Why r-.hotild serious objection le made to Cleveland and Carlisle for mulating a tariff bill for Congress men to vote for? Accord i tig to the universal dictum of the Democratic leaders during last year's campaign, the tariff was the only live issue, and Cleveland the only representative Democrat. Congress surrendered 1 hc-ii, why not now? Attorney General Ohtey should have the following plank from the National Democratic pLtform laid ujk)ii his desk regularly eaclt morn ing until it is carried into effect: We demand the rigid enforcement of the laws made to prevent and con trol them trusts and combinations, together with such further legisla tion in restraint of their abuses as experience may show to be necessary. The Washington Slar says it has been practically settled that there will be no extra session of Congress this spring, and this decision is owing to the strength shown by the silver men.' This, of course, says that Cleveland's only object in call ing an extra session would be to nave silver demonetized. Where is the fellow who said ("rover was for free comaker Another evidence that the com ing democratic administration will not be different from the present republican administration is the fact that Charles Foster, secretary of the treasury, has had a confer ence with his successor, J. (I. Car lisle, and both have agreed to issue 25,000,000 of gold bonds, bearing gold interest, to buy gold to keep the treasury from becoming depleted. This is a nice state of affairs after the best crops and the biggest over production that the world has ever seen. It us genuine pleasure to commend and give full credit to every public man, no matter what party he belongs to, who stands by the people and does his duty. Tue Caucasian' is not the organ of any party or set of men, but is fiirhtiug for truth and justice. It will turn on the light, and in doing so if it shall prove to the credit of any pub- lie man or party it will give us plea- sure, but if the truth exposes and condemns any public manor party we will be sorry, but will do it all the same, for it isourdutv. The truth will be told and justice shall be doue and we shall not spare any mau, big or small, who deserves condemnation, nor will we w ithhold praise and cred- irom those to whom it is due. even if they are our personal enemies. If The Caucatiax cannot be a per- soual friend, it will always be a po- litical friend to those who are honest and true to the people. FALSE TO THE PEOPLE.

They cannot escape the responsibility tor the peoples money would never have lett the treasury for the political jobs, if the Democrats had not en dorsed it. And besides the asiount voted, on account of Eepubliean laws of the preceeding Congress, was less than seventy million dollars of the nearly even hundred millions voted away. The Democratic party has been false to the pledges it made to the people. The recent State Leg islature thought it had to ape the ei travigant Congress, so it has yoted away immense amounts of the peo ples money. The Legislature is now posing as the million dollar Legis lature. It too has been false to the people. J ust think of it a million dollar Legislature and a billion dollar Con gress, and the poor people taxed to pay this enormous amount The lioeky Mountain Xews says: The Denver banks tendered one million dollars in gold in exchange for greenbacks. Uncle Sam's paper is as good as gold among the western people. It is only the Anglomanics of Wall street vrho are alarmed about the solvency or credit of the United States. ' . THIS EXPLAINS THEIR SILENCE The rotten, subsidized plutocratic pu-ss w-u.-i significantly silent on the recent court tv elections in Georgia. W lien these elections were going on we said that we felt sure that the frt-opl" were earning the day, be cause, we could learn nothing nothing from the kiily pajx-r.s. The follow ing facts explain it all: Franklin and Hart counties heretofore Dem ocratic strongholds, and which rolled up handsome majorities for Cleve land last faly gave nearlvall the county oflicers to the Populists, while in Warren and Mclhiffie coun ties the Populists majorities ranged from 150 to 500. In Augusta and Atlanta the working men succeeded in electing a number of candidates. In T 'oiii Watson's district the Popu list counties rolled up overwhelming majorities. If the result of the county elections in Georgia had been the reverse of the very significant in crease of Populist3 vote?, what a shout would have gone up from the nose rag sheets of plutocracy that is otherwise silent as the crave. JOS1AII QUINCY, Assistant Secretary of State. Josiah Quincvjlate chairman of the National Democratic Committee on Campaign Literature, has been ap pointed to the important