Jiut it can do little in that direction if too people themselves are incapa bl of realizing that they have a cause that needs helping. This Beems to be the case with many of them. Therefore they can't be help a- . . - eu or. themselves tho help must come from others. The Caucasian manp.gemeut ha been doing all it could h fiord to do in spreading what light it had ti vouchsafe those in darkness. But all that is little to wht might be done if those of our friends whosym pathise with our t Hurts would add a helping hand. At this time, especial ly, thin should be done. The paper can as well speak to fifty thousand as to eight. Aud never in the his tory of our tt Turin mov ement were the people so ready to hear as now. They at last begin to realize that eomethiug must be done, r.nd that soon, if they are to be saved. There fore, good friends, help us to carry to thm the gospel of Balvation. Let not theso words fall on deaf or listless ears. We hate to Lave to remind jou of this duty at all. Wt hate anything that appears liko beggitig especially for ourself. Tho atia of the paper is tho waking up of the people to a realizing sense of their condition that they may be inspired to do something toward the inauguration of better systems that will bring to tht m better results for their products aud labor. We don't want to keep this article landing, as an eyesore, either. Send us in a list of names, every one of you, and what assistance you can to send them the paper from now till November at least. Do this without any more reminder on our part. You are just as much interested in the good work a we are. You long for better conditions as ardently as we do. The better conditions wont come of themselves. There must be hard and incessant work to bring them in opposition to tho foes of jus'ice in our pathway. Send us along as many subscrip tions as possible to cover the time from now till November 7. To con vince you that we are not urging this for self-profit we name the cost at 110 cents per copy in clues of five. Can there be any easier, cheaper or mere effective method adopted of propagating our prin ciples! StLAH t Perhaps the most common qu? tim now a days is, "What's going to be doni?" The question, ct coarse, hns reference to future po litical developments. The "fnd for fusion" has niadj the question perti nent and prominent. Parties tLat are in disi-epute arc seeking to re store character and even existence by ffctine some connection with a party whose reputation and charac ter are strong enough to staid a lit tle pressure. Some months ago the Republican party made a proposition to divide equally the electoral ticket in the State with the Populists. The Pop ulism thought it prudent to decline this proposition because it might possibly lead them to the support of goldbugs, and this the Populists are pledged not to do. A pledge is a tarred thing and nothing btit tte I' RESERVATION OP LIP OR EXIST ENCE c&c b plead &i an excuse for breaking it. Even such a contin gency as that might be of inch a character or produce such results as would make the ex-jase a dis honorable one, but it is an extreme -as indeed in which either t. man or party could be reasonably etpect rn to exclaim, "Death preferable to retraction." Now, the Populists are pledged iot to support goldbngs directly or indirectly. Uat suppose the life the existence of the party ehould now depend on giving a goldbug some support. Would it be dishon orable to break that pledge in order to save the life of the partj? Is it hotter to submit to sodden death by reason of (-ticking to a pledge, than to temporarily break that pledge for the purpose ef prolonging a life that may he of immense benefit in the future? The Kfpublican Party has offered to divide electors in this State with tho Populists. The Republican Party is a gold fctandard party, yet it pro poses to irivo to a silver party five or six l;rvan and v auon electors in a co-operative plan. The Demo cratic party is professedly a silver party now. That party proposes to give to tho htrrling silver party five Mr) an and Watson electors in a co- opt rative plan. Actually, the pro position of a ioli staniari party to the Populists (the sterling silver party) is certainly as good and I'Elt- hai's rktteii than the proposition made by a party which makes loud professions in favor of silver!! Dt mocrats, had you thought of this before Dots it strike you with any force? Let it bo well noted too, that in this "fad for fusion," the Republi cans propose co operation "all down the line" thus assuring a vigorous life to the Populists, while the Dem ocrats stop short at the electoral fu sion; hope to make it a scheme for destroying tho Populists, and ignore a proposition from the Populists to co-operate "all down the line." Now, we declare wo feel no bitterness, cor do we intend to indulge in any harsh ness when we flatly say to our Demo cratic f riends that it is time for them to quit being such dad slammed fools as to think they are smart enough to fool a Populist. A "What's