NOT DEAD IN MACON COUNYT. Leatherman, N. C. Mr. Editor: Being a regular reader of your very valuable paper ana see inerthatvou have no regular corres pondent in this section of our grand old State. I have ventured to say to the friends of reform that while we are in manv resoeets isolated from the out side busy world, yet we are not dead neither indifferent in reerard to the great political revolution that is agi tating the minds of the honest yeo manry of our hand, and stirring to ac tion the long dormant faculties of the greatest, truest and bravest men oi our beloved America. We are well equipped for the great struggle in No vember and trulv believe the People's party will elect their picket by a hand some majority in this 'county. Our politicians tell us we !- are ignorant of the merits of the eld parties or else we would not be carried away by this fairy (People's party) as they term it. We acknowledge thi as true in a very great measure How could it be other wise when their good deeds are so few and far between that it is hard to see more than one at a time? Now, gentle reader, do not understand us to atrAch no good to either of the old parties. What we mean is simply this, the legislation of the old parties for the re lief of the latoring millions is utterly lost in insignificance when compared with that for the favored few. Ah yes, we are reaping the rewards of their po litical merits in sorrow now. And if we do not arise in the strength and valor of true Americanism ,and by one mighty united effort at the ballot-box defeat these great enermVfof reform, the time is not far distouwhen we can no longer boast of A3 ean free- dom, but must haul doivo' ensigi of liberty and whilst-'-.cfK great ire shackles of plutocracy are Leing forge v.vsU, uuu uiusu iitmi Qoivuf jr ensiarns iron ?v ato liwnp' fnr&Pd aiuuuu us, we must look itn silent sad ness upon our once glorioils sun of lib erty &s it sheds? its" last lingering ray upon our once happy lan 1 and sinks into the abyss of sadness I1 lever -more to rise upon us as a free j 'hple.

Tn the Declaration of Independence our forefathers defined the kind of gov ernment they wanted, and laid down the rights of mankind, as follows: " We hold these truths to be self evident: That all men are created equal ; that they are endowed by their Creator, with certain inalienable rights; thas among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. " That to secure these rights govern ments are instituted among men, deriv ing their just powers from the consent of the governed." Thus we find that governments are instituted among men to secure life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, and that they derive their power from the consent of the governed. The National Constitution is the contract snowing what power the people consented for the government to have and not to have. ' j Again we find in the captain to the Constitution the purposes for which they formed that instrument, thus: "In order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domes tic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, j and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity." Thus every power granted or pro hibited in the Constitution is for the purposes explained in the caption. Among the powers the people con sented for Congress to have, we find the following: Section 8, p. 3, "To regulate com merce with foreign nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian tribes " Then in Sec. 9, p. 0, we are told by the Constitution what the people aid Congress should not do cn this subject!, thus: "No preference shall be given by any regulation of commerce or revenue to the ports of one State over those of another." On the subject of money we find that the people consented for Congress to Lave the following power: Section 8, p. 4, "To coin money, regulate the value thereof and of foreign coin." And in the next paragraph they say, "To provide for the punishment of counterfeiting the securities and cur rent coin of the United States." Sec. 10 says, "No State shall coin money, emit bills of credit.pr make anything but gold and sliver a tender in payment of debts." Thus delegating the exclusive power to coin money and regulate its value to Congress and prohibiting both the people and States. Now let's see what Mr. Jefferson had to say about the Constitution and the formation of our government in order to understand what was intended by our forefathers and what true Democ racy is : On Dec. 20, 1787, in a letter to James Madison on the Constitution he used these words : "I like the organization of the gov ernment into legislative, judiciary and executive. I like the pover given the legislature to levy taxes, and for that reason solely, I approve of the greater house being chosen by the people directly. For though I think a house so chosen, will be very far inferior to the present Congress and may be very illy qualified to legislate for the gen eral Union and touching foreign nations, etc., yet this evil does not weigh against the good of preserving inviolate the fundamencal principle "that the people are not to be taxed, but by representatives chosen immediately by themselves." In that same letter he tells Mr. Madi son what he dislikes in regard to the Constitution, thus: "I will tell you what I do i ot like: First, the ommision of a bill of rights providing clearly, and without the aid of sophism for freedqm of religion, freedom of the press, protection against standing armies and restriction of monopolies." Further on in the same letter on this subject he says: "The saying there shall be no monopolies lessens the incitements to ingenuity which is spurred on by the tope of a monopoly." In another place in the same letter he says: ''Abolish stand ing armies in time of peace and monop olies in all cases." In December, 1801, he sent his first message to Congress as President of the United States, and after outlining the riches of the country arid intelli gence of the people, he utters these sacred words: ' "Still one thing more, fellow citizens, a wise and frugal gov ernment, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall le&ve them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improve ment and , shall not take from the mouths of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government. . Absolute acquiescence ia the de cisions of the majority the vital prin ciples of a republic from which there is no appeal except to force economy in public expense, that labor may be lightly burdened Encouragement of agriculture and, of commerce as its handmaid." w It is a well established fact that Thomas Jefferson meant to regulate commerce among the States' without monopolies or corporations, and that he meant to coin money and regulate its value without national banks or corporations, for . while Secretary of State und:r Wellington in 179 J., when the prop.iticn to charter a national bank came up he ret out eight legal and conrtituticnal reasons why it should not fcsdosc, closing thus: "TSie incorporation of a bank and the powers assumed by this bill, have not in my opinion been delegated to the United States by the Constitution." His last objection to the bank is as follows: "To communicate to them (the incorporators) power to makeJ laws paramount to the laws of the States, for so they must be construed, to protect the institution from the con trol of the State legislatures." He then quotes. Art. 10, of the Con stitution, saying: "'I consider the foundation of the Constituti m as laid on this ground, thus: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively or to the people." From the foregoing, two general propositions are made very clear: First, that Congress was delegated with power to regulate commerce among the several States and was in structed to so regulate, "That no I reference shall be given by any regu ation of commerce or revenue to the ports of one State over another. Sec ond, that Congress was delegated with exclusive power to coin money and regulate its value, and so careful were the people of that power that they pro hibited the States from exercising it, and instructed Congress to provide for the punishment of any one who inter f erred with the exclusive power of Congress in this matter. Our forefathers proclaim in the Dec latidn of Independence that govern menta are instituted among men to secure the rights of "life, liberty and pursuit of happiness." Hence the power to regulate commerce and coin money as a function of government must be viewed from that standpoint. The fraaiers of our Constitution also wisely set out m the caption to that instrument the reasons and purposes for which the Constitution was framed, and the government organized. And the applic ition of the power to regu late commerce and coin money, must comport whh those reasons, and so must every power designated in that Constitution. Thus, when we find the power to regulate commerce and coin monev in the Constitution we turn to the captain and find that this power was given u In order to form a perfect Union, establish justice, insure domes tic tranquility, provide fcr the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity." We hold first that the Constitution delegates in Congress the power to coin money and regulate commerce and ihat it nowhere authorizes Congress to transfer or re delegate that power to a corporation, and we hold, it to bo a doctrine of law too old and; well estab lished to be disputed, that a delegated power cannot be transferred unless eo specified in the instrument conferring the original power. , But if some persons may be so liberal in their view of the Constitution as to hold that Congress could transfer to railways, banks and other corporations, these powers, purely they will concede that tt e original delegates, the people who are -tho source from which the first power was given are not to be de prived of any of their rights ii the matter, and hence it would be s the bounden duty of the power to which it was transferred to coin money and regulate commerce according to the spirit of the Constitution as defined m the caption. ' No well posted unbiased person will certainly contend that they do. We believe that most people will agree with us that the reverse is true. That they coin ; money and regulite com merce so as to destroy a perfect Union, outrage justice," disrupt the general welfare, promote domestic violence, strikes and disturbance, and secure the curses of slavery, oppression and peon age to ourselves and our pofterity. Now let us consult Mr. Jefferson. Mr. Jefferson, how would you coin money and regulate commerce? "First, so as to preserve inviolate the fundamental principle that the people are not to be taxed but by rep resentatives chosen immediately by themselves. " Second so as to abolish monopolies in all cases." "So as to have a wise and frugal government, and not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned." "Soa8 to have economy in public expense in order that labor may be lightly burthened." " So as to encourage agriculture and commerce as its handmaid." To day every principle of the Consti tution is being