Th.' Hriuocr;iti' convention of
Ohio has renominated (iov. Camp
bell. The nomination was easy on
lirst ballot. The friends of oppos
inir candidates gave in, save the
kickers from Cincinnati. It looks
like Campbell will have rouirli sail
ing. The Cincinnati follows that
fought him in the convention in a
bittei wav, will knife him at the
polls.
The convention decl.ucd for free
coinage.

But his case is not :;s contempti

and allows such feelings to cluster
around his acts ni dealing with the

what Tin: ?iovi.mi:m mi:is-
It is admitted by all hands, town
or county, that the givat movement
tin:
lat has swept out this country lor
the
two years just past, mis heeii one
of lnanitieent org-inizati'V.i. It was
rapid and eliVctive and it still goes
on.
The Alliance is peculiarly guilty
of doincr things, never before ac
complished. It has put men to
reading and thinking; it has made
the rural inhabitant to realize that
lie belongs to this great nation and
has as much right to examine us fa
bric as any man. It has brought ''.
per cent of them out of the conllned
let-her-go attitude he wants to
study the situation, the finances, the
legislation, lie now believes it's his
duty to study economic questions
and" to make himself a fit custodian
of the right and privilege i ntrusted
to lum by the government, of which
tha ConstitStion mak-s b in a part
;uid parcel.
In his study he may Income en
thusiastic, and as an enthusiast he
may err, but the fundamental prin
ciples of the reform movement are
truths, and, while these enthusiasts
mav wander off, tie; quiet, serene
and level head will guide the tide.
'Tis little short of a revolution,
begotten by the stern and rigid exis
tence of grinding and ruining ten
dencies. With cool heads, and perfect free
dom of opinion and in discussion,
there can be no serious results in
the end.

Koxboro Courier: We learn that
the new management of the Lynch
burg & Durham railroad have closed
up and dismissed the agents at four
depots in this and Durham counties,
as follows: Woodsdale, Helena,
Lyudover and Bahama. This w ill
bo quite a disadvantage to the pat
ronage of the road near these points,
and we hope it is only temporary
suspension.
Lexington Dispatch : A note, 510

Monday. It wa3 for $:,of,, and
was given on the P2lh of September,

Lowe, J. P. Stimpson, B. A. lioberts
and Alfred Uargrave, a committee
appointed by the board of county
commissioners for the purpose of
borowing money to aid and equip
the so'diors from Davidson county
and for supporting their families
when lueessary. The money was
borrowed from Mr. B. B. Roberts.
The commissioners refits' d to pay
the note on the ground that it was
unconstitutional, the money going

