A Crying Need,
Wcstern plnnman.

T
 A railroad company carries a pas- senger in an easy, luxurious carriage, charging him three cents mile, and the farmer kicks about 1t, claiming it to be excessive. Yet those same farm CTS are taxed for the construction of roads. and they get roads that are worth a dollar mile to travel over considering the time wasted, the tax on horseiesh and vehicles and the waste of produce they are unable to ge; to market. There should be general road commissioner in every state whose sole duty should be to examine the public highway and see that the roads are constructed in the proper way There is money enough wasted every year in botching the roads to construct good ones. and it is high time that we reform our ways-the ways we travel on especially.

WEAVER GAINING.

See extracts from the New York
World in another column. That
paper sent special reporters to all the
States west of the Mississippi river to
ascertain the true political situation
there. Last Sundays issue contains
several columns of reports which
show that Weaver is almost certain
to carry at least nine States in the
West. This shows what noble work
the refoYmsrs out there are doing.
1t shows that they have not been
frightened, bull-dozed or fooled by
the demagogues Of the Republican
party who have been begging them
to 60 back to the Republican party,
and telling th.m that . vote for
Weaver was vote for Cleveland. 1t
shows that our brethren out there
have had the back bone of men and
the courage Of patriots to stand true
to their principles against the ma
chine and the party lark. Will the
South do as we'll? II no other
Southern State shows its loyalty to
the cause its good faith to the West,
let North Carolina do it. Let every
reforner 60 to work with renewed
energy aud carry this State for Wea-
yer. Let us show the other South
ern States what they ought to have
done and prove to the West that
there is one State South that has the
courage to stand by them.

STAND BY YOUR PRINCIPLES

Congressman Bum, of this State,
a staunch advocate of free silver,
said:
"Mr. Speaker, ! was shocked this
morning when l picked up the
Brooklyn Eagle "a Democratic news
paper) and read a marked piece head
ed eff the South wants the Force
bill the South can have it." | will
not read the article. It ought not to
have been written, and | will let it
crest in peace"
''This article, Mr.. Speaker, is but
a threat from the New York Democ-
racy that we must vote with them or
they will turn their backs upon US.
We have followed their leadership,
Mr.. Speaker, over a quarter of a
century, and We have never preferred
q single demand as a condition pre-
cedent to our devotion to their cause.
We have not asked them to put a
single plank in our platform, but
we have followed their lead, we want
to do so again, but they seem de
termined to drive us into measures.
This they can not do. The first time
we prefer q request they say: "If
yen persist in demanding that re-
quest (the free coinage of silver we
will say that you can go under Re-
publican rule"
Friends, this shows who favor the
Force bill. The Caucasian urges all
to vote against both of the old par.
ties and then the Force bill question
will be settled forever. Be not dis.
turbed about the Force bill. Vote
your convictions like free men.

The majority of the men nomina-
ted by the Democratic party for the
Legislature are opposed TO Rail-
road commission. They were two
years ago, and if they get control
they may repeal it They are op-
posed 10 6 per cent. interest They
are opposed to making the Railroads
pay just taxes. They are opposed to
the reforms demanded by the people.
If you want the same class of men
who controlled largely the last Leg
islature, you must elect the noml-
nees of the People'sparty. The Leg.
islature is very important The
people must control 1t. The Rail
roads are working to elect the Demo
cratic nominees. Watch aud see

Remember that we have no daily

TO YOU before the election. So do not
believe any campaign lie that our
enemies may start between now and

The New York World has reports
on last Sunday from every State west
of the Mississippi river. They show
that the Peoples party ID very strong
there and stand q good chance OF
whipping both old parties. The
World admits from its reports that
Weaver will carry the following
States: Colorado, Idaho, Kansas,
Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, North
Dakota, South Dakota and Wyo-

ming.
This is glorious. Every one OF
these States went for Harrison four
years ago. Now how many States
will we carry for Weaver that went
for Cleveland? Will we let the West
out strip us in devotion to principal:
Remember that every Republican
speaker up there has been bowling
that vote for Weaver was q vote for
Cleveland, and yet our people have
stood firm. Let every reformer IN

DOUBLE FACED.
Let Every Man Who FavorS Free
Silver Read This.

The silver plank in the Chicago
platform is straddle. It was made
so, in order that Democratic speakers
South might interpret it to mean
free silver, while Democratic speak
ers North could interpret it to be
opposed to free silver. As evidence
of this We quote the following from
a speech made IN Brooklyn by Carl
Schurz advocating the election of
Cleveland. He said:
q regard the free coinage move
ment as gradually dying out, on one
condition, If Mr.. Cleveland is elected
to the Presidency. As President he
can render a service to the cause,
which Mr.. Harrison, be his financial
principles and purposes ever SO cor
rect, will be incapable of rendering.
Under Cleveland's leadership the
free coinage heresy viii lose its foot
hold III the party In which it is now
the strongest Numerically. And
thus the fight will indeed be decid-
edly won and ended. There is one
thing, however, which may restore
the free coinage movement to new
hope, life and strength, that is the
defeat of Mr. Cleveland in this cleo
ton"
Now, there you have it. Accord
ing to Dir. Schurz, if You are in ia
vor OF free silver it is YOUR duty to
vote against Cleveland, if you are
opposed to free silver then vote for
HIM and half kill it. The above
speech was published in the Northern
papers but not in the Southern and
western papers. Why? DO you
see the trick ?

