Crops are Good and the Peoples Party
Gaining in WaVne.

GRANMHAM's N. c., July IS, '94.
Hon. Marion Butler, Dear Sir.-l

township, looking at the Gro S

crops finer; it is just beautiful to be-
hold. The crops of NJ. +. Cox, II.

are fine, while there are many others
just as good.
[ am glad to know that the Peo-
ple's party is gaining ground every
day, and as proof Of this fact here
is the figures for this township
Four years ago the primary held IN
this township by the Democrats
numbered 1876 voters, by actual
count; two years ago they had re-
duced to ~ and at the last primary
few weeks ago they had run dowr

PITTS DEMOCRATIC CONN NESfION.

The Smallest Attendance in Ten Years.
The Peoples Party Outlook Grows
brighter Each Day.
GreenviIle, \. c., July 26, '94.
EDITOR CAUCASIAN The Demo-
cratic county convention was held
here to- dav. The attendance wa
the smallest seen at any county con
vention in this county for ten years,
and was not more than half as large
As the Peoples party convention held
few weeks ago. There was an
fort at enthusiasm, but it was weak.
There were no instructions. The
convention declared for Senatorial
primaries. Contrary to expectation,
the convention refused TO endorse
Mr.. j. f. Moore for Judge. Th'
county is divided between him az d
Mr.. Battle. The best people in the
district would regret to see Mr. Bat,
tie nominated. The outlook for The
Peoples party i'll the county grow
brig ghter each day. We will surely
put enough votes in the ballot boz
to elect our ticket and the determ
ination is growing stronger each day
that every vote shall be counted "a
cast at all hazards. Reformer.

Cleveland now proposes to appoint
a "Strike commission" This action
is taken, they say, in the Interest OF
labor. But like Sherman anti
trust laws, it will turn out to be IN
favor of the trusts and mOnOpolles
and against the rights of honest la
Dor. We can predict this with safe
ty because we know that the trusts
and monopolies are behind Cleye-
land as they are behind Sherman.
The Democrats now no doubt re,
gret that the Republicans did net
pass their Force bill. If they had
Grover Cleveland and his congress
would certainly have executed 1t III

gress that would endorse Cleveland

The Democratic Seuate's Donation to TIL
Whisky Trust.

The Democratic Seuate's Donation TO the
Whisky Trust.
From the New York Sun (Dem) July 5.l
The Senate has been almost as
kind to the whisky trust as to the
sugar trust. Estimating the present
stock in the bonded warehouses at
0O,OOO,OO0 gallons, the increase of
the tax from 80 cents to Sl.lO gal
lon will put exactly $4O,000,O0O into
the pockets of the whisky trust. But
the S4O,OOO,00O is not the only gra-
tuity given by the Senate to the
whisky trust. The bonded period,
three years under the existing law, Is
made eight years by the Senate; that
is, the trust gets five years more from
the government before being obliged
to pay the tax. All this time the
whisky is improving and the whisky
trust is saving interest. At 9l.lO a
gallon, the interest at 4 per cent
would be A cents gallon. On
100, 100000 gallons the interest
would be S4,400,00O. The sum the
Senate virtually gives to the whisky
trust every year for five years. II
other words, besides making dlrect
donation of $40, 100000 to the whls
Ky trust, it saves that thrifty con.
Germ in five years interest to thu
amount of $22,O00,0O0.
