The Senator w;i billed for a -peeeh on the hilyer question last I'ridav. livery one wan now more anxious than ever to know what po sition he would take. Senator Hill hee-an ins spec, h by showing that the Sherman law ( inakeshift as it was; wns not the author of all our ill. This was a fpiare slap at 'lee!;lI:d. He then expressed his i-e'iet that if the l'resident wa hon estly in favor of bimetallism that the did not say io in his message. Th I'r. i-ident did not biiythiithc would be in favor of any silver legislation after the Sherman law should be repealed. He also rhaiprd that the President (by myiiitf nothirtr abnut the evils of the Shennan law iu his upeeeli of acceptance and inaugural addnss) did fit t hat time contem plate keeping tho Sherman law to prevent free counter, but had now thrown bidder and wanted even that repealed. Senator Hill then went on to the .surprise of tht- Liuietallists to say positively that he was in favor of the free coinage of silver, and to drive the nail home, ho said ho not only farored free coinage at the ra tio of 1(5 to 1 but even at a ratio of lfij to 1. It now weemed that he had broken with tho monopolists and was entirely w ith the people. Huthold, hear him through! He then pro reeded to conclude his speech by say ing that the Sherman law should be unconditionally repealed, and that next December or some other time that Congrvss could take up the question of free coinage. And thus lie shows his true colors. ITo tried to dress in the robe of patriotism but he did not conceal the leopard's spots Hoes not Senator Hill know that John Sherman and such enemies of the people will now vote with him to kill the only silver law on tho stat ute books, aud docs he not also know they will not vote -with him next De cember or any other timo for ail yet at tho ratio of 10 to 17 In the language of Senator Vance, II ill is "either a traitor or a fool."

After the Presidential question was disposed of these conventions proceeded to in dulge in free silver jolhlications, and their platforms as a mle de manded the nomination of (J rover Cleveland and the free coinage of sil ver. As Mr. Cum niings asserts, Mr. Cleveland lias not changed his views, nor is he likely to. The gentlemen who are now grumbling are simply being made to realize that when it come to a struggle between Presi dent Cleveland and their free coin age platforms something had to give away, and, very naturally, the platforms will have to go. The free silver platforms may have been elected, but they didtft carry :i 1m silver candidate." this dodge have The Northern Pacific Uaiiroad has gone into the hands of a receiver. There is evidently something behind dodge. It may be thut. thev asked for a receiver to be ap pointed for the same reason that the Kichniond Danville Pailroad did. No doubt the papers up there that are controlled by the company from the big dailies down to the little country editors who simply get a pass for their services, are explain ing that the company in its patriotic elVort to serve the public had put down freights and fares so low that the road is not paying. The people are catching on to this kind of thing. The vote wa-thell taken oil the repeal of the pit sent silver law, whi.-h resulted in a victory of l.'io majority for the tT'dd bugs as above stated.

We often see accounts of suffering and meetings held by those who are out of employment in large cities nd at a distance from ns. This thing has gotten so common at a distance that it is natural for ua not to be much impressed by it. But now it occurs here in North Carolina in n.ore than one place. The largest meeting of this kind was held in Wilmington last week. The men did not beg for bread to be given them, but asked for work that thev might earn it. Matters grow worse business stagnate, the labor doing nothing and congress doi'jg worse than nothing. THE HOPE OF THE NAT10N Cleveland got his "chance" and has sold out his party and betrayed the interests of the people. A new party controlled by the south and the west must come to the rescue of thepeople. The Populist party is here because there is a need for it. The people will llock to its standard and iave the Kepublic. Jlight on this line we clip the following from Sun day's Kichniond Dispatch: "Mr. Hkiul thus declares that the Democratic party is divided upon the two most important questions which now claim the attention of the country. The East, he says, is for monometallism and protection. The West and Southwest are for bimetallism and a tariff based upon the theory that the Government has no constitutional power to levy cus toms duties "except for revenue on ly. If he is right, it is time for the leaders of the Democratic partv to be lorecasting the future of that great patty." The Republican party is a back number, the Democratic party is hopelessly divided, while the gold- bugs hold high carnival at the na tions cupitol. The Populist party pure, young and vigorous and solidly united carries the banner of hope for the industrial, commercial and agricultural classes. From ocean to ocean the masses are Hocking to its standard. Money is scarce very scarce but the people cannot afford to be with out a newspaper no matter how scarce money is. The