Was John G. Calhoun a Democrat?

John G. Calhoun in a speech op-
posing banks of issue and urging
that the Government should issue
all currency used these words, and
they are as true to-day as when ut
tered in the United States Senate in
1887:
with this banking law so we'll estab-
lished, place the money in the hands of a
single individual, or a combination of indi-
viduals, and they, by expanding and con-
tracing the currency, may raise or sink
prices at pleasure; and by purchasing when
at the greatest depression and selling ut its
greatest elevation many command the
whole property and industry of the coun-
try. Never was an engine invented better
calculated to place the destiny of the many
in the hands of few, or less favorable to
that equality and independence which lies
at the bottom of our free institutions"
This is exactly the doctrine of the
Peoples Party to-day, while the
Democratic party has deserted this
great principle of Democracy and
gone into copartnership with the
national banks and the golden idol.
The man who loves the principles of
Democracy should join the Peoples
Party. If he stays in the present
Democratic party, he must sacrifice
his principles.

In another article it says:

| who fail to advertise, are a. lonesome as q

Well, l don't know whether the

''The True Bond Of Union"
For tho Caucasiap

For the Caucasian.J
TARBoRo, N. c., June 28.-In q
recent issue of the News and Obser-
yer ex-senator Jarvis is quoted as
saying that tho people Of the south
and west must unite in order to obtain
financial reform, and that the "Dem-
ocratic party will be the bond of
union"
The ex-senator has been a lifelong
Democrat; he has fought the Repub-
lican party with all the vigor and
vehemence of his nature. Would he
join the Republican party to obtain
financial relief
We venture the opinion that he
would not. Then could the western
Republicans he expected to vote the
Democratic ticket after they have
fought its measures and policies TO,
yearsf No! The Democratic party
can not furnish the "bond of union
because the western people will no,
support it. Furthermore it has had
a splendid opportunity to enact finan.
cial LEGISLATION, but has made ar
| ignominous failure. There is nov
"lack Of confidence" in the Demo
cratic party.
The Peoples Party will be tn,
"bond of union" for the south an(
west. JAMES B. LLOYD.

''It is not generally known by the

is family burial ground about one
half mile west of Buffalo creek, be-
yond the bleachery in which there
are several graves, but the chief in
terest in it is the grave of Benjamin
Patton. He seems to have no rela-
tives, as there is no one nearer than
Asheville. Whether the AsheviHe
Pattons are the descendants of Ben
jamin Patton is not known. It will

Atlanta Constitutional
The New York Times, whose edi-
tor knows a hawk from a handsaw
when the wind is blowing in the
right direction, administers some
thing of rebuke to The financial
Chronicle for urging Wall street and
the money power to 60 deeply into
their pockets for the purpose of
raising corruption fund to be used
in influencing elections in the South.
The Times declares that the pub
lication in The Financial Chronicle
is ''ill-advised;" that it will 'be mis-
interpreted and resented in the
South" We do not see how it is
possible for any human being who
can read English to "misinterpret"
the statements of The Financial
Chronicle.
"We cannot vote there" says that
enthusiastic organ, referring to the
south, "but aUe cam send money!
How can this declaration be misin-
terpreted? 'This action is made the
more Imperative because there is a
lack of capital IN the south." How is
it possible to misinterpret this? The
southern people are poor and there
fore they can be bought. Is not that
the plain statement of The Financial
Chronicle, which is the most respect
able and conservative organ Of Wall
street and the money power to be
found in this country?
We understand, of course, that
recent events have somewhat shocked
the views of those who have believed
that the southern people stood for
honesty in politics. Men who have
been supposed to voice the public
opinion of the south have been
caught in the act of changing their
convictions for the sake of Office; the
most paltry position in the civil SER
vice large enough to cause those
who hold it or seek it to advocate
doctrines made Infamous by the Re-
publicans. These things have no
doubt caused such men as the editor
of The New York Financial Chroni-
Gle to believe that the people of the
south are in the market, and that all
that is necessary is for the shylock
class which controls the money of
the country to raise fund sufficient
ly large to purchase majority of the
voters and induce them to sell out
their party and their party princi'
| n1es.

The hatred of the Democratic
masses for General Ransom is not an
unreasoning one. They regard him
as untrustworthy, for the following
among other reasons:
l. He voted for the unconditional

2. He voted against the first reso-

3. He voted to confirm the Mug

4. He voted to confirm the Bolter,

5. He voted to confirm the officer

6. He solemnly promised the vo

on the stump in 1894 that as soon as

made equal with gold under the law,
and yet he voted against the only

Recently Senator Hill, Of New
York, critised a speech of the notori-
GUS John Sherman, whereupon the
only John comes back at the New
Yorker in an interview which ex-
plains the point of dispute. Senator
Sherman said:
"Mr. Hill only displays his ignor-
ance when he says that our silver
money and all other forms of money
are not receivable in England at the
value we put upon it, because we re-
ceive it, and they can send it back on
the steamer at trifling cost and can
use it in payment instead of gold
They can present silver certificates
and we receive them the same az
gold in payment Of duties and other
wise. If We refuse to receive them
on q parity with all other money, we
would at once be on the standard OF
