SENATOR MILLS IN 1886.

He. Has Woefullv Changed Since Then.
In 1886 when the silver question
was before congress, Senator Mills
who was then Il member Of the
House said
"Would you take the country
through the valley of the shadow of
death: Would you repeat again
that experience so full of lamenta-
ton and MORNINGS and woes? If
you would listen, listen to the soft
sweet notes of the siren as she sings
from the vaults of the national
banks about dishonest dollars. Drive
out into Punishment the old silver
dollar Of our fathers; call in the sill
yer certificates; retire all the Treas
ury notes; make money SO scarce that
the poor bankers in New York can
buy bushel of wheat for a dime, Il
pound of cotton for a penny; make
it impossible for people to pay their
debts; make labor so cheap that
working people can only earn mon
ey enough to pay interest to money
lenders and taxes to support the
government, and you will see again
the return of that night with all its
horrors intensified.
Sir, let the man who lives by the
sweat of his brow, and his repre-
sentatives her., be not deceived By
the shams and false pretenses that
are thrown around this measure that
is filled to the brim with the direst
Of consequesces to millions of peo
pie. Let the laborer remember, and
write it on his wristlets; carve it On
his frontlets, and wear it as an ANU
let over his heart; that scarce mon
ey is his sleepless and unforglving
foe, a foe whose bosom never swells
with a sigh or sorrow, whose eye
never moistens with a tear of pity.
No one can deny that it increases
the burden of debt which labor must
pay, deny that it makes the life
struggle dark and harder"
The Senator has now joined the
goldbugs and is trying to help do
the very damage he plead against
in 1886. Wonder what kind of ar
gument caused him to desert the
people:

JEFFERSON AID JACKSON
We're Opposed to Bank Of Issue Both
State and National.
Chairman,

We're Opposed to Bank Of Issue Both
State and National.
Andrew Jackson it was who said,
''if congress has the right under the
constitution to issue paper money, it
was given them to be used by them
selves, not to be delegated 10 indivi
duals or banking corporations"
Thos. Jefferson it was who said
Bank paper must bo suppressed,
and the circulating medium must be
restored to the nation 10 whom it be-
longs. 1t Is the only fund on which
we can rely for loans, it is our only
resource which can never fai! us, and
il is an abundant one for every neces-
sary purpose"
If you believe in the doctrine Of
Jefferson and jackson and have the
manhood to back up your belief with
your votes, what party will you be
acting with to-davi If.

To DISPOSE OF, 1S93.-In the fall
of 1892 there broke into our ranch
peculiar animal called A CHANCE.
He is many colored beast and is
peculiarly labelled. His brands are
unmistakable. On the right ear is
promise of "Reyenue Reform" "
while on the left is promise Of
"Free silver and more money" Down
his neck on one side are the words
"Better prices for labor" and on the
other side is GLOVER taxes" On the
left shoulder is "Opposition to ma
tional banks" and on the right is
"Down with the trusts" And so on
through al extensive list. This is a
very attractive animal, but it is very
much in our way now, and we ale
anxious to dispose of it. When We
ride down our favorite promenade,
Wall street, the big moneyed men
there laugh at us, and we'd rather
not ride him any longer. He carried
us to success last November, when
we were riding down among the peo-
pie asking for votes, but we can get
along better without him now, We
are tired of his labels. We are will
ling to dispose of him without money
and without price; indeed, we have
already turned him out 'to grass.

In Watauga county, N. c., near
Blowing Rock, on the top of the
Blue Ridge, there is spring, which
is the source of the Yadkin River; a
little further on is another, from
which flows New River; the one
empties into the Atlantic Ocean, the
other rolls on through ten States
and finally pours its waters into the
Gulf of Mexico. Also in Cambria

which finds its way into the Atlantic

INCREASE THE TOBACCO TAX.

The Richmond Despatch, says the
people of Virginia must not flatter
themselves that there is no danger
of an increase in the tobacco tax, to
be isued under the Internal Revenue
laws, the proposition to again resort
to a high tax on that commodity is
not only made seriously but is ad-
vocated by men protesting to be
Democrats. We have never favored
a repeal of the Internal Revenue
laws. so long as we needed a revenue
and had no better system of raising
it than ou1 Tariff system, but to see
the Democratic party favoring an
increase in the tax after they have
made war up on the system SO doing
and have made it the slogan of SO
many campaigns, make us feel like
welcoming consistency thou art a
Jewel: We need not be surprised at
the Eastern Wing of the Demo
cratic party, the plutocrats favorlng
all increase in anything that will
throw the burden of taxation upon
the masses. They, begin to see the
hand writing on the wall: They
fear that there is reality in the
demand for a graduated income ta1
and they will attempt to checkmoutf
the move by raising more tax from
the masses and then to an extern
avoid the necessity for a high in
come tax.

Cleveland was elected and Vorhees

Mr. GLENN, IT is TIME FOR YOU TO
SPEAK!

MR. GLENN, IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO
SPEAK,
Thousands of the people will re-
member that during the last cam
paign, when the editor of this paper
charged on the stump thatxAIr.
Cleveland was an enemy to silver,
and in full fellowship with the gold
bugs and monopoly, and further
produced evidence to that effect, that
Mr.. G. B. Aycock among other
speakers, emphatically denied the
charge; he declared that the President
was ID friend to silver, and a friend
to the people, and took upon himself
the responsibility of standing spon-
ser for his candidate. When we met
Nr. Glenn in joint debate, he was
so alarmed at our evidence, that he
even wrote to Mr.. Cleveland him
self, praying that he would send
him a personal letter, declaring that
he was in favor of both gold and
silver without discriminating against
either; in fact that he was for free
coinage of silver. Col. Glenn made
great ado about this letter, and
used it with much effect to break the
force of our argument before the
people to the contrary. 1t is now
evident to Mr.. Glenn, as we'll as to
every one else, that Mr.. Cleveland
made fool of him as well as other
speakers to fool and dupe the people.
Now if Mr.. Glenn is a patriot, how
can he fail to come out and publish
that letter, and denounce the hypo-
critical aud traitOrOus course Of the
President. If Mr.. Glenn fails to do
so, then he becomes particepS crlml-
mis-, and is no less traitor than the
President himself. Mr.. Glenn be a
man. your duty to the people as well
as yourself respectfully demands it
at this time. If no other paper will
publish an honest confession of the
whole matter, The CAUCASIAN will
| do so.

The control of trade through the
contraction of the currency or by
placing it in the hands and power of
few Is the analogue of the control
of the supply Of commodities through
the protective tariff. The principle
is the same. The man who under
standingly favors Cleveland's finan-
cial policy is protection;st at heart.
