"Cheap silver," says the London Standard, "has given ns cheap food and raw materials, and has enabled England to hold her own in the world far more easily than her ri vals. Nothing would be so disas trous to our foreign trade as a sud den rise in silver." Certainly! Every sensible person in this country understands all this as well as does the London Standard, and everybody except the hired tools of the London speculators in Wall street, and their satellites in congress and other places, are demanding that the American congress shall refuse to repeal the silver purchase clause of the filver law of 1890. Nobody else in this country, so far as we know, except, perhaps, President-elect Cleveland, is working to build up British trade. The Republi can party was, but it has re ceived notice to stop, and it is not likely to have the opportuni ty to begin again. THE THIEVING HYPOCRITES. What an immense mob of political hypocrites there wa3 assembled in the Chicago WTigwam last June, It was little less than treason to "men tion the word "silver" among the assembled statesmen. "Silver is not an issue and cannot and will not be made an issue. The tariff and the force bill are the paramount issues," said the Cleveland worshipers. But silver defeated Harrison, and now as Cleveland has become President sil ver is declared the "paramount ques tion." To quote P. T. Barnum, ' the American people love to be hum- bu srsed -Rocky Mountain News. THE PEOPLE ARE FORGOTTEN. Before the last election it was the dear people who were suffering from a high tariff. Now it is the pluto cratic capitalist of Wall street that mast be given an extra session for the purpose of restricting the circu lation of money and enhancing the value of their gold and bonds. The people have been forgotten. Rocky Monutain Newst "The times are improving.

Tbey Vo ed Down Democratic Amendments to an I'ndemocratic Law. Ily Their Fruit Ye Shall Know Them. We published last week the text of the bill offered in the last Legisla ture to amend the law under which the prostituting of the ballot was com mitted last November. The bill was introduced in the House by Repre sentative J. II. Parker, of Perquimans, and in the Senate by Senator John W. Atwater, of Chatham. The bill was tabled in both houses without allowing debate. It is perfectly natural that men should not be willing to change the machinery under which their seats were obtained, and that a record of the facts and the truth should be galling to them. They want to keep the facts from the people, but The Caucasian will turn on the light. The people shall know the facts. We give below, in parallel columns, the law as it now stands and the law as it would have been if the Legislature had adopted the-amendments. The law is so long that we will publish it in installments. We publish only those sections that the bill would amend. This week we publish and comment on four sections: The Elf et ion Law Am It Is. Sec. JG71. The board of commis sioners of each county shall have power to establish, alter," discontinue or create such separate places of election in their respective counties as they may deem expedient, giving thirty days' notice thereof by adver tisement in some public journal, if there be one published in the county, or in lieu thereof in three places in such county, and at the court house thereof; but there shall be at least one polling place in every township, as nearly central as possible, and there shall be a polling place open in each ward of a city numbering over three thousand inhabitants. The amendment to Sec. 2G71 provides for at least one voting place for every 700 inhabitants, fs this amendment needed? Let every reader of The Caucasian who knows of a town where men were disfranchised be cause the polls closed before all the voters had time to vote, write to us giving the time and place. We have heard frequently of members of one political party packing their men in front of the ballot box and standing there all day to keep the voters of different parties from voting. Of course this was not done everywhere that it could have been, but the law should be made to prevent those who are scoundrels from doing wrong. Sec. 2674. The boards of commis sioners of the several counties shall select, on or before the first Monday of September preceding each election, one or moie persons for each election precinct, who shall act as registrars of voters for such precinct. Said board shall make publication of the names of the persons so elected, at the courthouse door, immediately after such appointment, and ehall cause a notice to be served upon said persons by the sheriff. If any regis trar shall die or neglect to perform his duties, the justices of the peace for the township, or a majority of said justices, or the Clerk of the Superior Court of the county, m case said justices or a majority of them fail to meet, may appoint another in his place. And no person who is a candidate for any office shall be a registrar or judge or inspector of an election. The amendment to Sec. 2674 requires the commissioners to give notice when they will select the registrars of election. Under the law as it now stands they can select the registrars one month before an election or a year or more before if they so desire, and they can do it without letting the people know when. The people have a right to know when this im portant officer is selected, and the amendment requires at least ten days notice to be given. We know men who have asked the commissioners to tell when they would select Registrars but they refused to tell, but every special friend or pet of the commissioners knew. The amendment is good Jeff ersonian Democracy, the present law is not. The Legislature voted down the Democratic amendment. By their fruits ye shall know them. Sec. 2675. Registrars shall be furnished with a registration book, j and it shall be their duty to receive j the existing registration books of i their precinct or township in sucn manner that said books shall show an accurate list of electors previously registered in such precinct or town ship, and still residing therein, with out requiring such electors to be registered anew; and such registrars shall also, between the hours of sun rise and sunset on each day (Sundays excepted), for thirty days" preceding the day for closing the registration books as hereinafter provided, keep open said books for the registration of any eleotors residing in such pre cinct or township, and entitled to registration, whose names have never before been registered in such pre cinct or township, or do not appear in the revised list. . But the board of commissioners for, each county may, upon giving thirty days' notice in each township, if they shall think proper, direct that there shall be an entirely new registration of voters before any election, instead of f the revision of the 7 registration lists as above provided, that said books snail be closed for registratson on the sec ond Saturday before each election, that registration shall be allowed on that day np to 12 o'clock noon. The amendment to Sec. 2675 reqnires.the Registrar to take an oath "to (continued oh THE PEOPLE An It Would He Amended. Sec. 2G71.

