Washington, d. &.
Our esteemed contemporary. the
News and Observer, has been print
ing some rafting good reading matter
of late from back issues of The eau
cAsIAN. 1t is the best matter we have
ever seen in that paper. II il had
been printing such good mental pab-
ulum as that when il was advocating
Hoax Myth for President at time
when Hoax-Myth was goldbug. ii
might not be SO difficult now to under
stand why-but what's the use: Bet
it go at that.
The CAUCASIAN takes pleasure to an
nounce to its lady readers that it has
completed arrangements with the
Demorest Publishing company, of
New York, TO furnish this paper with
illustrations ard description of the
latest patterns of garments for ladies,
misses and children. Cut out the
coupon printed in our "Pattern De-
partment" enclosing ten cents and
mail it to the CAUCASIAN, Raleigh, n.
c., and we will mail you any pattern
you may select from those that appear
in our pattern department.
We again revert to the fact that the
gOld-standard Democrats, in their
Greensboro convention, heartily in
dorsed the Democratic State ticket.
Any inconsistencies here? The gold
standard Democrats did not think so.
Any old line Democracy will do for
them. They know what they are doing.
But these gold standard Democrats are
against Bryan. POpUlists are for
Bryan. Just put all these facts to-
gether and see what you make out of
them.
Last week there were three failures
of national banks in the city of New
Orleans. DepositOrs will soon learn that
the pretended safety of national banks
is myth. They are as unreliable and
unsafe as any other private institu-
ton. for the name national merely
signifies that the government gives
them more privileges to rob the people
but does not stand good for their
debts.
If the reconciliation of silver will
reduce the purchasing power of gold,
as the gOldites declare, then the de-
monetization of silver increased the
purchasing power of gold; and it nat
urally follows that the restoration of
silver to free coinage will only restore
the former relation of the two metals.
The question to be solved at the
polls this fall is not what kind of dol
lars we shall have but whether or not
we shall have any dollars at all
whether we shall pay Off national and
private debts in coin or continue the
present ruinOus system of borrowing
gold and finally allow England to
foreclose and take the whole property
Get up a club of ten among your
silver Democrat and Republican
neighbors. Populist principles can

time, if the hustlers will act promptly.

Mr.. Chas. Broadway Rouss, the
multi-millionaire prefers Palmer to
Bryan and will vote the Indianapolis
| ticket. He is the gentleman who
sometime ago offered 100000 to an
Oculist who would restore his sight.

one.
What blessed thing for the people
| of North Carolina had the Democrats
enacted some of the laws they now ad-
vocate. VIII some of their leaders
please explain why they failed to do
so? You promised it before, and you
had the power, but you didn't do it.
We do not care to assert that the de-
feat OF the Democratic party is a spe-
cial object of the people, but it begins
to look as though they are pretty thor
oughly bent on retiring to private life
some individuals who call themselves
Democrats.
| Several communications and reports
OF conventions were unavOidably
crowded out of this issue. We wish to
again remind correspondents to please
be brief, otherwise we cannot publish
their communications.
Say, you fellow, that is talking about
a dollar that is good in Yurrop,' -
wake up! What you want is dollar
that is good at the corner grocery. and
with the tax collector. Never YOU
mind about it being good in Europe.
That was clincher which Ii Hung
Chang whispered into the ear of
Hanna: "If the free coinage of sill
yer would, as you say, tend to reduce
the wages of workingmen, why are
YOU opposed to lt?"
Mr.. Sewall need not worry about a
long letter of acceptance. His mana
gers would prefer that he give more
volubility to his OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

your school house or voting precinct if
you have no other organization. DO
this at once.
