oourse of the national Democratic
party i. uccortlintf to those princi

of true Icrno racy. The 1'eople's
I'arty in the only party in this coun
try to-day which n-prettentti those
yreat principles oi justice and good
government. The people recognize
this, and therefore the People's
I'arty is daily receiving accessions
by the thousands from both of the
old inonopoly-riddeti, British-gold
parties. The People's I'arty stands
for the principles of true Republi
canism as put for A.nrd 'by Abraham
Lincoln an 1 for true Democracy as
enunciated by our forefathers. On
tho.-o en at questions we stand, and
adhereuts of both the old parties are
comin'T to ns Jiecause they lelieve
their parties have deserted those
principles.
The peopi nave begun to. recog
nize the -1.1 "fence ietween party
principles aud a party name. They
refuse to di'seit their principles to
follow a name. They will not follow
an agent of the gold combine though
he hoists the dear old party banner.
Therefore tli y are repudiating the
two old traitorous parties and Hock
ing under tho banner of the People's
Party, where they can worship the
true godvf tleir fathers.

Mr. Pritchard then proceeded to

b.idy of the great Democratic peanut
politician, Ilill, of New York. Hill
had charged Pritchard with advoca
ting a high tariff reform, and said
ti his coarse, goldbug-inonopoly

how "both the North Carolina Sena

reply to this Mr. Pritchard said:

Y. The two distinguished New
York Senators were elected by Dem
ocratic legislatures which owed their
Democratic majority to election
methods like those of Mr. Hat Shea,
trouble the honorable Senator too
much to look after his own tariff in
felicities and party incongruities be
fore meddling with affairs in North
Carolina!
Speaking in part for North Caro
lina. I will sav to the Senator from
Nw Vork. in conclusion, that if
combination is necessary to com
plete Democratic defeat in the State
in this woeful year of Democratic
disaster, it will bo effected. My col
league is abundantly able to speak
for himself, but I will suggest to the
Senator from New York that the
difference between them is, that my
colleague left the Democratic party
because its abuses could not be cor
rected inside of its organization, and
the Senator from New York was
kicked out of the Democratic party
and branded as a traitor because his
opposition to the Wilson bill threat
ened th:;t hybrid measure with de-
rn.t. Jtetween the consistency of
my colleague and the self-stultification
of the Senator from New York,
who still maintains his adherence to
the Democratic party, tho compari
son is no disparagement to my col
league. I also wish to remind tho
Senator that McKano was sent to
the oenitentiary in consequence of
misconduct growing out of Demo
cratic election methods in the State
of New York. That is the point I
wikh to mako. The Senator seeks to
erado the force of it by reminding
tne that some timo in the past this
man was a decent man and aKepub
tlifi Stain of New York. We
have a L'roat many instances in his
tory where men had a good charac
ter, who.e character was unques
tioned, and in an evil moment they
of th.
country pay its just proportion ot
the taxes of be country. She wants
a stop put to these infamous
bond issue; she is opposed to
increasing txes and piling up an
interest-beaing debt in times of
peace; shewould rather cut down
expenses tan increase taxes: sne
would rathr pay debts tlian pile
them up. that is what she wants.
Is it not pi in ?
Mr. llii;. it is very piain iLiaugn-
ter , and l is very plain turtner tnat
that Nortl Carolina is not going to
get what ne wants, either from the
present Cngress or trom any otner
Congress or a great many years to
come. lie KepuOiican party is not
going to arrender to any such de
mands a those which come ironi
North Crolina. The Democratic
party is ot. Therefore North Car
olina w have to wail, because it
can notoe comforted.
The J'nator from North Carolina
wants f pass an income-tax law. Is
there ay objection to his passing it !
if he tints tol Let him introduce
such fbill. It simply violates the
Const ution; but as our friend, Tim
othy Campbell, of New York, says:
Wlit has tne constitution to no oe
twee friends?" Laughter.