position of Assistant Secretary of State, and will a? such control nearly the whole pa tronage in the Consular Department You remember that Democratic cam paign literature which you got, head ed "The Farmers and the Currency," "The Force Bill and the South,"' etc. Well, Quincy and traitor Tillman got it up. Then under his direction, no doubt, the Democratic machine of this State stole the subscription list of the Progressive Farmer and sent their misleading and lvmr literature to every reader of that paper. They tried to bribe a person to steal the subscription list of The Caucasian and the list of the sub-Secretary from the oftice of the Secretary of the X. C. State Alliance, but "failed. He was working for an oflk-e and goi it. We suppose Tillman got boodle. SKETCH. He was born in 1S"S, graduated from Harvard in 1SS0, and was a member of the Massachusetts Legis lature four years. H and Governor Russell are the leading Democrats in Massachusetts. JUST AND UNJUST TAXES- If we must have an income to the treasury of $500,000,000. a year, at least $300, 000,000 of it ought to be raised by taxes falling upon indivi duals in proportion to their means. This amount cau be raised by moderate taxes ou incomes and lesra cies and accessions. The wealthy will object, of course, but that is not sufficient reason why they should not be required to contribute toward the support of government in proportion to their ability to pay and the bene fits they receive. To say that an in come tax is un-American proves nothing. It ought not to be un American to tax people somewhat in proportion to the means rather than in proportion to their necessities and ihe- numbers dependent on their earnings. To say that this tax is in zuiiitorial proves nothing. Any tax law which seeks to distribute burdens in proportion to means must neces sarily be inquisitorial. The asessor must gain knowledge of individual possessions in order that taxes on real and personal estate may be fairly levied. It is no more inquisitorial to find out what a man's income is than to find out the value of bis personal property and taxable securities. And a tax on incomes is fairer than a tax on any kind of securities, because when all property and all securities are taxed there must necessarily be double taxation, and encumbered property has to bear a double bur den. We challenge any man to show that an income tax is not only fair,but that justice demands that a goodly part of the taxes be raised that way. Is Cleveland and the Democratic party as now managed for thejpeople? "if they are one of the things they will do is to tax the rich according to their ability to pay and take some of the taxes off the poor who are not able to enjoy any of the luxuries of lif e. GOLDSBOKO, N. C, THURSDAY, MARCH 1(5, CENTRE SHOTS- HAYSEEDER "ROORlCK," OF SAMPSON WRITES THE CAUCASIAN ANOTHER LE TER. Ilr Hit. Ihr lluU' K Ktrry Shut. 1Sjm ial to The Caucasian. 1 P.ig Blue Swamp., X. C. - A very caustic Democrat iu our hearing the other day said that it is best for the South that cotton is low. Don't you think thev need him at the national museum? A fellpw. was asked the other day what he thought they would do witli him tt the final wind up. He said he didu't 'think they would reach his case on judgment day, that it would take all their time "to try o litical thieves. How many men could be found in Sampson county before Cleveland ("as nominated, that opposed free silver? How many tan be fouud now? Oh, for such criginal thinkers. r If a man were to burn a part of his earnings, we would call him an idiotic fool; but if he votes for the old parties, men aud measures that will destroy it iu prices and useless expenditures, the same is a patriot ana wise man. We overheard a conversation the other day something like this: "What kind of a fellow isyour neighbor B?" "He used to be a real clever fellow aud one of our best friends, but he went off with that d n third party and since then I don't have much to do with him." Cod pity your poor, black, ignorant infamous contempta ble soul. In the name of justice and reason, has it come to that pass that a man is to be estranged from his friends and underrated in the world simply because he is honest with his conscience? Whither are we drift ing and what will our masters do next? If Mr. Cooper's bill to imprison a man for getting drunk had been a law when the Legislature met, do you know of any Senator who would have been unable to go? If you do, answer, because, "When the wicked rule, the people mourn." It is real amusing to hear these little pin-hook fellows of the Demo cratic party when they go to town get around their bosses tell that they are Democrats and what they did last election. We see a good deal in