The protective po licy was never as disastrious to the agricultural classes as a go'd stand ard would be, for while protection Je.vtiicd the stream, gold mono nietnllism would dry up the foux t i n of prosperity. The friends of "the gold and silver coinage of the constitution" need not be discour aged. Strong in the all-conquering might of right, their principles will triumph and that triumph will be Signalized by a return of prosperity to the great masses of our people. Anything wrong with the above doctrine? Will Mr. Cleveland and tin; Journal stand by that kind of I teniocracy ? Tlie New York World abuses the X. Y. Tribune for saying that the present financial troubles is due to lack of confidence in the Democratic administration. The World ha3 leen saying that all this trouble was on ; account of "want of confidence." Now it is natural to suppose that it is want of confidence in somebody or something. The Democratic admin istration is in the saddle. Jf the i Tribune is wrong, it was a very nat- i ural mistake. The World should I not have mislead it But the peo ple know that it is want of money, and want of confidence in the Demo cratic administration to furnish it. The People's party is coming and coming quick, because it is needed and needed bad. The News and Observer, one of the monopoly organs of North Caro lina, commenting on the failure of the Bank of , New Hanover, says : "It is to be deplored that the de positors should have wrecked an in stitution which doubtless would have been of great uoe to the people, in these times, if the people had not wrecked it" This is just about what we might expect from such a paper. When prices are low it says the people are to l.LiniP for either too much laziness or too much industry making over- production. When a bank fails,.' was Wrncted 'to correspond "the people wreeked it." V hen the people fail, they wreck themselves, " it- will nnf fn iv anv nf the i.i i r i ,4.

It is a press syndicate telegram and appeared in on last Friday morning in every daily newspajter in the country: "PREPAYMENT OF IX TEH EST. fcsKOKiTAKY CARLISLE IK) EH WHAT HE CAN' TO LOOSEN' MONEY. Washington, D. C., June 22. Secretary Carlisle to-day directed Treasurer Morgan to anticipate the aynrent of the July interest on the 4 per cent. United States bonds aud the Pacific railroad bonds. Checks in payment of the interest will be placed in the mail Saturday after noon and all the sub-treasuries in the United States will be instructed to cash them on presentation. The total interest on both classes of bonds aggregates $7,534,000, of which $1, 900,000 is for the Pacific railroad bonds and $5,;34,00O for the 4 per cent bonds.

Well that is just what Carlisle did, he gave the bondholders "relief" to the tune of seven and a half mil lion dollars, -while the people footed the bill. Since the election, we have seen the suffering politicians, who loved the dear down-trodden people so during the campaign, getting: "re lief" in the shape of fat offices ; and now we see the poor oppressed bond holders getting relief by having the people's taxes paid to them in inter est before it is due, but the people wno iieeueu me, reiiei ie uuiiu iu If you will read the above para graph again you will see something about interest on Pacific railroad bonds. If Matt Ransom ever makes another speech in your section, be sure to ask him to explain this to you. In the mean time you might ask the nearest Democratic office seeker you voted for last fall to ex plain it to you. If he is informed he will try to evade the question, or it may be that he is like the chair man of the Dem. Ex. Com. of Wayne county about such things don't know. The following news item, healing and all, is clipped from the .Rich mond Dispatch. We might clip hundreds of them,for similar articles are being published in all the parti san papers : "REPEAL OF THE SHERMAN ACT.

