THE POLK MONUMENT.

To ALLIANCEMEN AND FRIENDS OF
Cor. Polk:
The Polk monument Is hardly
half finished and the money we have
collected has all been spent. We
must not let the work stop here.
The monument must be finished.
Some Alliances have not contributed
anything. They should do so. But
at any rate let every Alliance and
individual that has contributed send
in another contribution of equal
amount and this will raise sufficient
money to complete the monument.
This monument should be finished
without delay. We hope to have
the unyeiling ceremonies sometime
next spring or summer.
Let every friend of Col. Polk 90

contribution as possible.
The amounts and the names of
those who contribute will be pub
lished in The CAUCASIAN as for

Certainly our readers must under
stand what the consequences Of the
single gold standard and the policy OF
Cleveland will result in. It has been
made plain that this means more
bonds on which the people must pay
interest to the money power; it means
that all the money of the country
shall be issued by banks, and when
the banks get this power they will
gain the power of issuing as much or
as little money as they pleased. With
either Democrats or Republicans in
full power, this Is a Gerry probable pos
sibility. Do you know what this
meansi
Suppose a thousand men had all
the money there is. Then suppose a
man wanted ten dollars. These
thousand men could get together and
say that the man should not have the
ten dollars unless he would do a
years work for it, or unless he would
pay ten dollars for the use of it
year.
This is just what the banks are try
ing to do. There are about 1000 of
them now. They want the power to
issue all the money. Suppose they
get that power. Don't you see they
could get together and say: eff we
put out too much money it will be
easy to get and we cannot make the
people give much work or much pro-
duce for it. But If we put out little
and then if the people want it We
can make them give two or three
days work, or twenty-five pounds of
cotton, or twenty pounds of tobacco,
or five bushels of corn, or just what
We please for dollar. We can make
the people pay heavy inter est if they
want to borrow. In fact, we can
make it so that everybody will be
working for us and making what we
want all the time. They will want
money and We can make them do
almost what We please for the money.
This is the plan. Do you see it: It
is the plan Grover Cleveland is try
ing to help the banks put into oper-
alton. This is the plan the clubs
above named are working for, to say
nothing of many more clubs which
are doing the same thing. One club
alone openly says that it has spent
SAG, 900 in sending out pamphlets and
papers to convince the people that
this is a good plan. We have else
where referred to a pamphlet writ
ten by "Merchant'' in this State.
This pamphlet favors this plan, and
because it was written to a State pa
per, the goldbug clubs up north think
it will have influence in North Car
DINA and they are sending it all over
the State from New York free.
Now this is what the goldbugs are
doing. What are the people doingi
Do they expect to win a fight by set
ting still while the other side is

who has to work we want to warn

The account of the burning
of . negro in Texas, printed
elsewhere, is awful. We have no
mercy for criminals of that class to
which the negro belonged, but in the
name OF God and justice let justice be
properly meted out. If the course of
procedure OF the courts were what it
should be, such revolving and horrible
executions as this would never occur.
Among the things which need a thor.
ough renovating and reformation the
courts are not the least. The yerv
essence of freedom and the sacredness
OF personal liberty and safety demand
that something be done to put an
effectual stop to lynch law and mob
rule. The only remedy is for the courts
to do their duty promptly.

AsHAME OF STATE DEMOCRATIC AID
MlNISTRATION.


MlNIsTRATION.
We recently expressed our belief
in the determination of the people of
North Carolina to combine, whenever
it may be necessary, to keep the
Democratic organization of this State
under the ban of public condemna-
ton. The people already have suffi-
cient reasons for pursuing this
course, but it may be interesting,
now and then, to note some of the
shortcomings and failures of the
Democratic (machlne) party and thus
establish the general chara cter, or
rather cant of character of that Or
ganization.
The so-called Democratic party
had control of the administration of
State affairs from 1876 to 1895. An
analysis of it's record will prove to
anybody that, as party which
sought to foster the general interests
OF the commonwealth, it was an
ahominable failure and a damnable
fraud. This could be shown in more
instances than one, but for present
purposes we will take the matter of
public schools and public education.
We do not intend to go into a dis
cussion Of the value of a liberal edu-
cational policy, for we take it for
granted that this is something which
is recognized as indispensable to
good citizenship. We shall simply
illustrate how Democracy" dealt
with this matter. and thereby show
that this organization, in assuming
the name Democratic, lied; for it
proved to be more autocratic, aristo-
cratic and bureaucratic than any
thing else. 1t seems that it never
found any difficulty in managing to
spend the public fund in junketing
trips, renting pianos, buying silk
oline, conducting big funerals and
the like, but it never met the require
ments of the constitution in the mat

Will he be a Cleveland goldbug or

The niightiest struggle the world
has ever seen between the people
and organized greed will be waged.
The Issues at stake involve the
future prosperity Of our people and
the preservation of our government
The election next year will deter
mine who will manage our affairs
in the nation, and in every State
and county in the United States.
IL is square fight between the
people on the one side and the gold

You know which side THE CAUCA-

where it has always stood-on the
side of the Constitution, on the side
that Jefferson and Jackson stood
on-on the side of the people.
Tremendous issues are at stake
