WHICH is THE STRONG
SIDE

A correspondent writing from
Swansboro to the New Berne Journ-
al says:
Politics are low to speak of in our
county, the Peoples party seems to
have the lead at times, and the
straight-outs don't hardly know
what to do. We concluded we would
wait and see which was the strong
side before we come out for Office
guess we are a candidate but don't
know what for, or what kind yet,
only one or two have announced
themselves as we hear.

BEGIN NOW.
The Atlanta Constitution says

The Atlanta Constitution says:
"We have no idea that the people
will be allowed to control their own
currency for many years. Ihey
have permitted Wall street and the
financial interests to entrench them
selves in power, and it will require
the agitation of several campaigns
to dislodge them. Yet if they are
ever to be dislodged, the agitation
will have to begin some time, and
we do not know a more auspiclous
hour than the present."
The above paragraph states one
of the main reasons why THE CAU-
CAsIAN will not support Grover
Cleveland. We want to know how
the Constitution can be consistant
and support him.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1892-07-28
"A WORD WITH THE FARMERS .

Under the above heading the
News and Observer says:
"That the farmers of North Caro-
lima should turn their backs on Mr..
Cleveland is particularly reprehen-
sible. They do so under the false
impression that Mr.. Cleveland ia
not in sympathy with poI uIar
rights, but is in sympathy with the
money power of the world, which
it is assumed is ia conf let with pop
ular rights"
1t will avail nothing for the
News and Observer to tell the farm
ers after four years of reading and
thinking for themselves, that they
are moved by falls. impressions and
do not know why they are against
Mr.. Cleveland. They know why
they are against him and can give
their reasons. Further on the News
and Observer says:
"Cleveland has never advocated
anything because in his belief and
judgm + it would benefit the
wealthy, but he has opposed some
things because he was very sure
they would be hurtful to the masses
What those things are our North
Carolina farmers do not know any
thing about. They have no intelli-
gent comprehension of them. They
do not understand what is meant
by the names by which these meas
ures are called. Designing men
have led them to believe that Mr..
Cleveland, because he does not ad.
vocate certain measures, is opposed
to popular rights"
The above is an insult to the
thousands of intelligent and well
informed farmers of the State who
oppose Mr.. Cleveland. If the edi-
tor of that paper will 60 out among
these farmers who shave no intel
ligent comprehension" they will
teach him several things that he
doubtless has never learned.
| hSdiu tuc paper says.
"With regard to the currency
Mr.. Cleveland believes in silve
money and gold money, and in th'
use Of paper money to represent sill
yer and gold. He advocates the us'
of all these sorts of currency. Bu
he wants all sorts Of currency t.
pass current at the same time. HI
wants the silver dollar and the goi,
dollar and the paper dollar all to b
of equal purchasing power, so tina
there will be no difference in thei
use among the people.
He is in favor Of the free coinag
, of silver and of gold on that basis.
}, On what basis? "On that basis.
That is a gold basis. We suppos
every gold bug will favor free coin
age on gold basis. Yes, he want
} paper, silver and gold to be of equs
purchasing power as measured b
: q gold standard. That and nOthin
more. The gold in gold dollar wi
, go down to 68 if the governmer
:, will take it's legal tender fiat from i
f The currency question is very il
3 tricate one, but it seems that tt
3 farmers are learning more abol
than the politicians even know
were willing to admit.

The Raleigh News and Observ er
referring to the last Legislature says:
'Many of the members of that

PEOPLES PARTY IN JONES.
The Following Larger Than Sup
posed.

A correspondent from Jones coun-
ty to the New Berne Journal says:
Just as we predicted in our last
Journal items, the Peoples Party
was a surprise to many-larger than
they supposed it would be.
Lewis King was made permanent
chairman and Amos Becton secreta-
nv. Preambles and resolutions were
adopted severing all allegiance to
both Of the old parties. That they
would not support for any office, any
man who said he intended to vote
tor either Harrison or Cleveland
County, Congressional and State
ticket were recommended to be nom
mated.

