SOME BIG FLOPPERS.

The power of gold and the power
Of official patronage have been more
clearly and blatantly shown during
the months of the year 1895 than
ever before in the history of this
country. The gold-leaders have
dictated terms to this govern
ment, and the President has
ordered those to whom he has
given fat places to bow down to the
golden calf, and they have done so
with Bringing obsequiousness and
servility that are sorely disgusting
to whatever of manhood there is left
among the people of the United
States.
This power was mighty, in a silent
way, in 1873 when the great none
tary crime of the century was sneak
ingly accomplished by demonetizlng
| silver. No American who has any
knowledge Of the country's history
now. denies that onei John Sherman
was chief leader in that scheme. II
has not been generally known that he
was guilty of a duplicity so bold and
impudent that he was not suspected
but he was. Here is the proof.
On January 10th 1873, John Sher.
man, while making a speech in the
Senate on the banking bill ..l313, said
IF any one fact is proven by the expert
ence of mankind it Is that gold and silver
are the best possible standards of value
They have been - recognized by every ma
ton from the earliest period Of recorded
time. However much nations may differ
in religion, habits, productions or climate
they have not differed in this primary Ak
iom of exchange or barter. Experiment.

1t is said that immense pressure
is being brought to bear on Chair
man Pou, of the Democratic execu.
tive committee, to call q convention
for the purpose of considering silver.
The results of the adoption of free
silver resolutions by the committee
seems to have made the chairman
and all other leaders somewha,
touchy on this subject. They ster
around it like it was dynamite.

We recently had information from
q correspondent in Harnett county
saying that Democratic papers were
being sent to parties who never sub

Millions of Recommendations Of

poisoned by this stuff. Are you do

The Memphis convention, COM
posed of men Of all parties, met,
copied a plank from the Peoples

resolution unanimously endorsing
this plank, and then adjourned. AT
the next comparison convention Of

another plank from the Omaha plat.

that Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln
believed in, and we hope to see al
patriots soon get back to the good

STILL STAMPEDING.

The stampede" continues. Mr.. L.
L. Witherspoon, a prominent lawyer
of Newton, has denounced the two
old parties as frauds, and has aligned
himself with the Populists-the party
that honestly and openly::and unitedly
advocates free silver coinage-the
interests aiof the people-"equal
rights to all and special privileges
to none.n When such men as this
come out of the old gangs it means
something. Of course the old party
papers say that they have sustained
no loss, &c., &c., and all that sort of
thing; but we notice that these same
papers are always saying that SO
many people of such place or sec
ton are looming back to Democ-
racy;" and then the same papers
"hallelujah" over the statement. We
believe one little preacher who had q
Democratic flock and got scared
about the permanency of his job il
the only individual the Democrats
can name who has said anything
about "going back" The CAUCASIAN
has printed numerous letters during
the past few months giving residenc,
and signatures of men Of prominenc.
who have roundly declared the ole
Democratic machine to be a rotte1
fraud, and that they were no longel
connected with it. The People,
Party is growing today as it neve
grew before. Let every true ma,
keep right in the middle of the road

The immensely of the efforts being
made by the leaders of the old gangs
to find out whether the people OF
money will rule the conventions, il
almost pathetic. Poor old coots
They want to be in 80 much, and
they don't know which road to tax,
just now to get there. They believ'
in the power of money, but at thi
time they are uncertain as to tn
power of the people. Let the peopl'
leave them standing in the forks O

not want to tell where they were at.
The lame excuse given for not max.
ing q declaration was that it was the
business of the National Convention
to make platform, and that the

express an opinion. This simply
means that the "bosses," who will b<

So, so! When these mighty dicta-

They will not come down to the

Is the work of this great Shylock
organization having any effect? They
think so any way; and the sad fact
is that the effect is bad for the peo-
pie. The Atlanta Constitution says:
The Presidentex himself as greatly
pleased with the results of the campaign of

believes that the ''siIver craze has spent its
force. The reports received at the White
House indicate that reaction has set in and
that the goldbugs will control the next
national convention.

Mexico, Oct, 3.-The total volume of
the foreign trade of the country during
the fiscal year ended June 30 amounted to
$124,S55,393. This consisted of $90,S54,-
953 in exports ana $34,ooo,44o in imports,
being an increase in the total foreign
trade of over $15,0OOO00 compared with
the preceding year. The United States
took $67, ,322,9 1856 of the exports and sent
here SIS, 5,139,367.
The growing preponderance of Amer
lean trade here arouses the intense jeal-
ousy of the resident European merchants,
who privately denounce the ignorant
Yankees, as they insolently term all Amer
leans, while at the same time they seek to
secure the agencies of the American man
ufacturers, and in many cases only for the
purpose of finding what will sell best and
then having such goods initiated in Eu-
rope. American cutlery and agricultural
Implements are connterfeited in Germany
and American firearms in Spain. The
famous Rogers cutlery of Sheffield is
counterfeited in Germany, but the stuff is
worthless, and the Sheffield people do not
seem to care to protect their valuable
trade mark.
