We thick the people that criticised President Cleveland for leaving Washington and going to "Buzzard's Bay" are unjust, or at least their criticisms are uncalled for. It is the duty of congress to legislate; the President is an executive officer. In fact it is not necessary for the Presi dent to even send a message to con gress. But certainly after he had sent in his message expressing his opinion, it would have been very im proper for him to use his position to pervert the will of the people, as ex pressed by their representatives in congress. Even if there had been no domestic affairs to call the Presi dent to "Buzzard's Bay," it not only would not have been proper to have gone, but in our opinion been very good taste. "Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother, usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of anything that is lent upon usury." This reads well, but how i3 a man to live without work under such a rule ?

We, the delegates or the People's Party of Virginia, in convention as sembled, representing the will of our people, set forth this declaration of our principles, and demands for relief from existing oppression. We renew our unswerving allegi ance to that Magna Charta of our liberties, the Virginia Bill of rights, adopted by the convention of June 12th, 177, and we again aflirm the great fundamental right it asserts, "that all power is vested in and de rived from the people." This right has been subverted, until to-day all power is vested in and derived from money. We declare that it is the violation of this right which has im poverished us. Our products are selling below the cost of production; our lands are valuless except to sup port the State by taxation; labor is ground down, and goes unemployed, we are compelled to make bricks without straw, to pay taxes without money, to support many useless offi cers in unaccustomed luxury, and to foot the bills for governmental ex travagances we can ill afford. We have had promise of government economically administered until hope has given place to despair. The party now in power claim that they "never had a chance, while, in fact, they have many times had a large majority in the Lower House of Congress, and have recently prov d to the country that they had "chance" enough to increase their own salaries. They ni'ght at least have outlined a polcy which would have inspired the people with confidence. The money power of the world is now turned agains us to deprive us of the money of the constitution, and there sits in the Presidential Chair, armed with the veto power, the most pronounced and determined opponent of silver mouey, inviting and awaiting the dictation of Europe to direct the ac tion of an American Congress. Mr. Cleveland was elected for the ex press purpose of relieving "the poor, down-trodden tax pavers from the robberies of the McKinley tariff;" that tariff is presumably still rob bing the people, and yet he called an extra session of Congress, not to repeal "the robber tariff;" but to consumate the fraud of 1873, which demonetized silver, the free coinage of which Mr. Cleveland declares to be "the only menace" to the coun try's prosperity. The only remedy they propose is to base the currency on interest bearing bonds, entailing taxation on the people. It is admitted that the credit of the government is ample enough for the spundest currency. The credit of the government rests upon the power given to Congress upon the constitution to tax 65,000, 000,000 of people who own $60,000, 000,000 of property, and would any sane man refuse a currency with such a power behind it? We cannot here enumerate in de tail the long list of unfilled pledges made to the people by the Democratic party. They have ac nuiesced in the vicious legislation in- iated and enacted by the Republi cans to enrich the few at the ex nense of the great body of the peo rde: and to-dav ncn ana powenui . . -i i i corporations dictate the party's ac tion, making it veritamy tne party of plutocracy. Have we tared any uetter in our Sfafp administration. which has lieen under exclusive Democratic control for nearly eight years? We are still living under the Under wood Constitution, which Democrats could not hud language strong enough to denounce until they got possession of the countless offices it created. Need we remind you of the promises made two years ago in the legislative canvass, and how ut terly every pledge was ignored? Did the legislatue keep a single promise made to the people in tnac eanvat& In the meantime the despotic power given to the Democratic party n rider the Anderson-Cormick law has been 'fully developed, and under cover of that legislative abomination crimes are instigated, committed and countenanced by the party ruiers W. would in the ordiuary trans action of life between man and man send the prepetrators and their abet tors to the penitentiary to wear stripped suits with shaven neaus. Under a free government a man s liWtv is bound up with ms oanoi, TKa Aw afprnard for his freedom is his ability to cast his vote as he please, with the assurance that it will be honestly counted by the guardians appointed by law to pro tect this sacred right.

