The progrees of American journalism from servi tude to freedom has been th much tribulation. Macaulay declares that th- history of Knglishlibertv is the record of t he. strnf.rles of tl English press for freedom from 'ov- ie -rn mental scrutiny. 1 he emancipation of the press of trie united States from governmental restriction and from the ancient doctrines of political and personal libel is complete. The people are in full and absolute possession of all means of information concerning their rights and privileges, and of all invasion and abridgement by the neglect or misconduct of their repre sentatives and magistrates. Instead of the press being under the censor ship of the goverr merit as in other countries, here the government is under the censorship of the press. The most important safeguard against the dangers of an unlicensed and irresponsible press is in the enormous multiplication of newspa pers. No journal, und no combina tion of journals under one system, can become strong enough to swerve, suppress or distort the public judg ment. If a Kepublican paper is started in a community, the Demo crats immediately establish an organ of their own. So that every question which concerns the people is pre sented from all points of view, argu ments are repeated until they become a part of the intellectual possessions; of the most illiterate and policies are measured and weighed by the stand ards of an enlightened judgment." There is much truth and at the same time much that is misleading in the above. The ex-Senator fail to locate or to name the power that is subsidizing the Democratic as well as I'epuhlieau papers on certain questions. The fact that you have a Democratic and Kepublican paper does not at all menu that you will get all public questions ventilated. Through some mysterious influence the mouths of Democratic u well as Kepublican papers have been closed about the evils of the money power, Even an independent paper like the Washington Tost, keeps mum. This has made the Alliance and 1'opnlist press a necessity, for the nionev question is the greatest one now before the American people. No paper that stands for the single gold standard and the monopoly of money should be called a Democratic, Uepublican or Independent paper. Let the mask be taken off and brand them all as gold-bug papers. There are now but two parties in America, the gold and the anti-gold party To which do you belong? WAS IT A POLITICAL ADDRESS? We clip the following from the News it Observer : "Col. Waddell's address on Social ism is a timely discussion of a very important movement among the peo ple of this country, and there are few speakers more capable of pre senting it in a proper light thau the eloquent Wilmingtonian. We would be glad if an arrangement could be made for him to deliver his address at every court house in Xorth Caro lina. In some parts of the country many persons have adopted ideas which, if carried to their logical conclusion, would revolutionize our entire system of government, and place the best, interests of the people in jeopardy, while utterly destroying the vital principles of our boasted liberty." Will not the politicians object to getting politics in the colleges? The following is a sample of the kind of editorial squibs that are now appearing in the administration pa pers : "If the free silver advocates are wise thev will prepare a few speeches on the rights of the minority' and have them ready for the extra ses sion." Does this not make Hon. C. B. Avcock and other houest Democrats feel bad. Yes Mr. Aycock's heart is now heavy, for he is an honorable man. He pledged himself to the people and to free silver last fall on the stump. He did this in a manly and non-partisan way. He brought great joy to the hearts of the people when he said' that if the Democratic party did uot stick to these pledges and give the people relief that then he was done with the Democratic party and would go with the people, for they knew he was an honorable man and would stand by. his principles rather than by party. Yes Mr. Ajcock is no doubt sad and sorely dieappointed with his party, but we congratulate the people, for they will no doubt have this able champion on their side in the next fight against the . combined power now labelled Republico-Democracy. We suppose the tariff is not rob bing the people much now. We nev er hear anything about it tf. AX OPKX LiriTKR TO CARTA N ASHE, ED TCR CF THE RALEiGH NEWS Sl OBSERVER.

