Let, Us Have Peace
i
We print on this page this week
extracts from papersconcerning the
President’s opposition to silver. We
god last week, t at Mr. Cleveland
h id cut loose from the Democratic
party, or if hadn’t it was lngh
tune the party was cutting loose
from him as an organization respon
sible fot bis official acts, just as the
Whig party left John Tyler severely
alone fifty years. We could furnish
one thousand ejx; racts like t he ones
in this issue thjafc have come under
our notice since last week, and in
"* f
every instanceJ the Republican pa
jrti'-s commend ami the Democratic
condemn, except a few papers pubf
lished in the large cities of the .North,
and East, who misrepresent demo
crat ic sen timed t and principles 1\W
w hat does this! mean. It means that
on the great, the overshadowing
question of financial reform, Mr
•f
Cleveland represents Che views of the
Republican pjarty and slaps the
pledges of the; Democratic party and
the prayers of j the Demucnuie lead
ers square in the lace. It i-c,hooves
alL honest reformers, all trm Demo
crats, bv whatever name they are
culled to get together and cease this
senseless, suicidal fight over men*
and ailigiuug| ourselves under the
broad principle < of the greatest good
to tlie greatest number, move on with
a’’esistiess front to .overthrow the
combined lories of plutociu 'v aijd
monopoly.
it can be done in .no other way.
No honest reformer will listen a min
ute to identifying himself with the
Republican party,' represented as it
is by Cleveland and .John Suerumln*
Men and brethren, a few politicians
two years ago drove us apart—amjne
of them are trying to keep us apart
today. Will wo continue to listen
to these polmoal sirens or snail ve
profit by the bitter education we have
had of how cruel it is for brethren
to dwell togetherm dis-uuion, while
the stranger sacks t he house and tjle
stroys tlie landmarks of our fathers.
Nineteen^ wentietke of t he people
bf Pitt county, at least, on ali imi«jor
tant political1 measure* are thinkijug
alike to-day
and are honestly desfir
ous of reform, not office. Let’s <|el*
egate Oov. jjarvis and 1.. A.^loye
to bring.; us together.

Tiie attempt is to be made to add
a free coinage amendment tb*the tar
iff bill, the House having faded to.
pass the lliaud bill over tile veto,
• but it is not yet certain that it will
be supported by ail of the Silver Sen-.,
ators. *JS'ouct- was given by fctena.ior
Quay when tpe tariff bill was first re
ported to the House of bis intention
to oiler a free coinage amendment to .
it when it got before the Senate, and
since tbe debate began in the Senate
Senator Alien, of Nebraska, bus in
troduced an amendment which low
ers the duties in tlie tariff bill and
provides for the free coinage of sil
ver.
.Nothing startling was expected
and nothing uf that nature lias hap
pened during the first week of the
tariff debate. The speeches are just
what ure expected ; tne same old .sto
ries on both sides that most iuttlli
gent men are familiar with. The
late of tiie bill is really in tne hands
of the eight or ten democrats who
are opposed to certain sections of it.
A bid allowing*greenbacks tone
taxed by municipalities is to be fa
| voraoly reported to the House, At
preSeut-greenbacks are exempt from
: taxation while coin is taxed,' and it
is stated by those who favor the bill
[ that although there are oniy $346,
| 000,000 of greenbacks in circulation
banks and individuals by trickery
! claim and obtain exemption every
year on $3,000,000,000. of greenbacks

the House wdl ask for a rt-nomina

not as democrats.
