EDITORIAL NOTES

The Laurinburg Exchange says:
National banks or the people must go
down. Which shall it be?'
The fifth Demorest medal elocution
contest in Wayne county will be held
at Pikeville on Friday night, October
goth.
Congressman O'Ferrall, the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor of Vir-
ginia, was a candidate for Congress in
the 9TH district on the Republican
ticket in 1872.
Vance County Alliance will meet at
Henderson on the 21st, at $50 a. m.
Bro. Shuford and other speakers will
be present, and much of the day will
be devoted to speaking.
We knew the goldbug papers would
bring some charge against Senator
Bate, of Tennessee, since he declared
himself a free coinage man. They say
he hasn't smoked a cigar in over
twenty-five years.
OF course Mr.. Cleveland is a friend
of silver" He never refuses silver
when people buy his beer, made at his
own brewery at Buffalo, New York,
U. S. a. But his friendship for gold
is beyond comparison.
It is said that the American Tobacco
Company pays its President, Col. Buck
Duke, of Durham, $50, 600 year. Who
pays the American Tobacco Company,
the tobacco consumer or seller7 One
or both must foot the bill.
Certain men in North Carolina left
the Alliance because they thought it
was going down about a year ago. 1t
is now growing steadily, though slow
ly, and these same men will wish they
had remained true in the dark hours.
Last year Senator Voorhees, stumped
Indiana and assured the people that
Cleveland was a friend to silver and
for an increase of the circulating me
dunn. To-day he is leading the anti
silver, anti more money forces in the
Senate.
Senator Vance, Senator Morgan,
Senator Stewart and Thomas A. Edi-
son each have brains almost as heavy
as the entire carcass of some of the
small fry editors who are engaged in
~tsIandering them. Further comment is
not needed.
The Elizabeth City Economist thinks
Thos. A. Edison has gone crazy on the
financial question. Everybody knows
that Edison is the greatest genius of the
age, yet the time has come when every
honest man who has courage to say so,
is termed a lunatic.
An item is going the rounds of the
State press headed, Another Alliance
Bust" There are from three to four
hundred Democratic and Republican
''busts" every week. Yet these enter
prisingO organs of plutocracy never
say a word about them.
Italy is in a pitiable financial condi-
tion, Things are so bad that a catas-
trophe of a violent nature is inevitable
unless relief comes speedily. Silver
disappeared from ordinary circulation
months ago. Even copper is 0 van
ishing. The premium on silver coin is
now 10 a c2a.. and on copper 2 per
cent.

THE WILL.

The stereotyped arguments used by
President Cleveland, John Sherman
and others of that class in favor of the
repeal of the Sherman law u]ncondition-
ally are extremely absurd to people
who know anything. Every mean act
on Jul statutes has been put there in
the name of the people, in response to
the popular will. True some of the
people have petitioned for the uncon-
ditional repeal of the Sherman law.
They were either mean or ignorant,
perhaps both. The tariff rates have
been kept up 'to protect the Iaboring
people," yet every intelligent man
knows that the laboring people have
not been benefited. Only the rich have
made money out of the tariff. Many
of the people who are drawing pensions
o not deserve them, for not a few ar
rich people. The unconditional repeal
of the Sherman law is bound to help
only the rich. They are raising most
of the clamor, and tee poor who are
clamoring with them are misguided.
The will of the people should be obeyed,
but the people have spoken time and
again in favor of silver and the state
ments made by Cleveland, Sherman 6
Co., Qimited) were coined in the devils
workshop.

H SENATE L

If we understand the rules that the
U. S. Senate has been governed by for
many years, no vote can be taken on
any measure except by unanimous con-
sent. Just when and why such rules
were adopted no seems to know.
If one or a dozen Senators object to a
vote, they can delay action for an in,
definite period. The time can be filled
up with speeches. Under these rules a

FREE COINAGE AND PRICES.

MI. Q. F. o Hermann, who has
charge of the Raleigh Weather Bureau,
has sent a very ingenious letter to the
Wilmington Messenger in which he at
tempts to enlighten the farmers of the
State. Hon. A. M. WaddeIl takes all
of the starch out of the weather mans
letter, but we will notice a point or
two. He tries to brighten the farmers
and wage-workers by admitting that
free coinage would put more money in
circulation, increase prices of all prod

The Carthage Blade heads an edi-
torial ''Vance's Treachery," and says
Vance is not entitled to the respect of
his constituents and is a traitor to the
party. We guess Senator Vance will
not lose any sleep on account of the at
tacks of the Blade and about a hun
dred other shoddy sheets in this State,
nor from the Wall street hirelings in
various other States.

Senator Sherman says it is wicked
to temporize with financial fallacIes.
That being SO the American people
should no longer temporize with him.
His doctrines are not fallacies on &C
count Of ignorance, but because he sold
out to English and American scoun-
dreIs, and became many times a mil
lionaire on a salary that doesn't near
support his family.

A foreigner told the Pittsburg police
the other day that he and many others
had been induced to come over by the
lying agents of certain steamboat com
panies. AS the steamboats, generally
give Immigrants very narrow berths,
it will be well for foreigners to give the
steamboats, a wide berth in the future.

Gen. Rosser, white, has renounced
his allegiance and joined the Populists.
A negro politician by the name of
Langston has deserted the dormant
Republican party and joined the Demo
cratic party. The Democratic papers
say Gen. Rosser is a political renegade
and L ngston is a gentleman.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1893-10-17

We wonder if the Democrats in Vir-
ginia promised to make the negro Re
publican, Langston, a justice Of the
peace to sit in judgment upon the
white people of Virginia. Langston
has promised to vote the Democratic
ticket, and the people are anxious to
know how he is to be paid.

