JUDICIARY

After the surrender, in 1865, we had
in North Carolina what was known as
a provisional government, with WV.
Holden, Governor. This government
was to last until a reorganization or
reconstruction could be accomplished.
Governor Holden had this reconstruc
ton work in hand by appointment
from Washington, and he had to
organize a provisional government to
hold elections and execute laws until
the people could organize and elect a
regular government. Gov. Holden, to
aid him in the arduous task, appointed
Hon. Richmond M. Pearson Chief Jus
tice Of the Supre me Court and Hon. K
G Reade n of the associate justices.
When the legislature convened they
were both elected to succeed them
selves. The new constitution took the
election of judges from the Legislature
and gave it to the people in 1868. The
conventions of both Democratic and
Republican parties nominated both of
these men to be their own successors,
though both were Republicans, and
they both served until 1878, when
Judge Pearson died and Judge Reade's
term expired.
So a non partisan judiciary, as now
proposed, is not an entirely new nor
untried scheme. We believe it will
work admirably and ought to be the
rule.

THE FRIEND OF TRUSTS

For several years the Democratic
party has posed as the enemy of trusts.
Doubtless many of the voters are sin
cere in their declarations, but the party
has made a very Unenviable record. 1t
required an Alliance legislature to pass
the anti trust law now in force inNorth
Carolina. 1t is a good law, but the
present Democratic officials are too
cowardly to enforce it. Until men are
put in charge of State affairs, men with
backbones, men with honest hearts, the
law will be worthless.
Nationally, the party is even worse.
While pretending to be willing to stop
trusts and denouncing the Republicans
for fostering them, the party has acted
far worse than even the Republicans.
Trusts feel absolutely safe so long as
every member of the Cabinet, from
Cleveland down, is a member of a cor.
poratiOn or trust combination. Cleve

ing his salary from the railroads yet,

and of the National Brewers and
Whiskey Trust. Olney is a railroad
attorney, Gresham is a railroad attor-
ney, Carlisle is the attorney of the
Whiskey Trust. A majority of the
Senators and Congressman are trust
and corporation men. The Sugar,
Whiskey and Standard Oil trusts were
the special recipients of favorable legis-
lation during the last Congress; SO were
the railroads and the bankers. The
demonstration of silver and the attend
ing panic was worth millions of dollars
to the rich bankers. It enabled Roths-
child and the Vanderbilts to get thou
sands of miles of railroads at panic
prices" But the browning piece OF
infamy was the ''anti trust law" incos'

HOW CAN TRADE REvlvEa


Tt is nonsens to talk about a revival
of tradel
Trade never revived on a falling mai
ket for production.
A necessary article to revive trade
is money,
1t takes money and purchasers to re
svive trade.
Who is there with money to spend
and revive trade9
Can the laborer, who is out of EN-
ployment, be depended upon to revive
trades
Can the farmer, whose products have
declined so per cent. from last years
prices, help revive trader
Will employed labor, under reduced
wages, come to the front and help re-
vive trade9
If the consumers have not the money
to spend to revive trade, how is trade
to be revived?
Will some one good at figures please
answer this question, and relieve an
anxious public9
The Democrats say trade is to revive.
Is it going to revive without anyone
reviving It'll
Is it going to revive despite the alb
sence of purchasers to revive it7
About the only thing that is %reviving
is Democratic humbuggery. Humbug-
gerry is on a boom.
Trade is dead, and will stay dead I'm
til the people get money by a rising
market. 1t takes money to pay debts
and revive trade by the purchase of
articles on the market for sale.
If the farmer should receive 10 cents
for cotton this fall, he would have more
money than he had last year, and thence
could revive more trade than he did
last year.
As cotton is lower than it was last
year, and cotton seed n half lower,
wheat and everything else the farmer
has to sell is lower, how is the farmer
to revive trade9
Wages of labor has been reduced on
all the railroads and in the manufac-
tories and shops. How is the wage
Garner to help trade revive9
Who else is there to revive trade9 1t
the tradesman cannot sell his goods, he
won't revive very much, will heG
As farm products go down, and wages
decline, the power of the consumer is
reduced and there is less consumed.
This is followed by a reduction of the
price of goods, as the tradesman desires
to sell, and trade being dull, he bids for
it by reducing his profits.
Thus there is a falling market all
around, yet Democrats tell us trade is
Ieviving! The only thing that is reviv
ing in the old party campaign liar. He
is vigorous, and appears to be doing an
active business.

DISHONEST ELECTION METHODS

We wish to emphasize all we have
said heretofore in regard to election
methods in this State. First, you must
be registered according to the unfair
election laws of the State. EUery re-
quirement must be looked after. This
must be done between nov and next
Saturday. See that every n of your
neighbors are legally registered.
Too much confidence has lost many
we'll fought battles. Work right on up
to the day of election, work on that
day, and watch. Old tricks will bere-
sorted to and new ones introduced. In
the precincts where the elections have
been fair and honest in the past, may
be the ones where the most vigilance is
required. Watch the boxes where
crooked work has been done in the
past. See that the votes are put in
right and e them coupted. The Law s
of the State say that the voters Of each
party are entitled to see the counting.
See it done. Watch the man who is
calling off names and the man who is
keeping tally. Frequently those call
ing the names call out a ticket for J.
w. Jones, Democrat, for Congress, or
whatever the vote is, when it has the
name of S.. M. Smith, Peoples party
nominee, See that this is not done.
Sometimes the tally keeper puts down
one for Jones when the name of Smith
was called. Stand behind him and see
that he does not doRthis. Stand by the
returns. c. to the county seat and
see that there1s no manipulation. There
are dozens of schemes for cheating.
Look out for all of them. Remember
that the dominant party is making it's
last stand in this State, and is des
perate.
There are t~housandso of honest Demo
Gratis. The elections in many town
ships, and even whole counties, have
been honest. But the dirty work is
always done in a few counties and pre-
cincts. In the recent election in Ala
bama, Oates majority was made in less
than half of the counties. The same
plan was pursued in Georgia. The
9 anne has been done in North Carolina
and will be attempted again. Two
years ago LOO Peoples party votes
we're thrown out in Brunswick county
in order to carry certain districts. The
Democrats claimed that the Peoples
party tickets voted in that county were
printed on yellow paper, when the law
says the paper shall be white. The
claim was false. All the tickets were