outraged and the teach ings of Jefferson are being ignored in these matters. Ne n York and a few port where the corporations have cen tered, are being teemed with wealth through the regulation of commerce and the revenues and the people and many other ports are being robbed under the icfluence of corporate regu lation of commerce, ; taxation and finances. The government function to coin money should be exercised so as to coin what money the people need to transact the business of the people, and put that money in the channels of trade in some just equitable way which admits of no partiality or monopoly. Put the government in charge of the transportation and let it take the freights for the people like it carries letters, at a uniform rate.. This would destroy trusts, combines and monop olies. ' J For there could be none under sucn a system. Adjust the operation so ao to preserve the autonomy of the St Ues, and prevent the tf ndencr to centralize tion by puttingthe officers and em ployees in each State under -the jur . - diction of each State. A tax on in comes. Allow no corporation to set salaries fcr its officers higher than like officers of the State that created it. General reduction of official salaries. Not a dollar of tax more than what a wise and frugal government needs. Will take up the matter as outlined in this letter when we write next. - Whh best wishes. J. H. Davis, of Texas, in New Forum. THE COAL ROBBERY. The polite, enterprising, cultured thieves who run the Beading coal com bine keep turning the screws of impo sition, and the complaints of the people make no impression upon the rascals. There are better and more honest men in the penitentiary to day, thousands of them, than are these commercial highwaymen. Yet there is a law against the formation of trusts. But what is law if it is not enforced? What is government if it does not enforce law? the truth is, as Wendt 11 Phillip3 used to say about the Mayor of Boston,, the country elects men to office not to en fo ce law but to neglect to enforce it. Phillips, with his stinging sarcasm, was accustomed to say that the Boston Mayor was dug out of the same hole he was expected to clean. And that is true of most of our public officials. They are either monopolists themselves or are the hirelings cf monopoly, and nothing better can be hoped for in the direction of the execution of law until we elect a different class of men to fill official positions. When will we begin to do it? Farmers' Voice. A NEW INDUSTRY. Buckner, Mo. Mr Editor: For the benefit of your readers, I give my experience with one of the mostjvaluable plants that has ever been discovered the domestic coffee berry, which i3 destined to save our farmers hundreds of thousands of dollars as soon as its merits become known. 1 have been farming over 60 years, and never saw anything to equal it, and- while growing is a perfect sight to behold the best coffee substitute ever discovered. Many pronounce it equally as good, and there are some who cannot tell the difference, and only costs about one cent per pound to raise exclusive of seed, as it is such an enor mous yielder, producing when sowed broad cast from 40 to 60 bushels per acre, and planted in rows three feet apart and one berry, every 10 inches. My patch made at the rate of 38 bushels, as easy to raise as corn or beans, and subject to no insect pests arid does tplendid cn thin land ; grows from two to three feet tall and fruits from the ground up, plump pods touching each other on the loaded linsbs stretching out and meeting each other in the mid die of the row with a vast mas of foliage which makes it very improving to land. Matures North or South in less than five months ; much more fat tening for hogs than corn. Parch and prepare like other coffee. , It is ex tremely healthy on account of its medi cal properties in curing rheumatism; is superceding store coffee wherever it has been grown. I suppose it is a Ger man plant, as I got my first start from a German who had it advertised at $8 per pound and I consider it the best in vestment I ever made. In order that you may see and taste for yourself, I send you a part of a bush of it of my late planting and enough to make a pint of coffee good enough for a king to drink. . Wishingyou arid your valuable paper success, I remain Yours truly, . v . .. " ' : . . C. E. Cole. NOTES FROM CUMBERLAND COUNTY. Mr. Editor: The People's party is moving at a break: -neck speed in the eastern part of Cumberland. Gen. Stevenson spoke at Fayetteville on the 2 1st. The Wilmington Messenger says there were 3,000 people present, and that there was also 1,000 horseback riders in the cavalcade. I think there was about 1500 or 2,000 people present in Fayetteville, , - and 183 horseback riders by actual count. Two thirds of the country people were hearty sup- Eortera of the People's party. I think alf of the crowd that was in the city was People's party men. The mer chants closed their stores to swell the crowd. ) The Fayetteville Observer says that Hon. B. F. Grady spoke at Cedar Creek on the 19th, to 300 people, and Third Eartyites Vdeclared: themselves for the lemoeraiic party. Your correspondent was present and heard Mr. Grady speak, and counted the crowd, and there was twenty-two people present Ten ot the crowd lived within an arrow' flight of where the stand was. There was five visitoi s attending a re vival t the Methodist Church. There were only eight Cleveland men present, counting three of the visitors. Cat. Frank D. Koonce went to 3peaU at Fayetteville on the 21at, but was pot allowed to speak by