. hii.-.eii tidd. .Mr. Daniels .sa).s that
tli'' People's party has no notion of a
i i.nrftructi ve policy, hut it has well
ii liueil plans of destruction. This
is what we might expect from the
monopolies that weie brought to
m.-tioe hy the Alliance legislature
i it' Is'. I. That legislature was de
iiiiuiiceil by the Democratic press as
a body of socialists, anarchists and
ranks." And why':' because it was
hi favor of euul justice, hecause it
a in favor of taxing every corpor
ation in the State jii.it as every oth
er inan'ri property is taxed. And
(.'cause it was in favor of starting a
number of new construct ive entci -
prises to help the masses of the peo
ple. Many f the most active int-n
in that legislature are to-ila the
most active men in the People's par-
I v. That legislature was elected on
tlie same principles, and worked for
m actica v t lie same ends mat tlie
People'n patty is now contending
for. Among the many good things
ihat the legislature of I Sit I did were
(1.) To establish a I tail road Com
mission. This measure had been de
flated by railroad inlluence in three
successive Democratic legislatures.
(2.) The establishment of a State
Normal and Industrial School at
Greensboro for irirls. This had aho
been defeated in two or three previ
ous legislaturts.
(:.) The appropriation of a suffi
cient amount of money to put th
Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege on its feet ami enabling that
long needed institution to give train-
in to a lony neglected class of our
n c
boys.
j I.) The increase of the public
school fund to a larger amount than
ever before appropriated.
.:.) The rejection of the proposi
tion of the Wilmington it Weldon
railroad to pay only a small part of
what it was due the State in back
taxis as a settlement in full and also
as a bribe for further favors. Th
legislature of 1SH1 knew that every
dollar of tlie back taxes could be
collected and it gare the company
just two years to settle up. Hut the
last le'islature refused to collect
- n
that money that it could have got
ten for the askinir. The last legis
hit.nre was not constructi ve but de
structive. Josephus Daniels was in
favor of surrendering to the W. &
W. railroad even in 185)1. Vet he
has the cheek to write the following
editorial:
' -Kin- a nuiiiU-r of years there has heen
wrtueil a hot (amnaiKii ' North Carolina
to i oinl-1 all railroads to pay laves. In I lie
Leal of this roiiilirt, this writer has been
lo.m.l. We hase a.lvoeateit thi oliey, not
hn-.au fany ho-lility to the ruilroails,
imt ln-eailMt we wanted to lessen the hiir-
Un of taxation on the faiuis of the State
and thus enuahe taxation. 1 he Populisti.
w bile talking very loii.t, hae eontritmleit
very liitle to this result, though we giye
t hem the ireilit for honestly .lesirinj; the re
sult the Deiiioerat.- have brought about."
Everybody knows that all the tax
es that have been collected from
railroads come from the inlluence of
the Alliance and the education done
by that organization. In the legis
lature of 18'Jl Mr. Daniels stood for
awhile behind this writer and held
o.. hi hands, but on the niorninji
r ,
when the vote was to be taken, when
the critical hour had arrived Mr.
Daniels deserted and went over to
the eneriiv. He favored the odious
proposition of the railroads.
(o.) The legislature of 1SD1 es
tablished a Geological Survey and
elected a State (ieologist to bring to
the attention of the world our vast
and varied inineral resources. All
this and many other wise and pro
gressive measures were passed by
the (ieneral Assembly of 1891, and
it was done by the inlluence and
votes of the very men who are active
iu the People's party in this State,
Has any one legislature ever done as
much for the State? Can any one
show a better record. The work so
widely and patriotically started by
ttie legislature of 1891 will never be
carried on till the People's party con
trol the State.
The cheek and assininity of Jose
phus Daniels is surprising. He is a
typical cuckoo for the State mi chine
as well as for G rover.
H-RE S THE ECONOMf" i
The Washington Post a few days
since while speculating as to wheth
er or ::ot the President would eign
the tfiill bill, taid that the McKin
ley bill did not raie enough
money to run the government, and
that if the President did not sign
the b II tint another is.-iiu cf bonds
would be necessary to raiv moi.tv to
run t he govern Uldi t.
A lanre num
ber of Democratic pap"M have en
dulg'din similar talk. The Demo
crats went into power pledged to
ecom niv, yet thetirot thing they do
is to raise more money to run the
government than the Republicans
did. We have already seen one is
sue of bonds under Democratic rub
and now another is threatened
should the tariff bill to raise moiv
eveliue not become a law.
There is no excus -f or the extravi-
gance ttiat we nave seen turner not n
the Democratic and I! -publican rule.
I'he people are taxed now over l-",
u(jo,(iOU annually to run the govern
ment. Under liuchanan's adminis
tration just b'-fore the war when we
ad about half as many inhabitants
it cost only .sj,0(H),(M)U to run the
government. And there is no e.x-
use for it now c 8 ing more than
.15(1.000,(1(10 a year. Put reinem-
be - ti.at the Democrats, who de-
nounctd the Republicans for extrav
i "a t:ce, hat to raise more tnau the
Kepnblicans did to run the govern
ment.
THE PLUTOCRATS PERSECUTING
PROF. ELY.
We (lip the following from the
Washington Post
nit-:
AI'I'ltOACIIINO
Till A b OF l'llOl".
KI.V.
The trial of Prof. Richard T. Klv,
of the University of Wisconsin, will
bejjin on the liothof this month, and
will be watched with great interest
by practical educators, by educated I
t ill I
men and women, by organized laoor,
Hid by thoughtful persons generally
in all parts ot the country, it is
doubtful if any investigation or trial,
congressional, legislative, judicial, or
religious, that has occurred in recent
years, has attracted so much atten
tion or awakened so deep an interest
as will center on this inquiry. The
charge against the professor is that
he has taught socialistic doctriue to
the students under his instruction
in the University of Wisconsin."
Pr f. Hly is not only a man of
great learning and ability but he is
bold and fearless. He has written
several strong books exposing th
dangerous encroachments of monop
oly. Last year he went to Europe
and visited the leading countries
where the governments own and
operate the railroad When he re
turned he published what he saw
and learned and showed how much
better government ownership would
be for the United States. Thf
Caucasian copied a part of his very
able and unanswerable argumeut at
the time. The , plutocrats can not
buy him, they can not answer his
argument, so now they are going to
try to persecute him. His argu
merits for a better financial system
and for the government ownership
of railroads and telegraph lines art
the real crimes for which he is to be
tried. But of course other charges
will be trumped up to hide the real
offense of the learned Professor,
JOHN ROBiNSON A C0XEYITE.
We clip the following from "The
Bulletin" for July, written by Hon.
John Robinson, the State Commis
sioner of Agriculture. He says:
"Ir, is a fact acknowledged by all
that for a country to be permanentl
prosperous the farmers, the agricul
tunsts, those who produce the neces
saries of life, must be prosperous.
It is a conceded fact to-day that this
class, as a rule, is not prosperous.
"There must be a cause or causes
for this depression, and I take it that
the miserable couditioir of our public
highways has more to do with it than
any other one thing. At least the
improvement of our highways so as
to make them in good condition for
travel at any season of the year would
go farther towards bringing relief
than any other one remedy yet sug
gested." It is bad enough for a private citi
zen to endorse Coxey's "Wild Good
Roads Scheme," but when a State
oflicial does so, his mental equilibrium
must be questioned. Such wild men
as Coxey and John Robinson should
not be allowed to run at large in
good, conservative old Aorth Caro
lina. The Eastern counties having re
pudiated Kan60Ui, he is making a
desperate attempt to capture the
Western counties. II. A. Gudger,
who hisses Hansom's name through
his teeth when speaking of him, has
been captured by a $2,4U0, depart
ment appointment in Washington
Haywood county, the home of the
Gudgers, shows its appreciation by
nominating a Hansom man for the
House. It is easy to understand why
Ransom is opposed to the primary,
Patronage don't count against an
honest man's ballot.

