' A correspondent asks for a common-sense every day school expluna nation of the '"silver question." The "silver. question" at present is wheth er ' the mints of the United States shall coin silver dollars weighing 412$ grains as freely as they coin gold money. Any owner of gold bullion can take it to the mint and have it coined gold money into gold twenty, ten, five, two and a half dollar gold pieces at - his option, and to any amount. The same c "freedom" is sought by the silver men for the holders of silver bullion. The ob jection made to this free coinage of silver is that 412$ grains of silver are not worth 25.8 grains of gold as they once were. - In other word?, the quantity of silver it is proposed to put in the silver dollar whose coin age is to be free is not now worth 100 cents, but is worth only 66 cents. All free coinage bills make the silver dollar of 412$ grains legal tender for debts of 100 cents an obviously un just thing'to do. If free coinage, a3 advocated in Congress, meant put ting 100 cents worth of silver over 150 grams in a dollar, nobody could object to it, but there is a decided objection to making 66 cents' worth of silter pass for 100 cents. ' The silver men insist on the free coinage of the light dollar. In view of the 'above facts, is not the free coinage plankvin National Democratic Platform, a sound one ? There are more than sixty millions of people' in the United states and of that number very few have silver bullion for coinage purposes. The most natural, humane thing for the Silverman to do is toinsist on the free coinage of the light dollar. Why? Because he would thereby gain thirty four cents in every dollar, or thirty four dollars in every hundred dollars. How much has the South to coin ? This would give the silver, men a monopoly, and. enrich , the few. Democratic doctrine is equal justice to all, special favors to none. Will the reader, please, think upon this subject a little. Ought not a silver dollar be equal in value to a gold dollar ? - . THE FORGE BILL ISSUE- Scotland Neck Democrat. There is a tremendous desire on the part of liepublicans to get rid of the Force bill as an issue between the parties in the present campaign. They say it's all nonsense, and J-hat the bill is practically dead, r Wo don't know whether any of tho readers of the Democrat believe any such stuff as that proclaimed by the Republicans about it or not ; but if there should bo any, we would just like to have tho ' answers to ' two or three questions. Haa the llenublican nartv ever had anj idea of passicg the bill ? If any one finds difficulty in answering, we refer him to the Uongressionai itecom Does anyone think that the ilea has been altogether abandoned ? For an answer to this, we refer to the nation al platform, recently established at Mmnenapolis. Docs anyone think that only a few of the hot heads arc at tho bottom of the measure ? 'We refer him to Ben Harrison, Tom Reed, and a host of the greatest in the party. Republicans know very well, that, if they were to admit the truth,, it would solidify the Democratic party and mean a Waterloo to them. It is passing strange to us that some of our people can't see the trick, but believe the declarations of some Re publicans to the contrary, when wo never could, find grace enough in our hearts to believe them about any thing else. Beyond the shadow of a doubt the Force bill is a living, pulsating, throbbing issue. It is one that the coming election must decide. "The Democratic party must fight it. The Republican party must uphold it, as they will bo conducting u campaign of lying and deceit. ' The People's party mtist force it, because it will do no good to turn their backs upon the matter. We would like for some intelligent Third party man to tell us, if he thinks federal bayonets at the ballot box would aid the cause of hi3 party. We should ai30 like to know, if such a thing is according to his idea of a free ballot. If so, we can only pray that his beclouded mind may be en lightened before the Ides of Nov. Tlie issue is before us. North Carolina may decide it. Before an other election occurs, there may be the bristling - steel of the United States-army guarding the Campus Martins of our land. Democrats, do your duty; Third party men, reflect upon these things, and don't dodge the issue. - W. C. A. POLITICAL POIKTS. Gen. Bidwell says he will not take the stump, but" the chances are that he wilL never be missed "when the campaign gets fairly started. There will be no stumps to spare. Chicago Tribune. . The Indiana Democracy was never in a better condition to win than it is at present. It i3 well . organized, with an earnest, hard working cen tral committee and an active, ener getic chairman, who dosen't know what defeat looks like. Indianapo lis Sentinel. That the People's party is to be used as an adjunct of the Republican party, and that the solo result of its local victories would be toward re turning Benjamin Harrison, has been believed by students in affairs politi cal for some time. Here in Indiana the fact has been quite apparent that the third party wa being used to draw the Democrats from their old affiliations to help the Harrison tick et. Indinapolis Sentinel. Tho Democratic party is the true People's party. Any other body of men seeking to re present -themselves as such are infringing upon a patent one hundred years old. They will stand indicted .before tho people for an infrmgemeir,6Siof,the patent and a verdict against 'them will be given in November. The; Democratic party has been and is so well understood-to bo- the party of the people, that it doe3 not need to designate itself as such, but proudly points to its record under Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson, Van Buren, Polk, Pierce, Buchanan and Cleveland as to its devotion to' the interests 'of tho toil ing masses. North Carolinian.- - There cau be no doubt of a demo cratic victory in this State for the national and State tickets if demo crats will only do their duty. - Noth ing is to be gained by temporizing with men who are constantly engaged in the effort to destroy democratic integrity and democratic; unity. The idea that a victory can be won by the aid of recruitd from the enemy's camp must be discarded. It will prove a delusion and a snare. We must rely upon our own streugth. The truth must bo presented to our people, and then they may be trusted to do the rest. Tne etaudard of democracy must bo borne aloft by strong demo cratic hands or it will surely trail in tlo dust. Men who associate with error with the hope of neutralising its bad effect will soon learn that they must either follow error s or be trampled under foot by it.

