The New York World says: Gov.
Mckinley will find that tho good
roads movement came too late TO
clear his rocky path in Ohio xvi.
IDENTIFY the World thinks the move
ment in Ohio was solely in the inter
eft Of the politicians. How about IL
in Moth Carolina'
The Galveston News says that the
Peoples Party is neither dead nor
sleeping. In this respect that paper
seems to agree with the learned Raj
eigh divine who, some time ago,
warned two Legislators about the
watchfulness and life of this party.
The Sanford Express publishes a
letter from Mr.. A. N. Self, one OF
our Populist Representatives at Raj
eigh. and ridicules Mr.. Self for writ
ing bad English. suggest that the
Express now get Mr.. Phillip, Mr..
Sells Democratic opponent, TO write
letter and compare the two. The
people preferred Mr.. Self, with com
mon sense, TO Nj. Phillips with no
sense Of any kind.
/ notice some Of the Democratic
State papers are suggesting that Hon.
Marion Bntler will be the Populist
candidate before the next Legislature
for the u. S. Senate. For once they
have made a good suggestion But
many of us think Mr.. Butler should
be the next candidate for vice-Pr
dent of the United States. How
would w. M. Stewart and Marion
Butler do for National leaders four
years hencef
1t is reported that our foreign com
merce in 1892 exceeded that of 1901
by 1886, DOC, 900. After ell the Ne
Kinley bill has not utterly destroyed
our foreign trade. The politicians
may howl tariff as much as they
choose, but after all the core Of the
political boil will not be reached till
the lancet Of common sense 10 applied
to our rotten financial system.
The Peoples Party 10 growing IN
strength and numbers in Chatham
county. We gave our candidate for
Congress about thousand majority
and we'll beat that next time. Ihavs
yet to hear Of q single one Of these
fabulous creatures 30 much talked
of by the partisan press. who will
forever henceforth vote the Demo-
cratic ticket" There are no political
craw-fish in the Peoples party in
Chatham.
The Chatham Record and the San-
ford Express are rejoicing because, as
they say, the Third Party" has kill
ed the Alli.nce in Chatham IL the
charge be true they should by all
means greatly honor the Third Par
ty," for it has accomplished what
they have tor long time been try
ing with all their might TO do, but
have never made any Roadway. But
the Alliance is by no means dead in
Chatham. At called meeting re-
Gently twenty-five out of thirty-fvs
Sub-Alliances we've represented, de-
spite the fact that the weather was
extremely unfavorable and several
Alliances did not receive notice Of
the meeting. 1t is doubtless true that
some Of the brethren have rnwisely
let their party zeal overshadow their
love for the Alliance, but they sre
seeing their mistake.
Kansas is progressive State. At
this time it easily leads the Union in
progressive ideas Of political econo-
my. I notice that there is serious
effort being made TO get the Legisla-
ture of that State to order that Urea
sury notes be issued to the counties
to the amount Of So, zoo, 900, and
that these be loaned on hand rs So
curity at four per cent. This propo-
sition seems radical and is apparent
" in conflict with the National Con-
stitution, but its friends urge that
North Carolina after the Revolution
airy Wal issued such notes, and that
they remained In circulation twenty
years, being as good as gold. That
Pennsylvania adopted this plan in
1S4I, and that Indiana followed suit.
They claim that in every instance
these notes circulated at par with
gold, and their constitutionality was
not questioned. After all il It Wis.
ionary plan ]. T. SPENCE.
