;vry ut the principles of the

: fua.ire:

reniove the tax on State bank

l-iif passed by affimative legisla-ti-.n
requiring the concurrence of all
three branches of the law-making

tjaainted with the situ.vtion can be
lieve for a moment that these meas
ures tjould be passed under such
circumstances. The power of that
combined capital which has forest
he calling of the extra session and
threatening to destroy again, and
lally, the use cf t'le silver money,
fuld certainly be able to influence
least one branch of the legisla
-J department, which would be
-3eieut for their purposes. Be

tapt good politics as well as good

Slitional repeal of the Sherman
'trusting to the justice of capi
i jbr the chapter of accidents to tret
rable legislation thereafter, is
4r a traitor or a fool.
HE SUBMITS AND CONFESSES.
That "open letter" to Capt. Ashe,
the editor of the News and Observe ,
has been read and enjoyed by fifty
thousand people in North Carolina.
lut it was read by none more care
fully than by Mr. Ashe himself, lie
read it stinging ami smarting under
the terrible arraignment, aud then
lie reread it looking for something in
it to w hich to reply. In his drupe-ration
he at iast selects the follow in"
sentence and attempts tw reply to it:
"On repeated occasions the Demo
cratic party has ignored and repudi
ated yon (Sam Ashe) and emphasized
it3 condemnation."
His attempt to reply to this is a
humble and pitiable confession that
it is true. To the charge that he is a
"turn coat" on the sub-Treasury he
does not attempt to reply. To the
charge that he was l lenders cki m
isis in the election fraud busines?,
he fcilcitly submits. To the charge
that he r adily and easily changes
his position or political principles
(if he has any) to serve monopoly
irrespective of the" interests of the
people he passes over as unanswera
ble. To the charge that he lias been
a bolter and disorganize!' an "apos
tle of discord," he submits as too
evident to be denied. Yes, Captain,
your feeble attempt at a reply is it
self very strong proof of the truth
and force of every charge in that
lowerful l'hilipic. In fact it took
off the hide and laid bare your
hypocracy and servility. As a pitia
ble object "my dear Captain" you ac
a winner.

iK-ar reader, did it ever occur to
you why the Wilmington it Weldon
Railroad Mtssenger is hounding down
such Democrats as Alexander and
Uroughton with even more dogged
persistence and venom than any one
outside of the party? It is
afraid that if it does not drive these
men out of the Democratic party,
that the people will leain
that they are better "Democrats than
the editor of the Messenger, Tom
Jarvis, Matt Hansom, and inen o1" that
kidney. Alexander and Uroughton
believe in using the railroads of the
country in the interest of the people,
instead of bleeding the people for the
benefit of a few imported individuals.
The Messenger is a railroad organ,
and the railroads are trying to lay
down a faith and creed that a Demo
crat must believe. This is very nec
essary, because the railroads have
decided to use the Democratic party
as a tool to further their own greedy
and selfish purpose. The ear of the
ass sticks out of the lion skin very
plainly.
A prominent Democrat after read
ing Senator Vance's letter said :
"Vance is right, but I am afraid his
letter will hurt the Democratic par
ty." If it will hurt the Democratic
party for a Statesman, who has been
put on the watch tower by the peo
ple, to preach the gospel of pure
Democracy und to give the alarm
when the enemy approaches (even
though that enemy wears the same
label) then what is the matter with
the party? The people know and
they will soon answer at the ballot
box.
Lady Macbeth Caldwell, who tried
to screw up the courage of the weak
and halting Macbeth Legislature, to
the point of committing murder on
the Alliance, and who was sore dis
tressed aud disgusted,because the dark
lantern Clideonite deed failed of ex
edition, is now whining because the
State does not tax the Alliance Busi
ness Aereucv out of existence. If
j
Lady Macbeth thinks that the Demo
cratic party can survive an extra
session of that Legislature, it might
trv the experiment. Ijie Cauoa-
si an will not object.
An advertiser who is running the
same advertisement in several of the
large State weeklies, and in several
large papers published in other
States writes us, that he has gotten
three times as many orders from the
advertisement in The Caucasian
than from any other paper in which
he has advertised. If any one wishes
to know who this advertiser is, write
us and we will give you the name of
the party.
Strike the church of Christ, strike
even the wife of your bosom, but
for 's sake dou't strike the dear old
Democratic party.
The authors and devotees of the
above satanic doctrine, are now hurl
ing anathemas at Senator Vance's
gray head.
How many Democrats can you
find in North Carolina who feel like
singing "Its Grover, Grover, four
more years of Grover." When they
do sing it again it will be a plaintive
wail from a sad heart.