It will reach thousands of eaer readers through Tub Cait.vsian, and the people will understand how deeply I am concerned that the truth should be known. The essential difference between you and l.utler is in adher ing to "first principles." J.utkr ad vocates the sub-treasury or ware house, plan as a means of financial relief. So did you only a short while a-o, w ith great force and vehemence. Iiutler advocates bi-metalicisiu. So did you until within the last few days. You have abandoned that and now sav that the world (includ ing India, of course, is against silver as a iiiomy metal, Diitler advocates the free coinage of silver. So does the State Demo cratic platform, and so did you until stumped on the India scare-crow. Dutler advocates a revision of the tariff. So does the national and St tl" Democratic platforms, and you. dear Captain, were profoundly agi tated about the .Melvinnley bill up to the very dav of the election. Your! editorials on the taiiff constitute a I part of the imperishable literature on that great question, and they have oeeii carefully archived, let me hope. tor the intellectual diversion of your readtrs two and four years hence. Hutler advocates an income tax. So does the State Democratic platform and so do you. 1'iit both you and the platform are likely to change front on this question. Hutler advocates honest elections. You are as dumb as a December oystei in the faee of the most out rageous election frauds ever perpe trated on a fiee people. You knew when the State election law va. passed that its purpose was ballot box robbery. You know to-day that in twenty counties iu North Carolina in the last election twenty thousand illegal votes were polled and at least twenty thousand more legal votes were illegally suppressed. Butler prote. ts against siu-h fraud. You do not. The repeal of the ten per cent, tax on State banks is your hobby, or at least it was only a day or two ago. You advocate, in this connection, the hoarding oi' yoid as a reserve fund. Thus from a bi-metalic and free coin age advocate of la.t week, you out Herod Herod as a gold-bug of to-day. Butler advocates a stable, uniform, cheap, elastic, sound national cur rency. The agricultural interests of the country demand such a currency-. Everybody who possesses a thimble full of common sense knows that our financial conditions have entirely changed since the honest, debt-pay. mg days of State banks, lou hold on to your hobby with some show of persistency, but I shall be surprised if you do not soon abandon it. I notice that our members of Congress from North Carolina, particularly those "Alliancemen of Democratic faith," are taking the cue from you and are about ready to surrender the Sherman act for the repeal of the State bank tax. Woe be unto them when thev do it! Butler urges the people to iade. pendent political action, believing that neither of the two old parties will give them the legislation they demand. If that is a crime you are to a great extent responsible for it. You weie Senator Merrimon's law partner when he was a candidate for re-election to the United States Sen ate. Merrimoa was a bolter. He was elected to the Senate over Vance by Republican votes. He was de nounced, maligned, cursed, seorued throughout the State. His name was j a bv-word ond a reproach.

You flooded the State with literature formentiug the iudependentism that has since found a permanent abiding place in the politics of this State. Yon, then, wei'e the "apostle of dis cord and opposition to the Demo cratic party." You gallently lead the "forlorne hope." Tlie seed you then distributed is the wholesome bread that is now feeding the hosts of independent "Alliancemen of the Democratic faith." Truly, my good Samaritan, it was "bread cast upon the waters." At that time Marion Butler was a bare-footed boy run ning at large iu the huckleberry swamps of "sweet Sampson" with a bell around his neck. It was an eventful Saturday afternoon he diked out in his Sunday clothes and walked in to Clinton to help the town boys shoot marbles and whittle dry goods boxes. A copy of the Raleigh Observer, then edited by Sanders and Hale, containing your famous back door eorresponderce, fell into his hands. From every section of the State there appeared a letter from "one of the people" breathing the spirit of revolt against the "Demo eratie machine." It set his ambitious young soul on fire. It was that in spiration that has made him the idol ized leader of "Alliancemen of Dem ocratic faith" who are now in revolt against the same old "Demoeratie machine." Merrimon God bless his memory a pure, noble, upright, God-fearing, honest man, was crushed by the machine. He was never forgiven. Even his elevation ' to the Chief Justiceship of our Supreme Court did not protect him against the ma levolent resentment of the "machine Democrats," who are loudest in the denunciation of Marion Butler, and GOLDSBOKO.

