In Response to the Following Letter from Mr. Simmons, Senator Vance Issues the Ac companying Address to the People of North Carolina: Raleigh, N. C, August 10, '92. Hon. Z.B. Vance, Gombroon, N. C: My Dear Senator : In common with all the people of North Carolina, I greatly deplore your inability to take part in the pending campaign. It is an inestimable loss to the party and the people, for I need not tell you the confidence and affection which the people of North Carolina entertain for you would secure for you from them a healing such as they would accord to but few in the State. It occurs to me, while your health will not permit you to meet the peo ple face to face upon the stump, a letter from you, reviewing the whole situation, and discussing the ques j t'ons which are uppermost in the minds of the people, especially the causes ot the agricultural prostration now existing, and the relief which : woud be afforded through the enact ent ot such tariff and financia le8is,ation as the Democratic party proposes, would be carefully and con - siderately read by all the people of lNorlh Carolina and would do a great deal of Sood at this lime- buch a letter, I am persuaded, would have immense weight with a !arge ,numbcr of peoPle vvho are now honestly wavering as to what course to pursue in the coming election. Of course 1 do not want to overtax you, even 10 ao tnis great service to the party and the people. I trust you ...:ti . , 1 .. , 1 w"i nut unuenaice it unless your I health is lully equal to the task. j Sincerely joining with all the peo- ! pie ot North Carolina in their anxiety aDout your health, and in the earnest hope that you may be speedily re stored, I am, yours truly, F. M. Simmons, Chairman. My Fellow Citizens : For many years past I have been in the habit of visiting you in person during important campaigns and addressing you upon the political ssues of the time. Being on this occasion prevented this privilege by the condition of my health, and earnestly believing that the questions to be decided by our November elections are ot vital importance to the public welfare, I am induced to con tribute in this way my share in the discussion of them. I regard the situation as most critical. Since i860 the legislation of our country has been almost exclusively within the power ot one political party. Naturally it has ceased to be general in its beneficence and has become local and partial in the extreme. The law-making power has become the fearfully efficient implement of such classes, corporations, cliques and com binations as could by fair means or foul obtain control of it. It has been made to subserve purely personal ends. In divers ways the taxing power of the government has been perverted from public to private pur poses; money is levied thereby to cnricii manufacturers, to suppress rivalry in business, and in every con ceivable way to help the favored few at the expense of the many. The va ried corrupting influences upon the business world arising from this egislation produce their natural ef fect. The classes whose business was thus favored flourish apace, whilst the m favored have experienced in the midst of peace and plenty all the osses and hardships which are com--nonly felt only in times of public calamity; and the extraordinary spectacle is presented of a nation 'vhose aggregate wealth is rapidly and vastly increasing, whilst the individual n-ealth of its chief toilers and wealth producers is diminishing in proportion hereto. From the Republican party, with ts disregard ot the limitations of the Constitution and its natural depend ence for support upon the money ot he people whom it had enriched, all A this corrupt legislation has pro ceeded. Without it there was noth :ng evil done that was done. It follows as an undeniable truth, ;hat whoever directly or indirectly 1 pholds, helps or supports that party ;s a friend to the corruptions which it has produced, and is an enemy to those who would repeal that legisla lion and reform the abuses found upon it. There is no escape from this. The Democratic party, on the con trary, believes in the strict limita tions of the Constitution, and has, as u party, steadily opposed all abuse of the taxing power or any other power t f the general government for private purposes, and has unceasingly advo ated the most absolute and perfect equality of all citizens in the legisla tion of our country. There is not a single wrong or in justice of which complaint is made in our laws for thirty years past which can justly be charged to the Demo cratic party. Not one. It has been a break-water against the tyrannical tendencies of the Republicans; and though in a majority has been able to prevent 'jome of the worst legislation this statement of the acts and purposes of the two great political parties cannot be truthfully denied Now what is the situation? What is it the manifested duty of our peo- people to do in the coming elec tions? The two great political parties into which our people are mainly divided are once more in the