We are here to tell the truth as we see it,
and the sun ia not clearer ia fee Heavens
than that Weaver ias not a ghost f a
ohanoe to be President f the United States
But why should a southern farmer desire
to vote for Weaver instead of Cleveland.
He said in. Keokuk, SepC43, .871.: ,
"The record of the Eepublioan partv ap.
peals to the eaadid judgement wall men aa
uaimpeaohable, save, perhaps, that it was
too lenient with the leadiag Demoeratio
conspirators. The same old ; gang, save
those who were shot or hung, are aeaio
conspiring to get possossioif ol the govern
tnent next vear. , Woe to them 1 for loyal
hosts will crush them forever and forever
out ef all possible danger of suou a misfor.
tune to our oommon country." .
He said in Oskaloosa, September 25th,
1873? " . . ,tm
"No Republican canever, under ' any 'eir.
oumstanoes. have any part or lot with the

poison that it should be blotted from the
vocabulary of civilized man and handed

and in all the past' has represented.' ;
Home and Farm has expressed the opia
ion that either. Harrison or Cleveland woald
be the next President and that the people
must choose one or the other," This brought
the following response from a subscriber,
whose name we suppress out of considera
tion for his family : . t
"To sav that the people must ehoose be-
tween Harrison aad Clevelaad,'ndUhem

On the contrary if Harrison carilea th

New York and Indiana, he may still be
elected, if Democrats ia the- South divide
their votes and give Virginia, West Virginia
North Carolina. South Carolina, Georgia,
Tennessee or Texas to the Republicans.
The only thing that can possibly defeat
Harrison is a uaited Demiieracy. But by
dividing our strength we may enable Har
rison to capture some Southern States, and
thus elect him. This is our far and no
well informed man ean say it is groundless.
We believe in the sincerity aad 'patriot.

are seeking what we are seeking too relief

. ENDING AT THE END.
A man goes up stairs at night in the dark
He has a pitcher of icewater m his hand.
After he reaches the top step he lifts up his
foot as if there were another steo there.
Upon finding that there are no steps, he
puts his right foot down rather disappoint
edly on a level with his left foot and splashes
some of the ice water upon his sleeve, his
vestjor his slipper. ; ;
there is a moral to this. It is alwavs
welf to stop when you reach the end of a
thing. When a man is preaching, it is best
for him to stop when he has reached the
end of hli sermon. If he stops just a little
before the end, all the. better, sometimes.

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
The following ia the State Demo-
cratic platform aa adopted by the
State convention assembled Mgty 18 :
Resolved, 1. That the democracy of
North Carolina reafurm the principles of
the democratic party, both State and natio
nal, and particularly favor the free coinage
of silver and an increase ' of the eurrenoy.
and the repeal of the internal revenue
system. Aad we denounee the McKinley
tariff bill as unjust to the consumers of the
country and leading to the formation of
trusts, combines and monopolies which
have oppressed the people : and especially
do we denounce the unnecessary and bur
denseme increase in the tax on cotton tios
and on tin, so largely used by the poorer
portion of . the people. We likewise dV
ueunce the inequitous foree bill, which is
not yet abandoned by the republican party,
but is being urged as a measure to be
adopted as toon as they regain control of
the House of Representatives, the purpose
and aifect of which measure wU be to es
tablish a second period of reconstruction in
the Southern StaUs, to subvert the liberties
of our people and inflame a 'new race an.
tagonism and sectional animosities. -
2. iuat. we demand financial reform,
and the enactment of laws that will remove
the burden of the people relative to the
existing agricultural deprcsuion, and do
full and, ample justice to the farmers and
laborers cf our. country v .-
3. mat., we demana me abolition, or
national banks, and the substitution of legal
tender treasury notes in lieu of national
bank notes, issued in nffleient volume to
do the business of the country on a eash
system, regulating the amount needed on
a per capita basis as the buiness interests
ot the country expand, aud that all money
issued by, the government shall be legal
tender in payment of all debts, both, public
and private. '
r 4 'that we demand that Congress shall
pass such laws as khall ffoCtoally prevent
the -dealing in , futures of all agricultural
and - machanloal productions ; providing
such stringent sstem of procedure in trials
as shall secure prompt conviction and im
posing buch penalties as shail secure most
perfect compliance with the law.
. 6. That we demand the fre and unlimi
ted oolnage of silver. .. . ; 'I!', r.
i ft. That we domand the passage of laws
prohibiting the alien ownership of land,
and that Congruns take early steps to devine
some plan to obtaiu ail land now owued.
by alien aud foreign syndicates and that
all lauds now held by railroads and other
corporation?, in nicest of such as is aetu
aliy used aud needed by them, be reel&imed
by the government and held for actual
settlers only,
-j 7. - Believing in the doctrine of "equal
rights to all and special privileges to none,"
w demand that taxation national or State,
shall not be used to build up one interest
or class at the expense of another. . - We
blive that . th money of the country
should be kept as much aa -possible in the
hands of the people, and hence wo demand
that all rvnue. national. State or 'county,
shall be limited to the necessary expenses
of the government economically and hon
estly administered.
- feV That Congress issue a sulloient
amount of fractional paper currency to
facilitate the exchange through the medium
of the united States mail. . -,
Resolved, That the General Assembly
paBs such laws at will make the public
school system more effvetivo that the bles
sings of eduoation may be extended to all
the people of the State alike.
'that we demand a graduated tax on in
comes. . " -1

While the prioe of an artiole ia lanrelv

- In regard. to the present low price of
cotton there is however a further sue-paa. - '
tion. The price of that aVtiole is fixed ia
England. The English manufacturers find
their produots now excluded, from the
Amerioan markets, and therefore thev are
not inolined to ' take any risks by giving -liberal
prioos fjr Taw American cotton.
This exolnsion of their goods was virtually
effected by the last Republican tariff, passed
by the lteed Congress. And it is note,
worthy that beginning with that time the .
pries of cotton went down ' to its ; present
very low pride. Such may have been on
of the elements e uterine into the price of
our Southern staple, affecting it to disss- .
trousiy. . , v . .
But what do tho Republican leaders who .
are leagued with the manufacturers care for
that ?
We asked them to take the duty off off
cotton ties; bnt, instead. tbey increased .
that outragsous tax on our Southern farm
era. The last House repoaled the tax. but
the Republican Senate threw the bill over- '

A GRAND PICTURE-
Wlbon Adraoce.
What grander picture does American
history present, than that of Grover Cleve
land, j as he. stood in the presence of hie
sage ebunscllora who would . warn him of
.the disastrous effct ef his veto of the pen-
sion bill and of his advocacy of tariff reform '
upon his prospect as tne prooaoie candi
date of his party for the presidency ? .
in mil vuw of tbe root that the one
aroused the indignant opposition of the
grand army of the republic and that the
other would bring dwn upon him the
crushing weight of the manufacturing in.
lereots cf the aorth, he replied:
VUenttemeu, l Have given these matters
thorough consideration, I have done right.
I. am willing to accept the consequences
for myseir and my party. In what I have
done,, I have had in my mind one mas.
who has been oppressed, bowed down, wjll
nigh ruined by taxation that lam is the
Americau fanner." ,
