Why Free Coinage of Silver Can
not Be Secured Through the
Democratic Party.
RECORDS, FACTS, OPINIONS,
Which Hhow the Falalty and Hvpoerio,
of Democratic Professions and Flat
forma The Vlewa of the People on the
guMtloo of the Day What They Know
and What They Think.
Under this head will be presented
communications competing for the
cash prizes announced elsewhere for
the best article on "Why the Free
and Unlimited Coinage of Silver
Cannot Be Obtained Through the
Democratic Party. "J
The first and foremost reason
why free coinage cannot be secured
through the Democratic party, is
that the New England element of
the Democratic party, are opposed
to the principles of protection of one
of the most essential productions of licans
as they would like to make yon be
lieve. And this is the crowd who claim
tbey are for free coinage, before
election, bat we see that when in
power, have proved themselves
THE WORST ENEMIES TO SILVER
and the expannion of currency that
ever controlled our government;
and ir fact the greatest curse as an
administrative party ever in power
in the United States in time of peace.
While preaching and profeesing the
necessity for economy and a cash ba
sis for the people, they have issued
hundreds of millions of interest
bearing bonds for the people to be
taxed to pay the i terest on for years
and years in order to maintain a
blXOLE STANDARD CURRENCY Or
ANTI-SILVER POMCY.
This party has lost Congress, and in
189G will go out of existence as it
should, upon its own record of in
famy and oppression of the people.
All intelligent persons in the South
and West in 189G who are informed of
these facts and understand that they
are made to supply members in
Democratic ranks by the pivotal
power of Democracy New England;
and that it is parallel in every
particular to the position occupied
in the past bv the colored repuh-
of the South and West in
that there should be an immediate re- I
tiremeot of the greenback. He said
in that speeah that, representing vari
ous form of money, there i in this
country today, amounting in the ag
gregate, about 1 2.22 1.000.011. of which
amount there is only 613,(MMJ in I

retirement of all money that is not
based upon or can not be redeemed in
gold; therefore, to be able to redeem
the fl.ftO ,000.000, according to their
view, th. re must be that amount of
gold t ie applied to that purpose. If
it cannot be secured then the people's
money and property must be sacrificed
by the retirement of paper currency,
thereby creating further contraction.
In mj 'opinion, it is a deliberate
scheme to bring the masses of this
country to perpetual financial slavery.
The few who now own half the wealth
of this country are by infamous meth
ods, endeavoringto force the people in
to subjection, so they can own all the
wealth. Does the spirit of liberty still
animate American citizens? Will they
assert their manhood, and liberate
themselves from the present galling
financial system?

being admittedly true, there will be no

the Republican party that of being
parties to a party to assist, by their
ballots, in their own degradation
without the manhood to resist it
will leave the Democratic party and
vote with the Pops, or stay at home
and ang their heads in shame for
abasing the only party that repre
sents their interest willing for their
wives to vote for them for once.
Such will be the result in 1890
and thereafter to the extent that
Democrats never will again have
the chance to give the people free
coinage, and therefore can never
be in a position to give the people
free coinage, much less of being
desirous of doing so.
Abbott L. Swinson.
These conclusions are more or
less proved by the past actions of the
Democratic party when upon numer
ous occasions, having a majority in
both branches of Congress, they voted
down free coinage of aileer, when as a
party they were committed to it.

charter in one State Virginia so
that it could move its cases, as a for

second object was to avoid that pro
vision of our State Constitution
which confers on the legislature of
North Carolina the right "to repeal,
alter or amend" any charter granted
in North Carolina. Another purpose
was to evade making the annual re
ports required of all State railroads
by section 1939 of the Code- In
other words, this company fancied
it could live and do br iness in
North Carolina independent of its
local laws and independent of the
State courts. It dresded the last

To ask the question is to answer it
in the People's Party. The over-
pose of defeating it.
The public will remember hew the
" ellow-Servant" bill was lost sev
eral times in the last legislature and
it is easy to locate the influence
which caused it to be lost.
The question which now greatly
interests the people of the State is
how to avoid the purposes and ob
jects of the Southern and to dis
cover, if possible, a means whereby
whelming defeat of the Democrats I this lease can be lawfully annulled

the Southern to parallel and rum
the traffic of the North Carolina
It ail road, by building the gap trout
Mocksville to Statesville.
The legislature has the light not
only to forbid this, but "to repeal,
alter or amend" the whole Midlmd
charter, and to prevent its building
one mile of that trap, and if it ir t
"sassy" and made any more huch
idle threats the State could Lick it
out of its borders iu short otder. It
comes into North Carolina as a
stranger comes ''within our ghteM
- to remain as long as it behaves.
If it "cuts up," we can expel it.
The Southern is also boasting that
if a suit is brought against it to en
join the lease it will remove the case
to the federal courts. This is an
other idle threat. Anv lawyer know
ing his business can prevent tin-
removal of the case, even as our lam-
now stands. Don't let the people be
afraid of this giant. The law is
greater than it, and the people mike
the law.
I have been giving the subject of
railroad legislation much thought
with a view to restrain the further
a agressions of these corporations on
the rights and liberties of the peo
ple, and I have other important nig
gestions which I may make in the
f uture-if your twenty thousand read
ers approve of this articie.
What the people of North Carolina
need is a leader on this line of
thought and, above all, a free and
brave newspaper which will pubhi-h
the facts and arguments. It is very
difficult for an editor with a pocket
full of passes to do justice between
the people and coi porations, and,
too often, the railroad fiicials or
their agents hold stock in newspa
pers, whereby its free action is
cramped.
I believe The Caucasian is inde
pendent and free and, as it has the
largest subscription list in the Sat.
I seek its columns to vindicate tie
truth and the law.
