Pr sioENr cLeTELsso,s INAUGURAL
As a statement of principles IN

As statement of principles III 3
vague and general way Cleveland's
Inaugural may be calied:a strung doc
rmen Bnt it is not remarkable for
what it says.b ut rather for what it
does not say. He advises the people
to live more economical, but does not
tell them whether he is in favor of
free silver and more money or not.
He should know that the people have
long ago been forced to be economi-
cal from necessity, aud that the lon
ger they work and the more they
make the less they have to live on.
II is an insult to people, already
in debt and suffering, 10 tell them to
be economical; while the pampered
classes who are living off of the labor
of the people are rolling in luxury.
Scarcity of money has been one of the
great causes that has produced this
condition, yet Mr.. Cleveland does not
say that he is in favor of increasing
the circulation; In fact we know that
he is in favor of contracting it.
He does not say whether We are to
have an extra session of Congress or
not.
He says ''me and my party" must
not go back on what We have said,
but We must be mighty cautlos about
that tariff buisuess. We publish the
address in full so all can see it for
themselves.

Having at last perceived that the
Legislature acted unwlselv as vel.
as unjustly in trying to repeal the
State Alliance charter, the partisan
papers are now trying to excuse the
mean and cowardly act. They say
that it was not intended as a thrust
at the Alliance, but a thrust at the
"Comorants who were living off the
organization. such as Marion But
ler." This is ridiculous. In the
first place, if we had been looking
for political capital we would have
sat still in our office and allowed the
Legislature to pass the bill repeating
the charter. They were anxious to
butt their brains out, ard it would
have been charitable to have let such
blind partisans succeed. But we
owed duty to the rank and file of
the organization who are greatly ben
Gifted by the Business Agency. 1t
was on their account we made the
fight.

What does Mr.. Cleveland mean in

No they did not do exactly that,

| Every man who works for ar hon
est living wants to see reform in on
government. You are one Of these
men. You are willing to fight and
work TO help TO bring about this re-
form.
You must do it. There is no hope
without it.
The best way TO push the reform
cause in North Carolina is TO circu-
late The CAUCASIAN.
There is no other paper in the
State that is turning on more light,
or hitting harder ticks and fight
ing stronger for the people.
If THE CAUCASIAN can reach
enough people, the cause is won.
You know it and we know it. Then
there is no way you can help the
cause more than by helping to
spread THE CAUCASIAN.
Have you sent in club?
The friends of The CAUCASIAN,
in every quarter of the State, are
pushing its circulation. Some have
sent large clubs, hundreds have sent
small clubs and promised to send
large ones soon.
If all of our friends will now join
hands we will soon have over 10000
subscribers.
We must have at least that num-
Der. If you have not sent us club
will you not do so at once, and not
let your neighbors miss another copy.

HOW THE SENATE STANDS ON sILVEF

HOW THE SENATE STANDS ON SILVER
The New York World has made a
poll of the United States Senate on
the silver question. 1t says that 80
Senators are opposed to the present
silver law, ~ are for it and 16 non
commital. This, however, throws
but little light on the question. Eve
ry man who is with the people would
be opposed to the present silver law
If he could get better one, on the
other hand every honest man would
rather have the present law than
nothing. When the question first
came up in the Senate we understand
that Ransom and Vance voted against
the law. That was right
and we made note of it and gave
them full credit. But the World
now reports Ransom as being in ia
vor of repeal. We hope this is not
SO. It seems to us that a man who
would vote to repeal the present sill
yer law, which puts $4,5OO,OOO in
circulation each month, is either a
fool or a knave. We can understand
how New York bondholder or bank
can be in favor of stopping the in
crease of the currency, but how a
man who is elected by such people
who live in North Carolina can ia
vor or vote for such measure is be-
You'd our comprehension. Money was
never so scarce since we can remem-
Der as it is now in this State. Bust
ness is stagnated. Don't repeal the
present silver law, but amend it so
as to put more money in circulation
and give it full legal tender func-
tons. That is what the people want
and they will vote that way two years
from now.

GRAPHS.
Especial to THE CAUCASIAN

The Wilmington Messenger refers
to the faithful as ''indigo-blue" and
'sky-blue" Democrats. After the
new administration has filled all the
offices the terms will apply very APP
propriately to those who got left.
Some of the Democrats refer to
the appointment of Judge Gresham
as ga great mistake" During the
campaign the Populist who dared to
doubt Mr.. Cleveland's infallibility
was condemned by these sheets as
fool or knave. Is it possible that the
great autocrat is capable of blunder-
ing? If so the American people
should quake with fear for the party
in power stands ready to do his bid
ding.
The report that Mr.. Cleveland will
allow most good Republican officials
to retain their places has caused wide
spread CONSERVATION among large
class of Southern Democrats. Those
who abandoned their cherished ideas
of government and proceeded to con-
denim all they had been demanding
should have some reward for their
disinterested exertions in the last
campaign.
During the campaign we were told
by such papers as the "World" that
the silver question was not an issue
IN the campaign. Now the "World"
Is urging a special session of congress
to repeal the silver law. What is
the meaning of tissue as used in
politics?
