All the People Heard Him Gladly Applauded Him Enthusiastically, and One Old Soldier Said He Would Get a Divorce From His Wife if She Were not a Vanee Man. 1 Raleigh State Chronicle.J We lay before our readers this morn ing, to the exclusion of editorial mat ter, the gist of the speech made by Senator Vance in Goldsboro, and spe cially reported ior the Chronicle. Our correspondent writes that all Friday evening and Saturday morning people were calling in crowds upon the Sena tor at his hotel, and no public man has ever received so many manifesta tions of confidence and affection as were extended to the Senator from all classes of citizens from all sections of Eastern Carolina. People from the country spent sev eral days in town for fear of missing him, and one old soldier stayed in Goldsboro three days for that purpose, ana aeciarea tnat he would stay a month if necessary. This old soldier declared that he would leave his wife if she were not a Vance man. THE SENATOR'S SPEECH. Introduced by Chas. B. Aycock, Esq., as "the greatest living North Carolinian," Senator Vance spoke in substance as follows: He began by stating that he was just from the conflict at Washington where he had been giving his best efforts to opposing the adoption of the iniqui tous tariff bill, and watching the legis lation and endeavoring to secure such as would not be unjust to our people. He complimented the people of the State on their adherence to the Demo cratic principles and urged upon them that pq consideration should divert them from their steady support of the Democratic party, which was the con servatism of their peace and safety. The safety and welfare of the South was identical with the triumph and permanence of Democratic principles. THE FORCE BILL. Sectional feeling has been revived in the North and the Force bill now pending in the Senate will surely pass unless the Democrats can ' prevent by dilatory motions. The Senator then went on to show how offensive the law could be made if the Force bill should pass; how that Republican supervisors would do all the registration of voters, count all the ballots, give certificates of elections, and be clothed with power to call in the army and navy of the United States to assist them in suppressing elections. "It is to this Godless crew that we are to look for honest govern ment and honest elections." FINANCIAL POLICY OF REPUBLICANS. That he had said bol lly among enemies of our section what he said to-day, that the financial policy as administered by the rabid Republican party is hostile to the interest of the masses, and in the interest of certain favored classes. Under this policy immense fortunes have been accumu lated and trusts have come up and reaped the fruit which, should have come to hopest labor. The agricujr tural and laboring classes have not held their own but have generally fol lowed behind, That party led to the demonetiza tion of silver, which was accomplished in 1873, partly by fraud and partly by intention. The legislation demon etizing silver was so concealed among the mass of laws in the Revised Stat utes that many members of Congress did not know that they voted for it and President Grant afterwards stated that he did not know that he approved it. So great was and is the power of the bond-holders that this fraud has never been wiped out and the statute repealed. The bill to remonetize sil uer, supported by him, was recently killed in the house through the efforts of Speaker Reedi and a substitute passed which leaves the quantity ot silver coined in the discretion of the Secretary of the Treasury who is under the influence of views which obtain in Wall street. THE TARIFF. The Senator discussed the tariff at considerable length, and showed that while factories, &c, received benefits from the tariff, the farmer received none, and paid all the profits that the manufacturers enjoyed. The Senator illustrated the way Republican Sena tors from farming States were helping the farmers down South. Senator Davis, of Minnesota, offered an amend ment to the tariff bill putting binding twine, made of jute, &c, on the free list. Every Democrat voted for it and it was adopted. Vance then offered an amendment putting jute bagging on the free list, and every Republican except one voted against it, Binding twine was used by the farmers of the West for binding wheat bagging was used at the South. The Senator thought some of the Western Republi can Senators were talking right on the tariff, but he found that they voted as they had always done, for high tariff, though they were apparently anxious about the farmers' movement in the West. When the Republican Senators voted against his amendment and de feated it, he told them that their acts : i 1 - . . . -1 - illustrated the difference between Dem- ocrats and Republicans, that Demo crats voted from principle: and Re publicans "played for all in sight." HOW THE TARIFF HURTS THE FARMER. The protective policy of tte Repub-1 Lean party was operating against the farmer. The manufacturers of glass were protected to such an extent that the duty on common glass was abso lutely more than prohibitory. A farmer selling his cotton in Liverpool and buying there common window glass would have to pay at the custom house in New. York as duty pn it $ 1.08 on every. $1.00 of glass which he should attempt to bring into the coun try. Every manufacturer protected by tariff levied tax on the former, whose products were not protected, and who was compelled to sell his cotton, corn and "wheat in Liverpool at prices fixed there in competition with the products of the world. THE FARMER PAYS A BONUS. If