The tlorpfanton Heiolationi.
the Silver Convention held at Mor
eanton od Monday. Major James W. Wil
sou chairman of the Resolutions com -pitteo
presented the following, which
Were adopted with but one dissenting
voice: ;
i That the interest and happiness or
pverv producer, laborer add debtor in the
1 nd is largely bound up in and dependent
noon the triumph of the silver cause, and
the consequent overthrow of the wicked
lud unconstitutional method .devised by
the minions of capital to destroy the work
of our fore-fathers and fasten upon us the
single gold standard of England.
9 That while we are assembled neither
to severold party ties nor to form new
ooes, we believe, that in the coming cam-
jrn the question, whether the mints of
this country shall be opened for the coin
age cf stiver, in the ratio of 16 to 1 and to
their full capacity, will be considered by
neoDle devoted to agriculture as para
mount to all other issues, and that farmers,
wbO nave reil me curse ul iuo siuio sinuu-
ard shrinkage in the diminished values
of their homes, and in the inadequate re
muneration of their toil, will not tolerate
an attempt on the part of any party to
deceive them with janus-faced planks jn
their platform or uncertain or deceptive
deliverances upon this vital subject.
3. We ask uo novel legislation, we ad
vocate no financial experiment, we urge
no new policy, but desire and design to
reinstate the law in force from the time of
Washington to the time of Grant, and in
sist, that money good from the days of
Abraham till the financial reign of John
Sherman will maintain its parity in the
old ratio, if the hand of hostile legislation
and unfriendly administration be once re
moved. 4. We denounce as unjust, unprecedent
ed and oppressive the attempt to fix the
pold standard upon us at a cost of $2C3,
000,000 of interest-bearing bonds in a sin
gle year, and we condemn ' all persons in
authority in ever' department of the
governmeut, who have lent their influence
to this wicked scheme to further enslave
the people by subjecting their land and
labor to such a mortgage and to deprive
them of the power to resist the sway of
National banks by a needless reduction of
the currency issued by the government.
But we commend to public confidence the
gallant defenders of the white metal the
money of the poor man and tho producing
nations who in tvhe Senate of the Uuited
States have withstood the temptations of
patronage and the abuse of that portion of
the press controlled by capital, and have
ndhered with fidelity to the cause of the
people.
5. We cannot close our eyes to the fact,
that popular indignation has been justly
aroused against the policy of the present
administration in discrediting silver and
enhancing the value of gold and allying
itswlf with the leaders of the party nomi
nally opposed to it to carry out its plans.
We believe that the revolt against our
own State governmenCthe overthrow of
those iu power in Maryland, and the
marked changes in political sentiment in
other States are unmistakeable evidences
or a purpose to rebuke the disposition iu
high places to yield to the dictation of
banks and chambers of commerce in the
administration of the financial affairs of
tne government.
0. We denounce as an effort to mislead and
derive the people of North Carolina any
jWempt to compromise by providing for a
limited coinage, confined to a fixed amount
wto thn product of the mines of the
ortnwest, because of the fact, that our
interest as an agricultural people depends
not upon consuming the output of pai ticu
r mines, but upon doubling the amount
v.in dempctl0D money and restoring the old
labor Ur lands, Ur Crop3 and our
J' W solemnly pledge our best efforts
f;mote the restoration of silver to the
onit. ? P.erformed by it before the ini
on l!f S lelslHtion of 1873, reserving to
urseiVeS the right to exercise our best
ment as to the means of accomplish
the IT end We believe. that in pursuing
follnrse marked out f r ourselves we are
of th!T ln the foot-steps of the foremost
ie 7 u i pJ?ns ot Popular rule in Amer
those l0D B' Dce, and we invoke for
ofdnLUF-on whom may devolve the duty
future aS the cause of the people in
a double portion of his spirit,- .
not'rnli- nounce as unjust and false, if
toahci, the charge of the partisans
of a single gold standard, 'that this meet
ing was called or is held to.promote the
interest of , any one political party of the
past, present or future. We call upon our
critics to answer at the bar of public senti
ment, whether they approve of the policy
of issuing over two hundred millions of
bonds in a time of profound peace in pay
ment of coin certificates gathered and pre
sented by banks and syndicates, when the
honest toilers employed by every depart
ment of the government are paid in the
dollars that combined capital is seeking to
dishonor.
The correspondent of the Raleigh News
and Observer -comments as follows upon
the convention:
The convention was a success in every
way, and represented the aggressive silver
sentiment of this county. The people here
are thoroughly aroused, and the Democrats
of the county are going to send a strong
delegation to the State convention. "No
straddling and no gold bugs," is Burke's
cry. . " -
Among those who took part in the con
vention were Burke's two last Representa
tives in the Legislature Mr., Julius Huf
ham and Col. C. Houk, true and tried dem
ocrats. Such old fashioned ' democrats as
Maj. Wilson, Dr. Jeter, Mark Winters,
John fl. Pearson, ex-Sheriff Lackey and
hundreds of others were here.

Hopd's Sarsaparilla peculiarly adapted
to their needs. ; It makes pure, rich,
red blood, and from this comes nerve,
mental, bodily and digestive strength.
"Iam glad to Bay that Hood's Sarsapa
rilla is a very good medicine, especially
as a blood purifier. It has done me good
many times. For several years I suffered
greatly with pains of
in one eye and about my temples, es
pecially at night when I had been having
a hard day of physical and mental labor.
I took many remedies, but found help only
in Hood's Sarsaparilla which cared me of
rheumatism, neuralgia and headache.
Hood's Sarsaparilla has proved itself a true
friend. I also take Hood's Pills to keep
my bowels regular, and like the pills
very much." Isaac Lewis, Sabina, Ohio.

From LaGrippe.
How Dr. Miles Nervine Restored
One of Kentucky's Business
Men to Health.
No DISEASE has ever presented so many
peculiarities as LaGrippe. No disease
leaves its victims so debilitated, useless,
sleepless, nerveless, as LaGrippe.
Mr. P. W. Hilton, state acrentof the Mut
ual Life Insurance Co., of Kentucky, says:
"In 1889 and '90 I had two severe attacks
of LaGrippe, the last one attacking my ner
vous .system with such severity that my life
was despaired of. I had not slept for more
than two months except by the use of nar
cotics that stupefied me, but gave me no
rest. I was only conscious of intense mental
weakness, agonizing bodily pain and the
fact that I was hourly growing weaker.
When in this condition. I commenced using
Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine. In two days
I began to Improve and in one month's time
I was cured', much to tho surprise of all who
knew of my condition. I have been in ex
cellent health since and have recommended
your remedies to many of my friends."
