IS IT EOeEL7

; When the Senate Committee Oh
Finance was captured by the Free
Silver men and Senator VOORHEES,
made chairman, it is reported that
President Cleveland was very much
disappointed and chagrined. But il
seems now that there is dea, on
hand. Listen, OH Monday Cleveland
appointed }. Z. Resley Il brother-in-
law of Senator Voorhees, TO be Min
lister to Denmark. On the next day
he appointed Mr.. Hawkins L. S.
Marshall and Mr.. Burke District At
torney of Indiana. These men
are special friends of Senator Nor-
hees and were strong anti Cleveland
men. The partisan Cleveland men
in Indiana are fighting hot-they
are cursing mad. But that is a
small matter. What we are inter-
ested in, has Cleveland made a bar
gain with Voorhees, to back down
and desert silver? or is he trying to
buy him over to the gold-bugs with
patronage? Let the people watch.
Eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty.

But there were other considers

our people informed, but it posted
thousands of farmers and Others
upon the market price of goods. by
which thousands, nay millions OF
dollars have heen saved to the people
of North Carolina since the Business
Agency has started on its present

alone, there is no doubt but that
there has been saved by the reduction
of that article in price more than Il
million of dollars since the Agency
was established, yea, five times that

Der of our order think upon these
matters, and determine to stand to-
gether through veal or woe, more
closely than ever. Be careful not to
break any of the laws enacted, but
stand firm for truth and right, ana
when opportunity is given let us
drive from power those who would
take away our vested rights as the

industrious POOR.

DIR. Parker, of the London Cit,
Temple, said in a sermon on New
Years day: "There is no torment
sufficient for robbers of the indus.
trlous poor" There is Il whole sermon
expressed in these few words. The
industrious poor" are the back bone
and sinew of the whole world, and
the way they are treated is a shame.
Let the industrious poor' organize
for mutual protection and there rises
at once howl from the Shylocks in
every quarter of the earth, and this
howl re-echoes back and fourth I'M
til 1t is taken up by the insignificant
set of crosS-road and street corner
tattlprs, who think themselves to be
the ''seyen wonders" Of the world.
Even men of North Carolina, who
are possessed of considerable means.
aud who are bitter enemies to the
Farmers Alliance have been heard
to say: eff l could buy all the cot
ton that comes to this market at three
cents per pound | would do it."
Now, if this class could manage
to buy the poor farmers cotton at
three cents per pound, they would
glance at his tattered coat, slap him
on the shoulder and tell him to work
hard and use more economy, and at
the next breath begin talking about
"overproduction." How much LONG,
er will the industrious poor" be
"hewers of wood and drawers of wa
ter" May the day speedily come
when the industrious poor" will re-
allze that in unity there is power and
that there is no hope of relief save
through the ballot-box.-Burgaw

POLITICS IN THE CHURCHES AND THE
ALLIANCE

Every few days some paper is say
ing something about what crime it
is for the Alliance to 60 into politics.
These parties are putting the Ali
ance on very high moral plane,
even higher than their churches, for
these self same persons and hypocrites
have dragged their churches into
politics. According to their narrow
intellects and irrellgious souls, the
religion of a church depends upon
the political label on 1t. In fact we
know some churches that should
have over their doors: "This is a
Democratic Methodist church," ga
Democratic Baptist church" or ga
Democratic Presbyterian church"
Now we dare and challenge these
contemplate lying hypocrits to name
single man who has ever been
turned out of the Alliance ON ac-
count of his politics or any member
even who was not elected to an office
on account of the party he affiliated
with. When thi sis done then we will
give some eases of not only how men,
bers of churches but how the pastors
of churches have been treated on ac-
count of their politics.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1893-03-23

A man wrote few days ago,
''Stop your paper till it is Demo.
cratic" That man does not know
what pure Democracy is. If You
take Horace Greedy and label him
Democrat, he is satisfied; if you
take a Mugwump and label him
Democrat, he is satisfied; but if YOU
take Democratic principles and la
bel them them the peoples prinei-
pies" what pure Democracy is, he
can't see it and will not have it. He's
a Labelcrat. The man who thinks
for himself does not suffer from this
kind of complaint were it not for
such simple innocent but foolish
men, the game of the politicians and
the rule of monopoly would be over
and gone. This Labelcrat can't
now see his interest and is actually
fighting those who are laboring to
free him from the oppression of mo-
nopoly. We are working for HIM,
because we cannot liberate ourselves.
without also liberating him. Before
long, his eyes will be opened and
then he will repent, if he is honest.
There has never yet been a great
fight for reform or liberty, that a
part of those oppressed did not join
with their enemies and fight their
friends and against their own inter-
ests. The enemy is shrewd aud it is
his game to keep the people di-
yided. But all have an abiding
faith in the final triumph of the
right.