WHY THE PEOPLES PARTY SHOULD
ELECT THE NEXT PRESIDENT

WHY THE PEOPLES PARTY SHOULD
ELECT THE NEXT PRESIDENT
BY HON. THOMAS E. WATSON.
Should the Republicans elect the
President, the utmost they could
accomplish in the way Of legislation
would be the redemption Of their
platform promises. The people
would still be left groaning under
~ the Mckinley tariff, (2) the ma
tional banking system, ~ the con-
traction of currency, az corporation
rule, and (5) the exemption of mil
lionaires from taxation on their in
comes. Let the Republicans win at
the next election, and it may be
fairly said that government by the
people is dead, and that class rule is
perpetuated.
Suppose every plank Of the Demo
cratic platform enacted into law,
what relief would come to the mass
es of our people? The national
banks would remain. Incomes
would not be taxed. Tariff burdens,
if molested at all, would be only
scaled slightly. Corporations would
| retain CnelT SpeCiA PIASiAOsOo. w.
rency would remhin contracted, and
only be filtered out to the people
through the banks. We deal gener-
ously with either parry in admitting
their honest intention to redeem
platform pledges. The Democratic
platform of 1884 demanded the
gold and silver coinage "of the Con
stitution." The coinage of that ers
, was free and unlimited gold ant
Y silver, upon ratio Of fifteen to one
, Mr.. Cleveland was elected upon thu
platform. The first thing he az
after election was to truckle to wal
street, and repudiate this free siive
pledge.

WHICH OF THE THREE ?
Observation-Disclosures
ldEN GIVE THEIR REASONS
Why Their Respective Parties
Should Elect the Next
President.

The Arena for July has three
articles on the pending political
campaign. Mr.. Springer speaks for
the Democratic party, and gives the
reason why it will be best for the
country for the Democrats to elect
the President. Mr.. Watson speaks
for the Peoples party, and Mr..
Burrows for the Republican party.
We give the three articles in full:
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1892-07-28
WHY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
SHOULD ELECT THE NEXT PREsI-
IDENTIFY THE HON. WILL
i.

IDENTIFY THE HON. WILL
LIAM NJ SPRINGER.
The following seem to me to be
the most important reasons for
electing Democratic President:
First, if the President should diff
fer from Congress on any proposed
legislation, and interpose his veto,
it would require two-thirds of each
body to overcome his objections.
If the next Congress should be
Democratic in both branches, as it
probably will, the President should
be in harmony with the two Houses.
Otherwise the President could
thwart the will Of the people ex-
pressed at the polls. The veto pow
er itself is undemocratic, and should
be used only on extraordinary occa-
sions, and in cases where there was
evidently an inadvertence or when
some constitutional inhibition had
been disregarded. But Presidents
have generally allowed their own
ideas Of public policy to control
their action, and to cause them to
take Issue with the representa- tive,
of the people and the representa-
tives of the State as to the mere
policy of proposed legislation.
In the pending contest the tariff
question will be the paramount
issue. The people have already
spoken upon it, especially at the
election in 1890 for Representatives
in Congress. An unprecedented
majority was returned in opposition
to the leading features of the Nc
Kinley Bill and the policies Of the
Republican party generally, and in
favor of thorough and genuine re-
form of the tariff laws of the coun-
try. I have no doubt large ma
jority of the people still adhere to
the decision expressed in 1890. The
people who elect the Congress
should have the benefit Of Execu.
tive cooperation in the law-makine
power.
Second, the Republican party has
controlled the Executive, with the
exception cf the four years of Cleve
lands administration, since 1861
and during his administration the
Senate was Republican. Hence lit
tie was done in legislation except tt
pass Appropriation Bills and non
t partisan measures. There has beer
r no opportunity for more than thirty
years for the enactment of laws il
harmony with one Of the great po-
liticai parties Of the country, which
has, at many of the Presidential
elections intervening, cast MAORI
ty of the popular vote Of the coun
a try. It is time for that party t.
q control legislation and overhaul al
= the departments Of the Government
Third, during Mr.. Cleveland
s administration there was great re
D form in the executive department
3 in the expenditure of public money
3 Strict economy in administering tn
government will follow his return.
'' Fourth, the Democratic party 6
g this time is the better representa-
v tive of true Americanism. It is nc
O sectional, but has its representative
= in every school district throughot
- the land.
h Fifth, nearly all the judges of th
# United States Courts are Republi
n cans. A Democratic Presidel
=, should be continued in Office unit
:, the judiciary has received an inf
IL sion of Democratic sentiment.