KX'-SKS. 1TMIC INtiAM.S HAS A GOOD oi-imok hi- Tin: ik..ioci;atii: I'AIiTV. We clip the following from a long article in the New York World by John .1. Ingalls : "Macauhiy describes a class of Englishmen who preferred to p'.rish by precedent rather than to be saved by innovation. In the United States these would be Democrats, and in casting the political horoscope the continued existence of the Demo cratic party, its successors and us signs, must be taken for granted as inevitable. It is imperishable, be cause it rests upon the basis of nega tion. It is opposed to any change in the status (pio. Were there no Dem ocratic party in being, it would be instantaneously evolved unon the presentation ot any programme pro posing aturmative action by the Gov ernment in any direction upon any subject. At every sttp of our historic ad vance towards nationally the Demo cratic party has been steauf. st and immovable in opposition. All that has been done has been in violation of the Constitution. Since it has been accomplished, thev acquiesce, but insist that nothing more shall be done. They opposed the coercion of the seceding States, the draff, na tional banks, the issue of bonds, the LegaUTendcr act, the abolition of slavery, the prosecution of the war. negro suffrage, resumption of specie payments, the homestead laws, rail road land grants, and a protective tarirf as unconstitutional, but there is no more danger of discrimination against important American indus tries by Cleveland's Administration j than there is of repudiation of the natioual debt or the abrogation of the constitutional amendments. Democrats have politically neither conscience, courage nor convictions. They are consistent in nothing but inconsistency. They have made no professions they have not abandoned, advocated no policy from which the have not retreated. They have al ternately denounced and supported every measure advanced by their ad versaries and fonietimes simultane ously, as when thev have demanded r tne sucar f Domsiuna the pro tCCtlOU they Have dell led to tlie iron , 1 1 .- ot 1 eimsy Ivauia, Pretending to be in favor of the free coinage of silver, they supported a Presidential candidate whom they knew to be unalterably opposed to it and who would promptly veto a bill should it pass. His proposition for an income tax, which sent them into epileptic convulsions during the war as an odious, inquisitorial invasion of human liberty, they accept with out a murmur of protest, and under the pitiless scourgings of his con tempt for their greed of oilice they whimperingly cringe with snariing servility." The growth of the Xorth Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts has been very remarkable. Starting four years ago with one building and five professors present, and with little equipment, it now has six buildings, fifteen prolessors and teachers, and a complete equipment in many technical lines. It gradu ated its first class in June, but tt once many of these young men step ped into lucrative and responsible positions. Its announcement appears in this issue. "THE ONLY M KNACK."

Even a makeshift" is better than nothing, lhose who would imif repeal the "makeshift" without giving us free and unlimited coinage, or at least a better silver law in its siead, are greater enemies to the people than John Sherman and the Kepublicans who passed the "cowardly make shift." The danger to the people lies in the seareety of legal tender dollars. The scarcer they are the easier it is for a few men to control them; ami the men who can control the legal tender dollars control (he whole eir ( illation. They can lix the price ol cotton, of wheat, and of every othei commodity created by labor. In short they (an fix the'price of your labor, make the dollar harder to get. and make your debts harder to pay. Therefore the man who will subiiut to a single gold standard (even though he were given State banks as the price thereof) would be cross ing the threshold of slavery, from which he would never be. able to re turn. State bank paper is not. and cannot be made, legal tender. Cnder a sinnle roid standard, everv .lol- !ar of paper put o-it by State banks must be based on cold; and therefore every dollar will be at the mercy ot the gold bugs. If State banks must come at the perilous price of the gold standard, it will be the dearest folly that ha ever cursed an honest peo ple, and blighted a rich and prosper--,'s country. Now in the light oi the above facts let me urge upon you. as members of a nonpartisan organi zation, at every meeting and gather ing of the people, to offer resolutions and get up petitions calling upon every congressman, irrespective ot party, a;al especially upon the con gressman representing your district, not to vote to repeal the present sil ver law until fiee and unlimited coin age (or at least a better "makeshift") can be secured instead. Every Alliancemau will sign such a petition because he is fighting for reform and justice on principle, and will gladly receive relief from any party. Every Democrat should sign such a petition, for nothing short ol such honest dealings on the part ot the people can and ought to save the Democratic party. And every pa triot in every other party ought to sign such a petition, because it is right and in the interest of common humanity. It is no time for traitors, Tories or partisans! If we can't check and defeat the dark and bold schemes to enslave the wealth pro ducers of America, nuw, pray when can we? When will we be stronger? Will it be when prices aie still lower, when money is still scarcer, and debts still harder to pay? Will it be when the gold shackles are firmly placed upon the arms of laboi and industry,' "Give me liberty or give cue death," said the immortal Patrick Henry, when the dangers threatening American liberty was slight com pared to what it is now. Then we fought British bayonets, now we must fight British gold a power still more dangerous and dreaded it kills but it kills with poverty and starvation The hour has come when every patriot must strike for indus trial freedom. D.et every member of the Alliance do his duty and prove himself a patriot. Let every member of the Alliance do his duty and prove himself a patriot. Pile your petitions on congressmen. If they fall on ueat ears there, they will be heard from ocean to ocean before the ides of November IS'j'.i, MaKIoN Bl'TI-KK. Pres. N. L. F. S. A. JEFFERSON AND JACKSON Were Opposed to Kanks of Iftue Hotli State and National. Andrew Jackson it was who said, "if congress 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 corporations." 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 knew how the Democrats, who thought .that they had tricked the Alliauce in nominating you, ridiculed you, poked all manner of fun at von. said you were an ignoramus and all that. I heard that Senator h'ansom had unwittingly said t a Kinsman of yours in Dauville that your nouiina tion was the greatest calamity the State had ever sustained. When the convention repudiated Tom Ilolt.lw ho by every precedent ami Us;i;e wa entitlel to the nomination, ami sel ected ja, I knew it was not from any love the Democrats had for von.

