We dj not think it worth while to waste time or space in con demning the Union Soldier mon puocity, for tli good, honest intel ligent lanners of Lincoln county and of ihe State aie not going to have any such doctrine stuffed into their rniniis- Such back pay to the COoe of millions ot dollars is not their idea of political economy. Mr. Wilson misquotes our lau jguage. We made the proposition that if a merchant contracted to pay a dollar per bushel in green back at that, time and under the conditom? we mentioned, he wouid, according to the St Souis stuff, owe the farmer $11 5. Does Mr. Wilson uot know that the discrepancy be tween gold and gieenback caused others to loose besides the Union Soldiers ? Mr. Wilson says that we intimate tb't if this money come South we would approve of it. We neither fcaid nor intimated any such thing. IJ'it do say that if it were a pro, position ijiat would he a liuaucial blessing as much to the South as to the North, or rather to all sections alike, then we would approve of it. For we are a tirm believer in Ihe Democratic and the Alliance doc trine of "equal rights to all and special privileges to none-'; and ''the ijre&test good to the greatest number". Tow let us see who is adhearing to the "golden iule". We are constantly urging through these columns that the Government re form ihe laws s that it does unto the South as it does unto the Noith. Mr. Wilson oal s upon the govern, ment to contribute unto the North what v i',1 not be contributed unto the South. The golden rule works botir ways. JJr. "Wilsou's version of it makes it works only one way -Nonhwaid. "Justice!" Does Mr. Wilson really believe that the liortli has uot jet received fulJ fi nancial retribution from the tosses of the late war ? The soldiers were paid in the "war currency''. Their .financial losses were no greater on -account of the war than many oth ers. The South lost almost every- thing and she has humbly and peacefully submitted to her misfor M.nes, and all she sisUm now is JUS runs "equal rights to all and tqe i d privileges to non My dear ir, we want to buiy the "blood v Vain' , and wo beg that you revise s aving it in our face. Now we have shown that in our political views the "golden rule'' uas a place, and that according to ,lr. Wilson's doctrine it has not a place in his politics; tor he wants ro do unto others as they wjll not ander the same conditions do unto him ! Now about the commandments. We can repeat the ten commands (ifi.is"by heatt". We have not vet committed to memory the St. Louis J J eraaind merits. Hut we have compared the latter carefully with the former and are convinced that if we adopt those 12 demandments endorsed by Mr. Wilson, as our pol itieal platform, then our politics will not, sure enough, have much of the ten commandments in it. It Sir. Wilxon can prove- that the rail road and the Union Soldieis' p'anks are a part of the ten commandments we will agree to endorse them, Mr. Wilson says the question is "uot shall the negroes be free, but shall the white farmers be free." Will he pVase show to us how the payment of the Union Soldiers this "back grab" salary will benefit the farmers generally or aid in freeing them from financial pressure? Will he show how the buying up of the railroads and telegraph lines &c, can contribute to tire relief of the farmers? Our friend, Mr. Wilson, and these St. Louis deformers charge that both ihe Democratic and Re publican parties are opposed to ti nancial reform. The charge against the Democratic party is false. Now if this People's or Third par ty splits up the Democratic party, what can be the result, save that the Repub licans will be continued in pwer 1 Then comes another question, and that is, how can such a result gain ;or the farmers freedom trom this financial pressure? Mr, Wilson knows that the vote recently taken on the silver ques tion is no test as to how the party s tands on "financial reform1'. We do not believe that we are o.jt loaded by prejudice. We be iicve we have carefully studied most ( f these new issues. We are per- nailed that our study of them has :.-en a asidious at that ot our rieud, Mr. Wilson. He has gulped I em dowu in toto without proper ( xamination and now ratLer than Uice an emetic endeavoring to make Inm stay by using a kind of phy fio which be believes to be argn uent. We trust he will be purged J rem the error of his ways, and re main faithful to the Democratic i arty and thus give aid in securing the reform we all so earnestly de t re. Silver Conference. The uivitatiou extended to Great irit'an by this country tor a con r reuce on the sliver question has ;ea accepted. The probability is tuat tins vexed question will now le settled ia a way that will insure j double staudard and at the same t ne properly protect all business ; terests. The London 'limes ops oses the conference, so far as f J i eat Britian is concerned, but the j;ugle gold standard so long de ended by the British Government s beginning to seriously affect In dia,, and consequently the Lane as mire manufacturers and traders 'ho do business with the Eas, and an appeal based upon this fact can ant longer be resisted, e en by a journal so conservative p.s the Lon don Times, which sees danger to tno Lritish constitution in the adoption of an improved railway car. State Chronicle. "The flowers that bloom in the Spring7' are not more vigorous than are those persons who purily their blood with Ayer's Sarsaparilla, The fabled Klixer Vita! could scarce ly impart greater vivacity to the countenance that this wonderful medicine. O.UR friend Hon, Moses Stroup eaya that he knows that the Union Holdier resolution was adopted at St. Lou;s, if it w&s not a part of the platform, and that the resolution amounts to about the same thing as a plank.

