We call the attention of the peo ple of the State to the fact that some mytier ious power has prevented an investigation through the proper legal channels, of the transaction, which was so universally con demned by the press of the titate and all classes of our citizens, when it first became known. We therefore demand that the next General Assembly fully investigate this transaction, and to the end that the interest of the tttate may be fully protected as far as it can be done, such legislative action shall be taken as to counteract, as far as possible, this unwise and secret trans action.

The man who constantly . abases another se eratly admires him. Abuse is the offspring of enmity, or of envy. We do not abase those who are not in oar way.

GENERAL PROPOSITIONS. 1. We demand the election of President and Vice-President and United States Sena tors by a direct vote ot the people. 2. We tender to the patriotic people of Cuba our deepest sympathy in their heroic struggle for political freedom aud indepen dence, and we believe the time has come when the united States, th .treat Republic of the world, should recouize that Cuba is and of right ought to be a free and inde pendent State. 3. We favor home rule in the Territories and the District of Columbia, and the earl) admission of Territories as tit.ti. .-. 4. All public salar.es should ' made to correspond to the pru of labui ud its products. 5. In times of treat industrial depression. idle labor should be employed on public worxs as iar as practicable. o. The arbitrary course ot the courts in assuming to imprison citizens for indirect contempt and ruling by injunction, should be prevented by proper legislation. 7 . w e favor lust pensions ior our disabled Union soldiers. 8. Believing that the election franchise and untrammeled ballot are essential to a fovernment of, for, and by the people, the 'eoples Party condemns the wholesale sys tem oi aisirancnisement adopted in some States as un-Republican and un-Democratic, and we declare it to be the duty of the sev eral State legislatures to take such action as will secure a full, free and fair ballot and an honast count. 9. While the foregoing propositions con stitute the platform upon which our party stands and for the vindication of which its organization will maintain, we recognize that the great and pressing issue oi the peuuiiiK caiupaigu upun which ine present Presidential election will turn is the finan cial question, and upon this great and spe- cinc issue between tne parties, we cordially invite the aid and co-operation of all organ izations and citizens agreeing with us upon this vital Question resentment or disdain; for it well knows that, whoa it is no longer abased, it will be no longer vital. SUCCESSFUL PHYSICIANS. We heartily recommend Dr. Hatha way & Co , of 22 South Broad St. At lanta, Us,, as being perfectly reliable and remarkably successful in the treat ment of chronic diseases of men and women. They cure where others fail. Our readers if in need of medical help should certainly write these eminent doctors and you will receive a free and expert opinion of your case by return mail without cost; this certainly is the right way to do business. They Write them to Lying for Political Capital. The Wilmington New Era.

Now will some of these (me too) sheets be manly enough to admit that it was only political capital that they were after, and their idea was that if they could destroy Sena, tor Butler's influence that the Kan-som-Poa and the goldbug and rail road combine would nave an easy walk-over in the next election.

We recognize that through the connivance of the present and preceding administra tions, the country has reached a crisis in its National uie as predicted in our declaration four years ago, and that prompt and patri otic action is the Buoreme duty of the hour We realize that while we have political inde pendence our financial and industrial inde pendence is yet to be attained by restoring to our countrv the constitutional control and exercise of the functions necessary to a people's government, which functions have been basely surrendered by our public -servants to corporate monopolies. The influ ence of European money changers has been more potent in shaping legislation than the voice of the merican eople.

We advocate such legislation as will in sure a just listing and taxation ol ail evidences of debt, and make an equitable au j etment of the burden of taxation be tween the debtor and a creditor. REDUCTION OF SALARIES.

We denounce the sale of bonds and the increase of the public interest-bearing bond debt made by. the present administration as unnecessary and without authority of law and that no more bonds be issued except by specific act of Congress. 6. We demand such legal legislation as PEOPLES PARTY. STATU PLATFORM. The Peoples Party platform of North Car olina, in convention assembled at Raleigh, on the 13th day of August, 1896, hereby re affirms its unqualified allegiance to the prin ciples of the party, and hereby approves the piatiorm oi tne reopies rarty adopted at its National convention held in the city ot St. Louis, J uly 22, 188G. THI ELECTION LAW. We hereby reaffirm our fixed determina tion to support and maintain a free ballot and a fair count in all elections held in North Carolina; and the election law passed by the General Assembly of 1895 meets our hearty endorsement and approval; and we hereby pledge the Peoples Party to the pol icv of upholding the principle of fran and honest elections provided for in said election law, and warn the voters of the State azainst the threats which have been made to repeal the same. COUNTY GOVERNMENT. The act of the last General Assembly re storing the right of local self-government by the election of their county commission ers and justices of the peace by the vote of the people in the respective counties, and safe-guaids therein provided, meets with our hearty approval, and we pledge the Peoples Party to the continued suppoit and mainte nance of that legislation, and warn the voters of the necessity of preventing injur ious changes in that act, and of the danger of electing members of the General Assem sembly hostile thereto. LEGAL TENDER MONEY. We favor the exercise by the State of North Carolina of the reserved constitution al power to make all geld and silver coins of the United States (including the trade dol lar j a legal tender for the payment of debts, and that this right be inf orced by the pass age of an appropriate act by the General Assembly. GOLD NOTES AND MORTGAGES. ' We believe that all money demands should be payable m the lawful money of the Uni ted Statei without preference or discrimina tion, and therefore favor the passage by the General Assembly of a law to prohibit the taking or giving of gold notes, bonds and mortgages in this State, and the making of all money demands solvable in any kind of lawful money of the United States. INTEREST. We pledge ourselves to maintain the six percent, interest law enacted by the last General Assembly. PUBLIC SCHOOLS. The action of the Peoples Party members of the last General Assembly has demon strated, beyond question, that the Peoples Party has been true to its antecedent plat form declarations in favor of public educa tion. We demand still further improving and broadening the public school system of the State as rapidly as a proper regard for the interests of the tax payers and the re sources of the State will permit. We also favor such revision of our present school system as may increase the efficiency of our public schools and insure the most compe tent and effective supervision. We think that the committee on education of the next General Assembly should invite and secure, as far as possible, the co-operation of the leading teachers and educators of the State in framing and perfecting the school law. JUDICIARY. Our judiciary should be lifted above the plane of partisan politics. REFORMATORY FOR YOUNG CRIMINALS. We favor the establishment of a State in stitution for the reformation of young criminals. IF YOU ARE NOT A Subscriber TO THE CAUCASIAN, NOW IS THE TIME TO SIJBSOEIBE Price SI per year.
