A POPULIST WHO STICKS TO PRIN.
CIPLE.

We have never wavered in our belief
that there are many men in the Popu-
list party who really desire the free
coinage of silver, and who will not
countenance any trade by which gold
bugs are to be put in office.
This faith is justified in the action
taken by Mr.. D. T. Moss, Populist
nominee for Congress in the Second
district, who has withdrawn and urges
the Populists to support Mr.. Woodland,
the sitting member, who is the Dem
ocratic candidate for reelection. Mr..
Woodland is a true silver man, having
voted just like Mr.. Bryan and Senator
Butler on the money question during
his entire Congressional term. Mr..
Moss sees that he has no chance of
election, and that if the Populists vote
for him the gold-bug negro White will
be elected. I'll sees that by Withdraw
ing and throwing his strength to Mr.
Woodland, it is possible to send silver
man and not gold-bug to Congress
from his district. Seeing this situation,
Mr.. Moss has the patriotism to rise
to- the occasion. This makes Mr..
Woodlands election probable unless
other Populists are so determined to
send a negro gold-bug to Congress
that they will support White.

LOOK OUT FOR THAT $4,000.

The McKinleyites have spent TWEEN
tN-fvel thousand dollars through a
special agent who has been in the
State to buy the electoral vote for Nc
Kinley This is in addition to the
large amounts sent out by registered
letter and by hand from the Raleigh
headquarters.
Hanna thinks he has bought the men
who can deliver the vote
There is no doubt about his
thinking that. The question is:
Can the fellows he has bought deliver
the goods The Republicans think they
can. The people will be sold to Nc.
Kinleyism for 900 unless they are
on the alert.

INTERNATIONAL BIMETALLIsM


In his speech at Chicago, Mr.. Bryan
showed that the real author of the fin
ancial plank in the Chicago platform
was Mr.. Kohlsaat, editor of the Chi.
cago Times-Herald. That plank says:
eve are, therefore, opposed to
the free coinage of silver except
by international agreement with
the leading commercial ma
tions of the world, which we
pledge ourselves to promote, and
until such an agreement can be
obtained the existing gold stand
ard must be preserved"
In his paper of June 8th Mr.. Kohl
saat gives his idea of what declara-
tion for international agreement
means:
every reference to an interna-
tional agreement is shifty and
futile Tt deceives nobody, be-
cause every one knows first, that
there is not the slightest POSSIBLE
ty of an international agreement
at any ratio and, secondly, that
if such an agreement were for
mally entered into, MO govern
ment could be bound to abide by
it a day longer than it's own in
dustry or commercial interests
would appear to warrant"
Commenting on the platform and
this Interpretation, Mr.. Bryan said
''There, you find in the paper
owned and edited by the man who
wrote the platform-you find
there declaration, only
ten days before, that every
reference to international agre-
ment is shifty and futile.
Tt deceives nobody, because
everyone knows, first, that
there is not he slightest possibili-
ty of n international agreement
at any ratio And yet, within
ten days after that editorial APP
pears in The Times-Herald, that
editor writes plank which
pledges the Republican party to
use every effort ito promote in
ternational bimetallism, and then
that paper reports in it's dis
patches that that is put in there
to give a ray of hope to Repub-
Leans in the West
81 want you to remember that
that phrase, pledging the Repub-
lican party to promote bimetal-
lism, was offered as a solace to
the Republicans of the West, with
no idea that the Republican par
ty would ever use any effort to
change the gold standard"
This disposes of the international
bimetallism pretense. Those who adj
vocated the gold standard are advo-
eating what will prevail if McKin-
ley wins. Those who talk bime'talhsm
and support Mckinley or Palmer are
trying TO deceive ths people.

