We said but last week that we did not believe that Tom AVatson mid Congressman Winn has said that j if the Democratic party carried out the Chicago platform that there would be no need for the People's jaitv.

They siv that the Democratic party will have to give equal rights and jus tice to all before there is no need of (lie Peoples party. In 181)2 the U. tf. Senate passed a resolution instructing the committee on agriculture to investigate and re port on the causes of agricultural depression. The report which lias just been published, referring to the eotw.n crop says: "There arc causes I'ov this low price coming from leg islation now in force, and there are other causes coming from needful legislation yet to be enacted." This is exactly what the Alliance has claimed and charged from the be ginning. And if the committee had gone on to specify the real causes for depression, the bad laws to be re pealed and the remedial ones to be passed, it would have been bound to have practiced the Alliance doctriue in detail. Mr. Jacob Buttle, Senator from Nash, is evidently trying to bolster the Legislature and forestall public opinion upon the conduct of that body in the railroad back tax case. Mere what he says in the Carolinian Iiu his review of the work of the Leg islature: "It has been charged by soiuj that we oppressed the W. & W. Mailntad Company. I am sure they, tlie railroad, do not so regard it. They, the railroad, came forward and showed ;i most commendable spirit in ivpect to settling this long vexed 'iiu 4ion.'' This reminds us of how we u-ei.l to manage our little brother. We would get to playing and he would get hurt and begin to cry, and 1 had to do was to pretend we v iv ii u i t worse than he, and it would 'it once pacify him, and he would I begin to laugh. This is Mr. Battle's idea, lie knows the masses are go lug to cry two years from now, and he is trying the experiment of pre tending that there are some who are saying, "we oppressed the railroad company." If there are any outside f 'hose who are directly under the iutliK iice of the railroad who claim that it was oppressed, we have got to ''ear from them after now. The (,,nitdaint comes altogether from the other side. The "oppression" was the other J j " '"After the decision of the United States Supreme Court it would have U,'L a pusilanimous thing if the 'I'loaeutatives had surrendered the fmiU of that victory. No one ex pected them to do it." Most assur edly no one, not even the . railroad company itself expected them to do it. It would have been pusilanimous indeed, and there is rather more pu Bilanimousness than their ought to in their surrendering as much of taat victory a3 they did surrender. This fake fs too thin, Mr. Battle. If the members have no harder job in the future than defending themselves from oppressing the railroad compa nJ5 who, according to your own say 8o do not regard themselves oppreiss fc(l, then they, indeed, may consider themselves lncky WHAT WILL AMFRiCA RF IN f Since Columbus discovered the New World there has not leen in any country such rapid progress in wealth and material development as in the United States during the past forty years. There has also been no table evolution of ideas looking to social reforms. The thought of this wonderful growth, just as we are preparing to take its measures by the biggest exposition the world has ev er seen, naturally leads to the query What will America be in 1803? That is the question the American Press Association has propounded to some of the most prominent men and women of the time, and their an sweiv, prepared with thoughtful care, have been arranged for publication in leading newspapers. We have ar ranged to publish these answers. The tirst installment appeared in week's before last issue. Look out for them each week. WOMEN IN WYOMING- Be it resolved by the Legislature of the State of Wyoming, That the possessson and exercise of suffrage by the women in Wyoming for the past quarter ot a century has wrought no harm and has done great good in many ways; that it has birgely aided in banishing crimes, pauperism and vice from this State, and chat with out violent or oppressive legislation; that it has secured peaceful and or dely elections, good government and a remarkable degree of civilization and public order, and we point with pride to the fact that nearly twenty five years of woman suffrage not one county in Wyoming has a poorhouse, and our jails are almost empty, and crime, except that by strangers in the State, almost unknown, and ta the remit of experience we urge every civilized community on the earth to franchise its women with out delay. Lesobed, I hat an authenticated copy of these resolutions be forward ed to the Governor of the State, to the Legislature of every State and Territory in the couutry, and to eve ry legislative body in the world, and tfhat we request the press throughout the civilized world to call the atten tion of their readers to these resolu tions. Daily Call. We publish the above by request, without comment. We will say this, however, we do rot know that fe male suffrage in the South would be best, but we are far from saying that the fair sex in North Carolina could not, or would not vote as intelligent ly as the men do. In fact, if they did not vote with more intelligence and more right than many of the men do, it is about time for the devil to step in and close his mortgage. JANUARY 28TH AND APRIL 1 3TH. On January 28th the gold-bugs and monopolist up North, who are masquerading as Democrats, met to celebrate "Old Hickory" Jackson's birthday They made speeches prais ing the old hero, while in their hearts they hate his pure democracy. In an editorial we exposed their hy pocracy at the time. We now see it announced that thev will celebrate te birthday of Thomas Jefferson on April the 13th, which is to-day. The idea of monopolists and national bankers celebrating the birthdays of Democrats like Jefferson and Jack son, who were bitterly opposed to the very crimes ihey are to-day cemmit ting in the name of Democracy! Will any of the speakers on that occasion quote and endorse the following: Shall the currency of the country be legal tender issued and its volume controled by the Government, or shall it be non-legal tender issued and con trolled by banking corporations ? Andrew Jackson, Or the following: The question has been asked, and ought to be looked at, what is to be the recourse if loans cannot be ob tained? There is but one "Cartha go delenda est." Bank paper must be suppressed and the circulating me dium must be restored to the nation to whom it belongs. It is the only fund on which they can rely for loans; it is the only recourse which can never fail them, and it is an abundant one for every necessary purpose. Treasury bills bottomed on taxes, bearing or not bearing interest, as may be., found necessary thrown into circulation will take the place of much gold and silver which last, when crowded, will find an efflux into other countries, and thus keep the quantity of medium at its saluta ry level. Let banks continue, if they please, but let them discount for cash alone or for treasury notes. Thos. Jefferson. They will not, for they don't be lieve in such Democracy. But the bulk of the Democratic South does. Will such honest men, and there are over 50,000 of them in North Caro lina who believe in that kind of pure Democracy, continue to sacrifice their principles and follow the eastern mugwumps and gold-bugs, or will they join with the people in a fight for honest government. The plutocrats are satisfied with things as they are, the people are not. If the plutocrats were suffer ing an extra session of Congress would be called at once. The dishonesty and deception practiced by tin Eastern goldbugs to prejudice the silver cause is il lustrated by the following figures read by VilJard before the New York chamber of commerce and sent broadcast to bankers and boards of trade east and west. Silver js quoted as a commodity at so much per ounce. There has been purchased by the treasury: Ounces. font.

