parties, and 1t is useless to undertake
anything for the peoples good while
they stand at the helm, through these
parties owned and lead for special class
interest. Therefore the more feasible
plan for the people Of this state, in all
national matters, is to insugurate new
party untrammeled by previous mis-
takes, traditions and policies, and meet
their friends at Omaha, coming from
the west, east and north, on one common
plain, with unity of purpose and the
jealousies of the war buried. This is q
contamination devoutly to be wished by
the weaker section.
Then again by a close, compact party
machinery, the voice of the people Is
stifed at the very threshold of power and
legislation. The states may pass liberal
platforms, but these platforms drop dead
at the door Of national conventions.
Congressman may pledge and promise
their constituents, but those promises
and pledges wilt into nothlngness before
party caucus or an adverse speaker of
the house or committee on rules. And
when we come to consider who make
national platforms, who rule party eau
cuses, who lead In the organization of
the house, we may be we'll assured that
the will of the people will be entirely ig-
nored. The hand of monopoly and the
interest of the powerful few rules in the
higher courts of both parties. Thus
shut off from every avenue through
which the voice of the people may be
heard at Washington, 1t is their duty and
privilege to represent their principles and
policies where they can be recognized and
send their own servants to Washing
ton to crystslize them into law. In view
Of these momentous facts 1t Is thought
advisable to associate all the people into
q Peoples party and allow all of the op-
ponents Of their rights to arrange them
selves in separate party, with the
people on one side and plutocracy on the
other.
When we come to reflect that this gov
ernment, managed as aforesaid, isl hydra
headed oligarchy, plutocracy, govern
ment of the few for the benefit of the
few, the tremendous Importance Of this
uprising of the people becomes at once
apparent. 1t satisfies us, apart from any
particular measures proposed, that the
vital principle Of self government Is at
stake. Shall the people have govern
ment of the people and for the peopleH
Millions Of people have seen this Issue
and noted the crisis. They viii have a
voice at Omaha July A, 1892, which they
cannot gain anywhere else. They will
there re-baptize the nation In the faith
of old. The combat between the people
and plutocracy viii be long, desperate,

RED ELEPHANT''

Binder TWine. made from all pure
American Hemp, Is OFFICIALLY
Endorsed by the F. M. B. A. and the
State Grange OF Illinois as the best
and cheapest binder twine for farm
ers to use, and they urge all farmers
20 use Red Elephant exclusively. Red
Elephant Is stronger, ,cheaper-length
cOnsidered-and better, than any
twine made from MANILA, sisal or
jute. Hard fiber manufacturers and
dealers are doing all they can TO break
down this American hemp Industry,
for It's large success means their
great loss. Beware OF OOL0RED
JUTE twine, which Is worthless, and
is often FRAUDULENTLY sold as
American hemp, In order 10 break
down the reputation Of genuine
American hemp twine. In 1890 we

AN ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE OF
NORTH CAROLINA.

men requires, whenever any considerable
number of citizens determine to adopt q
new line Of policy in their political re-
latlong, that they set forth the causes and
reasons for making the change. The
people of this state are called upon to
send delegates 10 Omaha, Nebraska,
there to meet delegates from the other
states TO lmpersonate in candidate for
president q new line Of principles and
policies; and the question may well be
asked why, with two potential parties in
che field, this course Of action is thought
necessary. Therefore we will briefly
state some of our reasons.
Flrst-The people ask for laws which
will naturally cause money, the instru-
ment Of trade, to yield to the demands
of trade. They have not in the old
parties helper to crystallze this prin-
ciple into law.
SecOnd--The people ask for laws tend
ing to abolish money monopoly which
Is continually impOverishing the wealth
producers Of this nation and paying from
two to three hundred millions of gold
annually to foreign nations as tribute, by
the free coinage Of silver and the Issuing
Of money direct to the people instead Of
Issuing il direct to corporations, thus
partially relieving the people from home
usury and foreign tribute. This service
neither Of the old parties will undertake.
Third-The people ask for hindrance
of monopolles and trusts, and that such
natural and powerful monopOlies which
may exert their baneful influence upon
legislation be owned by the government.
To this the old parties turn deaf ear.
Fourth-The people ask that aliens
shall not own land in this country, and
that corporations shall not own land not
needed for their main purposes. This re-
quest is denied.
Many other requests are made and
strenuously opposed. The question may
be reasonably asked here why not en-
deavor to convert one Of these factions
to the peoples way Of thinking. The
answer is they are handicapped by their
previous records, traditions and policies,
and no unity of purpose and concert Of
action can be gained through them.
Flrst-Was the national bank act es-
tablishedP Both parties voted for 1t.
Second-Was silver demonetlzed to In
crease the power of the money mo-
nopolyS Both parties voted for 1t.
Thlrd-Was the volume of money con-
tracted and all the contracts outstand-
ing changed for the benefit Of the creditor
and against the peopleS Both parties
voted for il.
Fourth Was non-lnterest bearing
greenbacks funded into interest bearing
bonds and bonds payable In greenbacks
made payable in coin (gold)H Both
parties voted for It.
Fifth-Was there an effort made to
have free coinage of silverH The lead
ing men Of both parties opposed 1t.
Slxth-Was the public lands made q
free gift TO railroads amounting in the
whole to the size Of several large statesS
Both parties voted for 1t.
These things being true, they will
make strenuous effort in self justlGca-
tion and will oppose all effort which will
tend to bring their past record to shame.

On Monday last about noon the ice
house adjoining the stone dwelling
formerly known as the Paxton house,
was discovered to be on fire. 1t is
supposed that it crught from burning
leaves. An alarm was brought to
town and ;he steamer was taken out,
bat it could not be used, as it could
not be run down close enough to the
creek. After some delay, enough hose
was on the ground to connect with the
plug at the wafer works, and the fire
was quenched. The wash house and
ice house were destroyed, and the
cornice of the house damaged.

on Hallow cen is a thief just as much
as he who steals on any other night of
