, DE5IOCRATIC PRINCIPLES. :
"Equal and exact justice to all men
of whatever state or persuasion, religious
or political.",
' "The support of the State govero
.'ments in all their rights as the, most
competent administrators of oor. do
mestic concerns." In other words,
-home rule. '.
"Economy in the public-expenses
that labor may be lightly burdened."
"Encouragement of agriculture and
commerce its handmaid."
' 'Trial by juries, freedom of religion,
freedom of the press, freedom under
the protection Qf the habeas corpus."
The above were cardinal doctrines
taught by Thos. Jefferson. Hence he
was and is called "the father of the
Democratic party."
Andrew Jackson said, "Begard should
be had lor the rights of theseveral
States, taking care not to confound the
powers reserved to them with those con
ferred on the general government."
"In the adjustment of a tariff for
revenue he (Jackson) insisted that a
' spirit of equity, caution and compro
mise requires the, great interests of ag
riculture, manufjfctures and commerce
to be equally favored."
He advocated ' 'unfettered commerce,
free frcm restrictive tariff laws. He
opposed specific tarif f generally produced
by selfish motives; and never just and
equal." '
Tilden said : 'Every business, every
industrial interest, is parafyzed under
excessive taxation, false systems of
finance', extravagant cost of protection,
diminished ability to consume."
"Whoever obstructs the, means of
payment obstructs the' facilities of sak.
We. must no longer legislate against the
. want of humanity and the beneficence
of God."
He1 cautioned the people against -al
lowing intellect, training and virtue to
succumb to weaHH; against allowin
- "vulgar millionaires to grasp the highest
seats of honor nd power as they would
put a new emblazonment on their, car
rifrOb or a. traudv liverv on their
- "o . o -
servants." . . ;
"A protective tax, increased by profits
of successive intermediaries, blights hu
- man wellbeing at every step. When it
reaches the hapleBS child of toil who
. buys his bread by the single, loaf and
his fuel by the basket, it devours his
earnings and inflicts starvation."
To all the above teachings the Demo
era tic party of to-day stands pledged.
T these principles the Republican
nartv 13 and has been omxsed. Let
the peoule choose whom they will serve,
the Democratic or Republican parties.
: WHERH 19 THE REFORM T
The people all remember the great
cry of reform which was raised two
years ago.. The fusionista said they
were going to reform all branches of
government. Now what reforms did
they give us?
Is a negro magistrate for the people
of Cabarrus any reform ?
Are negro judges of election and ne
gro magistrates in Cabarrus any re
form? . .
Is-omendmg the election laws, so as
to permit imported negroes and minors
without limit to vote any reform?
Is electing incompetent judicial offi
cers any reform ?
Is passing a law making it possible
for the white, children of Concord to be
placed under the control of a negro
school commissioner any reform ?
Is an increase of taxes any reform ?
Although the property. valuation in
1804 in Cabarrus general was $220,500
less than in 1S95, the county tax rate
was increased over 6 per cent, is that
reform ?
It is well to remember also that the
general taxes were increased in spite of
the fact that a large special tax was col
lected f 50m lawyers, doctors, boaraine
houses, factories, drug stores, etc.
Will some of our Republican friends
how us where the reform comes in ?
NO STATE FUSION.
The fusion business has at last been
settled. : The Democratic committee in
its great desire to1 elect Bryan and save
the State from Russellism and negro
rule offered the Pojpulists fusion through
out. Fusion on the Bryan, ticket was
accepted; fusion on the State ticket was
rejected. The Democrats have done
everything that could be asked of them.
They offered to fuse so as to save the
State. ' Now the responsibility rests on
our Populist friends. If Russell should
be elected, and the heel 'tithe tyrant
shall be placed upon the good people of
v North Carolina, and negro rule shall
prevail in our midst, the blama cannot
be placed on the Democratic party.
We beg the honest white men of the
country, men who love their -country,
who' love their wives and childr , men
: who want, to do right, to calmly reflect
over the situation, throw aside those
prejudices and save the State.

LET BlcKINLEY MES READ THIS.
