The Situation.
Wilmington DISPATCH

Wilmington Dispatch.I
The fewer dollars the producers
get for their cotton and wheat. the
fewer dollars they will have with
which to trade with the merchants;
and the fewer dollars the retail mer-
chants get from the producers the
fewer they will invest with the
wholesale dealers, the fewer the
wholesale dealers will invest in the
employment Of laborers.
And so 1t goe-, moving in a circle.
The single gold standard, with its
low prices, helps nobody but the
money lenders and bondholders.
Producing nothing, and dealing in
nothing but money, these classes
want prices to be as low as possible;
for the lower prices 60 the more val
liable becomes the article in which
they deal-money. As we have
stated before, the whole gist of the
money question lies in this-whether
the producer shall get more dollars
for his cotton, his wheat and other
commodities, or whether the dealer
shall get more cotton, wheat anu
other commodities for his dollars.

THE SILVER
CONVENTION,
REPORT OF THE Committee ON RES

CONSIDERATION.

Ahe Report In Designed to Meet the y,.~.

Silver Coinage.
The non-partisan silver eopven-
.ioh called to meet in Raleigh on
oeptember 18th, is in session Az this
issue Of THE CAUCASIAN goes to
press. A full report Of the conven-
tion work would delay the paper.
and full report is not presented this
week.
The general committee on resoln-
tions, however, has formulated re-
port to be offered to the convention.
and 1t is quite probable that the re-
port will be adopted. The resolu-
tions are drawn to meet the views of
tue general idea OF the convention,
which has been obtained by a free
and general expression of opinion
among the mem bers attending it.
The resolutions to be offered are
as follows:
Resoloed. That the convention, COM
posed of members of all political
parties in North Carolina, sends
greetings and words of encourage
ment to the adherents of the great
cause of coinage of free silver
throughout the United States, and
urges them to renewed efforts to Sc
cure full and perfect lemonetiza-
ton of silver.
Resol,ed, That the plain and only
way to put an end to the evils of
gold mOnometallism is to open the
minis of this country to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver, as they
are now open to gold; and we de-
mand that this shall be done at the
long established ratio of 16 to l, and
that this country shall act at once,
independently of all other countries.
Resoloed, That we hail with salts
faction the indisputable evidence of
returning reason among business
men and applaud the demands which
enlightened and patriotic men are
making, that the selfish policy in
augurated by cupidity and avarice,
twenty years ago, shall now be re-
versed in the interest of honesty
and fair dealing, and in order that
commerce and agriculture may he
restored to normal and prosperous
conditions.
Resoloed, That ardently attached
to the great cause of free coinage,
we propose to advance it by all the
means In our power, and we call on
all bimetallists SO strenOusly Op-
pose gold mOnOmetallism, and exelt
all their influence to restore silver
| to its former use as q perfect money
metal as it was before 1873. To
this end we earnestly recommend
Ito the voters of this State) that they
elect hereafter only such Senators
and Representatives in the United
States Congress as are sincerely in
favor of the principles hereinbefore
expressed and only such Presiden-
tial electors as will publicly declare
on the stump that they will vote for
no man for President or Vice-Presi-
dent, who is not in favor of such
principles, and whose record and
platform are a guarantee that they
will be faithfully executed.
Resolced Further, That we do earn
estly request all the friends and ad
vOcates of the restoration of the
coinage laws as they existed prior te
1873, to call non-partisan conven.
tons, similar to this, in their severa
States to take similar action.

All Honor To Union Men.

Mortorman and Conductor.
"For ten years." said Potter Pal
mer, of Chicago. 81 made as desper-
ate fight against organized labor
as was ever made by mortal man.
1t cost me considerably more than a
million dollars to learn that there is
no labor so skilled, so intelligent, so
faithful as that governed by an Or
ganization whose laws recognize that
an employer has rights that labor
must respect, and whose officials are
well-balanced, level-headed mel,
who can distinguish between a real
and an imaginary grievance. When
the men in my mill first organized
and sent their committees to me to
discuss questions at issue between us,
my Indignation at their presumption
was unbounded.
"The idea of men whom | employ
ed daring to dictate the treatment
they should receive so incensed me
that l forthwith discharged them all
and precipitated a strike. Well,
tried non-union men and swore
would never allow a union man to
enter my service. persisted in this
fashion for ten years, until l had
transformed one of the best-paying
plants in the West into an almost
hopeless wreck. Everything went
wrong. Men got drunk, machinery
broke down, product was returned,
orders turned down, expense lncreas-
ed and revenue diminished until one
was unable to meet the other. l f.
nally realized my mistake and cor.
rected it, and now I employ none
but organized labor, and never have
the least trouble, each believing that
the one has no right to Cypress the
other"

The Famous s'Star Route" Robberies.
From Scribner's.

