THE CAUCASIAN. rtliLISHED EVEBV THURSDAY MARION BLTLKR, Kdltpr & Propr. Enter! in the Post-Office at Clinton, N. C, as Kccond-CUss Matter. Show this Paper to your neighbor and advise him to subscribe. Hubvription Trice f 1.00 per year In Advance, CLINTON, X. C, DEO. 15, 1892. KD1TOKIAL UKIKKJ. liCT your neighbor started In right now to reading Tjie Cau casian and you won't have to watch him when he votes. It is the yearly readers who stick. A writer from Alabama says f'The People's Darty in this State have fought a good fight and have kept the faith bat Democrats counted the votes." Who says the campaign is over? It is just begun. It will never be over until the wrong is Hirhted until the scales of justice are balanced until the laborer and producer have their quota of honest legislation. Sectional warfare is played out in Kansas. Col. VV. A. Harris was elected to Congress at large, on the Populist ticket, by a majority of 4,000. Col. Harris is not only an Ex-Con federate soldier, but left a por tion of his anatomy on a South ern battle-field. Representative Allen, or "Pri vate John Allen, of Mississippi, as his friends call him, enjoys the reputation of being the wittiest man in Congress, and his summary of Mr. Harrison's message "The message sounds like a motion for a new trial, but I do not think the country is going to grant i," has detracted nothing from his reputa tion. Jay Gould's income is 13 cts. a second, and 4,000,000 a year. "W. TV. Astor's is 29 cents a sec ond and $9,135,000 a year. Great West. Should not the present Dem ocratic Congress put a little tax at least on these great incomes, so that some of the taxes could be taken off the poor people? Ed. A few days ago the State Chron icle issued an order to the farmers to demand the resignation of Pres ident Butler, charging that he had cone into p&rtisan politics. This brazen piece of silly ignorance has been endorsed by many of the par tisan press. It is no doubt humili ating to them (if they are capable of knowing what humiliation is,) that up to date no Alliance has obeyed their orders. We extend to them our sympathy, and if they will not accept that then they can not escape our pity Poor fellows l It is a fact that reforms never begin in that stratum of soci eiy Known as tne "upper classes" meaning of course by that term the wealthy and eaee-loving caste of society. mi . i . -i me great upneavais ana re modelings of governments, tending toward the betterment of humanity have always em anated from the wage-earner and bread-winner. And through this class must come the suc cess of our great movement by thorough education and agita tion. GOVERNMENT MULE CHEEK. The Landmark and soma other papers that have been fighting the Alliance ever since it was organ ized, and ridiculing und opposing its" demands for reform are now po sing as self-constituted organs, with the cheek of a government mule they advise the members what to do and not to do. The farmers know what they are at and could if they saw fit give advice to the Landmark. RACY. Shall Vie currency of the country be legal tender issued and Us tolume controlled by the government, or shall It be non-legal tender issued ana controlled by banking corpora tions i nA!f!fKK DKMOCRAT1C COUIITY. it is Halifax county, which we understand has a registered ne gro majority of 1600 votes, yet this year, (according to the count) a Democratic majority of 2,100. Edgecombe county shows up just which party is suffering from "negro domination" now ? There is something, rotten in Denmark. TUB POPULAR VOTK. Thus far we are enabled to give the Weaver vote in the following States. More will be added as they are an- nounedd : Alabama, California, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Nebraska, Minnesota, Missouri, 85,128 21,201 41,731 24,590 22,37 23,503 83,780 29,596 41,183 10,250 Mississippi, Ohio, 11,852 Pennsylvania. - 8,714 Rhode Island, ... 227 North Carolina, - - - 44,000 Total, 407,132 A WARNING TO THE POWERS THAT BE. "Let those who rob bv law and oppress their fellows to gratify their thirst for. power bewar8 how they trifle with an awakened people. The violent political storms in 1888 and '92 which first swept the Demo cratic and then the Republican party from power in spite of the weight of patronage which they carried, signify a turbu lent condition of the political atmosphere which plainly fore shadows an approaching crisis. It were better that it be not hastened by the enactment of measures which savor of usur pation and theextension of class privileges." CALIFORNIA AND NEBRASKA Are in the hands of the Pop ulist. The Republicans have a majority, but the Populists are the balance of power, and can make or unmake the candidate for Senator from either side. If we can get a moderately fair man from these, it will make seven or eight reformers in the Senate. Nebraska consists of four eighths Populists, and one eighths Democrats. There the Republican Senator is doomed. A Populist will go. That will make eight Senators with at least Populist sympathies, if everything moves as expected. We are sure of six, anyway a balance of power. THE VALUE OP ONE VOTE. We have abundant illustra tions this year of the value of one vote. The People's party was defeated in Duplin county by one vote. A change of five votes would have elected the Legislative ticket in Sampson. We lost a large number of counties by less than one hun- dred votes. The States of Ohio, Califor nia and North Dakota are now hanging in the balance of un certainty with less than one hundred votes to turn the scale for the three large States. One vote for one member of the Kansas Legislature chanced the complexion of that body and will elect va United States Senator. - Two years ago m South Da kota there was a tie in one leg islative district for membe of admw joodiwoc the House of Representatives. A new election was necessary, and there was practical confu sion between the People's party and the Democrats, and their candidate was elected. The Speaker of the House was elected by this one vote, and he was a fusionist. The People's party and Democrats allied on all political questions, and by this means Kyle was elected to the Senate. Let every reformer remem ber this at the next election. TIIE INDUSTRIAL LEGION. It is doubtful if anything has been presented that will meet a more hearty response and go forward with a more vigorous organization than will this one. Its objects are plain, lofty, ready of comprehension, practicable, necessary, abso lutely unassailable, and at once appeal to the better judgment of every friend, be he ever so lukewarm. The tersonnel of its head officers