At the close of the ten days' de
bate between Mr. Ilorr and Mr. Har
vey, on the financial question, Mr.
Harvey said:
" I am about to close this debate. I
want, in the words thai I hhall utter,
to extend an encouraging message
to the distressed people of the United
States. I want to say to them that
relief is coming; to pick up courage;
anil to those who are suffering uotil
their hopes are crushed, and who
eoutemplate abandonment of all
hope in their business, I say do rot
do so. Hope, comfort
AND RELIEF ARE COMING.
Manhood in this country is again
going to be revived. We are going
to force this country by the sheer in
fluence of intelligence to cease its
worship of property and money as
of greater value than humanity.
Applause.
Some Scottish troops were once
surrounded by the enemy, and after
constant lighting, with provisions
cut off, the Scottish soldiers were
dying of hunger. They were still
brave, and could repel the enemy,
but the wasting away of life from
Htarvation brought them to the con
sideratiou of the
THE QUESTION OF SURRENDERING.
Tbey had waited in vain for rein
forcements. When about to send
forth the flag of truce to announce
that fact, after waiting many days
and weeks for reinforcements to re
lieve them, the soldier who started
with the message had but mounted
the parapets when he heard in the
distance the Seotch bagpipes of the
Scottish soldiers playing "The
Campbells are Coming." There was
no surrender, and there was victory.
I.et me say to the people of the
United States if you will but listen,
you will hear the music upon the air,
"THE CAMPBELLS ARE COMINO."
The spirits of Washington, J titer
i -r
son. Jackson ana Lincoln are com

The same oppression that exists
in this country by the fraudulent
money measurement that isconfls
catingyour property, exists through
out the woild. It first entrenches
itself in the power of the officers
who obey its commands. As your
property falls in value, the salaries
of these officers are increased.
Where 17,000 bushels of wheat would
have paid the President's salary of
$25,000 in 1873, it will take 80 000
bushels to pay the salary of Mr.
Cleveland of $.")0,000 now.
With the encouragement of the
money power comes increased sala
ries and official corruption; hence
official despotism.
To-day
liberty is appealing to rs
from all over the world. Cuba to
day is striking for liberty against
the oppressor, Spain. I have stood
in the harbor of Havana and looked
upon that old fortress at its mouth,
and had told me by a citizen of Ha
vana that beneath its walls under
ground were subterranean channels,
passagesand cells; that citizens of
Cuba for political crimes only, had
been in these cells for years, and
had never seen daylight.
It is to liberate these people, it is
to end their oppression that comes
with Your money power, that the
liberty-loving people of Cuba are to
day striking for liberty.
There is a rising in this country
with your money power, a tendency
to
entrench and protect oppres
SION
the world over, where it gets the
opportunity.
The President of the United States,
the willing implement of the money
power and tvranuy and oppression
has given every assistance to Spain;
has sent our war vessels to guard
the coast of Cuba, to prevent the
friends of Cuba, the Spaniards liv
ing in Florida, from going to their
succor.
Wo are fighting the battle of lib
erty for the world. Applause The
result of your verdict upon this mo
mentous question will be world-wide.
It will convey words of cheer and
stimulate the nerves op free men
in every land. Never was civiliza
tion so dependent upon the action of
&ny one people in the world as it is
to-day upon the people of the United
States.
The money power has crushed hu
man liberty the world over. Civili
zation arose on the Tigris and the
Euphrates. At its birth the selfish
influence through the money power
that arrogated to the few the prop
erty of the country drove the people
seeking liberty away, and they
crossed the Mediterranean into
Greece and Rome.
In turn the same selfish interest
there absorbed the property of the
people and sent freemen to modern
Europe. Again pursued by the same
"elfish Bpirit, those freemen of Eu
rope fled
ACROSS THE ATLANTIC TO AMERICA.
lhereisno other place you can
go. The islands of the Pacific Ocean
will not sustain the population. We
stand to day with our backs to tbe
Pacific Ocean and our faces to that
enemy that has eaten out civiliza
tion in all countries today. Tbe tail
of that serpent rests in Egypt and
India, its body in Europe, and its
head is raised in this country. Wil

W35.000 Short.
It has been discovered in Wash

for uianyyears been Librarian of
Congress, is $35,000 short in his offi

Investigation has shown that pay
rolls had been signed by parties who
had not -drawn the amounts for which
they signed. Spofford has paid back
$JJ,0U0, and does not seem disturbed
at the condition of things.