A f;iCH4T UATIIKItlMJ OF in;MO(;ttATs The S'ate Democratic Convention J HKemhled in Ualeigh was the larg j tst ever held in the State. Every j county had a lull delegation and the .-pacions Stronach warehouse was overflowing with delegates and spec, t a tors. The enthnsiasni had no bounds. There seemed to be a de termined purpose to make no blnn- der and to make every effort to se cure for the Democratic party the greatest victory it has ever attained. The Convention was called to or der at 12 o'clock by Ed. Chambers Smith, Chairman of the State Exec uiive Committee. Tbeu followed the appointment of committees od credentials, permanentorganization, and platform. The convention then adjourned till three o'clock. Bat the committee on credentials was detained till after 5 o'clock in hear ing the claims of contesting delega tions. After the convention reassembled and the delegates properly seated, then came the report from the com mittee on platform, and every eye was wide open and every ear ex pec'a'it, when Maj. lobiaf,of States-, ville, that brave and invincible de fender of the integrity and parity of Democracy, in a clear and ringing voice read the following enunciation of principles : Platform of the Democratic Parly. Resolved, 1. That the democracy of North Carolina reaffirm the ptin ciples of the democratic party, both State and national, and particu'ai ly favor the free coinage of silver and an increase of the currency, and the repeal of the internal revenue system. And we denounce the M Kinley tariff bill as unjust to the consumers ot the country, and lead ing to the formation of rusts, com bines and monopolies which have oppressed the people; and especially do we denounce the unnecessary and burdensome increase in the tax oa cotton ties and on tin, so largely used by the poorer portion of the people. We likewise denounce the iniquitious force bill, which is not yet abandoned by the republican party, but is being urged as a meas ure to be adopted as coon as they regain control of the House of Rp cesentatives, the purpose and effect of which measure will be to estab iish a second period of reconstruct on he Southern States, to subvert the liberties of our people audio ilame a new race antagonism and sectional animosi:ies. 2. That we demand fiuancial re form, and the enactmeut. of laws that will remove the burden of the people relative to the existing ag. ricultural depression, ami do lull and ample justice to the farmers and laborers of our country. 3. That we demand the abolition of natioual bants, and tie substi tution of legal teuder treasury notes in lieu of natioual bank notes, is sued in suffi 'iont volume to do the business of the country on a cash system, regulating the amount needed op a per capita basis as the jusiness interests of the couutry "spaud, and that all money issued vjy the government shall be legal tender in payment ot all debts, both public and private. 4 That we demand that Congress sliall pas9 such laws as shall effect ually prevent the dealing iu futures of all agricultural and mechanical productions; providing such strirn j gent system of procedure iu trials as shall secure prompt conviction j and imposing such penalf-ies as shall secure most perfect compli ance with the law. 5. That we demand the free and j unlinvted coinage of silver, 0. That we demaud the passage of laws prohibiting the alin owner ship ot land, and mat Congress take early steps to devise some plan to obtain all lands now owned by ! j alien and foreigu syndicati-s: aad ;. that all lauds uow held by railroads and other corporations, in excess of j I such as actually v, d aud needed ! j by them, be rt -: .::.neu by the gov j eru men t a ti 1 held for actual settlers i only. 7- Believing in the doctriueot ''equal rights to all and special priv ileges to none,' we demand that taxation, national or Staf,e, shall uot be used to build up one interest or class at the expense of another. We believe that the mouey of the country should be kept as much as possible in the bands of the people, -Mid hence we demand that all rev enue, national, State cr county, 6hall be limited to the necessary expenses of the government econ omically and honestly administered. 8 That Congress issue i suflicient anion ut ot fractional paper currency to taciliate the exchange through the medium of the Uuited States mail. Resolved, That the General As-, sembly pass such Jaws as will make the public school system more ef fective that the blessings of educa tion may be extended to all the people of the State alike. Air. Charles McDonald of Cabar rus made a motion that the plats form be adopted by acclamation. There were cries of "No." A dele gate from Haywood sent forward the following plauk That we de mand a graduated tax on incomes.'' This the committee accepted and then a motion was made that the platform as thus amended be adopt ed by a rieiug vote. Amid great cheers this was done and Ihe chair mau announced that the vote was uuanimous. The cheers and ap plause lasted several minutes. The adoption of the piatform was a complete victory over that St. Louis conglomeration. Meanest of Human Vires. The New York World says that "there is no legislation on our stat ute books so soiled with corruption, so tainted of human vices," and yet a sentiment in favor of an increase of pensions was embodied in a res olution unanimously adopted by the third party convention at St. Louis. Without discussing uow, says the State Chronicle, the amount that would be added to present pension charges against the tax-payers of the country by carrying out the sen timents of the