The representatives of the Demo cratic party of Virginia in conven tion assembled, reaffirming their al legiance to the principles the party as formulated by Mr. Jefferson, an 1 exemplified by a long line of illustri ous Virginians, and congratulating the people upon the beueticient re sults of Democratic admini.-t a i n whenever the Democratic party has hadtcontrol of the State and Federal Governments do declare: 1. The Democratic party h iving founded the public school system of Virginia, and having secured its ef ficiency by wise legislation, pledges itself to the people that it will con tinue to extend to the system a loyal and generous support until everv child in the Commonwealth shall receive the benefits of an education 2. The Democratic party of Vir ginia, being largely composed of farmers and believing that the pros perity of the State is dependent upon the progress of agriculture, pledges itself that it will, by the en couragement of desirable immigra tion and enactment of proper legis lation, do all in its power to promote and advance the agricultural inter erests of the State. 3. The Democratic party favors the most rigid economy in the ad ministration of all the branches of the State government; a revision of the laws regulating the criminal ex )enses of the State, and the enact ment of such statutes as will equal ize the assessments of property re turned for taxation. Ihe meager returns from agriculture arouse the desire to relieve, as far as possible, the lands of the State by the impo sition of taxes upon associations, en terprises, and other interests Avhich can better bear the burden. 4. The Democratic party of Vir ginia, regarding the oyster industry as one of the inestimable value to the State, will foster it for the bene fit of its own citizens, will preserve to them the use of all the natural oyster rocks, beds and 6hoals, and will oppose the transfer or surrender of the public rights thereiu to in dividuals, corporations, or syndi cates, and we pledge the party to the correction of all unequal and un- ust taxation which may exist upon this great industry. 5. The Democratic party of V lr- ginia, rememnering tne unseitish services of her patriot defenders du ring the civil war, and recognizing ler sacred obligations to care for her lurviving sons who were disabled during that great struggle, and wid ows of those who sacrificed their lives, will continue to favor such liberal appropriations within the re sources of the State as will tend to the accomplishment of that end. 6. W e believe that the construc tion of good roads will largely pro mote the prosperity of our people by attracting immigration, enhancing the value of real estate, and secur ing better facilities for transporta tion to market. We therefore earn estly recommend the enactment of such legislation as may be necessary for the improvement of the'" condi tion of the pulic highways. 7. W e cordially indorse the wi3e, patriotic, and judicious administra tion of .Gov. McKinney. We con gratulate the people f Virginia that the settlement or the btate deut has been at last perfected on terms alike acceptable to her creditors, honorable to the State, ana witnin tne limits of her ability to pay. The fanal and i i successful solution of this vexed question has been accomplished un- dcr lemocratic administration anu through the efforts of the Democrat ic officials. 8. We denounce the policy of Fed eral control of elections to which the Republican party has committed itself as fraught the gravest dangers. and we demand the repeal of all Congressional legislation that coun tenances interferences with the free dom of elections bv the appointment nt Federal supervisors to revise " the registration lists and scrutinize the hiil lots, and Federal marshals to overawe thi people by their pres ence at the polls. . While it is true that only State officers are to be chosen at the ap proaching election in November, we cannot ignore the fact that Virginia as a sovereign and co-equal mem ber of the union, is deeply and vi tally interested in these questions of faritf reform and financial relief which are now challenging the earn est thought and deliberate attention of the American people. Upon the o-reat question of the currency, we reiterate the principles announced in the national convention at Chicago and indorsed with such unparalleled unanimity by the people of this Continued on Second Paged till IAH0LINA TALKS.