to the Populist jurty is coi.ct d d.
The attempt fli some tiartt io to be
little it i- pilpably insincere.
WHAT IT MKANS.
Art an ex pounder of financial pics
tions Senator Jones is not a v.igar
ist. He is prominei t authori'y and
has been so rtcogni.- I by the iLpnb
lican party. Kngland recogniz-s liim
as a profound wrt-r and student.
His pamphlet discussion of the -du-r
ipiestion, in all its bearings, is ac
cepted as an exhaustive di-sertat ion.
His renunciation of the R publicar
party is coincident with th- crisis in
the formative period of the p.ijm'i-i
party in the new Weston. S;a!cr, and
may involve course. juenc s i.ital to
the restoration of Republican as-en
dency in the Senate. The;-e is inor.
than a strong possibility of two Pop
ulist Senators from Montana, two
from Wyoming and one from (Jolo
lado, Idaho and California as the re
sult of the November election. It is
reasonably certain now, assuming
Tillman's election in South Carolina,
that the organization of the Senate
after March'lth next will be inde
pendent of both the Republican and
1 )enioctatic parties. Wit h the acces
sion indicated, the Populists will
constitute a strong minority factor in
legislation. If the advantage and
opportunity is wiselv used its
bear-
ing upon the Presidential election
.i n i 111 l
must be of incalculable importance.
A MKiHTV BIO MAN.
Steak ing of Senator Jones the
stalwart free silver Republican, Sen-
tor Dubois, of Idaho, says:
".(ones is a mighty biji num. l'.e.side?. lie
is a memiieroi mo lU'iMiuueaii numjiiij. ui
the t'. nance Committee. He holds an im
portant place in the counsils of the party.
He is well l'kcil and lias plenty oi sense, lie
has always lieen a consistent Republican.
ami proiiainy now jioius icvs m araiu
with (he Republicans on the tantl. Once in
the Populist party he will, ot course, act
with that party to In intf about such results
as lie can for the success of silver. He will,
no doubt, from this time on devote himselr
to securing silver legislation hy any method
ie can use.
lI.Ui.El WITH I'EI.IiillT.
"His resignation from the Republican
party at this lime, when we are strufiK'u'K
witll tlie 1 Opuusis ior couiroi ui.-nnji
Legislatures, cannot have anything but a
very Oa'l eiiecl. It will Lie uaiim iij me
Populists wit n great ileliLMit. ana it is :i oe
I'ection that we cannot well explain. It is
all very well to s v that Jones wanted to he
returned to the Senate and he tlopped for
that reason, but his election will not come
off ior two years, and he had plenty of tune
to get into I'inp with the Populists after the
result ot this election is Known.
OXLY ONE EXPLANATION.
"lie bail time enough to wait and see if it
was possible to win back Nevada from the
Populists before he joined them, and there
will only be one satisfactory explanation to
the silver men of the West, and that is that
the two old parties, in the judgment of some
of the beM Republicans, will do nothing for
silver and the only way to make themselves
felt is to join a party that will have no other
interest in view and which will place the
money ipiestion ahead ot the tan 11 or any
other issue which may be presented."
WH AT ' M A V II API'EN.
Senator Jones is a member of the
Finance committee. He maybe re
placed on that committee bv a free
silver Republican or he may not. It
is uot the intention of the Republi
can leaders that the Western States
shall slip through their lingers with
out a big tight to hold them to their
Republican allegiance. It is impos
sible that the R-publican party shall
become an unconditional free silver
nartv. The Western and Southern
Populists free silver doctrine, m h"
iiiblican estimation, is silver mono
metallism. The tight on this line
will eventually, possibly in 189b", de
velon a three-cornered contest. The
rold nioumetiillists m the Eastern
i ....
States including the Snerman wing
of the Republican party and the
Cleveland vviu or the Democratic
party ; the silver monometallists uu
tier the leadership of Senator Jones
the biniefalhsts, including the pro
gressive elements of the Republican
and Democratic parties.
H1ST0KY
BEt'EATING ITSELF.
It toot twenty years of platform
juggling and campaign lying to de
ve on tlie Democratic nartv as an
avowed free trade party. It was only
at Chicago in 189;i that it had the
courage and candor to throw off all
disguise and avow its free trade con
victions. Certainly that avowal has
been shamelessly and cowardly re
pubiated in the passage of the sugar
trust tariff bill, but that was due to
lack of "sand," and the belief that
the people wottld submit to the out
rage upon the unmanly ana con
temptible excuse that "it was the
best we could do; is better than mc
Lvineyism" because it robs the
working man and he can't kick. It
taxes the poor man's breakfast table
it raises the price of sugar two
cents per pound, but it will be made
up iu cheaper trace chains, cheaper
silks, cheaper English broadcloth,
&c, &c. In the future treatment of
the silver question evtutj may trans
pire soon that may suggest
EXTREME MEASURES.
It may develop that deferred bi
metallism is tantamount to gold mo
nometallism. When that becomes
apparent the next step is an aggres

