A P~ATRIoTIC(?)A AMERICAN.

Ex-President Harrison, in his
recent picayune speech at Elkins,
West Va, in the interest of the
coal combine ard monopoly,
said:
rs this a time through the
cheap ocean tariffs to bring into
competition with your products
the cheap coal of Nova Scotia?
speak as a patriotic American
who feels an interest in the hon
est people"
We are gratified to learn from
the lips of this distinguished per
son, that he is not only "a pat,
riotic American citizen" but that,
Notwithstanding the superiority
of his blood and his exalted
station, he yet feels an interest
in the honest people!
But who are the ''honest peo-
pie" for whom this interest is
felt? And whose product" is il
that he would protect against
competition!
The West Virginian coal fields
belong to one Or more capita
lied corporations, and the gen
tlemen composing these are ''the
honest people" Mr.. Harrison had
in mind; and it is their product
he would protect against Novs
Scotian competition at the ex
pense of other and worthier in
terests,
By the way, the hideous anon
oily of Government aid to capital
istic monopoly and ~extortion, il
about played out. Mr.. Harrison
should read up.
The ''honest men," of the Goa
combinations, who have enlisted
his s~ympathies, are but as one tx
thousands of honest poor who ar
entitled to coal without having
the price of it increased by tariff
protection.

GRAND DEMOCRATIC RALLY.

The Democrats of G%oIdsboro
Township meet and organized a
Campaign CIub.-Hundredsin at
tendarce-Hon. r. A. Woodland S
Great Speech.
Pursuant to the call issued by
President Broadhurst, of the
Goldsboro Democratic club, the
Democrats of this city and town
ship assembled at the court house
Monday night by the scores,
thereby .manifesting the lively
interest they IRE taking in the
political destiny Of our county
and State in the campaign that
is now fully upon US. And all who
attended were indeed more than
repaid for their patriotism and
made stronger in the faith of
Democracy by the superb speech
If Hon. F. A. Woodland, candi-
date for Congress, and present
member from this district, who
for nearly two hours reviewed
the history of the Dem
ocratic party, its past, its
present and it's future, and show
ing and proving it to be the
party for the people: the party
of honest purposes and. current
principles the party of equit-
able administration and econ
omical expenditure of pub
lie funds; the party of pledges
fulfilled and promises sustained.
And all through his splendid
speech he was RECALLED again and
again by hearty rounds of ap-
| plause from his enthusiastic au-
dience. 1t was a great occasion
for Democracy in this vicinity,
and the general verdict was that
the speech was one of the very
ablest and best ever delivered
here, and all who heard it ex-
press the earnest desire to have
Mr.. Woodland make that same
speech in every township il the
county, for no man who was ever
a Democrat and who has
strayed off, can hear that speech
and remain longer out of the
Democratic fold, if he be honest
in his desire to secure good gov
ernment, which alone can be OBJ
tanned by and through the Dem
ocratic party.
Immediately after Mr.. Wood
ards speech the campaign club
was re-organized for the war;
by the reelection of Capt. D. j
Broadhurst as President, ant
Mr.. A. B. Hollowell as secretary
The names of over two hundred
members We're enrolled, which
is the finest record yet made OF
the first night by a campaign
club here.

WASHINGTON, September 4. Senator
Jones has renounced his allegiance TO
the Republican party and joined the
Populists. He said toa correspondent
to-day:
aYes, it is true / wrote q letter SOW.
eral days ago to the Chairman Of the
Republican Committee OF Nevada
and it will reach him to-day. In this
letter 1 gave my reasons for such &c.
ton, namely, that I no longer can con
tinue ar a member of a party whose
principles and actions on the money
question l am unable to eympathize
with. Tho Republican party, as il.
Illustrated repeatedly, is opposed to free
silver coinage. Especially was this.
demonstrated when the Sherman law
was repealed. 1t it very hard for one
to renounce the party with which he
has affiliated for many years. It
would be harder still and unnatural
for Republican to join the ranks Of
the chief opposing party. 1t would
not only be hard, but unnatural.
What is the natural action to take
then? Why to join the party which
makes the silver question the dom.
inant issue, the Populists. I am as
strong Il protectionist as any man but
the tariff question is secondary issue.
The money question is paramount to
all others. The tariff bill, passed re-
Gently, is a protectionist measure,
leaving out free wool, but it will not
begin to cure the ills from which this
country is now suffering SO terribly.
The Republican party has turned
the hands Of the clock back twenty
years, L can no longer as an honest
man, true to my convictions, remain
with a party whose principles on the
main issue are so repugnant to my
W views. President Cleveland one
year ago said all we wanted wa the
restoration of confidence. The alb.
surdity of it. What we wanted was
money. II we had had money enough
we would have had confidence enough
but it has been a kind of a confidence
game all the way through and / am
heartily sick and tired OF it,"
Senator Jones, about one week later.
