This issue of Thb Caucasian ends
ita thirteenth year. The history of
the paper has been, perhaps, more
eventful thaa that of any other
joural over published ia Nrth Car
olina. Whatever it may hare done
now belongs to the irrevocable past.
For any good it may have accom
plished, credit is due to those who
have suHtained it and stood by it
daring the tier cent journalistic bat
tles ever waged in the btate.
As it begins the fourteenth year of
its existence the tio.es are pregnant
with conditions from which will be
evolved events tnat will make his
tory. Ii stands ready and hopes to
be able to take some part in shaping
the course of tbat evolution with a
view to securing the most beueflceiit
results. To that end it first humbly
and reverently invokes the direction
and guidance of Uiiu who, alone,
can bestow widom and power to
meet respoutibihties and discharge
duties that may be assumed or im
posed. Next, it appeals to all men who
love their feilow men for assistance
and support; for uuless its ability to
perceive right from wrong is per
vertedunless its conception of
econ mio morality and justice be
tween man and man is wrong it can
ABsert in the light of truth and with
A clear conscience that its highest
aim and ambition is to aid in bring
ing about conditions that will re
duce suffering and misery that
will establish hope of an evergrowing
hiirher type of manhood, and that
will enable and encourage men to
aspire to the attainment of it.

For such support as has already
been accorded, we have no words to
express our gratitude. But as great
as it has been it cannot suffice for
tho heaving turmoil and confusion
of the present. Order must be
brought out of chaos. Pub'ie eco
nomic equity must be rescued
from the ruthless clutch of class
favoritism. And to accomplish this
those who are sent to the front
to bear the banners, watch the en
emy and give the signals mast have
the united support of all who cast
their fortunes and honor with the
cause represented by the banners.
AllOUr COTTON AMU I'KICKS FOR IT.
The happenings of the past few
days, together with the records of
the past few years, ought to enable
a man of ordinary intelligence to
understand that manipulation and
tptculation is a bigger factor in de
terminmg the price of cotton than
the law of tupply and demand.
Again, we wish to remark and as
sert, that this "law of supply and
demand" is artificial. Money is as
much subject to that "law" as any
ming eise. ir ine money power
makes this money scarce, then the
producers of wealth must surrender
more of their products to get money
than they would if money were plen
tiful. The supply of money is alto
gether in the bands of men, and when
tuey make it scarce they increase its
power. Just get this idea into yonr
mind. Think it out and see if you
won't feel that you have discovered
something.
wnen me price or cotton was
about four cents last year, the old
pluto press, &c, kept up a continual
howl about supply and demand the
crop being about nine million bales
This year cotton is selling for more
than eight cents, and the old pluto
press whoops up Cleveland's gold
standard idea as the "boss" good
thing the crop being estimated at
between six and seven million bales
Now, why was the supply greater
than the demand in 181)4! Every
body knows that factories were shut
down all over the country millions
of people were out of work they
were hungry and ragged they would
have bought if they could. Why
did they not buy! They had no
money. Why did they have no
money T They had no work. Why
did they have no work! Because
the factories were shut down. Why
were the factories shut downf Be
cause the trusts on the one hand got
together, and tried to put prices of
goods up, and then the bankers got
together and brought on a money
panic. And so when the 'producers
. had worked hard and made much,
and had more products all around
than ever before, they found them
selves in the agonies of the worst
and most widespread panic this
country has ever known. And now,
when crops are short, when so much
has not been made, the wealth-producers
hear the cry all around that
"prosperity is returning I" The la
mented Vance would say of any
man who would preach that "supply
and demand" had anything to do
with these conditions in .a natural
way Vas either a "knave or a fool."
He would be right, too.
Let's take the record up now, and
i
see if the amount of cotton ia vari-J
ons years, and the prieea for the
same, will bear out a natural supply
and demand theory. Here are some
figures from the Now York World:
In MQ1 the crop was placed at S.6M.000.
yet the avers- price to the New York mar
ket, aa estimated by tbe Fodersl Bursa of
Htaiirtica, waa S.J cents, while in iC. with
s crop of 6.7UU.O0U. tbe sversce price for tbe
year waa only 8 50 ceuta. Of coane tbe pro
duction in any given year moat be consid
ered in connection with tbe surplus from
the year preceding, bat tbe njrures nnce
considered aa a wboie. , indicate that
fluctuating demand has more to do witb
prices tban va iationa in aupplv. 1 boa in
is&t, witb a crop of S.713.0UU baits tbe aver
ace New York trce of cotton was 10 W.
in 1a it bad risen to 1 1 07 on a cm of
7.311,000, and in ISM, witb almost tbe same
crop (7,627 ,000 bales), it sold down to 6.9 on
the year's average."
see
Now the "fluctuating demsnd"
above referred to means simply that
in some years the trusts and money
power combined did not "contract
the currency" did not shut up fac
tories, and did not make panics.
Hence tbe m arses of people could
get work to do, and as long as
they could work they could buy; and
as long as they could buy, the supply
did not exceed the dsmand. If the
people would just get down to an
honest and earnest study of this
tupply and demand scheme, they would
soon find that it has been used for
tbe purpose of duping and fooling
them many long years.
Duricg the last two weeks the cot
ton market has been "feverish." This
is a term the speculators use. It
