Before the last election it was the
dear people who were suffering from
high tariff. Now it is the pluto
cratic capitalist of Wall street that
must be given an extra session for
the purpose of restricting the circu-
lation of money and enhancing the
value of their gold and bonds. The

1t was gallant fight our forces
made in the late struggle. In the
south the bourbon Democracy fought
us like enraged tigers and gave no
quarters. In the north the bloody
shirt Republicans decreed death
to us on every field. The Populists
accepted the gage of battle and cried
"lay on McDuffe and damned be he

result Is, one of the old giants is laid
out and the other don't know what
to do with his victory, while the
Populists are already up and after
them stronger than ever and spelling

HOLLY SPRING, n. G..
Reform is what we want. The
way to get it is to commence at home.
In old times the rent and taxes of
land amounted only to one tenth.
But they saw that the laboring class
was getting along too well and they
began to levy az extra tax, and there
they began to oppress labor. While
there is now SO much land unculti-
yated, let US put down rent so peo-
pie can make their supplies at home.
Make your own supplies and live
at home. Quit paying time prices
and high freight. Instead of buying.
make more to sell. Thus you will
do away with mortgages and bring
reform home. w. P. JOHNSON.

platform of the party in this State

The Democr attic politicians think
Cleveland unjust because he does not
seem disposed "to give the fodder to
the horse that pulled the plow."
Well, it doesn't matter. When these
politicians were buncoeing the voters
into pulling the Cleveland plow last
fall they knew that these voters were
taking the '!fodder" out of their own
mouths by supporting Cleveland's
financial views. Now if the Presi-
dent does not reward these politicians
nobody should grieve but themselves.
Honest people do not cly when a
professional bitter gets bit.
There is a great howl among Dem
ocratic newspapers about an "honest,
dollar" 1t may be observed that
the ''honest dollar" they are so
anxious to preserve cost the laborers
about one dollar and a half.
Mr.. Cleveland is responsible for
the declaration that public office is
public trust" This doubtlessly
accounts for the inordinate desire on
the part of the professional politi-
clan to get trusted.
The Wilmington Messenger says
that the prices of light tobacco has
advanced instead of declining under
the operation Of the tobacco trust.
If this be true it was kind of the
manufacturers to form a trust so
they could give the poor farmer a
better price for his tobacco. But the
Messenger is not so renowned for
accuracy as it is for the piety of it's
Sunday editorials.
After all their silly twaddle in the
campaign ABOUT "Cleveland being
his own platform number of DEM
ocrats are severely criticizing his
earliest public acts. Perhaps they
did not understand their platform.
\
The last Legislature wanted to kill
the Homestead law but they were
afraid to do it. They wanted bet
ter system of maintaining public
roads but they were afraid to adopt
one. They wanted (s) to break up
the Tobacco Trust but they dared
not attempt it. They wanted to as
sassinate the Alliance but their cour-
age failed before the plot was execu-
ted. These and other things they
appeared to want to do, but, with
absolute power they failed to do them.
After their cowardice or hypocrisy
had become notorious they adopted
as tho States motto, the phrase, ''To
be. rather than to seem.n The next
Legislature that gets in by fraud
will probably change this off for
honesty is the best policy"
