Not only is their time and labor due to the govern .iier-t, but they snould scrupulously avoid in their political iction, as well as in the discharge ol their otticial duty, offending byadis- lay of obstructive parti.mship, their neighbors who have relations with them as public olhcials. They should also cons'antly re in ,'inber that their party friends, from whom they have received pre- inenS have not in vested them with the power of arbitrarily manag ing their political affairs. They tave no right as ollictholuers to dic tate the political action of their party associates, or to throttle freedom of action within party lints, by methods and practices which pervert every useful and justifiable purpose or arty organization. The inlluence of Federal office lohlera should not be felt in the manipulation of political primary meetings and noininutnig conven tions. The use by these officials ot their positions to ccmpass their se lection of delegates to political con ventions ia undecent and unfa'r; aud proper regard for the proprieties and requirements of official place will also nrevent their assuming the active conduct of political cam paigns." .

Nobody disputes that argument. It is a sad fact. But where is the dollar, aud what will it buy more of? Will it pay more of the debt you happened to make Qve years" ago than ever? Will it pay more taxes? Will it pay more interest? Not much. It will buy and does buy more of the sweat and toil of the farmer than ever before. It will buy more of h.s cotton more of all he has worked for. It will buy from the laboring .nan more of his hard toil and strug gle for a living. It will buy two strokes of labo where it formerly bought but one. Aud the only thing3 that it will buy more of are what is produced by the farmer and the working man. A good, commju sense old Alaba ma farmer put it right when he said: "I brought a bale of cotton here (Birmingham) five years ago, sold it for S19.50. With this money I paid my taxes, $22; got a dress for my wife, $o;snoes ior me cnuu-eo, $0; a barrel of Hour, $G.?.0; fifty pounds of sugar, $4; ten pounus oi c ffe, $2, and went home nappy with f:i 75 in my pocket for the preacher. I brought in a bale to day, sold it for $22,50; paid my taxes, $22.25, aud have a quarter left. They tell me I can get Hour and frocks and sugar and shots for half I paid then, but it 'pears to me I hain't got the half.- I've about made ud mv mind to invest this quarter in United States bonds and howl for the sold standard."

