SOLID AMI SAFE.

A Georgia farmer has formulated
platform which ls worth the con-
sideration and unanimous adoption
of every farmer in the land. If every
farmer in North Carolina had for>
mulated such platform ten years
ago and had stood on it fat-footed
all the while the Third party in this
State would never have been dream
ed of.
Here's his platform, which we hope
to see every farmer in North Caro-,
lima adopt:

always been full, for 1 haven't

ness would b.. Tor the baiance Of
tteir lives. TO force election measures
as Republican administration
might wish.
Gen. Stevenson showed clearly
how this Infamous law would arrest
the flow of capital from the North TO
the South. Now northern capital
seeks investment in the South where
there is peace and prosperity, but
with a force bill in operation it
would seek investment elsewhere.
He said the operation Of the force
bl!l would call into service more than
100000 deputy marshals, and that
every election would cost the govern.
ment over ten millions of dollars.
Inc people might stand the tariff
burdens awhile, but they could not
afford to be deprived by force bill
of the right CT presentation. Dur
ing our 103 years of independence
no esisiattou has found its way to
our statute hooks so deadly To our
interests and the prosperity of our
country.
The force bill is aimed at the
South, he SAID, and 1t BODIES no good
to any party.
Gen Stevenson said very little
about the Third party. Calling to
the Third party men who might be
present, he dismissed their cause by
saying, "Your candidate Is simply
not In 1T 1t is fight between the
two old parties, the Democratic and
Republican, and the Third party i:

He closed with strong appeal Il
the people of the South to stand to
gether for their rights.
His speech was short by reason o
his great hoarseness from speaking
so much, bu0 was pointed and pithy
and all through was punctuated by
applause from his audience
He said, upon taking his leave
from North Carolina, that he shoult
carry away with him pleasant recol
lections of bis treatment at thu
hands of his fellow-citizens here.
He sat down from speaking but wa'
almost lifted from the stand to wher,
the people could shake hands will
! him. Mr.. Gillian proposed three
cheers for Stevenson and the audi
ence went wild with an enthusiastic
shout and then began to turn away
to seek their homes and pot int,

they had heard.

Freedom of speech is one of the
grand elements Of the inestlmable
birth.right of American f.eemen; but
when Third party leaders advise the
people not to 60 to democratic speak
ings to hear all sides of public ques-
tions, they throttle the freedom of
speech and thus betrsy one OF the
most sacred trusts vouchsafed to
them by the blood of their forefathers

Freedom of the press Is one of the
boosted characteristics OF the
American people; but when the Third
party leaders discourage the reading
of eny but the so.called reform
papers, the freedom of the press is no
longer a means for their enlighten-
ment.
