crowd him in favor of Axtell. He will
therefore not take Allerton away from

ARE THEY TRYING TO DECEIVE
THE PEOPLE.

Let the people be not deceived. The
free and unlimited coinage of silver is
right. 1t is one of the demands of the
Alliance. Silver was demonetized
through stealthy fraud. 1t was a great
and henious wrong. 1t is n of the
prominent demands of the Democratic
party, as it has declared time and
again in it's platforms, and for years
through its press and public speakers.
But be it understood now and for all
time that the Reformers do not regard
it as a panacea for all our financial ills.
We know that as a measure for in
creasing the volume of currency, it is
totally inadequate. According to Mr..
Bland, it would increase it only about
$22, 600, 600, or 80 cents per capita It
is not therefore, in this light, that we
demand it, but we demand it, os q
means of rObbing gold Of ats pOwer to
Cypress. We value it as a stepping
stone to higher things. We want free
coinage of silver, but we want much
more than that, we want a sufficient
volume of full legal tender money to
meet the requirements of the legiti
mate business of the country, issued by
the government to the people at a low
rate of interest. We want this and
this agitation must never cease until we
get it, for that is the only remedy for
existing evils. With all true refOrmers
this is the great and the greatest of oil
issues before the American people.
Be not deceived by the Juror that is
made over free silver, for we will be
told that we should be content with it.
The careful and observant man could
not have failed to notice one significant
fact in connection with the discussion
of this subject. 1t is the careful and
studied evasion Of the currency ques-
ton by prominent old party leaders in
their writings and speeches, and by the
prominent old party papers. They talk
fippantly and v9hemently Of free sill
yer. but nothing is said about abolish
ing National Banks, nothing about is
suing more and cheaper money to the
people at a low rate of interest-not a
word. Let Alliancemen and all friends
of reform keep this steadily and CON
stantly in mind as the great question
and hold all men and all parties to it,
infexibly.

THREATENED REVOLUTION.

If any person had said ten years ago
that capitalists would resort to blood
shed in order to carry through their
enterprises, that person would have
been called a crank of the deepest dye.
But that is true today. We have an
organized gang of cut hroats called
Pinkerton detectives. They are kept
up by capitalists. They number 35, 900
or more than the standing army. Their
business is to keep laborers in check,
suppress strikes, shoot down men and
women who attempt to assert their
rights.
The Louisiana Lottery crowd of
toughs is the latest outrage. This
crowd have moro than a thousand men
in New Orleans who are drilling every
night and are thoroughly armed with
Winchesters, They will take part in
the April election in Louisiana, and
there is no telling what may be done.
Fellow citizens, do you want reform or

controlled by cut threats and legaIized

DYING OUT,

YES, the Alliance is dying" Now
and then a member dies, but his place
is sOon filled. 1.-The Alliance is losing
ground, " but the holders of the mort
cages are gaining ground every time
they foreclose.
The Order in North Carolina has
been in a comatose state for some
months owing to the financial condi-
ton of the farmers and other causes,
But it must not be understood that the
small paid up number of members or
the non-attending members are dead.
One day last week Bro. Powell, a
prominent and jealous member of Mid
die Greek Alliance, Wake county,
while in this Office, remarked that his
Alliance was on a boom. We asked
for further particulars. He said that
a good many had been careless about
paying up their dues or attending the
meetings, but at the last meeting 30

A COMPLETE BACK DOWN.

Week before last we asked the Land
mark some questions about old man
Tom Jefferson. The Landmark can't
give a satisfactory answer, but gets out
of it by saying that the professional
Farmer" called the Landmark a lia8
some time ago. With tears in it's eyes
and sobs that sound like a foghorn, the
Landmark refuses to come to time.
The Landmarks is mistaken about the
Liar" business. We did call the
Montgomery Advertiser a liar when
it published as a fact that "Col. Polk
carried a pocketfulI of free passes"
The Landmark copied the item and
naturally supposed thatit was a "liar"
also; and, though we insisted at the
time that it wasn't, it still insists that
it is. So we can't DO anything in such
a s as this.

DOES THIS APPLY TO YoU7

For thirty pieces of silver Judas be-
trayed his Master, then repented and
hanged himself. Arnold betrayed his
country for money and power, and
with what advantage to him? He
was hated by his countrymen and
summed and despised by those whom
he served.
Is it possible that for ambition-the
desire for power-the desire for fame
that a brother who has taken our
most solemn obligation and now holds
the respect and love of the Order,
should be willing to sell out" the Al
lance of this State to our enemies, to
forever receive the condemnation and
curses of his brethren?
Cromwell, I charge thee fling away
ambition. By that sin fell the angels;
how can man, then, the image of his
maker, hope to win by it?"