Last, week we published the fact that
the Central City Stove Works,of Newark,
O., had announced that in case Bryan
was, elected they would increase the pay
of their hands. Some of our anti-Bryan'
friends here callecT our attention to the
published fact that this company work
ed only 6 hands and had only $2,000
capital. Last Friday Mr. W. C. Cun
ningham, president of these works, pub
lished a letter giving his reasons for an
nouncing the advance in wages if Mr.
Bryan should be elected. In that letter
he states that his capacity is from 40 to
50 stoves per day. Eather a large num
ber of stoves for six men to make, don't
you think? Mr. Cunningham further
says: --'
"I have always been a Republican, and
have voted twice for McKinley. There
are twenty molders in our foundry wno
have always voted the Republican tick
et. This year we are for Bryan and the
restoration of silver.
"Our reason for offering to increase
wages in case Bryan wins is that we
know tbatythe success of our business
depends upon the prosperity of Ameri
ca, and that the prosperity of America
will only be brought about by the resto
ration of the silver dollar. . t J
"Priorf to 1873 the iron moldersof the
country 'received from 50 to 60 cents "on
board." This means that for every dol
lar earned they received from 50 to 60
cents additional. With the demonetiza
tion of silver canfe a fall in wages up to
1879, when molders received 25 cents
"off board," or only 75 cents for every
dollar earned.
"The Bland-Allison act so stimulated
business in the West that greater de
mand for the moldef's product inact
for all manufactured productswas
made". Business increased and wages
went up. . The Sherman purchasing act
had a similar effect, but its repeal
brought stagnation to the West and as a
result many orders for manufactuied
goods were countermanded. The Cen
tral City Stove Works felt the effects of
the repeal of this law and I know where
of I speak. .
"A higher tariff law than we now have
will' not, in my opinion, restore prosper
ity, but will result in breeding trusts.
The present tariff law, I believe, is suf-
Ificjently high to protect all. manufac
tures in this country and the only thing
yet needed to restore activity to bus
iness is the free coinage ' of both gold
and silver.
, "The Central City Stove Company,
wh'ose capacity is 40 to 50 stoves a day,
offers to advance its men's wages be
cause under fiee coinage increased
prosperity will enable us to do so. We
pay unin wages and all our stoves bear
union labels.
"Mr. McKinley says to open the mills
and close the mints, but I believe y
opening the mints the mills will open
themselves." 1
Mrs. Mary Ellen Lfease went last week
to call on Mr. McKinley. Sha asked
him a host of questions, as maybe sup
posed, but McKinley remained a sphinx

htical cowardice the age has knpwn.
took my departure from the McKinley
homestead feeling assured that if Wil
liam McKinley is elected he will simply
move and have his being under the di
rection of the men who are sending

boards." .
McKinley endorsed notes for $118,000
when he was worh only $'20,000. That's
worse than 53-cent dollars, isn't it?
An Appeal Made to Unite All Favoring Sil
ver and Retain White Snpremacj
in the Election.
Raleigh, N., C, October 16. The
Democratic State committee to-nisht
issued an address to North Carolina vo
ters. It savs:
"The party had no hesitation in fus
ing on the electoral ticket, and in order
that JtJryan a administration might not
fail for want of silver legislation, tiro-
posed to the Populists a united effort
lor Biiver congressmen in every district,
but the 1 opuli8ts declined the monosi-
tion which was made on August 13th
and insisted on, since more recently it
became apparent that the KeDubhcan
party was massing an enormous regis
tration of illegal voters, made possible
by an election law of boasted fairness,
but the provisions of which rJainlv ner-
mit fraud, as many of those who assist
ed in its enactment now plainly see.
"lhe colored race has drawn the
color line, and seeinsr the white nnl
divided on gold and silver, have formed
an unbroken Republican column, trust
ing the apparently divided white vote
will give them a dominant nositinn
North Carolinians must come together
to protect North Carolina. In this
cri8isthe Democratic partv realizes the
hopes of the people. - White men must
be asked to unite. This committee,
October 13th; frankly asked co-operation's.