some of the partisan papers, (and among that number the Sauipsou Democrat; about the feeling that exists between town and country. Xow, what started this feeling? I)"id the country peo ple or the town people start it? " It was originated by these same papers that are now asking for peace. Thev now admonish the country people to lay aside this feeling. Do they ever admonish the town people to do the same? Xot a bit of it. The country people want peace and if the town people want it, they should be wil ling to come half way, or at least be charitable. They continue to abuse the reform element and because the reform papers occasionally retort back at them, they say we are wag ing war. How can the Democrat dare ask for peace til it apologizes to the many good people of X'orth Car olina for the very hard things it has said about them and for no other reason than that they saw fit to dif fer with that little s'heet as to party policy? Geutlemen, we country peo pla will meet you half way, but will not go any further. We will see who wants peace. . Say, is Mr. Cleveland dead? Why is the price of cotton decliniug? Some of the papers that said his election put the price up will please explain. How many men have we in Xorth Carolina who for the sake of having a certain ring notice them m com pany, would vote the Democratic ticket if they new positively it is against their own interest? He's a dandy Who is a dandy? The man who says he is a prohibi tionist and then votes with a party that brings itself in power with whis" kev. Do you ever hear anything from J udy Carroll these times? W onder if they havn't got him boxed up for the World's Fair? o Do a good many of those farmers who don't belong to the Alliance and People's party really hate us who do belong to them? or are they just trying to please the bosses? We think some of the partisan papers have about stopped puffing Jimmie Bell since the reform 'papers are beginning to publish about his buying goods from the State Busi ness Agency and refusing to pay for them. Turn on the light " We notice that the Sampson Tem ocrat never fails to publish anything it sees that it thinks is detrimental to the Alliance. Isn't it a pity that so able (?) a paper should oppose us? Of course if it turns all its mighty logic against the Alliance and Peo ple's party, they must go down: for well may this paper be called the Weakly Democrat. A Tery officious ignoramus said to the writer the other day, "I am a Democrat, and why am I?" Eeally we were unable to say whether he didn't know any better or had been bribed I Wheo are the Democrats of Samp. (ton eounty going to have their big j jubiiee?

Some of the partisan .papers of this .State have been trying to make it appear that the Populist in Kan sas ; 'Trcii the wrongand greatly re joiced when the Supreme court of that State decided in favor of the Republicans. So now read what the St. Louis Republic, a Democrat pa per says, editorial ly: While it is humiliating to the Populists of the Kansas house of representatives to surrender to the decision of the partisan court, they have acted wisely in refusing to al low the Republicans to put them in the attitude of defying the law, even when there is nothing more than a pretext of legality against them. But if the situation is calculated to humiliate the Populists it is even more humiliating to the friends of popular government who have not been concerned as partisans in this quarrel. It has been made most strikingly ly manifest that for the time being at least, the power of the Santa Fe railroad is greater than that of the majority of the people of Kansas. This corporation has instigated re bellion; has corrupted and controlled the militia and has made a show of force to overawe the Governor of the State and tne authorities consti tuted by the State to represent them. After doing this it has rendered a decision from the Supreme bench of the State in support of its claim and against the claims of the people to be self-governing- We have sent sample copies of The Caucasian to every Postmas ter ia Xorth Carolina. Some of the small fry partisan kind have returned the papers with slightly varying comments. One says: "X'o d m Third Party stuff for me,' another says "I want none but Democratic papers" another says '"l am a thor oughbred Democrat aud don't want any other kind of paper' still an other says "I will work for your paper if you will change its polities." The above shows such norrownes3 of intellect and littleness of soul that comment is unnecessary. Xow dear reader if your Postmaster is one of that kind, get up just as large a club of subscribers at that office as possi ble and force that Postmaster to handle the truth if he will not read the truth.

