THEIR ONLY STOCK IN TRADE.
The people are accustomed to hear
the Democratic, goldbug and mono
poly papers call the Populists An
archists. They never try to meet
any of our arguments, but ridicule
and abuse are their stock in trade.
Who ever thought that these mono
poly organs would use tho same
epithsts against the members Of the
United States Supreme court who
voted to sustain the income tax. We
clip the following from the Washing
ton Post, which is q sample Of the
abuse and ridicule that such papers
are using against four members of the
highest court in the nation:
ut appears that all four of the justices
who upheld the income tax are haunted by
dreadful forebodings of future calamity
But Mr.. White is the chief sufferer. He is
beSet by blOOd-red specter, and that, as
everybody knows, is really dreadful As
We have said, we greatly wish that some
thing could be done for him.
four august persons who desire the perpetua-
ton OF the income tax are about the only
human beings in the country who appre-
bend revolution as the consequence Of Mon
days decision. We can we'll believe that
the agitators, the incendiaries, and the an
favorable termination in this case and in
nuenced by few more attacks upon indus
try and thrift, might have thought it well to
hasten the contamination toward which
such demonstration inevitably tends and to
raise the red flag while opportunity seemed
aspiring to their favor and believed them
ment suspicious it is quite likely they might
have declared the social revolution.
when it comes to blood-red specters,
however, or, for that matter, specters of any
variety whatsoever, the case is different.
Danish the dread shapes of nightmare. We
can only pray for Mr.. Justice White and
hope that q benefcent if at times in
scrutable, Providence will at its leisure re-
store his shattered peace of mind. We can
guarantee him against those revolutions

and dong so much to encourage, but in the
case of sPscters, particularly Of the blood
red brand, we can only supplicate and SYM
pathize."
The above is outrageous. It is as
indecent as the attack which North
Carolina paper made on our own
Supreme court. It shows plainly that
no man, high or low, can escape the
abuse of these monopoly organs if
he desires to vote his convictions
and stand by the constitution and
the people. This reminds us of the
reply, which the editor of the Chicago
Tribune tried to make to "Coin's
Financial School," He simply called
the author of that book 'lunat,c,"
"a therskite,""a blatant orator, :"
"a humbug," &c. The next day one
of tho stockholders of tho paper
called on the editor and asked him
why he did not use arguments to re-
ply to plain, strong, facts presented
by Mr.. Harvey. He reply was:
Argument! Abuse is the only argu-
ment there is!'
ARE YOU A FRIEND OF GOOD GOVERN
MENT?
Let every patriot read The eau.
cAs1AN and learn the facts and the
truth-get your neighbors to read it
truth and right can not conquer
by themselves. The friends of good
government must put the truth be-
fore the voters. Get every voter to
read The CAUCASIAN and it will do
the rest.
The third edition of Prof. Brice's
great work the "American Common
wealth" is just ont enlarged and i'm
proved. The book contains only one
reference to the Democratic city of
Baltimore, which we copy in full:
"For a remarkable recent incident in
Baltimore, see the report of United
States Civil Service Commissioner
roosevelt to the President, May 1, 1891.

We are truly grateful that Prof.
brlce did not make any investiga-
ton into the election methods in this
State while the Democratic machine
bull.pen methods were in operation.
And it is to be hoped that that gang

never get chance to commit their
foul practices again.
Judging from the extract from
the speech of Secretary Carlisle,
published elsewhere, it is difficult to
determine where he is at. Perhaps
he favors re-establishment of what
was called the "wild cat" State