going to bo done?" Well, in the name of common sense, what ought to be done and what is it nat ural to do under the conditions out lined above? Let us suppose that Populists should decide to lice up with the Kepublicans. ut course Democrats would 0 into hysterics, talk about supporting goldbugs, in consistency and all sorts of other things. But what, in God's name, does a Populist care about anything Democrats may say about himl Nothing! Literally, unequivo notiiing!! cally and unqualifiedly Did you know that! Now, no Democratic newspaper or thunder-belcher need feel under any obligations to start a cry that tho Caucasian is advocating fusion with a goldbug party. He who docs it will be proven to be a lie in a short time. Wo are simply poiut iug out the fact that so far a better proposition has been made to the Populists (so far as political life is concerned) by a goldbug party, than has been made by a professedly sil ver (Democratic) party. The Popu lists have no idea of dying out and no Democratic party is going to kill them out. "What's going to be done?" Some thing has got to be done, and done quickly. The people are going to take some action, and when the peo ple decide to act enmasse, let that act be what it may, it is only a driv elling, screeching fool who will stand off and howl that they are breaking pledges and acting incon sistently. A people's movement crushes out the idiot who tries to got in its way. One more time we wish to say, not for spite, but because it is the truth, that the Democratic party has not now the confidenae of a majority of people in this State. If it wants that confidence, it must ro some thing to win it. Is the Democratic party willing to do that something? If so, let it be known and known quickly. We tell yoo emphatically that there is going to be a movement by the people. A party with a rec ord of disregarded and broken prom ises, with only more fromises as its claim to confidence, will scarcely be seen in the movement. It can be held in check for only a little while longer. Now Democrats, what hall that movement bef OH, GTJFF! GCFF! ! TT- , j. enrw not going to throw any rocks, aud we do not wish to say anything harsh; but what can be the obj ect of onr esteemed contemporary, the News and Observer, in using four figures to express the crowds that go out to hear Cy. Watson" What's the use of continuing to try to misinform people that way? Private letters come to this of ficc aud we can carry any inquirer U another oflice and show him sim ilar letters saying that' the "crowds" which turn out hardly make an impression in the town nnn. ulation. Where thousands are report- j . , , , ,. eu i,w ue, uunoreas are nara to count, We don't care anythitg about it, but this is a year when facts ought to be adhered to; for an exaggera tion or a "ttloff' or a mi?tatemmt cannot be made without being found out. By the way, what a siJe-eplittiog, ridiculous "jilly" that was in a News and Observer headline1 the other day! It read to met hi eg like this: "Jazvis wipes up tho earth with Guthrie." Good gosh! Even the pigs granted at that. All sorts of people laid their fingers along side their ncse and hooted. It was the worst break of the campaign up to date. Everybody who read the paper wondered if the News and Observer really thought he or the was a fool. And they were dis gusted. No wonder! Again, what's the use of such guff as -hist It is out of date. The sup erannuated nerve and the old time gall that formerly made such drivel acceptable have been dismissed by the people. In a most friendly way, we suggest that its no good for our contemporary to make a tangled-leg-ejed fool of itself. And we hope for the sake of the paper's home town that it will not be guilty of such a thumpiDg "slip up" as this again. KOITOItlAti COMMENT, We notice that the Democratic .State press Jay great emphasis UDon "Cy" Watson as an enemy to the trunts, monopolies and corporations, and that if he is elected he will an nihilate and exterminate the last one of them during business in North Car olina. This certainly seems to us an admission on the part of Democrats that there are trusts and corporations existing in the State; this being so, we wish to ask : "Why is it tne pres ent administration does not wipe them out of existence;" especially do we di rect tins question to tne attorney gen eral now in oflice and who is before the people for re-election? How does he stand on this matter! Less than a year ago Democrats were ridiculing Populists and apply ing rh manner oi vile epithets with out ever stopping to consider whether Populists were right or wrong in the advocacy of their platform. They nave mysteriously ceased their uncomplemintary remarks regarding the damn fool idea of free silver. If they will investigate the whole plat form as carefully as they have silver, they may be inclined to steal the rest of the Peoples Party platform and then swell up like a toad and say "Look at us." Hon. Thos. E. Watson has resigned the position of editor of the Peoples Party