field with their platforms of principles and their candidates, State and Federal, thereon. The Republicans profess all of their old doctrines from which come the evils of which the people complain; they glory in that abuse of the taxing power which has made a few rich and mil ions poor, and seeking new fields of injustice and oppression, they openly declare their intention to take from the States the right to control the election of their own representa tives, which is the chief bulwark of their rights and liberties. The Democrats re-affirm their ad herence to the Constitution, their op position to tariff robbery, to banking monopoly and to corporate oppression in all its torms; and their desire to leave the power to control elections where the Constitution left it, and where it has resided for more than one hundred years. Primarily it would seem that no Democrat, and especially no southern Democrat, could hesitate for a single moment as to which of these parties deserved his support. But a new party has arisen which is endeavoring to make the people believe that the Democratic party is no longer to be trusted. The argu ment to prove this is a travesty on common sense: That because for thirty years they have as a party steadily opposed all abuses and have not been able at any time to prevent or reform them, therefore it is no lon ger worthy ot support of those who desire reform. The meaning of this is, the Democratic party has been guilty of being in a minority. Its sin consists in not havine done that t which it could not do! Then let it be condemned, whilst the Republican party, which has had the power and actually did all these things, and still had the power to undo them and does not, is acquitted. Nay, we will help it to keep in power by betraying and destroying its only enemy. There fore, as the Democratic party, with its vast organization in. every State, county and township in the United States, with its control of one branch of Congress and comprising in the popular vote a large majority of all the people in the Union, has not been strong enough heretofore to effect the reforms for which it has labored and wished, being without the Senate and executive, they claim the only chance for reform is to vote for the candidates of this Third party, whose existence in the national government and power to control legislation are evidenced by three or four members of the House of Representatives and two in the Senate. Common sense and self-preservation would seem .to dictate that we should help the Democrats, who are almost in power, to get altogether in power, and trust them to correct abuses as thev have promised. One strong pull in Novemveber next would give them control of both branches of Congress and the executive, and the night of misrule and injustice would burst into the dawn of a new and better day. It would be time enough to leave them and form a new parly when they had been tried and proved faithless. But the leaders of this new party, falsely called the People's, insist that you snail abandon the Democratic party now and vote with them. I am grieved to know that there are quite a number of our fellow-citizens in North Carolina who propose to follow that advice. It strikes me as the very extreme of unwisdom; and when done with a full knowledge of the conse quences it ceases to be in them folly and becomes a crime. For whatever may be the hopes or the wishes of these men, they know as well as they know of their own existence, that this party has not only no chance of electing their candidates at the polls, but also none of throwing the election into the louse of Representatives, about which they appear to be most sanguine. Let no man be deceived about this. The handful of votes which will be cast for Weaver in this State, be it as large as the nostrils of justice and common they can earnestly claim, cannot wrest j sense. I can but believe the good the electoral vote from both Cleveland ! judgment of our farmers will enable and Harrison, so as to help throw the j them to see where these leaders are choice into the House. It is absured ; taking them, and that their native to . hope so. But thirty thousand honesty will impel them to draw back (30,000) votes taken from Cleveland j in time to save their country, and given to Weaver will throw the Many 01 rur people, it is true, have vote not indeed into a Democratic l objected to Mr. Cleveland, and pre House, but into the hands of Harrison, j ferred that he should not have been This result was so plain that the Re-! nominated. I confess that I was pulican leaders, notwithstanding their j among that number. But an individ professions to the contrary, deter-' ual preference before the nomination mined to not slip the opportunity, and of a candidate is one thing, and the they are now ready with full tickets j duty of a true man after that nomina and a complete organization to avail j tion has been fairly made is another themselves ot everything which the i and very different thing indeed. In dissension and folly ot