WHERE THE RESPONSIBILITY
OUGHT TO REST.

Mr.. EDTTOR:-The Democratic State
Convention has been called for Nav
18th, 1892. Rather early, perhaps.
Those interested in financial reform
should bestir themselves if they wish
to cooperate with or control this body
1. They should demand only such
financial reform as the majority of the
white men in North Carolina will an
prove, and no more. The peopIe are
not educated on finance vet, and all
that Is needed may not yet be had.
8. They should demand that thew
name the eleven electors who are to
voice this reform in the choice of a
PRESIDENT and Vice President of the
United States. The financial reformers
cannot afford any compromise of their
principles. The people are with them.
and II the convention does not agree
with them, they ought to insist on an
other convention which will represent
the majority, or take such other steps
to secure their reform as may be best
calculated for that end.
8. The electors should be uninstructed
as to any particular man or men. and
should be left untrammelIed in their
effort to find us a President and Vice
PRESIDENT who agree with the people of
North Carolina on the tariff and the
money question, and who are In svm-
pathy With the South and the interests
OF Southern agriculture. In the name
OF reason and common sense and the

Mr.. PEBBLES ARTICLE.

The articles from the brilliant pen of
Mr., w. J. Peele that have appeared in
this paper from time to time, have
been read with much interest and profit
by our friends. Mr. Peele is a young
lawyer who thinks on an independent
line. He does not borrow opinions,
neither is he afraid to express his own.
The article in this issue under head
Of "Where the Responsibility Ought
to Rest" was written for our last
paper but was held over for this week,
and the "P. S." added to it was written
for this issue. This article is on the
line of one that was refused by the
Atlanta Constitution some weeks ago.
There is nothing the partisan press
hate so much as a free discussion, and
whenever they attempt to suppress an
article, people should read 1T twice,
His article this week contains much
food for thought and is very sugges-
tive. Read it, study it.

NEW YORK, THE GREAT
"PIVOTAL."

Herculean efforts are being put forth
by Southern Democrats to secure the
nomination of D. B Hill, of New York
for the Presidency, because they say
THE success of the ticket depends on
carrying the great pivotal State of New
York" Southern Democracy espe-
cially, is solemnly pledged to free sill
yer. Is there a Democrat in the South
who believes that New York a be
carried for any man who favors free
silver? That State will repudiate Hill
or any other man who agrees with
Southern Democrats on this question.
But the shrewd Hill is working to com
NIT the South to him, and when the con-
vention meets it will Str0ddLe the free
silver question, and we predict that
many men in the South will stultify
their record and manhood by voting
for him.

PASS 1T AROUND.

A few days ago the papers began to
publish under big head lines that Capt.
B. NJ. Collins, a prominent member of
the Alliance in Warren county, has
withdrawn from the Order on account
of the action of the St. Louis Confer
ence." This was a sweet morsel for
the average newspaper tongue, but in
the Chronicle of Saturday we find a
resolution from Warrenton Sub-Alli-
ance stating that Capt. Collins had
been suspended eighteen months for
non. payment of dues. AS newspapers
claim to publish both sides of every
thing, we insist that they pass the
statement around and give Capt. Col
Inns a little more free advertising.
It is noticed that the State Chronicle
used much smaller type in head lines
over the Warrenton resolutions. This
is not a fair way to treat an advertiser.

SURRENDER OR SPLIT"

This is what the money power of
Wall street and New England says to
the people of the South and Northwest
on the silver question. Why will the
people of these great agricultural sec:
tions hesitate to divorce themselves
from this oppressive, a%utocratic power?
Will they lie supinely in the octopus
arms of this great power and allow it
to suck out their last drop of life blood,
or will they join with their natural al
lies and friends of the great Mississippi
Valley and the West and take possess
ion of the government and administer
it in the interest of the people This
is the great question Of the hour. How
will they answer it Democratic lead

also learn that Winslow and Mac donia
Alliances have been re organized
lately-both in Wake county. From
letters from all parts of the State and
by personal inquiry we learn that the
good work is going on all along the
line.
It is emphatically true that no Ali

neighbors to do the same. No matter
what happens this will be true Of any

the combined partisan press of the ma

unhurt as a citizen, soldier, legislator,
leader and a Christian. He has been
tried and found to be a pure man, and
as a North Carolinian we are proud of
him, and hope some day to see him fill