This the Populist committee de
clined to do. In this effort the Demo
cratic committee felt that the heart of
the people was with it and cannot thinW
the action of the Populist committee
can express the wish of many of that
partywho honestly favor silver legisla
tion and good government. Offers to
the Populist party of fusion were made
because the Democratic party felt the
importance of uniting the whie people
of North Carolina for their common in
terests. - . ' .
"Haying failed in its efforts to unite
the parties favoring silver and white su
premacy, it now calls on the voters to
support the only ticket that offers a
hope of success against McKinlev and
Russell." "
Bentley's Strength Thrown to Bryan.
Rev. Charles E. Bentley the candi
date of the National Party (Prohibition
free silver), has withdrawn and taken
the stump for Bryan.
Mr. James H." Soathgate," of this
State, the candidate of the National
party for Vice President, is a great ad
mirer of Mr. Bryan's, and is now mak
ing speeches on prohibition and free
silver in Indiana and the other Middle
States. ;
A number of those who have hereto
fore voted the Prohibition ticket will
vote for Mr. Bryan, and this vote may
come to be a factor income of the
doubtful States.
Can the Feaple Be Bought ?
"McKinley will be the next Presi
dent. If we can't elect him one way,

CHAIRMAN JONES' APPEAL.
lie Warm the Working Mn Asamst Vot
ing at the Dictates of Their Em
plovers. -
Chicago, Oct. 19. The following ap
peal and warning addressed "To the
American People," -was given to the
Southern Associated Press tonight by
Chairman Jones, in behalf of the Demo
cratic committee .:'; -'-'-J-'
i In view of the fact that corporations,
with scarcely an exception, and many
of the largest employers' of labor in the
United States,, are engaged in a con
certed effort to coerce their , employes
into voting at the approaching election
against their own convictions, I deem
it my duty. to call upon all those who
believe in the supremacy of the law and
the untrammeled freedom of the indi
vidual in the right of exercising the
ballot to use their utmost effort to pre
vent the success of this most flagrant
act of lawlessness; for if this conspiracy
succeeds, government by corporations
will have succeeded' government by the
people. Corporations which thus ap
peal to force and fraud strike at the
very foundation of Republican govern
ment and all lovers of free institutions
must arouse themselves to save ; the
country from its great peril. Especially
should the workingmen assert their
manhood rights. If they vote their
convictions the Democratic ticket is
certain of election and in that case the
employing corporations will have no de
sire to embark upon a policy of pun
ishment. In the contest that is raging
the salvation of the workingman lies in
the assertion at the polls of his rights as
a free and independent citizen. The
prevention of .this suffrage will work its
own cure. An indignant people, jeal
ous of their rights, will demand that
the legislatures, State and national shall
proceed at orce, by rigorous measures,
to prevent the possibility of a repetition
of such hereafter. ' y
The committee, backed by the full
power of the Democratic organization
in every State, pledges itself that every
scoundrel, whether public officer or
private citizen,, who is detacted in any
violation of the law, shall be vigorously
prosecuted and sent to the penitentiary,
if possible. . James K. Jones,
Chairman Democratic National Com
mittee. The I'ost'i Latent Estimate-
The Washington Post, a very able in
dependent paper, two or three weeks ago
published a table giving an estimate on
the election. Since then, the Post says,
Mr. Bryan has gained, and last week
the paper published the following esti
mate :
Such seemed to us to be the situation
two or three weeks ago. Today we find
the outlook somewhat different.