Caucasian is laboring to show the cause of this trouble and to fasten tho responsi bility where it belongs. Those now in power can and should relieve the situation. The Caucasian is giving the people tho facts and stands ready to condemn or approve according to their merits or demerits. Tho peo ple will sustain The Caucasian and they see the importance of doing it now in spite of the scarcity of money- partisan we would rejoice in the ac tion of congress Monday, for it will make the success of the Populist par ty almost a certainty. Put vievvim: the situation as an Alliance man and from a patriotic standpoint wo are full of regrets. What we would have above party and everything else is relief for the people. And we would be willing to sacrifice the Populist party or any other to secure what hould be the aim of all parties- honest and just government. The vepublican part' will never again ave charge of the government, the )eniocratic pai ty has now also s'iOwu itself unworthy and incompetent. The people must now Hock to the staud- ird of the Populist party for political alvation. Let the South and West ome together under one Hag and then we will get our rights. Section i . The free coinage of - Ivt r and gold at the le gal ratio of 1 'I to 1 . A national currency safe, sound, ami th -ilii. : a full legal tender foi all debts, public and private; issued by the general government only, bas ed ou its credit, not ni i's indebted ness; in volume sull'u ictit to main tain a healthy condition of business, and distributed directly among Un people when demanded on the se curity of their property, at a reasona ble rate of interest; under such sys tem as the wisdom of congress may devise. We are unalterably opposed to or anv other knave or find. Silver is dead and State bank currency, downed. Ker.resentatlves of the than national, because of its unde- ... , , si rableness, and because the eonsi'- people, who by every moral and ik- , f itical obligation were committed to e,. to jS!ilM. niouevon the gen- maintain silver as the morey of thecal government only, and thispDvv- cf cannot be delegated. We publish in this issue a synopsis of Congressman Sibley's recent speech. The Wilmington Messenger said that the reading of that speech did it more good than any speech that it had read in a long time. The Messenger evidently did not know that Sibley was a Populist. Sibley is one millionaire who has gotten religion. lie is giving his entire salary as congressman for the free distribution of reform literature. Let us not forget that whether the majority of the people of jNorth Carolina vote right next time or not depends upon whether or not they are correctly informed about what is now being done and not done. There never was a time when it was more necessary to push the circulation of The Caucasian Will not every ready of the paper help us to reach more people? During the last campaign Senator Vance was unable to go on the stump, but he wrote a letter for campaign purposes, begging the people to sup port (Irover Cleveland, in which he said "Mr. Cleveland is with ua on every question except the money question, and let us hope that his good sense w ill bring him right on that." (We quote from memory.) Mr. Vance no doubt sees the folly of voting for men who are against our interests for party's sake. We don't believe that Mr. Vance will ask the people to commit such a crime again, and if he does let us hope "that the good sense" of the people will keep them from follow ing his advice. In another column will be found the report of Dr. Cyrus Thompson, State Lecturer of the Alliance. It so abounds in truth and rythm that makes it read like one of the Psalms taken from the Bible. Brother Thomp son is doing magnificent work for the Alliance. Brethren be sure to give him large crowds wherever he goes. lieael the report of Congressman Talbert's speech in another column This patriotic South Carolinian has not lost his alliance principles since he got to Washington. At the Virginia Democratic State convention Mr. Munford who was presiding as temporary chairman made a speech. He denounced the Republican party as the author of all our ills, and mentioned the re peal of the silver law in 1873 as one of the great crimes. This sentiment was cheered loudly by the conven tion. Yet every resolution offered in the convention in favor of free coin age was smothered or voted down. The word silver does not appear in the platform. Can party managers who are guilty of such open hypoc racy hope to hold the confidence of the people? Since the vote ou silver in con gress Monday, every honest demo crat is hanging his head in shame for his party. There self interests as well as their honesty will make them hereafter fight the party that has been captured by the monopo lists and goldbugs and turned trai to the people. If this fight between the Mono mellests and Bimetallists continues it will be in order for the people to raise the Hag of Nomometallists. That will solve the trouble and give the people an ample, clastic and honest money. ORRKSPONDKNCE. topic, have betrayed the people. With the voice of .Jacob they have plead for silver, but with the hand of Ksau they have cowardly assassi nated it. Sec. 'i.

