The Democratic State convention
Of Missouri held in Kansas CITY last
week adopted platform Of which
the following are the salient points.
w h-reas, The constitution u the
United States provides that Congress
shall have power 10 coin money, re
gulate The value thereof and Of for
eign coins, aud also provides that no
State shall coin money or make any
thing but gold and silver coin ten
der in payment Of debts, hence We
declare it to be a daty enioined upon
Congress bv he constitution TO coin
both gold and silver money for tie
use Of the people Of the State;
that Congress has no rlghtful
power to refuse coinage of either me
tai.
I'VE, therefore. demand the free
bimetallic coinage IF both gold and
| silver, and the restoration of the bl-
metallic standard as it existed under
our laws for over 80 years prior to
characterization of the standard sill
yer dollar in 1873, and should 1t be-
come necessary, III order 10 MAINTAIN

az Just the ratio, II should, be deter
mined whether gold has risen or sill
yer has fallen, and whether there
should be change of the gold dollar
or of the Silver dollar, or of both, to
the end that whatever ratio is adopt
ed, the rights of both creditor and
deb.o shall be preserved alike, hay-
ing in view the demands Of the peo-
pie for an adequate circulating me-
dunn.
ave declare that we are not in ia
vor of gold mono-metallism or silver
recommendation but that both should
be coined at such ratio aS will main
tain the two metals in circula-
ton.
1--WE insist upon the Democratic
doctrine Of jackson and Benton that
all money issued by the authority OF
Congress shall be issued and It's val,
ne maintained by the government
That We are opposed to farming out
to national banks the right to issue
circulating notes. That we are op,
posed to any further increase of the

ment.
Owe endorse the action of Presi,

THECoLD BUGS ON TOP ALABAMA

There has been spirited contest in the

for Governor. Col. Oates is gold bug and

but one way to beat the machine and that
is TO get out Of the party and vote at the
polls against the machine nominees. As

Q-PER CENT. vs.. o. PER CENT.

Bro. W. A. Graham, Trustee OF
the n. c. Business Agency fund
writes us that less than nine pei
cent. Of the money contributed tc
Business Agency Fund has been
called for. This is very gratifying.
1t shows that the last Legislature did
not represent the people. They tried
to repeal our charter and Kill the
Alliance, claiming that the people
were not benefited by the Alliance.
They even claimed that all the best
people had pulled out of the ALI
ance. If it were true, then the best
people in the Alliance contributed
only 8 per cent. of the fund neces-
sary to help to make the organiza-
ton a business success, while 81 pei
cent. was contributed by those whom
the Legislature tried to stab in the
back.

drawn by those in this county whe
had once been members. Let every

DEMOCRACY GAMING GROUND AND JOE
ARGUS is MAD.

The following appeared last week
in the editorial columns of the Colds
boro Argus:
"Some of the protesting Democrats
in this communicated we presume
it has always been so in most every
other community with the dIsgrun-
tied and the wiseacres-make US
really weary with their undemocratic
and disorganizing talk; giving
ground to populism, while at the
same time protesting to abhor any
thing but true democracy"
1t is real sad about Joe Argus be-
ing weary. We are sorry for it, but
it is a pleasure to know that Demo-
cratic sentiment is growing and that
democratic manhood is asserting it.
self more than ever around Colds
boro. The fact that the Argus is
troubled is an evidence of this. The
Peoples party simply means the
Democracy of the people against
machine Democracy and Republic
canism. The people are right and
have ever been right, but many of
them are just learning as Capt.
kitchin says that the leaders of the
party have built up machine that
is undemocratic and against the in
terests of the people. When a Dem
ocrat joins the Peoples party he
does not change his principles. He
joins because he is d Democrat and
will not give up his principles to
following traitorous leaders of tire
party that once was with and for the
people.

IS IT BRIBERY OR is IT TR,CKERY7

Senator Hunton, of Virginia, and
Senator Kyle, of South Dakota, both
claim that some one has tried to
Drbe them to vote against the tariff
bill. Each says that he was offered
go, 900, but neither one will give
the name of the man or men who
tried to bride him. This is too thin.
1t sounds like put up Job. If any
one had attempted to bride them
they should give all the facts to the
public. If they withhold the names
Of the parties, they become to GER
tain extent criminal, in that they are
cIoaking the man who was trying to
commit a very grave offense.
Then again, we would like to know
who and what industries can afford
to pay $4,000 a vote on the tariff
bill. All of the biggest and most
odious trusts have gotten practically
all they want in the Wilson bill.
When We were in Washington last
week we heard that every man who
went to Washington wanting to get
some special legislation was referred
to certain party who was interested
in collecting funds for the Democra-
tic campaign fund and that if proper
arrangements were made with that
party, then the trust or monopoly
could get what it wanted or so much
as the consideration justified. 1t is the
bribing of this kind that the people
had rather hear about.
Finally, a man who would be
trusted as lobbyist with large sums
Of money to use on congress is too
smart to make an offer where there
was any doubt about it not being &C
cepted. If any bride was offered to
these Senators 1t was a put up job
and done to get into the papers for
effect only. WHAT effect: For two
objects: One to make the public
think that the Wilson bill was max
ing such great reductions that there
we're concerns that could afford to
pay $4,000 for one vote against it
second it was done so that every
Democrat who had the manhood to
vote against such bill "a bill that
is fraud and a humbug-a bill that
is arranged in the interest of some
great trusts and monopolies) would
rest under the suspicion of
having got $4,000 for voting against
the bill.
This is new kind Of party lash
tactics. And the men who have sold
out the interests of the people to
raise large campaign fund are no
dJubt the authors of it.
2. S.-Since the above was in type
the Senate has appointed commit
tee to investigate the matter. We
predict now that there will be no in
vestigation and if there is it will be
a sham affair to call attention from
or to whitewash the real brides that
have no doubt been offered and
taken.

Senator Hoar made the point the
other day that every Democratic
Senator and Congressman who voted
for the tariff bill would be violating
his oath. Several Democratic Sena-
tors were at once on their feet asking
the Presiding order to call him to
order. Senator Hoar said that the
Chicago platform declared that pro-
lection was not only a robbery and a
fraud but it was unconstitutional,
therefore If they were honest in this
declaration when they swore to sup
port the constitution they swore they
would not vote for a protection bill.
After this statement from Senator
Hoar, the Presiding officer ruled
that he was in order