St. Louis Convention, it would be well to understand fully what this present amount is, and we are indebted to the World for the following statement : "In the years that have passed since the end of the war many of the old soldiers have died, but the pen sion disbursements have increased from $13,400,000 in I860 ro $134, 000,000 appropriated for next year while the list has grown trom 127, 000 to 670,000 pensioners. Accord ing to Congressman Tucker we seem to have just entered upon our career ot pension extravagance. Bad as the past has been and the present is, the future is worse. There were 689,000 survivors of the war on June 30,189113,000 more than ihe pensioners on the rolls. There were 880,000 dead f oU diers not represented by widow or dependent relatives. This made nearly 1,570.000 persons eotitUd to be placed on the iollf Of Ihete 928,000 had made application. Uuon this basis Mr. Tncker estimates that at the end of three years $281,000,' 000 will be annually required to pay the pensions. This is an enormous liit so ex trayagant that patriotism and grat itude can have little relation to it. Much of it is pure plunder for po litical purposes. It Is more than ten times the pension list of Great Brit ain or France, and more than twen ty times tfiat of Germany. The amount we will give in grat itude to the dead would nearly pay for ihe 1,15G,000 active soldiers of Great Britain, France and Germa ny. Ilere is the list : Country. Army. Cost. GreatBritain, 182,000 8 91,000,000 France, 529,000 121,000,000 Germany, 445,000 85,000,000 Totals. 1,150,000 $297,000,000 It is time that thin evil should be reformed. In justice to the honest pensioners, to t he deserving old sol dierf, to the real widows and or phans of the deleuders of the Union, in order that the memory of the Re public's heroes shall not be maligned by association with the Republic's plunderers, aud for the cause of good government itself, the demo cratic majority iu Gongress should gain the courage to deal hours ly with this subject and to put into it the sharp edged knife of economy. Biiijg dowu the pension list to hones'; figures and make a pension synonymous with honorable and pa tiiotic ser?ice This is one of the chief duties of the hour. ' $!FQ7i C EM ET TS.

The reports of the Weekly Weathi er Crop Bulletin issued by the, North Carolina Experiment Station and State Weather Service for the week ending May 14. 1892, as fol- i lows : Eastern District. Much needed rains occurred on ihe 10th and 11th, bot it was not very well distributed, and in some sections more is needed. The rain was very beneficial in bringing op cotton and in counties where tobacco is planted made excellent conditions for transplanting. Corn is reported good by a few correspondents, bnt generally the stand is bad and damage by worms is reported by a good many. Wheat and oats are very good. Trock is doing well but pear are not turning out as well as expected in some places. The temperature daring the latter pari of the week was considerably below the average and was slightly inju rious to cotton and corn. There seems to be an increased acreage of peanuts. Central, District. Very ben eficial rains occurred in this district. Transplanting lobaico processes finely. Wheat and oats and grass es are ad doing well. Wheat is beginning to head. Cotton in com ing up fairly well. The cool weath er of the past few days however, retards growth. Some are plow ing com. The stand ot corn is bad generally, though some correspon dents report good stand. Western District. The weather has been quite favorable in this district. Corn planting is not yet finished in all sections, though some report corn up. Transplants ing tobacco has begun. The out look is good for an excellent wheat crop, and the prospect for fruit, especially apples, is good. Farmers well up with their work. Buckingham's Dye for the Whis kers is a positive remedy for a gray beard. r nam A Friend Wishes to speak through the Register ot the beneficial result he has received from a regular ue of Ayer's Pills. He says: "I was feeling sick and tired and my stomach seemed all out of order. I tried a number of remedies, but none seemed to give me relief until I was in duced t- try the old reliable Ayer's Pills. I have taken only one box, but I feel like a new man. I think they are the most pleasant and easy to take of anything I ever used, being so finely sugar-coated that even a child will take them. I urge upon all who are In Need of a laxative to try Ayer's Pills." Boothbay (Me.), Register. "Between the ages of five and fifteen, I was troubled with a kind of salt rheum, or eruption, chiefly confined to the legs, and especially to the bend of the knee above the calf. Here, running sores formed which would scab over, but would break immediately on mov ing the leg. My mother tried every thing she could think of, but all iwas without avail. Although a child, I read in the papers about the beneficial effects of Ayer's Pills, and persuaded my moth er to let me try. them. With no great faith in the result, she procured and I began to use them, and soon noticed an improvement. Encouraged by this, I kept on till I took two boxes, when the sores disappeared and have never troubled me since." H. Chipman, Real Estate Agent, Roanoke, Va. "I suffered for years from stomach and kidney troubles, causing very severe pains in various parts of the body. None of the remedies I tried afforded me any relief until I began taking Ayer's Pills, and was cured." Wm. Goddard, Notary Public, Five Lakes, Mich. Prepared hy Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Maaa.