Today
we should take California and Oregon
out cf the doubtful list and add them
to the States reasonably sure for Bryan
making the basis of his strength as fol
lows : -
Votes originally counted - - 143
California - - 9
Oregon - - -
Total - - . - - - 16
To McKinley's list we 6hould add
Wisconsin and Iowa, making the basis
of his strength :
Votes originally counted ' - 140
Wisconsin - - - 12
Iowa - - - 13
Total - - , - . JG5
The table of states likely to be won by
Bryan in the event of a genuine and
undiluted fusion we
make it as follows :
Kansas
Nebraska -
should amend to
- - 10
Indiana - - - - - 15
North Carolina - - - 11
Total - - - 44
Fusion appears to be the order of the
day in the four cases here specified, so
we should summarize the probable vote
as thing8tand now thus :
Bryan - - - - 205
McKinley - - - - '165
This reduces the vote of doubtfu
states from 102 to 77, as follows :
Illinois ----- 24
Maryland - - - . . g
Delaware -
West Virginia - - - - 6
Minnesota - - " - - 9
Michigan , - - - - 14
Kentucky - - ' - . 13
' Total - - - - 77
It will be seen that the chances we
mate have not increased the Bryan es
timate first given, while they have in
creased the McKinley estimate from 140
to 155. iiryan still has 19 votes to get
irom tne aoubttul states, but McKinlev
now has only 59, as against 84. oh the
hrst count, if Bryan can carry Ken
tucky and West Virginia, he will, with
thft nthpr status voa axia asaionnsl
be elected. If he can carrv Illinois or
Michigan and Maryland, he will be
elected. As we said" before, in connec
tion with our first survey of the field,
the chances all seem to favor McKinley
m the doubtful states. But this is a
campaign quite without precedent. The
great forces are not 'easy of identifica
tion or estimate. And under such! cir
cumstances of uncertainty the vonnsr
man from Nebraska is dangerously near
the goal.
Bryan and Sewall Witt Carry New York.
New Yorx Journal, 18th.
"What is the outlook, in New Vnrt
State? Do yoU think-the sitnatinn a,.
rants the Democratic National Commit
tee in mating any special effort in vnnr
Stae, with a view to carry It ? Reports
are so conmcting, l want your best judg
ment on the subject." (Extract from a
letter sent by National Chairman James
K. Jones to Frank CamnbelL
of the National Committee from New
York.) :
"I regard the situation as rflmart.
ably encouraging. I can conceive of
no greater change in public sentiment
than has occurred in this State during
the last three weekd. The demands for
iterature exceed anything in the. Mot
of State politics. This; fact, -added to
the reports of lhe chairmen of the vari
ous county committees, and the reports
of the officers df the Bryan and Sewall
clubs, in which 150,000 voters are tn
be found, makes .me regard the ont lnVit
here as good as' that of many of Wes
tern States conceded to Brvan hv
publicans. My opinion, based on un
prejudiced reports, is that Bryan and
Sewall will carry New York." (Extract
of reply sent. Chairman Jones by . Na
tional Committeeman Frank Campbell.)
The chief hope the Republican Wo
had of carrying Indiana was that the
uerman democrats would desert Bryan.
The Hearld's Indianapolis correspondent
says there is no German defection,
and that calculations based on the revolt
of this race from their party in Indiana
are misleading, r .
In Cincinnati the betting is 10 to 7 in
favor of Bryan's carrying Kentucky.

The PopullsU Decline the Democratic
, Terms of Fusion.
Ralhigh, N. C, Oct 15. The Pop
ulist State committee was; in session all
last night and until noon to-day." It
not only rejected the Democratic prop
osition made Tuesday for State, con
gressional and legislative fusion, but it
declared all negotiations ended. This
afternoon Populist jChairman Aver sent
the Democratic chairman," Manly, the
following: -"Your proposition was laid
hefore the state executive (committee of
the People's party. I depire to assure
you that earnest and priotra'cted con
sideration was given to the proposition
of your central committee, and I am
instructed to transmit you'the following
reply: First When the proposition for
electoral co-operation wasj submitted td
our chairman by your committte, Au
gust 1, our committee submitted a
counter-proposition looking to a com
plete and compact union iof the silver
forces all along the line, but said propo
sitionjwas ignored by your committee.