every man was benefitted by the tariff as much as he was taxed, no one would be benefitted and no one in jured, but that if any were benefitted by the tax it was the man who received it in 4 he shape of the increased price tof his product, and the man who bought the product was injured to that extent. The farmer must buy the product of the factories and pay to every mill owner a bonus, made neces sary by the tariff, while no tariff made anybody pay him any bonus upon anything which he raised. The Senator gave many instances of unjust discrimination in the tariff bill against the South. Among others that the MrKinley bill raised the tax on cotton ties from cents to Si.o. HE TELLS A JOKE. He said he felt so outraged at these discriminations that he could only illustrate his feelings by an inci dent. A farmer driving his cart ud a long hill with a load of turnips, the tail board fell out and he looked back and saw that his turnips was distrjb uted all along down the hill. A friend passing by asked why he didn't cuss, to which he replied that he couldn't do the subject justice, THE FARMERS HAVE TAKEN HIS ADVICE The Senator stated that for years he had called the attention of the farmers to tne tact that every other class was organized; the business men,. the rail roads, the great financiers, and that it was the duty of the farmers to organ ize in order to resist the encroach ments ot tne money kings, tic was glad they had taken his advice, and now according to some he was the first man that some of the members of this great organization would slaugh ter. DEMAGOGUES TRYING TO RUIN THE AL LIANCE. 1 tie Alliance should be careful to know their friends. Many dead-beats and sore heads and disappointed pol iticians would endeavor to join the Alliance and use it to further their selfish ends. If a man turns farmer to get office or joins the Alliance for that purpose, watch him. Do not let him become a leader or determine the policy of the organization. "Not every one that saith Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom." HJS POSITION. QN THE SUB-TREASIIRY PILL- He said that it would give him pleasure to state tnat ne naa Deen en dorsed by nearly every county conven tion that had been held. And yet he understood that there were some good and true mien who : believed, or who had been taught to believe, that he had been untrue to the interests of the farmers. For the information of that class of men, he would explain his position with reference to the bill known as the Sub-Treasury bill. He stated that he was asked to in troduce the Sub-Treasury bill, and consented to do so, stating at the time to those who made the request that be could, not promise tq sqpport it. The bill as presented to him, con tained a provision that the warehouse people should be elected by the peo ple, which was contrary to an express provision of the Constitution, and he struck that out and inserted in place of it a provision that they should be appointed, by the Secretary of the Treasury. After investigating the bill most carefully, and consulting the ablest constitutional lawyers of the Senate, he was convinced that the bill was unconstitutional, and that he could not support it. That he at once wrote his conclusion to Mr. Beddingfield, Secretary of the State Alliance. That the bill had not then been called up; that he had not been called upon to vote upon it; that at this time the bill was before the committee, and that he might have refrained from ex pressing the opinion upon it, but that was not his way of doing business, and he had no desire to conceal his opin ions when formed, from his people. That afterwards learning that this let ter to Mr. Beddingfield had not been made public, and receiving informa tion that numbers of the Alliancemen were under ihe impression that he was in favor of the bill, desiring . that there should be no mistake as to his position, he wrote the letter addressed to President Carr, in which he stated his views in reference to the bill. It has been charged and the charge has gone out among the people that he made the change . whereby warehouse Keepers were 10 De appointed instead of elected lor the purpose of rendering the measure unpopular. His reply to this was that it was not the truth, and the who1 te.nor J 5s Publk Ii,e was a contradiction of the charge. - 1 nat ne Denevea tne Dill was - un constitutional because inhere is no ex press power given in the constitution to the govornment ..to loan ' money ana none to wnicn tnat power was auxiliary. .That he had heard it said that the Government lent money to the Na tional banks, and if so, why could it not lend to individuals?. But the Government did not lend the money to the banks, but deposited it with them for its own convenience just as an individual deposited his private money in banks. The advocates of the Sub-Treasury bill alleged that the Government built warehouses for distillers in which they , j j 1- ...... couiu deposit nquors, and tnat it was as competent for the Government to build warehouses for farmers to deposit their products. This was a miscon ception of the facts. The Govern ment did not build anv warehouses for distillers to deposit their liquor in, bat that the distillers themselves built the warehouses and the Government . 1 1 f . 