THE THIRD PARTY IN UNION.
Special to the Charlotte Observer

MONROE, N. c., March l6.-The
Peoples party has made it's appear
ance in this county. On last Satur-
day a number of voters in Goose
Greek township assembled in conven-
ton at Stump Hill school house, for
the purpose of considering the ST.
Louis platform of the Peoples party.
A chairman and secretary being cleo.
ted, they proceeded to business Af-
ter few talks were made, the St.
Louis platform was adopted without
a dissenting vote. Thee, on motion
of Nj. G. Hagler, the following reso
lntions were adopted:
ssResolved, That this convention
fully endorses the preamble and plat
form adopted by the recent conven>
tion of the Peoples party at st Louis
as icing calculated to better the con-
dition of the laboring people gener-
ally, and restore them to their lost
rights and privileges.
"That we believe both of the old
parties are responsible for the present
state of affairs. They have failed to
make good their promises in the past,
and they propose to drown the out
cries of a plundered people with an
uproar of sham battle over the tariff;
they have agreed together to ignore
all the demands of the laboring peo>
pie for relief.
ssThat inaccordance with the call
made by the ST. Louis convention,
we ask the voters 10 each and every
township in Union county, who favor
the platform of the laboring people,
to meet at their respective voting
places, on Saturday, March 26th,
1892, at 2 o'clock p. m and hold a
primary convention, elect three good,
substantial citizens to act SO q town

THAT UNION SOLDIER PLANK,
From the Statesville Landmark.

X.
A persistent and somewhat concer-
ted effort is being made to convince
the people of the South that the
twelfth plank of the platform pro-
mulgated by the recent ST. Louis
mass meeting did not enter into the
proceedings of the industrial confer
ence which Immediately proceeded
the mass meeting. That twelfth
plank is the one demanding that
Union soldiers be paid now the diff
ference that existed at the time they
were paid for their services between
zreenbacks lin which they were paid)
and gold. At all times during the
war, and for long period after wards
gold was at premium. AT one
time during the hostilities one dol
lar in gold was worth So. so in grees-
backs. If this demand, were now
complied with, the Union soldier
would get $3.50 for every dollar he
got at that time. In other words, if
he got then 80 per month, he would
get now ten times $l.sO in addition,
or SIS nearly twice as much as the
original pay, with which he was con-
tent at the time. So farreaching and
outrageous scheme as this for the
robbery of the public treasury never
entered the brain of the most thiev-
ish of the great army of conscience
le.s pension age.ts.
But as to the record: The indus
trial conference, which was the FIRST
meeting held, and over which Col
Polk presided, and the mass meeting
which was held Immediately after
the adjournment of the conference,
and over which Gen. J. B Weaver,
of Iowa presided, were practically
one and the same The same men
composed both. 1t was stated in tn.
6rst news that some Of the Southern
delegates, among them the North
Carolinians, withdrew from the mass
meeting. but this is now vehemently
denied by some of their friends, and
the statement as to their withdrawal
is treated as an invention of the ene-
my. However. the simple fact as to
this Union soldier demand is just
thi.: that it was adopted as one of
series of regulations by the industrial
conference, and was afterwards made
the twelfth plank in the platform put
forth by the mass meeting. For the
accuracy of this statement we refer
to the National Economist, Dr.. G. w.
Maeune's paper, of date March 5th.
Both of the meetings gave In their
adherence to this iniqUity, and not
only the daily press reports of the
next morning, but Macune's own pa
per is our authority for saying SO.
This Union soldier business was
put in for consumption in the North
and West. AS to the South, the
game seems to be to deny that it was
ever put in at all But it was, and
we want the people to think about it.
A set of men who would give their
countenance to such an idea as this
would lend themselves to anything,
and are not worthy of the confidence
of honest people.

THE SILVER DEBATE.

!, Tomorrow is the day set for
consideration of the Bland bill
for the free coinage ofsilver in the
national House OF Representa-
tives.
The next three days are likely
to bring forth the liveliest de-
bates of the session and the bill
will in all probability be disposed
fin hat time. THERE'S undoubt-
eddy a majority of the House in
favor of free coinage and the
leaders of both parties are trem-
bling as the time for meeting the
issue approaches.
1t is true that the Democratic
party is divided on the silver
issue, but it feels no less uneasi-
ness over the situation than the
Republican party.
There is but little doubt that
the Bland bill will pass, and if it
does it will stand a good chance
ofgoing through the Senate with
out much modification. Then
the whole natter will rest with
the President VIII. has declared
that he would veto a free silver
bill. Mr.. Harrison wants to be
renominated and reelected and
don't want to cross this silver
bridse till after the election.
1t is said that he has conferred
with Ex-Czar Reed and the rem
nant of Republican leaders in
the House asking them to fill
buster and, if possible, prevent
the consideration of the Bland
bill.
Should Mr.. Harrison be forced
to meet this issue he realizes that
there would be no escape from
political death. Should he veto
the bill he would lose the support
of the Republican silver states of
the west that are necessary to
his success, and should he sign
the measure, whatever strength
he may have in the east would
leave him.
While we are in favor of Il con-
sentative disposition of this per-
picking issue, we see no danger
to the Democracy in the tiual re-
suits.

people is with US. There must be
organization in every school district,
in every town, in every county
through your State and throughout
the country. The party that is best
organized, in my judgment, will win
the fight this coming fall. There-
fore, in parting from you, / simply
desire to say few practical words;
"Organ;ze for the fight that is to
come; organize your people; instruct
them; circulate your documents; snh-
scribe to your newspapers agitate, agi-
ta.e, and organize everywhere. If
this be done, we can rejoice this fall,
in my judgment, in redemption of
the country"
There is lesson in these words
for the Democrats of every ward
and township in the country.
Hill knows the value of organi-
cation. This has been the seer eft
of his success in politics. 1t is
one of the secrets of all political
success.
Nothing can be truer than the
words of Hill that the party
with superior organization will
win in the presidential election.
This is true of Forsyth c'unty.
1t will require perfect organiza-
ton of the true Democracy to in
ure Democratic success in North
Carolina.
Let the Democrats of every
community take this advice OF
Senator Hill and victory is GER
tain.

