Is there anything more boring than the stcrotyped Christmas and New Year editorials. The people say they want more money, but the money Devils say they want good county roads. There is no way to prevent the plutocratic power from con trolling a currency that is based on gold and silver. Don't miss another issue of The Caucasian for the next few months. Keep your eye on Con gress and the legislature. J: Mb. Cleveland will proba ably make up his mind on an extra session about the same time he does on the free coinage question. Let the members of the legislature be on the watch to see that no railroad attorney slips in an amendment to cripple the railroad commission "It now makes a Democrat mad to call him a free trader. The party stole into power un der false pretenses and the peo ple will oust them in 1896." T. V. Powderly. The New York Herald an nounces that "Wall street wants no extra session." Then unless Wall street changes its mind, we suppose there will not be an extra session. We were asked a few days since why we continued to dis cuss economic questions in every issue of the paper, now that the election was over. It is be cause now is always the - time to teach the truth. The partisan Democratic pa papers are now claiming that "things" will be cheaper un der Cleveland's administration. What things? The worst "thing" before the people now is debt. Will debts be cheaper ? If so, we will be satisfied. , Carnegie makes all his new employees sign agreements to withdraw from labor organiza tions, but they can't make him agree to withdraw from the Steel rail trust. The bandy legged little Scotch monopolist remains in the combine. Economist. The Democratic machine is evidently trying to capture the Hon. Thomas Settle, Republican Congressman elect from the 5th district. Probably he under stands the ways of the practical politician and they are therefore afraid to have to fight in the fu ture " Try BLACK-DRAUGHT tea for Dyspepsia. We send out 5,000 copies of The Caucasian this week. Ckisp has bowed his head to the mugwumps to be elected Speaker. He has been to see Cleveland, they made up and had a love feast. Vice-President elect Ste venson says that it was "the force bill that did it." This is a .htmeless confession, to admit that the pcarecrow racket, and tot economic reform, were the ssues the Democratic party stood on. The General Assembly met yesterday at noon and organ ized tv electing a President nro-tem for the Senate and a Speaker for the House. We expected a telegram giving re sults, but up to this hourof go ing to press we have not heard anything. See the official vote of Samp s n county in tnis issue, which we publish again by request. Note Weaver's majority over Cleveland and Harrison. The whole countv ticket would also V have been elected had not the Democrats and Republicans joined against the people. Weaver's popular vote in the nation continues to erow. It is now over a million. Every day we see in the pa pers and hear mueh about all our gold going to Europe. The papers and politicians seemed much frightened about it. Would it not be best to have a cur rency that would not be endan gered by gold rnnning off? If there is such a demand for gold elsewhere, would it not be bets for use to use something else? Oh, if the people could see all the develtry and roguery be hind all this gold business! But the people are thinking, they will soon see. PARTISAN SERVILITY AND PO LITICAL SNOBBERY. Before Cleveland was elected the Atlanta Constitution talked out boldly about Cleveland's gold bug policy, and said that his views on finance were in the interests of Wall street, and against the South and West. But now that Cleveland is elected it gels down 11 its knees and takes it all back, and worships at the foot of the gol den calf. Mr. Howellsy the ed itor of the Constitution, has called on Cleveland, and told him that the South believed in him as her great friend and protector. Has that paper re ally changed its opinion of Mr. Cleveland, or has it not got the manhood to stand up against tne powers that be, and speak its honest opinion? How politi cal patronage makes cowards of us all ! REFORMATORY FOR YOUNG CRIMINALS. To send a youth of tender years to the penitentiary is often a greater crime on the part of the State than the offence which the boy has committed against the laws of the State. It is a worse crime, for it is a crime against society and humanity. Statistics show that a large ma jority of young criminals sent to reformitories turn out to be good and useful citizens, while a majority of those sent to the penitentiary become hardened criminals, not only costly to the State but dangerous to soci ety. The State Alliance, at its last session, passed a resolution asking the Legislature to es tablish such an institution. Since then the Methodist Con ference and other religious or ganizations, and the State Board of public Charities have taken the matter up. Let the Legis lature take action. OUR THANKS. We desire to express our ap preciation and heartf ult thanks for the contributions sent in to assist us in refitting up onr office. If money was not so scarce, and the people were not suffering with an over pro duction of low prices and hard times, the friends of The Cau casian would have contributed enough before now to rebuild our office. The contributions have come from many, but th majority have been small though they are none the less appreciated. We appreciat these contributions for the spirit in which they are given Many have contributed 10c. which was more to them than 10 would be to many others We have been deeply touched by the many evidences of per sonal