Last spring the Caucasian denounced
Senator Pritchard as an enemy to the
people, a traitor to free coinage, and
a 'straddle-bug Since then Senator
Pritchard has declared that he is in
favor of maintaining the single gold
standard until an international agree
ment can be effected" And yet, in
view of all this, certain Populist manip-
ulators are trying to re-elect him to
the Senate. But the people will not
vote to return goldbugs, or their abet-
tors
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1896-11-01

In Duplin, as well as in Harnett, the
straight Republicans, and the Republic
cans calling themselves Populists, are
giving it out that Pritchard is in favor
of free coinage of silver. This is not
only base falsehood, but does Pritch-
ard INJURY. He is running as a Sound
money" candidate in gold centres. and
this statement, made only in the coun-
try districts, might hurt him with the
goldbugs.

"SULLEN MALCONTENTS."

We have heard a great deal during
this campaign about the action of
those who have not succeeded well
in life, as if it ought to work their
Acknowledgement. 1t has been said
and repeated thousand times that
Bryan's supporters are from the ranks
Of the disseminated, those who have
failed in business, . "those who do not
know how to get along"
While very many successful bust
ness men are supporting Bryan, the
above Indictment is true. He is receiv-
ing his main support from those who
are discontinued" those who do not
like present conditions, and desire a
change. The operatives in the facto-
ries, who have been able to get work
only half or two thirds of the time
are disseminated" They want steady
work which the gold standard denies
them. The skilled mechanics and Ia
borers are "discontented' for the same
reason, and because quarter of a mill
lion of their number can get nothing
to do Many of those who are idle
are offering to work for almost starva-
tion wages, thus bringing down the
rate of wages paid to those who have
employment, and even threa Hening
the permanence of their employment.
Those who live in enforced idleness,
while their wives and children suffer,
ought to be not only discontinued"
but ought to be, as they are, active
advocates Of a policy that will revive
business of all kinds. And yet because
these idle men, not idle from choice,
are for Mr.. Bryan, they are denounc-
ed as enemies to a stable govern
ment," regulators, and anarchists.
The farmers, too, are discontinued
because their products sell for less
than the cost of production, their
land depreciates in value, and their
sons are forced to leave the farms in
the vain hope of finding more remun-
erative employment.
Are these men, brought to discomfort
by the operations of selfish legisla-
ton, to be regarded as bad citizens
because they cry out against the laws
that impoverish them? In an inter
view with a correspondent of the Wash
ington Star, Mark Hanna, referring
to those voters who would not tell his
paid agents how they were going to
vote said:
There is an element of sullen
malcontents, who have made a fail
ure in life and are not satisfied
with their conditions. They main
tain silence"
These are the brutal words Mark
Hanna uses to characterize the Sex
ceeding honest poor men" who will
not become his tools, and help to fas-
ten the chains upon themselves and
their children.
''Sullen malcontents' indeed! They
are rather quiet good citizens, indig-
nant that Hanna and such as he are
able to make this a government of
syndicates by syndicates and for syn
dictates. They are resolved to throw
off the yoke next Tuesday, and to vote
for fair chance for themselves, and
their children. It is bad enough for
Hanna and other trust managers to rob
these people. 1t is criminal to de-
nounce them for a poverty and dis
content which Hanna and his ilk have
brought about.

BISHOP
SHOP W0RTHINGTON'S PER.
FORMANCE.