I want to thank you for your "kindness in sending me The Caicasiak, and would say that I like it so well that I expect to take it as long a I can raise money enough. We fell out with you last u miner, or spring rather, because you did not, at ouce go ahead, after the SL Louis conference, and organize the State, in the interest of the IVoples: Party, but we all see now where yon were right, and we were wrong, you were not iu aitiou to know, being Pres't of the S.

I wish to say to the brethren that it is high time that we had aroused from our lethergy and assert our man hood and drop the hireling partisan paper, for why should we pay our money to our enemies to enable them toabuse and taunt us with ignorance, and just as long as we help them to abuse and mislead us we render ourselves unworthy of respect and deserve nothing better. Dear brothers and sisters I say once for all aud especially to all who voted in the late election' for reform in government both county state and national cut loose from the hireling partisan press as you would from the beguiling influence of his satanic majesty, they are continually crying peace when there is no peace, here brethren let us hold up the hands of our v-orthy brother who advocated the cause of oppressed humanity through one of the most persecuting and villanious campagusthat ever disgraced the fair name of our once prosperous and happy country. I beg you think of what the dominant party promised m the late campaign and look at what they are doing in the legislative halls of our state aud nation, then it was reform the tariff and all will be well, now it is go slow and appropriate $100,000,000 for the ship canal, repeal the Sher man silver bill of 1890, which put 54,000,000 in circulation amongst the people, demonetize silver, drink beef tea, filibuster and fritter the time away, cater to tbe demands of Generalism Grover and worship at the shrine of Wall street and its golden calf, Grover Cleveland, with a mugwump State legislature passing o'possum laws and reducing rate of interest an borrowed money 90 days after never and trying to repeal the charter of the State Alliance Busi ness Agency, taxing female does &c &c X'ow Mr. Editor, if you think this letter or any part of it worthy of a place in your valuable paper yoa can publish it and if not consign it to the waste basket, but let me have the weekly Caucasian, ever yours Fraternally J. "W. Kexsedt. The Welf-ranuMked. El Passo, X. C. March 6th '93. Mr. Editor The time has come when the most obtuse can see that the sympathy and friendly interest professed by politicians -and party papers for the Alliance as an Order, and the members as a class was and is just such as the wolf has for the lamb or the fox for the goose. The amendments made to the charter of the State Alliance is such as to un mask our enemies and let the way farer though blind and a fool see their objects and aims. "Whom the Gods would destroy they- first make mad" There never was a political party who had such an opportunity to perpetuate its existence" and to lire in the memory and hearts of the masses as the Democratic party has Tl' - -m - now. Will it embrace tbe oppor tunity? Judging the future by the past where hare we any ground to hope. What has the present legisla ture done for the people, that is the Farmers and laborers?

Fraternally yours, Howard F. Jones. Editor Caucasian; I have been amused and editied bv the reading regularly of an Arkansas Demo cratic paper containing full proceed ings oi tne Arkansas Ixislature. There thev declare the fundamen tal principal and corner-stone of Democracy to Ih? the election by the people of their justices every two years. They further declare that the corner-stone of the Democ racy, is the election by the people. of their free school couimittemen everywhere have sole management of Hie district school. Herein Xorth Carolina the corner-stone of Democ racy, is that the people shall not elect their justices. This is to ena ble them to pertietrate the outrageous electiou frauds. The people are not allowed to elect their school com mitteemen for fear somebody might teach a free school who does not slavishly vote the Democratic ticket A lawyer friend from Texas informed nw that tht-y elect all their local of ficers there, and he had himself been elected county Superintendent The long last right of local self crovern- ment should be restored. Let the people rule and down with election frauds. Intense excitement here over there- repeal of the Alliance charter. have never seen public indication from all classes so marked and em phatic It practically wipes out what was left of the Democratic party. I am :io member of the Al liance, but the cause of the Alliance is the cause of us all. For the last 500 years, legislation furnishes no para lei to the outrageous proceed ings of the House, concocted in se cret, and put through under the gag law, it is a monster proceedings. in legal Justice. 1 he ;r-at Srbrinr.

