Won't Redeem TheIr PLEDGES

Congressman Watson, of Georgia, has
this to say of the manifest defeat OF
free coinage in the house:
This action in the house on the sill.
yer bill is the death knen of the old
democratic organization. Hundreds of
thousands of voters in the southern
states have felt that if financial relief
could be had democracy, as now or.
gained, would give that relief if it had
a chance. With a majority of rs in the
house it certainly had a chance to
pass the free silver bill. 1t failed
to do it. 1t was only by the help
of nine peoples party members
and eleven republicans that this i'm.
mense democratic majority escaped a
Waterloo. Consequently the most con,
servative democrat in the south knows
now that democratic majorities, WELD.
ed under the present organization, mean
absolutely nothing so far as practical
Legislation is concerned. No power on
earth can row keep Georgia from going
into the electoral college with the PEG.
pies party convention. l confidently
believe that the same is true of several
other southern states"

THE PEOPLES PARTY.

Recent Events Have Contributed Largely
Toward Building Up the Great PARTY of
the People.
The Cincinnati Enquirer, one of the
most prominent and influential demo-
cratic papers in the nation, says:
Recent events in congress and coun-
try have been contributing to make the
new party great power in the future
OF this country. 1t may become an all
important factor in the election for
president. The Mckinley tariff bill;
the trifing of congresses on the free
coinage of silver; the recent letter of
ex-President Cleveland on that subject:
the known hostility of the Harrison ad,
ministration to the interest OF the peo-
pie; the conventions Of bankers and
tnanciers; the open hostilities of Wall
street; the combined opposition of the
leading papers of both parties in the
east; the act of congress making
specified contracts in gold; the persis-
tent efforts on the part of the gov
eminent officials to degrade silver
to a commodity and drive it from eircu-
lation, are all contributing to make a
third party highly probable. While we
believe the democratic party. which
would now be alright but for the inau-
ence of the eastern wing, will ultimate
ly champion the cause of the common
people, as it has always done in the
past when left to its own better in
stincts, yet we are not under the dicta-
ton or control of any party. The end.
and not the party, is the thing to be at
tanned, and we, therefore, welcome re-
lief to the tOiling millions from what
ever source it may come"
The above is an houest admission that
the democratic party is under the infiu-
ence Of the eastern wing, and as the
eastern wing or Wall street influence
controls the republican party also, there
is no chance for relief and no hope is
left for the toiling masses except
through the peoples party.-Cor. Non
conformist.

The Relative Value of Gold and Silver
Nuts For GOld-Bugs to Crack.

The Relative Value of Gold and silver
Nuts For GOld-Bugs to Crack.
The gold bugs, in their war on free
silver, are the only authority we want
for the statement that it only costs Al
cents to produce the bullion put into
silver dollar. The NOnconformist, in
paragraph which has been more freely
copied than anything in recent print,
said that the Homestake Mining Co., of
the Black Hills, operating the largest
quartz gold mills in the world. pro-
duce gold bullion at a cost of SO
cents per dollars worth. This writer
knows this to be approximately correct.
For years this company. owned by the
late Senator Hearst, the Haggin Bros.
and others, have taken out in clear prof
it two dollars for every one expended
in these mines. The world over gold
does not cost more than silver. That
is, 2j.S grains of gold do not cost more
to produce than 37lif grains of silver
do.
The men whoprate about an honest
dollar are themselves dishonest. Take
off the fiat from gold, take away its free
coinage the world over and what would
its value be? DemOnetize gold and
there is enough now TO, all the wants
of the world in the arts and sciences for
seventy-fve years. With seventy-fve
years supply of any commodity on
hand, how long would it maintain a
three-fold profit. 1t is the fiat in favor
of gold that makes the Jew love gold.
1t is because gold relatively is more
easily secreted that the jew banker
prefers it to silver. For the first sew
enty-fve years of this government sill
yer was our ultimate standard. Ifgood
enough for our fathers by what right
does Shylock dare to dishonOr it now?
Back of 1878, when by deceit and rob
berry they demonetized it, silver had the
nobler lineage and the better parent
age. But let the plutocrats rave. The
people have determined upon the free
and unlimited coinage of silver, not as
the end, but as a means to better times.
If Shylock has the voters to back him,
let the battle be joined. -Noncon

The TRUE ISSUE.
Silver Coinage is Not the Paramount Issue
of the Day.

Silver Coinage is Not the Paramount Issue
of the Day.
Let the people be not deceived. The
free and unlimited coinage of silver is
right 1t is one of the demands of the
alliance. Silver was demonetized
through Stealthy fraud. 1t was a great
and heinous wrong. It is one of the
prominent demands of the democratic
party, as it has declared time and
again in its platforms, and for years
through its press and public speakers.
But be it understood now and for all
time tnat the reformers do not regard
it as panacea for all our financial ills.
We know that as measure for in
creasing the volume of currency, it is
totally inadequate According to Mr..
Bland, it would increase it only about
SD 900, or so cents per capita. 1t
is not, therefore, in this light, that we
demand it, but we demand it asa means
of robbing gold Of its power to Cypress.
We value it as aStepping stone tohigher
things. We want free coinage ofsilyer
but we want much more than that: we
want a sufficient volume of full legal
tender money to meet the requirements
Of the legitimate business of the coun-
try, issued by the government to the
people at a low rate of interest. We
want this, and this agitationmustnever
cease until we get it, for that is the only
remedy for existing evils. With all true
reforners this is the great and the
greatest of all issues before the Ameri-
can people.
Be not deceived by the Juror that is
made over free silver, for we will be told
that we should be content with it.
The careful and observant man could
not have failed to notice one significant
fact in connection with the discussion
of this subject. 1t is the careful and
studied evasion of the currency ques-
ton by prominent old party leaders in
their writings and speeches, and by the
prominent old party papers. They talk
thppantly and vehemently of free sill
yer, but nothing is said about abolishing
national banks, nothing about issuing
more and cheaper money to the people
at low rate of interest-not word.
Let alliancemen and all friends of re-
form keep this steadily and constantly
in mind as the great question and hold
all men and all parties to it.-Raleigh
