DEMOCRATIC ADDKEV
Isaaed
by the Committee to Xnrth
Carolina Democmls.
At a recent conference of the
Executive Committee of the Dem
ocratic party, trhich was attended
by many of the leading sections
of the State, and in which our
present political condition as a
party was discussed in a spirit of
forbearance and conciliation, it
was deemed wise to issue an ad
dress to the friends and adherents
of the party, urging-that the same
spirit shall enter into and control
alT our discussions and actions
preparatory to and during the
graat struggle of 1892.
At this conference the tinder
signea were eieciea to prepare
and issue the address, and we
were especially enjoined to voice,
as nearly as possible, the Spirit of
harmony and unity and loyalty
to tne .Democratic party which
characterized the conference.
T . 1
xi muBi oe apparent to any
tuougntiul observer that there is
a general depression in agricul
ture and a consequent feeling of
dissatisfaction and unrest among
those engaged in that pursuit,
cnougn ine niters ox tne soil are
not the only ones who are suffer
ing from this general depression.
rr, t t m
inis want oi prosperity among
the farmers has seriously affected
the great mass ot those engaged
in other vocations ; in fact but few
have escaped its baleful influence.
Then we are common sufferers
from a common cause. If this
be true, can there be any reason
why we should not work together
to remove this cause, and drive
from power its author ?
The real author of the griev
ances of which the people so
justly complain, is the Republi
can party, . which has adminis
tered the t ederal government tor
the benefit of favored classes and
against the interest of the -toiling
masses of the American people.
And we appeal to our fellow citi
zens of all vocations to - stand
shoulder to shoulder in the fight
we must make against this great
adversary. .
In the dark days following 1868
and 1869, we stood together
against this same enemy in State
affairs, and we conquered. The
lessons then learned ..should not
be forgotten, and we expect them
tobt ar fruit in 1892, if we do not
mistake the temper and patriotism
of our people.
Let us not be guilty of the folly
of wasting our strength and divid
ing our forces in uncompromising,
acrimonious contention among
ourselves as to the best means of
accomplishing a deliverance sfrom
the evils which now environ us
and from the burdens which now
weigh us-down.
Among these evils and burdens
we will mention two about which
it seems to us we can all agree,
and from which we. cannot hope
to be delivered till we overthrow
the party which created them.
The first of these is the inadequate
supply of money in the country
and the want of a better system
for its distribution, so that it may
be procurable mpre easily and at
reasonable rate of inter? st ; and
and the other is the unjust
and burdensome systeni ot Tar
iff Taxation. The former we
regard as the chief cause of the
stagnation in business, and the
latter a powerful ally iu robbing
agriculture and labor ot just re
wards. That the supply of cur
rency is wholly un8uflicientforthe
business transactions of the coun
try needs no argument to prove.
It is, the experience not only of
the farmers, but of most men en
gaged in other business and pro
fessional pursuits. Now, add to
this, inadequacy of money supply
and its improper distribution,
the unequal and unnecessary bur
dens of Tariff Taxation, whose
cruel exactions have now realized
the wildest dreams of the mo t
exorbitant monopolist, and we
find a sufficient cause for the ' un
rest and disquiet existing among
our peopled We affirm that these
evils are the direct offspring of
Republican legislation. Other
causes of greater or less weight
may bo assigned for the present
depression in agriculture and
other pursuits ; but they, too, bo
far as their origin can be traced to
legislation, must be charged to the
same Republican party ; for there
has hot been an hour in the last
twenty-five yeirs when that party
did not' control one branch or
other of Congress or the Execu
tive and thus hold an effectual
check at all times upon the power
of the Democratic party to give
the people relief and redress by
repealing vicious legislation and
enacting remedial measures, so
that it cannot in fairness be said
that the Democratic party is re
sponsible for failing to do these
things. In our opinion the short
est practicable road to the redress
of the wrongs and evils which
oppress the country is through
the complete trumph of the
Democratic partv, which is the
party of the people, whose fun
damental principles are in har
mony with their interests,
,. ....
.. , ,
This committee, composed of
ten Democrats, five of whom be
long to the Alliance and five of
whom do not, but all speaking the
sentiment of the Democratic
party, sympathize with and unite
in ine strenuous demands of the
people, uttered through the
Farmers' Alliance, the various
industrial" organizations, and oth
erwise for such thorough reform
in the financial system as will
give to our people a sound cur
rency in sufficient abundance and
properly distributed, and relief
from the burdens of tariff taxa
tion. As to the particular methods
and plans by which these objects,
desired by all true Democrats,
are to be accomplished, it is but
natural that there should be hon
est differences of opinion. One
man may assign one cause for the
general stagnation in business
and suggest a remedy which he
believed to be a sovereign remedy.
Another man equally intelligent
and honest may differ with him as
to the real cause or the proper
remedy to be applied. It is man-'
uestly unjust to charge either of
those men with dishonesty or en
mity to reform where reform is
needed. Our friends must learn
to discuss all questions concern
ing these matters in a spirit of
of fairness, good will, and mutual
confidence and esteem, with the
party lines ; and when the time
for action comes unite upen such
men and such measures a3 seem
most likely to lead ua to victory
and to secure for the people such
wise and needful reform in our
national legislation as shall have
respect to the good of the whole
people and shall not be for the
benefit and enrichment of the
few. If we will remain united
and determined, we may dislodge
the Republican party from power
and in time workout these need
ful reforms, but if we divide up
among ourselves it can but re
sult in continuing- this party in
power and. thus perpetuating the
evils of which we now justly
complain.
The unity ot the Democratic
party in the whole country is es
sential also to prevent the enact
ment of the Force bill, which
would forever destroy the freedom
of elections, perpetuate the rule of
the Republican party and its
ytcious measures, which have so
oppressed the people, and ruin
especially the South. We have
reason to apprehend that this dan
gerous bill, which we all hoped
was dead, will be revived again
and enacted into a law, if, by our
diyi6ions, the Republican party
should obtain once more full con
trol of the law making power of
the Federal Government. Then,
too, we have so much at stake at
home in North Carolina.
From 1871 to 1891 our State
Legislation has br en wise and for
the besS interest of our people.
From 1876 to 1891 these wise laws
have been wisely administered.
and during all that period we
have had a clean, pure, progres
sive administration of our home af
fairs; and we do not hesitate to
say that the btate government
given us by the Democratic party is
as near perfect as human institu
tions can well be made. It would
be madness in us to divide up
among ourselves and by this di
vision turn our State government
over to the partv of 1868 and
1869: and we think to sow seeds of
discord and promote division in
the ranks of the Democrats of
North Carolina,-from whatever
motive, would imperil the best
interest of 'the State and should
be avoided by all true men.
In view of all these facts, and
of the far reaohing consequences
ot the great struggle of 1892, we
urge upon Democrats in every
section of the State and of every
shade of opinion to lay aside all
feelings of prejudice an.d diBtrust,
and to study and discuss every
proposition made for reform with
an earnest desire to secure the best.
Speaking by authority of the
State Executive Committe,we urge
all our people to refrain from
fault-finding; we condemn abuse
and vituperation in whatever
quarter, exhort all to practice a
prudent and rational forearance,
and commend to you the supreme
virtue of charity. Let us concede
to all, as we claim for all, the
Inalienable right of opinion.
The monopolists and their fos
ter father, the Republican party,
will not loosen the. fettera with
which they have bound us with
out a desperate struggle, and we
cannot-please them better than
to waste our energies in fighting
each other. Let" us so demean
ourselves how that we may be able
to present an unbroken front to
pur common enemy when the time
comes for action. Patriotism,
country andhome appeal to us
for harmony and premise the rich
reward ot unity.