friendship, appreciation of the work of The Cauca sian, and devotion to the cause of reform. The total amount of the contributions np to date is small, compared to our loss but with the help of our friends, we hope soon to be able to fit up another office. HAVE CHANGED THEIR TUNE. We wish to congratulate the partisan press that fought the Railroad Commission so bitterly two years ago. They are now almost without exception com mending the commission, and saying that the bill was a wise one. It seems that they have been taught something, though it took them two years to learn. The people should take note of this. It is another evidence that those who arrogate to them selves a monopoly of wisdom, virtue and patriotism, are often either honestly ignorant or else dishonestly trying to fool the people. The same farce is now going on In South Carolina. fhe straightout bourbon ele ment of the Democratic party is fighting the commission, and swearing that it will ruin the State. Two years from now, when they cannot fool the peo- J pie any longer about it, they will whip over and say it is a good thing, so they can try and fool the people about something else. Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. GREAT SYMPATHY FOR THE FARMERS. From one end of the countrv to the other the oaoers that have fought every reform de manded by the people are just now greatly concerned about better county roads. Their sympathy is deeply touched for the poor farmers that they must drive over roads with mud-holes, roots and sticky clay. If the people were not demanding other reforms that would lessen some of the profits of the gold bugs and specula tors, the latter would never have had their sympathy so deeply touched about the road busi ness. Is road reform needed? Yes, but it is one reform that will not stop the robbers from stealing from the people. We might have the best roads the world ever saw in every neigh borhood in the country, yet if the same financial policy is con tinued, the bankers and specu lators could steal the earnings of the people who rode over sood roads as easily as from those who ride over poor dirt roads. .If a man is stealing corn from your, barn, stop the thief before you clear any more land to raise more corn.

WaihlDyton and Rlefgh "n-1 Even' Voter Keep HI je on Congress and the Legislature. Wfl have made arrangements with one of the ablest reformers in the United States, who will be in Washington this spring, to furnish us with a letter each week, giving the inside doings of Congress. We will also have a letter from Ral eigh, giving what the Legisla ture does and does not do. For the next few months the eyes of the State will be turned on Raleigh, and the interest of the whole nation will be cen tered at Washington. Every man who expects to be fit to cast an intelligent vote at the next election must keep np with what is going on now. Those who wait till just on the eve of the next election to make up their mind will stand a chance of being a victim to campaign lies and partisan en thusiasm. Every man who keeps informed now, and qui etly makes up his mind on the great questions before the peo ple, will be a free and inde pendent citizen, and ninety nine times out of a hundred, will vote right. Now is the time to decide how to vote. Subscribe for The Caucasian, and keep posted. Don't say you are not able to take it. If you can't spare a dollar, send 25 cents and get it for three months. A MANUFACTURED DEMONSTRA TION. On Friday Dec. 25th the news was flashed over the wires all over the country by the gold bug press dispatch syndicate, that on Thursday night 400 railroad em ployees of South Carolina had met at Columbia and held a big demonstration to protest against the railroad legislation being passed by that body. Some res olutions were passed denouncing theTillman administration. Quite an effort was made to create the impression that there was popu lar opposition to the railroad leg islation from the working classes. This meeting has been given much prominence by the plutocratic press and those papers owned and controlled by the railroad. Now let us stop and see what all this means. First was there any cause for such a protest No, for the legislation is as just and as necessary to protect the in terests of the people as the rail road acts passed by the last North Carolina Legislature. Then why did these men meet? Simply because their bosses who employed them told them to go. A railroad manager says: "You are working for us, we are pay ing you so much a day to do what we want done. To-mor row we want you to go to Colum bia, there will be a meeting there. There will be some res olutions offered you must vote for them. While your are gone your pay will run on and your extra expenses will be paid." The next day the men met from all over the State, some resolu tion already prepared by the railroad authorities were offered by some of the men, they were promptly passed, the next day the papers, who were already in formed what would take Dlace told the people all about how in dignant the laboring people of South Carolina were against the reformers of the State. There was a ; time when this racket would fool the pecple, and then the people were in danger. Tff people are-now thinking for them scives ana can already see through many of the "ways that are dark and the tricks that nr mean" which have so long been successcully used by monopoloy to hold the people in bondage. When intellectual bondage is uauu, men win nnance bond age go too. with two and a CA fZiA - I tAlc WA1 ":nce pr rrkYiUS.G t mMW fr- .kniod with f J jTV5rtrf tmt. r bottles of I - ; 1 MMUle, I. T.