HOW IT WAS ONCE. AND BO IT MAT EE AGAIN FEDERAL CON TROL OK ELECTIONS. Salisbury Herald. The editor of the Herald is hot an old man, but he has a very distinct reeolloetien of scenes under Republican rule iu North Carolina. At the timo when Canby was supreme dictator of Nerth Carolina, and when Kirk's myrmidons held sway, we saw an election htsld in the State at which a constitution was adopted. At this elcotion Toting continued for three days, and the votes cast by the people of North Carolina were carried to Charleston, S, C to be counted. At tho hame of the writer a company of negro soldiers formed a double line of guards to the ballet box, and the few white men who voted had to march in single file between them, and were com pelled: to leave the house , in an opposite direction from which, they entererd. One of the men who submitted te this indignity was nr father, and we can never forget how deeply he was humiliated. Bui this was, not all that we saw or knew of. The same company of megro soldiers who guard ed the ballot box on the occasion alluded to, while Under the direction of the Radical sheriff of the county, attempted to arrest a white citizen, and , because he refused to submit to their demands his home was burned to tho ground, himself and his son murdererd, his son - in - law .:, dtsperately wounded and his wife and daughter threat, ened with death .and inhumanly treated. Respected citizens of the county were hun ted as outlaws, and were compelled to leave home and family and seek . concealment in the swamps to save their lives, and the home of no one was considered safe. Tho negroes were incited to riot and deeds of lawlessness. The money of . the couiity was stolen and a debt piledupon the peot pie which it took years of Democratic con trol to wipe out." These arw a . few. things we saw and knew of when Republicans controlled North Carolina and when Federal bayonets were placed, behind the ballots. Although a boy at the time; the recollection of these indignities that were heaped upon the helpless people of eastern North Caro Una can sever be blotted from our memory, Better times have come to them now be. cause white men have broken th'e fetters that bound them and have driven out Re publican officers aud Federal , soldiers. While this change for the better has been effected by Democratic control there is danger of the repetition of tho outrages if the infamous force bill becomes a law. MR. WEAVER AND HIS UTTER ANCES. The candidate of the third party for pres ident has been guilty of soruo very extreme uttcranoes in regard to the Southern peo ple, such as should deter every Southern voter from thinking about voting for him. No man whs talks a Mr. Weaver is repre. sen led by the following extracts should ever .be president of this country. He ought not to hold any kind of an office. Tho following is an extract from the. Con gressional Reeordof July 11, 1888 ; - The clerk read as follows : lie baid in a : joint debate with II. 41. Tumble, at Bloom tie Id, , on September 4, 1808: Hera we have the old fight over again.

Charge on them, fellow-republicans, aud spare not one, not even a deputy read supervisor, from total political annihilation.. Laugh ter on the republican side. ' He said in Keokuk, Sept. 1C, 1871 : - The record ol the republican party, ap peals to the candid judgment of all men as unimpeachable, .save, perhaps,' that it was toe lenient with the leading democratic conspirators.

Woe . to them 1 for the loyal hosts will crush them forever and for ever out of all possible dagger of BUch a misfortune to our common country." He said in Oakalooaa, September 25th, 1882: ' , , - "No republican oan ever, under any cir. cumstaneea, have any part or lot with the hungry, rebellious xuan-hating, womao elling gang cor po rated under the nam of democracy, a name so full of utench and poison: tht it should be blotted from the vocabulary of civilized man aud handed over to the barbarism that it so fitly now and in all the past has represented" w Pro longed applause on the republican side lie said at Utiles, September 11, 187:1, In referring to the financial policy of the dem ocratic party : "But then. wLat could von expect rrom Ihe poor, blind, diseased, decrepit, dismal, damned old democratio party f" Prolonged laughter on the republioau side, J . He said at CenterviUe in 1867 : "Again has the democratic party f Iowa spoken, Wby, sir, I : am astouUbed be yond measure that a party with a tecord bo utterly vile and wretched aud wicked thould b so lost to all shame and decency as to make an appearaiiee bafore th 9 loyal people of Iowa.

