The old and New Policies,

1t does not require reference to
political platforms to show that the
country has been in tad condition
for the last three or four years. IT is
fact known to every business man
and to every wOrkingman in the
United States. The National Treas
ury has baen almost bankrupt; the
public revenues have been insu fficient
TO meet the yearly expenditures: con.
fdence has been destroyed, enter
prise has stopped, every kind of
trade has been depressed, ed labor
has suffered.
To what do we owe these misfor
tunes7 We have had no devastating
war. The heavy hand of pestilence
has not been on US. There has been
no crop famine to afliict us. On the
contrary, we have been at peace. the
public health has been good and
Providence has favored us with boun
tiful crops. The fault must be with
those who have shaped and control
led our National policy. Incapacity.
recklessness or corruption on the
part of our rulers must huve brought
the country to its present condition.
The Republicans have been in
power with the exception OF seven
years and half of Cleveland Dem
ocracy. TIE Democrats hold the

publicans lay all the blame at the
doors of the Cleveland Administra.

An Able Crank.

Jno. Sherman said in the Senate
some years ago:
TO adopt the gold standard alone
and demopetize silver would be to
deprive the poor people of the
world OF money which alone meas
ures the value of their productions,
and their labor"
again:
Gold alone is not suitable for a
currency, because it will not measure
the daily wants of the great mass of
mankind"
Still more:
THE utter ruin that would come
to mankind, especially to the poorer
nations. by the entire demonstration
of silver cannot be estimated by us.
Take one half of the sound money
OF the world out of existence, take
the sole standard of more than two
thirds of the human race, reduce it
to a base metal, and the effect upon
the commerce of the world would be
incalculable. 1t cannot be done; il
will not bedone. There is no dan.
ger of it. These two metals, gold
aud silver, have travelled side by side
from the beginning of time; the rec
ords of history do not 60 back be

ANOTHER FACT SETTLED.
Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
SAIL BURY, N. @.
By the action of the Republican
Committee in refusing to endorse the
proposition offered by the Populist
Committee we have the fact established
that there are men in the Republican
party in North Carolina who follow
the dictations Of both the old parties
North, who are in favor Of the single
gold standard, or who love their old
party name better than they love the
liberty and independence that was
bought for us by the blood of u fore
fathers. l am glad that our Commit
tee did not consent to vote for a gold
bug of any midland that they have
taken a stand for principle and liberty
or death.
In the coming election there will be
but two distinct parties on the main is
sue; one for the single gold standard,
lees money and harder times with la
loring people; the other will be for free
silver, more money and better times
for those who earn their bread by the
sweat of their faces. Therefore the
fight is no longer between the DINO
Gratis and Republicans, they are one
and the same on this great question.
To vote either one of the old party
tickets for President is to vote for the
single gold standard.
This is a fact beyond contradiction
and the history Of the two old parties
for twenty three years confirms this
statement. Now fellow either S. you
have life OF death before you, choose
you this day which you will take. Y4u
may vote for the man that is nomi
mated by the Democrats or by the Re,
publicans and think you are voting for
tariff Or against it, but that is no Ion
ger the question. The question is more
money Or less money, and the
only way to get more money is
through the Currency Reform
er8 outside Of the old parties und
Independent Of Uh0t other nations sag
about it. Every thinking man can see
how the question stands and upon this
Currency Reform every loyal citizen
of these United States of every name
can unite, and by such a combined eff
fort we can bring glorious times to our
native country again. This will give
us more money, and better times r
sure to follow. Ho every n that
thirsts for these good times, come and
take part with these Currency Reform
ers and the victory is ours.

FROM CABARRus COUNTY.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
Please find enclosed an order for 81 Is
in part payment for my paper. Do not
stop it, for it is standard bearer.
MI. E1itor, I read about fusion one
way and another. People are differing
in opinions. My advice is, go slow.
| Remember, it is the rank and file of
the people who are the strength of any
party and the Pops to day are the best
informed people in politics. I acknowl-
edge leaders and %superiors and vel
| come the gocd will of all, but when the
leaders d fer in their views and opin-
ions, and each one takes his followers
into camp and divides us into different
divisions, our captains disputlng over
the Offices and principles involved.
Some are in great haste, others too
slow. Stop right here, shut one eye,
think hard. Who is the disturber of
peace2 who commenced the fuss! Find
them out and do just like you would
your own children in q row. Find out
the cause, who started it, and who is
to blame, then you can pass your judg-
ment.
Mr.. E1itor, another thing we must
take into consider ton. We are just
as liable to have political tricksters in
the Peoples party as any other party,
l am in favor of working a horse under
the saddle before putting him in the
lead. 1t is not fair to put strangers
into prominence.
Brethren. think for a moment. Who
protected reform in it's infancy2 Who
nursed it in it's weakness? Who pro
vided for the child Of reform2 Who
gave his care, his time and money to
rear it9 Who walked or rode miles in
sunshine or snow with baskets full Of
ham, beef, chickens, pie, bread and
pure water to feed the child of reform2
The child of their hopes, the pride of
their ambition; these are the patriots
of this fair land. They are the people
you can trust to watch w our vel
fare. They r honest, sincere and
brave in their convictions.
Brethren, don't let the Cfice seekers
us. If special privileges to NJ ne,
equal rights to all, in the middle of the
road, has been preached to us by our
l~ieutenants, colonies and generals, re-
on this line until we undsrstard
each other North, South, East and
West. Why should any man ignore the
principles Of his past doctrine unless he
can give a satisfactory explanationG 1t
is better to do no good than to do more
than good. Keep cool, think be
fore you speak, watch the man who is
restless, grumbling about other people.
divided we fall. Organize rs of |
the Alliance taught US I'm union there
is strength" We found it so. Let us
stand together, go into the conventions,
do our duty, pick out rue and tried
men-men who have stood the test, to
represent US.
II men who are in haste call a con
vention in advance Of the proper time
the majority are ready-go in
convention with them, pick out your !
best men. We, the bone and sinew of
the reform movement, are going to
have something to do with the Peoples
party. Just keep cool, boys; be sure
you are right, then put your shoulder
to the wheel.
Yours for justice,