HON. w. A. MONTGOMERY.

Hon. Walter A. Montgomery, late Of
Warrenton, but for two years or more
a resident of this city has been put on
the non partisan Judiciary ticket to
take the place of Judge Conner, who
was first named and virtually agreed
to serve if elected, but later was per,
suaded to decline.
Mr.. Montgomery is a man Of unln.
peachable character, morally, socially
and politically. His legal ability IS
first class. He is a Democrat from
principle, but has never been a ma
chine man, and is not an offensive
partisan. Mr.. Montgomery is heartily
in favor of a non-parti5an judiciary
and most, if not all of the reforms de
manded by the people. The names Of
a number of gentlemen have been Oils
cussed in connection with this vacancy
on the ticket, members Of each Of the
three parties. There has been no lack
of timber. We believe Mr.. Mont.

the people, and that he will serve j

success, the friends will please con-

printed at the same time. in the same
office, on the same paper. Extra tickets
were stuffed in the boxes ii Wa. ne
and other counties in order I, throw
out certain precincts and connt in
Democrats. Judges of election may
fail to sligo certain returns according
to law. See that there are no such
failures.
2 Ballot box thieves have been sown in
the State. We are now aping the
product. At one time it was considered
necessary to steal votes and manipu
late to overcome negro supremacy"
Men who could thus take the first step
now regard the stealing of white votes
as essential to success. In many in
stances the Democratic machine"
county commissioners have refused to
appoint intelligent Peoples party or
Republican poll holders. Ignorant or
purchasable white and colored men
have been appointed, n of these to
represent the opposition while two of
the smartest Democrats represent that
party. This is proof that fraud is in
tended whenever and wherever this
has been done. Be doubly vigilant
where such a state of affairs exists.

IS 1T ovERPRoDUcTIoNf

The best estimates now obtalnaoie
place the wheat crop of the world for
1894 at 2, 276, 600, 600 bushels. The crop
last year amounted to 2,279, 600. 600
or 600, 900 bushels more than for this
year. Yet the price is % per cent.
lower than it was last year-wM prob
ably average more than Is per cent.
lower. But, says the overproduction
crank, "that extra 5000, 600 bushels in
1893 brought down the price" Poor
crank. The crop for the past ten years
has averaged 2 $50, 900, 900 and was all
consumed, and much of the time the
price was twice as high as it now is.
The shortage in 1892 of 5000, 900 bushels
and 1000, 900 in 1894 ought to have
raised the price a little. Instead of a
rise the fall is more than 80 per cent IN
two years. All this in face of the fact
that the population of the world is In
creasing at the rate of many hundreds
of thousands annually, ought to con-
vince any overproduction eranks that
may be left on the top side of the earth
that they are great big fools.

ground, and it does not require the eye
of a lawyer to detect the weak points
in i5. Here is the law: THAT every
combination, conspiracy, trust, agree
ment or contract is hereby declared to
be contrary to public policy, illegal and
void, when the same is made by or be-
tween two or more persons or corpora
tions, either of whom ia engaged in i'm
porting any article from any foreign
country into the United States, and
when such combination, conspiracy,
trust agreement or contract is intended
to operate in restraint of lawful trade,
or free competition in lawful trade or
commerce., or I o increase the market
price in any part of the United States
of any article or articles imported or
intended to be imported into the United
States, or of any manufacture into
which such imported article enters or
is intended to enter. Every person
who is or shall hereafter be engaged in
the importation of goods or any COM
modify from any foreign country in
violation of this section of this act, or
who shall combine or conspire with an
other to violate the same, is guilty of
a misdemeanor, and, on conviction
thereof in any court of the United
States, such person shall be fined in a
sum not less than 800 and not exceed
ing IS, 900, and shall be further punished
by imprisonment, in the discretion Of
the court, for term not less than three
months nor exceeding twelve months. "
The law is written in true legal
p~arlance, and to the very green might
prove a deception. The Democrats are
using it in their secret hand books and
in an offhand way to fool all they can.
But it is safe tosay that they will never
use it as a campaign document among
sensible people. You will notice that
only importers are liable to punish
ment under the law. We guess very
few trusts care to import anyway. All
home dealers and manufacturers are
given permission to rob their neigh
bors of all they wish and SO long as
they please. Was there ever a more
transparent scheme to shield trusts3
Is it not plain that trust attorneys pre-
pared that law with a special view to
the evasion of it3 Can you, will you
vote with a party so devoid of prin-
ciple, so ready to defend or protect
robbers9
