Assembled on the anniversary of the birth
day Of the nation, and filled with the spirit of
the grand generation who established our inde-
pendence, we seek to restore the government
of the republic to the hands Of 1.-THE plain peo-
ple,: with which class 1t originated.
We assert our purposes to be Identical with
the purposes of the national constitution-to
form a more perfect Union, establish justice,
insure domestic tranquility, provide for the
common defense, promote the general welfare
and secure the blessings Of liberty for ourselves
and our posterity."
We declare that this republic can only en-
dure as q free government while built upon the
owe Of the whole people for each other and
for the nation; that II cannot be pinned tn
gether by bayonets; that the civil war Is over,
and that every passion and resentment which
grew out OF 1t must die with 1t, and that we
must be in fact, as we are in name, q united
brotherhood of free men.
Our country finds itself confronted by con-
ditions for which there Is no precedent in the
history of the world. Our annual agricultural
productions amount to billions Of dollars in
value, which must within few weeks or
months be exchanged for billions of dollars of
commodities consumed in their production.
The existing currency supply is wholly made
Quate to make this exchange. The results are
falling prices, the formation of combines and
rings and the impoverishment of the producing
classes We pledge ourselves that II given
power we will labor to correct these evils by
wise and reasonable legislation, in accordance
with the terms of our platform.
We believe that the powers Of government

TALK of lack of confidence! The
dirty, subsidized press is berating the
common people and saying the fault
lies with the small depositors, and yet
no greater lie was ever published.
Where is the greatest lack Of con-
fidence? Right in the New York
banks! In the very money center of
the country The banks of that city
are holding on to their currency and
refusing to issue it on checks of de-
positors. In some instances depositors
have had to pay a premium of l 4 per
cent to dr. w out portion of their
own money. Manufactures are shut
ting down and men thrown out of
work because the employers cannot
draw their money out of bank.

RANSOM ATTACKED.

An item has been published IN Tue
Wilmington Messenger, AsheViile
Citizen and few other papers, stat
ing that a meeting was held at the
villape of jackson, Northampton
county, and that resolutions endorS
;,o Vance and silver and indirectly
attacking Ransom were adopU7o.
We have ourselves been given infor-
nation regarding this meeting; 1t
came from reliable sources and we
will here state the main facts.
The meeting was public one IL
was addressed by Gen. Ransom, Mr.
B. S. Gay, Mr.. W. W. Peoples, DIR. K.
Fl. Stancill, Capt. T. W. Mason and
others. After the crowd had gone
away and only a small number OF
people remained, these resolutions,
conceived by a clique and presented
while nearly all but their adherents
had gone, were brought forth and
adopted.
This village meeting was seeming
" manipulated by few men who dc
not like Senator Ransom. One o.
the manipulators had been Wing

more consistent reputation as

the mountain people of North Caro-

the mountain people of North Caro-
lima are greatly encouraged by the
results. The principal of the noun
tanner girls school, at AshevIlie,
has gathered information about the
mountaineers that has aroused mucn
interest in the mission work among
them. She describes tt rec grades OF
the needy white people OF north
Carolina, including the bankers,
who live on the sandy coast. A
second class, the Crackers, are SO
called from their primitive way OF
preparing corn for food. Many OF
the crackers have formed an abnor-
NAL appetite for white clay found
in that section, which they eat be-
cause it contains a percentage OF
| arsenic. There is probably no evan
| oelicaI work being done among them:
| The third class is the 'mounta1neers,
| among whom d mission work is be-
| ing done by the Presbyterian church.
In Asheyiile is a girls school, and
the proposed farm school is designed
| for the education of the mountalneer
| boys.
"Many of these mountain people
are of Scotch Irish decent. Some OF
them fed from the British Isles DUR
ing the Presbyterian persecution OF
l174O. and from these have descended
some of the most prominent Presby
terrain families and ministers OF the
South. Others, being poorer, were
not able to hold plantations, ana sc
were pushed back until they were
hedged in by the mountains.
"Most OF their productive lane
consists of garden patches. A maj

affords. In the days of slavery tn

Thoughts for saints aud sinners.

Thoughts for Saints ann sinners.
From Rams Horn.l
Stinginess is one thing, and econo-
nv is another.
The devil never tires of hearing the
man talking church who will not pay
his debts.
There is no verse in the Sermon on
the Mount that reads, blessed are
the churches that get up pubhc en-
tertainments.
The devil would rather get one
Christian to throw mud at announcer
than to separate man and wife.
Some of the DEVILS best work is
done by careless people.
Aslong as the church is wide awake
the sinner cannot sleep.
A principle that is wrong is just as
wrong in politics as it is in religion.
The woman who talks about her
neiphbors is no worse than the one
who listens.
Christ is crucifed in heather ma
| tions by the way in which they trea
| their women.
Ifsome men had killed Goliah they
| would remind the Lord of it every
day in the week.
The preacher who gets the biggest
nav is often the one who has the
least to say about Christ.
1t would puzzle angels to know
| what some men mean when they put
a two cent piece in the hat.
Too many men go to praying JUS
as God wants them to go to paying

CAN MONKEYS TALK ?

The inquisitive genius OF man has
not recently gone into more pecu
liar inquiry than the question as TO
whether mokeys have an Intelllgple
language. Prof. Garner went from
America to Africa for the purpose OF
studying this question. He has just
returned bringing with him two
chimpanzees with which he says he Is
able to communicate. The professor
carried his big cage ESQ miles into
the heart of an African forest and
there waited for 101 days in the en-
deayor to translate the sounds OF
monkeys, In this search he was
aided by a monograph which re-
corded the different sounds. Locking
himself in his cage he would wait the
coming of the apes and try to com
municate with them. The professor
returns declaring that he has estab.
lished beyond a doubt that there is a
monkey language and that it can be
learned by man.
Let US ask ourselves what will be
| the result of this discovery. Must
| our attention be less upon Europe
ard more upon Africa? Shall we
seek to build up scheme of monkey
science and monkey history? Shall

Academy feel compelled, in order to
