GENTLEMEN, STICK TO YOUR
DEMOCRACY.

Touching the lessened power
of the Alliance in Alabama, Col.
Wood, of that state, says: cit
is due chiefly to the press and
largely to the bold, able and per-
sistant course of w. w. Screws,
editor Of the Montgomery Adver-
tiser, who IS not only one of the
best political writer's in the South
but also one of the shrewdest
politicians. l would not detract
from Col. Oats who has done
much in the cause, and other abb
public men, but Screws has prin-
TED all they said and his own
views besides. He began early
and has kept it up. 1t was life
or death, because if he had given
up he would have lost the conf
dence of large numbers; if he had
gone over to the Alliance to save
his subscription list, he would
have sacrificed the party to his
own personal interest and then
not have saved himself from
great pecuniary loss. But he
risked everything and came out
on top as an honest and coura-
geOus man should. The people
are with him. Oates is q great
power with the people, but as
he is rich he did not have SO much
at stake. say honor to men
like Screws who use their pen
and tongue in behalf of the great
principles of the Democratic par
ty and who fight the devil with
fire and plenty of it,

North Carolina Crops.

The reports of correspondents of
the Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin
issued by the North Carolina Expert
ment Station and State Weather
Service, for the week ending Friday,
Semptember 18th, 1891, show that
the weather during the past week
was most favorable. Light rains
occurred on Saturday and Sunday,
followed by clear, warm weather,
which has been beneficial to all
crops and for all kinds of farm work.
Cotton is opening more rapidly,
though picking has not become
general. Farmers have been very
busy during the week saving fodder,
curing hay, seeding oats, and pre-
pairing soil for wheat. Tobacco cur
ing progressing rapidly. Another
week of such favorable weather is
worth thousands of dollars to the
farmers in the State. The prospects
are for continued fine weather next
week. The present condition of
crops is as follows: Eastern Dis

Congressman Wilson, of West
Virginia, is writing some excel
lent articles on the tariff question
for the ST. Louis Republic which
have attracted a great deal Of
attention. In his latest argu-
ment against the high tariff he
quotes from a speech delivered
by Daniel Webster iii the United
States Senate forty years ago,
to show how iniquitous is class
legislation that benefits the few
at the expense of many. The
great New England statesman
said: "The freest government
cannot long endure where the
tendency of the laws is to create
a rapid accumulation of proper
ty in the hands of a few and to
make the masses of the people
poor and dependent" And yet
this is what the Republican tariff
is doing to-day and has been do
ing for SO long that the people
are restless and discontinued and
are demanding that the shackles
of taxation he stricken from their
limbs.

BE wATCHFUL NOW.

At this season of the year Wins
ton with her exceptional good
health, should exercise due care
in the matter of sanitary precau-
tons.
1t may seem a slight thing to
the general public to have a little
typhoid fever and q few dea this,
but the damage is serious and
irreparable to the sufferers-good
citizens and taxpayers, who have
a moral and legal right to have
their health properly guarded by
their agents, the city authorities.
While the streets are being torn
up, let us see that lime is used
judiciously.
When work endangering health
is a matter of actual necessity,
nothing can be done except to
conductit with proper care. The
very nature of the case makes it
impossible to lay down any def
mite rules. Both the authorities
and the citizens have to be watch
full, ard when both are reasona-
bic and considerable the danger
to the healt!, and lives of the
people is reduced to a minimum.

OLD DOMINION POLITICS.

+ The political fever is on in Vir
GINA and excitement is running
high over the pendingeampaign.
The most. important feature
of the next Legislative contest
is it's connection with the United
States senatorship. The Legis
lature chosen this year will not
only select Senator Daniels sue
cessor, but 1T is likely to have an
indirect bearing upon the choice
of Mr.. Barbour's. This Legisla-
ture is required by the constitu-
ton to apportion the Legislative
districts. The new census will
make numberof changes, espec-
tally in the senatorial districts,
but few distinct changes can be
made in either the Valley or the
Southwest. The most OF those
to be made will probably be in
the great black belt. 1t is quite
certain that the new ap2ortion-
ment of the legislative districts
will increase the democratic
strength in the two houses.
Senator Daniel is certain OF re-
election. He is one of the most
popular men in Virginia with the
farmers, and the Alliance leaders
have time and again declared
their preference for him.
The Alliance "Cosses" are ex-
tremely reticent as to the policy
they propose to pursue in the
coming legislative campaign. 1t
is not their intention it is thought
to 90 outside of the Democratic
party to secure their demands
and those elected from the Ali
ance will in all probability take
seats in the Democratic legisla-
tive caucus. The Alliance is Il
conservative body in Virginia.
Few exceptions, certainly, but
the most of them are Democrats
first.