1 . iook cnarge 01 mem until tne revenue tax was paid. Here he referred to the statutes of the United States regulating the subject of bonded warehouses. That he believed the bill to be un constitutional because it proposed to lend money to a certain class of farm ers only ; that money was not to be lent to all the people, but to those farmers alone who raised cotton, corn, wheat, oats or tobacco. All farmers who raise other products are excluded from the benefits intended to be con fered by the bill, and no person could borrow money under its provisions, no matter what security he could offer, who was not a producer of the five fa vored crops. That he believed in the old Jack sonian doctrine ot "equal rights to all, special privileges to none," He said he would be ashamed to ask for one class of his people privi leges which could not be enjoyed by other classes. That the law ought to be impartial in its operations, and if the Government lent money to one class it ought to lend to every class; butthe Government was not and could not under the constitution be a lender of money to any class of its citizens. It was intended for far different pur poses, and could not be a banking business. As illustrating, the impracticability of the bill, he said that under the bill there could be only fourteen ware houses in the State, the provision be ing for the erection of warehouses in those counties only in which the an nual product should be $500,000. A QUESTION AND AN ANSWER. A gentleman here inquired of the Senator whether or not the bill could be so amended as to provide for the erection of warehouses in the counties where the annual product was only $100,000 and the Senator replied that such an amendment could be made. HIS DESIRE TQ SERVE THE PEQPLE. He further showed that the Gov ernment would be forced to meet all depreciations in the value of the pro duct deposited which exceed ao per cent., and how speculators knowing exactly the quantity of the different products deposited could corner the market and manipulate prices. He said that it had always been his desire and purpose to carry out the wishes of his people; that lie had al ways done so, and that, if this bill was constitutional he would vote for it what ever effect it might have. DIDN'T WANT THE DEVIL TO GET HIM. That the people of the State had made him a sentinel upon the watch- tower whose duty it was to warn them, and. that having warnet them, he should do their bidding. The ques tion of the practicability or impracti cability of any measure was their bus iness; its constitutionality was his bus iness. He had sworn to support the Constitution, and if he violated that oath the devil would get him, not them. THE NATIONAL BANK SYSTEM. Upon his position in reference to the National banks, he said that he wrote to Mr. Beddingfield in May last that he was not in favor of abolishing the National banks in the present fi nancial condition of the country. That this letter remained in Mr. Bed dingfield's hands until last week or the week before, when it was published in the Progressive Farmer, and it was then charged that he was in conflict with the platform adopted at the late State Convention, or the plank there in in reference to National banks, - VOTED AGAINST EXTENDING THE NA TIONAL BANK CHARTER. Then he proceeded to say he had been for years ardently opposed to the National Banking System; and that he vqted against extending the charter of the banks, or granting any favors to them which were calculated to perpet uate or increase their power. He stated that he had introduced a bill to repeal the tax of 10 per cent, on the circulation of State banks so thit State banks might issue currency to the people and breakup the monop oly which the National Banks now enjoy- What man in his senses would favor the abolition of National Banks before some other system of banks had been devised to take their place ? IMMEDIATE ABOLITION WOULD NOT DO . The country is full of debtors who, u the banks were compelled to close up their business, "in the present fi nancial condition of. the country,' would be utterly ruined. If the banks had to collect all - debts , due them, where would debtors obtain the money to pay their notes ? It could not be obtained, if nothing had been provided to take the place of the banks, and the property of thousands of unfortunate debtors would be sold under the ham mer at ruinous prices and bought by the speculators who happened to have ready cash. HE FAVORED STATE BANKS. He favored the establishment of State banks of issue, based upon sound principles of finance where all people could borrow money upon their prop erty, and he believed the repeal of the tax on State banks would be followed by good results in this direction. SQUARELY ON THE DEMOCRATIC PLAT FORM. What is needed is extension of the banking privileges to the people of the States. That his votes in Congress prove that he wanted more money given to the people this he tried to secure by voting for the free coinage of silver. He stated that he stood upon the State Democratic platform. SOME PERSONAL ALLUSIONS. The Senator hoped his hearers would excuse him for some reference to him self. He said thirty-six years ago he made his entry into public life as a member of the House of Commons from Bun combe county. Such a Legislature had never before or since assembled in North Carolina. It contained such names as Morehead, Graham, Gilmer, Fisher, Shipp, Winston, Ashe, Biggs, Cherry, Dortch and others, all of whom "have passed over the river and are resting under the shade of the trees." In 1858 he was elected member of Congress. Then he was a Union man and did all he could to keep his people out of the war, and that he stood for the Union as long as honor could permit, but when the people decided to go ou, he went with them. He felt, "whither thou coest, I will go; thy people shall be my people, ?nd thy God my God." That his course during the days of fire and darkness, when the