When the silver now accumulated in the treasury is coined the govern ment will realize at least $50,000, 000 clear profit. Why don't the goldbugs tell tlie truth? THE AMBASSADORS, BAYARD, OF UNITED STATES, AND PAUN CEFATE, OF ENGLAND. . THOMAS F. BAYARD, Ambassador, Court of St. James. Mr. Bayard has gained the honor of becoming the first American Am bassador and has received the mis sion in London. The nomination is a recognition of tlui courtesy shown us by England in promoting' Sir Julian Pauncefate to the rank of Ambassador. He was born on the 29th of Oct. 1828: . He was elected to the U. S. Senate in 1809 from the State of Delaware. He was a can didate for the Democratic nomina tion for the Presidency in 1880 and again in 1881. He "was defeated both times by the Jackson Demo crats in the convention on account of his pronounced views against green back and in favor of the national banking system and a gold standard. But Cleveland has proven to be no less so. SIR JULIAN PAUNCEFATE, British Ambassador to the TJ. S. Sir Julian is the first Ambassador who ever was accredited in Washing ton; as such he will have precedence above all the other Ministers from foreign countries. Until now Sig nor Romero, from Mexico, was the Dean of the Diplomatic Corps of the Capital. Be it resolved that "free silver coinage as a cardinal principle of the party, and that we condemn Mr. Cleveland's antagonism to it, and pronounce his hostile attitude and encroachments upon the right of congressman to the expression of their convictions free from presiden tial intimidation, as at war with the spirit of democracy and in conflict with the plrtfoim upon which he was elected." Democratic Conven tion, Denver, Col. The Mother and the Auuty of Monopoly Mr. Bissell, Mr. Cleveland's Pest master-General, is the president of several railroads and monopolies con nected with the Reading combine.

Liberator (Wash.) fl - EDITORIAL POSTSCRIPTS- According to the partisan Demo cratic papers a partisan is one who has strong faith in one of the old parti. A farmer is a curse to his family who votes for less money, when he can't pay his debts and educate his children. If you want to find out what is the matter with this country straighten up and feel in your pockets and the mystery will surely be solved. What will the "disinterested visit ing statesman" get from the Cleve land pie counter? Or will the Wil mington & Weldou railroad have, to provide for him? If you want all American farmers to become paupers, demonetize sil ver, borrow money at 8 per cent in terest, give mortgages on homes, and the thing is done. A Democrat writes that he thought we ought not to have said what we did about Gov. Railroad Carr. If the Governor didu't say "me too," we will gladly make the correction. Wrho will inform us? Do you remember hearing Jarvis (that was before he became a "disin terested visiting statesman,") howl ing on the stump about the Radical "gougers" and "gagers?" He won't say it anv more. For thirty-two years the Demo crats have not had a chance, they say. Then why not call an extra Session of Congress at once and undo some of the infamous wrongs com mitted by the Republican party? Do you remember Vance's "long, red-legged grasshopper," which he used to take around on campaigns in a bottle? Wonder if the Democrats will use this mode of warfare in the next campaign? Or by that time will they be converted as to the fea tures of the "infernal" Revenue? Watch the Federal appointments that Ransom is manufacturing. He is laying his plans to be re-elected United States Senator. In addition to the Government money voted for cleaning out creeks, - branches 4nd mud-holes, the public pap is now to be used for electioneerinsr schemes. The partisan Cleveland organs are now saying that Cleveland must at tend to the appointments is the rea son he hasn't time to call an extra ses sion of Congress. Which is the most important, to call an extra session to change the bad laws and give all the people relief, or to let all the people suffer while he quenchas the thirst of hifngrv office-seekers? Why is it that Cleveland does not call an extra session of Congress to repeal "the infamous acts of the Re publican party" and enact laws in the "interest of the great common people?" We understand that the Congressmen are drawing their $14 a day (now $18 a day since 4,hey vo ted to increase their pay) and they pocket this whether they are at work or not. TOO HARD ON THEM. (Correspondent The Caucasian.) Mr. Fditor. You are too hard on congressmen for increasing their salary to $6,200. Most of them did an extra twelve hundred' dollars worth of lying in the last campaign. And surely you don't expect them to work day and night trying to get their office-seeking constituents "fixed'' for a, paltry five thousand. do you. - F. J. Pitt county. "Jiew Occasion.

