ALL HAVE NOT BOWED THE KNEE


Those Republican and Populist poll
ticians who think that, because half
dozen manipulating candidates of
each party got together in Raleigh last
week. and traded off the Popuhst par
tv to gold bugs, the honest silver men
in the party are going to carry out the
deal are destined to meet with rude
awakening. One of the most promin-
ent Populists in the State, and one who
was in Raleigh when the deal was
made, admitted yesterday that it could
not be carried cut. He said that pro-
tests were coming in from all sections
of the State, and that instead of ''pre-
serving the existence of the party"
the deal will destroy the party and
make it stencil in the nostrils of all
silver men if persisted in.
The open letter to Chairman Aver
from Geo. w. Justice, secretary of the
Populist Executive Committee, in the
Ninth district, declaring that "the
Populists in this part of the State are
too patriotic to allow their franchise to
be bartered off, and that they viii not
be bound by such an infamous trade"
and that 'they viii not vote for Pear
son or any other politician of his
stripe who is advocating the election
of a gold bug for the Presidency" is
finding response in every true Popu-
lists heart. The dickerers may dick
er. but there are some who viii not
fall down and worship the golden calf
which the Populist and Republican
candidates have set up. As proof of
this, seventeen of the thirty-siX Pop
ulists in a caucus in Caldwell cl7ln-
ty bolted when a proposition to fuse
with the Republicans was agreed up
on. There have been similar bolts in
Richmond, Alamance, Halifax and
other counties. The conventions are
must often composed of politicians. 1t
was the people at home who gave the
great strength to the Populist party
because they believed it the BEST
WAY TO GET SILVER. When the
same people learn that their leaders
are scheming to send gold bug to the
Senate and four gold bugs to Con-
gress from North Carolina, the traders
will hear something drop on election
day.

PREACHERS AND FREE SILVER.

There are very few preachers for
gold. Those who are for the yellow
metal make great noise like Bishop
Newman and Tom Dixon. Silver men
like Bishop Keener, who is as well
posted and as strong silver man as
Teller, do not go into the press, or
carry it into their pulpits. DIR. j. B..
Hawthorne, the distinguished Baptist
divine, is an ardent silver man, and
gives it as his belief that Bryan will
sweep the country" The Lynchburg
News quotes Rev. DR.. Guerrant, of
Kentucky, who conducted great re-
vival recently in the Lynchburg Pres
byterian church, as writing to friend
in Danville;
''This state IS aroused as never be-
fore and will give Bryan 10000 major
ity. The rapacity of the goldites is
intolerable. It will cause their over
throw. Like Hannah they have erected
their own gallows."

WHY WORKLNGtMEN ARE FOR Sill
YER.

The Knights of Labor of New Yorl
city passed resolutions declaring TO
Bryan and free silver which go to tn
root of the silver question. These tw'
paragraphs ought to be read CAREFUL.
and put aside:
"Resolved, That in our Judgment
the appreciation of gold money is
injurious to the cause of labor
and that the permanent demone-
tization of silver in this country
will involve national disaster and
enslavement of labor to capital.
"Resolved, That in our judgment
falling prices, which are conse-
quent upon the adoption of the
single gold standard of value, are
incompatible with the develop
ment of industry and necessarily
involve a reduction in the wages
of labor, while, at the same time,
curtailing the demand for labor it.

TIRED OF BEING BOSSED BY A
NEGRO.

A special from Fayetteville to the
Wilmington Messenger gives these adj
ditional particulars of the Cumber-
land Republican county convention
held ON Saturday:
The iso occss and Pearce Mills dele
cations, composed of white men, and a
part of Seventy-frst township refused
to go into the convention, and it is
said did so because "they are tired of
being bossed by negro so that there
was probably not a half dozen white
men left as delegates. There is talk
of this respectable element of Repub-
leans holding another convention and
nominating a ticket. The whole pro-
ceedings were the result of the worst
machine manipulation ever exhibit
ed. For two weeks the reports has
been that Boss Waddell had selected
the nominees. Old line Republicans
were completely ignored"

NOT A WORD TO SAY.

the agreement to send four gold bugs
to Congress, put a gold railroad attor-
ney in as Attorney General, and pack
the Supreme court with gold bug Re
publicans The Progressive Farmer
has been denouncing fusion except up
on principles" and the dose prepar-

Some days ago it was noted that
Herr Most was an advocate of the gold
standard. 1t is now announced that
Chas. II. Matchett, the leader of the
socialist labor party is of the same
way of thinking. 1t is natural that
these men who want revolution and
not reformation should favor the con
ditions that make anarchy, socialism
and revolution. The breeding of mil
lionaires and paupers by trusts and
combines make anarchists.