Washington-, I. C. July 'j IH'Xi,
At a meeting of the Congress n
commerce ami Kinance of the Chi
cago Kxpo.sition a paper was read by
Mr. .1. II Walk er, a member of the
Congress that pas.ned the Sherman
act in which he eonfeKen the the ut-
lolJy, and wisdom of hi nartv in
passing that act, and in the manage-
ent our of currency generally. Its
cord he produces in the shape of a
statement of the various kinds of
money" it has made the Treasury
sponsible for keeping at par.

all of which Congressman Walker
says is dependent on less than $200,-
000,000 for redemption. A more
mistaken statement could only have
been made by the "Wall Street gold
ring of bunco steers."
For every dollar of the gold cer
tificate s in circulation there is a gold
dollar in the treasury to redeem it.
The silver certificates reads:
"This certifies there has been de
posited in the United States, five sil
ver dollars payable on demand,''
and the silver dollars are there to
pay every certificate. The treasury
notes issued under act July 14th "JO
known as the the Sherman law are
payable in gold or silver coin, at the
option of the secretary of the treas
ury. 1 he currency certificates are
payable in currency, and national
bank notes are redeemable in United
States notes.
Here is a member of Congress
who voted for the Sherman law, and
is represented, to be a first class fi
nancial man in Massachusetts shows
his ignorance of the laws which he
help to make and which only in
tends to oppress the middle and poor
classes of the American people, and
to enrich the gold bugs of the cities.
COUSIN A DLAI'S COUSIN.
"The North Carolinians seems to
be exceedingly anxious for officers"
said Mr. Brevard Stevenson, a cousin
of Vice President Stevenson, last
night in one of the hotels. "I think
there are more people from my State
wanting and seeking prominent ap
pointments, than any other State of
the same s!ze in the Union. There
are aLeady a large number of appli
cations for positions in the Depart
ments, ranging in rank and pay from
ministerships to Treasury agents.
The North Carolina Senators and
Members of Congress have been kept
busy ever since Cleveland's inaugura
tion endorsing applications for vari
ous places, and annoying the Presi
dent and his Secretaries by introduc
ing ofhee seekers. Soon after the in
auguration, the delegation formed a
High Joint Committee with Senator
Kunsom as chairman, to apportion
out the Federal patronage of the
State. Any applicant, who could
not pass a clear political examina
tion by this Committee was invaria
bly turned down. Whenever a per
son made application for an office,
his standing as a Democrat was re
ferred to the High Joint, Committee.
If found worthy, and well qualified
politically, he was recommended for
position, and the chairman was in
structed to ask for his or her ap
pointment. Sach has been the state
of affairs ever since the inauguration
of Mr. Cleveland, aud until his
proclamation for an extra session of
Congress in August, Then the High
Joint Committee took a recess, and
the office-seekers did likewise.
"As to myself" naid Mr. Steven
son, "I am not asking for any big
thing from this Administration. 1
only want a small place at a living
salary. I have been here several
months hoping to get a place. I
went, up to see Cousin Adlai Steven
son, the Vice Presiden , a few days
before he went away, to jisk him to
help tne get a plac lie said he
would be pleased to help me, 'but
you know,' said Cousin Adlai, 'it is
an unwritten law that a Vice Presi
dent never has auy influence with an
administration, so you see my chances
to help you are very slim. Have
you seen the printed list of cousins
that the newspapers are crediting me
with,' said the Vice President 'It
runs up pretty high in numbers.'
"My Vice Presidential Cousui con
tinued saying: 'when he was Post
master General under Cleveland, he
could help his kin. He had power
to chop off heads and make places
for both kin and friends, but now
it was very different. I have no
power. I "have only two appoint
ments. One is the door-keeper of the
Vice President's room in the Capitol,
and the other is the Senate barber.
I believe the barber shop come3 un
der my control. The Vice President
formerly had control of the restau
rant, but even that is taken away
from him and given to the Commit
tee on Kules, hence Cousin Joe

