SHOWING nER HAND.

The conservative element of
the free silver Bryan forces,
while perfectly satisfied that
rnsubsidised and urintimidated
the American people would
elect Bryan president by the
largest majority ever received
by any man in this country,
have yet been afraid that the
great employers OF labor would
tacitly let it become understood
among their dependent EN-.
ployees that if they dared assert
their rights and their manhood
by voting in accord with their
interest and their conscience
for Bryan, that their places
would be filed with other men
and they turned out with theiI
wives and children to starve.

BUTLER ON THE SITUATION.

Senator Butler is satisfied with
the general outlook of the politi-
cal situation and thinks Bryan
will be elected without doubt.
A special from Washington, d.
c., which was published in the
papers yesterday morning says
that Mr.. Butler said he was salts
fed With the result of the meeting
Of the populist executive commit
tee at Chicago.
He then said that "there are
only four states in which fusion
has not been arranged-Georgia
Florida, North Carolina and Ten
nessee. An adjustment will be
reached in Florida and Tennessee
without doubt. So far as Georgia
g concerned the State will go
either for Bryan and Watson or
Bryan aud Stwall. An adjust
ment in North Carolina is diff
cult because the Democrats re-
jectedseveral very interpretations
which we made. Regarding the
Middle Western States, Ohio can
be classC,! as doubtful; Indiana

VOTE FOR KITCHIN.

Recently Maj. W. A, Guthrie
of this city, said;
"Let us elect Bryan. Let us
send 20 congress from fifth dis
tr.r t w. W. Kitchin, and let us
say to Settle, you stay at home
If l believed Dalby could be
elected, | would give him my
vote. As a vote for him means
Il vote for settle, / advise all my
friends to vote for Kitchin. Don't
stultify yourselves by voting for
a free silver president, and th,n
tie his hands by voting for a
gold bug congressman" The
News and Observer yesterday said
that 'fhe news is that the advice
Of Maj. Guthrie will be taken and
that The populists will vote for
Kitchin, and not for Dalby who
is running in the interest of the
gold candidate. In six out of the
nine counties, the populist voters
IN their county conventions re-
solved to support Kitchin, and in
the other three it IS known that
most of them will support him.
In so doing they are taking the
advice of their candidate for gov
ernor and for congress in the
fourth district"

In July Of this year, each of the
92 banks IN North Carolina, un-
der statute requiring them to
do SO, reported the amonnt and
kinds Of currency they had, un.
der osth, and the aggregate amount
of gold given in by all the banks
in the state was less than 81, 900,
not enough to run Dukes factory
a single day. Tell the fact gen.
tlemen or quit.
And how about a protective
tariff, who does it protect? The
answer is the manufacturer and
monopolist at the expense of both
the. government and the laboring
masses. AS evidence of this it is
an indisputable fact that. the pro-
duct of American manufactures
are sold at retail in European
markets at less than our mer-
chants can buy them. from the
manufacturer by the car load and
for spot cash, so that this "Ero-
lection" is simply license to ex-
tort upon home people while SELL
ing to foreigners at a legitimate
profit. If the government made
any increased revenue by it, there
might be some apology for the
injustice, but it does not-the Gus
tom duties aggresating more on
a low than high tariff, and the
balance of trade in our favor being
larger under the Wilson than
under the Mckinley bill. Cogi-
tate on these things before you
take another step to hasten your
perpetual bondage.

will do so in the teeth of the
moral teaching of his church."

neither dares face a fair discus
sion, should be exposed. And
especially should all self respect

double faced Mckinley adjuncts
who are now posing as grim hu-
morist by claim that they are "for
sound money and for principle"
My Godl Who ever heard before
of a silver dollars being "un-
sound" or principle" in a
"machine" politician? =? Both prop
nsitions are so preposterious they
can only be regarded as huge
jokes and but for the fact that the
masses may be deceived by them,
are unworthy Of serious thought.
When they tell you that a sill
yer dollar with the governments
stamp on it as such, is worth only
ffty-three cents, they are either
idiots Or wilful disseminators of a
falsehood. When they tell you the
free coinage Of silver would make
he mine owner rich to the Getri,
ment Of the country, mark it false
hood number two. When hey say
that a high tariff protects the
masses of this country. well-it is
mistake third.
Now, as to first proposition; the
government buys its bullion at the
market price Of the world, and the
miner is paid for it in silver GER
tilicates, redeemable only in 81
yer; therefore, if the government
can get it for 53 cents, and by put
ting its stamp upon it, make a
dollar, the government makes the
AZ cents, and not the mine owher.
"A wayfaring man though a fool

on the mo- 2 airy question in
this country and il should be
studied carefully by every
American citizen before casting
his ballot for Mckinley and
goldbugism. The article is as
follows:
"There is a plain moral in the
remark that if the United States
would venture TO cut herself
adrift from Europe and take
outright to silver she would
have America and Asia at her
back, and would command the
markets Of both continents. The
barrier Of gold would be more
fatal than Any barrier OF a Gus
tom house. The bond Of silver
would be stronger than any
bond Of free trade.
"There can be no doubt about
il that if the United States were
to adoI a silver basis tomorr, Y.
British .rade would be ruined
before the year was out. Every
American industry would be
protected, not only at home, but
at every other market. Of
course the States would suffer
TO 6 certain extea, through
having 10 pay their obligations
abroad in gold; but the loss on
exchange under this head wou'"
be a mere drop IN the bucket
compared with the profits to be
reaped from the markets Of
South america and Asia. 10 say
nothing OF Europe.
The marvel is that the Unit
ed States has not long ago
seized the opportunity, and but
for the belief that the way of
England is necessarily the way
to commercial success and pros.
perity, undoubtedly il would
have been done long agC. Now,
Americans are awakening to the
fact mat 30 long a theS mar
row .neir ambition to becoming
a larger England they cannot
beat us. Ii has been piece of
luck that il has never occurred
to the Americans 20 scoop Us out
Of the worl1', markets by go-
ing on a s.',er basis. and i
might serve us right If, irritated
by the contemptuous apathy Of
our government to tie gravity
Of the silver problem, the Amer.
leans retaliate by freezing out
gold. Il could easily be done. "
