THE TWO OLD PARTIES AGREE.
The Alabama Democratic State
convention has initiated the cam
paign of duplicity and deception, or
it has denuded the Democratic party
of its diaphanous disguise as a free
coinage party. Dates, an avowed ad
ministration Democrat, was nomina
ted for governor. Iu the face of an
ovcrwhelmuing free silver sentiment
in Alabama, he defiantly voted to re
peal the Sherman law. There is no
question about his position. Follow
ing his nomination the convention
adopted the following resolution:
"While there are differences of
opinion among us in matters of de
tail, we all believe in the free coin
age of silver, when it can te done
consistently with the maintenance of
a sound and safe currency."
In other words the free coinage of
silver now is incompatible with the
maintenance of a "sound and safe
currency." The resolution means
that or it means nothing. Obvious
ly it was written or suggested by
John Sherman.
It defines the Republican position
ou the silver question and removes
the last shade of difference between
the Republican and Democratic par
ties. . The two parties uow agree
openly and avowedly on the tariff
and financial question. The Alaba
ma resolution blazes the way. It
gives the lie to the cowardly declara
tion of the Chicago platform and
strips the Democratic party of all
disguise. It affords the people an
object lesson. It is the doctriuce of
Shylock and the Wall street sharper.
It repealed the Sherman law and de
monetized silver. It goes to the bot
tom of the controversy over silver.
It draw the line ou the ratio of 16 to
1, and leaves the Populist party the
sole antagonist of the Republican-Democratic-Wall
- Street financial
theory. What Shylock objects to the
free coinage of silver if he is allowed
to dictate how much silver the dollar
shall shall contain ? John Sherman
has already said that he favored the
free coinage of silver at the
ratio of 32 to 1. It should end
forever the cowardly Democratic
policy of deception and duplicity.
The Alabama convention has done
a manly and courageous thing. It
aTows the fact that Cleveland is the
official head of the Democratic par
ty. If he is lost the Democratic par
ty is lost His fate is the fate of the
Democratic party. That is manly
The Courier-Journal rigorously sums
up the sitnation when it says :
"Even at the sacrifice of tbe in
consistency which alone made harm
ony in Alabama possible, we are
bound to stand by the administra
tion, and, if it must be so, if the fa
tal indecision, or obstinacy, or what
ever we may call it, in the Presi
dent's intellectual make-up, which
has already cost us so dear, should
continue to confuse our couusels and
defeat our plans, diminishing us to
a mere straggling and retreating
armv, the Courier-Journal will be
found even among among the body
guard, that faithf ullv, though heart
brokenly, escorts its chieftain to the

Honest people respect a manly foe.
They hate the sneak and bushwhack

ver say to the Courier-Journal's po
sition ?

Haying the
ha""' !
thing.
We Iwlieve that this is
yet we want to warn tne peo
ple Dot to be deceived by apar
ances. When the party lash is jioppcd by
the Democrtic machine next fall,
hundreds, who now declare that
they will never vote ano'her Demo
cratic ticket, ami will support tin
People's party, will then be found
failing in line and following the
machine as of old.
When that tirn" comes mauv of
! he fri-nds of the people ami the
peopb-'s ca'ise will be surprised
and to a certain extent disappoint
ed. That is what we want to warn yon
against now, or rather to a-k vui to
take steps o that the recult will be
ili'f-rent.
Nine men out of ten who voted
the Democratic ticket last fall and
who are now expressing dissatisfac
tion with the party, are dissatisfied
more because the Democratic pa
pers that they read express dissatis
faction than from any thought and
investigation which they have made
themselves.
If these men continue to read
nothing but Democratic papers, next
fall, when these papers begin to
whoop up the party and show why
it is the duty of every man, no mat
ter how much the party leaders have
fooled them or betrayed the interest
of the people, to fall in line and vote
the ticket in the State and give
them another chance, they will re
turn to their idols. In short the
very cause that is now making them
appear to oe uissatisiieo, win
then make them serve the machine
Understand, this ia not true of all,
but it is true of a large number.
There is but one thing that will
save these men to the people's cause,
and teat i9 to get them now, while
they are not under the party lash, to
read The Caucasian', or some such
reform paper that will show them
what must be done before relief ever
comes to the people.
They must read a paper which
will step by step expose the denaago
guery and hypocrisy which the
machine papers are already begining
to use.
The fact is (and we want to say it
a3 a timely warning) that the mem
bers of the reform cause iu North
Carolina are not doiug as much work
now as they have done. Too
many of us are relying on appear
ance. We must remember that this dis
satisfaction iu the Democratic rauks
does not mean strcnghth for the re
form cause only in a small degree,
but it means that a golden
opportunity is offered us.
If we neglect the opportunity to
now reach the intellect of every voter
and to appeal to his heart and con
science, we will be woeful
ly disappointed at the result next
fall.
Such an opportunity for getting
reform literature read by all honest
voters has never before been presen
ted to any party, and if we lose
or waste this opportunity, it is
probably that 6uch a one will
never come to the People's party
again.
No one appreciates the noble wark
which the reformers in this State
have done more than we do. We
appreciate the work they have done
for Thb Caucasian, but at the
same time we realize that a golden
opportunity is now being lost if
every reformer doe3 not put his
shoulder to the wheel and push the
work of education while it is possi
ble to educate. Put Thk Cauca
sian into the hands of the people
now and it will bear fruit Let every
reformer work as if victory depends
upon his individual efforts, and then
victory will surely crown the effort
us all.
FOR NEW SUBSCRIBERS ONLY.
Our proposition to send The Cau
casian till Jan. 1st, 1S95, for fifty
cents is good for new subscribers only.
If all of our subscribers were to get
the paper this long for 50 cents we
would lose money. We make this
liberal offer to induce those who
have never taken the paper to do so
now, also to induce our friends to
get up clubs and pay the money
themselves to get the paper into the
hands of more people. Every old
subscriber must renew at the regular
price. We feel sure that you will all
see the justice in this and the neces
sity for it There is no money in
publishing a paper like The Cau
casian for $1.00 a year. Let every
subscriber whose time expires be
tween uow and the election renew for
a year.

