TBk vIRST CHOICE OF Tnk GOLD
TkCsT.
Every man who has been met
toned ~ Republican eandida,elfov
President il . Roldbug. Allison.
Reed. Mckinley. Morton, and the
other persons named in this connee-
ton are Gil the same kind OF gold
bugs that John Sherman is. Sher-
man claims to be . true biDetal-
list" and his definition Of bimetal-
lism is goldbaggsry Of the worst and
most dangerous kind. The Presi-
Dental candidates also claim to be
"true bimetallists;" but adopt John
Sherman's definition ~ their plat
form. Every one Of these men are
perfectly satisfactory to the gold
combine, but It seems that they have
selected Mckinley AZ their most
available candidate.
They do not claim that he would
or could serve the Rothsshilds or
shylocks any better than the others.
but they think that with Mckinley as
. candidate they could, to some ex-
tent. keep the money question in the
background and get tho people to
fight another sham battle over the
tariff. The Democratic politicians
are also very anxious that Mckinley
should be nominated, and for the
same reason. Both Of the old par
ties want to straddls the money
question and deceive the people
about it, and are therefore afraid Of
the Peoples Party and its bold
stand for financial reform and the
welfare Of the people.
Already the Republican "party-
bugs" are beginning to say openly
that the tariff is the overshadowing
question. II Mckinley should be
nominated land the goldbugs and
partybugs in both parties want him
nominated) then the Democratic
politicians would at once raise the
cry of high Mckinley tariff, and try
to fool the people on that old party
bug question, while the country
would be again sold out and mort
gagged to the goldbugs.
These politicians know that the
people are robbed of ten dollars by
the gold conspiracy and banking
monopolies for every dollar that is
wrongfully taken out Of their pocket
by a high tariff. Yet, knowing this,
they are SO tied up and committed
to the gold conspiracy for campaign
funds and for other reasons that
they will again try to fool and be-
tray the people. Let the people be
on their guard. This scheme is at
work by the politicians Oh both sides.
Eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty"

WAKE ~! WORM

While some Of our people are
asleep, the enemy is sowing tares.
Here is an Illustration of how il is
done
'On Tuesday Of this week there
came 10 the post flee AT Hobton two
large packages Of circulars entitled
Sound Currency. They were given
out 10 all, regardless Of political af-
fliation. ] got one and am ashamed
OF the author Of such falsehoods.n
This an extract from a letter
written by Mr.. w. A. Barbrey, Of
Hobton.
Time and again we have tried to
urge upon the members OF the Peo-
ple's Party the burning necessity Of
making every possible effort to
spread our literature among the peo-
pie. In some localities but far too
few-earnest men have done and are
doing sem good work in this direc-
ton; but from every nook and corner
of the State comes the cry that the
people would like TO take and circu
late reform papers, but times are so
hard they cannot afford to pay for
them"
Yes, times are hard. What made
them sol Are the people who are
sending out these large packages of
goldhug literature all over the coun-
try-to every country postoflice-to
be distributed free, trying to make
times better for the people Yes,
times are hard; but they are going
to be made any better if the people
sit still and allow the tares to be
sown broadcast all over the countryf
Yes, times are hard. Will the
schemes and plans advocated by this
ocean Of free goldbug literature
point the way to change7 Must
the minds of some people be poison
cd and blinded without at least, one
great effort to prevent it
We must all remember that we are
ex-members of other parties. We
must remember that we always had
free literature from both those old
Parties-because both were and are
goldbug parties. We must remem-
Der that we are in rebellion against
those old parties, but they will con-
tinue to try to poisson and blind all
the people as they have been doing
for twenty five years. If the people
cannot or will not BUY this poison, it
will be furnished FREE in bountiful
measure.
Ii the people take this poison with
out an antidote they will become too
sick, too weak and too blind to fight
for themselves. The best antidote
IL the reform paper. There is no
other remedy. This antidote cannot
be furnished free. We have never
blinded the people so that We could
rob them, and then use our ill-gotten
substance to keep them blinded. Let
those OF us who see apply ourselves
to the task of removing the catar-
acts and films from the ewes of
others.
Individual fort must be aggre
gated into one great general under
taking. 1t boots nothing-it avails
motto say times are hard. There
is no remedy in this cry. Against
such defense as this HARDER TIMES
will come and come quickly. Work
while ye may. This is in all proba-
bility the last fight the people can
ever make peacsably. If they are
defeated, it will prove their Water
loo. The enemy is sowing tares
Why, oh people! why do you cry
hard times and sleepP Your sal
walton is in your own hands now. and
II you fail to grasp it, the time will
come when it will be beyond all eff