A number of thci-e letters were written to the New York World, ad some of them are reproduced here: TUK CHAIRMAN" Of THE I'OPULTST XA-TION-AL, COM M ITT KB HEFINES THE IS!si;E. A gold standard, bank currency : and told bonds, as represented by the ltfpublican aud Democratic par- ties on ou side; bimetallism at the ratio of 1(J to 1, lefral-teuder treasury notes issued by the general govern ment and no bonds, as represented by the Populist and bimetallic par ties, on the other, will bo the '"storm centre" in the campaign of 1S9G. the money question will be the great issue iu American politics un til properly adjusted; because no other reform is possible until we stablish a just, equitable and Amer ican financial system. The con tinuance of the gold standard will re ult in wholesale repudiation by i he debtor class, or confiscation by the creditor class. Either must be avoided. An American financial system that will reverse the down ward trend of pi ices and restore values is the only hope that tin debtor has from b ing crushed. The People's party at its next na tional convention will declare in favor of making the money question tae "great central idea," with no other planks except thse which add strength to this one. Those who de sire to retard monetary reform by loading us dovn with other issues will, with the socialists and com munists go to the rear. Though at present many delicate complications confront al' reformers, yet I believe that wise and conserva tive counsel will prevail in the Pop ulist and bimetallic parties, so that all voters who are opposed to the gold standard will be united under one banner in 181)0 In this event we will lect the next President, and a Congress that will give the people free coinage of silver, legal-tender treasury notes and dethrone the money power. On this issue 73 per cent, of the voters will cast their tor tures on our side. The south and west for self-preservation must unite in one party; these two sections have a majority in the electoral c-illee, Senate and House of Representatives, and can control the politics of our nation to the best interest of the wealth pro ducers of all sections. H. E. Taubeneck. Washington, D. C. DESERTIONS FROM THE PARTIES WILL BUILD UP THE NEW ONE, SAYS SENA TOR BUTLER. In answer to your two questions my answer is: First, a political party has no good excuse for existing, and can't long exist, unless it differ radically from other parties on the most vital questions of governmental policy. The great and overshadow ing issue is now, has been, and al ways will be, the money question. - On this question Cleveland and Harrison and their followers occupy the same position. On the money question there is one party the gold party. The gold party controls the machinery of Both the old parties The great masses of both the Demo cratic and Republican parties are just realizing this. They see that if they remain in the old parties they must follow goldbug leaders, and sacrifice th' ir principles as well a their interests. This they will not do. They will go into a new. party that is in harmony with the views on finance. They would join the People's party, but they are to a greater or less ex tent prejudiced against some of the minor issues of that party. Finan cial reform aud honest money have always been the overshadowing issue with the People's party, but the Popubsts (who always place reform anil good government with party name and party ties) will join these honest-money men from the old par t:es on this great question. .Yes, the new party will come, and the goldbug Democrats and the gold- bug Republicans will soon be forced to go together in one party, where they belong. Second, as to the strength of this new movement, I will say that it will be surprisingly large. The Populist members of the General Assembly of this State have already indorsed it Nine tenths of the voters of North Carolina are radically opposed to the blighting financial policy fasten ed upon the country by the Demo cratic and Republican leaders. We believe that enough of these will put patriotism aoove party to sweep tne State in lS'Jb. Marix Bctler. Elliott, N. C. . PRESIDENT OF THE BIMETALLIC LEAGUE TALKS. That the silver question, or more properly stated, the money question is today the supreme issue in this country, can hardly be disputed. Nor will the fact be questioned .that on this issae lines are already clearly drawn. As stated in the recent ad dress put out by the committee of the bimetallic conference, held a few days ago at Washington: "The issue is between the gold RALEIGH, N. C, THURSDAY, MAY 2,181)5. standard, gold tKinds and bank cur rency n the ou. side, and the biuirtaliic i-thndard, no buiiJs and go-ernmtut currency, on the otfa-r." Thone iu favor of the gold .standard and th surrender of the creation and control of the pap.r currency to the bauks, iu t.tt-t, now form one party, and lbos in favor of th? biin tallic standard and government control of ihe currency form th other. The advocates of the gold standard, it is true, are found with the old labels of Republican or Democrat on them, but on this ques tion they come, together iu common ranks. Thou in favor of the bimetal lic standard have heretofore con tended for their eauneiu tbee differ ent parties, and have utterly. failt d to accomplish results. "The purpose of the new organization is simply to provide a way by which th se who ere in favor of a return to the con stitutional htaizdard of go'd and silver may come together. Tiiere may be those who care mor for party name than for the cause, who continue in the old parties no matter where the party takes them, but most people care more to kno where they are going than the name of the ear they ride iu. There is no foundation for any h.pe that the Re publican pai iy, as that paMy is or ganized and controlled, or is likely to be controlled, will restore the bimetallic standard. The Democratic party will cer tainly split oh this issue; it has al ready split; one part will go, or has gone, with the gold prty, and the other cannot elect a President. The Republican party will a'so lose a score of Western States, besides votes by the hundred thousand in the States. These States aud these voters must go together if they would accomplish anything, and they will get together in the new party. Alr-ady responses are coming in y the thousand from Democrats, Republicans and Populists enthusi astically indorsing the new move ment- The people know the import ance of tin? issue and that the battle inust'be won in 1S!0, or their condi tion will become well nigh hopeless. There is no other is?ue for ly!)G, and there can be no other The tariff question is gone utterly. No debtor nation can make protection effective under the single gold standard Economists know that is impossible, aud the people are fast finding it out. No, there is now in this country but one issue, and on that but two parties, the gold party and the bi metallic party. Nothing can be settled till this question is settled. We must first of all things, know what our money is to be. Every thing else hangs on this. There is no hope of a return of prosperity till this question is settled and settled rightly. Those who be lieve in gold and silver money, coined on terms of exact equality as before 1873, constitute an overwhelming majority and will, we believe, win this fight in 1890, with Joseph C. Sibley, of Pennsylvania, as their candidate for President. A. J. Warner. "Washington, D. C. CONGRESSMAN "TOM' WATSON POIN'TS OUT A MOTLEY CROWD Of 1'UHLIO ENEMIES. 1 do not believe there will be an other political party formed by 18'JG, but I do believe that an understand ing will be leached between the Populists, the American bimetallic party and the free silver elements of the Democratic and Republican par ties, which will amount practically to the formation of a united opposi tion to the extreme contraction, pro tective, corporation and class-rule tendencies so boldly developed in the policies ot such Democrats as Cleye- and, Brice, (jrorman, Buyard, Hill, Vilas and 01n?y, and of such Repnb- ieans as Sherman, Alas n, Reed and McKinley. Disguise it as we may, the fueling exists that a life and death struggle has begun between the principles upon which this government was founded and the principles against which its formation was a protest. The question is, can we restore the andm irks of the fathers? Can we defend the heritage of the revolu tion agiinst the socialist, anarchist, comtnumonist, on the one side, and against the pluto rat, the corporate feudalism, the specially privileged millionaires, on the other? I believe it can be done and that it will be d ne. But a union of all the anti- lass-rule elements is absolutely necessary. To bring about this union without anysacrifi.ee of principle will.be a heavy task, but I believe that hon est, earnest, able men are now at work upon hopeful hnes,and that the resnlt aimed at will be accomplished by 1890. I am a Populist from the shoes up, but I will work heartily with auv man who opposes the Rothschild- Clereland policy and the utter de struction of our liberties which it threatens. Excepting a strong opposition in the cities, where the banks naturally control many business men and many newspapers, the anti-class-rule ele ments I have mentioned would carry with them almost everybody n this State who does not hold an office. Thomas E. Watson. Thompson, Ga. A Notable Sly. Fro a the Opelika News. James Kelan, one of the most famous spies of the Confederate army, the only one whom President Davis and his cabinet trusted with important messages and State se crets, died at the city hospital, in Kausas C ty, last week. He has for the last few years been a sporting m in, living on his luck as a gambler. He began his career as a paper car rier aud while a mere boy began serv ing the Confederacy by transferring mail from Missouri to Memphis. In that service he was captured and sentenced to be shot but managed to make his escipe, after when he blossomed out as the most noted spy of the Confederacy. At one time he was a man o' great means but death found him a pauper, and he was buried in the pauper's field.