we are sure that there are some ma

would denounce and resolve to re

This should not be so and the
sooner the people get rid of the dom

an intolerant machine the better for
these Institutes and for the whole
State and the citizens thereot.
The telegrams from Wilson sent
to the Charlotte Observer and other
daily papers about the speeches of
Capt. Kitchiu and Col. Skinner at
the Wilsou meeting, said that there
were 1,200 people present and spoke
in a fairly decent manner about the
speeches. This was more than the
machine could stand. The North
Carolinian copies these telegrams ex
pressing surprise at the size of the
crowd and said that it must have
been sent by a People's party man.
The Caroliniau evidently thought
that the reporter told the truth and
desired to lecture him for not doc
toring the report aud doing the nec
essary lying for the Democratic par
ty. But when the editor of that pa
per learns that there were over 2,500
people present and that the meeting
was enthusiastic aud a giat success,
he ought to be very
at the telegram.
much gratified
The State Ex. Com. of the Alliance
was in session at Iialergh last week.
After a thorough examination the
books of all offieers were found cor
rect. The next session of the State
Alliance will be held at Greensboro.
The Committee decided not to send
speakers to the next County Alliance
meetings. This action was taken
because the Committee deemed it
more important that every county be
represented at the next State Alliance
than to have speeches in July, and it
was feared that some counties would
not have sufficient funds to cover
the expense of both.
We are waiting to hear from Mr.
Glenn. He ought to speak out like
a man. Not only has he the Presi
dent's permission to publish the let
ter but he has the high moral sup
port of Mr. Webster of the Reids
ville Weekly, who says Mr. Cleveland
told Simmons several times during
the campaign that he was a friend
of silver. Oates, the administration
candidate for Governor of Alabama,
makes substantially the same state
ment Produce the letter, Mr. Glenn.
Otherwise the jeople will pass judg
ment according to the evidence that
is in.
The Charlotte Observer should
now question the propriety of lloke
Smith discussing the tariff and
advocating a gold standard at the
University (a State Irstitution)with
out having some one there to present
the other side. It will be remem
bered that when Congressman .Bryan
discussing free coinage of silver at
Greensboro, that the Observer enter
ed its protest at such conduct at a
State Institution unless the other
side ot the money question could also
be presented.
The Charlotte Observer comment
ing upon the eleeeion in Oregon an
nounces with great pleasure that the
State has gone Republican and says
that that was so much better than
for the People's Party to have won
the victory. This would lead us to
believe that the Observer would help
the Republican party to power in
North Carolina before it would see
the People crush the Democratic
machine and take charge of the gov
ernment of the State.
If you are fishinar for business The
Caucasian will furnish the bait.