QUESTION : "WHICH OFFERS CAE MEANS FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE WORKIXGMEN OF THIS COUNTRY, THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, THE PEOPLE'S PARTY', THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, OR THE CHURCH ?" HE PKEsE.TS IX w jiVKitv voti:h ui:a.i IMPAirriAL .MIM. Continued from last issue. llypoc isv, a witty Frenchman tells us, is the homage vice pays to virtue. It w also the mask behind which pretended virtue seeka to palm off her pinch back jewels. It is the lmited and cnmiual classes then here, there and everv where, in the church setting up for philanthro pists; in society setting up for wo men of fashion; in the board of trade setting up for miracles of ac tivity and energy. Which of us have. not had our lingers burned by the corner lots in cities that never were and never will be, in the name of enterprise and develope ment; wnich of us have not been invited as an act of special friendly favor to come in ou the ground tioor of a financial edifice, having three or four cellars beneath it, and laid at the bottom in a cave of wind. (Laughter.) Which of us does not recall that genius with an infinite knowledge of horse llesb, who is willing to give the luialible tip as to the sure winner in the coming race. Hazlitt tells us only honest hy pocrits are the play actors, who ap pear in the robes of the king today and the rags of the beggar to-morrow. But there are hypocrits whose hypocracy is so deep that it goes marching through the world masque rading itself, and so surrounding the person that they never find it out. There is a hypocracy that springs from inward taste rather than fraud. How many have been led to deceit who might have told the truth and have gone about their busi ness. In the great Credit Mobilier sean dals it was not so much the owner ship of the stock as the denial of of it has brou trht disgrace, but every age has its idiosyncracy. We speak of the golden age, the sil ver age, and the brazen age, etc. Every country has its virtues and its vices; its .crown of glory and its crown of thorns. Find out a nation's sin, and you shall know that nation's danger. And it is a question that should interest us ex ceedingly; interest us as workmen; interest us as Republicans, as Demo crats, as Populists. We know about Europe, Asia and Africa, but what is the matter with America ? All of us are interested in a millionaire just as much as a pauper; we are all Americans. When you come to investigate leally the dangers that beset us as a nation and a3 a peo ple, what is it then? What is the matter with America? Is it the failure of our municipal methods and processes to bring an efficient and honest government to our great cities. That" is certainly a great menace to our centers of population. I hardly think it broad enough or deep enough to bode national ruin. Is it the race question at the south ? That too, is a great men ace and a peril to the people who live there. It is a problem the solution of which the wisest have not been able to compass and the end of which the most sagacious cannot scan. For my own part I inow so much abuot it, that I long ago ceased to have any theories at all. For a great while, and still I have looked with hope towards the education and elevation of both ra ces, but at last I am bound to con ess that I am thrown back upon a simple childlike faith in God, who can raise up as he can cast down and who doeth all things well. ( ApplauseA Is it the labor question about which we are called together to have so mucn conten tion, and about which we seem to be having so little ? Is it the social question ? A question of free, and fair election ? 1 think not so organically, in a great democratic republic like ours, wnere an tnings are opened to all men, there can never be any general motive ior a resort to violent explosive and revolutionary agencies. After all our quack nostrums, after all the devices which A, B. U and u may prescribe, after all the years of the past Wltn inia party appeal wuu its remedy, put out by that party with its remedy, it seems to me tnat these questions must come to settle themselves. We are not fenced about by bonds, the source of which means blood and terror, we are not slaves of any artificial conventions which are growing obsolete, wnicn can only be anihilated by dyna mite. The poorest babe who steals timidly into the world by the hack door, has as much of a chance of becoming the president of the United States as the richest who takes hia ' millionaire grandfather by the whiskers. (Applause.) Agrarianism has no place here and anarchy, tnat great leveler and friend of incendiaryism may safely be committed under God to that silence under the laws that conserve freedom, nobility, political organiza tion, with our ceaseless conscientious THE PEST PRACTICAL POUTI- ABLE AXD COMPLETE STATES! EXT OF THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE. it with a. IWIH AMI faithfulness to duty. There is at this time no one poli tical issue separating the people on the right and left into party lines, which are a source of lasting dan ger to the state. Speaking as a philosopher, and in a historic spirit, the entire current stock in trade, of parties, of all our parties, makes up the sum of what I call "mighty small polities." (Ap plause.) 1 have in my own day seen the re public survive an irrepressible con flict sown iu the blood and marrow of a social order; I have seen the foderal Union not too strongly put together, in the first place, come out of a great war of sections stronger than when he went into it; its faith renewed, its credit reha bilitated; and its flag Hying in tri umph and honor over sixty millions of God fearing women and men thor oughly homogenious aud reconciled. (Applause.) 1 have seen the constitution of the United States outlast not merely the strain of a reconstructory ordeal of a presidential impeachment, and a dis puted question of an electoral vote, and congressional deadlock, and an extra constitutional tribunal, and yet stand as firm us the rock against the assault of all its enemies, set ting itself with puritanical flexi bility to the needs of the country and the times. (Ap plause.) And finally I saw the gigantic fabric of the federal government transferred from the hands ot those that had held it for a quarter of a century and over into the hands of others without so much as a protest or a bloody nose, and although the outgoing and incoming were so close together that a single blanket might cover both this majeeteiiul contestants for office. (A- plause.) A man who has seen all these things, and who has borne his part iu the awful responsibilities presented day after day upon all men, living with each mgnt a terror from the very thought of the morrow, is not going to lose a great deal of sleep about what is going on now in Wash ington, unlest he wants an office and wants it bad. (Laughter.) The whole war, the whole philoso phy, the whole moral lesson of a hundred years of constitutional gov ernment in America may be sum med up in a single sentence, the his tory of the old Federal party, of the old Whig party, of our Democratic party, of the Republican party, is that when any political society in this country thinks that it has the world in a sling public opinion gets reared upon its hind legs aud kicks out of power. (Applause.) The real danger before us, a dan ger to the great as well as to the lowly a danger having its sources in human nature, aud peculiarly fos tered by our peculiar structure is a moral danger and springs directly from the relation of money to the moral nature of the people, e have no great aristocratic ti tles or patents of nobility, and the money standard naturally becomes the simplest ami readiest of all stand ards. Put monev in thy purse, seems to have become a national motto. This would not be so bad if it limited it self to commercial aliairs, but we find it everywhere, from the ten thousand dollars a year people to the one hundred thousand dollars a year people living in the United States Truly the trade mark is oveT" us all I read some doggeral verses that went the rounds of the newspapers when 1 was a boy, and although have not seen them iu print from that day to this, they made . such an impression upon me that I can still re call a few of them, that seemed to haye some application then, how much greater their relevancy now They rattled off somehow in this wav: As with cautious step we tread our way throusru This iatricate world as other folks do. May we each at the end of his journey be aoie to view The benevolent face of a dollar or two. The gospel is preached for a dollar or two, Salvation is reacnea iora aouar or iwo. And you may sometimes hnd yourself short oi a uonax or two. and so on. (Laughter.) How true it was, and it is, and how ready we are to forgive the sins o the rich, and to forget how they go their money, and to stick our feet beneath their mahogany, and to ea of their food and to drink of their wine. W hat a struggle it is every where for money, nothing but money. money, money. When old Agazzi was offered a thousand dollars a night to lecture for forty lectures he turned away from his temptor saying, "Nvha time have I got to waste in money making."

