NEW York, May 1 1896.

NEW YORK, May I 1896.
Hon. VIM. n. SteUGrt, Editor SiLOer
Knight Waterman:
DEAR SENATOR:-I have read your
remarks on the effect of free coinage
as printed in the Congressional Record
of April 90, and they are very interest
ing. l am, as I think, a staunch and
true friend of silver, but I cannot I'M
derstand why the owner Of silver bull
lion should be permitted at this time
to take 81 cents worth Of silver to the
United States mint and receive a coined
silver dollar worth 100 cents aud a full
legal tender without any consideration
on his part.
I can understand unlimited coinage
with seigniorage going to the common
treasury until time and circumstances
should bring the commercial value Of
bullion up to a par with the coinage.
I should like a few lines from you on
this point, or what might be better l
could wishyou would in the earfuture
make soma remarks in the Senate 80
that all the readers of the Record could
have the advantage.
Yours truly, J. c. REIFF.

William Dixon died On June 4th, 1896,
aged 76 years,
The subject Of this sketch was born
on one of the tributaries Of Goose Greek,
in the county Of Craven (low Pamiico)
under very humble and uHfavorabie
circumstances. With little advantages
of an education, he had to rely wholly
upon muscular effort for q livelihood.
But being Of an industrious and me-
chanical urn of mind, he was able to
acquire that independence of character
which help to make true manhood. He
was married in early manhood to his
neighbours daughter, a Miss Scott, q
true type OF the Southern girl. She
lived only a few moments walk from
the old homestead. They reared eight
children, the mother and seven of
which still survive.
He was a true Union man, and allied
himself with the r publican party, but
realizing the corruption and the clan
destine courtehip and marriage Of it
and the Democratic party, he heartily
embraced the Peoples par5y as the
only salvation of the country. And
WHEREAS, 1t hath pleased Almighty
God in His infinite wisdom, to take
him from cur midst, we deeply regret
his loss, and hereby desire to tender
our deepest sympathy to his family.
We would say to them to sorrow not
as those that have nc hope.
WHEREAS, Toe Alliance has lost a
faithful member, the church g JEALOUS
devotee, and the county a loved citi-
zen, let us humbly submit to the will
of him who doeth all things well.
We believe that brother Dixon will
still be with us in spirit. He was an
earnest reformer, an tftctionate hus
band, a kind father, a good neighbor,
and last but not least, a Christian gen
tleman. We have yet to hear of his
honesty Or truthfulness being cues
toned. He never spoke in public, but
took a deep interest in questions of i'm,
pOrtance. We believe his immortal
part will progress onward and upward
to that land beyond, where the weary
will be forever at rest, and where the
goldbugs will have ceased to Cypress

"HOLD FAST THAT WHICH is
GOOD"

The silver movement to day Is d
work of independent patriotic men,
who have repudiated the two old par
ties and placed country before blind
devotion to party name. 1t 1T had not
been for the Populist organization in the
South, is it certain that the Democracy
of that section would not have moved
for the restoration of silver9 May not
the fact be that IN every State IN the
South the free silver movement IN h
Populist party, which endangered
Democratic control, has compelled
Democrats to seiz3 upon that issue to
retain power? Would there have been
n silver movement in the West in
either the Democratic or Republican
party if it had Go5 been for the determ-
ination Of the people, irrespective o.
party, to restore the money OF the Con
stitution? The equivoCal platforms Of
the two old parties for the last twenty
years are conclusive evidence that all
concessions made by them were to pre-
VENT the organization of Independence
yer forces in the West and South. Is not
the discussion now going on in the gold
forces of the United States how to con
struct language which will prevent Re
publicans Of the West leaving their
party conclusive evidence that the sill
YER movement comes from independ
ent action of patriotic cit Z ms in both
parties. The Populist party has been
gaining ground because it was for the
money of the Constitution and against
banks of issue, against loading the
nation with debt in time of peace,
against monopolies and trusts, and IN
favor of the people. The old parties
could not crush it. They now propose
to either steal or evade the issues which
the Populist party has made. 1t is we'll
known that victory for the people can
not be obtained for the people until
there is g union of all who are opposed
to the English gold standard. But how
can that union be effected7 Certainly
not by the disarmament Of the POpu-
lists and other independent organiza
tions, who stand for the money Of the
Constitution. Suppose the POpulists
and the silver men and all other lovers
of liberty and fair play should vote for
q Democratic candidate on a free coin
age platform and he should be defeated
by the cohorts of the gold monopoly
under the sham leader from Ohio, VIM,
Mckinley, where would the cause Of
silver then be? 1t has taken years to
build up opposition to the old parties
in the interests of the people. Shall
the orgeniz 2tions which have risen and
which are necessary to the cause be
a~5andoned2 No, never. The Peoples
party grew out of the necessity created
by the shortcomings Of the two ola
parties, and it must maintain its Or
g~an:zltion until its mission Is accornp-
lisbed aud the government of this
country restored to the people for
whom it was ordained Silver knight

KING MAMMON AND THE HEIR
APPARENT.
BY GEORGE A RICHARDSON.

