A NATIONAL CURRENCY THE BEST.

A MA lONRL IUHNeNNf ! ne DEO J..
In speech in the Senate in 1887,
John G. Calhoun said:
at appears to me, after bestowing
the best reflection | can give no sub
iect, that no convertible paper-that
is, paper whose credit rests on a
promise to pay-is suitable for cur
rency. Bank paper is cheap to those
who make it, but dear, very dear, to
those who use it. On the other
hand, national currency, while it
would greatly facilitate its financial
operation, would cost nothing or next
to nothing, and would, of course,
add much to the cost of production,
which would give to every branch of
our industries great advantages both
at home and abroad. And | now
undertake to affirm without the least
fear | can be answered, that paper
issued by the government, with
simple promise to receive it for all
dues would form a perfect paper cir
culation which could not be abused
by the government; that it would
be as uniform in value as the metals
themselves; !; and | shall be able to
prove that it is within the constitu-
ton and lowers of congress to use
such paper according to the most
rigid rule of constituting the constitu-
ton" (tf.)

THE TURN COAT SECRETARY

When Secretary Hoke Smith Ga
member of Mr.. Cleyeland's cabinet)
was booming Cleveland for President
in his paper, the Atlanta JournaD
it charged that Senator Hill was in
favor of the repeal of the present
law and that Cleveland was not We
clip the following from an editorial
January I'd, 1892:
"Mr. Cleveland is in favor of let
ting the present silver law, which
provides for the coinage of So mil
lion dollars, a year alone. Gov. Hill
is in favor of repeating the law that
would contract the currency and that
would be deplorable. Mr.. Cleveland
is better friend to silver than Gov.
HILL"
To-day Secretary Hoke Smith in
his paper says that the present silver
law is a bad thing and that it ought
to be unconditionally repealed. And
yet there are people who will con-
tinue to take such papers and be-
lieve what they say. How much
longer will the people suffer such
treachery and duplicity?

the Republicans in 1873, the white
metal was worth $l.32 All ounce.
Cotton brought 20 cents per pound

The STREDDLER.

The straddling fellow who presides
over the three-headed newspaper at
Raleigh, in a recent issue has the
following:
Yesterday for the first time since
1900 a period OF 33 years. a Demo
cratic Congress met in full political
accord with the president
In the very next column the same
Straddler prints these paragraphs:
There are some four hundred
men IN Congress, and each man does
his own thinking and in measure
represents the local interest Of his
people There are probably fifty
gradatlons in their lines Of thought, ,
and so for the present all is chaos
and confusion.
Nor will the message Of the Presi-
dent clear the horizon. What the
President proposes to say has al
ready been discounted, and though
there are many who will stand with
him, it is hardly probable that ma
Jority in either house will be ready
to do so ut an early date"
1t is not easy to see, il the con
gress is in ''full political accord with
the President" how it can be hardly
probable that a majority in either
house will not agree with him.
OF course the straddler is ary way
and all ways in the expression Of his
opinions, and seeks to keep in with
both Vance and Ransom, whose
views and methods are as different
as can be. But the extracts given
show the distraction Of the Demo
cratic party in congress and the
country. They have secured politi-
cal supremacy by downright lying,
pretending to the people that they
mean one thing, when they are de-
termined to do another.

AS strong and emphatic as Sena-
ter Vance's two letters on silver are,
let the people take notice that there
is one important point on which he
did not express himself. He says he
is in favor of the free coinage of sill

If Vance is right and the express
sion of his views helps the Peoples

be right; if his positive views ex-
pressed hurt the Democratic party
then the party must be wrong.

When the machine does not deny
the correctness of the views of Sena-
tor Vance nor dare to question his
democracy, yet express great fears
that the expression of such sound
pure democracy will help the Peo-
pies party, it is strong admission
that the Peoples party is right or at
least contains more democracy than
Ethe Democratic party.