roiNew York yield to just ono
quftioni
Jr. II ill. Certainly.
'r. DuTLEtt. I have introduced
a ill proposing an amendment to

a income tax. Will the Senator

Sherman I Hep. 1 The two living
and fundamental principles free
trade and production have kept
tur two parties alternately in power
for the last twenty years. You gen
tleman of the South have enjoyed
the honors and emoluments of office
on acccunt of your devotion to free
trade. We of the North have been
especially aggrandized and enrich
ed by our devotion to protection. As
long as we can make this the para
mount issue our parties are safe.
But these are perilous times. The
passage of the tariff bill at the last
session threatened the destruction of
both our parties by the loss of our
main issue. The skill of Mr- Keed
and his friends at the other end of
the Capitol has furnished a way
out. They have sent us two bills a
bond bill and a tariff bill. The bond
mil is not ot tne sugntest conse
quence. Nobody wants it, the Roth
schilds are opposed to it and why
should we be for it? But it will
serve a good purpose. We are on
the Finance Committee. Let the
bond bur be reported and you put
your tree coinage amendment on
that. When it comes into the Sen
ate all fiee coinage men can vote for
it and make free coinage speeches
on it for home consumption, because
it will do no harm and aid them at
home. When it is passed through
the Senate that is the end of it. In
that way our friends both in the
West and the South who must be
for free coinage to come here, will
have given evidence of the faith that
is in them and will have made them
selves solid with, their constituents
But the tariff is the important ques
tion to keep before the people, be
cause one-half of them are educated
to free trade and the other half to
high protection, and it is very easy
and when they get to fighting on
that issue they will forget all others
as they have for the past twenty
years, ine silver men ot tne west
can very well vote against putting
silver on the tariff bill because that
bill gives them protection on wool,
lead, lumber and coal which the peo
ple of the West attach much import
ance to, and with their votes we can
keep the tariff clean from any amend
ment and then there will be a fair
issue on the tariff between you of
the South and we of the North, as it
has been from the beginning, and it
is easy to fire the American heart on
that issue. Without that issue the
Populists would take the country
and consequently I have called this
caucus for the purpose of determin
ing a policy for the committee.
Harris I Dem. iouhave spoken
wisely. We must use both silver and
the tariff in my country or the "Pop-
ulf ' will snow us - under. The peo
ple are in earnest about silver, but
they are getting a little tired of the
tariff which has done them no good
and we have got to be vociferous
for silver. We will vote for silver
on all the bills and denounce any
man that votes against it, and we
are forced to be particularly severe
on all of you gold standard men,
which you always pardon on account
of our common motive to keep our
parties in line.
Aldrich Kep.J I fully concur
with all that is said by my brother
from Ohio and my dear friend from
Tennessee. We must keep the tariff
issue alive or both of our parties
will die. There is no other issue
upon which we can divide the peo
ple and prevent them from joining
the Populists and overthrowing our
friends in Wall and Lombard streets.
Everything is at stake in raising the
war cry of freedom over the tariff.
On that the North and South have
always come together with a crash
that attracted the attention of the
whole country. Let us strip the
tariff bill of all embarrassment by
tne pian suggested in tne wise re
marks of the Senator from Ohio,
agree.
Jonks (of Arkansas,) Dem. I am
surprised to find my sentiments
echped and re-echoed by each one of
you. Arkansas is in a perilous con
dition. The Populists are in earnest
for silver and our people are in earn
est and the only way we can get
their votes and keep the Democratic
party alive is to make them think
we are really for silver, which we
can do on the plan suggested by
Mr. Sherman. The plan suits me
exactly. Carry out that program
Yoorhees Dem. I have always
been profoundly impressed with the
wisdom and patriotism which has
developed in these joint caucuses
xney renect tne essence or good
sense and statesmanship of both o
our parties. And their combined is
the highest wisdom which the repub
lic or any other country on tar h
can produce. I am so. thoroughly
convinced that the Senator from
Ohio is sincere in all he says and
that he speaks the truth on all oc
casions, that I can without hesita
tion indorse anything he may saj- in
advance. I have equal confidence
in my own associates on the com
mittee and I am delighted that they
follow the wise counsel of the great
Senator from the State adjoining
my own. I have found it during
my entire political life to be advan
tageous, proper, and wise to be for
every sound principle. 1 am for
the single gold standard and I am
for the free coinage of silver. I am
for a high tariff and I am for a low
tariff. 1 am for tree trade and 1 am
tor protection, but 1 only use one
of these principles at a time
Allison !KepJ I would have made
some suggestions earlier in the de
bate but my sentiments were so well
expressed by all of you that it seem
ed unnecessary to say anything. I
am a bimetalhst and for the free
coinage of silver whenever Great
Britain says the word. 1 am apprehen
sive, however, that it would be un
pleasant to Wall street tor me, un
der present circumstances, to vote for
tree coinage or any bill presented,
but I can see the great propriety in
having a bill upon which a tree coin
age amendment can be placed and
voted for and against without offend
ing any body, that is, those wfco
have been in the habit of voting that
way. As for the tariff issue, I have
always been in tavor ot that issue
and I have judiciously balanced on
that issue to the entire satisfaction
of the people of Iowa. 1 hnd no
difficulty in adapting my courso as
to what free traders there are in my
State and those who are protection
ists. They understand me. I har
monize these matters and that is the
way to do. Now with the tarilr is
sue in the next campaign as tne par
amount issue we can sort of bar mo
nize all our silver friends and pro
tectum inenos m our party, ana you South will not onlv b.e 8 8kifal