was worked up to this "feverish"
condit'on for a purpose. Tbe big
workers made fortunes, and all the
little suckers were caught. Of course
what they lost is what the big work
ers gained. Mr. John H. Inman, of
New York, made two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars in less than a
week by this ''feverish" condition in
the market. After having done this
he can open up and talk glibly and
serenely about the amount of cotton
regulating the price. Here is what
be says :
The congestion of cotton, which has
taken place for the last several weeks, and
which culminated lact Wednesday, wus
the rkhult of wild BPiojUTiON of Ameri
cans to carry tbe price to 10 cents. Prices
were cammed so high last week that it was
lrfectly apparent to any sensible ma.i who
is arcustorue 1 to deal in cotton that if he
wahtei to operate at ail. there was noth
ing to do but Hhut bis eyes and sell. Re
gardless of what the crop is likely to be,
cotton was carried entirely too high, at least
for the time being. Reactions came more
quickly and sharper than any of us ex
lected, but with this enormous liquidation
the atmosphere will gradually clear and the
movement of prices will now be regulated
by the volume o' receipts, and the nrobable
outcome of the crop. If the crop is only
0.500,000 bales, as many honest and well-informed
men appear to believe, cotton, in
my opinion, will work back to the neigh
borhood of 10 cents before the season is
over. On the contrary, if we have 7,000,000
bales, as some other standard authorities es
timate, the crop we are now selling is at a
fair valuation'
Now, just notice some of the
phrases of the above those capi
talized, for instance. You can study
out their meaning if you will; and if
you will discover the meaning it will
be worth much more to you than if
somebody told you. It is time that
the men who produce cotton and
other products were trying to get at
the causes of some things. Mr. In
man never raised a bale of this cot
ton. He makes $250,000 on it in less
than a week. Can anybody point
out to us a man, or a hundred men
combined, who raised cotton and
made that much money on it this
year! Oh! how we long for the day
to come when the farmers will show
that they are not to be regarded as a
lot of chumps, and used as a set of
ten pins by the speculators and gam
blers. They haven't got money
enough to fight them, but they can,
if they will vote right, put a stop to
this sort of thing by law.
ONE DAI'S OUTPUT OF GOLDBTJG
ARGUMENT.
Tho New York Evening Post has
an.editorial headed, "Ignorance and
carelessness is the cause " In this
editorial the editor charges that "all
the hard times of the farmers in the
South and West are due to their
own ignorance and carelessness."
In answer to this Thb Caucasian
claims that the farmers of the South
and West have as much sense now
as they had ten years ago, when
they were more prosperous than
they are now. They work harder
and make more produce, and are
more economical now than they were
then.
The Post is owned by the gold
bugs, and is trying to draw atten
tion from the real cause of hard
times.
Low prices, is the cause of hard
times, and low prices is caused by a
scarcity of money. This scarcity of
money has not been brought about
by the farmers, but by the Presi
dent of the United States and Con
gress. If the farmers have been
guilty of any "ignorance and care
lessness," it has been in voting for
Congressmen and a President who
have betrayed the interests of the
people for the bankers and money
gambleis.
On the same day the New York
World had an editorial congratulat
ing the country that "the hard times
were over, and that business was be
ginning to boom, and that prosperity
was i, returning everywhere." This
did not surprise us much in afcold
paper like the World, but we were
astonished to see a number of the
so-called free silver Democratic pa
pers in this State publish the same
kind of rot.
The Caucasian rises to state that
the "boom" has not reached North
Carolina. If any farmermerchant,
lawyer, or any one else (hot corf
nected with a bank or other monop
oly) has had this "boom" to come to
his door, we would like to hear from
him. It is the kind of news Thk
Caucasian would like to publish.
. .
On the same day the New Yorki
Herald had an editorial congratu
lating tbe farmers of tho South npon
tho faet that they had bad crops. It
said this would make better prieea
for what little they did make. Ac
cording to this logie jt would seem
that the less the farmer works and
tbe less he mikes, tbe more prosper
ous he will be. We notice that some
of tbe Democratic papers in North
Carolina have been publishing the
same kind of stuff.
O O
All this goes to show what straits
the gold2press is put to manufacture
enough falsehood to hide the truth.
They hope to keep tbe people di
vided by keeping them deluded as to
the real cause of hard times. But
the people of this country are now
thinking and investigating for them
selves. They know that if the gov
ernment would furnish a sufficient
amount of legal tender money that
prices would be good when the farm
ers made a good crop, and that the
more they made tbe more prosperous
they would be, and that as the farmer
prospered so would every merchant
and professional man around him
prosper.
Our people are finding this out,
and they know that tbe way to get
it is to vote for it. They know that
times will never be better till they
elect an honest man for President.
The goldbugs control the machinery
of both old parties, and they will
not allow either to nominate an non
est man for Fresident. The People's
party can and will nominate such a
man, and the people will vote for
him.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS'
1st. Was the law previous to 1873 for the
free and unlimited coinage of gold and sil
ver. 2nd. Does the unlimited coinage mean to
coin all the silver that any nation may
bring into the United States for coinage?
Can I go to Mexico ifor illustration) and