Aug. 2S, '93 Mn Editok: On the 28th of August the Duplin county Alliance met at enausville in in a called meeting the purpose of hearing the report f our delegate to the State meeting. Brother Shaw was present and gave us an interesting and encour aging report. It done us all good to lear that the order the order was in such good conditition. It was very ileasant to hear that not an unkind word was no vulgar witticisms; and that the taint or wlnskev was no where discovered. Such facts show- that the order is managed bv men who feel their responsibility, men who believe in being gentlemen at all times We wonder if any other or ganization in the State from the lquor dealers association up can say the same. Although it was such a pleasant meeting we were disappointed. Sever- il.who are not members of the order were there and they too went away hsappointed. We expected our own Marvann to make us a speech, but he failed to get there. Neverthe less we had a nice little speech by our county Lecturer Bro. Maxwell. Also a few words of encouragement and good counsel from Bro. Shaw, and we all left for home more de termined, if possible, to battle for the right as we believe against the oppressors of our people. Brethren we are ever ready to say a word in season and defend our principles whenever assailed and "God show the right." Politics are still at the boiling point in this section. I want to tell your readers a se cret aud 1 hope they will inviolate, You know that Gen. Weaver made a speech at leacheys on the 7th of August and it was advertised for sometime. WTell our friends, the en emy, did their best to create the im- presssion that Gen. Weaver would not be there, some of them saying they believed the advertisement was for the purpose os getting a crowd together for Butler and Thompson to speak to. Why gentlemen, bless you Maryann and Cy can get a crowd without resorting to false pre tences to ootain it, as I think has been shown. tion and bankruptcy among the la boring people. The crisis is inevit able ami the temper of the people is such that it will not be trilled with anv longer. THE RESPONSIBILITY. The vote in the House fixes the responsibility upon the Democratic party. There is no escape from it.

The success of our cause depends on it Our devotion to the cause of truth and justice demands it. tf The rank and file of the Demo cratic party contains some of the best men in the world. Their man hood and patriotism will make them rise above their debauched and dis honored party in the future. They will cast their votes wheie they will count for justice and the welfare of the people. We must double our circulation before January 1st 1891. Every person who will be reading the pa per then ought to be reading now. If you want a true honest statement of what is going on read The Caucasian. A division of the sheep and goats was made in Congress Monday. There were 239 goats and only 109 sheep. Every goat had on a Cleveland Wall sjtreet-goldbug-label. The North Carolina delegation 'n congress caucused long but very quietly last week. They I ok as w ild as owls aud are as mum as oys ters. Watch their votes. The storm on Monday was wide spread aud did more or less damage at many places in and out of the State. Many houses, trees, telegraph wires &et blow down. Every man who voted for the unconditional repeal of the silver law in congress Monday is, accord ing to Senator Vance, "either a trai tor or a fool." Senator Ransom does not seem to possess the courage of the adminis tration pie that he has swallowed. And now some of the men whoop posed Gen. Weaver last year say that he made the best democratic speech they had heard in a long time. To such I wish to say, that if you will ! take the Presidents message" to con gress and read it carefully you will be compelled to acknowledge that if Gen. Wreaver preached pure de mocracy, then the President is any thing rather than a democrat. They are as much opposed to each other as two things can possibly be. I would that we could tret such men and for that matter all men to lay aside prejudice and party feeling and study this great question honest ly and fairly, but they will not. One man says he would vote for the devil if he was nominated by the democra tic party; another says that if the party were to nominate the meanest man he knew for an office he would vote for him cheerfully; another says he is a Vance man and a Cleveland man and would follow both men if he knew they were wrong. Poor fellow! he doesn't know that Vance is going one way and Cleveland the other and that it is utterly i mnossi- ble for him to follow both unless he was a twin. . demonetize silver in this country. I he record has been made, and here after the man who tells the people that he is a free silver Democrat, and that the Democratic party is "in favor of the free coinage of silver ought to be hissed down. By its vote to-aay -the Democratic party has declared that the Chicago plat form. IS A LIE. By its cowardly surrender to-day the Democratic party has declared that drover Cleveland is the Demo cratic party. Ruthlessly' has it trampled tradition, principle, prece dent, decency, virtue, to the dust and wind. Shamelessly and unblush- mgly has one Democratic leader aft er another in tho debate, declared that drover Cleveland was the Dem ocratic party. These same men have scoffed at and ridiculed Democratic platform declarations. Day after day the chorus has been sung by the X- 7.1 1 1 I v iew ijngiaHu democrats " rLATFORM BE I) D."
