The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1892-10-20

SIR HENRY THOMPSON, the noted Lon
don physician, says that more than one-half
of the diseases of modern life are caused by
easily .ayQidable errors in diet.
1t is well known that the drunkard brings
his ruin upon himself; but it is startling to
be told in effect by so able a physician that,
but for our ignorance, 1t is as much a sin TO
be i'll as to be drunk.
The proprietors of Garfield Tea have
been doing missionary work in this field.
They include with each of the millions of
free samples they yearly distribute, valuable
medical essays on the use of hot water as e
remedy, and Of diet in disease and with
each package Of Tea a booklet worth its
weight in gold, written by well-known ny.
gienic physician, residing in New York and
London, and graduate of the New York
University Medical College. pointing out a
few simple rules whereby all persons Of or
binary intelligence are able to conduct an
attack of illness without calling a doctor !;
showing how to get well and keep well, and
how SO to live that no one need long use
Garfield Tea or any other medicine. I'm
til then, Garfield Tea helps overcome the
evils of bad diet and over-eating.
This booklet also gives the DR.. Salisbury
treatment of chopped meat and hot water !;
>iso .,c Seeie' VI 'hS success VI ens MuA cure
and the grape cure in Europe.
And also, why the great success attending
treatment at Carlsbad and other famous
health springs and shows how anyone may
substantially get all the good results that
come from such health resorts at home, by
following the rules plainly set out in the
little book
Why are physicians SO much opposed to
proprietary medicines? Is it because such
meritorious articles as Ponds Extract or
Garfield Tea become household necessities
and enable people to do their own doctorinp
and so keep money out of the pockets Of
physicians.

A Free Country.

Is this a free countryl Then
why has not every intelligent
free man a right to his own
opinion? Upon what grounds
do the different political par
ties abuse each other, calling
their neighbors and sometimes
their kinsmen by the most de-
graded names, wishing that all
such were dead and in hell, be-
cause they chose to vote accord
ing to their own judgment!
Has not my neighbor as good
common sense as l? Does
he not know that a vote which
in it's result would injure
me, would also injure him? Is
he not a reasonable man in his
business relations with his
neighbors; and do not the mem
bers of his church believe him
to be a gentleman and a christ
ian? Then who has constitu-
ted you a "dictator,'' and put
other people as good, and Of
ten times much better than
yourself morally, under your
dictatorial commands?
Again, what propriety or
common sense is there in call
ing up the early records of
candidates, making them &C
countable for acts for which
they may have repented long
ago and God has forgiven them;
holding up the little mistakes
Of youth, or the cratic conduct
of young life, so that the char
acter of good, christian men
now in the church and service
Of God are punctured, pealed
and riddled and torn to shreds
like the blades of a corn field
after a heavy hail storm?
Take care brother; your char
acter, if judged in the same
manner, would look like the
Irishman's bird after he had
shotall the "fithers'' away.
All this, too, because your
neighbor wants to exercise his
God-given right of a free man,
and cannot see as you do! Is
it not possible that your eyes
may be SO blinded by party
prejudice that you do not see
Alright! If you honestly think
your neighbor is wrong; tell
him SO in a Christirn spirit;
but you have no right to abuse
him, calling him a "fool," a
"devil," and wishing him Gin
help because he can't see as
you DOB. L. Alternately in
the Christian Advocate.

synonym for all that is good,

His great heart would break,
and he would go down in de-

sacrifices, hard labor and past

Bimetalism.

Notwithstanding the fact that "a
States in the Union declared for free
and unlimited cainage of silver in
their platforms in 1890, there are
some to-day who say that free and
unrestricted coinage of silver will nc:
be of any benefit.
This is singular when the senti-
ment in favor of it was so strong two
years ago. And it is wonderfully
strange how these States, represent
ing three-fourths of the Union. could
have gone SO far wrong Each State
in its platform generally, presents
the needs of the people, and seeks
to give the remedy. A change of
present financial system was desired
and along with the demand for free
and unlimited coinage of silver was
a demand by some of the States for
the abolition of National banks-and
allowing the Government only to is
sue the money.
This was in harmony with the true
principles of Democracy. 1t meant
that the affairs of the Nation should
be managed by the Government it.
self-that no corporations, combina-
tions or individuals should conduct
il affairs.

Where Powderly Stands.

The old political parties have both
undertaken to place Mr.. Powderly in
an equivocal position SO as to mis-
lead the labor organizations. Much
valuable space has been devoted to
this, only to be dashed to the ground
by the following concluding para
graph in his last weekly letter to the
Journal of the Knights of Labor.
Mr.. Powderly says:
Now, let us suppose case and ask
for advice. If instead of electing
the President of the United States
through the electoral college we de-
eide the contest by popular vote, and
the man who had the greatest num-
Der of votes would be elected, and if
Harrison had one million votes,
Cleveland one million votes, and
Weaver one million votes, none of
them would be elected. Suppose
that had not yet voted and that no
one else could vote after me, my vote
would decide the issue, would it not!
Now, the advice that l ask for is,
which of the three should / vote for?
l will venture the assertion that
million working men in this United
States would make ready to march
Scranton to hang me for being
traitor if did not vote for Weaver.
They would be right. [ would be
traitor, and l really believe that l
should be hanged for not voting for
him. quite agree with. the million
who would hang me for treason, and
they should not refuse to agree With
me when say that each workingman
who will not vote for him should be
regarded in the same light. Coming
as close as one vote is what would
cause the one million to make ready
to hang me, and it is only fair to pre-
sumo that among> the million there
would be some. hundreds of thous-
ands, more Or less, who did not vote
for him themselves. The thought
that each vote is required to foot up
the grand total does not seem to
weigh before election. Fear of the
other fellow should not influence us.
for, no matter which of the two old
parties win, We will lose. Without
waiting to know how the other mil
lions intend to vote, / have resolved
to give mine to Gen. James B. Wea-
yer, and in doing so will be acting
consistently with the instructions
given me by the Geneaal Assembly.
| which directed me to assist in franz
ing political platform to which we
may give our support at the polls. !"