clouds of war were over the land, was known to them, and it was known to him, never to be forgotten, how they had sus tained him, in the execution of the duties of the high office to which they had called him. He was the standard-bearer of the party in 1876, when the State was re deemed from Radical rule. In 1878 the people elected him to the Senate, and in 1886 he was re elected. He wanted to say that whether he had served the people ably was not for him to say, but he could say that he had served them faithfully and honestly. There had in all these years been no stain or scandal con nected with his name. That his relations with his people had been harmonious, and that there had never been any difference between them except upon the Sub-Treasury bill. AN APT AND HOMELY ILLSUTRATION. If a man had a horse which had served him faithfully for thirty-six years, and which had never kicked, balked, shied or run away, but was always ready and willing to go at the command of his master, but which on one occasion, after so long a service, shied at an object in the road and broke the buggy, would its owner get his gun apd shoot the faithful old horse? If so, fire away. He had done the best he could. That if they had a man who could serve them thirtysix years, honestly and faithfully and make no mistakes, bring him out and he would support him. God for bid that he should represent any one class. The best service of his life had been given to representing all the peo ple of North Carolina. A PLEA FOR HARMONY. All the people are so interwoven that what benefits one benefits all. That there was too much "smart Alecky" talk. Some people outside the Alliance say they won't vote for a candidate for the Legislature who will not pledge himself to vote for Vance; and some folks inside the Alliance say they won't vote for any candidate who does not pledge himself to vote for Vance and in pops a radical. LET DIRTY LINEN BE WASHED Oil THE BACK STEPS. . That if Democrats have auy dirty linen to wash, don't wash it on the front steps; the back yard is the place for that. STAND UP TO THE DEMOCRACY. Stand up to the Democracy. Forty thousand sub-treasury bills would not help them as much as a Democratic Senate and House. Then the laws hat oppress the people- can be re pealed then further oppression can be prevented. He begged them not to waste their strength fighting merchants, half starv ed lawyers and newspapers , that are not friendly. They were not their en- i em:es. "btand within the ranks, go j into the preimaries and win submit if you do not control." They were promoting their own ends when they help the Democratic party. He assured the farmers that he would do anything he could for them that did not conflict with his oath in office, and closed with hmdsome tribute to the Democrats of Wayne. At the close of his speech cheers went up from a thousand throats, and multitudes pressed forward to shake his hand. RMICAUSI EICORUTED. STINGING LETTER FROM EX-GOV ERNOR W. E. CAMERON. Congress and the Administration Witheringly Denounced Southern Republicans Can No Longer Affiliate itn the Party of Southern Hate. Petersburg, Vam Sept, 14. Ex uov. Cameron has published in the Index-Appeal the following letter to W. S. Dasheill of Richmond, Va, renouncing all allegience to the Republican paty: - TT.iM . "uiuu now any reply to your iavor 01 the 30th of August has been precluded by a painful illness, irom which I have partial relief. It wish, in response to had as yet only had been my your queries, to give not only my views as to the dutv of Southern men in the political crisis now rapidly culminating, but to set forth at length the reasons which form the basis of that concluson. As it is, ray physical condition prescribes the utmost brevity that is consistent with clearness, and I must postpone all argument as to the soundness of my opinion and the propriety my position to some more convenient season. I have been taught by fhe events of eighteen months past that men of our atecedents and convictions can no longer with self-respect lend our voices, our votes, or even the negative of support of silence to the Republican party as it is expounded to the organi zation in this State, or as it is admin istered by the present executive and leg lstaive departments of the United States Government. The Republican party preserves no longer the semblance of speaking for the entire country, but bases its claim to supremacy on sec tional interests, pure and simple. Not only so, but the directors of its policy have not hesitated in attainment , of their ends to prostitute the plighted faith of the party in sight of all the world, and to renounce in their con grcsionai enactments the promises soiemny made m the Chicago plat form. SELF-CONVICTED. They stand self-convicted, not only 01 laise pretense and punic faith, but of mathematical malignancy in seeking to retain power by reinvoking the war sentiment of the North and West, and by resurrecting all the stock phrases- of fanaticism and sctionalism, which could stir the South into resentment and retort. Their object was and is to force the fighting as between a solid North and a solid South, and at same time use the small contingent of Southern Republicans in Gongress to minimize the power of the South by such political abominations as the Lodge biill, and by so framing a tariff law (under pretext of protection to American labor and American pro ducts) as to increase every burden of the customs upon the weaker section, and v as to leave in force, in all its shameless inequalities, the revenue tax upon the tobacco of Virginia, Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Mis