is the most fitting guar antee of efficient organization Paul Vandervoot, the greates recruiting officer in the history of the Grand Army, 'is com mander in charge, and in short time he will be heard from in the form of an address bearing upon the question in point. Enough is known tha our friends can well afford to buckle on their belongings for a continuation of the fight in a more orderly, systematic man ner than in the past. It means system. It means practica politics and education in po litical work; in short, instead of a disorderly attack, it means an orderly advance upon the enemy's center that will in spire confidence in our ranks and make the campaign a con tinuous one instead 01 spas modic just before elections. there is a work, for everyone to do, and you will shortly be given an opportunity. Nonconformist. ANNOUNCEMENT. For nearly two years we have been engaged in the publica tion of the Farmers' Advocate, and while we leave the pursuit of journalism as our prof ession in life, yet a this time there is a consideration greater to us than any temporary gain During the past six months the editor of this paper has been a constant sufferer with eye trou bles, and fearing serious con sequences in the constant and continued work (which is an ii a . .1 intense sixain to tne eve) we are constrained to abandon our work, to which we -have de voted our earnest efforts in the past. With the writer health is the paramount consideration, and a continuation of the confining work will only tend to impair our health. Moved only by this consideration, we are con strained to suspend the publi cation of the Farmers' Advo cate. Our subscription list will be continued by the Clinton Cau casian, which will contain a etter with Tarboro news each week, if possible. Our material has been pur chased by the Caucasian. Jas. B. Lloyd, . Editor. In last week's Aivocate. f We send The Caucasian this week to the subscribers of The Advocate. We trust each one will send us a new sub scriber. The Caucasian- ; w the fight, will attack every wrong, and expose every en emy boldly and fearlessly. The truth shall be told, and ight shall be turned Caucasian. ; NEARLY CONVERTED remember Onr readers will how the News and Observer, and other papers of that kind, fought the Railroad Commis sion, the provision to tax the railroads just like any other citizen, and other reform meas ure before the last Legisla ture. Those editors tried to ridicule the editor of this pa per and other members of the Legislature who advocated these just measures. We suc ceeded, and the result of our work has proven a blessing to our State. Now hear the News and Observer praising what it bitterly fought then. The fol lowing editorial appears in last Thursday's paper: AN IMPORTANT DECISION. The Supreme Court of the United States has affirmed the decision of the Supreme Court of North Carolina in the case of the Wilmington & Weldon Railroad Company plaintiff in error, against J3. I. Allsbrook, Sheriff, etc. The Supreme Court of North Carolina decided in this case that the Wilmington & Wel don Railroad did not come within the exemption claimed by the company for its main line under the charter granted fifty years ago, but that these new lines were subject to tax ation like all other property in the State. The Railroad Company appealed from tha decision, and nowthe Supreme Court of the United States has sustained our State court, and holds that the branch lines must pay taxes like the prop erty of citizens. Chief, Tustice Fuller deliv ered the ooinion of the Sa - - - preme Court in the case. Now that this decision is made, and that question is se at rest forever, tne company and the Legislature know more certainly the ground they each occupy, and we hope that some amicable arrangement may be made bv which the railroad company will relinquish its le gal right to exemption as to its main line, so that no property in the State will escape the bur den which all other has to bear. At the time the company was incorporated it was well enough to offer that inducement for its construction; but sinjee then it has grown to be a very wealthy thy corporation, and has made great profits, and has a vast business. It can now afford to pay taxes to sustain the State government, and it is only equitable and just that it should relinquish this peculiar privi lege it enjoys." The News and Observer now comes up and agrees with us that even the main line of the Wilmington & Weldon Rail road should pay taxes . And i f the next Legislature does its duty that road will pay full taxes. We congratulate the News and Observer upon get ting its eyes open, even if it was driven. Butler on Polk. Progressive Farmer. We clip the following from the report of the Avalanche Appeal of he Polk Memorial meeting at Memphis: "At the conclusion of his address Marion Butler, of North Carolina, one of the best orators of the Alii ance, was introduced and spoke as follows: I do not wish to address myself to those who knew our dead lead er, but rather those "who did not. Their ideas of him are doubtless as far from correct as my first ideas of him were. Thev were former when I was a boy ten years old. I was present when he was being discussed by some prominent poli- icians and legal lights. They said he was a dangerous man, one to be feared above all others. I thought if these men, who are my ideals of courage and wisdom, fear him, what a terrible man he must be. The impression vanished when 1 tm-t UL 1'O.L x wu m t tt- T t i V. a man all the harder ior iiavmg onw feared him, and found him to be a u l.ri nfrrr gnoke an unkind UMa M A word agninst any one, who had given hi3 life to proti ct the inter csU of the downtrodden. I found him to be a dev.ut christian and a grand humanitarian. When I learn ed this of him I asked myself why he was feared. It was because he was the people's friend; it was be cause he stood on the watchtower of the people's rights and gare warning when they were infringed upon. I found that he was respec ted by all but those who, from corrupt practice, had reason to fear him. If Providence ever moulded a man for a special purpose, L. L. Poik was- that man. His mission was to break down Mason and Dix on's line. Let me say to you patri ots that you owe a debt of grati tude that will be hard to pay. Pay it by action and not by words. Our mission now is to break down the line between town and country, and then the wav will be open for re- 4 form and for good government TifTfcTIeiSf'S Cures all Female Complaints and Month ly irregularity, Leucorrhcea or Whites, Pain in Back or Sides, strengthens the feeble, builds op the whole system.
