The New York World seems 10
be sfmew nat alarmed because the
South and West have at last realized
that. they have common interests tand
need change in the financial system
of the country. In New York men
vote for their interests and not &C
cording to sentiment of their prejs-
dices. The Worll evidently thinks
that the people of the South and
West will now do the same thing, so
it rushes into print aud tries TO dis

THE sHYLOCKS AND GOLD BUGS
BADLY BORED.

There is q commotion among
money spectators, bankers and gold
bugs. There has been q collision
between them and an argument, and
they have been knocked of the track.
They are badly shattered and ter
ribly ratified. The argument is con-
tanned in little book called "Coin's
School of Finance" This book
contains the simplest, clearest and
yet most powerful presentation of
the financial question ever made.
Anybody who can read simple
language can grasp the whole sub
ject by reading this little book.
There's no way Of telling how clear
and simple it is. Every business
man and farmer in the land ought
to read it. In fact, it looks as
though they are reading it. And
nobody has ever answered it, nor
can it ever be answered. 1t has
been published about six weeks, and
two hundred and fifty thousand of
them have been sold.
1t is converting doubtful people
and alarming the money spectators
and gold bugs. The latter can't do
anything with it. They know it is
right. IHeq have always known
what was right, but their knowledge
has not stood in the way of their
cruel greed and rapacity. Reader,
you MUST get this book. 1t costs a
little, but the CAUCASIAN declares
that when you have once read it,
you will declare that you would not
have missed it for fifty times its
price. Everything concerning the
question of finance, which is to be
the great issue between the people
and the money power, is made clear
as the monday sun. The author is
Col. W. II. Harvey--a bimetallist
aud good Populist. Following are
some facts that will show you how
the book is regarded:
Col. Ham, of Georgia, has been lee
turing through Missouri, Arkansas,
Illinois and Kentucky, and some in
other States. He tells the Atlanta
Constitution that you "hear nothing
else on the trains, in the hotels
wherever you CO." he continued, "PeO-
pie seem to think of nothing else but
the money question. AS for "Coin,'
the effect of that little work is simply
marvellous, just as its sale is. "Coin's
School is in the pocket or in the hand
of every other man you meet. Train
boys, hotel news stands and news SELL
ers on the streets offer it to you wher-
ever you go. They tell me the sale is
the greatest any book has ever known
that tons of them are shipped daily
from Chicago and st. Louis. In all the
arguments you hear "Coin" quoted
The people seem to be more deeply
interested in this money question than
they ever have been in any political
question ever before"
Col. Harvey accepted an invitation
from the Business Mems association OF
Rochelle, ILL.,, one evening last week tC
deliver an address, and was given q
complete ovation by people of the city
and surrounding country. One horny
handed farmer drove in fourteen miles
and explained his interest when shak.
ing hands by saying, 81 drove all that
distance to shake hands with the mar
who could write a book on the silver
question that common farmer car

A PROPHECY EULEILLED.

OalmOn L. CnaSe was secretary OF
the treasury under Lincoln. He was
the father of the present national
banking system. He saw the day he
regretted it, and expree sed that re-
greet in the following words:
My agency in Procuring the passage of
the National Bank Act was the greatest
financial mistake of my life. 1t has built
up monopoly that effects every interest in
the country. 1t should be repealed But
before this can be accomplished the people
Will be arrayed on one side and the banks
on the other in a contest such as we have
never seen in this country
What wonderful prophecy. How
literally it is fulfilled today The
contest is here. The hanks are on
one side and the people on the other.
Are you ready for the 6ghtG Are you
guessing at what you are dong. and
are you working in the light of the
facts! Let no sentiment or preiu-
dice guide you. If you are in doubt,
try to remove the cloud Let any and
every action be the result of an in
telligent comprehension of the mat
tiers at issue.
There are men in the land who
are honestly anI conscientiously con-
cerned for the welfare Of home and
country. They seek to scan the future
and are striving to discover and
establish policy and a government
which will foster good and prosper
GUS citizenship and create unselfsh
and glowing patriotism. To these
men, such schemes to instigate in
surrection and anarchism, as is ex-
emplified by Chairman Pou's secret
circular, are a matter of grave con-
eern and unbounded contempt. A
consolation is that any party of con-
spirators with no better cause for
existence than is hereby shown, will
surely be quickly prescribed by all
honest and earnest people.
An exchange wisely says "Let every
Democratic paper i'm North Carolina

