these great questions the two old par
ties are as silent as the grave.
In conclusion, allow me 10 say ito the
wage earners that there is ye6 "a
higher and nobler reason why you
should vote the Populist ticket.
Namely, it is the party of liberty and
manhood. Abraham Lincoln once
said it was impossible for this nation
to stand half free and half slave. He
referred to chattel slavery. 1t is no
less true to wage slavery. Disguise
II as you may. ii is none the less true,
that the average wage Garner of to-
day is in no better condition than
was his black brother prior to 1863,
in aaany cases much worse. This
condition is increasing rather
brought it about still exist. and so
long as the cause exists this condition
will continue. The old parties propose
no remedy that reaches the case: while
the -Populists do. The aim of Populism
is to raise you out of your present con-
dition and make free men of You. re-
store you to the aVen-bestowed bless
ings of natural opportunity and make
free men of you Without making any
claims to Instability. We want To say
that the Populists are the only people
who are working along that line. They
are the pioneers of modern thought
and may be mistaken. but honest in
their endeavors. and will, sooner or
later. as l believe. be the Moses that

from their present state of worse than
Egyptian bondage into that earthly

only right way to deal with this evil.
II would be as reasonable and as just
to attempt to regulate the vice Of
stealing by license as it is to regulate
the evils of liquor selling by license.

party which teaches protection to

II Vote 1t No More"
For the Caucasian.

RALEIGH, N. c., March 2s.-AIl the
democratic papers are full of Fred
Douglass. The Democrats would not
have had the legislature to bav.
missed adjourning for Fred for the
world. That is a nice thing with
which to prey upon the ignorance of
the poor, deluded, oppressed whites.
A party whose very essence is on
preston is not the party of the WORK
ing people of this great land. know
whereof speak when I saw opnres-
sion. When poor man is dismissed
from work on account of the wav he
votes, and people calling themselves
Christians laugh and tolerate sucb
acts, where is liberty, where is man
hood, where is philanthropy?
All the Fred Douglass matter
dwindles into insignificance when
see the rights of manhood trampled in
the dust by the Patricians(?) Wab,
Fred will be the great hobby of 1896
but he will not ride worth a cent. to,
ward the gate of office.
we have graver problems to work
than that. We will talk of financial
matters, bond issues, the naked and
starving millions, the management of
the late extra session of Congress. etc.
A few weak people may hold up their
hands in holy horror at Douglass mar
rying white woman; but oh, nv con-.
science the papers say his father was
white man and guess Democrat.
L have voted the old secession ticket
twenty-nine years. but Douglass or no
douglass, vote it no more. Please
print this for truths sake.

from the Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette:
Farmer Anderson ha- 3.pn bushels
of wheat. Mr.. Jones has a thousand
dollars worth of silver bullion. Mr.
Ander>on> wheat l. worth ia the
market 81 .uvo. So H. Mr. jones' silver
silver bullion. Mr.. Homes goes to Phil

Anderson brings along hi- thousand
dollars worth ui wheat Mr.. Jones buy
1t. paying him 81 wHb-and hr has ;, .upD
left with which 10 buy the wheat of Ia,
next farmer that comes along.
DO you take Farmer Anderson fol
a fool! The dram on his pocket
since 1873 has given him clear in
sight INTO the cause Of MS poverty.
Here Is the way he sums up the stu
alton: He owed Jones 81 900. and
900 bushels of wheat would settl.
the debt. But Jones conspir.d with
other gold sharks. They struck down
half OF the currency by demonetizinr
silver, and now Farmer Anderson
must pay 1000 bushels of wheat 10
settle the $1,000 debt. In her
words. his debt has been doubled by
this change from the double stand
ard to the single gold standard.
Our federal, state. county, mum
cipal and individual Indebtedness in
this country is forty thousand mil
lion dollars. This is PRACTICAL,
doubled by the adoption of the gold
standard. Ii Jones knows what j.
good for him he had better not tell
Farmer Anderson that the change is
a blessing. Before he makes such
declaration he should first get

through the columns of your paper
which yoH SO freely lend to the abuse
of Republicans that know nothing of
the way the bill got into the office of

There were as many as twelve clerks i'm

hands until took it with a bundle to

divert comment from his vote on the

The News and Observer Has Been Talkin
Too VI uch--Says Mr.. Bryan, of Chatham.

The News and Observer Has Been Talking
Too Much--Says Mr.. Bryan, of Chatham.
In it's issue of March 18th, the
News and Observer spoke Of Repre-,
sentative Bryan, of Chatham, as fol
| lows:
Bryan, OF Chatham, on the stump in the
last campaign, did not deny that he had
passed spurious COMA crime under the
| laws of the United States he did not deny
that he had been guilty of stealing will, of
which crime he was accused by the Chatham
Record.
Representative Bryan made no
protest to these utterances; but on
the next day the same paper said:
He did not deny, during the last cam
paign, that he had passed spurious coin. He
only admitted that he had been indicted in
tho federal court at Greensboro, but was
acquitted. His acquittal was on the ground
that the alleged spurious coin was only a
portion OF the usual paraphernala of pro
fessional gamblers, he being at that time a
member of that noble order. x x
In the celebrated Faucette will case. he
testified that he had discovered hologranh
will which prevented his brother. from YET.
ting any portion of the Faucette property.
that he hid it; that subsequently It was
destroyed, but fortunately for the character
OF IN" ieIawmer" X the Jury did not
believe he was thief preferring to believe
That he lied about the transaction.
Mr.. Bryan has remained an
parently quiet under these foul and
blackguard-like sings and charges.
but his attention has been called TO
the matter by his lawyer, who saws
that they constitute a clear case of
libel. And while reluctant to get
INTO any sort of contest with anv-
body capable of attempting such ma
Ign mt aspersions of his character.
he thinks it due him and his friends
to permit the News and Observer to
make these matters a little clearer.
That this may be done, he has au-
thorlzed the entry of a suit fol libel
and ten thousand dollars damages
against that paper, and is moving to
have the matter brought up at the
next term of the criminal court.
Mr.: Bryan was sent to the legisla
ure from Chatham county by a ma
orlty of l,137 votes. The record
With which he is credited by the
News and Observer, if true. is
'nough not only to have compassed
lis defeat among the good people of
nathan, but to make them run him
ut of the county. Mr.. Bryan's pro-
'osed suit, however, will bring the
erdlct of the Chatham county peo-
lie face to face with the structures of
hat paper.