that.' When he told me thi. mv
Jjair rose on end. I always thought
the V ice President was a mighty big
man in position, but yon i how
easily we country jieople are fuoletL
During the campaign, I thought
Cousin Adlai was the popular end of
the ticket, from the way our Demo
cratic people put it to us, but now I
find out that he U uot near as big a
man among the President'! Cabinet
as is our new Governor with our
legislature.
"I shall hang on upon the ragged
edges until Congress convenes, when
I hoj to get something either in the
Senatt or the House."

Democratic Prosperity has (struck
not only Winston, but is sweeping
over the entire country, would it not
be a good kb.u, aud very appropriate,
to enter the name of tne present ad

I think we should look well to this

should look well for an appropriate

Winston, N. C, Jiy 2Gth,
Mr. "Mauyann," Dear Bro.
After I got home Saturday from
Spanish Grove, where you made such
a grand and unanswerable speech,
and told about the frauds all over
the State last November at the polls,
I went to work to think out a plan
to catoh the rascals, and this is my
plan. On election day at the polls
we can have three men, true and
honest, who will act as our judges,
who shall have a register, and then
every man who votes the P. P. ticket
can qualify before these judges that
they voted for the candidates of our
party.
This plan will work if we will do
our duty and register our votes as
cast for reform, and we can catch
every rascal who steals a vote, as all
the election machinery is in the
hands of our enemies we will be
compelled to use some plan to count
our votes.
I have told several my plan and
all express themselves in its favor,
and think it will work like a chai-Ji
and tell a history untold.
God bless you Brother Butler, and
may he ever help you defeud the
people's cause. It seems to me the
goal is almost in sight
To show you how fast we are go
ing to the wall I will site you to a
few facts. My tax is $30.00 a year.
Tobacco used to sell on the Winston
market for 50 cents per pound, crop
round, then GO pounds of tobacco
would have brought me enough dol
lars to pay my tax. Now, tobacco
averages about 5 cents per pound
(my two last crops did) so it takes
GOO pounds of tobacco to get $30.00.
So 1 have to produce 540 pounds
more tobacco now to get $30.00 than
I did when there was $50.00 per
capita and tobacco was high.
Wheat used to sell at $2.00 per
bushel, then 15 bushels would have
paid my tax. Now wheat sells at
50 cents per bushel, and hence it
takes 60 bushels to pay my tax. So
you can see how much more of every
thing I have got to raise to get a lit
tle of the bosses money. Why the
people submit to such systems of
roboery is astonishing to me.