A SoverelR-u Remedy.
Harper's Magazine.
A young physician commencing
practice had among his first pa
tients an uncommonly unclean
infant brought to his office in the
arms ot a mother whose face
showed the same abhorrence of
soap. Locking down upon the
child a moment, he soleuxnly re
marked : '
"It seems to be snffering from
hydropathic hydrophobia."
"Och, docther dear, is it as. bad
as that . cried the mother.
"That's a big sickness for such a
mite. Whatever shall I do for
the crathur."
"Wash its face, madam; the
disease will go off with the dirt."
"Wash its face wash its face,
indade!" exclaimed the matron,
lowing her temper. "What next,
I'd likH to know ?"
"Wash your own, madam wash
your own."
A Jew Libelled.
In the Supreme Court of Onon
doga County, New York, a suit
has been brought bv a Jewish
journal for libel. The plaintiff in
bis complaint alleges that in a re
cent isxue, the journal in question
spoke ot him as a Christian and
the accusation caused him to "lose
the respect, confidence, love, es
teem, and the patronage of his
brother Hebrews;" that he was
brought into "scandal, infamy,
and disgrace with and among his
neighbors to the extent of causing
it to be suspected and believed
by the said neighbors and citizens
that the plaintiff had been guilty
of the offence - herein mentioned,
to wit, of being a Christian," and
he claims compensation to the
amount of $2,500.

