On the floor of congress Jerry Simp-
son, backed by eight men, good and
true, challenged both democratic and
republican congressman to point to a
single law that had been enacted in the
interest of the wealth producers of the
country for the last twenty years, and
not one of them dared accept the chal-
1enge. Think of it, oh we men who go
into Mysteries at every election for fear
your darling old party will be defeated.

ness, vote himself and family into pow

certainly stranger to the instincts of
true manhood. Alliance Tribune.
The man who thinks that the CEN
trail idea of this great reform move
ment is to cheaper goods is badly in
the dark; and the man who is trying
to cheaper goods that he must buy is
also trying to cut down still lower the
earnings of the people who create
them. Vote for system that will re-
move all the leeches, the land sharks,
the loan sharks, the railroad sharks,
the trust sharks and all other sharks,
and you will soon find that wages will
rise, the products of labor advance
everywhere, wealth be better distrib-
uted, the hours of labor would shorten,
more time for reflection and self-im-
provement, child labor would vanish,
there will be more comfortable homes,
etc. If you want a better system vote
for it-Exchange.

chance in the campaign of 1892 if it
but show ordinary wisdom and policy.
In 1860 the young republican party
was the only one out of the four in the
field that had a living issue that ap-
pealed to the patriotism of free non
slave holding Americans. TWAS that
the virgin territories of the United
States must be held ever sacred to the
toll of free labor and on this sublime
issue Abraham Lincoln was elected
president
In these days of breaking banks,
financial stringency, and hard times, if
the peoples party will come to the
front with a single plank platform
which demands governmental banking
on the lines of the bill recently intro
duced in congress by Hon. O. M.
KEN, of Nebraska, it can score
one of the most dazzling and
complete political victories in the
history of the country. If this bill be-
comes a law it will give financial re-
lief to all classes of its honest citizens.
1t will make bank deposits absolutely
safe. 1t will call into circulation over

are now locked up in government
vaults, safety deposits, and hidden
away by persons who will not trust the
banks. It will enable the farmers to
refund their present usurious mort
cages by means of long time four per
cent. per annum government loans.
Townships can then borrow money
of the government to erect ware houses
in which they can store non -perishable
products, and get money 1.-The govern
ment banks on the warehouse receipts.
Mechanics, business men and laborers
in towns and cities can get loans on
any good security at four per cent per
annum. Governmental banking cam
not be assailed as class legislation, for
it will give equal benefits to all good
citizens in town and country alike.
If the peoples party will h old its con-
vention on the 4th day of July. 1892,
after the two old parties have held
theirs and gone to the country with
their sham platforms, and gives to the
American people one-plank platform,
as indicated, it will prove the political
sagacity of the peoples party leaders,
and give to the nation a reformatory
administration that is truly of the peo-
pie, by the people and for the people

STOP AND THINK.

The game has at last been given
away. We have said all along the
Third party was to be used as cats
paw-a tool by the Republicans to
regain and retain power themselves.
Can any honest, thinking man now
doubt it? DO you not see the trend
of affairs by the coalition OF the Re-
publicans and Third partyites7 Hear
what Loge Harris says in the last
issue of his Radical Republican sheet
the Raleigh Signal:
Republicans and Peoples party
men, are you ready for the election ?
Have you done your whole duty2 If
SO, we congratulate you. X Re-
publicans and Peoples party men, are
you doing your duty? Get to work.
Arouse your neighbors to the impor-
lance of this contest. x Every
Republican and Peoples party man
be given his work to do.
These extracts are all taken from
one article. Mark "Republicans and
Peoples party men, how often it is
repeated in one ands.the same breath
How the two are being worked to-
gether to accomplish the same object:
the success OF the Republican party at
the expense of the Democratic (white
man's) party of the South. Will white
men of North Carolina aid in this
unholy alliance to accomplish pur.
pose that would be fraught with such
dire consequences to themselves and
their fellow citizens ? We can not fol-
the life of US see how they can. Stop
and think before it is too late to re.
pair the wrong you may do.

THE nearer the election approaches
the more do members Of the Third
party see that their course in support
ing Weaver and the State and county
tickets Of that party, can only benefit
the Republicans who are doing every
thing in their power to profit by Demo-
cratic defeat. And this is causing
many of them to stop and think and
turn back to their former place in the
ranks of the Democracy. Still there
are others who seem determined upon
their purpose to forsake the party of
their fathers and their friends. This
is sadly to be regretted. But they
must know what they are doing. They
have had line upon line and precept
and example, and can not plead
ignorance or the baby act. They may
give away North Carolina to the Re-
publicans. They may lose the Legis-
lature and give it to the Republicans
with all that such thing would mean
to US. They may restore the Repub-
licans to power in the House of Rep
resentatives, they may defeat Bum
for Congress, but they will do a great
wrong to their own cause and to our
people.

LOGE HARRIS "lets the cat out of
the bag'' at the last moment. The
purpose of the Republicans is to beat
the Democratic State ticket, get con-
troll of the Legislature and give the
Electoral vote of North Carolina to
Harrison. This they hope to do by
uniting with the Third party and
making common cause in their fight
against the Democracy. They do this
not because they love the Third party
people better but hate the Democrats
worse. Marion Butler was right when
he said if the Peoples party was sue
cessful they would be so by the suffer
ence of the Republicans, and the
danger of such a course was advised
against. But this is the game that is
to be played. Hear what Loge Har-
ris says:
The candidacy of Messrs. Lindsay,
Shuford, Patton and Brown, will con-
tribute to the election of the Republi-
can candidates in the Fifth, Seventh,
Eighth and Ninth districts. Xxx x
The Republican and Peoples parties
are making common cause against the
Democratic party.

