A DEFINITION OFPAIt- T.MX.. about the "partisau press," "'parti san politicians" &c. Now what is the meaning of this! What is a partisau. Webster says it means "an adherent to a party." If this definition is correct, then a "nou partisan" is one who holds to no party at all. Now the people of tins country are divided up iuto political divisions. Some are for one kind of Government and others are for other peculiar kinds of gov ernmeut. Politics is the science ol government or managment of a political party. For the meaniug of "political" we relet the reader to "Webster. A partisan, therefore, is one who holds to certain principles of au organizitiou upon which he think governmental laws and gov erumeutal mauagmeut should be based, and a "non-partisau'7 is oue who holds no opiuion at all as to matters pertaining to government, and la therefore a character to be pitied. A partisan believes some thing and has the manhood to staud to his convictious. A "uou partiaW believes nothing or kuows nothing and has uo convictiousto staud by. The disposition there fore to coudeuiu a man because of his adhereuce to a party is unman ly md foolish. Some people these days want to b- several Kinds of paitisaus. Or rather they want to be partisans and nou partisaus both at the siine time. When they are iu the preseuce of sriaigut out Dom ocrats they are squarely for Demoo racy and when they are before the Alliance, for iustauce, they are for the Oeala platform, subtreasuty and all. As to ourself we are per lectly willing to bn called a "paiti sau." We are partisan. We have convicnous and must atand by them. Those honestly differing from us, however, are allowed their houest opiuions. We believe iu the great principle of Democracy because it appears to bo nearest the true prin ciples of government. Until we see that these principles are wrong we must stand by them. We belong to the Democratic party and are strongly though charitably "parti san". It should be p'ain to every oue who has any understanding of the English language that if partisan is the proper title (aud it is the proper title) applied to one who be. longs to either of the old political organizations it is equally as proper ( for it to be applied to any who may join a new political organization. If, therefore, "partisan" is to be ap plied to a member of an old politi cal party to brand him as iuiqui touH, it should also be applied to a a member of a new political organi zation to brand him as iniqnitons These remarks are made because of the fact that certain editors and lecturers seem to delight in the use of ''partiHan'' when they wieh to condemn men for tbeir po,,l,cai nn;n:miH an(i adherence thereto MOHi: AHOUTTHESUM THKASIIRT. Mr. Editor; We have known for some years past that it would take a very large book to hold what we didn't know, We thought we bad heard of the Government baying some Bilver bnllion and "gold dust.' We are puzzled and onr mind is very much clouded. We see that the gold m circulation does not in crease. We will kindly ask you to enlighten us as to how much silver bullion the Government is now buy ing. Also how much does the gold coinage exceed the "buying" you speak of brought into actual circu lation since, we will say, July first 1891. Would be very glad to see some facts and figures along on this liue. You may be able to convince us, also that the '-Silver Kmgs'; and "gold dust diggers" are the "peo ple". You could find other ways by which money gets out of the tieasury, we think. But do not think yet there are but "three" ways how tor it to get into the bands of the poople "in sufficient volumne to enable them to make an exchange of their products" May ' be when we learn the amount of silver bullion tbe Government is now buying, we'll think differently. Why is the rev enue system so very "infernal," Are uot whiskey aud tobacco luxuries. And nhould not the greater tax be plaoed on something the poor man is not compelled to buy. If not, why not. Now Mr. Editor, there must have been another pen "slip ping" wrong, when it wrote that we were "discarding" the tariff aud "hootiug" at those who could not i sei as we saw loa win uqu oui 1 that the tariffs will. UQt.be the issne .cm iu fuuuiuiuiiuuu io questions of far greater moment. The people expect to run the next campaign. They want tariff reform, and intend to have it ; but they want other re forms a great deal more, and they intend to have them first. For exs plaiuation as to what we had refer enee to when we said "down the o!od-hopper aud his plans etc", would refer you to a letter written by a distinguished Southern States man and exteusively copied in State Pres. Do not remember eeeiug it in Courier. Now we do not believe the auther of that letter to be a ! southern Democrat ; although he claims to be a leader in that party. We thought our language was plain aa to our position on bank question. To make it so plain all may under stand we will say that we are in la vor of abolition of the Dresent na tional banking system, and in lieu ! thereof, we favor the Government loaning money direct to the people ; taking as stcurity therefor, such ee curity as the