our people may j the one case a preference may be in throw into their laps. Their promises j dulged in properly, without danger to to run no State ticket were manifestly j the principles we profess or the party made whith the intention of alluring a : which has those principles in charge; Thhd party ticket into the field, j in the other case we endanger both, trusting that when men get hot and I and falsify our pretensions, by contrib bad blood prevailed, they might walk luting undeniably to the success of off with the prize in both Stale and our adversaries. If we refuse to abide Federal elections. Alas' that want of i by the voice of the majority of our reflection or patriotism should render i fellow Democrats, freely and unmis this scheme a probable success. In-! takably expressed in friendly con ever attempted, and to modify other i vention, there is an end of all associ laws which in their original iniquity j ated party effort in the government of would have been intolerable. our country; if we personally partici- deed, it is so plain that no intelligent man can fail to see it or honest one deny it, that the only probable, not to say possible, result of the Third party movement in North Carolina this fall will be to elect a full Republican State ticket and to aid in the election of a Republican President and House of Representatives. What is to be gained by that result I need not ask. How the reforms which they profess to desire are to be obtained through Republican success is something which surpasses human conjecture. No true friend of this commonwealth, I am sure, will contribute to this result. It is reported that a prominent candidate on the ticket of the Third party says he had rather submit to negro or any kind of rule than such as we have at present; but I am forced to believe that, if this be true, there are very few other white men of North Carolina who are outside of the penitentiary and who ought to be outside, who enter tain sentiments so foul and brutal. Our people know that under Demo cratic rule they have had good laws, low taxes, economy, and purity in the administration of their affairs, and I hope and believe they will not lightly risk its overthrow by casting useless or hopeless votes in November. The class of our people who have had greatest cause to complain of vicious legislation is the agricultural. The party which has steadily resisted this, and continually declaimed against it on the hustings and have struggled manfully to repeal it in the halls of legislation, is the Democratic. You will bear me witness that unre mittingly since I have been your rep resentative in the Senate I have hoth spoken and voted against that unjust legislation. At home, as you know, I never ceased to expose its inequalities and to advise the farmers to organize for resistance to it. When they did begin to combine they had the sym pathy and good wishes of almost every just man in the United States who was not in some way the recipient of the plunder arising from this abuse. Never was there a political move ment of our people founded upon better grounds or more reasonable complaint. But that which I feared, and against which I earnestly warned them, soon came to pass. Men who had little interest in agriculture and much interest in their own fortunes, aspired to be its leaders. Often men who had failed to obtain office from either of the old political parties con cluded to farm the f cermets and raise personal crops of honor and profit out of them. They presed to the front, thrust the real farmers aside, and involved the Alliance in the wildest and most impracticable propositions ever heard of among sane men, and in defiance of their constitution soon converted it into a mere political party composed of the discontented and the disappointed elements of ft a society, professing no fixed political principles or regard for the Constitu tion of their country, but striving only to obtain the very worst of class legis lation which is their sole idea of states manship. Their proposition to pur chase and control all the lines of trans portation and telegraph in the Un:ted States at the expense of many billions of dollars, and of refunding for their payment, at least a billion more; of loaning people money on real estate at lower rates of interest than the market rates, and kindred schemes, are so preposterous, that to argue them seri ously is a slander upon our civilization; and the advocacy of such measures for the hitherto most conservative element of our society is a notification to all the world that we are approach ing that stage of demagogism and communism which mark a people as unfit for self-government. My unfaltering confidence is in the farmers of North Carolina, who as members of that Alliance will, I trust, not permit their noble Order and their just cause to be thus perverted and debased. Rest assured that no real friend of that noble class of men who, under the providence of God give us our daily bread, will ever consent to this degradation of their cause into