the first election after the act was
passed. That act was passed in 1869
and the Republican party carried the
Presidential election and elected a
Republican Congress in 1872, thereby
securing an endorsement of their acts
in the face of all the opposition the
Democrats could bring to bear. The
only way to rid ourselves of those
bonds is TO pay them, as the govern
ment contracted to do when it re-
fu 1ded the debt or to repudiate them.
That country is not prepared for re-
pudiation.
The peoples eyes are now open
and they see what bad legislation
has done for them. The Democratic
party can turn with pride to it's re-
cord in opposition to this legislation.
1t has opposed the unholv acts that
have blighted the industries of the
land. 1t has stopped further contrac-
ton Of the currency. 1t has made
greenbacks as good as gold and re-
stored silver to circulation. 1t has
made greenbacks receivable for Gus.
toms. Better than all it has stood
firm for the rights Of the States and
of individuals, for the government of
the constitution. If all the opposi-
ton to the money power and CEN
traliZed government will muster un-
der its banner it will succeed and
bring about the financial reforms the
people ask for, but If that opposition
is divided by an Independent Green
back party the cause of the people is
lost and the bondholder will triumph.
Mr.. Greenbacker, that is what we
want to say to you. Don't be deceiv-
ed by cheap campaign newspapers
run in the interest of q New York
Money King, for we undertake to say
that the AdUOcate is that kind of
paper, and Peter Cooper that kind of
a man. AS a Democrat we under
take to say one currency for all,
gfeenbacks for workingmen and
bondholders, no special privileges for
bondholders, corporations or work
ingmen, equality before the law for
all, and united Democratic party is
the only means by which this object
can be accomplished and then we
must have the concurrence and sup.
port of every true Greenbacker.-

Every Democratic vote given to
the National party is the gain of half
a vote to the Republicans--one vote
distracted from the Democratic col
umn and thrown away.
ltshould always be held in mind
that whatever of distress exists in this
country, because of erroneous finan.
cial or other legislation, is chargeable
solely to the Republican party.
They have enacted all the laws since
1861. They defeated the reforms
proposed and supported by the DEM
ocracy during the last two Congress
es that were defeated. To sustain
the Republicans in power, therefore,
is to sustain the very measure to
which is charged all the existing f.
nancial distress and bard times.
The way to obtain the repeal of fine
obnoxious legislation, therefore,
clearly is to vote the Democratic
ticket and defeat the Republicans
not to throw away votes upon a
third party to whom success is i'm
possible.
The Greenback or National party
may be and undoubtedly is a con-
venient and proper resting place for
disguised Republicans who are not
quite ready to come directly into the
Democratic ranks, but it will prove
a miserable sort ofpurgatory for Dem
ocrats. Patriot

THE COMING SOLAR ECLIPSE.
Fourth Return Of the Great TO-
tai Eclipse Of 1906, Pre- dicted
over ESQ Years Ago.

Perhaps many of the readers of the
New DOMINION are not aware of an
important solar event, which will oc-
cur next Monday evening, the Goth
inst.-a total observation of the sun,
visible to nearly every part of the
country. In view Of this rare event,
it may be well to call to mind a few
facts bearing directly on the subject.
Taking for granted that everybody
is aware Of the causes of and nature
of solar eclipse, we have only to
consider the following diagram { Fig.

Few people in the East have really
any idea whatever of the magnitude
to which stock raising has grown in
the West, and they win probably be
somewhat astonished to learn that
the returns for thepresent season give
California $50, 900 head, Colorado $780,
900, Utah 100000, Montana 800, 1000,
Wyoming 225,00o, Washington 2oo,-
600, and Oregon It's, 900; total of
2,440, 900 head. Taxes is estimated
to have twice as many more, making

eight millions beeves now fattening or
about to be fattened for the eastern

pearance of the last total eclipse as
seen at Des Moines, Iowa. August 7th,
1869. The dark shadow of the moon
will first strike the earth in the prov
ince of Irkoutsk, Siberia. Its course
will be at first east of northeast, then
east, and after leaving Asia, towards
the southeast 1t will enter the Unit
ed States in longitude SO degrees
west, and sweep over the western end
of Montana, Yellowstone National
Park, Colorado, Wyoming Territory,
and Northeastern Texas, entering the
Gulf of Mexico between New Orleans
and Galveston. Passing onward over
Cuba and San Domingo, it will leave
the earth little southeast of the lat
ter island.
In the United States the breadth of
the shadow will be 116 miles. On
the afternoon of next Monday, be-
tween the hours of 4 and 5, the
eclipse will be visible, as a partial
one, all over this country. 1t will be
total in the line of progress describ-
ed above. The sight, even though it
be partial one, is one of sublime
grandeur, and persons should provide
themselves with piece of glass,
evenly smoked over a tar flame,
through which to view this fourth re-
turn of the great total eclipse of June
10th, 1906. J..

Republican papers, no doubt from
the best and most disinterested of
motives, have tried to create an i'm
preston that Voorhees,, of Indiana,
would not be elected his own success

MESSRS. EDITORS Il was pleased to
see in your paper of to-day a commu-
~nication signed p. & p" addressed
to myself, in relation to Instructions
in the Neuse River to the passage of
fish. The increasing interest in the
work of the Department for stocking
our streams with food fishes is one of
many evidences that the people appre-
ciate what may possibly be accom-
plished for them in this important
matter. That our people of different
localities throughout the State NAV
know what laws have been enacted
for fostering and protecting this in
tereSt. l nave appended to my Crop
Report for May (and which | am now
receiving from the press for distribu-
tom all the laws which appear on our
statutes since 1869. These laws are
very inadequate, and they are thus
presented to our people with the hope
hat this important matter will be
duly considered..by candidates and
voters during the ensuing campaign.
A p~erusal of these laws will show p.
& p" that this Department is not en-
powered or authorized t enforce
them. The Act creating the Depart
ment makes II our duty TO hatch and
place the fish in the streams. 1t is the
duty of the Legislature t make the
laws. and the duty of the people and
local officers to enforce these laws.
The Department will assuredly do its
full duty III the matter. and it is for
such men as p. < P" to see that our
work is not fruitless. by having good
laws enacted and to see that they are
properly and faithfully enforced.
Since the only possible obstacle that
can thwart our efforts TO supply our
people with an abundance of fish, will
be in defective or lamelv enforced
laws. | hope people will impress
their representatives III the General
Assembly with the importance of
liberal, effective laws for their protec
ton.
Respectfully, L. L. POLK.

Useful PAMPHLET Col. Polk Is
interchangeable in gathering and pub
fishing information for the people.
His crop report for 1ay-contains
carefully prepared statements of the
condition of the crops in So out OF the
"a counties in the State. The emo of
these reports is almost uniformly
favorable, as to fruits, grain, grasses,
and cotton: with some threatening in
dications of rust in the wheat during
latter part of the month, and some
damage in east of Raleigh cotton belt,
by heavy rains.
But perhaps the most useful feature
of this pamphlet is a compilation of
all the game, fish, and fence laws
passed since 1869. Presented in this
collective and condensed form, they
will be convenient for study and
amendment by the people who as a
general thing are poorly informed
concerning them. AS for instance,
several correspondents of the daily
press call upon Col. Polk to clear the
streams of dams and fish traps {:
though he has no power at all in that
direction. See his card printed else
where.
