The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1894-09-13

IJ4.ItE 81 tf4@ u4o-rt ESSF~1os- a
run tue government. When this is
done the ILfaance OF the rich will
DE- brought Oh Congress 70 be eco
montreal. If such d Law were IN
force COngreoauieG would not vote to
44auder millions in pensions, mill
sty build costly aud often uE
,c.s,tf. pubIlc buildings, millions
% clean 9.it rivers aud mud creeks.
Millions % keep up a hoard OF I'M
ec"ssa;y Office holders, millions IL
,tbsi lie, - yav railroads and
steamship lines above the contrac'
JrIce for carrying the mails. Con
gress would not even then vote it
self extra pay and extra mileage &c,
and if they did the rich would be
the first TO deuOuuce them and to
call halt. As it is now when these
reckless and wasteful expenditures
Of money are made there Is no one
to raise his voice against 1t but the
poor. Those who pay the bulk OF
the taxes are always the men who
are most anxious for economy. Let
the rich pay their far and just
share Of the taxes and then they
will cry the loudeSt for economy.
In short the Peoples party would
enact such laws as would give every
man a free and equa opportunity to
enjoy the fruits Of his own labor.
During the las, ten years the wealth
Of the United States has increased
several hundred millions of dollars.
If we lived under honest laws every
man who helped to create that i'm
mense wealth would to day be en-
Toying his share according to his tai
ents; if sucn laws were on the statute
books this immense wealth would
not to-day be accumulated into the
hands Of few spectators, gamb-
lerS and corruptors of Congress; If
such laws were on the statute books
we would have well-to-do farmers,
prosperous merchants, we'll educated
children, and happy homes, and the
only class who would suffer, get III
debt and grow poor would be those
who would neither toll nor spin.
THIS is bright picture and We
could get it by voting for it. No
sane man ever expects tie see it come
while the present parties manage and
control our public affairs. The Peo-
pies party is the only party that
can or will enact such laws. Let
all those who want to see such day
come vote for the Peoples party,
give that party a chance and then
Judge it according to the use it
makes of that chance.
OF course nothing better is ex-
pected of Mr.. Daniels that to apollo
gize for the shameless record of the
administration and to try to throw
the blame on other shoulders. He
is daily feeding at the pie counter
of this administration. He is grow
ing fat on part of the spoils wrung
from you by monopoly. The ass
knoweth his masters crib.
So much for national questions.
Now let the Peoples party be put
in control in this State and it will
at once proceed to break up every
trust now existing and operating in
the State, 1t will proceed to make
every corporation list for taxation
all of their property which now
pays no tax; put the Peoples party
in power and it will proceed to undo
DIS far as possible the mistakes, blum
ders and injustices Of the last legis-
lature; it will break up the odious,
oppressive and vote stealing ring I'M
der the present county government
system; it will take up the great
work of educational and material
development commenced Icy the Al.
lance Legislature of 1891; it would
take up the work just where thai
progressive and patriotic Legislature
stopped id carry it on till NORTH
Carolina lO. only stood at the head
of the edu> tional column, but til
her vast res urces should have bles
sed us all and attracted the atten
ton of the world. The editor o.
this paper is ready to face all politi
cal parties and every citizen in tn,
State on his record in that reform
Legislature and will pledge that tn
Peoples party legislature of 1S9;
will take up and carry on the grea
work so nobly begun.