In North Carolina a very large
per cent, of the millhelp are native
North Carolinians, and those who ar?
not, are from the North and not for

part of the sturdy Scotch-Irish stock.
This class of people, while opposed
to the lite war, billowed every hard

the same spirit that made them, ao
easily disciplined and managed, and
yet so loyal and true then, when they
were tried with tire, will make them
eventually the very best operative

conservative, and not spoiled by
contact with anarchist or in fact
any kind of agitators. They have
the great adv&uttee of inheriting
sound, healthy bodies, not weakened
by dissipation, aud while it i a fact
that they are slow, owing to climatic
intiuence and early training in farm
hie, it should not b mistaken for
laziness. They take a gait that lone
experience has taught them they
can maintain. It is not always the
whooping, bustling, showing-ofl

cause of just such betrayals of trust,

Mr. Morgan addressed the benate,
favoring the free coinage of silver.
(Morgan is one of those Democrats
who profess to favor free coinage,
but doesn't want it if the Democratic
party can't give it.) His speech,
therefore, while containing some
stiong facts, is not the speech oi a
man who puts principle aoove party.

It is not generally known that all
the minor coins of base metal, snoh I
as pennies and nickels, are made at
the Philadelphia mint, and that
nearly 100,000,000 pennies are coined
there every year. This large num
ber is occasioned by the fact that
thousands of pennies are loit annu
ally, and the government has some
difficulty in maintaining a supply.
The profit of the government on
their manufacture is large. The
blanks for making them are pur
chased for $1 a thousand from a
Cincinnati firm that produces them
by contract. Blanks for nickels are
obtained in the same way, costing

THINKS THE MILLENNIUM AT HAND.
Rev. Dr. Wharton Sees a Sign of Christ's
Coming in the War Scare.
Baltimore, Jan. ,12. The Rev.
Dr. H. M. Wharton, prominent as an
evangelist, thinks the millennium is
close at hand. In his sermon to-day
on, "The War Clouds and What
They Mean," he said in part:
"Christ is coming again. It will
be a personal coming. He came first
as prophet and priest He will come
again as king at the resurrection.
He will call the righteous dead from
their graves, and the righteous still
alive will be called together. I be-
leve that the Christian men and
women will disappear suddenly from
the streets, and the world will know
nothing about it, Men will go on
with business as before.
"I cannot prophesy as to the time
of His coming, but according to my
belief, it looks as if this is just about
the time. Look at the signs. The
Gospel has been preaehed to all na
tions; there is a general falling away
among Christians from the faith;
there is great suffering, a martyr
dom such as the world never saw,
for Christ's sake; great earthquakes,
and war clouds, and war talk more
portentous than ever before.
"These facts are signs which por
tend the coming of the King."
THE PLUCKY CUBANS.
The Are Still Fishtinu for Freedom And

The Cuban insurgents have been,
metaphorically speaking, dancing a
war-dance all about Havana, burning
sugar-caue, interrupting commerce,
and defying the 30,000 Spanish soldiers
thereabouts, who seem powerless to
check them or catch tnem. It has been
a distinct and inexplicable triumpl
for the insurgents to have been able to
make such a demonstration, and the
Spaniards, in addition to declaring
martial law for all of the island not
before placed under it, have been fren

Decreased Construction of Railroads.
Statistics furnished from official
sources show that only 1,782 miles of
new railroad were built in the United
States during 1895. This is the lowest
point reached in any of the last 23
years, and only twice since 1863 has so
small a mileage been constructed,
while tne total is about 100 miles in ex
cess of the record of ISae. The rail
roads of the United States aggregate a
little over 181,000 miles at tbe close or
1893. The railroads, in both traffic and
construction, always accurately indi

dition of the country.