paper, which he has so longr and ably filled. lie purposes devoting his entire time to the campaign. Mr. James L. Sibley will take up his edi torial work, and it will no doubt be well done. Mr. Watson, it is said, is preparing to tour the west. lie will speak at Dallas, Texa3, on the 7th of September, at which time a big labor meeting will be held. Texas is safe for IJryan and Watson. Say; next time the Pops nominate anybody, and the Democratic press begins to howl that he is a goldbug, are you going to believe it? You may have an opportunity to hear just such another howl from the Democratic press in a few days. But just remem oer next time, in spite of all the squawKing anu squalling you may near that the l ops most generally know what they are doing. And for a while the Democratic pa pers said that Dockery was a goldbug. Then they said he was going to vote lor jviciviniey and Watson. Umph! i ney win sun say anything 1 1 if they ever could learn, they would long since have come to the conclusion that Pops most generally know what they are doing. Pops are kinder built that way, you see. So the Democratic goldbug conven tion at Greensboro endorsed the Dem ocratic State tickt. Of course! A Democratic State ticket has always been good enough for goldbugs: and it is good enough yet. Say, pardner, haven t you got enough sense to see what it means? When a man like Dockery refuses to go with his party, isn't it about time for those who have blindly followed party to stop and think? Do they know what such a course as Col. Dockery nas taken means? uad they not bet ter halt till they find out? We have had an overproduction of almost everything else, with no relief in sight, and for the novelty of the thing, we would like to try an over production of money. It might have tne desired enort. The St. Louis Republic says there is some truth in the charge that Brvan is not as shrewd a business man as Mc Kinley. He has not been able to evade the payments of his debts. Two hours after Col. Dockery spoke a whole lot of "leading" McKinlev Re publicans were scurrying to Washing ton and New York to ask Mark Hanna what in the devil they should do row, THE PEOPLES PARTY THE IMP0R TANT FACTOR. Senator Butler, Chairman of The National Committee is Managing The Campaign WUely Washington Times Aug. 28.J It has been understood from the time that Senator Butler came out un equivocally, as h9 was expected to do, for Watson, and ignoring Sewall, that it was only a question of time when there would be some Greek fire, Ben gal lights, and live wires, which chair man Jones and Senator Faulkner would have to handle. On the eve of Senator Faulkner's re cent hurried trip to Chicago early this week a Times reporter called on him and asked him : "Suppose, as is now likely, Mr. Bry an and Mr. Watson be notified of their nomination by the Peoples Party, what will the Bryan managers do!" "Oh," said Mr. Faulkner, with his accustomed debonair disposition of futurities, "it will be time enough to cross that bridge when we come to it." The developments of yesterday indir cate that the Democratic party must soon 6et out in the direction of the bridge at least. It is very well understood at Demo cratic headquarters, or certainly in the big builuing in which the three parties are located, that the important division there is the Populist Party. More in this election depends on the movements of the Populists than those of the Chicago Democratic party, be cause it is only a matter of figures to show that in the West the Democratic party is practically a nonentity with out the Populists. Senator Butler, the astute and able chairman of the executive committee of the Populist party, is just now openly, and has been for some time understood to be the real power behind the Democratic chances of success. It has not been sufficiently prominent that when it came to matter of conference Chairman lilhhu11119 I latter exhilited no undue haste to see Mr. Jones. FIRST GUI! OF THE CAUPAIGH Fired at Wadesboro Last Satur dayBefore an Enthusiastic Audience. GUTHRIE AND DOCKERY. An Oration Extended the SpMirn-Earb ISmdm Speech That IVoa Both .4pUtM and Vote For The Peoples TartT Tb "Old War Hon of the Tea lift" 19 claraa Vor Bryan aad Wateoa. It was a large crowd that assembled n uadetboro on last Saturday to hear Hon. W. A. Guthrie and Hon. U. II. Dockery, the Peoples Party nomi nees for Governor and Lieutenant (Governor, speak. There was special interest in the meeting for more reas ons than one. First, it was known that there gen tlemen were the ablest and most elo quent speakers in the State, and that the combination would present some thing worth hearing. Second, it was known that Col. Dock ery would have something of special interest to say on the great- issue of the day. It was known that Col. Dock ery had been a life long Republican, and that he was the most influential member of that party in the State. It was further known that he had come to differ with his party on the finan cial question, and it has been hinted that he