A member of the National Republl-
can committee said few days ago:
81 think the time has come to state
that the labor organizations are a.
gainst us to a man. We have tried TO
teach them, but it is impossible. La
Dor Day in this city gave fair idea of
the situation. For the first time the
secret labor organizations refused to
hear our arguments"
This statement is the first express
sion heard from the Republican lead
ers. who have been worried and de-
pressed, apparently, by the homage
paid Mr.. Bryan on Labor Day.
Hon. Patrick III. Winston, of Seattle,
Wash, speaking of the situation in
that State, says:
"There are not less than 10000 free
silver Republicans in this State. De-
duct these from the Republican vote
and add them to the other vote, and we
have majority in this State over the
pold bugs of more than 10000. / am

a QUESTION OF FACT.
Two Gold Standard Papers Have struck ol
the ISrcakera

Two Gold Standard Papers Have struck on
the Breakers.
Our esteemed contemporary, the
Chattanooga Times, is having IL again
with the Washington Post. and this
time on n particular phnse of the silver
question, says the Memphis CONNER
cial Appeal. The Post is not an advo-
cate but "a stout opponent of the free
coinage OF silver. 1t refuses, how
ever, to swallow all the foolishness
and rot put forward by the blatant
ignoramuses of the gold standard press
and declares that the silver movement
is continually strengthened by the alb
surdities of the gold standard cham
pions. IL is not TO be disputed that
the inherent power of a good cause
may be increased by the weakness of
its adversaries, and In this case the
cause of bimetallism certainly owes
many thanks TO the reckless ignorance
and arrogant emptiness of it's leading
opponents. When the average gold
standard orator has acquired the abil-
fly 70 curl his nose like the tail Of n
terrier dog and can call bimetallist
popuhte In a jaclfass tone of voice
he feels that he Is fully equipped
for high debate. He Is ready then to
scott all the teachings of all the econo-
mists, all the aXioms of economic sci
ence and all the facts of history clean
off the face of the earth. This, of
course, gives the advocates of bimetal-
lism a great advantage in the discus
sion In addition to the advantage that
belongs to them of right In the just
ness of their cause.
The particular matter IN dispute be-
tween the Post and the Times con-
cerned the purchase power of silver
dollar in Mexico. The writer 10 the
Post asserted as n matter of personal
experience that he could bay as good
dinner or as good a shirt in the City of
Mexico with n Mexican dollar as he
could in New York or Washington city
with a gold dollar. lie knew this
could be done because he had actually
done IL over and over again. II is diff
cult to dispute testimony like this un-
less one can impeach the veracity OF
the witness The Times, however, un-
dertakes to impeach the correctness of
the Posts statements and draws from
the latter the following reply:
"The Chattanooga Times is always an
interesting study for the philosophers.
This time it takes it up with a loud
ha, hal the Posts assertion that the
Mexican silver dollar will purchase as
much in Mexico as the gold dollar will
purchase in the United States: And
now comes the Washington Post and
essays to prove that a silver dollar in
Mexico is worth as much as a gold dol
lar in the United States. To test the
value of the Posts Information on IL IL

OPINION or JAMES G. BLAINE.

AS there are great many al.
mirers of the late James G.. Blaine
in Tazewell county who are at pres
ent engaged in calling Democrats
"AnarchiStS,r "Populists,r and 9th.
er pet names, we publish the FOL,
lowing showing the position occu,
pied by their former idol: al believe
the struggle now going on in this
country and in other countries for
a single gold standard would, if
successful, produce widespread dis
aster in and throughout the com
merciel world. The destruction of
silver as money, and establishing
gold as the sole unit Of value, must
have ruinous effect on all forms
of property except those invest
ments which yield q fixed return
in money. Those would be enor-
mously enhanced in value and
would gain a disproportionate and
unfair advantage over every other
species of property. If, as the
most reliable statistics affirm, there
are nearly $1,000, ,O0O, 900 of coin or
bullion in the world, very equally
divided between gold and silver,
1t is impossible TO strike silver out
of existence as money without re-
suits that will prove distressing To
millions and utterly disastrous to
tens Of thousands. I believe gold
and silver coin to be the money of
the constitution; indeed, the mon
ey of the American people anterior
to the constitution, which the great
organic law recognized as quite
independent of its own existence.
No power was conferred ON congess
To declare either metal should not
be money. Congress has, there
fore, in my Judgment, no power to
dcmonctize either. If, therefore,
silver has been demonetized, ] am
in favor of remonetizing it. If its
coinage has been prohibited, | am
IN favor of ordering it te he rcSum.
ed. i am in favor of having il en-
larged."