Again thanking you for your kindness I have the honor to be Yours truly, JosEi'rt J.

The full force of these facts should be recognized and considered by all hrnent men. Then let them de cide whwe their trust can best b- put. The administration surely knows that a considerable namber of Dem ocrats are now holding two offices but there's no record of a letter to any of them in which His Excellency says: "would respectfnlly call yojr attention to Article XIV, Section 7, of the Constitution." Why so? Well. we just don't know, but we think this is Democracy. The case is with you. KINDLY ASK A NEIGHBOR TO BECOME A SUBSCRIBER.

For The Cain-ai:iJ. Takikiro, N. C, April 27. l'resi- lent Cleveland has written a letter to some parties in Chicago, in re sponse to an invitation to hi present at a ''hard ni neyM convention which is to be held in that city. In the letter he presents his views as to the hattle that is to be waged, and vigor ously advocates the single gold standard. It is the same old stereotyped argument that the goldbugs use that the farmers and wage-earners are the first sufferers from an un sound () linaneiil policy that gives any ree.ogni-iou to the white metal lu the concluding paragraph the l'resident says: Ufcuuise it a we may the line of battle isurawn oeiwten Hie lorees of safe currency and thorse of silver uiono-metallisin." Now you have it in explicit and uneijuiyocal teims from the great party-wrecker, wno absorbs only the views of the Kothschilds. Indeed, the line- of battle in the next contest will be strongly an snarpiy urawn. mere win oe no i l , . mi 1 1 more Janus-faced platforms that will mean one thing in tb North, and something radically different in the South. Lincoln said that "you can fool part of the people all the time, all ot the people sometime, but y u can not fool all the people all the time.' The farmers and wage-earners wii wage the next battle tor the restora tion of the "dollars of our dad l es." They have been deceived once, and like a "ournt child they dread the Bre." The paramount issue in American politics is whether this nation Khali be gov rnd by the ww. through honest representative?, or whether a band of bondholders and boodlers shall hold the ieins of government All other issues sink into insignifi cance when we are en fronted by such perilous conditions. W ill the people remain idla and permit their liberties to be wrested from them by a money monarchy aea tney nave the power, by ballot. to relieve them y Already the Amencin. bankers association is laying plans to dj n jm missionary work where the silvei sentiment prevails. It is high time that every patriot who loves his home should be on tbt alert. Tne money devil, like his satan'u mj sty, is insidious, and iryou look askance he will devour you. There fore, beware ! Efery eff irt will be made, and every scheme that a fiendish brain ran devise, will be used to defeat tbe people in the contest for financial reform. - Let no one be dismayed.

It ia imbed refreshing, as well as edify- i - ing, to an wno knew the person ne f the recent legislature, aud the na ture of its work, to read the effusions of the Wilmington Messenger of the th ult. in if article, "The Passing of the Demagigue" aud other papers of lie ilk. The enemy teems to be dyire hard, and without even a ray of hope for the future. There seems to be no inclination to repentance, and without a ry of h p to gild th' lrk shadows al approaching dinso lution, they pass from the political arena with only curses and impreca tions lor tnose left on dutv. ana back from their shadowy way comes the waFning, "All hooe abandon who enter her." D lubtless through all these years of misrule and misrepresentation to the people, they have learned to ove their business, xnd dislike to surrender, what to them, has become a sweet morsel Hut why all thi abuse of the tribunal before which the;r cause was heard f Do thev preuiu- that criticism, ridicule, een ure aLd vituperation will soften the seusib lities of an already outraged public! Yet such is their course! 4f the legislature was but a "gang of rampant demagogues and ignoTa a uses, (as the Messenger say) who but the people are responsible? If t was "the most foul and falae ombination of conspirators'" that ever met in the State, who bat tbe people a large majority of the peo pi must answer for them. Vet, s-ich is the spleen and venom, of tbe partuan press cf North Caro Una, that not a c tiren esr-Mpes tbe thrust of its bitterest invectives. The State itself is maligned, and inflam ing headlines published to the world in disgrace, by the same sheets that claim to be the "salt of the earth." Such is the attitude of the press that claims most interest in the State. -Continued Fourth fage. "itV t-A'M.t t!' NO. Ji;. THE PLAN OF THE SHYLOCKS.