I'be number of students low being
larger than at anv time since the
War. The fact that the Literan
Societies, which have ben such an
important and valuable feature ot
University life for nearly a century,
are not to-day in as vigorous condi
tion as they have been, is, however.
one of the things to be regretted and
to be remedied. The cause of this
is generally recognized and conceded,
and it is hoped that at an early dav
the Faculty and the Trustees will
take proper steps to make these two
organizations largely the governing
power among the student body and
the focus of College life.
One of the features of Commence
ment exercises, was the meeting of
the Alumni Association on Tuesday,
at which steps were taken looking to
the proper celebration of the l'uth
Commencement of the University
next year.
Dr. Reid, President of Greensboro
Female College, was selected among
the Alumni this year to deliver an
appropriate address. His subject
was the life and character of the late
Dr. Charles F. Deems. In a httiug,
eloquent and impressive manner
the speaker sketched the life and
work of this wonderful man, whose
labors for so many years was given
to the University, and to religious
and educational work in our State.
The Senior class exercises and the
representative speaking, the contest
of the orators between the Literary
Societies, were the other two promi
nent features of the same day.
Thursday was Commencement
day proper. The orations by mem
bers of the graduating class, which
this year consists of 30 members,
were delivered as follows: T. S. Rol
lins, of Asheville, "Two Factors of
Modern Civilization ;" A. C. Ellis,
of Louisburg, "Permanence in
Change;" E. E. Gillespie, of Greeus
boro, "A Plea for Scientific Train
ing of the Teachers;" T. B. Lee, of
Mocksville, "The State and the
Child;" C. L. Van Noppeu, of Dur
ham. "The Influence of Holland in
Americau Institutions;" W. F. llar
dirg, of Greenville, "Truth and
Poetry."
HON. HOKE SMITH S SPEECH.
The great attraction of the day, of
course, was the annual oration of
Hon. lloke Smith, Secretary of the
Interior of the United States Govern
ment His subject was "North Car
olina's Possibilities and Responsibil
ities." After being introduced by
Dr. Winston in very happy and ap
propriate terms, he was warmly
cheered by 3,000 people in the vast
audience. After preliminary refer
ence to his early childhood at Chap
el Hill, while his father was a mem
ber of the Faculty at the University,
he went directly to his subject" in a
bold, vigorous and practical speech.
He awakeued enthusiasm and inter
est from the beginning and held it
to the end. He called attention to
the advice given by Horace Greely to
young men before the War to go
West; he said that that advice was
good at that time.
He attributed the advantages of
the West aud the superior growth of
the East over the South to two caus
es. First, to the institution of slav
ery. Seccnd, the legislation incident
to reconstruction. He claimed that
the institution of slavery divided the
people of the South into three classes.
First, the rich slave owners who had
no inducement to exert themselves
for material gain. Second, the poor
whites, who, brought into competi
tion with slave labor, had no oppor
tunity to accomplish results. Third,
the slaves themselves, who labored
without aspiration, doing ouly that
which was forced upon them. It
created an agricultural system which
was calculated to gradually exhaust
the soil, while it was productive of
waste, and had no tendency to devel
op resources other than those of an
agricultural nature.
He then sketched the results aris
ing immediately after the War, and
dealt with the reconstruction days in
a manner that is familiar to us all in
campaign speeches that we have
heard for twenty- years.
He said that to-day the advice of
Horace Greely to go West was no
longer good, that the South, and
0srw,i"- with.uf
ier reat ieourct-s anu possibilities
for weIth. tbe invitibjr fidd ft. j
young men of tsl-nt anJ men j
capital. He said that other sections
of th- eoautry had out-strippfd u ia
tbe accumulation of wp&lth, nd that
th remedy for this wa, t pat a
school house on every bill-top. He
turn warned the pt-ople that legisla
tion couiJ not be depended ou to
ehacge bad cond.tions, or to make
conditions better any farther than
rcJae taxation. He ?aid thit the
-tatemen eouid not add to our
wealth, and that it was foolish to ex
peet them to do to by ehantfinij the
Mze of tb dollar, or their number,
i as u was to expect Hie counrrv mer-
ehant to whom w ell our corn to
increase the amount of the corn by
ehangiut; the size of the bushel.
After making this thrust at the
majority of the people of North Car
olina who believed t bat their wealth
has been lg;sbttd away from them
by contracting the currency and
eh a Hiring the purchaMUir power ot
t lie dollar, and who are to-diy, mt
ietnaii'.lin that wealth he given
tbeiu, but that the laws that legs.-l.ite
.-.way their wealth be repealed ail')
j '.ist laws put in their rtead lhat will
irive cveiy man a fair opportunity to
accumulate wealth according to his
success iu creating it, ho showed
still further bad taste by saying. that
lie woii'il not present one side of the
money question as Congressman
Bryan did at Greensboro. He fol
lowed this declaration W telling the
people that the outlook was bright
ening for prosprity, because Con
gress would wipe out the odious tar
iff law by the 1st of July.
He then produced statistics com
paring North Carolina with Massa
chusetts, and showed that North Car
olina was increasing in wealth faster
than Massachusetts.
The Caucasian will have some
thing to say about thesa statistics
and facts at another time. His
crowning appeal was to urge leaders
of certain political parties, we sup
nose, to resist and ignore what he
called popular clamor. He said that
he considered the present protest of
the people against Sherman and
Cleveland's financial policy wrong,
aud that therefore the leaders of the
party should close their ears to it,
and staud by the adminis' ration. At
this point we remembered how the
corporations and the machine poli
ticians branded the demands for a
railroad commission as a wild, crazy,
popular clamor in ''Jl, and how ap
peal after appeal was made to the
would be leaders to shut their ears to
the demands of the people. We also
remembered how all these parties
were silenced when the measure was
adopted and put into operation, and
so it will be when the demands for
financial reforms are adopted and
put into operation. Even those who
tight it most bitterly now, will not
dare to criticise it then.
He had much to say about dema
goeuery, cranks, anarchists, etc.,
which was applauded by every re
former present, for they thought his
language applied very appropriately
to the monopolies, gold bugs and
their allies who are to-day oppress
ing the people.
His speech, however, was strong,
vigorous aud impressive from begin
ning to end, and while we wish to
congratulate the speaker and the
L ui versity upon the fact that live
issues were dealt with, yet if Con
gressmau Bryan's speech at Greens
iioro was inappropriate in any refer
ence made, the present speech was
ten-foM more so.
The University has done excellent
work during the vear. It has nad
400 students. The class of work is
higher and more thorough. The im
provements of the buildings and
grounds greatly impress a visitor who
has not been here for a couple of
years. The older buildings have all
renewed their youth and during the
present summer the more modern
ones will be renovated.
We regret to learn that Maj W.
A. Graham, Trustee of the Business
Agency Fuud of the State Alliance,
lost his dwelling, household furni
ture aud several out houses by fire
last week, Jsune 5th. The well was
so near the origin of the fire that
the water from it could not be used.
The papers belonging to the State
Alliance were saved.

