THE POPULISTS AND REPUBLICANS.
The Populists held their State
Convention in Raleigh last week; It
was largely attendod, but was .not
altogether as harmonious as its pre
vious conventions. It is a little
.hard to tell just what kind of a

Butler tried to get 'the

beiDff the nominee ot th TCpmihii-
can party and a straight Republican,-
the middle-of-the-roaders raised
a kick , and Butler, -withdrew ,his
iiame, and no; further nominations
were made.1 The remainder" of the
ticket was' left for the Executive
committee to mi;. ;
: This ticket was quite a surprise to
the Republicans who had; left va
their ticket to be
filled by the Populists.' ., ; ; , '
Af ter the'adjournmeni of the Pop:
list convention the Republican Ex
ecutive Committee; met in Raleigh to
complete their - State ticket. -; This
they did by endorsing the Populist
ticket with the exception of , Guthrie
and Ayer. This makes things more
confused 1 than "ever. . Both parties
say there will be no coming down of
their candidates. ' Well, we will wait
and see. , . ' J ,
Reports f rom ; the -f fifth district
are very encouraging to the Demo
crats. From every county news
comes of he enthusiasm for Kitchin
. : - ' . - -w- '
and free silver. Mr. Jiitcnin is
making an active canvass and will
continue to do so until he and Mr.
Settle begin their joint campaign
The outlook for Mr. Kitchin's elec
tion is very bright indeed. The peo-
nle realize that in this district the
fight is between the gold ; standard,
represented by Settle, and the masses
and free silver represented by Kitchin
and thev are aromar. to cast their
votes accordingly. '
The True Cause of the Present Financial
Depression.
Day by day as failures occur, and
stocks go down, it is a favoiite thing
for the gold men to attribute these
events to 'free silver" and tells ua
that this is what it means. Whit until
free silyer comes and judge it by its
works, but in the meantime, our dear
gold standard friends, take your med
icine. Your are not experiencing the
effects of the coming . of free silver.
but are experiencing legitimate and
inevitable efiects of parting with it
in 1873. The hurt to silver though
thirty millions a year, is but the "fly

thrown out of its work as money, turn
ed into a commodity and reduced in
price year by year by a constantly
increasing and appreciating gold
standard, every other: product and
commodity was broken down with it.
The whole base upon which all the
securities that Wall street deals in,
and billions more that do not come to
Wall street at all, has been under-
mined.and crumbled by loss of profits
on production, low prices, brought on
year by year by the growing "standard
of value" that in 1873 was substituted
for our monetary unit of silver. We
have sown low pricesin the founda
tion and are reaping them in ' the
superstructure. We are getting, not
the coming of silver but the legitimate
ending in failure of the "old policy.
It has run to the limit in our basic
operations and now the enormous and
towering structures of debt built up
on labor. Railroads cutting rates

nated is good. Itis a strong ticket,
and the platform is not bad.', But we
don't know what is behind .it; before
it nor around it. ; The whole -thing
is enveloped in mystery.
; We feel like telling an old story to
illustrate our position. Unce: upon a
time a man owned a steer. He wan ted
(-to use a team one day, arid. hitched
himself to a wagon alongside of the
steer. The steer became frightened
and ran away. As the curious t am
was passing, down the road at a 2:04
gait a mantiried out to the man yoked
with the steer: 'Where are' you going?'
'Don't'ax me said the man, 'ax; the
steer. - .
: "Ui course tne above yarn is as
old as the hills. We are told that
Capt. Noah used to ; kill vtime on
rainy days by telling the man and
steer story to his friends on that cel
ebrated cruise in ii ct-arch of, a patch
of earth. But the application is new
in this instance, and we repeat, "ax

all other gold advocates adnrit." that
free coinage would help the farmer.
How it would help the mechanics is
thus answered by Arthur A Parks:
"If the farmer has more, money he
will spend more money for all that
money can buymanufactured arti
cles, clothing, carriages, pianos, &c.;
his sons will be sent to city schools
and colleges; they will spend money
for clothes, boots, hats, bicyclea&c;
his daughters will be sen t seminaries
and they likewise will spend money
for? things that h I to be inade with
the hand8;of Ja6dr They will spend
dollars for these articles wheie they
how spend cents; and the work- of
providing these goods will make em
ployment This, to mr mind, is how
the masses will be benefited through
the free and unlimited coinage ' of
silver." -