the People's-. Executive Committee. Mr. John McDuflie, Chairman of the People's party, arose to introduce Capt. Koonce, and the hungry town fops tried to howl him elf the stand by profanity, black guarding and hissing, but Mr. McDuffie is net a man to back from the yell of a town fop. He, gave them down the country with a two hours' speech. Capt. Koonce spoke at Cedar Creek to aooi it 1C0 people. H will, get every rca vote in tne neignocrnood D. C. D. i it worth reading? What? The gressive Farmer. Then read it. BUTLER AND BELL AT SALISBURY. Mr. Editor: On Sept. 14th, accord ing to promise, Mr. Marion Butler and Mr. J. S. Bell had a joint discussion in the court house in Salisbury. Dr. Exum was also billed for this place, but busi ness called him home the day before. At 12 m. the bell rang and the people assembled. Mr. Bell came in first, and when Mr. Butler walked through the crowd, shouts of hurrahs rent the air s for three mjnutes. Mr. Bell came first. He at his best and in his most happy style, held the attention of the people tor one hour and twenty minutes. Then Mr. Butler arose and showed that large crowd thai? Bell produced no arguments whatever in defense of Democracy. Mr. Butler's speech did much good and' was listened to attentively by the good people, but the misconduct of some of the city people only helped to gain more votes for the People's party. He proved himself the equal in debate of our best stump speakers. He made a State reputation and was applauded to the echo. Thirty minutes rejoinder was given each speaker, when Mr. Butler completely demolished all of Mr. Bell's arguments. Oae thousand or more people were present, the Weaverites being in the majority. But the Herald says: "The Democrats were most numerous in the caowd, as was evi denced by the large numbers of Cleve land badges worn." It seems that the Herald simply lied. The truth says, excepting the city pe ;pla (of whom there were about 75, and over half of them were hardly able to walk) I can truthfully say that there were not 25 Cleveland badges worn. The majority of the people were Weaveritee, and L tell you, Mr. Editor, Rowan county will cast her vote for the People's party. She has put out a full county ticket and expeots to win in November. Again the same villifying sheet says that Locke township was O. K. . for Democracy. Lied again. The writer lives in this township and car! say that her people are like the little boy who fell out of the balloon, they are not in it. Democracy is scarce in Rowan, as there wasn't but a few people who raised any, but it is thaught that the cattle will eat it all up before Novem ber. . W. R. GOOD ADVICE. ' Oakley, N. C. Mr. Editor : I see throu gh the many '. newspapers of the land that there is much division amor g the people as to politics as well as about other things, said the whole talk, it seems, is politics in every paper you get . hold of,, and rr aay things said should not be by any party or parties of any source, unless it should be for good in some way to our country or people.- So I would like to say to the public and for the good of all mankind that this prejudice spirit of the people should be shopped at once for. the good of all parties and our country. My dear people, in love do I try fr. drop these few lines to.the very center of each and every heart of the people of these United States. It is too bad for any one to be engaged in, much less a statesman or a Christian. Should we not understand that we are all of flesh and blood made by the same workman, and have no power only that delegated to us by this same work man, and that limited to us for good. Should we not be fearful how we trample on this glorious gift of flesh and blood, which in fact does not be long to ourselves? Are we not bought with a price, and a dear one, too? It don't matter what station in life we fill, it is all delegated to us by this same workman, and have no other power, though this power may be im-. proved by following his directions,, which worketh no ill to anyone. So I would like to say to every person, both South and North, and no less to our Western friends, and brethren in every faithful contest for good let every person educate himself for his own good now and forever. Don't fool about this matter if you want to do well, for yourselves and children. But cultivate and educate yourselves by the direction of him that built you of flesh and blood. .Use no slang words or prejudice in any way whatever, if you expect to be successful in any business. - ' . As to the new political party called the People's party now and here i3 the d irt I call your attention to; as I have stated above, don't use any slang words or prejudice in any way whatever, but ask the great builder of yourself to govern and guide you in this matter. We need relief and , relief we can havo if we go to work and ask of him that can and will give; if we ask in faith of this workman. Do this, and don't for get it, either. I am now for the People's party too, since I went to Rocky Mount the other day and saw the conduct of the W. & W. branch railroad at Tarboro, N. C. They got our money for a ride on the train only; but let them go for awhile. My brethren, be faithful to your call ing in all honest thing. Let us havo Washington's administration beforo we stop this boat, for it is plain to bo seen we can't have it from any other source than a new party. Let us get in the middle of the road and stay there. It is thought that this county will go for the People's party. But 'speak evil of no one for his faith in politics. r-: J- J. Bawls.