souri. Maryland, and Florida. WAR AGAINST SOUTHERN PROORESS. The utterances of McKinley on the floor of the House (he the patron of the Chicago platform, and the leader of the House of Representa tives, and the chairman of the com mittee which framed the Tariff bill) and the action of the Senate on Mon day in regard to the tobacco clause, constitute an open declaration of war against Southern development, and we must realize that this action, apart from its inherent injustice, is a delib. erate, wanton, and absolute falsifica tion of solemn promise given to the tobacco States by the National con vention. THE BLAIR BILL. The record on the Blair bill is no better, and the Tariff act, with its so- called revision and equulization of im port duties, bristles with discrimina tion against the South and those in dustries and products in which South ern Republicans have the same inter ests as Southern Democrats. THE LODGE BILL. The Lodge bill is mis-called the Force bill," because in operation it would be impossible of enforcement to the ends pretendedly sought. To enact it would be to paralyze the com mercial progress of the entire country and .to set back Southern develon. ment, in which Northern capital is largely engaged an half a centuiy. But the mam sufferer would be the ne gro, who by this vicious effort to neutral, ize inevitable conditions, would be de prived of all the safeguards which now surround him personally; and politi cally be would become the scape-goat in a local strife in which Lodge and Mr. Reed would have no con. eern and no influence. The pas sage of this act in law would be a pub lic calamity. Its passage by the ma jority of the House of Representatives fixed the responsibility on the Repub can party. The call for a halt by Senator Quay in the Senate only voices the protest 01 a irigntened financial and commer. cial North, and only proves that Mr, Viuay is only afraid to risk this cam paign on an issue wnicn one section would regard as a blnnder and the other a crime. HARRISON AS A SOUTH-HATER. 1 see no reason to believe that the President has not been in active sympathy with all that his party has done and left undone in Congress. His own performances, have ! not, however, been one whit in advance of the Legislative Department. He has done nothing South ot Mason and Dixon's line since his inauguration, except to recognize with reluctance that any such country existed. His own appointments, with just few enough honorable variations to prove a rule, have been of men not repre sentative of character, influence, or ca pacity. He has shown utter inaptitude to square his action with his utteran ces, his performances witu his crom- ises, his principles with his prejudices, or his status with his statute. He has been the instrument, willing or un willing, of the machine elements of his party, and for the want of bold and brave catholic action he has made himself responsible for the fact that in the North and West there is a divided Republican party and that in the South there is none worthy of the name. After less than two years of his administration Mr. Har rison has removed the last vestige with which we had hoped that the Republi can party, by fostering an American policy, by subordinating the past to the present, by equal consideration for all sections, by removal of unnecessary burdens of taxation might prove itsel the restorer of the Union as well as the preserver of Federal Government. ALL SOUTHERN REPUBLICANS CAN DO It is not worth while for one man or one thousand men, to seek to stay the current of partisanry which has swept Republicanism from its legiti mate moorings. But one thing remains in my judgment for us to do for men who recognize higher duty than that which can be expressed by a party name and that is to free ourselves rom all part and lot with a party which has no faith too sacred for vio lation and recognizes no pledge as too solemn to be broken. I cannot lend myself to the oppression of my people ; and if there is no political or ganization which meets the full meas ure of our approval, we can at least leave that which violates our every idea of right and sentiment. Not pre . . . suming 10 set up tor any other man, or set of men, a standard of duty, and willing to concede to every one else that freedom and thought of action I 1 1 a nave atways claimed ior myseit, my resolve, founded on a desire to be true to myself and my country, is to refuse all sympathy or co-operation with the Republican party in the cru sade against this section which it now espouses, and under the leadership to which it submits. Sincerely your friend, William E. Cameron. To W. C. Dashiell, Esq., Rich mond, Va. ABIDE IN ME. I know not if the moon will ever rise When my tired heart will rest at peace In Thee; When all the voices of the earth and skies. And all the musie of the murmuring sea Shall ever come to me As love's own melody. There have been moments as beautiful as day, When touched by silver light the con stant stars Have faded into Heaven's blue way. And, clothed with roseate light, the scars Ot sin and death and night Have changed to spotless white. So, so the magic of Thy kindly band Works wonders still in every land and sea, And cloud and wreck shall not forever stand Between my trust In Thy dear love and Thee : For e en through death I see Thy love's own destiny. All that the Father (rives will come to roe. What I have lost His angels still will find, An through the changes of life's stormy sea Love's bidden treasures round my tem ples bind ; Ho, so. abide in me. And I, for aye, in Thee. -W. II. Thorn.