the obsequious tool of uncrupulous, ambitious men, forfeiting the sympathy of all moderate people, and making the very name of Alliance to stink in pate in that consultation or conven tion and then refuse to abide by the decision of the tribunal of our own selection, then there is an end of all personal honor among men, and the confidence which is necessary to all combined effort is gone forever. The man who bets, proposing to collect if he wins and to repudiate if he loses, is in all countries and among all classes of people considered a dishonest man. But if the consideration of good faith do not influence men's actions in such a case as this, surely those which pertain to the public welfare I ought to be decisive. If not satisfied I with Mr. Cleveland, it seems to me an honest man should balance accounts, pro and con, in this way: Cleveland agrees with me in desiring to reform the oppressive tariff taxation, to restrict the abuse of corporate privileges, to repeal the tax on State banks and thereby to expand the currency, and above all he is vehemently opposed to Force bills and all similar attempts to destroy the rights and liberties of the States. In all essential reforms he agrees with me except in the single matter of the free coinage of silver, and in respect to this there is reason to hope that the same candor and vigorous investigation which brought him in full sympathy with his party on the great question of tariff reform will soon bring him to see the absolute necessity of maintaining both of the precious metals on a par to meet the urgent needs of the currency of the world. Harrison, on the contrary, agrees with me in nothing; there is no change or reform which I desire that he is not bitterly opposed to, and his party with him. Why, then, should I hesitate? Either my vote for Weaver will help Harrison and injure Cleve land, or it will not it cannot avail Weaver, for he has no chance whatever, will probably not carry a single State; why, then, should I risk doing a dam age to the candidate who would do most tor me, though he does not promise to do all, and contribute to the election of the one who promises me nothing but an indefinite continu ance of existing wrongs and an inso lent threat ot other and greater L wrongs so soon as he has the power to perpetrate them? It seems to me, fellow-citizens, that the path of duty was never more plain or the necessity of walking in it more imperative than it is at this moment. Let me beg your earnest consideration of the situation before you vote in November, and before you cut loose from the old contsitutional Demo cratic party, which in times of our extreme peril has so often brought us forth out of the house of bondage, and abandon its shining banners to follow reckless and incompetent men into the wilderness of their unreal schemes. Trunk well of the possible result of your action; how easy it is to destroy, how hard to rebuild. I recently cut down in my mountain home, in about five hours, a tree that had taken five hundred years to grow. The Democratic party is strong and able and willing to help you; its arm is not shortened that it cannot save you; to cherish and uphold it is the dictate of patriotism and common sense. Your fellow-citizen,' Z. B. Vance. Gombroon, Sept. 17, 1892. WE BUILD THE LADDER. Heaven is not readied at a single bound, But we build the ladder by which we rise From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies, ' And we mount the; summit round by round. I count this thing to be grandly true, That a noble deed is a step toward God, Lifting the soul from the common sod To a purer air and a broader view. We rise by the things that are under feet. By what we have mastered of greed and gain, By the pride deposed and the passion slain. And the vanquished ills that we hourly meet. We hope, we aspire, we resolve, we trust. When the morning calls us to life and liaht; But our hearts grow weary, and ere the , night Our lives are trailing the sordid dust. We hope, we aspire, we resolve, we pray, And we think that we mount the air on wings. Beyond the recall of sensual things, While our feet still cling to the heavy clay. Wings for the angels, but feet for the men! Ve may borrow the wings to find the way; We may hope and aspire and reiolve and pray, But our feet must rise or we fall again. Only in dreams is a ladder thrown From the weary earth to tlie sapphire walls; But the dream departs and the vision falls, And the sleeper wakes on his pillow of stone. Heaven is not reached by a single bound, But we build the ladder by which we rise From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies. i And we mount the summit, round by round. Shiloh's Consumption Cure. This is beyond question the most succ ess f ul cough medicine we have ever sold. A few doses invariably cure the worst cases of coughs, croup aud bronchitis, while its wonderful success in the cure of consump tion is without a parallel in the history of medicine. Since its first discovery it has been sold on a guarantee, a test which no other medicine can stand. If you have a cough we earnestly ask you to try it. Price 10c., 50c., and $1.

