in values could join hands and make
this money tightany time they wished.
1t is most profitable to the jugglers in
the cotton crop to make money tight
when the cotton crop Is to be moved,
If the quantity of gold were greatly
increased and those interested in limit
ing it's volume should be convinced
that it's production must h~enceforward
be far cheaper and easier, they would
seek as they once did seek to demone-
tie gold. The reason is obvious. They
have got the gold; anything which
supplies the demand for it cheapens it's
value, and by so much makes them
poorer. They r spectators in money
as well as in farm products. When
they have made a corner" on the
money market, they fight the intro
duction of more money just as Armour
fights the introduction of more lard to
break his corner on lard. Whenever
the supply of money is limited and it's
volume fixed so that it may be known
and may not be easily or speedily
changed, a combination of moneyed
men can make a corner" on it as
easily as they can on wheat, corn or
lard. Of course they object to the free
coinage of silver. We produce 118
million dollars worth of silver a year
in the United States, and if only this
were all coined it would add about "a
million dollars a year to our existing
circulation with its small present an
nual increase of about "a millions per
year, and the money corner would be
harder and harder to make every wear.
With sufficient silver and gold as the
basisfor a still more flexible currency,
another corner in money would be amin
possibility. With United States credit
as a basis for a flexible CURRENCY. such
a corner would likewise be impossible
certainly as long as such credit was
good. With farm products as the basis
for such a currency, no corner could
be made. The spectators in money
understand this perfectly; and they
fight all three of these schemes with
equal zeal. Jay Gould is reported to
have gone to certain banks in New
York some time ago to borrow rs mil
lion dollars. What security have
you got for so much money" thew
asked, "the best IN the world" replied
Gould, Just lock it up in your vaults
and Ill pay the interest on it." Thew
did it, and Jay became a stock-buyer
on a~contracted money market, reduced
in volume temporarily. Hebought till
he got enough, and then he quit paw
ing interest and the 70 millions were
turned loose. He began to sell then in

PEOPLES PARTY COUNTY CON,
VENTION.

The Johnston county Peoples party
nominating convention will be held at
the court house in Smithfeld on Tues
day, Sept. 9th, at II o'clock a. M, for
the purpose of nominating a legislative
and county ticket. Any voter who is
in sympathy with this great reform
movement and expects to vote with us
will be recognized as a delegate and en-
titled to all the privileges Of the floor.
We find this movement much stronger
than at first anticipated and believe by
united effort we can carry our county
for the Peoples party, and therefore
we urge upon all the townships to send
a large delegation and let us have a
grand rally. w. B RAINS,

THE SILVER

Mr.. Observation-Disclosures and wher-
ever the creditor class has been able it
has tempered with the measures of
the peoples produce-that is, tam
pered with the currency. For the past
twenty years the degradation of silver
has been the pet object Of this class all
over the civilized world. The purpose
of attempted degradation is patent.
The people have promised to meet
their obligations in dollars. If be,
tween the time of promise and the
time of payment the, value of the dol
lar is increased, they lose the differ
ence. This increase of the value of the
dollar is effected by diminishing the
number of dollars in circulation. This
diminution of the number of dollars in
circulation is effected by % total de-
monetization, always if possible, (2) by
partial characterization and legislative
discrimination against and degradation
of silver. This legislative descrimina-
tion tends to destroy the parity of the
two metals and to confuse values until
what is called business interests" rise
up and join hands with the capitalists
in demanding a "single Standard
gold, This Is the last act of the game
OF contraction Of coin circulation. The
fractional silver currency coined in the
United States since 1898 is 1876 millions.
of which something like 100 millions
(or as the gold-bug admits, n millions)
is still in circulation. The face value
of every dollars worth of this fraction
al currency coined since 1853 contains
S8 grains less silver than the silver dol
lar. Silver was very scarce in this
country when this law was enacted.
It's production was only $50, 600 a year.
But now since silver has become
"cheap, has the gold bug been heard
to ask that 3S grains be added to a dol
lars worth Of this subsidiary silver
coin to make it even with the silver
dollar9 Not a bit of it9 The effect of
this would be to increase the market
price of silver and tend to defeat his
scheme of degradation and eventual
demonstration. In the same way if
silver is too cheap the gold-bug ought
to ask that five cents be put into the
present nickel piece which intrinsically
Is hardly worth anything,
1.-THE supplyo of silver were suddenly
and permanently cut off, the cry
against it would cease. 1t would no
longer be "cheap money" it would be
scarce enough to make it profitable to
hoard it as gold is now boarded. The

one of the neatest of the season, shows
an enrolment of 253 students during
the past year, and an increase of pat
ronage of five hundred per cent. in
eleven years. The school is well
equipped and is located in a beautiful
and healthful community on the @. f.
& Y. V. R. R, thirty five miles south
of Greensboro. This school is highly
endorsed and recommended by a ma
jority of the best educators of North
Carolina. The catalogue shows that
the school has a thorough literary
course, with special preparation for the
University, Trinity, Wake Forest, or
Davidson College. The Business Col
lege work includes a complete CONNER
cial course, plain and ornamental pen
manship, ~telegraphy, shorthand, and
type-writing. The catalogue also

