GREAT GAINS FOR THE PEOPLES
PARTY.

The growth of the Peoples Party
all over the country since the last
election is remarkable. News of
such growth come not only from
every county in North Carolina, bat
from every quarter of the Union. A
few weeks ago Democratic Sheriff
died. 1t was in a county that went
Democratic by several hundred ma
jority in the last election. A spe-
cial election for Sheriff has been
held, and the Peoples Party candi-
date has been elected by 239 major.

Last week the Peoples Party car
ried the town of Ellsworth, Me-,
electing the mayor over both of the
old party candidates. The name OF
the Peoples Party mayor is Hon.
Robert Gerry. 1t was a hard fgh,
and the Peoples Party candidate
came out with plurality of nine
votes over both Of the old parties
This is the home Of Senator Hale Of
Maine.
At the city election in Victor, Cal
ifornia, last week the Peoples Party
elected their entire ticket from
mayor down.
In North Carolina the growth o.
the Peoples Party has been large
and by a constant and steady in
crease. Among the more recent ad
ditions are Hon. w. E. Fountain
Mayor of Tarboro; Mr.. Clark of tn,
Weldon bar, a brother of Judg'
Clark; and Mr.. II. II. Farthing, +.
member of the Board of Commis
sioners of Watauga county.
The people are fast realizing tina
the Peoples Party is the only part
that keeps its pledges and is true t
the people.

If We understand the termination
of the Peoples Party in North Caro-
lima, and we think we do, cooperation
or "fusion" with it is impossible un-
less the other party to the co-opera-
ton will fully endorse and cordially
support the demands and principles
of the Peoples Party.

1t is Overwhelmingly evident that
machine Democrats are not pleased at
the failure of "fusiOn" between the
committees of the Republicans and the
Peoples Party. This is the best posi-
pie proof that the action of the Popu-
list committee is right.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1896-04-30

Some Republican politicians are
charging that the State committee
of Peoples Party is trying to lead
the people into the Democratic party.
They either know that their charge
lis false, or else they have too little
political sense for their opinions to
be entitled to consideration. They
make this charge to try to draw at
tention from the real reason why
their spoils game proposition was
not accepted. by the. Peoples party.
They also know so we'll that the Peo-
ple's Party will never 60 into the
Democratic party that they mako
this charge hoping to cause division
and dissatisfaction in the ranks of
the Peoples Party.
Since the Republican politicians
have failed to get the PEOPLES Party
to sell out its principles for a few Of
fees, SO that they could discredi t
the party and then swallow it, til ey
have now begun circulating these
base and baseless charges with the
hope of trying to divide the party and
to got part of it to 60 into their
ranks. The game will not work.
| We want to state now, once for
all, that the Peoples Party will not
90 into either of the old parties,
and it will spurn any offer to CO
operate with either one except upor
the basis of at least one Fundamentals

They were unable to make the mar
ginal reference in this case, rs may
be seen by reference to the Revisal,
section 1856; and the absence Of the

The revisers assured General But

contained nothing that was not in

When silver was demonetized, and
the coinage of the silver dollar was
prohibited by act of Congress-, the
silver dollar was three per cent.
more valuable than the gold dollar.
In other words, the silver bullion in
the dollar was three per cent. more
valuable than the gold bullion in
the gold dollar. This was the fact,
as stated by the Superintendent of
the Mint, at the time. But no hard
money was in circulation at that
time; the members of Congress that
voted to stop the coinage, and who
at the next session, voted to demon
etize the silver dollar, did not know
what they were doing. They admit
ted this when the people found out
what had been done.
This was two or three years after
the deed was done; and then it was
that Senator Sherman defended his
conduct in stopping the coinage, on
the ground that the silver dollar was
more valuable than the gold dollar,
and could not be kept in circulation.
And that being his reason, he should
have moved to stop the coinage of
the gold dollar when it became more
valuable than silver. But that would
not have suited the capitalists of
Great Britain, and of Wall street,
whose great aim in life is to enhance
the value of United States bonds.
1t is a common mistake that is
made by public men, as we'll as by
the people, in assuming that silve,
was deloonetized by John Sherman's
act, which became a law February
IL, 1873. Any one will see the erro,
by reference to the act, which is en-.
titled an act to regulate the mints

but did not demonetize the dollars

hope of preserving unity of &C
ton in their ranks; and to this end
the weakened silverites are bring
ing forward Mr.. Morrison, of ILL
nois, who has defined his position to
be in favor of bimetalism, on the
basis of adding to the silver dollar
an amount of the metal sufficient to
raise it to the artificial value of the
gold in the gold dollar. He is will
ing to 60 thus far, we believe, re-
CARELESS Of the action of foreign ma
tons, in the premises.
But in taking this position, Mr..
Morrison forfeits the favor and sup
port of the bimetallists, without win
ming the confidence of the gold mon
ometallists. He falls between the
two stools. He is neither hot nor
cold, but lukewarm, and will be
spewed up by both wings of the
party. The northern Democracy
are as firmly welded to the single
gold standard as Wall street, or the
Bank of England. The great news
papers of New York, Philadelphia,
Boston and Baltimore, without re-
gard to old party afinities are as
closely allied on this subject as were
the people of South Carolina, be-
fore the war, upon the subjects of
slavery and secession. So there is
no hope for Mr.. Morrison in that
quarter.
The southern leaders of Democra-
cy, who dread the thought of sep
aration from their northern friends,
will not be able to carry the people
with them, in support of Mr.. Morri-
son, nor of any other man who is
not an emphatic and outspoken ad-
vocate of the immediate restoration
of silver to an equality with gold at
16 to l, with the right of the
holder of silver bullion to have
it coined, on the same terms with the
holders of gold bullion. This i.
what the southern and western PEG
pie mean, almost regardless Of pal
ties. This is the demand of South
ern Democrats and Populists, with
not a few Republicans.
1t is idle for party leaders to at
tempt diverting them from thi
purpose. They understand it. Al
who read, and all who only hear ant
attend to what they hear, now un
derstand that silver was demone
tied in order TO make debts heavier
and labor cheaper, and money harde
to get; and they mean to correct tn,

One of the towering absurdities of
the hour is the effort of one or two
men to create row by crying that
certain prominent Populists are try
ing to lead the party into the Demo-
cratic camp. There is nothing in this
but a purpose to induce Republicans
to help them continue to hold down
some county offices. Republicans
ought to have enough sense to see
through this little game. What will
these men give them in exchange for
their votes?

sires to express its thanks to all Re-
publicans who are abusing the POpu-
uists for the action of the Peoples

only from those who want the spoils
of organized brigandage. And still
we cannot understand why they should
deal in this abuse. They say they can
command 1875 600 votes. that the DEM
ocrats can command only ll0,ON0 and
the POpulists the small mOuicum OF
5000. Now there will be no fusion
between the Democrats and POpulsts,

ers' claims. are anything like correct,
they have plain and easy sailing to the
land of spoils. They are either the
biggest fools or the biggest liars i'm the

and one silver wing. They are

TWO KINDS OF aOLDBUa AGENTS.

The Democratic politician says
that he favors free silver, but that
the only way to get it is through the

dishonest! When the Democratic
party was in full power it not only
did not wipe out the single gold
standard, but it actually repealed
the only law on the statute books
favoring silver and providing for ar
increase of currency.