BARBED ARROWS OF TRUTH HURLED BROADSIDE AGAINST ARRANT SHAM. HYPOCRACY AND COWARD'CE. YUt The IrcUlatara WaaUHt tt d. liat . WMAfrmiU SjjetLil CorresiwtKlent-l A certain Democratic newspaper laments over the fact that Mr. Cleve land did not give N. C, a cabinet position. Deaioorats who pretended to indorse the Free-silver Income Tax platform f the party in this State are foolish to expeet any great pre ferment at Mr. Cleveland's hands. They are not the kind of Democrats he wants in office. The New Berne Journal referring to Mr. Cleveland's Anti-silver cabi net suggefctsthat this administration wants no sixty cent dollars' It may .wera strange but it is an actual fact that there are people foolish enough to prefer these nasty, cheap sixty cent dollars to no dollars at all. The Demociatic politicians think Cleveland unjust because he does not seem disposed "to give the fodder to the horse that pulled the plow." Well, it doesn't matter- When these politicians werebuneoeing the voters into pulling the Cleveland plow last fall they knew that these voters were taking the "fodder" out of their own mouths by supporting Cleveland's financial views. Now if the Presi dent does not reward these politicians nobody should grieve but themselves. Honest people do not ciy when a professional biter gets bit. There is a great howl among Dem ocratic newspapers about an "honest dollar." It may be observed that the "honest dollar" they are so anxious to preserve cst the laborers about one dollar and a half. Mr- Cleveland is responsible for the declaration that "public office is a public trust." This doubtlessly accounts tor the inordinate desire on the part of the professional politi cian to get trusted. The Wilmington Messenger says that the prices of light tobacco has advanced instead of declining under the operation of the tobacco trust. If this be true it was kind of the manufacturers to form a trust so they could give the pool farmer a better price for his tobacco. But the Messenger" is not so renowned for accuracy as it is for the piety of its Sunday editorials. After all their silly twaddle in the campaign about "Cleveland being his own platform" a number of Dem ocrats are severely criticizing his earliest public acts. Perhaps they did not understand their platform. The last Legislature wanted to kill the Home-stead law but they were afraid to do it. They wanted a bet ter system of maintaining public roads but they were afraid to adopt one. They wanted 0) to break up the Tobacco Trust but they dared not attempt it. They wanted to as sassinate the Alliance but their cour age failed before the plot was execu ted. These and other things they appeared to want to do, but, with absolute power they failed to do them. After their cowardice or hypocrisy had become notorious they adopted as the State's motto, the phrase, "To be. rather than to seem." The next Legislature that gets in by fraud will probably change this off for "honesty is the best policy." F.J. Pitt County, March 21, 1S93. Does 'Sot Deserve Sympathy. A man who does not read the paper that fights for him and his interests does not deserve sympathy from any one. He is simply brous ing around in search of better pas tures, but has not got down yet to think for himself. An assembly of such fellws may be held together for a while, but the time is short The men who think and read and upholds the labor press are the true soldiers in the great labor fcght. When you find a man who claims to be fighting for the people at the same time he reads' the papers that are doing everything possible to sus tain the money oligarchy you may set him down on the side of the enemy. Old party papers cannot be relied on to enlighten the people on econo mic questions. They are owned by a class that live off the ignorance and misfortunes of mankind. Hence the reform press is becoming a power in the land, and its patrons well in formed on these questions.

