ious, too, for a court that will work

the NeUCs and Observer is not foolish
enough to suppose himself even a one

mad with the Supreme Court for disa-
greeting with him on a question of law,

Senator Vance was a lifelong advo-
cate of free coinage. Viii the Charlotte

him as a man of the first order Of

The Salisbury Waterman thinks that
this country needs an international

OF COURT.

The editor of the NeWs and Observer
and his directors have laid themselves
liable for contempt of court or criminal
libel. Enraged because they have lost
control of North Carolina, they have
thrown prudence to the wind.
Public sentiment does not sustain
them-even that part of it they have
debauched and corrupted with ma
Aicious partisan villification and abuse.
They know that there is abundant
reason and authority to sustain the
court, that many, if not most, of the
Democratic lawyers sustain and en-
dorse the decision of Carr VS.. Coke, that
many, if not most, of the States in
which the question has been raised
have decided as, our court did. And
yet they are willing to lead ignorant
and corrupt men to believe that the
court really violated their oaths and
sought by their opinion to shield a
felon. They have forgotten that men
who for the sake of mere partisan ad-
vantage impugh the motives of others
are now weighed for what they are
worth in North, Carolina.
The impudence of these scurrilous
and unprovoked attacks on our Su-
preme Court has never been equalled
in this section within our recollection.
The management of the Ne,cs and
Observer has vapored much about an
Archy from time to time. What makes

That excellent reform paper, The
PROGRESSIVE FARMER, of Raleigh, N.
c., the property of Mrs. L. L. Polk,
reached our table last week. At the
head of it's editorial columns are the
memorable and prophetic words of
her grand and noble husband, Hon.
L. L. Polk, uttered July 4, 1890;
81 am standing now just behind the
curtain, and in full glow of the COM
ing sunset. Behind me are the shadows
on the tracks, before me lies the dark
valley and the river. When I mingle
with it's dark waters I want to cast one
lingering look upon a country whose
government is of the people, for the
people and by the people. "-MissoWri

COMPARED.

Mr.. O. M. Sanders, of Walkersville,
N. O., writes the Lumberton PopuIi8t
as follows:
1.-THE Democratic papers are making
quite a stir about what The PROGRESS
sIVE FARMER said in regard to counter
feiting silver. 1 think THE PROGRESS
sTVE FARMER is wrong about it. AS
a rule we should be subject to the
powers that be, and / do not think this
is a a that would justify us in max
ing an exception. But the man who
votes and works for a gold standard,
the nan who votes and works to con.
tract the currency of the country,
thereby c%rowding more and more of
the product of mans labor into a dollar
and increasing the debtors indebted,
ness by decreasing his ability to pay,
is far, far more guilty in the sight of
High Heaven of making a dishonest
dollar than the man who puts 4121
grains of silver in a piece and circu-
lates it for a dollar. But the Charlotte

A AS A A HARE.

In an editorial in the Danville Star
appears these two propositions almost
in the same sentence: That the free
coinage of silver will enhance the value
of silver bullion 100 per cent. (the sill
yer mine owners of the West receiving
the benefit of the appreciation and
that the tobacco farmers of Virginia
will receive only one half the value of
their tobacco crop, because they will
be paid for it in a deprecated money.

seen these two arguments used by the
goldbugs before, but never in the same

FRUSTRATED WITH PROS
PERITY.