They do not de.ire any change, save that by which thev ran add more money to their pletbroie purse. Extracts from the hanker view may not le unuitcreMintr to The Caucasian, aad I giv them here with. JarucA Campbell, a bank cr of Kf . Louis, ays: I believe Mr. Cleveland will he equal to all emergencies and will know how to provide for them until CongreM convene regularly, and that he will then be letter "abb to shape legislation ho an to quiet all fears of the disturbed financier X gradual reduction f the tariff will not serioui.lv a fleet or disturb the finances of the country, ai then all the evils of immediate tariff re- form would be avoided, and the manufacturer would then Wahic to adjust himself to the condition brought about by the reduction. 1 do not iK-lteve in i',imtr cold bonds. 1 think that the gold ot are is largely ftrtiflcial, and that the parties clamoring for bond are di rectly or indirectly in the conspira cy. I think that the anxiety felt about the shipment of gold abroad and the pretended evil that will fol low ir gold went to a premium will have pansod out when tho Seerctarv of the Treasury positively and per emtorily Htates that no bond will ho issued. From the fact that Mr. Cleveland's method are so well known and that his administration is to continue for four years, and any policy that he would advocate would meet with tho general approval of a very large majority of the business community, and they would at once endeavor to adjust their condition so as to have in the business eon form profitably with tin new condi tion of things, believing whatever it is would be best." Here is what another banker say: "The effect of the incoming ad ministration will be beneficial. It is generally andendood that Mr. Cleve land is pledged to a sound financial policy. This is understood not only in thia country but tbroujrkt Eurc;e. Therefore the eiTect of the incoming administration cannot fail to bo ben eficial to all industries. The Caucasian reader will note the writer of the above says that "it is generally nridersood that Mr. Cleveland i pledged to a sound fi nancial policy. This i understood not only in this country but through out Europe." This mean that if Cleveland can prevent it, there will be no change in the present iniqui tous financial laws of this couniry! Xow you will hear what a Repub lican banker has to say respecting the situation. Read it and soberly reflect: "I do not ree what change Cleve land's policy will make in tbe finan cial world and do not see that its ef fect will be other than good. I think Mr. Cleveland's policy is to conduct his administration in such a business-like way that the prosperity of the country will continue. I do not think he will make any radical enanges in any direction. "l pay this a a Republican who voted for Lim. The change of administrarion is one of political significance rather than a business ehange. I do not see that it will benefit or depreciate the pres ent fortunate condition of trade in any way. There are so many factors back of the flow of gold to Europe that I feel hardly able to express an intelli gent opinion as to how it will result. If the people will only preserve quiet minds and uo not get into a splutter of excitement there will b no danger. There is no more dan ger of a panic from an overflow of gold than there was from the Read ing collapse. I am perfectly satis fiedthe prosperity of the country will continue undi-r the new administra tion, and should experience an in increase as it did eight years ago. Your readers will doubtless recall the, fact that the tariff was regarded as tbe paramount issue in tbe last campaign, but is singular, that ia view of the fact that it w.s consid ered sueh an egregious evil then, how silent the leaders are now re garding it. Their silence is appall ing and painful! Here is what a New York broker ays when inter Tie red by the World said- "I think the tariff is a danger rut thing to meddle with at present, If those who were commissioned to execute the will of the people fail to keep their pledges, two, and four years hence, they will find the peo ple "dangerous to meddle with. Honesty is as essentia! in politi cal parties, as in individuals. Jakes B. Llott The question as to whether lovely women will wear crinoline resolves itself into the old truisms "If she will, she will, yoa may depend on't; if she won't she won't, and there's aa end oat. 3i