Several weeks ago
the followine
tatement appeared in a great paper
of the North, an advocate of the gold
standard, that would not for a mo
ment tolerate the idea of an unbol-
tered paper currency:
"The Treasury holds to-day onlv
thirteen cents in gold for every dol
lar of outsanding Treasury notes and
md greenbacks, which are distinctly
ald obligations, and if we count in
the silver certilicates, which the gov
ern nieut is pledged to teep at a par
ty with other dollars, the gold re
serve is less than eight cents to the
dollar."
The paper was pleading for anoth
r issue of bonds at the time, and it
made it unite plain that if it requir
ed gold or silver to maintain the
purchasing power of our currency,
bonds ought to be issued; but it
must have overlooked tlie fact that
the statement is suflicient proof that
neither gold nor silver is needed, and
herefore, the statement is a good
testimony not only against bond is-
l .-J. ll. . 1 il. .1. ll. .
sues, but against the claim that th
if t i .
government cannot create a tin
t; ,
of exchange. That th? .silver dol-
ar, worth intrinsically less than 00
cents (mea.sui't d by gold), and the
greenback worth only the promise of
the government, that theso active
factors in our currency are sustained
at their face value by eight cents in
gold seems to be the best evidence
we know of that either greenbacks
or silver will pass i:i this country for
whatever amount our government
stamps them, whether there is any
gold on this side of the Atlantic or
not. If a persou will rely upon the
mere promise of the government to
pay the reniaiuiug eighty seven cents
that a dollar greenback calls for, rs
it not reasonable to think that one
will trust it altogether? 'This is
what every one who accepts a green
back or a Treasury note does. There
is but one conclusion : this govern
ment needs gold currency only for
the payment of the international ob
ligations of its citizens. liiblical

