attempt to crush the Alliance and

the passage of bill by the House
without notification or discussion,
repeating the charter of the Alliance

whereas the Senate, though giving
more time for the consideration of
the bill, did refuse to recognize the
amendments to the charter as offered
by President Marion Butler, which
amendments met every stated objec-

SECTION 1888. ELECTION LAW.

In our comments, last week, en-
the amendments Of 1889 to See. 26SS
Of the election law, we might have
told our readers that these are Dor
rowcd from the South Carolina eight
box law. We do not have quito so
many boxes in North Carolina as
they have in that State: ana our
statute gives to the judges of election
the option, whether or not to separate
the federal and State boxes. 1t is a
cunning trick, put last fall in OPP
Grafton in the eastern counties, where
the Congressional boxes were often
separated from the State and county
boxes. Our western friends do not
realize this, and would not tolerate
IN their own counties, any plan of
the soit. The South Carolina law
makers the separation of the boxes
Imperative, in this regard being diff
ferent from the North Carolina
amendments, which give the option
to the judges of election to private
separate polling places, or not, as
may be thought best.
Of course, the purpose of the di-
visol Of the following places is to do
away with the scrutiny of the feder-
al supervisors over the methods of
cheating, in the elections Of State
officers. But this evasion will not
do. The scheme is too thin and can
be well enough seen through. 1t
/ does not take federal supervisor to
catch on to the frauds committed.
! We can all sec them here in the east.
1t is our duty as a journalist to turn
on the light, so that the whole State
of North Carolina may see whittier
we are drifting. 1t is not safe tc
follow too far the lead of South Car
DINA.

G. May Ii, 1913, DEAR SIR:-I see in
this weeks issue of your valuable pa
per a notice that you will not dun
any one and that when a subscribers
time expires unless otherwise mott
fed the paper will stop.
Now, this is right, for never had
any sympathy, love or even respect
for the present newspaper law. 1t
has caused me some trouble and cost
me some money, and | am prompted
just here to give little experience
with a leading Democratic paper
then printed at the Capitol of the
State, but since under a new name.
Some several years ago l subscribed
to said paper for II months, when /
expected it would be stopped, but ii
was not so. l paid another year
and requested that when the time ex-
pired to stop, however it did not and
knowing according to the law ]
would have to pay. So | wrote re-
ceipt for another years subscription
and sent with it another subscrip-
ton So stating in said receipt that it
was part of the contract when the
time expired that the paper should
stop, but to my disgust it did not
stop having received a dun or two
every year, and as the paper was
continued after this last year was
out and | had the receipt as stated
above, concluded To rebel, so l
wrote HIM l would not pay for the
paper any longer and told him what
kind of receipt / had, SO finally J
go; it stopped. Respt.

SOME ADVICE GIVEN US.

One of these know-all know-noth-
ing fellows who reads only the parti-
san papers stop us the other and con-
descended to give us little advice
He said: "If you would advise the
people to plant half as much cotton
instead of clamoring for more mo-
ney, you would be doing the country
a genuine service. If half of the
cotton were destroyed, it would dou-
BILE the price and the other half
would bring AS much money. Don't
you remember that a few years ago
the chintz bug got into the wheat
out West and destroyed about half
of the crop and that the price soon
doubled You ought to remember
that the law of supply and demand
governs all these things" So we adj
mitted that the supply and demand
controlled the price of all things.
This seemed 20 astonish him. He
looked at and was all attention.
We then proceeded to explain to
him how the goldbugs, in 1873, got
into our money field and destroyed
half of our money crop, which had
the same effect Oh the money that
the chintz bug had on the wheat,
that is, it raised its price at least so
per cent, so that it now cost at least
! 80 per cent more labor or fruits of
labor in any form to buy dollar
than it would have cost. if the sup
ply of money had been equal to the
demand, and in this way we tried to
convince him that in order to keen
money from having an advantage
over labor that its supply at all times
should be equal to the supply of la
Dor, and that the law of supply and
demand would always honestly con-
troll the price of products and labor,
when the volumn of money was con-
trolled by the same law. He hung
his head and scanned to be thinking.
| hope he was, though it may have
been for the first time in his life
He left, he probably went to see the
man who furnishes him with ready.
made ideas to save him the trouble OF
reading and thinking for himself
But if he was really thinking we hope
the Lord will be with him in his
search after truth.

Hon. J. G. Sibley, Populist Con-
gresham from Pennsylvania, has
donated his salary for two years,
$4,000 to the reform cause. He got
to Congress and found that he could
not do any thing for the relief of the
people till achievements came to
help him. So he has donated his
salary to be used in spreading reform
papers knowing that that is the most
effective way to do the work. Let
every reformer take a lesson from
this. You are not able to give &c.,
600 for reform literature but you
can give 81. So pick out one of
your neighbors you think ought to
read TAE CAUCASIAN, but who is
either too or too Indifferent to sub
scribe, and send it to him.

FAIsON, N. c., May 5.
In an article published by the At
lanta Constitution from a Raleigh
correspondent, it is said that Mr..
Butler made the statement that all
parties would become corrupt after
holding power for long time, even
the Peoples party. Why should he
pervert the truth? | heard Mr.. But
Ter make the same declaration, with
proviso, which the correspondent
was very particular to leave out
which was if the Farmers Alliance
organization went down there would
be nothing to hold any party in
check, as experience has already
shown. AS Col. Polk said, you
must wait a week for the truth.
E. J. FAJsoN.
We have long believed and stated
frequently that it was necessary for
every class of citizens to organize
and stay organized for protection
and for the mutual advancement of
their interests. Every other class
of citizens organize no matter what
their party affiliations are. The
farmers and wealth producers should
do likewise. This applies with equal
truth to those who belong to the
Peoples party as to those who be-
long to the Democratic or Republi
can parties.

THE CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE.

For weeks we have been discus
sing the election law. We have
shown its weak points, we have
shown where fraud might be com
mitted and has been committed.
We have discussed the honest
amendments that were refused by
the late legislature. We have ex-
posed hidious frauds and arraigned
the party and the men guilty of
these high crimes. Yet these accus-
ed persons have kept silent. Not a
single partisan sheet has attempted
to reply. Why? Because they dare
not. They fear discussion. They
have entered into the conspiracy of
silence" on this point. They have
been trying to draw us off into the
discussion of other matters. They
can't defend their record here.