NO FREE COINAGE.

Last Saturday in Ohio, owing
to the feebleness of Governor
Campbell, Hon. Roger Q. Mills
spoke for him in the campaign
and according to reports of his
speech, he said that free coinage
would add only some 100000
DECOR $12 100000 a year to the
circulation in addition to the
$3.50, 100000 of silver treasury
notes put out annually under the
existing law. Since 1873 wehave
coined, he continued, $685.
100000 of gold and silver.
Would our additional 81, OOO,-
600 of silver under free coinage
make great difference, when an
average yearly increase OF over
$72, 100000, has not satisfied
us? The great evil, Mr.. Mills
holds, is not the small circula-
ton. Excessive taxation, blight
ing taxation by the federal gov
eminent is the cause of the peo-
pies hardsfips. Not State or
county taxation, but chat other
taxation that comes over the
wall like a thief in the night, de-
creasing the price of what you
have to sell and increasing the
price of what you have to buy
The increase in price of home
made and foreign manufacturers
caused by the tariff, Mr.. Mills es-
Inmates at some 81 ,4OO,OOO 900
year. That is the sum the tariff
rubs consumers of yearly. No
wonder some get rich and the
many get poor under such sys-
tenn of taxation. Free coinage
would not cure this unequal dis
tribution OF the products of in
dusty. Mr.. Mills thinks it would
be possible to keep the silver dol
lar at par with gold under free
coinage, but he thinks the in
crease of money, which is the
object of free coinage, would not
do much good under our present
blighting system of taxation.
What is wanted is freer trade,
more demand for our products
abroad, more commerce, more
industry on a rock-bottom basis.
The advocates ofthe free coinage
scheme are falling off rapidly and
the people are beginning to see
the wisdom of Cleveland's Anti
Coinage letter as they saw and
appreciated too late the wisdom
and the pure motives of his tariff
message four years ago.

one thing the Republican party
cannot afford to ignore or drop,
and that is the fraudulent votes
in national elections" The Sen
atOr spoke wiser than he knew.
Ii the Republican party should

would never win. Has the Sen

The nomination of Roswell ?.
Flower, yesterday, as the stan

State Democracy, means Il sure de

in New York were never united

perhaps in the history of the state
will be made this year for Dem
ocratic success. Much depends
upon it. Not only the state, but
the National ticket is dependent
largely upon the success OF New

This is a change in the right di
rection. The Kinston Free Press
notes the fact that firms in that
town have SO far this year ship
ped 10000 bushels of corn to
other points, which is worthy of
note inasmuch as that town last
year imported from the West 25,-
900 bushels os corn, most of
which was for use among the far
mers of the surrounding country.
The farmers of that county can now
have their own sthog and honiny"
and feel somewhat independent.
Another good sign is that they are
devoting more attention to making
hay, as it is reported that more hay
stacks can be counted now in riding
over the country roads than in any
previous year. W ilmiDgton 6tar.

DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS

E. Chambers Smith, chairman
of the State Democratic Commit
tee. who has been stopping at
Battery Park hotel for the past
two weeks, will probably leave
for his home in Rnleigh to-day,
says the Asheville Citizen.
Mr.. smith is a handsome man,
and very young for one holding
the position he does, and not
understanding his high creden-
tials, is still violating one of the
cardinal rules of the Democratic
fathers by remaining a bachelor.
In an informal way Chairman
Smith talked freely with The Citi-
zen last night uponpolitical mat
ters. He thinks the Indications
are excellent for Democratic sue
cess next year both in the State
and Nation.
When asked as to what he
thought of the probabilities of a
third party in North Carolina,
Mr.. Smith said he had no idea
such a thing would occur. 81
think" he said, chat conserva-
tism will prevail in the councils
of the Democratic State cOnven-
ton next year, and that it will
be no reason for separation be-
tween those Democrats who are
in the Alliance and those who are
out"
Mr.. Smith is a warm friend of
the Alliance, and thinks that, if
sound judgement prevails, every
one of their demands should and
will be met and carried out in
side the Democratic party.
"The State Convention will no
doubt be called early next year,
said Mr.. Smith, ''possiblyi in May,
as the National Convention will
be held early, and the State tick
ct should be in the field before
that body meets.'
When asked as to who was be-
ing mentioned in Central Carolina
for the governorship, Mr.. Smith
said shat comparatively little
was being said about the matter
as yet. "Dr. Sanderlin and Elias
Carr have both been spoken Of"
he said, ''but it is too far ahead
for public sentimentto have as
sumed definite shape"
Mr.. Smith thinks that the Dem
ocratic majority in North Caro-
lima next year will exceed even
t h ii given Governor Fowle,
which was the largest in the his
tory of the State.