Till: Si ATIOXA I. 1!A'K1X LAW.
It is doubtful if one person in
every ten, even at this late day, un
derstands the enormity of this most
infamous, high-handed, premedita
ted robbery of the people, or what it
has cost the toiling millions in
money or muscle up to date.
The amount of actual cost which
can be figured direct, almost knocks
the bottom out of the multiplica
tion table and staggers belief, while
the indirect losses are far too great
for the average mind to grasp.
Let us turn this monster, this
modern .Juggernaut, over ami ex
amine his mechanism, see wherein
his strength for evil lies and whence
it came. It is geared to plow deep.
It was so designed. It has accom
plished what was intendel by Us
authors The enslavement of
American labor. It is the child of
avarice, conceived in sin and born
in iniquity.
B inkers regarded the greenback
as their enemy. From the stand
point of avarice it was. It cost Un
people no interest, could not he
cornered, was good anywhere, and
everywhere it went was sunshine
and gladness. Bankers look to the
people's misfortunes for their har
vests. They thrive on iiu.ividi
vidual or national calamity. Fi
nane'nl miasma they hail with de
light, rev. I in its slime.
'Bankers held a conference and
cleterm'ned that the greenback
should be destroyed, let it cost what
it would to do "it. Cold must be
made the standard, as gold was limi
ted, in quantity, was not then, never
had been, anil never would be in
the nands of the people. It vas a
creature the bankers could control,
and bv controlling it through it
they could control'all values, wreck
fortunes, destroy homes, blast hopes,
and force the bodies and souls of
millions of men and women on the
market to be knocked down to the
highest bidder.
All of which they have accom
plished Mep by step under the glare
of a victorious patriotism, hid from
the masses behind mountains of
political prejudice. This infamous
conspiracy was perfected, enacted
into law, and fastened its poisonous
fangs on the body politic, and still
lives to curse generations unborn.
Only a revolution, peaceable or
otherwise, will ever loosen its grasp.
Oh, what a crime !
The "excepticn clause' put in
the greenback was the banker's first
demand. It created an abnormal
demand for gold, and debased the
greenback until, compared with gold,
'thev wee worth only 40 cents on
the' dollar. That enabled the banks
to buy and hoard vast quantities of
them, which they did. Next they
demand-da law to enable them to
profit on said investment. They
got it, of course. Having invested
largely in greenbacks and Congress
men both, tluy were now masters of
the situation." The rest was easy.
Their next demand was that bonds
be issued in large quantities, draw
ing i) per cent, interest in gold,
payable in advance. This was done
and thev exchanged, and so, at one
jump, tV banker's 40 per cent,
greenback realized him H0 Cents,
equal to gold. The products of
labor went "tumbling in prices the
other way, in the same proportion.
One would think this was enough
to satisfy greed, but it wasn't. They
not only demanded that the govern
ment register and take care of their
bonds free of cost and exempt them
from all taxes, but that, in addition,
as the crowning act of infamy, it
allowed them to lank thereon, and,
cra.'.v as it now looks, it did just
that thing by furnishing them black
backs for "circulation as money
among the people at high rate of
interest, an amount up to within
ten per cent, face value of their
bonds, thus allowing them to ob
tain two interests on only one in
vestment. One of cents gold on
lUU cents bond ; the other 00 cents
currency returned to them by tin
go vermeil t on same bond. All the
capital invested in said 100 cents
was 4u cents originally paid for the
greenback.
By a system of short loans and
discounts, known to bankers, it is
safe to assume that on an average
the banks realized fully 1 cents
interest on the black-backs, donated
to them by the government. Add
to this the" 6 cents gold interest on
the bond, and we get 10.08 cents
per annum profit on an original in
vestment of only 40 cents paid for
greenbacks, being over 40 cents per
annum, by law, mind you. Under
this law, "about 4,000 banks were
organized with charters running for
twenty years. Figures grow tired
calculating the profits piled up by
these sharks. This whole business
from its conception, inception, on
through its various stages of de
ception, down to final culmination,
was little short of the rankest trea
son, and deserves the execration of
mankind. If only a mistake, it was
fearful ; if a crime, it was damnable.
Under Cleveland's administration
over x,0m of these banks were re
chartered. Xow, for convenience, take 100
as a basis for circulation, and we
will soon ascertain the banker's
profits growing oat of this villian
ous legislation.
1. For 100 in gold he obtains
."0 in greenbacks. 2. lie ex
changes the greenbacks for 250 in
interest- bearing bonds. His net
proiilsin this deal was only 210.
lie drew 15 gold interest each
year 21) years :00. 4. Black
backs received from United States
to bank on 22"i. 5. Twenty
years banking profit, say 12 cents
per annum on bonds present value
sTO. Total, i:U5. Deduct
from this, currency now returned,
black-b icks 225 ; ameunt to ex
pense charged- by United States
2.25 ; total, 22f.25. He laid down
100, and picked up 1,118.75. All
strictly according to law. Xow if
we ever did swear (but we don't),
we would say d n such a law.
But this is not all. Money gives
a fearful leverage in shaping human
affairs. Xow if said banker during
the time, foreclosed a few mortgages,
and bid in the property at half its
real value (whicn was often done)
then there is no estimating what ids
profits really were. But how did all
this affect farm interests 'i It
halved all values of farm products,
and practically doubled all indebted
ness, by contr'ction and getting the
money to pay with out of our reach,
so that today it is as hard for a
farmer to pay 100 of debt, under
national banks, as it was for him to
pay 100 during gnonbaek times.
All know this is true.
Tiie amount of the national bebt
has been about twice paid in interest.
The principal has been reduced
about one-half, even morel think.
And yet, it would require more farm
products at average prices to pay
the remainder, 'ban it would to have
p-iid it all when the debt was first
created. IMJently there was
method, on the part of our lawmaker.-:.