would break the connection he had held so many years as a member of that party not because he was leav ing the party, but because the party was leaving him and the principles for which lie had stood as a member of that party for so many years. Those who anticipated this latter course were not disappointed. Col. Dockery announced himself, in unequivocal terms as a "Free Silver Republican" declared he could not and would not support the gold standard platform advocated by McKinley and Hobart, but that he would support Bryan and w atson, the l'eoples J'arty nominees for President and vice-President, and advised and pleaded that his friends also support them for the good of the country. lhe crowd that beard the speeches was estimated at from 500 to 1,200. No body said less than 500. Many said 1200, and it is pretty certain that the number equalled 1,000. This throng. or the larger part of it stood before the platform occupied by the speakers for more than two hours. Few moved out of their tracks, and it might be said that not a word of either speech was lost. MAJOR GUTHRIE SPEAKS. We have not space to present the speeches in full. A running report is only presented here. Dr. A. A. Maynard introduced Mai. Guthrie, who came forward. He said : "Wadesboro is to-day like it was 28 years ago. I remember at that time cotton was 43 cents a pound ana tne tax on it was 3 cen's. At that time the laboring men and farmers were prosperous. W e were all prosper ous and thrifty then. All were able to employ lawyers, doctors and preachers, but now they are not. What has brought about this change? In those days I was a Republican and proud to be. Then the Republicans were in power and we had men like Grant. Where are they now? Over the river ! When that party fell into the hands of bad men I no longer followed it. In 1884 I was a Blaine elector in my district. And Blaine had a heart in him that made him a friend of the South as well as of the North. When he fell, ten years ago, I went out of politics. But two years ago, when I saw the change in politics and the country trampled by the Northern goldbugs, and that they were grinding down the poor of both the white aud colored races, I took the stump and tried to get the Populists and Republicans together. We got a welding heat on the boys. (Laughter.) You remember how the Democruts cussed the Populists years ago worse than they did the Republi cans in years past." As the speaker spoke the negroes stood around and said, "Yes." "I am not here to stir up strife. But I am sorry for the old line democrats mat l could go olr and crv with an old line Cleveland Democrat. iou don't care what a man was: but you want to know what he is now." (The crowd said, "That's right.") The speaker read the Stanley Mat thews resolutions, of 187S. lltiese resolutions constitute the strongest declaration in favor of the rree use ot gold and silver on record They were passed in both Houses of congress by an overwhelming raaiori ty the Republicans having control of the Senate and the Democrats the House, and have never been reoealed We will present them to our readers at an early day. "Matthews," said Major Guthrie, "was a Republican, No man ever questioned that he was a Republican lie introduced this resolution that stands to-day. No goldbugs ever have ineu to repeal it. Now listen. I will show you how the Democratic nartv and the Republican party stood on the silver question. Both parties then stood up to this resolution." Then the speaker proceeded to read the Mat thews resolution, declaring that silver suuuiu ue useu in paying nonas, secu rities, etc., and said that this resolu tion has been ignored for manv veara "Mr. Manning, in Cleveland's first ad ministration, is paid to have threaten ed to pay the government's obligations in silver, if the goldbuirs should trv tn draw the gold out of the treasury." ae tueii reierrea to the conditions of to-day and said : "Now you see what nas been done by both these old par- wca. iim a s wny tne 1'eopies jrarty was luruieu. inis resolution was passed is years ago and was favored by Democrats and Republicans." Then the speaker read what the State of Ohio, "McKinley's State," said of silver. It called for the restoration of suver. "What has become of the men m Ohio who instructed Matthews to vote for this resolution?" "Now they say that because I am for iree suver and belong to the Peoples Party that I have left the Republican party, wuy the party left me. It left me when it began to be an agent and accomplice of goldbugs and mo nopolists. I hold to the same nrin- ciples to-day I have always advocated, aim uite reiusea to go with a party when I knew it was going wrong. I cannot advocate that policy which ravors the classes. The goldbugs are grinding the poor white man and n- gro down, lower and lower, and for iour j ears past me Democratic party uas ueipeu to uo mis. What I want to do is to get the sil ver men together. You e-nlrthnp- TU Kinley men who think we are going to vote the electoral ticket for McKin ley are wrong.