statements w hich 1 liat W-en hearing were
nut overdrawn, and you w ill readil v see thnt
there was not a -reat tl.stance lor me to
travel in pursuit of stu b f.icUs until I In-came
enrolled m the ranks ot the ;rear army ol
cranks; and if to te a crnnk is to study to
know the truth and having found it em

Hut having for so many years looked with
pity upon those disordered people who en
tertained the wild and chimerical views on
iiiiHiicial subjects which 1 now entertain, it
is no wonder that my charity for them is
very broad. I can reineml-er well that fif
teen years or more ao you used to predict
just such a condition of affairs as co'iinuus
us to day. The education of the masses has
Wen slow ami has cost mountains of treas
ure and oceans of tears, and will cost far
more I fear before ri'ht mounts the throne
and truth sw.iys the scepter. 1 note what
you say in ref-rence to me as a mark of your
personal friendship. I appreciate your kind
opinion, and personally can say with all
frankness ami sincerity, that 1 am w ithout
one political aspiration. 1 have riven two
years of my liest life and hardest work to
the public in this cause I have done it at
enormous sacrifice of strength, health ami
business interests at the worst riod known
in our financial history. To one w ho has
no lust for power and who retards public
otiice as much as that of a hired man; at
tempting to do the will of a stern master,
and not of one master alone but of thou
sands riving varying orders, and demandim
at the same time varying service is some
what trving, and puniic life does not com
port either with my taste, not I fi-.tr with
my talents. 1 am confident 1 would never
make a good joli:ician. i have not learned
to cloak my sentiments nor learned to use
words as a mask for ideas. 1 think my hap
piness iu the future will he found oil my
iarm, among my friends, and at my ow ii
fireside. Though" not rich I have sufficient
to clothe and educate mr children. 1 make
it a rule to owe ro man anvliiing, and de
void of great political or iinanciai ambition,
feel at liberty as 1 have for years back, to
xnress the truthful sentiments of my most
enlightened conscience:
I shall always take the greatest interest in
the great reform movement, and my voice
and vote whether in political or private life,
will I trust always be found assisting every
iTort which is being put forth for the
amelioration of the hardships now confront
ing our people, and those efforts which shall
restore that equality of opportunities w hich
must i e the liialienab!-.; heritage of every
son and daughter of the Republic.