And now Col. Hoke Smith says he
didn't issue orders to suspend pension
ers in July until each case should be
investigated wherever there was reason
to think the person drawing the pen
sion was doing so Illegally. That is a
complete backdown from pension re
form and was just as we expected-re-
form on paper.

President Evans, Of the South Caro-
lima State Alliance, advises the farmers
to hold their cotton for better prices.
We agree with him that the crop re-
ports indicate a rise in price, but there
is no certainty about it. The better
way will be to sell part and hold part,
if you can do that.

THE GOLD BUGS TEMPORARILY
DEFEATED.

On last Wednesday the Senate began
a continuous session, the repeal Sena-
tors having determined to make a test
of physical endurance. The antirepeal
men, both Democrats and Populists,
smiled, OF to use a homely phrase,
laughed in their sleeves" Some of
the RepublicAn Senators were not
patriotic enough to sit in the hall day
and night without sleep, and, to keep
a quorum, it was necessary for nearly
all Of the Democratic and Republican
gold bug Senators to remain in the hall
all the time. TIE anti repeal men had
the advantage in that they only needed
one or two Senators on hand to pre-
vent a vote and make music, 4. e., to
speak all the time.
All day Wednesday the dead lock
went on. The anti repeal men con
tinued their speeches and read news
paper extracts and whole chapters
from financial works; that is a few did,
for many Of them were resting in order
to take the places of their comrades.
Wednesday night the session con,
tinued. Thursday came and went by,
though very slowly to the confined Sen
ators. During Thursday, Senator Allen
made his wonderful speech nearly ff-
teen hours long. All of Thursday
night was spent the same way.
Early Friday morning there had been
so many assertions that a quorum was
not available. Many Senators had
yielded to nature and gone to their
various places of abode to get a little
rest. During the entire thirty eight
hours Senator Voorhees,, the leader of
the repeal forces, had stood at his post.
He looked the picture of utter despair.
had contracted to sell and deliver
the American people to the American
and British goldbugs. He had made a
determined fight, but he now saw that
he could not deliver the goods. In the
last desperate struggle the Seargeat-at-
Arms was sent to arrest and bring in
enough Senators for a quorum. But
even that plan failed. The tired and
desperate Senators were not all bought
and paid for, and they positively re-
fused to lose any more sleep. Senator
Voorhees, sat as one dumbfounded. At
last he aroused himself from MS leth-
argy and said: Il have done my duty
I move that the Senate adjourn" SEN
ator Faulkner was in the chair and put
the motion without even a second and
it was carried.
The goldbugs were whipped. Just
what move they will make next is a
matter of conjecture. They will not
give up, though, and people may ex-
pect a hard battle, or more than one,
in the near future.

H NATIONAL BANKS.

faith to the public and in the spirit OF
the law under which they exist, they
would now have in circulation $780,
900, 900 of currency-they have about
$40, 900, OOO-and the low prices which
have crushed business as under an iron
roller, and the panic, could not have
occurred, says the Midland, Nd, Jour-
mol.
But those greedy institutions could
make more by banking OF the deposits
of their customers and they, in place
OF extending their circulation al grow
ing business demanded, withdrew it,
and from October, 1883, to the same
date in 1890, they had decreased their
circulation in the aggregate to upwards
of $191, 900, 900.
1t will be seen by this heartless greed,
which has so distressed and impover-
ished the people that it will not do to
trust the money, which is the life-blood
of business, and the hope of prosperity
among the people, to the control of pri-
vate corporations. The temptation is
too great for the greed of man to resist.
These banks were created for the 0L-
legged purpose of expanding the cur
rency to meet the demands of the bust
ness of the country; they have deliber-
ately contracted the currency in order
to cater to the innate greed of the bank
ing class. The currency Of these banks
is secured by U. S. bonds deposited
with the Comptroller of the Treasury
and is safe money, the public running
no risk of loss from the notes though
the banks fail and the depositors lose
all.
The history of the present national
banks too plainly shows that the PEG
pies money cannot be safely trusted to
the custody of any private concern, no
matter how stringent the law, Or how
liberal its provisions allow for a legiti-
mate profit to the corporation and
stockholders. They have not only on
tracted when the interest of the public
and the spirit of the law under which
they exist demanded expansion by
them, but they have openly violated
the law, and these deiances of lazy
have been winked at by the Comptrol-
Ter and Treasurer of the United States,
who, in place of being the peoples
guardians have apparently been sharp,
ers in the spoil and IN the crimes of the
banks. This sham of national banks
has been effectually tested by two
States Banks for forty years and
present national banks for thirty years,
and they have proved in every instance
public plunderers. The only banks
that can be relied upon r the banks
which shall be in the hands of the peo-
pie, just as the postoffices are. Banks
established by the government, man
aged by government officers whose
emoluments will be fixed salaries COM
mensurate to the work performed.
Then panics will cease, then plumber
of the public will stop and the people
enjoy the use of their own deposits
with the profits all ~accruing to them
selves. The. b~ulldozing OF a soulless
money power, with head in Wall street
and London, will be felt no more and
Congress will no longer be subjected to
intimidation and brides by an AFRO
CANT money power, which threatens to
trample everything beneath its feet
which dares raise a warning voice
against the giant monster.

itself in favor of broad tires for wagon

FRIDAYS STORM

Another furious storm swept Owe,

Carolina, Thursday and Friday. Itn
impossible to gather many details be.

down in every direction. It is not BE-
lieved, however, that the damage to
property and loss of life is anything
like as great as in the storms of August
al d October 9Th and 7th. Probably
cotton has sustained much damage By
being blown out and getting dirty.
On account of the State Fair this
week the meeting of Wake County,