A FEW COLD FACTS.
Durham Olobe.
Newspaper men in country
towns always have plenty of mon
ey. This will be certified to by any
banker of respectable parents
within two hundred miles of the
print shop.
They pay their debts and never
expect people to pay what they
owe. At least the people believe
this.
A newspaper man is a fool if he;
does not know that Sally Brown'
is visiting Mrs. Smith, although
Sallie arrived on the midnight
train and had not eotten out of
bed before the newsDaner man
went to press.
A newspaper man who cannot
attend six public meetings at the
same time; go to three weddings
and be at all the receptions and
get a full list of the presents should
quit the business and go on the
road for a coffin factory.
I he Ulobe believes that a news
paper man who cannot anounce
the arrival of a child at his neigh
bor's and record his own death in
the Bame issue is not a proper
character to run at large, and the
chief of police should run him in.
A newspaper man who exrjects
a subscriber to pay what he justly
owes now and what he has owed
for five years past, is an anarchist
and some day the law abiding
delinquents will see the folly of
allowing him to try to starve in
their town.
Newspapers should always be
looked upon as a public nuisance
and the law should suppress them
when it is fully ascertained that
the delinquent subscriber? cannot
do so.
We have our opinion of a news
oaper man, and it is a violation of
no confidence to remark that it is
not flattery.
A Patient's Surprise.
Christian Herald.
A few. days ago a man present
ed himself at Bellevue Hospital
for treatment. He told the doc
tors he was suffering from rheu
matism in his leg and it had been
growing worse for three, weeks
past until he- was not able to
w!k. - Asked what made him
think it was rheumatism he said
he had described the pain to a
druggist, who without examining
the limb told him it was rheuma
tism and sold him some liniment
to rub it with. The Bellevue
doctors made an examination and
found that an abscess was form
ing in the leg. . They concluded
that it must arise from some for
eign substance, so they put the
patient under ether and cut into
it. They fonud a bent pin over
an inch long which the man mast
have swallowed at some time un- j
consciously and which must have
worked its own way from the
stomach into the limb. Had
they accepted the former diagnosis
and treated bimT for rheumatism
the consequence to the patient
might have beenserious.yetthe mar
himself had insisted that no op
eration was necessary and would
not believe it until the pin was
shown to him.

' Let s see if it will, and we will
take wheat as the first. As there
are so many objections to it as not
faying in this part of the country,
will give my experience with it
for the past four years and you
will see that my wheat has not
cost me over 40 cents per bushel,
except last year, when the bugs
eat it up, and 1 did not get over
five to the sowing of one. The
other two years were about on an
average with this year, which
give in full and let my brother
farmers calculate for themselves.
I sowed 4 bushels on land that
never Jmade over 10 bushels of
corn or 600 pounds of cotton per
acre, with more manure than 1
used on wheat, and made 16
bushels to thesowiDg of one. Now
here is the cost :

counting the improvement of my
land.
Where we make our wheat,
corn, meat and molasses, which
we can do if we will spend little
more time and money and not so
much for guano, and give it some
attention, and when this is done
we will not have any more talk of