Stillmore, Ga., Aug. 31, '94.
Editor The Calcasiax:
I send you a few political notes
from this section of Georgia
The Populists are on top in south
west Georgia, and will stay there.
There never could have been a
more popular man in this sction
than Judge llines. The people are
solid for him. There are strong ef
forts being made by the Democrats
to get a fast hold in this part of the
State. They are scraping on the
same old tin pan that they used to
knock on, but the bottom is worn
out asd it has lost the sound. Even
Livingstone is here telling the peo
pie that congress is ready now to give
us free coinage of silver. But the
people do not want free coinage if it
works like the Holy Tariff bill that
descended upon our heads in the
shape of a wool hat, and a voice
from the merchant saying, 'bring
me a bale of your cotton at six cents
per pound and take the hat at the
same old price.
Livingstone is telling the people
that now the tariff is out ot the way
that congress will now take up the
tinancial question. He does not ex
plain the extra session of congress
that Cleveland called whether it
was to work on the financial question
or to make appropriation for a bil
like our representative;s did at the
..i i i i . i . i r
oeginning oi ine last legislature oi
North Carolina.
The campaign here is running
very much like the one in Sampson
county when the R, R. commission
was being discussed. We can t get
a Democrat to meet a People's party
man in joint debate.
The I 1 is organized here in
clubs, two to four in each school
district, and meet every two weeks.
The people are in dead earnest for
reform here,

the little the I hum. rU hiul dou on

this Bubject by wving that thej nrre
now through with the Uriil. That
the "liill of SaU-M to the Saga- trunt
was all the reform on Uritl they rx
IkIihI to give the jmople.
He then came to the linaucial
question by sating that it overeluid
owed all others, and that although
they cut d.wu silver iu hut Congrt-tM
they were going to do better in uext
Congress. That they were going to
turn around und restore it to its ro
ler pla-e iwj a money metal.
When the Senator al vised tho pop
ple U wait until the lirst of January,
when the new tariff law goes into ef
fect, to buy their woolen gooda, he
did it for his own capital Ui auue he
knew that the new law wan going to
have no such effect.
There was not an effort to applaud
the appeals of the "visiting states
man," Uvause most of the crowd
were Populists. Besides the Demo
crats around here are Cleveland-
Kansoin gold bugs. His reception
was even a very cold one from the
Democrats and it must have beeu a
very unsatisfactory one to him.
O ver a week ago a division of time
was asked for iu order that Marion
P.utler, the editor-in-chief of TlIK
CALCAbi an, might reply, but Mr.
Pou, the State Chairman, and of
course sK-uk ing with the consent of
-Mr. Jarvis, dcelfued to agree
to a joint discussion. After
hearing Mr. Jams sieech. to
day it is very plain why he does not
want to lie replied to, and link-as he
succeeds -in making belter speeches
than he did to-day it will not be ne
cessary to reply to him. His speech
here did not only not make a vote for
his party but actually put a damper
on the ardor of his friends. The
hundreds of Populists who lur-ard
him Monday are stronger Populists
than ever.

A case of recent occurence was
the publication in many of our lead

late Populist candidate for Presi

been nominated by the Democrats
for Congress in his district iu lova,
while the facts were that the Popu
lists had previously nominated him
as t heir candidate, and the Demo

accept the man, even as a Populist,
simply ratified the action of the oth

nomination. Durham Weekly Times
