THE OBSERVER F A YETTE VILLE. N. C. THURSDAY. APRIL 30. 1896. E. J. HALE, Editor and Proprietor. E. J. HALE, Jr., Basinets Manager. THE NEW CONVERT NO. Let us continue to dissect Mr. Hender son's remarkable letter. Mr. Henderson says "Ever Democratic speaker will defend him Mr. Cleveland this Fall." No they won't. The man who defends Mr. Cleveland proclaims himself not a good Democrat. No man can be considered a true and loyal Demo crat who, while holding office at the hands of the Democracy, as is the case with Mr. Cleveland, refused, for personal reasons, to vote for th6 regular nominee ot his party for Governor of his own State. No man can be considered a true and loyal Democrat who sends his cabinet officers, as Mr. Cleveland has done, into Kentucky, Georgia and Illinois, for the purpose of stirring up strife in the Democratic party, and who has backed the bolters in the former State, as Mr. Cleveland has done, against the party's regular, nominee, Mr. Blackburn. No man can be consideredja true and loyal Democrat who invokes, as Mr. Cleveland invoked in the Venezuela matter, one of the obsolete Alien and Sedi tion laws in order to abridge the freedom of the press. No man can be considered a true and loyal Democrat who deliberately violates his party's platform, as Mr. Cleve land did when he refused to sign the Dem ocratic bill repealing the McKinley law, and when he allowed Democratic control of the law-making department of the gov ernment to expire without recommending the double monetary standard which that platform declares to be the immutable Democratic doctrine. And the Demo cratic speaker who undertakes to defend such a man will read himself out of the party as Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Carlisle have done. Mr. Henderson says: "A man can be a good Democrat and hold whatever views he pleases on the money question." No he can't. The Democratic party in na tional convention has taken a stand on the money question, and by that act it fixed the money question as a political question. It laid down the law on the subject of silver and gold in its platform adopted at Chicago in 1892. It declared that silver must be accorded equal privileges with gold at the mints Mr. Cleveland 'is op posed to that, and so we now understand Mr. Henderson to be. They are therefore without, the pale of the Democratic party on the leading political issue of the day. Democrats may differ as to the details of the method by which the Democratic law is to be carried out, but no man can re tain his place in the party who declares himself in opposition to the party law on the question that is to be the chief one in the impending campaign. It is not neces sary to drive him out: he has already taken himself out. Finally, our new convert shows that he hasn't mastered even the rudiments of the subject he so voluminously writes about when he quotes, as if it were an argument on his side, the following statement made by Senator Jones, of Nevada, (another Populist, by the way, and a colleague of Mr. Peffer, whom Mr. Henderson has quoted as embodying in his own person the whole stock of the world's authority on the subject of the moral qualities) when he quotes the following statement made by Senator Jones i at the Brussels Monetary Conference in December, 1892, silver were remonetized. even bv international agreement, at the relation so long maintained by French law, there would be a sudden iar, which would be generally felt .throughout business and commercial circles. This is a wholly groundless fear and arises from mis apprehension. All the silver in the world is now coined and is now in full use as money. There is not in existence any stock of uncoined silver to be presented at the mints.1' And Mr. Henderson guilelessly asks : "What is the use of free coinage if we are to get no more money T" That is a stumbling block to the tyro, but it ought not to be to Mr. Henderson. "Free coinage" is the popular name for the free and unlimited access of silver to the mints, there to be coined into standard (or measuring) money that is to say, also, money of final redemption. Unless a coin possesses this necessary attribute of money, it is not a whit better (in the relation under discussion) than a bit of shell or iron or paper would be, or than a greenback is. In fact, it is not nearly so useful as a greenback. But when silver is put on an equality with gold as a money of final redemptionin other words, if Mr. Cleveland would obey the law and redeem treasury notes with silver, or gold, at the government's option and it should be accorded free and un limited coinage, as the party law com mands, instead of being bought as a com modity as under the Sherman makeshift, then the stock of real money, upon which the huge superstructure of credit money rests, would be doubled, and prices would recover their normal level, and business would be brisk, and railroads be built again, and the masses of the people enjoy their due share of the blessings which this virgin land ought to bestow equally upon all.
