A prominent Kansan, we'll posted on
political conditions, has the following
to say in regard to the work OF the
next congress
my prediction is that the next con-
gress will be the most corrupt and pro
fiigate that we have had since the
Credit Mobiler steals. Cleveland will
recommend the issuing Of $500 yOOO, 900
of bonds to retire the $S46. 600 600 Of
greenbacks and the $l5O,OOO,OOO Of
treasury notes. The Pacific railroad
will engineer the scheme to defraud
the government out of its debts. The
manufacturers will be on hand to re-
store the tariff in their special interest,
and the banks to get complete control
of the issuing of money. II the issu-
ing of $62, 100000 of bonds furnish $S,-
OOO, 900 of a steal, how much will $780,
OOO. 600 furnish? The money power,
the banks, the special tariff, corpora
tions and the Pacific railroad interests
can furnish a Doodle fund of 500 O,OOO,- :
600 to carry out their schemes. In ad-
dition to this, there will be another
powerful lobby to obtain more ship
contracts, subsidies, etc., and increased
compe ensatiOn for carrying mails. Be
sides. there is hardly corrupt old salt

AN OPEN LETTER

In Which tho Past Good Record Of
Capt" Jarvis 10 Referred To-And II.
Which He is Asked Some Questions.
STovALL, N. c., Nov. 9, 1895.
Capt. T. J Jarvis:
DEAR SIR.-As we were comrades
of the late war, 1 take the liberty Of
writing you q few words in regard
to our connection with it, and also
more fully to get your status on the
present financial question. Ny in
innate and long acquaintance with
you warrants me in saying, that you
were br.ve,ltrue and gallant soldier
and always obeyed orders promptly.
Now that our country is passing
through another war, financially, l
had hoped that Capt. Jarvis would
again take tho same patriotic stand
IN opposing our common enemy-t the
money power. And whom the recent
non-partisan silver convention was
called to meet in Raleigh and signed
by Jarvis and others, I rsjoieed to
see that you had enlisted again 1os
THE War. But alas! when tho esm-
mand, WAS given to form . limo for
action, some one whispered. the ar-
tillery is charged with gold, gold
British gold-you first hssitstsd, then
halted and beat q hssty retreat.
Capt, you say that you want free
silver, but it must como through the
Democratic party. This il very
much like tho Dutchman Who would
not have religion unless he could
got it at a HARD SHELL BAPTIST
REVIVAL"
Now, tell u Captain, whom the
Democrats nominate . goldbug fsl
President, and the Republicans dc
the same, and when the Populis,
nominate q true silver man, pray
tell us in which corner Of the "woods'
will you be foundi AN honest con.
fession is good for the SOUL" CAM
you repent, and place patriotism
above party and join such men a.

Do They Think The Voters Are Fools?
For The Caucasian.
I RUTHERFORD, N. c., Nov. o.
Your paper is received in our county
and read by all. The voters are look
ing at the past promises Of tho two
old parties which have not been
kept, and wonder at tho cheek of
the old gangs in wanting another
chance" Some Democrats say
they are for free silver within party
lines. Do they think the voters are
foolsi Have not the Democrats re-
Gently finished a long session Of
Congress with . Democratic Presi-
dent and cabinet! They killed sill
yer. They involved this nation in a
debt which our grand children will
not live to SEQ paid. They brought
upon us a panic, the effects of which
was worse than the civil war. Peo-
pie have gone almost naked and
nearly starved. Our property has
been deprecated in value and is be-
ing sold for taxes. Good farming
land is going at one dollar per acre.
We cannot pay our debts, and all
this was caused by Democrats when
they wore in control of the affairs of
the country. Can We live long and
be free people under such an admin
lstration as thisi Will We continue
to stand it, No! There will be re-
pudlation or revolution if an attempt
is made to continue this state of af-
fairs. People will not be. made slaves
We are too proud for that-proud Of
country, our homes, wives and chill
dren.
will just say that old Rutherford
county is for free coinage of silver
1T the ratio Of 16 to l. We are going
to "get there Eli" and not within
old party lines either. The old party
is dead! dead!! dead!!!