HEAD OF PUNGO. - That section of counfrrr called the Head of Pungo is known to exist, but just' what kind of a place it in puzzles the minds of those who never saw it. Some are inclined to think that it 5a oat of civilization that its quietude is disturbed only by the voice of turtle or frog, that it is a place where nth,' lag but oora will grow and that men- have to go armed all the time to keep oil wild beast. We have never visited Ibis section, bat from what we have seen, of the people we are inclined to believe that Fun 40 is a good, place and that its inhabitants are the happiest people living. Here is what one the residents says about it : , Mr. Editor. Imprebsed with the idea that a letter from the Head of Pungo would' be interesting to the many readers of yonr valuable paper and would be the means of establishing in the minds of tho interested an idea ef what has beet assigned to m by the omnipotent band of Providence, I will give you a few points, . Pungo has no charms for the fantastic, no inducements for the progressive, but as a benefactor to the appetite it excells the State. ; North Carolina, notable for its old. time amuuements, stands first in the annals of American history, and he whose foot has never pressed the sod around Pungo cannot conceive, by the aid of ialse repre. sentation, a pioture disclosing the magui. tudtf and graddure that . characterizes the Head of Pongs. Way baok iu this isolate region, where the yelp of hounds are the repeated melodies by day and the dulcet hooting of the owl is all that disturbs the peaceful slumbers by night, reside a peo ple so perminent in their determination , to prosecute the good old time thing religion of the Canon Alea and his ancestors, that tne world with all its facinatiug allurement wiH never be an impediment Jo the ideas that we have cuHminatd in onr minds. Lt the world wag as it may, we'll remain the same still.- Yes, if on any page of our bis tor there is a foundation upon which our hopes may be secure, it is in that we attain in stnot observance and never eeuse to ful. low oat the foot prints of our progenators. who perpetuated for ns a confederation that cannot be affected by - the arititocratia de. porlment of a progressive world. We never learned to read latin, know but little about astronomy aud as for sintax we don't care a cent, but when it comes to Mining corn yu can put us down one. ' , T D. M..C.

But human endurance has its limit,' and, as the torturing lorguettes, with the pretty girl's eyes behind them, came to hie face once more, he made a wild, impulsive dive for the rear platform and, with one horri fied look over his suontder, only to see them calm and cruel as. ever, he dashed from the car aud was lost iu tfle crowd.

That the democracy cf North Carolina reafHrra. the principles of the domocratic party, both State and natio nal, and particularly favor the free coinage ' of silver aud an iacrease of the currency, and the repeal of the internal revenue system. And we deuounoe the McKinhy " tariff bill as unj 1st to the consumers of the country, and leading to the formation of trusts, combinei , and mooupolie which have oppresh-ed the people ; and especially di we denounce the mint century and bur densome inorease in the tax on cotton t: -and on tin, so largely used by the poor portion of the people. We likewise da nounoe the inequitous foroe bill, whieh ii not yet abandond by th republican party, but is being urged as a measure t I adopted as toon as they regain eontrol cf the House of Representative!, the purpose) and effect of which measure will be to es tablish a second period of reconatruetin ia the Southern States, to subvert tha'libertta of our people and inflame a new race an. tagonism and sectional animosities. . 2. That we demand financial reform, and the enactment ef laws that will remov the burden of the people relative to the exiuting agricultural rla full and ample justice to the farmers sad laborers of our couutry. 3. That we demand the abolition f national banks, and the substitution oflctl tender treasury notes in lieu of national -bank notes, issued in tufflcient volume t do the business of the country on a et&h. system, regulating the amount needed ca a per capita basis as the business interests of the country expand, and that all money issued by the government shall be legal tender in payment of all debts, both publia and private. .-, - - 4. That we demand that Congress ahal! pass 8ucn taws as shall enectnally prevent the dealing ia futures of all agricultural and mechanical productions ; providing such stringent system of procedure in trial as shall secure prompt convistion and im posing such penalties as shall secure nasi perfect compliance with the law. 5.

We) bulieve that the money of the country should be kept as much as possible ia the hands of the people, and hence we demand that all revenue, national, State or county, shall be limited to the necessary expenses of the government economically and boa estly administered. 8. That Congress issue a ftufSoitnt amount of fractional paper currency to facilitate the exchange through the mediiira of the United States mail. . ' Hesolved,' That, the General Assembly pass such laws as will make' the public bchool system mere effective that the bles sings of education may be extended to all the people of the State alike.