It is like an old woman that prayed for bread, and the boys dropped her a cake down the chimney. As she saw them run off, she said: That is all right. The Lord sent it if the devil uiu unng it.' The nomination of iryan was me most sensible thing the Democratic party has done for years. Bryan is a good man. He was at the Memphis silver convention iaor - He was there working for silver. Like" vus x-opuiisc party, he was there work ing witn the ronuliats. TT ifnntin the White House, will stand by the people, I believe. He had the manli ness in 1893 to say that he would not vote for a goldbag if one was nomi nated. Now the Democrats owe it to c to take down Sevall and vote for Wattcn and be patriots. 1 care not what par l j gaxern, so it does for tbe people. Tbe people of the North, Ieaiocrat and Republican, have gotten our money and bow have u down. I don't car? what you rail me, 1 am co lor Vo go again thtt crowd. hat is the cieantc of free Mivrr?

Nj ongress is the only power tbst can roin it. It as intended thtt the Tinted State should establish a mint, and if a man found a mine he could go and have his gold, silver, or t opper coined and be charged eeinorage or toll for it. like going to mill with corn. There was to be no limit to it. That is what is mean: by free coinage. Dig it up and go get it coined?" Cries of "Yes, ye." I he Major here took out two silver dollars with a gold dollar in the mid dle, all three linked together. One was a trade dollar (40 grains), the other standard silver dollar (4121, grains). aud said he had bought the trade dollar for 50 cts., while the other biittr dollar with lea silver was worth as much a the gold dollar. The speaker explain ed the rea-oo ; because one was a le gal tender and the other was not. He gave the history of the trade dollar. and said that he remembered the time when it was worth f 1.25, the amount he had once given for a trade dollar. He said then- were T-7,iXH.',i.i(K i f ihese trade dollar., .. ...-i;;.1.;;ug. lit showed how llu gov erini.ent h:id is sued these trade dollars and how the bad passed from hand to hand as reg ular lawful, legal tender money. Bui after they had been :n circulation awhile, a law was passed by goldbugs, wmcn look away the legal tender val ue of these dollars, and they became worth only fifty cents. This dollar had more silver in it than the regular standard dollar, but the law said the standard dollar was worth more than the trade dollar, and because the law aid so, it was so. He then referred to a clause in the last national Republican platform, which said that since 18IH, "every dol had been as good as every other dol lar." "The lirpublicaii.i are trrina- tu fool and deceive the people." he taid. He proved this by thowing that the trade dollars he had in his po?oc8aioii were coined in li7S that Uj y vvert dollars one time, but tdat thrv wer not dollars now though tLe Jirinibli- can platform taid they were. "They say," he said "that every dollar is a good as every other dollar! Then why is this dollar not as good as any?" uoiuing up a iraue uollar.) Don't you see that the declaration .,f the Republican platform is false?" "lhe lighter coin can be bought far $l,and the trade dollar can be bought for 50 cents. Why this diirerenre? Because trade dollar is not now le gal tender. The government has re pudiated half of Us value. In 1S70 it was struck from power. Who was President then? A Republican. .John Sherman was Secretary ot ti e Treas ury. Before that lasi? 1 paid $1.2.-, f0r a trade dollar. 4 There can be no international agree ment. You men who are descendant of the men of Mecklenburg who de clared for freedom from England, de scendants of men who voted for Liu coln, to think t hat you must ask some foreign power to help us with our money coining! Now the old Repub lican party has gone and said we must join in with other nations for free sil ver. Shame! Did we have to ask them to let us declare for our inde pendence? We need more money. :Not till I can see as good with one eye as with two; work with one leg ai well as with two, will I agree that we do not need more. You understand. we want gold and silver. How much gold is there in this crowd? Any ol you got a $20 gold piece?