There have been many utterances
in this campaign that show that
distrust of the people and hostility to
the doctrine of equality of all men lies
underneath the virulent opposition to
Bryan. Some preachers, enjoying fat
salaries and easy positions, have been
particularly active in defense of the
extortions practised by the Hannaites
and in denunciation of those humber
members OF society who are pleading
for fair chance. Bishop Worthing-
ton rs the worst, giving expression
to sentiments unworthy of an Amer
lean citizen. He recently said:
THE trouble with the farmer. in
my Judgment, is that we have carri-
ed our free educational system en-
tirely too far. OF course, I know
that this view will be considered as
bit Of heresy, but still L believe it.
"The farmers sons-a great MANY
of them-who have absolutely no abil-
ity to rise, get a taste of education
and follow it up. They will never
amount to anything that is. MANY
of them-and they become dissatisfied
to follow in the walk of life that God
intended they should and drift into
the cities. 1t is the over education of
those who are not qualified to receive
it that fills our cities, while the farms
lie idle.
Then the girls, instead of re-
naming at the farm AMI learning to
churn and milk and fitting themselves
to become good housewives and rear
family, as God intended they should.
get smattering of French, learn to
play the pianO-no particular genius
for music, but they learn to plav-
drift to the cities and go into the
millinery and other stores"
Replylng to this Federalistfc utter
ance, Mr.. Bryan spoke with great mod
GRAFTON saying:
L hope that it may prove that these
words were not uttered bv Bfsbon
Worthington, because [ hate to think
that any man who has the love of God
IN his heart ever used words like these
that | have read.
TO talk of the over-education Of
our farmers sons and to attribute the
difficulties which surround us TODAY
to-over-education is, i'm my mind. one
OF the most cruel things that a man
ever uttered. My friends, do You know
what that language mean? 1t means
a reversal of the proofs of civilization
and a march toward the dark ages
again
Are we to select a commission to oo
around and pick out the ones that are
to be educated? All, my friends. there
IS another reason why the people have
gone into the cities and left the farms
1t is because your legislation has been
causing the foreclosure of mortgages
on the farmers and the farms ri "a
because the producing classes have,
been framing the laws and making "a
more profitable to gamble i'm the farm
products than it is to produce them"
We publish to-day a well-timed, omen
letter to this and other political bish-
ops from a senior warden, in their
church, DR.. L. w. Pug'h, who has a
right to speak in criticism of their
action. We also print on the first

FOOL TALK ABOUT SCRATCHING
ELECTORS.


Those who are in favor of Mckinley
for President, but are ostensibly sup
porting Mr.. Bryan find a great
many mares nests these days. If the
dfscoyerer is a Democrat he finds that
the Populists are going to scratch the
Democratic electors, "and by way of
retaliation, the Democrats are going
TO scratch the Populists" If the dis
coyerer happens to be a Populist he
finds that the Democrats are going to
scratch the Populist electors, land by
way of retaliation, the Populists are
going to scratch THE Democrats
No man who really believes in free
coinage and wants Mr.. Bryan elected
Will scratch a single elector of the
eleven. 1T does not make any differ
ence what others do. The true friends
of silver and Bryan of all parties will
vote their convictions, and nobody will
be influenced by any silly notions of
retaliation"
There is no doubt that a few gold
bugs, calling themselves Democrats,
will scratch the Populist electors, but
there will not be 200 of them in the
whole State. We have received carefully
gotten up reports form every county
in the State, and know that these fig
ures are not far from correct. As to
the Popuhsts, we cannot speak so accu-
rately, but our information is that, ex-
cept few Republicans, like Kestler.
who are masquerading as Populists
very few Populists will scratch the
ticket Indeed, in most counties. they
will earnestly and enthusiastically
work for it, supporting the eleven cleo
tors without asking whether they are
Democrats, Populists or Silver party
men. The only danger we apprehend
is that Mark Hanna's money has been
used to buy the ticket distributors.
and they may deceive the voters by
palming off a gold ticket on them,

County Prisons in Massachusetts.

From tie Boston Transcript.
There are twenty-one county prisons in
the state, with more than 1900 inmates.
They are under the control of the boards
of county commissioners Of the several
counties, and there is no uniformity in
management. The Massachusetts Prison
Association has presented TO She leg!5'a-
ture plan for state control of the county
prisons. The bill leaves the present officers
in power, but puts the control in the hands
of the board of prison commissioners, ard
relieves the counties Of all financial
sPoHSibility. the state paying all The OK
penscs. The greatest advantage claimed
for this system is that il makes ii possible
to classify the prisoners. Lack of classifi-
cation is one Of the SraVest evils of the
present system Every county prison has
prisoners of all grades, ages and charac-
tiers. In a recent visit to one of the county
prisons, four boys were found I'm direct con-
tact with hardened and degrl led Criminals.
There is no way of separating them as the
institutions are now managed, for there
are not enough of this class in any insti-
tuition to put them by themselves.
