoul'l also have contracted the
currp-'-y by the retirement of the
trea:?i'A notes, or greenbacks. The!
comptroller of the currency (Mr.
Trenhlm) under his administration
recommended the refunding of all
these (over three hundred and fifty-
six million dollars) into interest
bearing bonds,, and to turn ovor to
the national banks the duty of fur
nishing the people with money to
transact business. Now take out
the greenbacks from your bills, and
have only national bank notes, and
you can form some idea of what this
would have brought us to. We
would indeed have been placed more
yompletel jta the pantr of Wall
street than we now are. When have
Jeffersonian ideas been more viola
ted, and where is the plank which
the Democrats, up to I860, always
inserted in their platforms against
national banks? The farmers not
only object to his views on contrac
tion, but the means he uses to put
money in circulation.
When the taxes accumulated in
the treasury beyond the needs of
the government and the "surplus"
was over one hundred million dol
lars, there was likely to be financial
panics from contracted currency.
Under the law which allows him to
use national banks as depositories of
U. S. money, he transferred from
the treasury to certain banks, se
lected by the secretary of treasury,
from forty-seven to sixty-one mil
lion dollars. The banks he selected
were required to deposit U. S. bonds
as security tor tne loans, ana re
ceived loans for face value of 4i per
cent, bonds; and one dollar and ten
! cents ior every uuuai 01 juui pvt
I i mi, U.,l, iwiirl rr inn.ont
on the loans, but the U. S. paid
them interest on the bonds.,. The
banks loaned the money to the peo
ple at such rates of interest as the
law allowed, or they could exact
There was no order issued that any
national bauk depositing bonda,
should have money ; but the secre
tary selected such as he chose. Is ear
ly all the loans were to the large
cities in the East. The South gave
Mr. Cleveland her solid vote ; her
ueople needed the money, yet in a
list of the "depository banks" made
i to Congress in Ftbruary, 1891, we
found but two surplus banks in all
rr;tnrv
Mr Cleveland seems fully in ac-
cord with the Republican idea that
all money must be furnished the
Lonnf ,v bv the Eastern bankers,
When the government collects mil-
Hons from lhe peopie of North
Carolina through the internal reve-
nue, he lets the Eastern banker have
it "ee 01 interest to loan iu money
in North Carolina that he may still
farther impoverish her by collecting
interest off her. If he had loaned it
to a bank in N. C, although the
interest chareed micht have been
the same, yet, the property would
have been to the wealth of the State.
When these .things are published,
the Democrats who tell them, are
accused of "cussing" Cleveland and
aidine the Republicans. If this is
"cussing" Cleveland it is "cussing"
tim for entertaining Republican
notious on questions of moment to
the farmers. They are matters of
public reward and will certainly be
heard from in the campaign.

(Continued from last Week.)
WEBSTER'S WEEKLY, OCT. 17, 1891,
Nearly a year has passed since the
free coinage bill passod the Senate.
Is the Democratic party standing
by its principles? . What means
this effort to change fmnt on the
silver questioa? What does it mean
for men who denounced Cleveland
for his opposition to silver last win-'
ter to be falling upon their knees
before him now ? 1 lias he modified
his views?. What means this flop
ping over ? What kind of a party
is it that favors free coinage in the
winter and oppose it in the fall ?
The people have a right lo -know
whether the Democracy can be re
lied upon to keep its piomisos. If
it will stultify itself upon silver at
the behest or wall street, what as
surance have the people that It will
not play the traitor on the tariff
question should Wall street demand
it? The nomination of Mr.
Cleveland would be a clear confes
sion that the Democratic party is a
party of expediency. He is not a
Democrat, and the only excuse for
nominating him is that he can carry
New Yoric. And pray why can he
carry New York ? If at all, because
he represents the tariff views of New
England and the financial Ideas of
Wall street. He is a monometalist
and an enemy of the industrial de
velopment of the south. The tariff
reform of which he howls means
free raw materials for New England
manufacturers and keeping the
South at the bottom of the industrial
ladder for all lime, while the honest
money about which he prates In the
xind that finds its way to Wall
street as naturally as water seeks its
level. He proposes to rule
or ruin. "I have made the issue,"
he says, "and you must put me in
the lead again. I don't care what
you want. You are an ignorant, set
and need a boss. The very idea of
such a crowd'as you all are talking
about finance! It make me tired.
I am Grover Cleveland ! So I can
carry New York and New Jersey,
why should I care what the South
wants or don't want? It Is true I
will throw a collectorship and a
marshalship here and there amongdt
you and adorn the brow of this and
the other hungry dog with a i ost-
mastership, but you must sneeze
when I take snuff and play a second
fiddle on all economic and financial
questions when I command you to
do so. Princi pie to the dogs I What
is that lo you ?"
Webster's weekly, Nov. 24, 1891.
Mr. Cleveland is a gold standard
man. tie would demonetize silver
if he had the power. His record
proves this fact. Time, which
proves all things, has shown the
falsity of his position. .
As to our tariff views, they are the
same they have always been. Jef-

New England has lived upon the
folly of the South long enough.
Under present conuitions she must
soon give up the fight, for the South
can drive ber to the Wall. Free raw
material Is her only hope. Give
her this and she can hold the South's
nose to the grindstone filly years
longer. When were
goods ever as cheap as now? But
where is the money to buy them ?
Financial reform is paramount to
tariff reform. Cheap goods are very
dear if you have nothing to buy
them with. So reason the people
and they are right. Rubbing beef
steak on a hungry man's stomach
will not satisfy his hunger? neither
will cheap eoods satisfy the man
who hasn't a cent to pay for them.
The people do not want

sick and tired of it.

There is unquestionably an ele

believe that, they were born to rule
and that tbjy ought to dictate the

A contest has been going on

destruction and freedom will perish

The people have grown tired of
boss rule and propose to take mat

among the people is nothing more
nor less than a protest against boss