ALL IN THE SAME BOAT.

The Republicans and Third party
people are all in the same boat. The
success of one means the success of the
other. This is what we have thought
and said all along, but we have other
and higher authority for re-asserting it
here. See what Mr.. J. c. L. Harris
says below:
We are authorized by Mr. John San
ders to annonce that he has withdrawn
from the race in this district for Con-
gress in favor of Mr.. w. F. Stroud, the
Peoples party candidate, *
We believed that Mr.. Sanders devotion
to the Republican party would inau-
ence him to take this step as soon as
he could ascertain the sentiment of the
district.
What has Mr.. Sanders aevotiou to the
Republican party to do with influence
ing him to withdraw from the Con-
gressional race, for which he was duly
nominated by his party, in the interest
of Third party man, if a trade of
some sort has not been effected by
which it is understood that Mr.. Stroud
is simply playing into the hands of the
Republicans This is just what has
been done and Mr.. Harris knows wha
he is doing when he is working to elect
Stroud. We admire his boldness and
candor in "showing his hand" in the
manner he does if we can not applaud
his lack of discretion and party general
ship. But hear the gentle and seduc-
tive Logan further. He says:
Mr.. Caleb P. Jockey has Withdrawn
from the Congressional race in the
Sixth district, and urges the Repub-
licans to support DR.. Maynard, the
Peoples party candidate.
This is as it should be. A nunited eff
fort will defeat Mr.. Alexander
Now let the Republicans make one
long pull and carry the Sixth district.
Mark the words q" Now let the Re-
PubHeans make one long pull and
carry the Sixth DISTRICT Is there a
man whose senses are so dull that he
can not see which way he is drifting

THE MCKINLEY BILL.

There is publication in New York
called american Industries, which
has been doing splendid work in the
s'campaign of education," taking the
tariff question in all its ramifcations
and effects upon the wage earners OF
the country, as the one particular
subject of investigation and exposure.
The current issue has a striking car
toon representing Mckinley with a
long sharp bill with which he has
pierced a number of laboring men
through the body and holds them
suspended above ground, while a rich
monopolistic manufacturer stands hold
ing string tied around the neck of
the great High Priest Of Protection.
Taking this for its text our contsm-
porary says:
The subject of our cartoon this week
illustrates, in pictorial way, the
effect of the Infamous Mckinley bill
on American wage-earners. No sane
man will deny that it has pierced
their very vitals; that it has dismem-
bered the industrial body and caused
blood to flow like water in the fair
State of Pennsylvania. Like a great
vampire this detestable Mckinley
monster is sapping the best blood of
American manhood it has stagnated
industries paralyzed human progress,
and is fast working to that point
where great industrial convulsion
will appal the civilized world, COM
pared which the French Revolution
will be as child's play. The picture is
not overdrawn. The reality is almost
at our very doors. Downtrodden
labor exists to-day like a great sup
pressed volcano under our fair Re-
public. The people, the masses, those
who earn their bread by the labor of
their hands, are arrayed like a great
overwhelming army against the favored
tew-the monopolists-those who have
built up vast fortunes of non-circulat-
ing capital through the patronage of
government. Some day the word
will be given to MareA, and then,
perhaps, before the close of the nine
teenth century-perhaps on the Sth
day of November next the people
will possess themselves of the govern
ment which is theirs by right, which
was established by them and for them.
and which has been wrested from
them through the greed for gain. Let
US hope that this coming revolution
will be peaceful one let US hope
that our beautiful land will not be
devastated further by plutocracy and
class legislation let us hope that the
signs of the times will be read Alright
by those who control capital, and that
they will use it in the development of
human progress and not as a cruel
instrument with which to Cypress the
wage-earners Of America.

OUR attention has been called to
the fact that the Gideon's Band oath
is almost identically the same as that
of the notorious Malta order in New
Orleans which an outraged community
rose up and crushed out in such
terrible but positive manner some time
ago. We recollect reading the oath
at the time but do not now recall its
exact words or nature of the obligation
which each member sealed with drops
Of his own blood pricked from his
body over the heart. The gentleman
who spoke to us about the matter has
a copy of the Malta oath in question
and says as soon as he read the
Gideon's Band oath he recognized the
similarity between the two. But this
of course the honorable Gid Wilson
has not observed.

THERE appears to be a good deal of
political independence about some of
the leading colored men of Tennessee,
especially the more intelligent minis
tiers. We have already published the
letter of Bishop Brown who recently
came out for Cleveland, and now it is
stated that Rev. J. w. Crotton,
who is spoken of as one of the most
intelligent and representative men of
his race, has published card announc-
ing that he will vote tor Cleveland
and take the stump for the Demo
cratic ticket. His reasons are the
Force bill and the tariff, and that
Harrison has not carried out single
promise made to the negroes. He
says he found hundreds of negroes in
Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama who
promise to vote for Cleveland.

burdens that Cypress US by reason of

complain with him about trusts, mo-
