disposed to act fair why not concede
that we favor some practical plan for
carrying out our ~declaration9 Why
charge that we are in favor of purchas-
ing all the railroads at once at their
capitalized value, including the wat
cred stock, and issuing bonds for the
amount and taxing the people to pay
the bonds9 No Populist has ever pro-
posed any such thing. There is no ne
cessity for doing any such thing. The
railroads could be bought and paid for
within twenty years out of their net
earning and savings without taxing
the people one cent, or increasing the
present rates of freight and passenger
tariff. But the people are already
taxed on every dollar of capital repre-
scented by railroad bonds and stocks to
the extent of $40, 600, 900. They are
taxed in the freight and passenger
rates which they have to pay the rail
road companies. What the Peoples
party desire is that the money which
now goes to pay dividends on stock
and interest on bonds, shall go toward
purchasing the railroads and eventual
ly owning and operating them at great
" reduced rates. w. s MORGAN.

AN APPEAL TOTHE GENEROSITY
OF THE PUBLIC.

MARION, N. c., Nov. %, "a.
Our town having been literally de-
stroyed by fire, there is no business
house left from which to buy supplies
Dwellings, clothing and furniture are
gone and the people are in a utterly
destitute condition. The cold winter is
at hand, and about thirty families are
homeless. We, the undersigned, hav-
ing been appointed a relief committee
to appeal for help, ask any n who
can aid us, to send provisions, cloth
ing or in fact anything to relieve the
suffering people; we will see that it is
properly used. Any one in Marion
who receives kilograms or letters offer
ing assistance will hand such communi
cation to us.

HI PoPULIsT GAINS.

Election returns have been very
slow coming in, but as the full returns
are considered the more glorious is the
result for the Peoples party.
The Populist vote in Texas is about
double as compared with their vote of
two years ago, giving an increase of
about IS, 900.
The Populist gain in Illinois is about
$50 per cent over two years ago. In
Wisconsin it is over 400 per cent. In
Ohio the Populists lifted their vote
from Is. 900 to SO, 1000 North Carolina
ia carried by the Populists, and Tom
Watson says Georgia is POpulist State
on q fair count. In Minnesota the
Populists doubled their vote of 1898.
The same gains prevail in kentucky
by an increase from 81, 200 to SO, 1000
In Arkansas the increase is 100 per
cent. Oregon shows a gain of 40 per
cent. Washington shows q gain of at
least 200 per cent. In Montana there
are more PopuIists members Of the leg
islature than Democrats. In ALE
ghany county, Pennsylvania, 1892 the
Populist vote, was 800; this year it is
1900, and so goes the increase even
down to the eastern and New England
States. Elsewhere the Populist vote
has greatly increased. 1t shows that
the people are rapidly seeing their in
t~erests, and going to the party of the
people as the only relief from the op-
preston and slavery of the bank com
bines. Two years hence the Populists
will bid for the championship, and
they will stand a good show of success.

The 10Y Land Butter Corn Or Asath Golden
Shesf Stock Corn,

Most valuable and wonderful, and truly the
lazy mans corn, as you don't have to shuck or
shell it. Large, soft ears. each grain covered
with a long, soft shUck, q inch long, making
both grain and fodder combined by cutting the
ears up and feeding it to stock, which eat it
greedily. Is q big yielder, as it stools out, MAX
ing six or eight stalks and as many ears from
one grain, besides forming grain-heads from the
tassel. Pronounced by all who have seen it, a
wonderful and valuable curiosity, making
twice as much fine blade fodder as other corn.
Plant like other corn, one or two grains in a hill,
according to strength of land. Postpaid, large
ear 20 cents, or two small ears rs cents. Try it
once and you will plant it again. Cows fed on
this rich and valuable food give an enormous
quantity of rich milk and butter. Some ears
are of great size and covered by an extra large
soft shUck besides the small silky shuck that
extends over each grain, making it the very
best food for cattle and horses. This wonderful
corn is very early, coming in at b time most
needed and producing three times more food
than common corn.
With each order / send my large free cata-
logue of over 56 new varieties of seeds, and
make this liberal offer only to introduce my
novelties and show what my pat ons write
about them who have tried them all over the
Union. @. E. COLE,

IMMIGRATION TO NORTH CARO-
LIMA.