Sensi ble fellow, too, (laughter) but at this rate how long shall it be before we have crushed beueath this hard me tallic load all the good emotional s'-ntiment aud large-he&rted honora ble national feeling? It is certain that we cannot carry the influence of it with us when we go to heaven, and when we are required by our Master to give an accouut of cm stewardship how shall it be with us if we point to' our hoarded millions and say, "There. dear Lord, you can have it all." (Laughter.) Believe me there is great happi n?ss to be got iu this world, and there are days of happiness that we can get by coining oue kindjthought, more than can be extracted by a million of money (Applause.) I do not mean to argue that the poorest are the happiest, but no more are the richest. The tnnui of the one and the dollar of the oth er have passed into a proverb, by the greatest parodox that the peo ple who are collectively and relative ly the poorest in Europe ar . the hap piest in the world. I mean the peo ple of Switzerland. A people with an ideal Jeffersonian democracy. The governments frugal and simple, the officials are paid barely their subsistence, the president of t h r Swiss Republic receiving, I believe less than a theusand a year, and a the elections are annual there nre no motives or opportunities for cor ruption. Indeed the elections are held on Sunday and in the churches. The greatest of modern Swiss states men, a man who had been maDy times president of the republic, and a man in whose honor a noble bronze statue stands in the great square in his native capitol, died a tew years ago in a dingy little apartment in the city of Berne, and after his death it was found that in order to obtain the needful medicine and comforts in his last illness, he had to pawn a .-erviee silver presented to bun bv the government of the United States, his service was given to him bv the United htates as a mark of esteem or nis worK in our Denaii ai uie 1 1 1 1 11. A 1 treneva tonterence. mere was a roud, brave, poor man, one who would scorn to beer as he would scorn o steal, and who went confidently to nis jrou, without so mucn as a franc to tay his ferry across the stream. Now the Swiss peasant in his halet by the mountain side with othing to sweeten life, not so much as a flower, is the hapiest and proud- st man on the face of the globe, nd Switzerland more than any oth er country vindicates the lines of goldsmith, ijines from Goldsmith not sent us by re porter) When the foreign foe in 70 gath ered on the frontier, and the people then warned off the warring French and Germans from Swiss soil, they were as rugged then as they are now And their loyalty has become" his torical, for the Swiss were wide awake when the world was putting on its jack-boots, and the centuries ust beginning her teens. I stand everently uncovered in the presence of those grave, proud, poor raonn tameers, and have sometimes thousrht should I ever become an exile from my own.eountry, it is the one spot where 1 might be able to find something of happiness and comfort. isut enougn ot this, juet us come back to our own time and country and putting these things together et us see what light they throw upon the present and the future, with the future, with regard to the money standard, so 1 would that the mora standard so low wise men may then ask whether there is no hope at all for us, or not. Being something of an optimist I think there is, brut if there is it must come from a bet ter development of the national character and nearer approach to the ideals embraced by our national system. I have always believed in moral forces, and organized ideas ani shall never surrender that be lief to the claim that there is more bad than good in human nature. In- leed I am something of a Methodist in the conceit that we are steadily going on from grace to grace to wards perfection, although we may not obtain its Jbeatifice, its perfected state, yet at least m the twentieth enturv we will be nearer that mit- lenium promised by divine prophecy. I believe we are on the ascending and not the descending scale of na tional progress, and that there are many signs of prosperity before us. We are the most happily situated of any people on earth, we are masters of the greatest continent, we are the profesfors of the greatest Chris tian government yet devised by the wit of man, a system towards which are steadily trending- all the nations of the earth, and outside there is nothing whatever to harm us. Whilst within us it seems to me there are just two great moral dangers. One of them the devil or party spirit and the other the devil of money. Findin these two sinister forces united in a single sentence, I give them a name two years agot which has seemed to stick to them, 'and I call them the money devil -the mon ey devil is lying right across our na tional highway- standing just at the fork of the road one leads away hi Mark Fine iu national f ta mu plr" J iH t'tlitr If! down h fore a and r uinu it ltit4 ary, its jw$ rr uMnfI to trllo up all that in threat ntd noble in na tional life.