My ears burn now when J recall ah the mean, couteuiptable things th Democrats said about you how the. laughed and jeered at your s hooi boy attempts to make a speech, and how, getting their cue from Sim mons, they talked about your penur ioiisness in contributing tu the cam paign fund and all that. What Sim mons ..aid about you he said about almost every prominent Democrat ii; the State who was ;ot in the poor house. He talked scandalously aboul Tom Holt's .flOt) contribution" to th. campaign fund. And hu. had th. gall to do it, tuo, after he Simmons! had been largely instrumental in de feating his nomination. It was sai! at the time, iu the eojjyeu.ioii. that Simmons cast two voien against Hop one a a delegate from Forsyth county and one as a delegate from Craven county. He had recent lv moved to Winnton where he had manipulated a land improvement company into a hole in the ground. Well, you were elected despite every thing. Democrats like Kobbins voted for you with hands oyer their noses. It w as a natueau. dose, they said, but that they would swallow it just this one time. I voted for you, of course, but dear Brother Carr let me tell you frankly, I thought that I had voted in the air. I didn't know about the arrangements between Bill Day, Tom Emery and Simmons, Nor did I know of the understanding between Eaves acd Simmons. The result was a great surprise to me, but no sooner did I realize it than I felt as if I had stolen something. I lwive intended to see you and talk this matter over with you and hear from vour nw-r. lips that you disapproved of such methods. 1 have looked for some expression or protest from you through the newspapers, but I sup pose a Democratic paper would hard ly publish anything of the kind if you wished it. But this all aside from tle object of my letter. During the campaign you had but one speech. anu after repeating it one hundred or more time you had the whole tariff question at the eads of vour finger.-.. You evaded the schedules and ratios and all that with the skill of a professional. You m;de it s. plain to the fanner that thb tarii'i was responsible for bid crop ami tow prices and tin. general uistr. s in the land. I f.-lt that, at last, the great economic miction which had been the subject of tierce party con tention since the organization of our government was about to be settled. 1 felt that the solution of it had been found. Tho only "if" in the way was the election of (.rover Cleveland and a Democratic Congress. Demo cratic success, you said, meant relief for the people from unnecessary, un just and inhjuitious taxation. Your burning words are ringing in my ears as I write this letter. Well, Governor, we've got i rover, a Detn- OCrallC House ami a Democratic emocratic j luive had Senate. The Democrats undisturbed possession of all branches of the government since the 4th of March. For weeks and w eeks I watched th daily papers ex pecting to see the President's procla mation calling Congress together for the purpose of giving the farmers a Democratic tariff in place of the Mc Kinnely bill, which I remember you characterized as "highway robbery.''" When I "saw in the papers that yon were in Washington and at the White House I felt absolutely certain the extra session would be called at once. I was disappointed, chagrined, disgusted. There was considerable revolt in my neighborhood among "Alliancemen of the Democratic faith,'5 and I was doing my best to quief it. I preached patience - urged my brethren to give Grover a chance, but when your return from Wash ington was not followed by an im mediate extra session it was no good talking. They have gone horse, foot and dragoon into the inde pendent camp and swear that they will tight it out on that line if it takes all of tw summers. I write to ask you, Governor, what I shall do?