hat are we coming to anyway?
Here are a half dozen Democratic
newspapers denouncing the New
Hanover Hank failure as a robbery,
a crime "and demanding the indict
ment and punishmeiit of the bank
oflicials. This won't do. Simmons
should at once call a meeting of the
State Central Committee and issue a
pronunciamento against this reck-
abuse of "prominent Democrats."
Brother Laffaty, of the Kichmond
Christian Advocate, is in a great
stew over the possibilities of negro
civilization, lis sees in the near
future negro plutocrats, negro social
reformers, a nt-gro aristocracy, and
immediately following these "condi
tions he sees miscegination rampant
lie uraws revolting picture of indo
lent, shitless, inpecuious young white
men marrying "rich mullatoes," aud
appeals to the children of Ix-es old
soldiers to stop this incipient negro
uprising by abolishing the colored
public schools! Oh! Lafferty! Laf
ferty! Lafferty! sincerily you are not
in earnest? Can it be true that the
Democratic party in Virginia is re
duced to such desperation? Das it
stolen the livery of heaven to serve
the devil? Educate the negro anu
he is the equal in intelligence of the
white man, at the balljt box. That
ends ballot box stuffing. That ends
the Democratic party. And that s
what's the matter with Lafferty.
The Democratic party is getting
pretty low and its cause growing
very desperate when it is compelled
to resort to such methods. It is an
insult to the memory of Lee and the
soldiers who followed him in Vir
ginia. It is an insult to the intelli
gence of Virginians. It is a shame
ful exhibition of Democratic inbe
cil.ty. Whn Tom Jarvis read Vance's
silver letter he said, with the ring
of victory in his voice, "Bully for
V ance. It makes mince meat of
Ransom. Elias Carr. was riirht.
Elias was not a brilliant campaigner.
He knew what he said when he said,
'Kansom was uot iu it.' " Well, it
does look as if Lias was about right.
All the same, better watch Ransom.
There is more iu his strut than in
some people's promises. He possess-
eses infinite resources, rallies quickly,
recuperates aud "comes again with
marvelous expedition. Dead to-day,
convalescent to-morrow, strong as "a
ung giant refreshed with wine
the wine" the next: management of
the skin-of the-teeth sort is his.
Watch him, Tom's "eternal vigilance
is the price of the next Democratic
caucus nomination. But why this
agitation over aa empty honor?
When the black counties are heard
from we will know whether there
are enough Democrats in the Legis
lature to organize a caucus.
Town-lot Simmons will succeed
Revenue Collector White early in
August. The little promoter was
getting hungry, impatient and uu
eas', but "the boss" has quieted his
fears with the assurance of an early
square meal. His manipulation of
the machine in Ransom's interest
will not be as a disinterested specta
tor himself. Simmons, as some peo
ple know, has a soft side for Tom
Jarvis. Or did, rather, until
Tom moved into the State
house at R a 1 e i g h. The end
oc Simmons uosr-lookinar mus
tache grows threeinches every time
he looks luto Elias Carr s face.
There is a deep and damnable mys
tery about this business that will,
some day, come to light.
"Three years of free silver in this
country" says au eminent New York
financier, "means Standing armies
in England and Germany to sup
press labor and bread-riots." L"t,
"em howl" Joe Daniels says the
Sherman law which adds $140,000
to the country's circulation ought
to be repealed "because it Uepreci
ates our currency." Stuff and non
sense. But why protest against this
young sponge making a fool ,of him
self? They sav that he has Won
dined his hair aud is kiiown in Wash
ington as Hoke Smiths yellow head

A harrowing report comes from
Washington that deputy Auditor
Sanderlin is about to resign. He
seems, on the 4th of July, and
rather boastfully claimed to be the
cock-robbiu who shot (Jen. Phil
Kearney in the unmentionable part
of his anatomy, at Chautillv. The
G. A. L. men are after him with a
hot poker. As deputy Auditor he
adjudicates pension claims, and the
G A. K. people swear that his auto
graph shall not desecrate their pen
sion certificates! The tni th is, one
hundred men can be found who will
swear that they shot Kearney,, when
he made Ins dash for liberty, and
unless Sanderlin avails himself ofthis
loophole of escape, he stands a good
show for a "grand bounce." Some
men are wise only when they are
muzzled.

Ckdau Creek, X. ('., X. C. July "Jo.
hniTOR Catcasiak. Cedar ( reek,
as an Allianee stronghold has won
the palm. We had the pleasure of
attending the picnic on the '21st
makiug one of the delighted twenty-
two hundred who assembled to listen
to the thrilling eloquence of Harry
Skinner, theBsilver tonuged advocate
of the people's rights under the con
stitution. We have seen, "during a
long life, many assemblages, for va
rious purposes, and can safely say
we have never before seen just such
a one as that. Col. .Skinner was
met one mile from town and under
the escort of the Cedar Creek Cor
net Club, one hundred and fifty-
eight mounted men and boys on
foot, was triumphantly escort d to the
point of speaking. One of the
most beautiful oak groves in the
county almost symmetrical m pnqior
tions and surroundings. Xow the
Col. doffed his chapau, and made
his best bow to the beautiful and
accomplished daughters and manly,
sons of one of the best sec
tions of our glorious old State. His
speech was one of great force and
was heartily endorsed by au audi
enee of two thousand two hundred.
It was one of the Col's happiest and
most successful efforts. iotell the
truth and drive it home without giv
ing offense, requires much tack and
super-excellent manipulation of lan
guage. In this respect our cham
pion was eminently successful in
pleasiug everybody. We heard the
highest encomiums uttered by men
who claim to be diametrically op
posed to his teachings.
The twenty-first of July was a red
letter day for the Alliance at this
point, the effects of which will be
felt for all time to come.
Faithfully,

