allure the ducks near enough to be
shot, and when Palmer-Buckner man
was around it meant Mckinley blind
with decoy duck near to entice un-
suspecting Democratic ducks into the
Mckinley trap. And, now, he said,
they have sent the prettiest decoy duck
they could find. We are now nearing
the end of the greatest political cam
paign in the history Of this country. If
this question was to be settled in a
foreign country, a King, Queen or Car
would pass upon it; and their decision
is always on the side of the classes.
But thank God the people are the
sovereigns, and they are to decide this
great question. He rejoiced that it
would not be settled by the banks, cor
porations, or Wall street, but by the
votes of all the people, by and for their
interests. The great question of this
campaign is whether the present gold
standard shall be continued or shallwe
have both gold and silver as standards
of value. He would not discuss Wheth-
er the act Of 1873 was passed stealthily
or openly or who voted for or against
it, but its effect upon the peoples in
terest.
He then quoted what Grant SAID af
ter he had signed this bill, that he did
not know it closed our mints to silver,
and that Blaine as Speaker Of the
House did not fully understand its
meaning, and also others. The gentle
man admitted that times we're not so
good as had been, and I can
take almost any intelligent populist,
and let him have lick at our friend,
and that he could tell him why prices
had decreased, because the former knew
we had no such low prices as at present.
Now what remedy does our friend offer!
Retire all the notes in circulation, main
tain the present gold standard, turn the
money of the country over to the banks
and Wall street, so they can call it in
and dole it out whenever they desire,
and contract the currency at their
pleasure, and right lc'e want to say
to my populist frieNGs, you have got
some decoy dnc5sr in y'xsr ranks. This
fight, he said, Was NOT between the
masses and the classes, for no man de-
precated more than he the differences
that existed between labor and capital.
Democrats do not favor that, but that
Democrats are trying to keep capital
from owning the people of this country.
We are not seeking new experiments,
but simply desire to undo act of 1878,
and place all classes upon the same
level. That if John P. Jones digs gold
and some one else silver it is no reason
why the government should discrimi-
nate in favor of Jones gold. That the
two metals, gold and silver, were put
in the earth in about the same proper
tion, to do the business Of the people.
Up to 1878 practically the whole world
was On the bi-metalic basis. 1t is rrue
that England demonetized silver in
1916, but then we had at our back Ger
many, France, the Latin Union and
India. As to the taking of our dollars
away prior to 1873, we were coming
ours at 16 to l and France at 15H to l,
which made the bullion value in France
more than in this country, and hence
our silVk left us. But it was a meas
ure Of lue, and answered the same
fX gold. No man can dispute

lists, you have declared your hostility
ITO the gold standard, and how can you
contribute to help the gold standard.
You laughed when | referred to decoy

say your State Chairman is on the
ticket beside Republicans who openly
advocate the gold standard. There is
Walzer and others of your candidates
waltzing over the State who are ccn1,
nitted TO the gold standard, He,
your chairman, is urging you to vote
for gold men, who are also decoy
ducks. Why don't you laugh? Why
should not people who hold the same
views vote alike, | can't see how
man favoring silver can use his inhu
ence to elect gold man. Ilmplore you
all to vote as your conscionces dictate,
and not be simply bound by fusion
arrangement that defeats the very
thing for which we stand. Remember
your homes, county and State, and for
God sake don't vote against your
sacred convictions. Go and settle it
conscientiously. Ifyou believe in the
gold standard, vote to return Jeter
Pritchard, and divide your vote SO as
to elect gold congressman: but if you
favor the free coinage of silver get out
of the narrow confines of your party,
vote for Bryan and silver down to
township constable. One word more,
whether we have gold or silver, money
plentiful, or money scarce, unless we
have good government in North Caro-
lima we cannot enjoy prosperity. 1t is
a question of Watson or Russell.

gold be your standard. Some seems to
think that gold is as fixed and immov-
able as the North Star. But the best
writer's have said its value does change,
and here quoted authorities to sustain
his position. 1t would be better, he
said, if we could have all contracts
stable, for then we could tell how many
pounds of cotton we would have to pay.
But gold is always creeping up. To IL
lustrate, if ten years ago man bor-
rowed 1000 dollars and had calculated
how much cotton it would take to pay
it, he would find now, even if he kept
the interest properly paid, that it will
take about twice as much as when the
debt was contracted. We hear great
deal about an honest dollar. The gold
standard mans idea is to buy as much
as possible Of the hard earnings of the
people. Put dollar that compels a
man to pay twice as much as he re-
ceived is more dishonest than the one
that pays back the amount Of the debt
as contracted. Another thing they say,
that the mine owner will by legislation
receive 47c. more for his silver bullion
and in the same breath that the debtor
is trying to pay his obligations in a
$50. dollar. Now my friends one of
those assertions must be lie TO show
that the decrease of the standard non
ey Of the world decreases prices (Which
the gentleman denies) lay down this
proposition. Tomorrow have an ap-
pointment at Snow Hill, and by the
way have not missed an appointment
to speak in rs years. Suppose there is
only one horse and buggy in this town
available for me to go in, and there are
others also who desire to 60, and they
will have to hire horse to get there,
isn't it easy to see that if 60 will
have to pay more to get there than if
horses and buggies were plentiful. But
suppose am the only one wanting to
60 to Snow Hill and there are dozen
idle horses and buggies. Those stable
men will bid against each other, and
the chances are would get to Snow
Hill for very small price. 1t is the
same old law of supply ard demand.
And do you mean my friend that the
taking away of one-half the money of
the world would not increase the value
of the other half. In 1873 when the
United States lead the way by striking
down silver, ON half of the money of
the world was taken away, and the 9TH
er half increased in value. Since then
gold has so increased that it takes about
twice as much land, corn, cotton, meat
and produce to get a dollar with as it
did then, and that is what our gold
standard friend wants, He wants his
money to buy as much as possible.
An eminent Englishman said in an
address short while back. If | were
an American should favor the open
ing of the mints to the coinage Of both
gold and silver, but being an English
man I am in favor of the gold standard
because England is the greatest ma Ru-
featuring and money lending natiolfop
earth. We produce less raw materially
also than any other, and have to buy
those materials Of other countries. v
buy from thA United States the mos
60 nGnd raw material,