The tidal wave of prosperity talked
about in the goldbug sheets still fingers
in the distance. We are about to con
clude that they are mistaken-that
the wave of prosperity is a wave Of
continued hard times.
Father Mahoney, a Catholic priest
whose work is among the masses in
Brooklyn, N. Y, is quoted as saying:
"Never before in all my long expert
ence as a parish priest has the city of
Brooklyn been in such a woeful condi-
ton as it is now. Hundreds of fami-
lies are starving. 1t is like an awful
famine in a land of plenty, and unless
relief comes soon the results will be
appalling to contemplate. have seen
strong men, steady and Industrious,
actually begging for bread to feed their
starving children. There is no work
for them, nor are there any indications
that the situation will improve. Ihave
invariably held that actual want and
poverty are caused by the people them
selves; this time it is different. Good
honest families are feeling it. The lit
tie they have been able to save has dis
appeared. In many homes this morn
ing there is not as much as q loaf of
bread. Woe to the men who have
brought this about. Prospects of good
crops we're never fairer. Now, how.
ever, we are face to face with actual
starvation. Men who have the money
bags tied up will not loosen the strings.
What has caused this conditions The
tricks Of the bloodhounds who call
themselves men. In order to crush
the unfortunate toiler they closed I'D
the factories and mills; industries have
been crushed that prices may be forced
up. No one feels it but the workman.
He is made to feel it, SO that next year
he will be glad to take whatever wages
the bloodhound is willing to offer"

GOOD ILLUsTRATIoN.

An amusing incident occurred on the
train when Carlisle and his party were
returning from their ''sound money"
poWwow at Memphis. Among the
delegates were Banker Broder, of
R~ussellville, Ky, and Hon. Ben Per
kins, of Elkton, in the same state, says
the Non COnformist.
The latter is an ardent free silver
man and as they sat in the sleeper was
discussing with Banker Brcder the all
prevailing question. The porter of the
sleeping car came along and Broder
handed Perkins a silver dollar with the
request that he give him two halves
for it, as he wished to tip the porter.
Mr.. Perkins looked at the silver dollar
a moment, then handed it to the por-
ter, saying: Keep it, for according to
MI. Broder's own statement it is only
worth fifty cents" The porter, smiled
an ivory smile and slipped the "depre-
ciated currency" into his pocket. And
to this hour the R~ussellville banker
doesn't know where he is at on the
value of a silver dollar.

SIS ARE WHAT WE WANT.

Richard Razor, who runs the kicking
department of the Peoples Pepper at

"BELoNGING TO THE PARTY"

When a man se-3 I belong to the
Democratic party or I belong to the
Republican party, he often means more
than people suppose. He really does
belong to his party, and speaks with
great accuracy when he says so. He
will do what he is told to do. He wears
a collar. He carries a label. He has
put on his prison uniform. He is
counted by the regular professional poll
tician like one of his sheep. They
know him. He can always be counted
to vote the straight ticket" They
can make him think it is a disgrace
not to vote it straight. They can make
him believe it is dishonorable to split
his ticket. He has forgotten his coun-
try and his State. He only remembers
Ibis party" The party is not ''his;"
he is the party's,
But when you hear a professional
politician talking about ''his" party, he
is talking good grammar. The party
is his. He owns it's assets and capital
stock. He gets owns all its Offices.
He does not trade off his party except
for one which will give him a fatter
office

ONE WAY OUT.

There is absolutely but one way out
of tie present conditions, and that is to
reverse the financial policy of the last
80 Years. During all this time there
hai been a constant contraction of the
currency and consequent fall in prices,
until to day more than 90 per cent. of
tie business of the country is done on
acredit. 1t seems almost useless to
picture the ruinous effects of q con-
5racted currency. The story can be
told by every farmer and laborer
throughout the land, and it is every
where the same, says the Salisbury
Waterman.
Only a few of the crditor classes
have been benefited by the contraction
policy, and even they r standing on
an uncertain foundation, for they can
not expect to be permanently safe
while the producing classes are being
driven from their homes and made
tenants and serfs. A system that
works financial ruin to the producers
must inevitably bring ruin to every
other class sooner or later.
Everybody is now asking when
times will get better. To those who
are acquainted with the cause of hard
times the answer is plain. There never
can be better times until there is an in
crease in the volume of money to cor
respond with the growth of population
and business. This is absolutely the only
way out, and all talk about some other
way is nothing but idle and ridiculous.
To remedy the evil the cause must be
removed by an expansion of the vol
ume of money. Enhanced prices will
bring better times, but with falling
prices times will continue to go from
bad to worse.
This Republic cannot endure very
long under the present financial VS.
tenn. We as a nation are practically
bankrupt now, and it will take only a
few more years of falling prices to
cause the crash to come. There should
be a speedy change.
