The number of lives lost by steamboat acci-
dents is truly appalling. In less than three years
it is computed that about Two thousand persons
have thus suddenly been hurried to their graves.
The National Gazette says that during the year
1886, upwards of three hundred and fifty were
thus cut off; in 1887, six or seven hundred met
their deaths in the same way; and that already
within the six months of 1888, quite thousand,
or nearly that number, have been thus killed.
Al the same ratio what will not be the startling
result before the year is ended? And is there no
remedy for all this ?-Baltimore Republican.

Mr.. EDITOR Lincoln county is truly demo
cratic, and / hope she will continue so. We have
few bank whig federalists among US but their
true political character is known, and they are
looked upon as the enemies of equal rights
The bank has again taken the field, resolved to
conquer or die. Henry Clay, the Bank Auor-
ney, comes out boldly in its support. We do not
believe his assertion that we cannot get along
without National Bank, nor that majority OF
the people of the United States are in favor of
such monster-for if we get another institution
OF the sort fastened upon US, we may bid farewell
TO liberty, and shake hands with despotism-
But I hope God intends better things for our
country.
think the question before the people is, are
we 70 be governed by corporate body, the mem
bers of which we have no voice in choosing, and
over whom we have no control, or by men OF
our own selection, under the constitution ? The
answer is plain, and hope the people will give
it-let the people govern themselves and not the
banks govern the people.
think the chartering Of bank upon the plan
generally adopted, is contrary to the spirit and
letter of our constitution, and repugnant to JUS
tice and equity. The constitution forbids that
any man or set of men shall enjoy exclusive or
separate emoluments or privileges. except for
public services. What public services have the
members of these corporate bodies rendered the
community? The granting of these privileges is
plainly contrary to equal rights. 1t is contrary
to justice; for the present plan onl y makes the
stockholders accountable to the nett amount of
their stock, while they have three times the
amount of notes out in the country. and are thus
only accountable for one third part Of them
Now who can say that this is not unjust, and a
fraud upon the community. to all intents and pur-
poses?
But some say that no one pays interest to the
banks except the borrower. But where does
the borrower get his interest--does he not get it
from the people2 And who, l ask, is The bor-
rower-is he not generally the specuator 2-and
he must make his interest and live into the bar
gain2 At any rate his interest and principal
must be paid, and where is it to come from q
1t comes from the laborer, for every thing is up
held by labor, which is the bone and sinew of
our existence.
But we are told by the opposition, that Ma
tional Bank would be an accommodation that
i! would regulate the State Banks and the cur
rency. Now this is more than it ever has done.
When the United States Bank was in full opera
tion. the bills of some Of the State Banks were
SO per cent, under par, and some less and some
more, and all under United States bills and specie.
So the poor laboring men were then under the
necessity of giving q high price for specie. when
wanted Gold and silver are the currency and
the proper regulators thereof, and not bank paper,
which can be made plenty or scarce, at the plea
sure OF the maker. A LOCKER ON.

Republican NIeetin

After the candidates had made their speeches
house of Mr.. John McCullers, in the county o
Wake, on the 3Oth June. 1888, at 8 o'clock, P. NJ
proclamation was made requesting the Democra
tic Republicans to convene in a large upper
room in the building of Mr. McCullers In a
few minutes the room was filled to crowd
On motion, capt Simon Smith was called to
the chair, and Henry A. McCullers, esq appoint
ed Secretary. The meeting being organized
the following Preamble and Resolutions were
adopted,
The democratic republicans are adnonished
by the extraordinary efforts of their political
opponents to unite one man in their exerlions
and zeal to sustain the Republican Institutions
of our country. The signs of the times call a.
loud for our vigilance, unanimity and untiring
energies. to battle successfully against our enc
my; who elated and encouraged by recent sue
cesses in other States now push forward in solid
phalanx to carry North Carolina. Shall they do
it? Will the republicans of the old North State
suffer themselves to be dictated to and governed
by moneyed Aristocracy? Shall lawless mo-
neyed corporations direct and control our polit-
ical lnsitutions-or shall the people continue in
the free enjoyment of their Constitutional hber-
ty2 This is the true question upon which the
two great political parties of our country have
joined issue and this is the question upon which
we must decide at the August elections. Do
any say or think we are mistaken2 Let them
but take retrospective view Of parties for the
last six or eight years. Let them look at the
speeches of the opposition in Congress-lett them
look at the and doctrines of the leaders Of
that party through the country-let them con
slider who they are and what they are, who are
so active and so vociferous against the Admins
traton and then. diUested of party prejudice, let
them read with attention the speech of Senator
Allen from Ohio, IA native of N. c. delivered
in February last on the Sub-Treasury Bill, and
we feel confident they will, nay they must ad-
mt that the struggle is now whether the Banks
or the People shall rule. Being ourselves un-
