There is a Third party campaign
paper called the Virginia sam, really
run in the interest of, and doubtless
with the money of the Republican
party, which is circulating free among
the farmers. 1t pretends to be opposed
to both old parties, but even a casual
glance at it shows that it is intended
to injure the Democratic cause. 1t is
designed to poison the minds of the
Alliance people and silver Democrats.
1t seeks in every sinister and sly way
to make Democrats dissatisfied, and
stuffs them with all kinds of Mum
chausenism about what the Democrats
have done and what they have not
done. 1t does not exchange with the
regular Democratic press for fear of
having it's unfair and shallow state
ments. punctured with the blade of
truth. Beware, of it, farmers it is
fooling you. 1t is a wolf in sleeps
clothing, and desires only to get into
the fold that it may slaughter the in
nocent and unsuspecting. -No7JOlk

The paper referred to is edited by a
Republican, and is rendering the Re
publican party all the service it can
by its endeayors to get the Alliance
men to vote for the Third party ticket.
The Republican party of this State
and of all the Southern States are re-
lying upon the Peoples party" so
called to re-elect Harrison, and have
the Force bill passed if they succeed in
getting a majority in the House OF
Representatives. How any man in the
South can vote for the Third party
ticket is wonder.

A True History of the War.

To those who know how unjust the
histories of the war, written by North
ern men, are to the South, will be
gratified to learn that the surviving
Confederates have set plan ON foot
for the preparation of history which
will do impartial justice to the South.
To this end it is announced that Gen
eral John B. Gordon, general com
handing Confederate Veterans, has
appointed the following committee, in
accordance with the unanimous vote
of the convention of delegates as
sembled at New Orleans on April 9th,
1892, as a historical committee and on
Southern school history ito formulate
plan to secure true and reliable
history of the late civil war, and to
select proper and truthful history of
the United States to recommend for
use in the public and private schools
of the South: Lieutenant General E.

Encouraging Prospects.

Hon. H. st. Geo. Tucker, who has
been canvassing in the counties of the
district East of the Blue Ridge, is very
much encouraged by the prospects of
the party in that portion of the State.
1t is nat believed that the Third party
will be able to draw off many Demo
Gratis from the support of the true peo-
Piles party-the Democratic party.
Why any Democrat should fail to
support the Democratic nominees in
this campaign, is one of the wonders
of the times. The action of the assum-
ed leaders can be understood, for they
are disappointed office-seekers who
wish to wreak their revenge on the
Democratic party; but what can be the
inducement for others to follow them
against their own best interests is what
puzzles the minds of rational and liber-
ty-loving people, 1t looks like insani-
ty or worse.

Gen. Stevenson and the Force Bill.

In his great speech at Bloomington,
ILL.,, last Saturday, Gen. Stevenson,
Democratic candidate for Vice-Presi-
dent, after discussing the financial con-
dition of the government and the
tariff, concluded by referring to the
Force bill as fOllOws:-
THE FORCE BILL.
Another issue of great moment in
the pending contest is the force BILL
The magnitude of this issue cannot be
overstated. 1t may mean the control
of the election of Representatives in
Congress by the bayonet.
The republican party, by ats acts in
the Fifty-first Congress and by its
platform in its late national conven-
ton, stands pledged to the passage of
the force bill. That it will pass this
bill when it has the power no sane man
can doubt. To all the people-all who
desire the peace and prosperity OF our
common country-this question is i'm
portant. To the people of the South
ern States it is one of transcendent i'm
portance. Shall they still have peace
and the protection of the law; or shall
the horrors with which they are
menaced find their counterpart only in
those of the darkest hours OF the re-
construction period?