On Account of His
Principles.
DOESN'T SUIT THE GOLDBUGS
Hla Views at Variance with TboM of
Rockefeller Who Fouaded tha Institu
tion Uevoted to tha Interest of tbe
People and Antagonistic to Jobbery
and Trusts.
The Caucasian has recently no
ticed many references in the press
to certain gifts and endowments to
various large "educational" institu
tions by the millionaires of the
country. In every instance great
praise is lavished upon the givers
for their great and magnificent gen
erosity and philanthropy.
We do not wish to attempt to take
away or doubt any credit or honor
that may be justly due to anybody
who has made such donations.
The power of money, however, is
great for good or evil in college or
church, as it may be used; and with
this statement we wish to submit an
account of a recent occurrence which
constitutes a subject for much con
sideration. Here is the occurrence:
Chicago, Aug. 17. Edward W.
Bamis, Professor of Political Econ
omy in the Chicago University, sev
ered his relations with that institu
tion last week. Prof. Bemis "re
signed" because his resignation was
desired. His scalp dangles at the
belt of monopoly. Because he op
posed the greed of corporations, and
argued against
THE LAWLESSNESS OF TRUSTS,
his chair will be filled by another.
The issue raised by the case of
Prof. Bemis is already a fruitful
topic in all the seats of learning.
There is a crisis at hand amontr ed-
ueators. It is the old story of capi-
tal agoinst labor, only now it has in
vaded the universities. The gold
bugs ard monopolists are trying to
control the colleges. The case of
Prof. Ely, of the University ot Wis
consin, is an illustration. He was
charged with being a Socialist be
cause he wrote
against the present order
of things. He was tried and vindi
cated. Prof, Bemis is not as ag
gressive as Prof. Ely, though he
studied under him at Johns Hopkins
University.
Prof. Bemis is a quiet man, per
sistent, but not aggressive, and a
hard worker. He is recognized
among economists as one of the
wheel horses in the work of gather
ing material for the revision of the
principles of economic science on
inductive methods. He is net known
by any one as a crusader against es
tablished order. He believes that
such natural monopolies as gas, wa
ter and street transportation should
be owned and
Anrn a rrpt nxr a vn rtATj m TT t TTTtT T I

though he does not hold that the
change should come at once, or per-
haps. ever universally.
The Chicago University was
founded and has been richly en-
do weu by jonn u. JttocKereiier, wno
has given $4,000,000 to it. Rockefel-
ler has made $75,000,000 in thirty
years. ne metnoas by wmcn mis
great wealth was acquired have been
strikingly presented in Henry D.
Lloyd's book, "Wealth Against
Commonwealth." Mr. Lloyd showed
it to be tne product or mer
ciless, industrial warfare, lawless
conspiracy and abuse of municipal
franchise. Mr. Yerkes, the street
railway magnate, is another bene
factor ot the university. He has
given $500,000 to the university in
the form of a telescope. Mr. Yerkes
ma(je $10,000-,O00 in ten yeais
jt was sai,j at tne time tnat in giv

to concentrate the gaze of the peo
pie on the heavens.

thorities. He has made a long, per-
sonal investigation of economic
problems, as presented in the larger
cities, and he has given his convic

and to the big university extension

At this point Marvin Hughitt, Pres
ident of the Chicago and Northwest
ern Railway, stepped up to the pul
pit and shouted: "I consider that
language an outrage. To imply that
the railroads cannot come into court
with clean hands is infamous." This
was doubtless
ONE REASON FOR HIS DISMISSAL.
Prof. Bemis is popular with the
students, who all sympathize with
him. He was seen to-day by The

