THE OBSERVER. FAYETTEVILLE. n. c. gAtdRDAV. JUNE 13. 1896 E. J. HALE. Editor and Proprietor. E. J. HALE, Jr., Busineu Manager. THE TRUE PLAN. Every day brings evidence that the drift of circumstances is forcing the Dem ocratic party in the counties to adopt the identical plan for recovery of. power which the Observer so persistently urged upon the party in the State at large a year ago. That is, to invite the Populists back with the simple requirement that they vote the State and county tickets, andle free? to act as circumstances required in re spect to the national ticket if we should fail to give them " a silver candidate for President on a silver platform. The plan was adopted by the New Hanover execu tive committee the other day and is being largely followed in the other counties. The Observer proposed that plan as the substitute as well as the antidote to fusion, (to which the Observer was radically op posed.) It seems, as we look back now, incredible that sane men shoulJ have ob jected to our proposition. We were in the minority because of the desertion of the Populists. A minority, so long as it re mains a minority, is valueless. How could a minority be changed that was the problem that has confronted us ever since '92, certainly ever since '94 how could a minority be changed back to a majority? Plainly, by securing recruits from the majority. What recruits! There was no other field than that of our late brethren and co-workers, the Populists. A Re publican, of course, could not become a Democrat, because they differ radically. If these things be so, by what means could we secure a union with our former brethren? Manifestly in one of but two ways: Either we must fuse, or we must induce a sufficient number of Populists to return to our own party. The Observer was opposed to fusion, in toto, because it necessitated (1) a sacrifice of principle to some degree, and (2) it tended to per petuate the very system which has been defeating the Democratic party, viz: the trading between factions of the party for the spoils of office. Events have drifted, and. here we are in the midst of the campaign with no plan agreed upon for a State policy. If wisdom rules the hour, it is not too late yet to recover the lost opportunity. Fortune has greatly favored us in the nomination of Russell and in the probab ility that Chicago will declare for silver. Let the convention at Raleigh that meets on the 25th inst, address itself to measures for recovering the rank and; file of the Populists and bringing out the kicking Democrats. This may necessitate a radi cal change in the management of the party; but it remains certain that a minority can not win an election, and the management should be willing to sacrifice itself in order to save the party and the State. "To Disorganize the Regular Democratic Party. Charlotte Observer. We haye received from some unknown friend a copy of a silver circular, printed on the letter head of the "American Silver Organization,". Mr. J. J. Mott, chairman, Corcoran building, Washington. The date of the circular is not . given, nor is it sign ed, so that we donot know who issues it, nor is it exactly clear to whom it is issued; but the following paragraph, bearing upnn the.silver convention to. be held at St; Louis on the 21nd of July, has more that a passing interest: , "If this convention is so organized in the different States; of the South especially, it Will tend to disorganize the regular Dem ocratic party in those States, and will force the conviction - upon the politicans that they must act independently for silver or go out of politics." ' There is nothing particularly new in this but it has its value as cumulative evidence. We have long ago discerned in many of the free, coiners what we conceive to be a greater desire to disrupt the Democratic party in the Southern States than to pro mote the cause of free coinage. In the quotation, above, from this circular, noth ing, it will be observed, is said about using the silver wedge to split the Republican party in the West. The confessed con sideration is to "disorganize the regular Democratic party" in the South. Free coinage men who are still sincerely Democrats would do well to keep their eyes on some of their allies, The Cause of Heavy Declines in Bank Clearings. Baltimore Sun.l For a year, at least among Democrats, the main interest centered around Mr. Cleveland, and the query in the mouth of every one was, What will he do ? News papers in various sections, of prominence and influence, were calling upon Mr. Cleveland day by day to enunciate his po sition. Senators and members on the Democratic side were intensely anxious to catch some sound from him as to his intentions, for it seemed to be an accepted fact that the question of the Presidential nomination must hinge to a great degree upon Mr. Cleveland's wishes and inten tions. Frequent efforts were made by persons who visited the White House to draw some expression from Mr. Cleveland which would indicate tlje position he pro posed to occupy. All this interest has vanished. The present situation renders, so it is said, the attitude of Mr; Cleve land altogether inconsequential. The con trol of the Chicago convention, which, it is now conceded, will rest in the hands of men who are largely his personal enemies and who are diametrically opposed to him on the issues which the country will be called to pass upon in November, makes this certain. Therefore the name of Mr. Cleveland will be , eliminated absolutely from all calculations or speculations as to the Democratic nominee. , , i MONUMENTS -AND TOMBSTONES BUILT, CLEANED AND POLISHED IN MOST ARTISTIC STYLE.

New York Financial News A business man can at any time easily ascertain for himself by referring to the Manual of Statistics if the bank clearings J of, say, five years back were greater or less than in 1895. What most always a merchant, a bauker, or speculator desires to know is the real cause or causes that have effected any important changes in bank clearings. Referring to this subject The Journal of Commerce says: "I be year 1891 was without any national election, and it was immediately after the enact ment of a tariff law that was to keep for eign goods out of the country and usher in prosperity; but it was a bad year fot business, and the bank clearings dropped off nearly four billions.7' Then came (in 1893) the panic and a heavy fall for two years. Referring to the first part of the above quotation, it is generally admitted by those familiar with the laws that gov ern commeree, finance and exchange that we bad reached the culminating point of active trade and high prices in 1891, which commenced in 1889, and was greatly bene fited by the enactment of the Sherman bill, by slightly increasiug the volume of money real money accelerated trade to quite some extent; in fact, some of our prom inent financiers claim that the only thing that saved this country from this panic which was sweeping over Europe in 1891 was the knowledge that the volume of monev was increasing at the rate of $4, 500,000 a month, r Reading between the lines of the article from The Journal of Commerce it will be observed that it desires to give the im pression that the tariff was the cause of the heavy declines in bank clearings, that it was due to the change of the tariff. . As to the heavy fall ia clearings for two years (1894 and 1895), they were due to the in conceivable and monstrous crime of con tracting the currency when a brave and energetic people were going through a period of liquidation, struggling against fate, and from which they have not vet recovered. The great masses of our peo ple to-dav, however, are determined that henceforth there shall be no more contrac tion of the volume of money, but an ex pansion, which means civilization and prosperity to all.