people have to give. There wilt be no need to change the Constitution. The precedent is es tablished beyond a doubt. Free uud unlimited coinage of silver is one of our "pets," and how you could twist our language into a 'hoot", is the "eighth wonder of the world" to us. We say let the Government give the farmers free silver. A depository for their adr plus. Land loau for those in debt, keep foreign capatatits from in vesting heie iu laud. A graduated iucome tax. A tariff lightest on the necossati t of lite. A regulated transportation. Half the showing it gives the money lords. And t leu allow them to vote direct for President aud U. S. Senators, and th-y ill be the most prosperous, happy aud conteuted people on ihe f ioe of this earth. Is the Demo cratic party fighting for this end. If so hero is my hand "to will and to do." (We hope you wilt under stand that our remarks have not been intended as personal.) J. Will McIntosh. Lowesville, 8, 25, '91, We have only a few words to say iu reply to the above. Our friend said in his previous article that money cau get out of the United States Treasury in only three ways Now be admits that he has "heard" of Hsgetiiog oQtia another Our expression 'Now tbe govern meut buys a 1: mitod amount of silver" was nned as a general term. It is said that ince the first of July the coinage of silver has stopped This, however, has nothing to do with the argument on the point at issue. Oar correspondent knows that the government does occasion ally coiu a limited amount of silver. Now the government must either buy, ateal or mine the bullion or beg it or get it as a free gfr. It remains for him to decide by which method it gets it. Our correspondent argues as if we were endorsing the present gov ernment. Why does he ask us j what the government is now doing or is not doing 1 How much silver j brought into circulation since July, j 1891 ? Yes, how much T Now does j our correspondent not know that it J is the little or none pot into circula tion that we are raging about 1 The trouble with our friend is that he wants to hold Democrats responsi ble for the present and past Repub lican administration I We are not very well up on figures especially money figures. The questions asked by our correspondent about the present system has nothing to do with the difference between him aud us. We have, however, stum bled upon a few figures found in onr exchanges which we give in ! order paitially to comply with ! his wish. Here are the figures: ;, "A statement prepared at the j Tieasury Department showed that there was a net increase of $G,108, t 221, in circulation during the month ol August and a net iucrease of 13,058,004 in money and bullion in the treasury during the same peri- ; od. Changes in circulation were as f follows Decrease in gold coin, $884 677 : gold certificates $7,412,310; U. S. uotes, $2, 106,128 ; increase in stau dard silver dolIars394,848 ; subsid iary si'ver $791,204 ; silver certifi ates $10,297,207 ; Treasury notes $2,064,272 ; currency certificates $1,190,000. National bank uotes 1,893,913 .' Then here are some figures more favorable to silver In 1884 we received from abroad 14,500,000 of silver ; 1885, $16,500 000 of silver; 1886, $17,850,090; 1887, $17,250,000 ; 1888, $15,400, 000 ; 1889, $18,700,000. In the sev en months from January 1, 1890, to August, 1S91, we imported $12,028,- t'liere was Imported $8,248,387.' In the seven months just passed there are exported of foreign silver f 4, 711,000, while In the corresponding seven months of 1890, we exported $6,131,454. Now if our correspondent can get any consolation out of these figures be is certainly welcome to them. They are about as reliable as any ou can get. We all know there is something wrong with the circulation of mon ey. The fault is either with the government or the people or both. The difference between us is how to get this ugly condition of things made better. Onr friend wants the subtreasury in order to get it(though from his letter it seems that he for got that we started out to discuss the sub.treasury.) We want him now to make some calculations and give us a "lew facts aud figures." He said he favored the govern. I meot's ware houses for storing pro duce. How far apart are the ware houses to be placed aud what is each to cost (iu rouud numbers) ! How many officers for each! Who is to appoint or elect them and where U the money t come from to pay them ! As to the present revenue system we do uot propose to discuss that at present. Everybody is familiar with its workings and the innumer able frauds perpetrated iu conse quence of it. As to how onr cor. respondent treated the tariff we simply refer to his previous letter. We have nothing to do with that ' "clodhopper" statement, nor do we j know what letter so extensively I coppied7' he refers to, as there have been many letters "extensively copied." In conclusion we will say that we hope tha', if the sub-treasury plan is ever made a law, our correspon dent will realize all his dreams of financial plentitude, prosperity and happiuess that the sub-treasury advocates are picturiugto the farm ers throughout the country.