j NEW AND DANGEROUS
ISSUE.
The New York World says ::

lC INCW 1VIA Nollo says
can issue which ought never to
arise in politics has become the
overshadowing issue of this cam
paign. The issue is between an hon
est and a dishonest election! Shall
q party that has not a majority or
plurality Of the votes win by cheat
ing, stealing, and by the corrupt use
OF money: This has become an is
sue overshadowing the tariff, the
currency, the Force bill, civil-service
reform, everything else. Men may
differ on these questions and be hon
est-minded. The worst that can
happen, however they may be de-
termined, can be corrected in time.
But the deliberate attempt to de-
bauch the ballot box, steal the cleo
ton and prevent tho will of the pso-
pie is a crime that strikes at the
heart of Liberty and the life blood
of the Repu blic."
Can it be possible that the New
York World had heard how the
Democratic machine is managing in
North Carolina? There is every in
dication that they are preparing to
steal and cheat. So hsre too the
oyershadowing issue now is an hon
est election.

would drive every Southern Demo-
crst except the bankers and Office
seekers out of the party. Every
measure intended to give the agri-
cultural population a fair show in
the race, even when the Democracy
had both houses Of Congress, has
been defeated by the so-called
Northern Democrats going in with
the Republicans to sustain the plu-
tocracy. Who in this last Congress
with 148 Democratic majority in
the lower house defeated the free

cd BY Southern and Western States :
Sixty-one so-called Democrats put
themselves under the command of
ex-Speaker Reed and voted with the
Republican minority and SO defeated

eleven States.

These men, and l will mention few

vice to their Republican constitu-
ents by claiming to be Democrats,
aud this accounts for their course in
saving Harrison frsm the awful
dilemms of having to sign or veto d
free coinage bill. What think you
men Of the South, of your Northern
allies? Can you longer trust them
after these repeated betrayals. AL
that prevents the destruction of the
odieus Republican party Is the ex-
istence Of "solid Democratic
South" The Republican party is as
dependent for its existence Oh the
maintenance Of the so-called Demo.
cratic party as was the Siamese twin
Chang upon Eng. The death of the
Democratic party means that the
Peoples party will walk ever the
grave of the odloas Republican party
next November. If after your re-
peated betrayals to Wall street you
continue to fall down before the

mortgage slaves who grow cotton fol
less than six cents per pound. One
word in conclusion: The Peoples
party ticket stands for every demand
Of the producers, and its candidates

above either of the nominees of tn,
Insurers Harrison and Cleveland. L

What Some Things Have Cost.
Harper's Young People.

The magnificent national capitol
at Washington has cost, since the
laying of its cornerstone in 1898,
very nearly $15,O0O,OOO, but the
State capitol of New York, at AL
bany, although not yet completed
according to the architects design,
has already cost almost $4,000, 900,
and the most expensive, building of
modern times.
The largest and most expensive
city hall in the United States is that
of Philadelphia, and its principal
tower is to contain the largest clock
in the world.
A broken wooden horse with which
Napoleon Bonaparte played when d
child was recently sold for 1000
francs.
The greatest price ever paid for a
horse was $15O,OOO, given by Mr.
Malcolm Forbes, of Boston, for Arion
which he bought from Senator Stan
ford, Of California. Axtel, the trot-
ter, brought 100000 when three
years old, while in 1891, st. Blaise
was sold for 100000.
One hundred and three thousand
dollars has been offered and refused
for Hebrew Bible now in the Ii
brary of the Vatican at Rome. This
makes it the most valuable book IN
the world, SO far as dollars aud cents
go.
In 1885, when the entire Dutch
nation was crazy upon the subject of
tulips, q single bulb was sold for
$4,000. At such prices it would pay
better to raise tulips than to own the
most valuable gold mine in the
world.
Speaking of gold mines, where do

ABOUT REGISTERING.

There is rumor current that
good many voters have failed to COM
ply with the law in registering their
names, and while they may be known
to- be legal voters; yet a despotic set
of poll-holders may deny them the
right to exercise this privilege. The
poll-holders, in different localities,
however, may construe the law diff
ferently, and where they know the
voter to de legally qualified may
grant HIM the right to vote. We
take it that all Of the poll-holders,
when it can be shown that the elector
has been legal voter up to The pres
ent, and though he failed to state his
full Christian name when registering
will allow said elector to cast his
ballot. 1t will not do to take adj
vantage of q slight technicality. II
John D. Brown was so registered
and allowed to vote in 1890. he
should not be deprived of his vote
because he is not registered John
Doe Brown in 1892. The law say.
give the full name by which the
voter is known, and certainly there
are few men whose "middle" names
are known.
The constitution grants every man
(not convicted Of crime) the right Of
suffrage, and Democracy means the
rule of the people, therefore it ma
jority are denied the right to vote be-
cause their full Christian name was
not given, and the minority elect the
men to the various offices, then there
is no Democracy. tits minority rul.
which is antagonistic to Democracy.
We do not believe that an intelli-
gent, fairminded public would tole.
rate the acknowledgements of a voter,
because his full Christian name was
not entered On the registration books.
The denial of suffrage may result in
carrying elections in some sections
but it may result in defeat in others.
VS. should think that Senator Vance
would know how to register correct
~ his name.