IT .... 1 . , .
j uiteu ouiies ana nave it cornea into money
16 to 1 free' If so tben I have made $40,
000. I would be elad for an explanation
upon tbe aoove questions. At the present
i cannot say mat I am in favor of the un
limited coinage, but I can say I am in favor
of gold and silver both being valued as it
always has been u. W. Hales.
1st. The coinage laws as they ex
isted prior to 1873 provided for the
free and unlimited coinage of silver
and gold at the ratio of 16 to 1. Sil
ver and gold might be brought from
anywhere to the United States mints
and coined on these terms. Thelaw was
operative and regulated the value of
the metals even at a time when the
production of silver equalled thirty
nve tons to the production of one
ton of gold. In 1873, when the coin
age laws were secretly and surrep
titiously changed, the silver dollar
was selling for one dollar and
three cents in gold. This was be
cause silver was in demand for use
in the arts. The law said that 371i
grains of silver was worth a dollar,
and that much passed for a dollar
But the demand of the arts caused
silver to be sought for to such an
extent that the value of 37Ii grains
was pushed above what the law pre
scribed for it.
When the value prescribed by law
was taken from silver, it became a
commodity not a legal money like
gold and its value has fluctuated in
proportion to the amount of honey
which could be paid for it. If the
tow which now makes a certain
amount of gold a dollar should be
repealed, that metal would become a
commodity and it would fluctuate in
value.
2nd. "Free and unlimited coinage
of gold and silver" means that the
mints should be open for the coin
age of both metal regardless of from
whence they come. This is a phase
of the question which eauses some
people to indulge in shrieks of ag
ony lest this country should be
"flooded with foreign silver." When
it is pretty clearly known that all
the silver there is could be put into
a building sixty-five feet square, it
can.be seen that these shrieks are
not inspired by the actual fear of
flood.
A . l. xl . .
tu me matter oi purchasing so
much silver in Mexico and having
it coined into dollars in thiaennnt
thereby making a big profit, we have
to say that the scheme sounds pret
ty, dut, we do not think anybody
nas ever accomDlishedit. QnitA
number of men have $60,000 whieh
would invest in bullion silver if they
could bring it to this country and
have it coined into $100,000. But
they don't-, and if they don't why don't
m a v
ineyj uo you see.
We are willing to try to get a
lit
tie deeper into the subject if any
more questions shall be asked.
THE SCHEME O XUK BANKER'S CON
TEMTION AT ATLANTA.
In another column will be found
an account of the plans adontAd hv
the Bankers' convention in Atlanta
last week to foree Congress to legal
ize another step in the infamous
gold conspiracy. They say that the
government must not issue money,
but it must be turned over to
the
banks.
A large namber of the Democratic
papers are- endorsing this tosition
and not a single Democratic paper
t.80 iar a we have seen) is fighting
this seheme of the banks.
What did Thomas Jefferson say
on this subject? Here are his plain
words:
"I sincerely believe that banking estab
lish menu are more dangerous than stand-
Jlak eolation must be suppressed and
it belongs7 nation, woere

