THE POPULIST VOTERS AGAINST
THE "MACHINE."

In a recent speech, Congress Strowd,
of the Fourth district, in response to
question, said: IF I lived in the Fifth
district [ would not vote fer Mr.. Settle.
He is a gold-bug, and aginst the free
coinage of silver. No true Populist can
support him.
1t seems that the Populists of the
Fifth district are much of Mr.. Strowd's
opinion. They are not only resolved
to vote against Settle, but to send a
delegation to the Legislature that viii
prevent the reelection of Senator
Pritchard. Up to yesterday there had
been fusion in the Fifth district be-
tween Democrats and Populists in
Rockingham, Caswell, Person, Stokes
and Durham, and fusion on the Senator
from the district composed of Person
and Granville. Yesterday there was
complete fusion in Orange, and in the
Senatorial district composed of Dur
ham, Orange, Alamance and Caswell.
While the Populist State committee at
Raleigh was resolving to stick to a
trade, already broken by the Republi-
cans in dighonorable way, by which
gold-bugs shall be elected to kill free
silver in Congress the Populist voters
of these four counties were resolving
to vote with their natural allies. The
machine stands in with the gold-bugs;
the people put silver above party, and
will not support a gold-bug for any
office, no matter how many times the
machine orders them thus to betray
their principles.

GOLD is THE TEST.


Now and then you find Republican
speaker who says, 81 am in favor OF
silver but -" No Republican who
is for free silver, and will vote for
silver candidates is permitted to bear
the Republican banner. This is shown
by an incident in the Chatham county
Republican convention last week, as
given by the Chatham Record:
''Ira Philips, of Bear Greek town
ship, was about to be nominated
as the other candidate for the
House when Richard Ramsey (col-
ored) arose and suggested that
Mr.. Philips was for free silver.
Mr.. Philips at once arose and said
that he was in favor of free silver,
and thereupon Chairman McIver
promtly arose and authoritatively
declared that the test of true Re
publicanism was the support of the
gold standard. Mr.. Philips having
thus been declared ineligible, the
name of f. Coffin was presented
and he was nominated by accla-
nation. This shows very plainly
that no friend of free silver can
vote for or with the Republicans
for any office"
This is the test everywhere though
in some counties it is sugar-coated.

THE FINANCIAL NEWS SAID IT.

Some weeks ago the newspapers pub
lished an extract from the London
Financial News that made many con-
verts to free coinage. The Republican
National committee, through it's press
bureau, sent out a statement that no
such article had appeared in the Finan-
cial News, and intimating that it was
a forgery and a fake. The Washing
ton Post, with it's customary good
sense, addressed an inquiry to Dur
rants Press Cuttings, a reputable con-
Germ in London with which it has long
had dealings. Mr.. Durrant made a
careful examination of the files of the
Financial News, and writes that he has
the actual paper containing the article
in his office, 'and it can be seen by
any one" This settles the authenti-
city of the article, which ought to be
carefully considered by every man in
America. 1t appeared in the Financial
News of April Both, 1894, and is as
follows:
There is a plain moral in the
remark that if the United States
would venture to cut herself adrift
from Europe and take outright to
silver she would have all America
and Asia ait her back, and would
command the markets of both con-
tinents. The barrier of gold would
be more fatal than any barrier of
a custom house. The bond of sill
YER would be stronger than any
bond of free trade.
There can be no doubt about
it that if the United States were
TO adopt a silver basis tomorrow,
British trade would be ruined be-
bore the year was out. Every
American industry would be pro-
tected, not only at home, but at
every other market OF course
the States would suffer to a GER
tain extent through having to
pay their obligations abroad in
gold but the loss on exchange
under this head would be a mere
drop in the bucket compared with
the profits to be reaped from the
markets of South America and
Asia, to say nothing of Europe.
'"The marvel is that the United
States has not long ago seized the
opportunity, and but for the belief
that the way of England is neces-
sarily the way to commercial sue
cess and prosperity, undoubtedly
it would have been done long
ago. Now, Americans are awak-
ening to the fact that so long as
they narrow their ambition to be-
coming a larger England they can
not beat us. 1T has been a piece
of luck that it has never occurred
to the Americans to scoop us out
of the worlds markets by going
on silver basis, and it might
serve us right if, irritated by the
contemptuous apathy of our gov
eminent to the gravity of the silver
problem, the Americans retaliate
by freezing out gold. 1t could easily
be done"