I will attend to Cy. I will meet him next week in the mountains and ask him a few questions. "Now, about Dan Russell. He is hiding out in the woods, asking you to vote for him.

When the Republican party was down, Russell was nominated for Su preme court juuge, ana would not ac cept the nomination, and besides he wrote a letter calling the negroes sav ages and saying they would -steal six days in the week and pray off their sins on the seventh. But we did suc ceed, and after we had whipped out the enemy Russell came to tbe legisla ture with a lot of bills and was the biggest bull in the pen. He wanted to run the whole thing. A few years ago he was for free silver and now he is for McKinley. lie would not help with fusion. He said it was all a farce. Major Guthrie said he was in this fight to stay, and that as far as he was concerned, the people should choose between him or Watson or Russell.

My of pur pose shone with force from the ft rung dettrnuned countenance of the ;i:am Oid Man of North 'arclina. The eyes of a thousand people riveted upon mm, anu me ino-t acute attention was in readiness lor what he had to say. He did not approach his audi ence in a round-about wav. I ike tfe man of invincible integrity and firmness of purpose that Le is, lie let the people understand his portion in he utterance of his first senter-re. He said : In pome essential features 1 like the Republican party, but the Repub licans are wrong this time, and I am NOT GOING Willi THEM IN THIS KLlf- TION." There was a perceptible .lio k in the audience, but there was no cessa tion of th;inost rapt attention. 1 wo years ago the Republicans of Richmond county adopted a resolution, one clause of which read ihis wav We, the Republicans of Richmond county dtclare for the free and un limited coinage of sil ver at the ratio oflUtol.' I went en to Raleigh and was chairman of thp State cenvntion there. 1 appointed a committee- on resolution), of which Loge Harris was 1. airman, and I told it to put in a free silver res-lni i.n, which was done and it wasadu;.ied by l he corvpntion. And to-day t!it Ji-publican in this Slate stand buir.d y that resolution. Not long since, I was a candidate for the Republic.-) noi.iiti.-uion for Governor on his state. The methods by which 1 was defeated constituted & swindle, which was perpetrated by D. L. Russell and his supporter?. Rut I am glad now that was done: for if I had been nominated th u I would have sent back (lie nomination toth party after McKinley was nominated on a goldbug platform on acccunt of his goldbug ideas. Russell and l'ritcbard arc coming out now for gold, though they were for silver, and Russell once for gret-n-backs. "I am not made out ot that kiud of dirt. They are in it for I he pie. I can get my pie mnde at liom. I am for free silver, and I am agaifist any party that is against fre- silver. I can't advise j ou to vofe for McKin'ey, because I don't thii k it's right; I know it's not right." The speaker eulogized Clay, and plead for protec tion of labor, though he was not as high a protective man as some. He would not today vote for the McKin ley bill, if he were in Congress. r was simply a tob thrown to the win-tic. He was in favor of n:oderalt protec tion that would not roll one part of the country for the bent-tit ot another. When this bill had first t.eeti passed, during his absence al.-. :ui, he t:au called his son and -aid, -Claude, look at it Claude, it is fatal f o : he Micctas of the Republican party 1" "The people want mere money, 'i'hty wane free eilvor. Lo?k at Rms-ell. Pritchard and the like, going over the State howiin-, for gold. I will not turn my back on those silver resolutions of two years ago. I am for silver f.nd against, any party that is not for it. I could not aivi-e anybody to do what I do not think is right. I do not think the gold h-and-ard is right and cannot advise jou to vote for it. We an living in perilous times; I never saw rnor nakedness; I never saw more cloth in factories that cannot be taker out for lack of money. The goldbugs say that the times are good, Snch men should be put in the asylum and the door locked with 10 keys. "I love the principles, geuerally, of the Republican party the principles that Clay handed down. The Repub lican party followed him and said 'that the laboring classes muH b protected. I believe in protection, but 1 would not vote for the M'.:Kinl..y bill now because that is protecting one sec.th ti against another. It would be fatai to th South. I am for reasonable iro tection."
