Unless the people in this country arouse from their lethargy, and act tor themselves in matters of legislation and government, they will reap the same conditions of other countries; i. e. abject financial slavery.

The currency of that nation was gradually contracted until there was only $200,000,000 in circulation. The money had gone into the hands of the few and the result was, that Rome, once the proud mistress of all the world, became a land of pover y, degradation and distress.

Kitcbln la Which Senator Stutter Reviews the Action of CoogrfM aol the Court in the Matter He Say that the Court Stabbed the Constitution It Certainly la Sot Con stitutional to Tax the Poor and to Exempt the Rich. We are permitted to publish the following letter to Hon. W. H. Kitchin Senator Butler, who is chairman of the People's Party Ex ecutive committee, has, we suppose, written the same letter to every other member of the committee. The letter is a strong and stirring document. We publish it in full: Elliott, N. C, May 22, 1895. Hon. W. II. Kitchin, Member P. P. Stat' Ex. Com., Scotland Neck, N. C: Dear Sir: You have, I suppose, read the decision of the United States Supreme court declaring the income tax law unconstitutional. If Thomas Jefferson were living he would say that the news of that decision fell upon his ears like the sound of a fire bell at night. It was utjjust and oppressive taxa tion that caused our forefathers to rebel against the galling yoke of English tyranny. It was to protect the weak and to guarantee to the people of the world that there should be one government where liberty and equal justice should be enthroned that nerved our ancestois to a long. seven years' bloody struggle, and with their blood they purchased as a priceless heritage for succeeding generations of America the consti tution of the United States. On last Monday, May 20th, the anni versary of the Mecklenburg Declara tion of Independence, that constitu tion our constitution was given a fatal stab, and that, too, not by a foreign foe, but by our own Supreme court. But we must remember that while George Washington was leading the intrepid sons of liberty to victory in 177G, that there were in this country a class of persons, known as Tories, who did not lend a helping hand in that struggle for liberty, but who gave aid and comfort to the British foe. These same Tories hated the constitution that was framed by Jefferson and his compratiots, and would have a century ago given it a fatal stab, but fortunately at that time they did not control the Supreme court. If the constitution means what the Supreme court says it meant in its last decision, then Washington, Jefferson, Madison and Monroe were either incapable of expressing A Clarion Call From Greensboro, For The Caucasian. Greensboro, N. C. May27 --There is nothing more to be desired, at this time of our nation's existence, than for all Americans to be Americans in the great fight which is on, and nothing can be so detestable as for any to be Tories. The line is now drawn and none may escaDe showing on which side he battle. n,acn In the law passed by Congress the tax on incomes was not graduated so as to make the immensely rich pay their fair share of the burdens of government, but besides, actually exempted the large insurance com panies and some other rich corpora tions from paying any tax at all. In short, the law was a- disgraceful sham, but it was better than no law. But it seems that our court will not allow any of the rich to be taxed, even in a small degree. If a just and equitable graduated income tax law were enacted, it would. raise more than half of the money necessary to run this govern ment, and thereby enable Congress to reduce at least one-half, the taxes which the laborers and wealth-producers are now forced to pay. The only way that the rich can be made to pay their fair share of the taxes is through a graduated income tax. The People's Party is the only party that favors a graduated in come tax, therefore, if the great masses of the people ever get these taxes reduced, they must put the People's Party in power. And our party must appeal from the court to a higher tribunal appeal to the people to rally around its banner and over throw this monstrous decision of the Supreme court by passing a consti tutional amendment in favor of a graduated income tax. I think that our committee should come to the rescue-of the people by making such a declaration at ence, which declaration I am sure will be heartily endorsed by the next na tional convention of the People's Party. If you concur with meinthese views kindly write and notify me at once Yours very Itruly, Marion Butler, Ch'm. P. P. State Ex. Com. Son IaterMtlnf lata pandaat Mane j Law Adopted by Nertb Carolina- L aona Tberefraaa. For the Caucasian. I Durham, N. C, M ay 28. It is not generally known that North Carolina, n addition to being the first State of the American Union to promul gate a Declaration of Independence, on May 20th, 1775, was also the pioneer State after the revolutionary war, to blaze the way for the United States to adopt the Jeffersonin coinage act of 1792. Yet the history of the times recorded in our North Carolina laws furnishes indisputable evidence that such was the fact. I have now before me a bound copy of the laws of North Carolina from A. D. 1715 to A. D. 1796 (a rare book now), and on pages 443 to 446, inclusive, I find that in the year 1783, just at the end of the seven years' tneir patriotic views or eise mewero da, hia Tnquirer. ii l ueni i uiuqi iijauio auu p ui irauijr framed the constitution to be an en gine of injustice and oppression. It seems to me that the time has come for the People's party, in an official manner, to take a bold and patriotic stand to overthrow these Tories, to re-establish the constitution of our fathers and to execute it in the in terest of justice and humanity. In shoit, I think, the State Executive committee of the People's Party OPINIONS ON THE DECISIONS. They Glory at the Downfall of a Populist Measure. Bad Populist Doctrine. We regard this decision as one of the most important ever rendered by the court, for it deals a fatal blow to an insidious form of commun ism. Mad the income tax been al- I. i i i i iowea, naa tne court as a whole or by a majority succumbed to Populis- tic doctrines, there could have been no safety. The same Alliance influ ence that forced this un-American tax through Congress would have plotted other schemes of plunder and have relied confidently upon the Supreme court for yindication.