a fund was raised for the pur

The platform adoptol i reported
to have been writteu by editor I'ur-
son, who is decidedly the ablest man
in the party. It was brought up
from Kichmond in printed slips. It
leclares (1) for free silver coinage at
the ratio of l(i to 1. Ji a national
eurrem.-y issued by the general gov
ernment and distributed dire -tly to
the people on the security of their
property; uti the imposition of a
rigid income tax; and ( It a reform
of the tariff aud internal revenue
laws. It also denounces the present
election laws of the State as parti
san, and demands their repeal and
the substitut ion of a n in-partisan
law.
The preamble to the platform se
verely arraigns President Cleveland,
who was elected for the express
purpose of relieving the people from
the robberies of the Mckinley tariff,
but w ho calls Congress, not to re
peal the robber tariff, but to con
summate the fraud of lS7.t, which
demonetized silver.'

Andrew Jackson it was who said,
"if congress has the right under the
constitution to is-ue 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 w hom 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 au abundant one for every neces
sary purpose."

to oust the negro postmaster at Wil

out 1 1 i 1 1 Stronach in Kaleigh with
out "bruising the t-kiii," how not to
see the 3.000 names on Hill Old
ham's iH'tition for the Wilmiii"um
post-oflice, are worrying some of the
"liori-fes that, however settled, will
make "Koine how l" later on.
A PAIR UK .1 KFKKItSUM A N S.
Hill Kerchner and Kfll Oldham
are here. The smell of must is on
their Democracy. They are Jeffer-
sonians, und "a good pair to iday to."
MM .1 "'
i ney iraue only on the square.
Kerchner wouldn't trade for a seat
around the big white throne. Old-
ham is a burly, red-headed covenant
er, and that mean "hitting above
the belt," Such men don't unit "the
machine." They are "back num
bers." They u e it lies, and projtcrly
belong to the museum of Democratic
curio.
Oldham wants the post-ollice, and
says he will get it or turn thing
topsy-turvey, politically, in New
Hanover. The machine crowd laugh
at his threats and say that hi "pull"
iu county politic is a thing of th
past. lint the sir ret of Oldham'
eonlidencc is the belief that he ban
got "the drop" on Kansom. And
that is the chorus every fellow sing
who is an Hjjdicaut for oflice. They"
are afl going to hold Kauom rcejioti
sible and he may look out for break
ers. When Oldham tdiook the crease
out of his yard-long Ktition in the
post-office department yesterday, the
Postmaster-General gasped ami fell
back in his chair. "What on earth
docs this mean what have I done?"
he exclaimed. The bluntold Scotch
man replied, "Kansom told me to do
it. He said he said it was a 'picctiou
of petition aju that he wanted me to
h.tve the place. Here it is, and here
I am." The jietition contain 3,o00
names, and its autograph decorations
are bold, aggressive and com maiding.
It is wrotig to keep this guileless old
man who has been doing the wxl
hewing and water-drawing for the
Democratic party for a half century
here iu exectation of the apjtoint
ment. It is way out of his sight.

When silver was demonetized by
the Kepublicans in 1873, the white
metal was worth $1.32 an ounce.
Cotton brought 20 cents per pound
in AtlaDta and wheat fl.oo per
bushel. To-day 1803 silver is
worth 73 cents au ounce, cotton 7
cents a pound, and wheat i cent a
bushel. And then talk about a sin

zation of silver ! Iiosh. Worse than