They are here wearing n machine eollir. and they hit straight from the shoul der. They are fearless, courageous, alilf and powerful exponents f the manhood of the people. In oratory, ability and intelligence they are the equals of the strongest and most experienced debaters in Con gress. In a perfect comprehension of all the points involved in the sil ver discussion, they distance the best trained and longest serviced men in either house. They are quick and nearly alwavs fatal in retort. This infusion of new blood, of new ideas, of new thoughts, of independent as sertion, marks an era in the political evolution that is playing havoc with party traditions and "machine poli tics." The monopoly of political thought and action, which the ma chine has so long and relentless con trolled, has been fatally crippled if not crushed. Brvan, Siblev. Champ Clark, Lafe Pence and Talhert, the South Carolina fanner, who electri fied the House by his vehemence and eloquence, have blazed the way for the young manhood of the country THE MOUTH'S CHAMPION. The one man from the South to raise his voice for the people 1 champion their cause-was the nervy and plueky Talhert, of the game lit tie state of South Carolina" Serving his first term, hardly known to Ins neighbor who occupies the adjoining seat on the Moor, unknown to the House, with one bound he put him self in the front rank of the strongest debaters in this Congress. It was a night session when, in the estima tion of the Speaker, only obscure and new .members arc supposed to have the iloor, but he filled every inch of standing room in the galleries- It was a speech that aroused the thousands who $s weltered under the hot gas light to the wildest en thusiasm. It was an honest, spon taneous expression of the people that the threats of the Speaker of the House could not control. Threats of "clearing the galleries" had no effect upon the tumultuous applause that greeted and punctuated his speech from beginning to end. It was an ovation. It was a proud day for every patriotic. South Carolinian. Talbert is not a John C. Calhoun, but hereafter when he rises to his feet to address the House everybody will know who he is. This may not be any very great distinction, in public estimation, but there are scores and scores of men who have been iu Congress for years who are hardly known by the doorkeepers and pages. Speaking of Talbert speech, Bryan of Nebraska, and Champ Clark, of Missouri, both ora tors of national fame, said it was the strongest presentation of the subject that had been made in the discussion. It took the House by storm and it will electrify and thrill the South Carolinians when they read it. POINTS OF THK SPEECH. Nothing short of an imperative obligation, he said, impelled him to address the House. We publish the following experts from his speech: But coming as I do trom one ot the rural districts of the sunny South, and representing as I do a constituency.as true, as patriotic, as honorable, as high-minded, as a ny people that ever lived upon God's green earth, mneteen-twentietus ot whom I might say are unqualifiedly in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver applause. I deem that a sufficient excuse for saying at least a few words in their behalf and in advocacy of the measure, which I sincerely believe involves not only the liberties, but the lives of the masses of the people of the Cnited States. A REPRESENTATIVE FARMER. Coming as I do from the humbler walks of a farmer's life, having never been anything but a common. plain, practical farmer; representing also as 1 do the tarmers and pro ducts of wealth in common with other classes of citizens of this great nation; elected though I was upon a platform of principles one plank of which was the free and unlimited coinage of silver others, Mr. Speaker, can do as they pleas, but as for me and my house we will'serve the Lord, and I shall stand on that platform first, last and all the time. Applause, MONEYED ARISTOCRACY. The present distressed condition of our country is due and charge able to a 'system of legislation which has been enacted since the beginning of the late war, and is not due to the Sherman act or anything of that sort. I would ask you to go back to the beginning of the war and exam ine some of the legislation preceed ing that crowning act of infamy con ceived in fraud and brought forth in iniquity, the demonetization act of 1S3 that struck down silver, standi ing to-day as a living monument to the power of money to oppress; that war, which subsequent events have made me believe was not fought to free the negro and save the Union, but to enslave the peeple of America by a moneyed aristocracy, the most 180:?. hateful and d-otir of H "norn innt powil.?,.

They have stayed quietly r.t home, trusting to t li i r Uepri setita tives at Washington to do the nice thing for them, every once in a while sendingup to ask them. "What of the night?" ami the good gentlemen here, these great bushy-headed statesmen, fattening and feasting on the best of the land 1 laughter! would reply: "All is well. l'low on boys; we will be down again in the fall; we will want the votes and the fried chickens as usual." i Great laughter. WHERE THE FARMER oMES IN. This is the way the people have been treated; this is the way I have been treated. I have met these gen tlemen on the stump, and I have thrown this in their teeth again and agaiti and they could not deny it. I statid here, sir, as a humble repre sentative of my people, and 4 intend to represent their interests as I promised to do. Kvety other class 'an get what they want. The manu facturers can get what they want. The railroads can get what they want. The bankers can get what they want. But as soon as the far mers, the laboring people of the world, the people who make that