April 1, 189X Editor Caicasiav, Dear Sir: About a year afro I heard a prominent Democrat of this (Black River) Township, say that the salar ies of Senators and Congress men beis were too much, that Congress should at once reduce the salaries to $2,500 a year. He among the few of the township roted the so-ealled Democratic ticket last November. We wonder what he now thinks of the Democratic (T) Con press increas ing their pay $1,200 a year. We have not yet heard of a single man expressing himself as regretine vot ing the fopuhst ticket, they say they will do it again, but we have heard of several who voted the so-called tickets say they will not do it again, but will vote for Molly and the baby next time. W ell, the North Carolina Letrisla- tute done their sowing in the months or January and february of this year, and we fee! sure they will reap a reward they richly derserve the latter part of next year. Most of the people of this section know a good thing when they see it. Many have seen The Caucasian and say it is the best paper in the State. Several have already subscribed and many others will With many good wishes for The Caucasian's future success. Yours truly, J. C. Baik. Howl It Mow? Oh Mr. Democrats where are we at? During the campaign of 1892 the popular song of the Democratic press was, " We love Grover Cleveland for the enemies he has made." Will the Democrats of this year of grace lyj help to sing that song!

A Little one Horse Kditor "Goes Foot" at a Spelling Match. Hadleys Mills, N. C, March 29th 1893. Mr. Editor. About the time that the last legislature convened the Chatham Record seemed to take great pleasure in giving publicity to the false report that 'Mr. A. M. Self, one of the representatives from Chatham, could not write his name; and when a letter containing many misspelled words and pretending to have been written by Mr. Self was published in the Sanford Express, the Record, apparently with much eagerness to expose the defects in spelling, copied it. Recently some ladies in the town of Pittsboro got up a "spelling bee" for the benefit of the Methodist parsonage in which Mr- A. H. London, editor of the Record, participated. v When, the word "turkeys" was given him to spell he said "t-n-r-k-i-e-s," and of course was told to retire. I under stand that arrangements are being made to have another "bee" soon and Mr. Self has been sent for to spell aginst Mr. London. Wagers are being offered that Mr. Self will win, but as yet no one has been found to take the wagers. Phoenix. From Wire Grass Region of Georgia. Moultrie, Ga., March 20th 1893. Mr. Editor.

The htbor world is again Wing disturbed by a most remarkable de cision rendered by Judge UkVf, o, Ohio, ia the cast of the Toledo Ann Arbor and Michigan railroad cor poration a&ainst their employ. A refusal on the part of the road to giant more pay for ex Ira work done by tlie employt has pre cipitated the trouble, 1. M. Ar thur, Chief Engineer, itir alltgvd issued aa order to the Brotherhood of Engineers to refuse to handle freight on this road. The nun im mediately quit work, and the rail road appealed to the court to re- stiaiu Arthur from isuiug or deraor in anv wav interfering with the men in their employ. Judge Kicks, in obedience to the re quest of the railroad, ordered Ar thur into court to show cause why 1 "A f- , I 1 . m- luieriereu in oenaii 01 the em ployee. The court held (the most extraordinary and usurpatory deeis ion we f ver heard of) that as the railroads are common carriers used for public benefit that the railroad employees are "quasi" public son ants and cannot quit work wheu they wish to, in order to force an adjustment of the difference between themselves and the corporation. Un less there is an equitable and satis factory adjustment, to both side?, me tuiure noius witnin tne grasp many serious difficulties of this char acter which may material Iv affect the puolic welfare. As long as railroad corporations are permitted to place on the bench their henchmen to interpret the laws in their favor then the laboring peo ple need not expect justice. To deny the employees the right to quit work when they see fit, is to take from them their most sacred privilege, their freedom, their liberty. This case is without precedent or parallel. It is revolutionary, and meant to destroy the rights of the laboring people. iucic uevei win ue perpetual peace between the railroads and the men who operate them until the roads are owned and operated by the Government. This question is a fruitful one for discussion at this time. The action of Judge Kicks only makes it more necessary for the rail rsads to be takan out of the control of combinations. The employees need not expect justice as long as the roads are owned by corporations who dictate who shall preside over the courts when thair interests are involved. If the railroad Judge holds that the men haven't the right to quit work, he should hold also that the reads haven't the right to discharge their men unless they are willing to surrender their position.