ALLIANCE PROGRAMME.

From the National Democrat
Col Harry Skinner, of North Carr
olin, talked unreservedly to the Ma
tional Democrat on the political OUT
look in North Carolina. Col. Skins
ner is a brother of ex Congressman
Skinner, and brother-in- law of ex-
Congressman Latham and ex Cover
NOR Jarvis, of North Carolina. He
is a success full lawyer and farmer,
and has seen something of public life
in North Carolina. He is famed
throughout the State as an orator and
is accepted as representative of the
young Democracy. 1t was Col. Skin
ner who first suggested in the public
prints the application of the sub
treasury idea in this country as a
means of financial relief to the ag-
ricultural interests. 1t was subse
quently adopted by the Alliance, and
applied to all agricultural products,
and is now the domin atipg issue in
that organization. Col. Skinner has
been on the stump in North Carolina
for some time, having made address
already in twenty or more counties.
He says:
"The third party movement will
cut but small figure in North Car
Dina. The Alliance Democrats will
control the State convention, nomi-
nate State ticket and adopt State
platform with he sub treasury plank
as prominent feature. and name
the delegates to the national Demo
cratic convention. The third party
business would loose US the State,
make negro rule possibility and
possibly result in the election of
Republican President The dele
gates to Chicago will be uninetructed
but they will be representative Alli-
ancemen-for Instance, such men as
Hen. S. B. Alexander, now mem
Der OF Congress from Charlotte dis
trict. They will represent and en-
phasize the anti CLEVELAND sentiment
in the State, and I mention that be-
cause it is the accepted opinion
among the Alliance people that Mr..
Cleveland cannot carry the State.
They will effect, if possible, the NOM
ination of a free silver candidate for
President. The Democratic nominee
must stand squarely on the question
if he expects to carry the electoral
vote of North Carolina. I have only
te add that if the Democratic leaders
in North Carolina believe as they talk
the next State convention will give
them the biggest surprise they have
ever had"

ducts. You cannot strike down
every barrier between the wages
of Europe and the wages ofAmer-
lea SO long as every other indus
try feels the unhealthy stimulus
and the feverish fiuctuation in
prices due to our present tariff
system. If the laborer in the
wooden mills goes to purchase
supplies for himself or his family,
he pays the artificial prices which
the high thrift system enables
them to charge. Worse than
this, he gets even now no such
compensating difference in wages
as the difference in the prices of
certain articles under healthy
conditions of competition and
the artificial conditions which
prevail today. You cannot strike
at the wages of the wooden oper-
ative by making duties too low

other industry with all the luxu-
RANT morbid growth of an I'M

THE Hill tour of the South is
a striking reminder of Harris IN 5
swing around the circle in the in
terest of a denomination. He is
received with characteristic hos
pitality as was the leading pro-
mulgator of the force bill. The
people of the South don't know
how to be otherwise than hos
pitable.
1t is true that some of the de-
monstrations in honor of the
New York Senator are very fat
tering and will be considered as
evidence of the popularity of his
candidacy for president. But
are not the gatherings along
the way largely theresnlt of cur
iosity?

BENEFITS OF FREE WOOL.

Representative Stevens, of Mas

of wool goods, said in his speech
on tn. wool bill:
The advantage of free raw ma
terials TO the manufacturer does
not stop with the amount of the
reduction of duty 1t frees the
manufacturer from trammels in
all directions. Customs decisions
on rates of duty no longer keep
him in suspense for years as to
the cost of his materials; high
duties no longer drive him to Sc
lect the poorest woods, which
come at lower rates, for the
clothing which lie makes for the
American people, and the high
cost of his materials no longer
compels him t" sean with eagle
eve every OF her item of expense
in the cost of production. includ-
ing the wages of his workmen,
to make up for the hundreds of
thousands of dollars which he
pays into the Treasury. Better
machinery, larger investments,
higher wages to American work
men, and lower prices and better
goods to American consumers,
all these benefits are within his
grasp with freed )m to purchaee
in every market and to make the
best use of his foresight and judg
ment and the skill of his uien.
The abolition of the duty on
wool does not mean necessarily
a smaller demand orlower prices
for American wool. 1t means
that both American wool and
foreign can be used to the best
advantage for the purposes to
which each is best adapted, and
thar they csn be mixed in proper
proportionsi in allsorts offabrics.
1t means that more wool, would
be used than is to-day, because
foreign wool, less the duty, would
take the place ofshoddy and 9TH
er limitations, and more genuine
wooden goods would be sold to
American buyers. And it may
mean in the future perhaps also
the opening of new markets to
American manufacturers.
Reduced taxes and lower prices
always mean increased consump-
ton. That has been the the ex-
perience of Europe, and must be
moreemphatically the experience
of America, where the measure
of the growing tastes and educa-
ton of the citizen is the measure

friends have already found that