A certain Democratic circular
elsewhere makes some illusions to a
forthcoming history, Gollv-a- Moses.
Are the Democrats going to try to
make more Of this thing: If they
will just remember the history they
have made in the past two years, it
does seem they would come to the
conclusion that the public ought to
be spared the burden of any more.

Now, here is question, asked with
pure, deliberate honesty:

circular is adhered to, and it should
result in dire commotion and disaster,

promoted it have as clear right to

j. X. BUCHANAN,

Did you note this letter carefully
as you read it? Did you notice in
one place Mr.. Buchanan said s'to the
novice in finance are a convincing
argument" and in another place he
said banker had been nearly con-
WINGED against his will, and that
other bankers "passed it over lightly
and did not reply?"
Now what does he suggest? Does
he tell the people it is against their
interests? Did you look at that
point? No. He does not talk about
the great people. But he says: at
seems to me the banking interests
should take the requisite steps to
publish a reply" All! That's it.

great fight will be between the peo-
pie and the money power. Where

MAGISTRA ES MAY QUALIFY TILL
JUNE 9Th.

JUNE 9Th.
The CAUCASIAN has already cited
the provisions Of section S21, of The
Code, which gives the newly appoint
ed magistrates thirty days from the
beginning of their term within
which to qualify. This has been
safe, but not altogether correct.
The new law concerning the elect
ion of magistrates says distinctly that
their terms of Office shall begin April
LIST.
Section S21 of The Code says:
Every person elected or appointed a
Justice of the Peace shall within thirty
days after his term of office begins.
take and subscribe the prescribed oath
of office before the Clerk of the Superior
Court.
The time within which to qualify
under this law is not ann,,lled, but
it is extended by chapter 2SS, Laws
OF 1889, which says:
Section l. That all appointments of
justices of the peace by the General
Assembly shall be void, unless the per-
son so appointed shall qualify within
three months thereafter. \
Secs That all laws in conflict with
this act are hereby repealed, and this
act shall be in force from and after its
ratification.
1t is clearly seen here that the law
of 1885 repeats all laws conflicting
with it, and inasmuch as this act
provides that magistrates may quail
fy at any time within three months
after their appointment, that part of
the Code putting the time at thirty
days is repealed. The new magis-
trates were elected by the General
Assembly on March 9th 1895, and it
thus plainly appears that all the
new magistrates may qualify at any
time prior to June 9Th.
And this is the fact-the law, in
spite of the assertion made by the
News and Observer on April 9th
that:
1t is too late now for any clerk tc
qualify those appointed, and if they
attempt TO qualify them their acts viii
be illegal.
The people will have to thank the
Lord, and not the Legislature, for rid.
ing them of this burden which the
Legislature voted upon them.
The chief interest that the Lord
seems to be taking in this matter is
to let this Democratic horde and
rabble which is infesting the State
weave a web Of falsehood around it.
self which will finally strangle i,
and exterminate it from the earth.
Then the people wiH give thanks.

But for the fact the American
people strive to respect their institu-
lions under the most trying clrcum-
stances, there would be such storm
of denunciatiOn against the United
States Supreme court as this country
has never yet known. Since the in
come tax decision there has been an
under-current of contempt for GER
tain members of that bench that is
absolutely inexpressible, and well
nigh irrepressible.
The CAUCASIAN has already de-
clared that the -goldbugs would un-
hesitatingly plunge this county into
bloody war on the slightest pretext,
so that the great issue of the PEG.
ple-fnance-may be relegated to a
secondary position. If reports be

result in disturbance, riot and some
thing worse, would there be any less
