The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1896-01-23

taught and praeticed by Thomas
Jefferson and Andrew Jackson,
North Carolina will not be satisfied,
aud her solemn protests will con

The Senator from New York says |

challenge him TO show that the
course OF the national Democratic
party is according 10 those prlnci-
pies. His own record is the opposite
OF true Democracy. The Peoples
Party is the only party IN this coun
try today which represents those
great principles OF justice and good
government. The people recognize
this, and therefore the Peoples
Party is daily receiving accesslons
by the thousands from both of the
Old monopoly y-riddeh, British gold
parties. The Peoples Party stands
for the principles of true Republi-
caHism as put for ward by Abraham
Lincoln and for true Democracy as
enunciated by our forefathers. On
those great questions we stand, and
adherents Of both the old parties are
coming 10 rs because they believe
their parties have deserted those
principles.
The peopl" have begun TO recog
nize the difference between party
principles and a party name. They
refuse to desert thelr principles to
follow name. They will not follow
an agent of the gold combine though
he hoists the dear old party banner.
Therefore they are repudiating the
two old traltOrous parties and flock
ing under the banner of the Peoples
Party, whore they can worship the
true god of heir fathers.
Mr.. HILL. We still come back to
the question as to what North Car
olina wants, q high tariff or a low
tariff, a protective tariff or tariff
reform MEASURE. Upon that ques-
ton each of the Senators from that
State claim! to represent the State
fairly and impartially, and each
makes incot ts5tent claims.
Mr.. BUTTER. In answer to the
, question as TO what North Carolina
5 wants, | will state that she wants a
just system of taxation; she wants
more money, every dollar full le-
V gal tender dolltr standing on its own
= bottom, not tooe redeemed in gold
r dollars, and CROUCH of them to main
4 tain the stability of prices. If you
will give us that, the people of North
: Carolina can Jay the Mckinley tariff
e or the highesttaritf ever passed cas-
+, ier tn an they tan pay 10 per cent.
!, tariff under tie gold standard. North
t Carolina alsG wants an income tax
t that will IN. ke the wealth of tho
0 country pay its Just proportion OF
the taxes of tie country. She wants
: stop put to these Infamous
h bond issue; she is opposed to
increasing txes and piling up an
, interest-beaing debt IN times OF
N peace; she would rather cut down
if expenses tan increase taxes: she
a. would rathr pay debts than pile
te them up. That is what she wants

D. Mr.. Hill. 1t is very plain Laugh
Lk ter f, and lis very plain further tha
le that Nortl Carolina is not going t.
le get what ae wants, either from the
Nv present Cngress or from any othel
ty Congress or great many years t.
r. come. Tie Republican party is not
I'd going to lrrender to any such de
as mands those which come from
ty North Crolina. The Democrat,