HICKS, ESQ., TO A PROM INENTJTHIRDI PARTY LEA DER. An Able and Pointed Paper on the Political and Financial Situation. Henderson, N. C, Sept. 23, 1892. D. H. Gill, Esq., Dear Sir : I believe that you are the head and front ot the People's party in Vance county and you wil be held responsible for its action and the results thereof. I have heard and considered the reasons for your course; they are to me insufficient. would gladly follow you or any man who offers something better than we have had. You know I wear no party collar. 1 wished that you and the People's party would hear dispassion ately and without confusion in politi cal assemblies my reasons for the political course I intend to pursue, This is not permitted. Please read this. It contains no falsehood. I believe no Democratic or white man will leave the party if he can be satisfied I hat the Democratic party is not responsible for the hard times. That it is not, I shall try to show. 1. You know it is a fact that be tween 150 and 200,000 dollars are taken from Vance county every year to enrich Northern manufacturers, and that neither we nor the nation get any return. That is a tax of eleven dollars per capita per year on Vance county. If left here, would not it cure the hard times? The Demo cratic party protests against this. 2. You know the South made last year nine million bales of cotton and that was three-fourths of the world's crop, and that two thirds of our crop went to England; that she is allowed to fix the price because she is the very largest buyer on the world's market. If I carried my cotton to England and exchanged it for her cheap goods, she is excluded and so am I, from bringing them to this country without nearly doubling their price in the form of a tax or a tariff, and you know that this keeps out English goods, forces England to pay less for our cotton, and allows Netu England manufacturers to charge us any price they will. And you know the Demo cratic party protests bitterly against it. 3. You know that between 1866 and 1870 a process was discovered of curing tobacco white, and that the practice was confined to Caswell and Granvillle counties, N., C. and per haps a border county in Va., and that from 1870 to away up in the eighties Darham, Henderson, Oxford and Milton and Danville, in Va., supplied the world's demand for bright tobacco and almost entirely from the counties named, and that the demand was out of all proportion to the supply, and that the price was out of all proportion to its value. And you also know that the production of bright tobacco has in the last few years spread almost all over North Carolina and Virginia, and in this State it can now be bought in great abundance at Asheville, Salisbury, Greensboro, Winston, Mt. Airy, Bur lington, Milton, Durham, Oxford, Roxboro, Henderson, Raleigh, Louis burg, Warrenton, Rocky Mount, Wilson, Tarboro, Greenville, and in various other places in Virginia and South Carolina. And while the sup ply has so increased the demand has decreased, people preferring to use the dark tobacco. Call on the next crowd you are in to show their plugs. Nearly all will be dark. Is the Democratic party responsible for this increase in supply? or the decrease of demand? or for the trust that further decreases the price? No, rather, it is the fault of the world and always was, to "make a good thing too common." 4. You know that politicalagitation depresses trade and causes those who have, to fear to venture lest they lose, that there were never so protracted and bitter and successful efforts, as for the last two and a half years to make the hand workers hate every body else. Does not this depress values and contract the currency? Is the Democratic party responsible for it? 5. You know that the entrusting of government in the Southern States to those who are unfit to govern would paralyze all business, depress values, j contract the currency here and ruin j us. As the breath of suspicion tar- j nishes a fair name, so the talk of this j two years ago and the present con- j tinued threat of it have and do de- : spoil us till it shall be past. Bat the i blight of it is on us and makes times j hard. Will you help to keep it on j us? Wasrititbad enongh the other time? Is the Democratic party re-1 sponsible for this? But I hear you j say: Let's talk about money. Fi- j nance. j 6. Well, you know, or I assume you j do, for it is true, that from the time j this nation begun to coin money in 1762'till 1 86 1 the total product ofi the silver mines of the United States was $1,650,000, and from 1861 to 1873, $152,500,000, and trom 1873 to 1892 it was 843, 500,000; and that including dollars, halves, quarters, twenty, ten, five and three pieces there has been coined in the Mint of the United States up to Sept. 1, 1892, six hundred and forty-three millions of dollars of silver, and that five hundn. and twenty-nine millions of dollars 1 this silver has been coined