All of the eminent statesmen anu
apostles of Democracy. such as jei-
feison, Jackson and others, contend
ed that he issuing of the money OF
this country shou'd be kept out OF
the hands of individuals, corpora
tons or combinations. They main
tanned that great danger lutked IN
the issuance of a nations currency
by corporation.
The party to-day would not be
recognized by Jefferson, jackson and
others. 1t has been swept from Its
moorings. It has departed from the
Fundamental principles and teachings
as formulated by those immortal pa
triots. Obedience to the money
powers and cringing at their feet are
characteristic to-day. The rule of
the people is crushed out.
The fact that the free coinage is
sue was so soon dropped out OF dis
cussion is an evidence of this.
What the masses want is a main
tenance of the parity between gold
and silver at ratio of 10 TOT. They
do not want a silver dollar as big as
a cart wheel. They want silver re-
stored to parity with gold-a posi-
ton it held for years until it YVES
fraudulently demoneytized. When
free coinage is denied silver it is nat
ural that it would depreciate. If
gold were demonetized to-day it
would Immediately sink in value.
The American Cyclopedia says:
"Demoneytize the precious metals
and laborer would no longer give
weeks work for bit of gold and
silver, which he could do nothing
with except to give his wife as an or
nament. Men would no longer con-
sent to be paid in bits of metal which
no grocer, or butcher, or tailor would
accept in exchange for goods.
The Cincinnati Enquirer says
"The Enquirer would have it dis
tinctly understood that it is decidedly
and uncompromisingly in favor of
the full restoration of silver at its old
ratio with gold, whatever may be the
result of the International Monetary
Conference, and that it is opposed to
all banks of issue, whether chartered
by the States or the Federal Govern
ment. Paper money is necessity,
and only the Federal Government
should supply it. Gold, silver and
Treasury notes should constitute our
circulating medium, all furnished by
the Government, all interchangeable,
and full legal tender in payment of
all forms of taxes, duties and debts. :"

Now, if the Government owned

brought under one system, and the
above mentioned gentry would be
almost entirely dispensed with, and
there would still be enough opera

Governor Northen, of Geor-
gia, in. recent speech, gave
ntterance to the following in
human, barbarous utterances,
which cannot be read without
a shudder OF horror. Listen
to what he says:
"Strike your wife, wqo in
her youth gave you her warm
est affection. ''Strike your
wife," who has been your nurse
through evory hour Of sickness
and your comfort and joy
through every hour of health.
"Strike your Wife" who has
shared with you every moment
of poverty and distress, and
who, if you have reached COM
fort and independence, helped
you to reach it and helped you
to enjoy it.
Strike this faithful, tender,
pure and loyal woman-strlke
her cruelty and brutally, strike
her as brute beast would be
ashamed to strike-but don't
you ftrike the dear, old Dem
ocratic party.
But that is not the worst of
it.
What else did he say in that
speech! "Strike your child,
which tonight will kneel at
it's mother knee, robed in
white, lisping the prayer OF
infancy, Now I lay me down
to sleep
eyes, strike your child
innocent, pure and loving. Not
only that strike her as she's
clothed in white, typical of the
unblemished sinlessness Of her
being.
Concerning which the CALI
lean said, ''of such are the
Kingdom of Heaven Not only
that, strike her as she kneels
at her mothers knee as the eve
ming quiet shadows gather
about the old homestead and
and the quiet stars begin to
look through the tree tops
where the katydids are singing.
Not only that, strike her as
she opens her sweet lips in that
first pray of childhood-''Now
| lay me down to Sleep
Strike her as her tender mind
communes with the good God
under her mothers sanity
teachings. Kneeling at that
mothers knee robed in white,
the most innocent, touching
and endearing scene in all the
domestic life of the sons of
men.
Yes, strike her; strike the
praying lips into silence heart
lessly with the malice and cal
BUSINESS of a very devil. Yes,
do all this, s'but dom t strike the
dear old democratic party
These are the sentiments of
the present governor Of Georgia.
This is the inhuman, blasphe-
nous advice of the chief exec
utive of that State to the peo-
pie over which he is called to
administer the laws. Is there
any crime in the calendar that
he does not advise being COM
mitted in defense of the con-
tinuation of the reign of De-
mocracy? If there is, it is too
brutal to mention. Yet this
man passes for a christian in
stead of a heather. He is said
10 go IN prayer 10 the same
God with civilized humanity,
instead of worshipping stocks
and stones as his own brutal
instincts would determine. The
evidence is both complete and
conclusive, that the Democracy
of Georgia PINNED the out
rage on Gen. Weaver and are
now gloating over the result.
Let every one remember That
INSTANTANEOUS consummated in
the State that made itself glo-
rious by giving to the country