From Scribner's.
During Hayes's last years, and there
after, much public attention was drawn
to the ''Star Route" frauds. The Star
Routes were stage-lines for carrying
mails in sections of the West where
railroads and steamboats, failed. In
1873 there were 1926 of these Star
Routes, for the maintenance Of which
Congress- in that year appropriated
$5,9OO,OOO: A ring, made up on the one
hand of Democratic and Republican
public men, some of these very prom
inent, and on the other hand of certain
mail contractors, managed to increase
the remuneration for service on 1876
pet routes from $l43, l69 to $685., 1903.
On twenty-six of the routes the pay
roll was put up from $65,2l6 to $3.50, 3l9.
The method was, first, to get numer-
ously signed petitions from the dis
tricts interested, praying for an in
crease in the number of trips per week,
and shortening the schedule time of
each trip, get estimates" from the
contractors vastly in excess of actual
cost for the service, get these estimates
allowed at Washington, and then di-
vide profits between the statesmen"
and citizens interested in the "deal."
Over some of these lines, it is asserted,
not more than three letters week we're
carried.

the CUBAN WAR.


the Isiandsrs for independence.
For some months past war has
been going on between Spain and
Cuba-the latter fighting free itself
from Spanish domination. The Gu
Dams have made several attempts to
gain their independence, and in the
last fight before tnis one the Span
iards had to put $4,000 troops on
the little Island to quell the rebel
lion. In the present struggle the
opaniards have put nearly so, 900
men In the field. Of these about
200 have been killed in battles and
skirmishes; about 5000 have died
from smallpox, yellow fever and
other diseases; 5000 are missing
either by capture or desertlon.
In a recent fight the Cubans had
prepared more than sixty holes filed
with dynamite on the different roads
along which the troops had to pass.
When the engagement was over a
Spanish regiment marched passed
one OF the traps and the dynamite
exploded, blowing to pieces lieu
S~e oho Cdptdiu anu tulI-
teen soldiers. When the troops
saw this they were SO filed with ter
ror than any entire company de-
serted to the Cubans, and remains
with them.
"A great many people Of the
United States sympathize with the
Islanders, but the relations with
Spain and the national neutality
laws prohibit this country from
taking an active part.
Last week a schooner came into
Southport, n. C. AT the same time
a considerable lot of arms aud am
munition was shipped there by rail,
and all had been taken on board the
schooner, when it was reported that
she was procuring these munitions
for the Cubans. The captain of the
schooner was at once arrested, by
Federal officers and he is now on
trial.
Louis Marx, a tobacconist and a
citizen of the United states, has
placed in the hands Of leopold
Carbajal the sum of $l,325, to be
equally divided between the five SOL
dlers who shall be shown to have
performed the greatest feats for valor
for Cuba in t he present campaign.

A GOLDBUG PAPER "KICKS"

Not Because 1t In Honest, But Because
the People Cant BE Fooled.
The New York Herald, lead
ing goldbug paper, sounds note of
warning in the matter Of another
bond issue. 1t is willing to have all
the bonds, but it knows the people
are awake. 1t says:
1T will be impossible to FOOL
THE PEOPLE with any such clamor"
(referrlng to the clamor of the ex-
PLANTATION made in the last bond
issue, that it was to reinstate the
Treasury currency reserve rather
than the gold balance in the Treas
ury) The public must clearly per-
celve that the distinct and only ne
cesslty fO1 thus mortgaging the
country is to maintain the reserve
on which depends the convertibility
of the paper currency. 1t will be a
most impressive and unmistakable
object lesson, and one which should
result in IMPERATIvELY NEEDED RE-
FORM"
The bond syndicate gets a little
gold from American banks, and adds
it to the Treasury balance, which,
the above quoted paper says, recalls

to say about this disagreeable busl

"Humiliatiug as the confession is
it is the simple truth to say that tn

IN SOUTH CAROLINA.


The eighth State Constitutional
convention Of South Carolina met
At Columbia, S. C., on Sept. 9, With
Gov. Evans as President The pur.
pose Of the convention 10 to qualify
the suffrage 50 as to disfranchise "a
many negroes as possible without
DISTINGUISHING = single white man
except for crime. The negroes have
q majority OF 10000 votes in this
State, and various schemes are
submitted to the convention TO over
come them and TO give the whites .
safe majority. The plan most likely
to be adopted is the Mississippi plan
of educational requirements with
some amendments. Senators Till
man and Irby, Governor Evans, and
other leaders favor this plan. 1t is
opposed by the conservatives" gen.
orally, who regard it as fraudulent.
The conservatives" compose that
faction of the Democrats which has
been swept out of Office by the So
called Tillmanites, and in that sweep
United States Senators Wade Hamp-
ton and NJ. c. Butler went down.
Last week the matter Of establish
ing and naming q new county was
before the convention. The con-
servatives wanted to name the coun-
ty after ex-senator NJ. c. Butler.
Senator Tillman vigorously opposed
the proposition, saying that the ex-
Senator had disgraced the name of
Butler IN South Carolina. He furth-
er said that Butler could not get one
hundred votes in his own county for
an Office. AS a result Of Senator
Tillman's opposition the name Of
"Saluda" was given the new county.
In the matter of per diem the con-
vention has voted only two dollars
per day as compensation for the
members.

has been an easy victory since the
Memphis silver convention. 1t was
there demonstrated that the Demo-
cratic leaders
WOULD NOT ABANDON THE PARTY Or
GANIZATIoN.
The New York Chamber Of Commerce
speaking of its campaign work against
silver, authorizes the following state
ment:
THE FIRST ENCOURAGEMENT.
1.-The committee watched with in
tense interest the Memphis meeting of
last spring. That would show whether
any ground had been gained in the
campaign or whether the work of the
committee had been of no avail. When
it was made apparent at that meeting
that the Southern silver men would
not quit the Democratic party in order
to secu the adoption of the free sill
yer policy, and were not willing to
force a schism in the Democratic party
then it was felt by the committee here
; that there was point in the South at
least beyond which the silver agitatOrs
could not carry the supporters of the
policy. 1t was not great enough u
break up the Democratic party, and il
may now be said that the Republican
members Of this local committee learn.
ed this with quite as much JOY as did
the Democratic members Had Mem.
phis shown the committee that the sill.
yer influence was great enough te
compel reorganization of party lines
in the South, then there would have
been something like despair here"