A Reunion In an AlmsKonse.
A vow has been broken invol
untarily by a man and his wife in
Massachusetts. They were mar
ried nearly sixty years ago and
for some years lived happily to
gether in one of the towns in the
northern part of the State. But
trouble came; there were frequent
quarrels and at last in a moment
of nger, they separated, each
registering a solemn yow that
they would never live under the
same roof again. They went
their ways and for fifty year
they never saw each other. The
husband degenerated into an idle,
thriftless fellow and about tivo
years ago, at the age ot eighty-
five he was admitted into the coun
ty poor house. The wife didwell
for a time, but a long sickness ab
sorbed her savings, and she too,
being too old and infirm to sup
port herself, fell into extreme
poverty. She is seventy-eight
years of age and not likely to
live many months. It became
necessary that she should be
cared lor at the public expense,
and she has been taken to the same
poor-house in which her husband
is sheltered. Thus, 'in , spite of
their solemn vow, husband and
wife are living again under the
same roof. Doubtless they would
have kept up their separation to
the end if their poverty had not
brought them together again.

ABSOLUTELY PURE

FARM COLUMN.
FEEDIXG HENS FOR EGGS.
All farmers' wives are interest
ed more or less in eggs. In fact,
in very many sections they have
become - the money with which
numberless articles of household
consumption are bought. Those
who frequent country, village, and
town stores are often astonished
at the number brought to them in
a single day, running from one or
two to a market basket full. In
the past "they were unsalable,
save in a limited season of spring
or fall, and could be bought at low
prices, say 6 to 10 cents a dozen ;
now, with the improved facilities
for regular shipments, they bring
all the way from 12 to 25 cents
and sometimes more. Merchants
get daily returns from the cities,
and govern thir prices accordingly,
so that it is no unusual thing for
them to vary from 1 to 3 and
even 5 cents a dozen in a single
day. In places of two or three
stores they fluctuate more than
at single ones since their merch
ants manage to compare notes
and governlibemselves upon the
principle of trying to fleece their
customers alike. Now and then
they get caught and lose consid
erably. This is often the case
where one takes all that the others
get and becomes tho whole ship
per for the place.
Since eggs have become a
staple more attention has been
given to raising fowls that good
layers rather' than such as are
valuable for food. Hence we see
many hybrids, and some few of
pure stock. Most farmers being
without poultry yards do not
keep some of the best egglayers,
like the Leghorn because of their
rambling and scratching habits,
that makes them the pest ot the
garden, and destructive to field
crops near the house.
To the fo vls corn is generally
fed in the morning, sometimf-s
parched, and a supply of broken
or burnt oystershells kept accessi
ble. This is about all their food,
the dunghill? and the surrounding
grounds affording all the green
and animal food they get.
Cholera sometimes destroys
whole flocks, and it seems to make
little difference whether the fowls
roost out of doors in trees, or on
tences, in log houses or in com
fortable ones ; whether many are
huddled together in a roosting
place, or only a few. No breed
seems exempt.
Care for tha Reed.
Upon tho treatment of the seed
during the winter largely depends
the crop for next year. More
failures occur from seed not
germinating than from any other
cause. This would be but a
small matter, so far as the cost
of the seed is concerned,
but when seed fails to germinate,
and the ground is reseeded, there
is a loss of time iu the season of
growth. All seeds should be
kept dry, and it will pay to test
them before using.
Sins the Weed..
Every, weed pulled out of the
strawbeny beds will save labor in
the spring. It is well known that
the .strawberry beds can be made
to last a year or two longer than
the average il they can be kept
clear of weeds in the rows. This
is only to be accomplished by
hand weeding, and the time the
young plants are set out. Never
allow a single weed to grow.

Dear Silt I have beien using one of your

valid son, wlio has been afflicted with a pul

bave found great relief for him in the use of
tho Eloctropoise, when tho doctors had failed
to give hira any permanent relief, and 1 am
satisfied that but for its use we Khottld have
lost hiin. 1 have never seen it fail lo reduce

would not be without it for many times Its