(Applause.) I shall not undertake on an occa sion like this to dwell iu detail upon the peculiar afflictions which at tend this very wandering love of the material things of life. Head the ghastiy story of Mammon. From the weuty pieces of silver, from the treason of Arnold, down to the trag- cal proceedings that are now oc- urring in the French courts in re gard to the Panama scandal in the "rench republic, itemove the roofs from the palaces of the rich and see what you will find there. What skeleton is in the closet? What hams? If a poor man wants to read a sure enough tragedy let him peruse the personal history of Wall street, a history that started near the head of a graveyard, all its own. scarce big enough to bury. This society oddly enough with mercan tile sagacity actually took itself out from the churchyaid and emptied itself in a deep, mighty stream, fit emblem of the mystery of death. Let us glance away over their prog ress to a page brighter on which is emblazoned that blessed legend, 'Do unto others as thou wouldst thev hodld do unto you." There is the whole secret aud mystery of human happiness. Of all the great speech- s that Shakespeare has put into the mouths of his heroes it seems to ine that for the poor and rich alike there is the most wisdom, there is the most comfort to bo found in the words addressed by Woolsey to one of his camp followers, who survived all the followers: "Cromwell 1 charge thMt fling away ambi tion By that in fell the angels, how can man tnen, The image of hi3 Maker. hoie to win bv it?

Still in thy riubt hand carry gentle peace, To silence envious tongues. le just and lear not; Let all ends thou aim'st at be thou coun try's. Thy God's and truth's; then if thou fallest. O Cromwell, Thoufallest blessed martyr." There is but an epitone of all the world has to give and take awav done by one who has treaded all the pathas of honor and traversed all the ways of guilt, and found, when it was too late, how weak is the strength of pride, how poor the power of money. Believe me, the statesmanship, Democratic, liepub lican, or Populist, whatever states manship that does good to his coun try must appeal more to the moral nature of the people. (Applause.) u mu3t inueeu sees to lonow tne t t i i i f i i .i tradition of progress, and never for get the homely homespun sources irom wnicn we aenve our me as a nation and as a people.