Cur readers will remember that
among the many and varied evils the
Democratic papers and speakers dur
ing the recent campaign told the people
OF the State that would come upon
them if they allowed the Fusionists to
get into power would be to turn away
and drive out immigration and capital,
saws the Goldsboro Caucasian.
Instead of such a disastrous catas-
trophe, if indeed it be such, it seems
that just now all eyes are turned upon
North Carolina by home seekers. In
quiries about land in this State are
coming in from allparts Of the North
and not a few from the West. Just a
few days ago a dispatch from Pitts
burg, Pa, stated that colony of thirty
well to do farmers, gardeners and me-
chanics of that vicinity had already
made arrangements to immigrate as
settlers to Craven county, this State.
There can be no better proof thatthe
industry of the country looks favorably
upon the change of politics in our State
than that desirable immigrants are at
this time seeking future homes among
us. We welcome these good people,
and trust many more will come in on
the tidal wave for honest government.

people are foolish enough to believe
that government ownership is a new
tantastical idea that originated within
the chemerical brain of some crazy
POpulist. The idea of government
ownership is as old as the invention OF
railroads.
The Peoples party declares in favor
of government ownership Of railroads
and telegraph lines. But nowhere il
it's platform does it indicate a plan *
secure this end. If our opponents ar

them, and nothing remains except that
the banker shall put his Est to them
also. II
He does so, and they at oHce become
money. So you see, it's merely a dues-
ton of pen, ink and paper-this new
money of the Baltimore Plan
No bonds are to be held By the gov
eminent as collateral security for the
notes issued by the bankers.
No gold is to be SO held, nor yetany
silver.
What then is to be held by the
bankers as security for their notes,
their due bills, which they are to issue
to us and which we are to pranee up
and take al moneys
The despised greenbacksa and treas
ury notes of 1901
This is the money the national bank
ers and their editorial lackeys have
been telling us was not good money.
These greenbacks and treasury notes
of 1890 were called by Cleveland him
self the "weak point" in our financial
system.
Yet this very citizen, Cleveland, now
says that the national bankers shall
not be compelled to deposit bonds, or
gold, or silver as security for their Cir
culating notes, but shall deposit the
greenbacks and treasury notes of 1901
We hardly recover ourselves from
this shock before he splashes
us with ice-water by saying that this
greenback reserve shall only consist of
80 per cent. of the amount of national
bank circulation.
In other words, the national bankers
are to get $50 of the weakest point"
currency our system affords, lock this
$50 of dishonest money in an iron safe,
and issue, upon this security, notes to
the extent of 500; and the business
world must take these notes as money
and be thankful for the chance.
Why do we say thankful for the
chances Simply because business
man will haze to take them, orgo with
out anything in the shape of money.
Gold is all hung up in reserves. 1t
is not the currency of trade and never
was.
Silver is no longer coined, and the
gold is utterly inadequate to the de-
mands of business.
The greenbacks and the treasury
notes of 1890 will retire into the banks
to form th~ereserves wei have mentioned.
Then where is the merchant, and
farmer, and laborer to get his cur
rency7
He must go to the banks for it.
The banks will pay to the government
a tax of one dollar on the hundred for
the privilege making this Baltimore
Plan money.
The bankers will get from the people
at least eight dollars on the hundred
for it.
This is a grand scheme, thoroughly
in line with the craftsmanship" of the
times. It's principal task is the TURF
ing of the sheep v to the shearers.
Than the Baltimore Plan and it's State
bank attachment, the world never saw
a more perfect woolclipper.
We trust the sheep will be prepared
to stand it.-AtlGnta Daily Press.