A Brave Hero,

You may be ON the right side, God
knows; but our duty is the duty of sol
diers, and we will fight you whenever
you press us. You may crush this force
like an egg shell, il you can, and you
may also then bury us in one ditch"
These were the brave words of Keller
Anderson, in command of the men
guarding that convict stockade in the
mountains of Tennessee. They were
his answer to the demand for surrender
made by that desperate band of miners
who threatened to annihilate every
thing before them. To later demand,
when resistance seemed hopeless, his
reply was '..Neyer!''
Finally, when he had been seized by
the maddened force and gun was
levelled at his head with the threat of
death unless he ordered the surrender
of the guard, the brave old hero said,
'Tell my daughter died like soldier, "
and then added, "Now, damn you,
shoot"
Such sublime bravery and Loyalty to
duty stamp Keller Anderson as hero
of the highest type.-N. Y. Herald.
We will simply add, what the Herald
in the above omitted to state, that this
General Anderson was Confederate
soldier, and is specimen of the i'm
mortal heroes who belonged to the
army of the Southern Confederacy.

Uniform Wages.

Under the above heading, the New
York Journal of Commerce maintains
that labor organizations ought. to be
abolished for the reason that the
theory that all employed in aegiven
trade or occupation ought to receive
the same compensation lies at the very
foundation of Trades-union. 1t says,
''the carpenters find some men at work
at $3.50 day, some at So and $3.50 and
others at a day. They argue that if
a union was formed then one rate,
much higher than the average, could
be enforced for all. The organization
is completed and rate is fixed which
employers must pay or a strike will
follow. If the four dollars is the price
selected then it is clear that some men
must be paid more than they are worth
or be left to idleness. If a lower rate
is chosen then the best experts, who
can earn a higher price, are limited in
their pay below the legitimate com
pensation to which they are entitled.
Uniformity of pay is premium on
laZiness and mediocrity. What en-
couragement has bright youth who
is learning a trade to perfect himself in
it so that as a workman he stands head
and shoulders above his fellows if he
must be content with the same com
pensation given to the poorest crafts
man working at his side? And if all
work by the hour at a given price why
should one who is quick and smart do
his best for his employer when the
slowest of the gang receives the same
pay? If it is said that in the long run
such uniformity will secure places for
the better class of workmen, leaving
the others idle, then there arises
another question of equal Importance:
Why should one not quite as gifted as
the most expert, or who has lost little
OF his expertness through advancing
years, be kept from service on that
account ?
There is not any ground whatever
for the maintenance of uniform scale
duu lIlt VI 5cFNlC6 db d less
price. The man who is honest and
faithful and can earn but $3.50 a day
is as much entitled to place where he
can make his living as the more ac-
complished laborer who is cheap
enough at 81. If the average switch
man is well paid at 25 cents an hour
then some in the service do not earn 20
cents, and the best are worth 80 cents
an hour and cheap at the money The
equalization of prices, brought about
by an established scale of wages to
which all must conform under the
pains and penalties which have been
inflicted so often before the eyes of
patient and long-suffering people, is
against the interest both of employer
and wOrkmen, and hostile to the we'll
being of ST ciety. For this reason if for
no other the labor organizations ought
to be abolished"

ty is now making to re- elect Mr.. Har-

Mr.. Weaver is on record as having
spoken of the Southern people as "a
hungry, rebellious, man-hating, wo-
man selling gang, colporated under the
name of Democracy name that should
be handed over to the barbarians that
it so fifty now, and in all the past, has
represented"
This is the man for whom the farm
ers of Virginia are invited to vote in
the coming election as the candidate of
the so called Peoples party for Presi-
dent. Wouldn't he make a lovely Pres
ident, and isn't that an exquisite senti-
ment which every Southern man who
votes for him must endorse Benjamin
Harrison never said, where he could be
leard, anything half as mean as this,
and we doubt if he ever thought any
thing as ugly. Weaver, indeed Men

Candidate of the PEOPLES Party.

The Convention of the Peoples par
ty, so-called, met at Amherst G. H.,
last Friday and nominated l.. M. Rob-
ertson, of Appomattox county, for Con
gress for this, the 10th district. The
object is to defeat Hon. II. st. g. Tuck
er, who is one of the best Representa-
tives this district has ever had, and
who has done as much or more for the
interests of the farmers than any other.
This move is in the interests of the Re
publican party, whose policy is adverse
to the interests of the farmers, and the
farmers should rally to his support with
great unanimity, for he is their friend
can do more for them than any other
man whatever.

