The Democrat. (Scotland Neck, Halifax Co., N.C.) 1884-1896, 1891-06-18
MR.. KITCHENS VIEWS.
(CCmuu1Icated.l

AS the democratic organization
has been aud ougbt to be the PEG
pies party, and as 1t is bottoned on
the motto OF equal rights to al! and
special privileges to none, as well as
the greatest good to the greatest nam
Der, we can see no Fundamental diff
ference between that organizations
and the Alliance organization. And
if the members of both organization
are honest in their professions and
declarations, we can see no reson Tor
any division between them. The
"modus operandi' by which eac b
thinks relief ought to come about is
no cause for any Earring between
them. There may be dozen roads
to reach RALEIGH, and as many in
diyiduals may desire to reach that
point and each individual may de-
sire to 60 his way believing it to be
the best, the cheapest and quickest.
All can not be right. Some must be
wrong. They meet, discuss the
ways, and fl oally agree to go to-geth-
er to the city that they may aid each
other on the journey in pushing mp
the hills and crossing the streams.
This is right.
Why can we not sct thus in this
state In regard to the issues now
pending before the public? Every
body wants lower taxes and less bur
dens except the manufacturers, for
whose benfll the excess Of taxes are
levied. Now we are all together on
this issue, except the benefciaries.
ne all want more money in cireula>
tion so that we can borrow at a
cheaper rate of interest and get bet
ter prices for the surplus we have to
sell, except the money-lender. He,
of course, wants money to be very
scarce and the rate Of interest very
high, because here is his profit and
his pound of flesh.
So l conclude, leaving out the
money lender, we are together on
this question. We all want good
dollar which will bay as much beef
calico, or meat as Rothsch,ld's gold
dollar will. SO we must be together
still. No one wants rag money I'm.
less it will pay debts, discharge
money and contract obligations and
bring as much as Vanderbilt's. gold
money. So we are still all in the
same boat, except Rothschild and
Vanderbilt who say their gold dol
lar Is better money, worth more and
will buy more than our silver and
paper dollars.
Can there be any QUARREL a
mongst Us on this issue? This is
and has been the slogan of both the
democrats and alliance men from the
beginning; that the poor mans dollar
ought to be the same as the rich
mans dollar and ought to buy as
much. Can there be any difference
betwixt US on the coinage of silver!
There ought not to be if we are hon
est. For more than ninety years in
this country silver dollar of the
daddles was the equal in value TO the
gold dollar Of he dsddies.
The gold dollar is the same to da,
it was one hundred years ago in Its
velue or purchasing power. Why
should not the silver dollar be anG
remain the same? These are sim
pie questions and easily answered
If il were not for the spectators
gamblers and public plunderers, sill :
yer, 412! grains and % Ito grains
would to day be on a parity, the one
equal to the other. We all ought to
be in favor of free coinage of silver
the silver owner paying the expense
of coinage.
If there is or can be any difference
between US on this issue, the respon.
slbility will be on the democratic
side and not on the Alliance side,
