raleigh. n. c., Aug. 15-The silver
,,ss-ing. at which J. c. sibley Of Penn
-.irsnia was booked to speak to-day,
,-,s quite seriously interfered with by
4 t,rbdding weather. Mr.. Sibley and Ma
r,or Butler. accompanied by about 100
-sople. went from here to Cary. eight
miles where they found about 1000 peo-
,ts But for the weather there would have
hen at least $780, Speeches were made
by J. L. Mewberne, ex-president of the
state alliance; w. A. Graham. trustee
If the state alliance business fund; Cy-
WIS Thompson, president of the state
alliance and contestee for the congress
sional seat from the Third district. and
senator Marion Butler. At o'clock SEN
. .tor Butler introduced Mr.. sibley. ana
the crowd never moved and the speakers
took no apparent notice of the rain.
Mr.. Sibley dealt with the silver prob
1 lem almost exclusively. and what he said
. was punctuated with applause that was
limited only by the capacity of the hands
and lungs of the audience Save as to the
payment of his warm respects to Secre-
tary Carlisle and John Sherman, the ad-
dress was of non-partisan character.
and was a strong appeal for the unity or
II all elements. I'VE have a million votes,''
sbley said, but they are now divided
by political prejudice and partisanism.
How can we hope for anything if We
shall continue to stay divided? We are
waging a fight which is of more impo--
lance and which was attended by more
far-reaching results than any fight ever
made by the Americans. We can win
we must WHINE must in 1896, or we will
never win.
ALREADY the plan is outlined for TAX
ing from a large volume OF our present
currency its legal tender qualities This
is to be followed by an issue of S5oO,00O,-
600 of gold bonds, interest and principal
10 be paid in gold. There is something
less than $500, 900, 600 gold in the world, and
of this amount the Rothschilds own more
than one-half If the issue of $500, 5000
q
would then be a debt of $1,S0O,0OO all
of which annual interest must be paid
in gold Where woulo the people of
America get the yellow metal to dis
charge this awful obligation2 The final
result would be one or TWO of the great
est evils and disasters which can affiict
living mankind-either reputation or rev.
olution.
The speaker paid his respects to Sec
rotary Carlisle. He read from copy
of the secretary's speech, that part which
referred to a conspiracy formed in Eng
land to demonetize from three-sevenths
to one-half of the metallic money of the
people and which would produce greater
disaster than all the wars, pestilences
and famines. Yes, Mr.. Secretary" said
he, "you then had a prophetic eye. But
now YOU are sent over the country to
teach the doctrine of Clevelandism-
The glare OF gold has dimmed his Wis
ions the yellow halo of the Rothschilds
seeks it for the crown. Did 1 say his
vision was obscured? Look at the proph-
ecy of greater disaster than pestilence
and famine made nearly twenty years
ago. Then look at the conditions OF to-
day. Has not that prophecy been lit
orally fulfilled, and does not the course
of the secretary to-day indicate that he
realized the truth of what he said then?"
In his references to the course OF Sen
ator Sherman on the financial question in
this country Mr.. Sibley spared not, and
said: when the genius of all evil shall
call from the vastly deep the spirits of the
traitors and agents of disaster among
mankind to pass in grand review, there
will be among them Judas Iscariot, Bene-
dict Arnold and John Sherman. What
shall be their plea? Judas Iscariot will
be able to say: 4 had the grace to return
to the corruptionists the price of my
treachery; 1 had the grace to eXpiate my
crime by going out and hanging myself.
Another will have plea of like character,
but none can be offered by John Sherman,
and all the spirits of evil will give way to
him, for his only plea can be the work of
disaster to his country without having
followed the example of Judas Iscariot,
or any one else"
In dealing with the last bond issue
Sibley was digniied, but severe. He pre-
sented that action as the work of gold mo-
nometallists who sought to levy taxes on
the fields of the farmer to pay tribute to
bondholders, who put their seythes into
fields in which they had not sown and
garnered from there the productions OF
the labor of others"
point in this part of the address was
Illustrated in a manner which was en-
Enthusiastically and continually applauded.
1T is said that once upon a time the
Jays and Kites assembled and demanded
of the Eagle that she give up her eyrie
on the cliff. The Eagle raised her beak
and showed her claws and the Jays and
Kites few screaming away"
Now the jays of Wall street and the
kites of Lombard street have assembled
and they have audaciously demanded of
the American eagle that she give up her
eyrie, that she surrender to them her
proud and elevated position and become
subejtc to all their demands. Oh my friends,
if that proud old American bird will just
show her beak and sharpen her claws,
the jays of hypocrisy and kites of cor
ruption will fly away screaming and chat
tering before her. The voice of the Amer
lean people and their actions constitute
the American eagle. Shall she surrender
them? Men of America, what will you
do?"
AT the close of the address a member Of
the audience proposed three cheers for
Sibley. Old men present declared that in
response, the so-called rebel yell was
never given grander volume or more sig
nlflcant effect and Sibley said he had never
heard that shout before, and he appre-
ciated it.