RALEIGH, N. C, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER
. . '
, THE WAR IN CUBA. HON. T. J. JaRVIS.
Tha Flacky Little Island Maklag- a Great
Fight tor Independence.
The Island of Cuba is making a
desperate effort to free itself from
Spanish rule. For six months or
more they have been 'carrying on a
maenificent fight against tbe Span
iards. The cause is oppressive tax
ation and tyranny of officers. There
have been some desperate fights; and
and many fatalities. Since 1823 this
little Islttnd has made five efforts to
throw off the grip of Spain. The
last struggle lasted from 18G8 to
1876, and Spain was compelled to
send 140,000 troops there to suppress
the Cubans. Many thousands of
troops have been sent in from Spain
during the la?t few months to put
down the present uprising, but the
plucky Islanders seem to have got
ten the best of it up to date.
Many Americans would like to
aid the Cubans, but the United States
government 4ias issued orders thai
Americans must not interfere on ac
count of the relations existing be
tween this country and Spain.
Information has just been received
at Washington which indicate
that Cuba may win this fight. It
says that Spanish rule in Cuba can
not last many month1 longer, and
that the establishment of a republic
may be expected. This result will
be largely due to the attitude of the
planters, who are "not anxious to
continue paying tribute to Spain, and
who, in fact, are unable to do so any
longer.
Some South American republics
are taking -steps to 'recoernize the
right of Cuba to fight for her inde
pendence. Many American people
think the United States ought to
have done this long since.
CHINESE VS. CHRISTIANS.
The American Mission at Foo-Chow At
tacked by an Armed Mob.
Hong Kong, Aug. 22. Another
outrage has been committed upon
missionaries near Foo-Chow. The
American mission has been attacked
by a large and infuriated mob armed
with various weapons.
lhe chapel and s-hool bouse or
the mission wet e wrecked and four
of the native scholars were wounded.
lhe ioreign teachers, however, es-
caped injury.
A strong anti-foreign local feeling
prevails at Foo-Chow, and , it is
spreading among the populace, who
are parading the thoroughfares with
cries of" "drive out the foreign dev
ils."
The Washington Post, comment-
ing on tbe several attacks made by
Chinese on missionaries, says with
some force and much sense:
"We have on all occasions main
tained the proposition that our mis
sionary work in China is a failure-
In this we are supported by the tes
timony of travelers, merchants, na
val omcers, aud representatives ofy
the civil branch of our government.
The Chinese p ople do not want the
Christian religion. They have never
given it the slightest encouragement,
and we see now that, but tor the
sternest restraint of authority, they
would be unwilling to tolerate thj
presence ot tne missionaries tor so
much as a single day. Neither is it
logical tor tne United estates govern
ment to assume an attitude of pro-
tection as regard the representa-
Uye ot any special raith who may
. n 1 . .
choose to undertake the conversion
of foreign people. We have no na-
tional religion. We recognize all
religions and give preference to
none. Suppose some American con-
verts to naddhism or Uontucianism
were to set up a propaganda in Mex-
ico and undertake to evangelize
thatuatnouc country would it not
be as incumbent upon us to dispatch
armies for their protection as it can
now be to send our gunboats up th
Yang-tse for the Christian mission-
aries at Ku-Cheng?"

"When i Governor Jarvi goioar to
flop to tbe Populist? was a ques
tion asked th Caucasian by a Dem
ocratic editor last week."
Tne trouble is, ex-Senator Jarvis
made a speech at Morganton. The
Charlotte Observer declares that he
said at one time that the Democratic
party was the place to get silver.
Then a little further on, in the same
speech, he advised the people to
study the question and vote with any
party that would give them what
they wanted.
If the ex Senator is not careful he
will either red or driven out of the
party before he gets ready lo come.
He ought to know that it is an un
pardonable sin to talk about voting
"with any party'' when making a
Democratic speech.
The Democrats of Morganton are
"huffy." Many of them are mad be
cause he discussed tbe financial ques
tion, and there is talk about holding
a "sound money" convention. One
Democrat is quoted as saying: "It
was a mistake to make a pure silver
speech at this time. Curse the legis
lature, the Republicans &c."
That's it. Nothing smashes these
hide-bound old Dems like a discus
sion; but when it comes to abuse,
mud slinging and billingsgate, you
hit them right where they live.

Concord, N. C, Aug. 25. I want

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE CATCASIAK.
The Caucasian, of Raleigh, N. C,
writes tbe Item asking for informa
tion aoont tne sentiment that exists
among the people of the Northeast
on the subject of silver, government
management of railways, etc.
The Item replies: Tbe plain peo
ple of tne Northeast are not as well
informed on tbe question of free Fil-
ver as the same people in the West
peakers nor printed papers giving
iaeirui. i

Tnere are a few wbo do a little to-

ward it. but the great mass of the
people have no way of
getting at the FACTS.
If they had, undoubtedly they
would at once espouse the interests
of theilteriu$ m well as some other

needed currency reform.
It is a striking fact, that so few of
the public speakers in behalf of Free
Silver go to New York city and oth
er parts of the Northeast in their
rounds for the purpose of impartiug
information.
Why this is so is a probleor. ex
cept thecoM, such speaker, nave
uuiuiug iu urru i rum uisoraeny as- i
semblies, because throughout the
Northeast all political assemblages
listen with patience
to what anybody has to say, partic-

that these meetings are in tha diree-

The true born Americans in the

WITHOUT

Une of the chief reasons for this
is the fact that the people's move-
ment n V.o h n 1 f Am.n:n.:o.n

sed socialists lead it. Americans
prefer independence. They say, as