eroaeuments or tne oanaa and drover
them out of tho govern meat's bnai
ness. Lincoln took the same position
and issued government treasury
notes (greenbacks) before he would
surrender to the gold trust, . "
The Democratic and Republican
parties have deserted tho principles
their founders and gone into co
partnership with the banks and
gold trust against the people.
The People's party stands lo-dav
'or the principles of Jefferson, Jack
son and Lineoln. Let every patriot
stand by these principles and help
People's party to redeem our
government and restore prosperity
to
tbe people and our drooping in

The hour has come. Let patriots
act!
HOW TO IlKVaAr THK OOLDBCUS
IK
TilKNtXr HKNATE.
In another column we publish an
interview which Senator Butler gave
out to the press a few days ago as to
his position about the organization
of the next Senate. He wants the sil
ver men to organize that body and
says they can do so, unless
some of those Senators claiming to
be for silver go over to the goldbugs
Senator Butler is in favor of the
silver men. co-operating together
against ue goiaougs.
f
Now let every silver Senator take
the same patriotic position and an
important victory will be gained
over the gold monometallists. If
Senator is opposed to the gold stand-
rd, if he wants to vote for free sil
ver, his first and most important
vote must be to put the Senate or
ganization in the hands of those who
favor free coinage.
LX-jENATOK WALSH COHUEHNS THK
DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
Ex-Senator Walsh,, of Georgia
says in his paper the Augusta Chron
icle:
"Tn nnrtv that im nnl liniui.il. ; n -t
bimetallism and of a reduction of taxation
udou the necessaries of life, ahnnlri vor
again command tiie voluntary support of
tne American people. No party that is not
in favor of tbe free and unlimited coinage
of silver and sold at the leeal ratio es
tablished by law prior to 1873 and of a
STRICTLY KtVIKne Tmiri ahnnll ha intonat
ed with the administration of the Federal
uuvcrnmeni."
Senator Walsh cannot honestly
hold these views and atav in the
Democratic party. The party has
long since deserted those principles.
Before Senator Walsh votes in 1896,
he must give up those convictions or
give up the Democratic party. If
he sticks to those honest views ' he
must join the People's party.

The claim Of some the ao-ealleri free

says it is of tho utmost importance
for f Uver men to organize the Sen

unless this is done no silver bill will

Sherman's recent interview shows
that there will be an effort on the
part of the gold men to control tbe

says this cannot succeed unless some

For the coming year the Society

has been done, with odds in favor of an
improvement on all past efforts. While
the pace set by CoL J. S. Carr and his
assistants will prove a hard one to
keep op with, CoL Cameron will doubt
less prove capable of equalling the re
cord, and if he, with his assistants, can
possibly surpass it, none will be quick
er to congratulbte him than those over
whom he shall win victory in the mat
ter of records.
CoL John Nichols was re-elected
Secretary of the society.
Ths Caucasian desires to promise
here and now, that under the manage
ment of this directory, the next State
fair will be a credit and glory to the
State. Let everybody take a practical
interest in this enterprise, and help
make it a success. It fa for tbe public
good. The President does not receive
a cent for the work he gives to it, and
tbe remuneration of the Secretary
would not pay respectable board for
his family. It is a publio work, and
everybody ought to take a hand in it.