which feeds and clothes the world, and who ate growing poorer and poorer every day of their lives, ns soon as they semi up a little peti tion here these big statesmen sit un and look as wise as owls and say. "It cannot be done. It is unconstitu tional!'' This was said in a very sarcastic and humorous manner, causing renewed laughter. THE PERU, AHEAD. Who does not tremble for the safety of our civilization? The re sults of legislation are being univer sally realized, and fears may be justly entertained that we have al ready passed the point beyond which our steps may be retraced and out liberties retrieved. Iiut (Jod forbid! Although our country is hanging over the brink of an abyss that blinds and dazzles mor tal eye, I yet believe that there i.s a force at work which will neutralize and stop these destructive influences, that finally the great God who rules the destinies of nations will fiend down in mercy and in love, and that. "Equal rights for all; special privi leges for none" will again be the motto of our country. PbUTOi ' RACY VS. THK PEOPLE. Now sir, look at some of the fur ther evils of the contraction which .1 A ' 1 - 1 ft "1 1 me srriKing uown or silver lias pro duce! in thi.s country. There is no man of reasonable in telligence to-day who has noticed the enroachment of the money power on the rights of the individual, but who is forced to the ccuviuction that the issue is an open one between pluto cracy and the people. Why, such pilings up of enormous-wealth as are every day seen in this country is even more than the human mind can concieve. Aladdin's lamp be comes dim and Monte Cristo but a fritlinsf, common-place tale when compared to the magicians of fin ance in their financial transaction under this system, and not under the Sherman law at all. PLOW HOY'S ARGUMENT. As they contract the currency it causes a shrinkage in the values of the products of labor, and so it has caused a shrinkage of three times in the value of the wheat, the corn and cotton, so that will take three times as much of those products to make this payment as it would have taken in ISfifi, and this kind of tys tem bears very heartily upon the boys who follow the plow on a hot July day. 1 haved followed it many a day, and I expect my friend from Colo rado, Mr. Pence (putting his hand upon the shoulder of the gentleman who was sitting near him), has fol lowed the plow and knows how it is. It takes three times the labor to pay that debt, and this same rule will apply in the case of private debt. A man having a mortgage on his farm mav have paid it over twice. leaving a small balance, which it will now be three times as hard to pay as if he had paid it all at first. So that this system of contraction imounta to confiscating the labor, of American workingmen and makes us hewers of wood and drawers of waters unless it is checked, nothing more and nothing less. THE REMELT So, then, in our distress' we have had the Bland-Allison bill of 1878, which gives temporary relief, and -then the Sherman act of 18'JO. which also improved the country to some extent, but only temporarily What we want is a permanent cure. Let us ha ve a lasting one, and to get it is an undertaking as formidable, as patriotic and as heroic as its accom plishment will be grand and glor ious. A noted writer has said: "The great money powers, as they think, safely intrenched within their citadel, look out over their countless ramparts of money bags and see their blood-red flag defiantly 'wav ing on the parapet where it has waved for more than a quarter of a century, and adopting as their ral- lyst! ry th" Vnd-rliit !! f th r-p!- I - itM!"d. th-v G?ly -,.rr!niarji: Maur "ut "ur loinarr n th- vut w ard all; The cry ; !tiU Thy cvra' iar rat)e !r-nth WiU lanh a ier t rrn.

Iv'th President Marion But ler addressed over ii,000 jieople gath ered from tne four adjoining coun ties. It was one of the ablest sjiecch es we have ever heard, lie showed how the Alliance demands are tin true solution for the present troubles. Before he closed he invited any one in the audience to ask any question that might be desired. Prof. Buudy, of Trinity College, who was present and who had lwen an attentive list ener, asked several questions calling out a fuller explanation of Mr. But ler's views. Mr. Butler then invited Trinity's aide Professor of Mathema tics t the bland, introduced him to the audience and asked hini to ex press his views. The Professor en dorsed what Mr. Butler had said, but expressed a fear that the money power and monopolists had already such a hold on the two old parties, that nothing short of a revolution would ever free the people. It wais a great clay for reform. A NATIONAL CURRENCY THE BEST. Iu a speech in the Senate in 1:J7, John C. Calhoun said: "It appears to me, after bestowing the best reflection I can give no sub ject, that no convertible paper that l i j . is, paper wnose credit resin on a promise to pay is suitable for cur rency. Bank paper is cheari to those who make it, but dear, very dear, to those who use it. On the other hand, a national currency, while it would greatly facilitate it.-i financial operation, would cost nothing or next to nothing, and would, of course, add much to the cost of production, which would give to every branch of our industries" great advantages both at home and abroad. And I now undertake to aflirm without the least fear I can Ik answered, that a paper issued by the government, with a simple promise to receive it for all dues would form a jwrfect paper cir culation which could not be abused by the government; that it would be as uniform iu value as the metals themselves; and I shall In able to prove that it is within the constitu tion and powers of congress to use such a paper according to the most rigid rule of construing the constitu tion."