Jerry Hlmpsou ami I be Tblrl Pari jr. There has been a good deal of talk lately about the Alliance going into a third party. Most of the Alliance leaders depy that they in tend to start a new party in the jouth, OjL Po k says, if a third party is formed, it will be on acs count of the domineering and dic tatorial policy of the Democratic Uaders. Ou tbe other hand it is alleged that ii a new party is formed it will be ou account of the pro pective policy of tbe Alliance leads era. We take no stock in such talk, if a third party is formed it will be because the people have repudiated the principles of their fathers and gone after strange gods. It will be j because the Alliance leaders invite i such ex Republicans as Simpson to j come South to undermine the Dem- j ocratio party aud advocate the third party. The responsibility for a third party will rest with those who fellowship with third party men and invite them to come am ong us and divide our people. What would be thought of a eon federate soldier who had invited and allowed a blue coat to enter the confederate lines at dead of night and place a magazine of pow der uuder his comrades. Would such a soldier be considered a friend of the confederacy ? If Rev. Dr. Reed and Rev, Mr. Todd were holding a revival meet ing and should invite Bob Ingersoll to come down and allow him to rid icule Jesus Christ and preach infi- delity. we say would Mr. Reed and Mr. Todd be considered frieuds ot Christianity ?- Are the men who invite Jerry Simpson to preach third partyism ia the South and follow him about, are they friends of the Democratic party f Are they friends of the Southern people ? We have no quarrel with those v?ho desire to desert their Southern freinds and neighbors and joiu with j Jerry Simpsou in the third party. We respect Jerry Simpson, who though misguided, is sincere and honest and tells where he stands like a man. But we have nothing .. "pit tuu. ot 4'xr- 'he uiej wJi o are escorting third party men over the state to assail the Democratic pirty, We despise the coward and sneak who will use the Democratic cloak to hjde the false heart. Since Simpson s speech we have heard a number of farmers say that they were going into a third party. What can be expected bnt a' third party when third party apostles are brought here to preach; "What iioever ye sow that aball ye also reap." "Whosoever soeth to the jviud shall reap the whirlwind," There are great political evils to bo corrected. The farmers are the great sufferers. We have sought to riug about reform. Some success iias lollowed. The farmers of the South through the Democratic pars ty have more representation in Cou- gress thau at any time since the war. The North West is deserting the Pepublican party and with a solid South iu 3892 there is no doubt of Democratic victory, lint the third party iu the South is cer tain to knock over tbe soup pot. Another Republican will be elected President and tbe South will be turned over to the radicals. There is no more chance of a third party victory than there is that the ekiet will raiu artiohokes. Before gettiug reform through the third party you must first sprinkle salt on tbe tail of the rainbow aud ride a broom stick to tbe moon. We have uo fear that any consid erable number of farmers will go into a third party. The best Dem ocrats we have are farmers. But we fear enough of them will be led o jerry aimpson & Co., to cause tbe carpet bag party to resume the throue iu North Carolina. A few more speeches from Jerry Simpson will settle the Alliance and the Democratic party also. We warn our people against the Third Party. Democracy is here to !ay. Those who desert it will live io be hissed upon the highways of North Carolina and their uames will liuger in the people's memory covered with the stain that blackens th memorv of the turncoats and carpet baggers who degraded and defamed our state in the days of reconstruction Beware of those men who are every thing in turn and nothing long.

I guess the old farmers are in a sweat and some of them have the blues, for it is rainy and their fed der is rotting. If the frost don't visit before the middle of October, the farmers will knock the rust off of those old guano bills. Corn is very good. May the farmers sell tbe wheat, May the merchants sell a heap.