We do not know whether Major
Guthrie intended to say that a mil
lion dollars was the commercial
value Of four-ffths Of the papers, or
whether their influence" could be
bought for that amount. he would
be right either way. If you'll give
US big railroad, we'll engage to get
the influence of four-6fths of the
papers OF this State for much less
than million dollars. Free passes

The News and Observer tried to
do some more "symposium" bust
ness last week. Its first "sympo-
SUM" was to save the church, and
it got smashed so low that general
opinion prevailed that it had gone
down to the devil to tell his satanic
majesty the thing wouldn't work.
This last time it tried to "sympose"
about that railroad lease and it got
knocked so high that the prevalent
opinion is that it has been struck
by locomotive, AS "symposer''
the News and Observer is not in it..

The talk of "nigger" and "white
rule" is already being started again
in North Carolina for campaign pur-
poses. A number of politicians have
lived on this kind of stuff for years.
This cry has been raised to hide
election frauds and a betrayal of
principle to the gold combine. Such
campaign slogans are absurd when
we think of the fact that the colored
people compose only about one
fourth of Guy population. What the
great masses Of the colored people
in North Carolina want is fair treat
ment and justice and this they ought
to have. The CAUCASIAN is in favor
of the PEOPLES RULE.

The Charlotte Observer says that
it has it from reliable sources that
Senator Butler has agreed to a fus-
ion with the organized Democracy
on certain terms. 1t must be a very
Reliable source. THE CAUCASIAN
has it direct from Senator Butler
that this charge is untrue. Senator
Butler says that he had every time
stated, when such an arrangement
has been proposed or suggested, that
in his opinion the Peoples Party
would never fuse or cooperate with
the Democratic machine. He says
that the Peoples Party will not CO.
operate with those who support the
nominee of the Democratic party
for President, but that the Peoples
Party is ready to receive into its
ranks, or to cooperate with, those
who repudiate the gold and monop-
oily policy of the party of "psrfidy

la the beginning of the fight the
attorney General was applied to for
perm ssion to bring suit for an in
Junction against the lease, the only
purpose of the Alliance being to pre-
vent the consummation of the So
cret deal at Burlington by which
the State was grossly wronged. This
application was refused. Then an
plicat,on was made for permission
to bring suit to annul the charter of
the North Carolina railroad, or sucb
other relief as the court may see e,
to bring in the premises.

The CAUCASIAN has always stood
and now stands for the fundamental
principles of good government for
which tbs patriotic founders of our
government stood. These principles
are greater than any party. We
will repudiate any party that deserts
these principles and sells out to the
monopolists and British goldbups.
We will join any party that stands
for these principles and fights mo-
nopolies, goldbugs and traitors,

The Alliance, not desiring to an

will be given a bond to indemnify
him from ell loss, and the Alliance
will try to proceed with the suit.

We are not prepared to charge the
Attorney General with wilfully set

tended it or not there was one, and

permission to bring suit to vacate

The Observer can, on the other
hand, consistently fuse with goldbug
Republicans like Eaves, Leak,
Cowles, Settle & Co, either under
the name of the Democratic or Re-
publican machines. This would be
fusion for principle, If goldbugs can
be said to have any principles.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1896-03-12

The editor of the Charlotte Oh
server once fought goldbugs, but
like Carlisle, Sherman, Hoks Smith,
Mckinley & Co., he has deserted his
principles and gone over to the
enemy that he and they once fought.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1896-03-12

On the other hand the Charlotte
Observer says that it will not sup
port anyone who does not support
the nominee of the national Demo-
cratic convention for President. no
matter who the party dominates
(even if it is Tsamoh) and no matter
what the platform is. Therefore
the Observer need not give itself
any concern about there being any
fusion between the Peoples Party
and those who agree with and SUD-
port the policy of the Observer.

was given ont by Richard @. Kerens,
member of the national committee from

it than to various proposed planks that
have been proposed on account of Mr..

not have it understood that the pro-
posed plank had the sanction Of Mr..

that effect: u %
We believe that our money should not
be inferior to the money of the most en-
lightened nations Of the earth, and are un-
alterably opposed to every scheme that
threatens to debase or depreciate our pres
ent monetary standard. We favor the
reasonable use of silver as currency, but
such use should be to the extent only and
under such well defined regulations that
it's parity with gold as currency can be
easily and efficiently maintained. Ascon-
sistent bimetallists we are opposed to the
independent free coinage of silver at a
ratio of is to as measure fraught with
certain disaster to all commercial inter-
ests of the wage carriers, and in the abb
sence of international agreements sure to
lead to silver monOmetall ism.