Second Should such a co-operation as
is suggested and contemplated in your
proposition of October 13 he favorably,
considered by our committee at this
time, we are of the opinion that, owing
to the shorC time before the election,
satisfactory arrangements ahd alignment
could not be effected on either side, and
therefore would not receive! such hearty'
and loyal support as would make suc
cess an assured fact. Third We eni
tertain no hope of being able to make
you a proposition which would be ac
ceptable to you and at the same, time be
sustained by the full force jof both the
Democrats and People's party, but we
venture a suggestion here which, if
adopted by you, would "eliminate at
least one of .thefdangers which you de
clare is menacing the State, viz., tbe
election of the Republican nominee for
Governor This suggestion; is the vol
untary withdrawal of your nominee for
Governor and the concentration of the
Democratic forces oh- the nominee of
the People's party for Governor. W'
are encouraged to make this-suggestion
by the following declaration in the State
Democratic platform tf 1S96, to wit
We declare our belief that, the peace;
prosperity and happiness of the' people
of North Carolina depends on the defeat
of. the. Republican State ticket in. the
coming election.' "
Two members of tho Populist com'
'mittee dissen'ted and protested against
the action taken. They say they op
posed this absolute breaking off of ne
gotiations and desired to make a couny
ter-pronosition to the Democrats that
the latter should support Guthrie, the
populist nominee, for Governor. They
said that had the Pemocrats made
similar pioposition a month ago"
would have been accepted in some
nhape but that the Populists would not
have endorsed the Democratic nominee
for Governor. It is declared to-night
by many Democrats that their nominee
for Governor -will not withdraw. The
situation is unparalleled in North Caro

Henry George's Conservative Opinion on
tho Result of the Election.
October 18, 1896.
Editor Xew York Journal i ; '
I came back to isew York over more
than a third of the continent to register
my vote and to hear Governor Altgeld
make in Cooper Union the speech in
which he set forth what, in . my mind
18 the most important ' of the issues m
this campaign. V T
The question that greets me from the
lips of every friend 1 have yet mot, ana
the question repeated in all I have as
yet had an opportunity to glance at in
the pile of letters I found awaiting
me is:
"What do vou really think will be
the outcome of the election ?' '
Let me answer questioners and cor
respondents one and all, through the
medium of the Journal. My personal
opinion differs from that which has al
ready been expressed in the letters that
have recently been telegraphed by me
10 me journal irom me places wnere
they liave , been written'only in this:
I am somewhat more confident than
my letters to the Journal have shown
that Bryan 'will carry the States that
have been considered doubtful in the
central west, and will be elected to the
presidency. U
I have no ability to see in the- future
and am liable to all the mistakes of
judgment that beset man born of wo
man, but this is my opinion as to what
will be, formed after five weeks of as
diligent, cautious and dispassionate ef
fort as I am capable of .to discover the
trend.and strength of the tides of po
litical opinion now running in that part
of the country. . t
Ahi8 was not my nrst opinion on
the contrary, it at first seemed to me
that McKinley, not Bryan, would carry
the central west; but it is the matured
conviction with which I came ;back to
New York. And that the tide is daily
setting more strongly toward Bryan,
am convinced. Henry George.

Correspondence Charlotte Observer.
Raleigh, Oct. 15. Consul General
Jernigan, in a very interesting ; report
from Shanghai to the United btates
Department of the Interior, states that a
cottorr Beed'oil mill is being elected . in
Shanghai and that a second one will
shortly be built. The cotton mills now
being operated at that ' point number
four, employing 5,000 laborers, and fdur
additional mills are being - built,-j which
win employ an additional o,UUU. i When
it is considered that the pay of these
aborers is only about 10 cents per day.
it can be readly seen that the Chinese
materials my prove a formidable rival
to American or European looms. They
learn rapidly and are very skillful un
der the supervision of English or Amer
ican foremen. It will be many vears
hefore the native mills will be able to
report, if at all, but the manufacture of
these goods for native demand will
drive out foreign made materials For
America this is important, because the
exports to China nearly doubled ;them
selves during the past year, being for
896 766,000 pieces of sheetings and
do l.uuu pieces of drills. t
In Sir. Jernigan s opinion cotton cul
ture itself will very rapidly extend, be
ing stimulated by the demand r-for the
use of the seed for oil, etc. Tho labor
is extraordinarily cheap, and the area
suitable' for cotton culture is practically
without limit, and he thinks from 'bis
own knowledge of the necessary condi
tions lor. crowing cotton that the sou
and climate there are entirely suitable,
and in addition, much longer seasons
will enablo the plant to mature a larger
number of bolls. K. is. Battle..

its normal condition, hearing ' his