DEAR SIR:-Your letter of inquiry in
regard to the acts of General Weaver
while in command of this place was
handed me to answer l was between
Is and Is years old when Weaver was
here, and l know whereof I write, and
in support of what l shall write, Irefer
to a few citizens Of this county: j. P.
May, President Peoples National Bank;
z. w. Ewing, ex-Speaker of the Senate;
Tourney Rivers, State Senator; ]. B.
Stacey, ex-Clerk and Master of Chan,
Gerry Court, Thos E. Mccoy, Sheriff
Giles county, Col. Scion E. Rose, DR..
William Battle, DR. J. @. Roberts; S.
w. Butler, Judge of County Court; r.
H. Ragsdale, county trustee, and L. E.
Abernethy, President Commercial
Bank and Trust Company. Most of
these men were here and know the
facts. The others know from reputa
ton.
The said Weaver seemed to have a
perfect hatred for the Southern people.
He pillaged, robbed, prosecuted, Will
fed and abused our people in every
imaginable way.
He had citizens arrested and i'm
prisoned on trumped up charges, and
made to pay to be rescued. He made
the friends of D. K. Cox pay $500 for
his release. Mr.. Cox is dead, but his
son, Ed R. Cox, is living here, and can
testify to said facts. So can Maj. j..
B Stacey and Col. S. E Rose, friends
of Cox, who paid part of the money.
He robbed Mr.. Jasper Cox mo relation
to Mr.. D. K. Cox)Of 50, 600 worth of
spun thread. Josper Cox is a reliable
citizen of this county, and now lives
near Bohemian, Giles county, Tenn.
He robbed John P. Williams, an old
reliable farmer and soldier of the MeXi
can war, of all his hogs and meat. Mr..
Williams postoffice is this place.
He had DR.. J. @. Roberts, of this
place, arrested, and tried to make him
pay $500 for his release, but after he
found that the doctor would not pay
it, he turned him loose. The doctor is
now living, and will answer any letter.
On January 26, 1854, he made the fol
lowing parties pay the sums opposite
their names. l have the original re-
ceipt he gave my father, Charles G..
Abernethy. All the parties are dead
except DR.. VIM. Battle, who will cheer

Thos. Martin, $3.50; DR. VIM. Battle,
800; Chas. @. Abernethy, $3.50; Robt

$3.50; B. Alternately, 5000; Thomas B.

He claimed in his order that it was
for the support of Union refugees com
ing within his lines. Thos. E DAILY,
son of Thos B Daily, and VIM S. New,

the demands where they have led! If
they are to be found in the Democratic

they are to be found in the Republican

everybody, whether Democrat or Re-
publican, admits that our demands are
found In the Peoples party, and if we
are found there along with them, it
only shows how absolutely non par

Eyes, 1 know old Polkl I remember
just how he looks-the old cuss. One
day he and two doctors came into the
prison to inspect the sanitary condition
of the pen just as a wagon load of dead
soldiers was being hauled out. I vas
standing a few feet from Polk as the
load of dead soldiers passed and Polk
said to the doctors: That is just what
1 like to see; them damned Yanks
won't fight any more
"Oh, how I wanted to jump onto
him. 1 said to him right there that 1
was not going to please him, but I
would live to fight him again, Our
rations consisted of one pint of corn
meal, ground cob and all together; or
sometimes we got instead one pint of
cane seed ground, or wheat bran; one
pint of either was got for one day. We
had no meat or potatoes. We were
provided with nothing for bedding and
e compelled to lie in mud. God
only knows how any of us happened
to live through it all. Strong men went
down like grass before the scythe.
ooh, the intense suffering endured
in that hole car v be told. | have
counted seventy five dead in n day.
I would often say to myself: Will
nv turn come next? Fourteen of my
company were captured the same time
with myself and we're in the same
prison. am the only one now living.
Only one of them got out alive besides
myself, and he died within a few days
after he got out. We were starved to
death. | was in Salisbury prison three
and one half months. Gen. Polk was
in command and knew how we were
treated, and from what Isaw and heard
at the time, l am convinced that our
terrible treatment was by his orders.
Oh, yes, l would know the old brute if
I should meet him in a crowd of a
thousand" JOHN w. LAMB,
Exeter, Neb.
At various times Col. Polk was &C
cused of other things. For instance.
the Islander Bureau" reported that
he ordered Union prisoners shot in
Pennsylvania; that he was a d~efaulter
while Commissioner of Agriculture;
that he was a coward in battle, and
other things too numerous to mention.
That Islander Bureau" is at work
again. Watch out for its schemes. 1t
is needless to tell our readers that all
of these charges we're untrue.