The Alliance has created a rippl in the political world that i 'Wing felt from ocean to ocean, and from the frozen lakes of the noith to the extremity of our own lorcd south land. No organization has ao grappled with economic questions, and causl auch a hhaking of the dry boncx of the machine politician as the Alli ance. In exposing corruption in high plact- and low plaees, the reformers have neither spared friend nor foo. inev praueu me ngut ana con demned the wrong with no uncertain sound. Heretofore, the masses have been in cross ignorance with regard to the author of the wrongs perpetrated by our law makers on their consti tuency. Lvery returning election, our bosses would declare to the dear people at every cross road that it was the othei party that was to blame for the vicious laws enacted. The partisan press would take up the re frain and stuff the people with such scare crows as negro supremacy, confederate brigadier &c. The tiuth is, we were until a few years ago ignorant as to the true cause of the hard times. The Alli ance has taken a view of the situa tion from a non-partisan stand point, and has found that both old parties are, and have been in collusion with the gold bug autocrats who are sap ping the very life blood of this na tion. The reform press deserves great praise for showing the people where the wrong is, and it is the duty of all patriots and seekers of truth to read these papers that are battling against odds manfully for "equal rights to all and special priviliges to none. A. J. Hunter. Worse Thau the Million Dollar Congress. For The Caucasian, Tauboro, N. C, March 11, 1893. The session of the fifty-second Congress has expited, and we are in formed by the New York World that it spent one billion twenty-five mill ion dollars in appropriations and for other purposes. When the Republicans showed their extravigance, and spent a bill ion dollars in the fifty-first Congress every Democratic paper in the coun try denounced that party for its reck lessness and utter disregard of the burden tax-payers of the country. "When the Fifty-second Congress came into power it spent a half mill ion dollars during its first session, and after the last session which ended on the 4th of March it was learned that five hundred and twenty million dollars of the people's money had been expended. During the campaign last Fall nothing was heard of the Republican billion Congress. The Democrats were as silent as a clam about the extravagance of the previous Con gress- The past session surpasses the record of the olst Congress, and the World truly says that the "Demo cratic House must receive its full share of the blame for this reckless extravagance. It has been false to the pledges upon which it was elect ed. It has discredited Democracy." The World, after severely rebuk ing the past Congress for its extrava gance, endeavors to throw some of the blame on the Republicans. It should be remembered that there was a Democratic majority ot Ho in the last House ot Representatives, and as all appropiiations must orig inate in the House, all fair-minded people will see on whom the bl ime for this billion dollarism should rest. The less prosperous the people are the more taxes they have to pay! Will they calmy submit to this? Jbmes B. Llotd. A Fanner Opinion. Holly Spring, N. C. Reform is what we want. The way to get it is to commence at home. In old times the rent and taxes of land amounted only to one tenth. But they saw that the laboring elass was getting along too well and they began to levy an extra tax, and there they began to oppress labor. Whde there is now so much land unculti vated, let us put down rent so peo ple can make their supplies at home Make your own supplies and live at Dome. paying time prices and high freight. Instead of buying. make more to sell. Thus yon will do away with mortgages and bring reform home. W. P. Johnson. . J.

Every body admits that he did more than any other man for the Democratic party in the last election. mm What has become of London Moore, (col), lieaman elector in the ast election? If you haven't paid your taxes for tho last two years, when the sheriff comes round offer to pay only for last year and see what he will say. The Wilmington & WeWon railroad company offered to pay only a small portion of the taxes that it was due, and the last Legislature has accepted the kind (?) proposition. a Did the Democrats use to curse the negroes? We think thev did: but these "damn negroes" of four years ago have at last become to be the darling hope of the Democratic party. When was the first time the the Democratic party ever wanted to see the colored man vote? It was in the last election. A man who cannot even spell his own name, remarked to us the other day that the ignorant people are all in the People's party. W hat has become of Jimmie Bell, the delinquent and reputed Gideon- ite? Whom did Democratic Captain Kitchen say he had caught in his Gideonite trap? Didn't he say he had caught Democrats? WThy did Democratic members of the Leg islature vote against Capt Kitchen's Gideonite bill? You know the Capt said he found they were members of the band. What did the secret no- ... itical meetings that the Democrats held last fall mean? We think that Kitchen's declaration in the House explains the whole matter. Didn't Mr. Cooper promise while on the campaign that ii he were elected to the Senate that he would mirouuce a dim to dry the swamp lands of Sampson county? Did he do it? We haven't seen any account of his having introduced such a bill. Maybe he forgot it. - Did you ever see the Central Times? It's a little paper published up there at Dunn, H.