since silw was demonetized in 1S73. Thos figures are correct and true. Ple;i read this 6th section over "twice mor and Ihen say from your heart beton your Maker, whethei the Si year of tree and unlimited coinage of silve made the "good old times," orwheth er demonetizing silver made the prts ! ent "hard ti mes." If "two wron-- I don't make a right" three wont. Tar j iff is one wrong, class (manufacturers' : legislation, sub-treasury is another one ' class (tarmers; legislation. Free sil ver is another, class (miners) legisla tion. Is the Democratic mrty rc sponsible tor the demonetization of silver? , You know.it is not and th:i' the $529,000,000 abve mentioned was coined because the Democrats haC it done. Excuse me for mentionim how strange it sounds to me thai Southern men should hurrah for a measure demanded by and for the sole benefit of the Western silver miners, and should insist on the abolition of detective agencies because it is demanded by the lawless rough.; and strikers and foreigners that crowr the great Northern cities. BANKS. 7. You know that if a private person had $100,000 and should star, a private bank he might lend it ou. at 8 per cent, andget $S,ooo per year. If he wanted instead to start a nationa bank he would have to first buy U. S bonds, paying $127 for each $ioc worth. That, is the market price o U. S. bonds. So he would get S78, 740 in U. S. bonds; but he can issu money only to 90 per cent, of hb bonds, that is $70,896. This at 8 pe; cent, yields 55,669. liut he pays 1 per cent, for the privilege and draw; 3. per cent, on his government bonds leaving balance due him b the government $1,968. This addec to the 8 per cent, on the bills he is sues makes $7,637 or $363 less than the $8,000 that he would make witl a private bank. The real advantage that a banker has is in having tlu $100,000 to start with. Money 1V power. You can't separate powei from money. If you do, it won't bt money. Folks won't want it, and wili cease to struggle for it. More of any thing means cheaper of anything, lcs valuable of anything. The next ad-, vantage the bank has is the power tc return money deposited in it on de-; mand. This makes almost every-1 body carry their money and put it in ' iuc uaun uisicau ui iu yuui ui iiiy hands, and the bank knowing by long experience now last people win cal; for it is enabled to lend out at a good interest two or three times as much money as it owns and so it makes , money, is not an tnis right and honest ? 8. Are times harder than the un-' democratic laws above cited make them ? Before the war tobacco aver aged about 3 cents, now it averages 8 or io and has averaged about 15 for the last 20 years. Before the war brown sugar was 8 to 10 cents, now ! white sugar is 5; cotton cloth was 10 cents, now it is 6; calico was 12J4 now it is 5, and everything else in pro-' portion. Any man can make a liv-1 from one-third to half the days, and but tor the evils above pointed out 1 we need scarcely work at all. Fif- j teen of the leading People's party ' farmers in Vance county have in -1 creased their wealth 1 20 per cent, in' the last ten years, as shown by the , tax lists, after supporting and educat ing their lamilies. we are not as i bad off" as the "calamity howler"1 savs we are. You know it. 9. And then you say, eleven thou sand millions must be paid to the Yankees who own them for the rail roads. We never could pay this. f we did it would all go North and make 1 1,000 more millionaires. (There , are only 3,200 in the United States' now) and one and a half millions , more of office holders, and three mil- ions more office seekers, and a million cases in the federal courts. 10. You know that the Democratic ' party has not been in power since the war -once both houses several times the house and once the Presidency, and that every time it has had either branch.it has passed laws for the far mers' and Southern people's benefit that were defeated by the Republican?, that at its last session it passed free wool, free tin, free binding twine, free bagging and ties and reclaimed 54 million acres of the public lands; and a law prohibiting the dealing in fjtures, every one of which vas defeated or ignored by a Republican Sena:r, and you know that in State affiirs the Democratic party has been all that it ought to be, and that you and al most every other People's party man are bound by having participated in its conventions to vote for its candi dates. Can a party live and have the bless ing of God that has labor vs. capital for its cardinal principle and inspires its followers by appeals to their prej udices by trying to arraign hand workers vs. head workers? We must not expect too much of government. I think I have proved that though times are in some sense hard the Democratic party is not responsible for it and is opposed to the things that caused it. Then your duty is to vote that ticket. Yours truly, T. T. Hicks 1 rUK SALE BY W. W. ' DRUGGIST. PARKER J H. IIIJIIJUUKS, ATTOKXKY AT LAW, I Office: Over Post Office. dec31-i T. M.riTTMAN. W.