This is a very ably written treatlse,
dealing in the main with the question
of the inheritance of wealth. The au-
thor contends that the inheritance OF
wealth, beyond a certain modest
amount at least, is a fundamental
wrong, and should be abolished. This
contention he bases on two main prln-
ciplee: the right of every human being
to q fair opportunity to labor; and the
wrong involved in all claims to wealth
that are not based upon s0me form Of
productive effort. The inheritance Of
wealth, he contends, violates both these
principles. Il violates the former be
cause a person who inherits no wealth
does not start level with n who in
herit5 say, a million dollars or more;
and it violates the latter because a per
son who inherits wealth C''the heir ap-
parent'O obtains it without any produc-
tive effort OF his own, and is thereby
given an Unfair advantage in the race
Of life over one who inherits nothing.

FOREIGN COINS.
Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
HIGHLANDS, N. @.
I have seen an opinion of Mr.. Stewart
as to the right of q State to make for
ejgu coin a legal tender within the
State, and I do not understand it, as it
is written in a kind Of forked- tongue
way SO as to leave the mind in doubts.
Ia order to clear the sky of all clouds,
I respectfully aek our Senator or Hon.
Mr.. Skinner in Congress to draw a bill
to cover the ground and offer it IN
Congress and urge its passage to make
foreign coin a Iegel tender in North
Carolina.
The Constitution Of the United States
says: Congress shall coin money, re-
guiaae the value thereof and Of foreign
coin." If they will examine the act
passed under President Tyier's admin
IstFati0n in 1871, entitled. An act to
regulate the currency OF foreign na
tlOns Of gold and silver coins and fxirg
value OF certain foreign moneys at the
custom houses" Fixing the value Of
foreign coins" They will restore to
the people their lorg neglected cons5i-
tutional rights to pass such a law. As
the United States Constitution clearly
states, No State shall coin money,
make any thing; that gold and silver
is a tender in payment of debts, and
Congress refuses to coin silver at our
minis, let Us now see who II Congress
will vote to deprive US Of our legal end
constitutional rights. To go by the
letter of the Constitution, no State has
any right to use for money IS q tender
in payment OF debts any thing but gold
and silver coin. This sends National
Banks and S1ata Banks a kitiDg. Now
go by the Constitution and cease to
commit perjury any longer, give Us
money from the general gCvernmel t
ds5regardi0g the kipd Of material it IS
constructed Of and q full legal tender
! for all debts J II. F0Y.

Nc Bryan Counts MeetIne.

Clyde, Ga, June 9-In a report Of the
democratic meeting held al Clyde, il is
stated that pOpulist and republicans voted
for silver and a nonresident populist act
ed as secretary. As TO the populist and re-
publlcans voting for silver. II is a false
hood The nonresident pOpulist acted as
secretary, but was nominated. we think,
by the writer of that report, Mr.. Alfred
r. Smith. This populist was a Morrison
man, If his words expressed his sentiment.
In another report of the meeting, It was
stated that Mr.. Morrison made no attempt
TO get his friends TO attend the meeting.
How came Mr. Kennedy and his son from
Pembroke here? We are informed that
Mr.. Morrison wrote them to come TO FL
labelle and he sent them, or at least fur
nished conveyance for them. He also wrote
Mr.. J. 8. Moore at Bellknap to be sure to
come. They had p. W. Williams here from
Tattnall county to work for him.
We are perfectly satisfied that every eff
fort was used TO get every man who was
opposed to silver to attend the meeting.

~ are free silver men. J. II. Williams.

GATE CITY GUARD.
The Governor Attaches the Company
to the Fifth Regiment.

to the E1tth Regiment.
Atlanta, Ca, June 1O-Gov. Atkinson
to-day issued an order assigning the Gate
City Guard to the Fifth Regiment. state
troops, commanded by Col. John S. Can
dler. The assigning Of the Guard to this
regiment closes the stubborn controversy
between the Guard and the Fifth regi-
ment. which attracted general attention
in military circles for year Of more. The
Guard refused to re-enhst in the state
service, and claimed the right to exist
as an Independent company. The real
reason for this attitude on their part was
that the leading spirits did not want to
become a part of the Fifth regiment, and
when il finally came to a point where the
company had to enlist in the state service
or completely dissolve pressure was
brought TO bear to have the governor
attach the command 10 some other regi-
ment, or have ii remain unattached.
Gov. Atkinson, however, took the posi-
ton that discipline was what the Guard
needed before any favors We're shown
from the state authorities, and hence,
as the Fifth regiment is, the natural or
ganization of which the company should
form a part ii was so attached. Many
members of the company do not like the
order, but the company Will have to obey
it nevertheless.