Go down south and bathe in the sun shine vou shall find there, lop oil some of the brittle edes of their southerner, some of their harder fibre, ad take a few lessons from their old-time planters' simplicity, honor and truth, and you will feel better for doing so anl you will be the better for doing so. (Applause.) And if 1 was delivering a sermon to them same planters iu the south I would say to them, genclemeu, all this clinging to paternalism and the shadow of paternalism and a patern alism which, if existed, exists no longer. And I assure you that the poorest fellow among the Yankees is just as good as you are, and in many things tbey know a great deal better than you do how to get on in the world. Send some of yoar boys up there to school, let them learn how to work for a living. In many cases it will be simply a revisitaiion of the home of the lore fathers, for many of ' the greatest and proudest families in the south trace back their origin to the blood and loins of the Pilgrim fathers.

Andrew Jackson it was w ho said, "if cougiess has the right under the constitution to issue paper money, it was given them to be used by them selves, not to be delegated to indivi duals or banking eorporation8.,, Thos. Jefferson it was who said : "Bank paper must be suppressed, and the circulating medium must be , restored to the nation to whom it be longs. It is the only fund on which we can rely for loans, it is our only resource which can never fail us, and it is an abundant one for every neces sary purpose."

I felt awkward and out of place with my dusty boots and cotton pocket lxuidkerchief in the reeiice of such daintiness and elegance, but Pro. Sanderlin thoughtfully excused his horny, blue-eyed little typo writer and made me feel very much at home. He was dressed in a fash ionably cut, blue broadcloth Suit, but observing the wear and tear of my home-made clothes incident to uii unexpected long sojourn here, he caid that I tnusn't mind his tailor made clothes that he had only been in otlice a few days and being a stranger to everybody he wanted to male the licst impression possible. He said that he M as not a proud man, aud that he didn't intend a big ofiice should turn his head, and make him let 1 and vet as if he were aliove his brother Alliaucctneii at home. He then told me all the us and downs of bis office. It secuis thatHro. Klias t'arr insisted that Simmons should employ him to can- ass the Matt. He told Simmons that Pro. Sanderlin was a great man among the Baptist and that be could ull more wool over . the farmers eyes in discussing the tariff than any mau in the State. He predicted that nothing would be left of the independent movement when Bra Sanderlin got throgh with it. Vou remember that Bro. Sanderlin was a audidate before the State conven tion for Ooveruor, and he says Bro. Carr promised to supjMirt him for the nomination, llealmoct lot confi dence in human nature when Bro- Carr went back on his promises. It was a great shock to nun, auu 101- owing so soon after the BoBton tridge disaster he sustained a serious nervous prostration from which he had barely recovered when he eLter- u the campaign. Simmons hesitated, and not until after he had consulted Senator Hansom did he consent to put him in the field. Hansom said 'do it.and it will amount only to San der! in's boasting after the election that .he earn! the State." We all know what happened. With the ex ception of the riot at Burusville, when the natives had a little fun shooring squirrels, by way of punctu ating 11 ro. Sanderlin s lurid oratorr about trace chains, tin cups, horse shoe uails, and wool hate, it was a eacefuland inoffensive campaign. f he Democrats here don't think it amouneed to much. Iiansom is quoted as disclaiming emphatically all re sponsibility for his appointment. He " gives all the credit to Simmons, and bavs that the result of a trade be tween Simmons and Gov. Carr. Bro. Sanderlin doesn't take that view of the matter. He thinks his cam paign broke the revolt against the Democratic party in the state, and elected Carr Governor. Keeling that way, of course, he is awfully put out that he should have been put off with an insignificant little place ike a Deputy AucUtorship, which only jtfiyg $2,250 per year. He says it is impossible for him to live here on that salary and snprtort his fami ly. 1 was very much touched when be pointed to the beautiful red roses on his desk and said, every one of them had a thorn. His office has no duties or responsibilities. Outside of signing the pay roll and drawing the salary twice a month, be has nothing to-do. Jle is dreadfully ap prehensive that the next Congress in a spasm of Holmanic economy will abolish the office as a sinecure. But small as it is Bra Sanderlin had a time in getting it. He was prom ised everything from Asst.