TICKET OF THE SoCIALISTs.-Ther
is another side-show ticket in the field,
the Socialists on Sunday last, having
nominated Simon Wing Boston tailor
for President, and Charles H. Matchett,
a carpenter of Brooklyn, for Vice-P Pres
ident. This party wishes to abolish the
offices of President and Vice President,
and the Senate, and to have the gov
ernment run by an Executive Board
and the House of Representatives.
This is the first time the party has
ever put national ticket in the field.
The delegates explain the present move
by saying that the constitution pro-
vides for such offices, and that until
they can amend the constitution to
provide tor the government of the coun-
try by an Executive Board they must
submit to the constitution.

Expect us to Work for Them.

The Baltimore american, a Republi-
can paper, says in a late issue,
speaking of the situation in Virginia :
1.-THE Republicans are standing to-
gether watching the dissensions, and
making ready to take advantage of the
results of the quarrel. If they can win
the fight by having their opponents do
it for them, it is clearly saving of
powder"
That's it exactly. Gen. Field has as
serted most positively that Virginia S
vote will go to Harrison. He calcu-
lates that the Third party vote will do
that by taking away from the Demo
cratic vote. This is what the Ameri-
can means by it's assertion that if the
Republicans can win the fight by
having their opponents do it for them,
it is clearly a saving of powder" We
do not believe the farmers of Virginia
intend to be made Republicans in this
way-.RichpOnd State.

Helping the Republicans.

The Lynchburg VirginiGn says
1.-THE Third-party people in Virginia
are helping the Notwithstanding
ly helping them-and if Harrison does
not carry the State it won't be their
fault.
Their whole fight in Virginia is
against the Democratic party. Their
speakers handle the Republicans very
gently, while abusing the Democrats
roundly and charging them with the
responsibility for Republican legisla
ton and with the faults and shortcom-
ings of the present Republican admin
istration, three years of which have
cost the country 1914, 600, 900 more than
corresponding three years of Mr.. Cleve-
lands administration. And in the ad-
joining State of North Carolina they
have gone SO far in their march toward
Republicanism as to nominate a negro
Republican for the legislature. They
haven't reached that point in Virginia
yet, it is trne, but judging from the ut
terances of their speakers and the evil
dent understanding that exists between
them and the Republican managers,
there is little or nothing in the way of
a complete coalition. That will doubt
less come later on"

What Weaver has said.

The following are few extracts from
the speeches of Weaver, candidate of
the peoples Party so-called for
President
He (Weaver) said at Abba ON July
IS, 1866:
II want to congratulate you first, fell
low-citizens, on the suppression OF pure
ly democratic rebellion, gotten up by
democrats for the democratic purpose
of discovering this Union and perpetu-
ally establishing human slavery. Now
and forever it Is establishing as an ex-
ternal trnth,that the democracy in no
place or State can ever be trusted with
government. AS party it should dis
band, just as a section of it did at APP
pomattox."
He said in Oskaloosa, September 25,
1879:
No republican can ever, under any
circumstances, have any part or lot
with the hungry, rebellious, man-hat-
ing, wOman-selling gang cOrporatcd
under the name of democracy, name
SO full of stencil and poison that it
should be blOtted from the vocabulary
of civilized man and handed over to the
barbarisn that it SO fifty now and in
all the past has represented.
He said ina joint debate with Colonel
H. H. .Trimble at Bloomfield on Sep
TENDER 4, 1858:
Here we have the old fight over
again. The Confederate democracy,
North and South, in which the infa-
nous Copperhead division in Iowa ap-
pears, are again contesting with Grant
for the safety of the Union. AS at
Donelson, he proposes to move on their
works at once and there is no escape
for this rank, traitorous horde, except
in another'surrender. Charge on them,
fellow-repubIicans, and spare not one,
not not even fdspgty fSad fro"
How can Virginia democrats support
a man who has thus vilified the people
of the South
