1.-THE prospect is that in six months
there will not be greenback leader

made by the leaders of the greenback

FOURTH ROUND.

The fourth round is now being
fought in the great national arena
the Banks and Money Power being on
one side and the peOple-the work
ers, the producers, the toilers, the
great bone and sinew of the Republic
on the other. SO far the Money Power
has downed the people in every round.
The great question is will the Money
Power or the People win in the fourth
round now being fought? This is
probably the last round that will be
fought for years. 1t will result in a
"knOck- out" for one side or the other
and it is possible that the the winner
of the round will have permanent
victory. People, Oh. citizens of Am
erica, you ARE STRONG ENOUGH are
you BRAVE ENOUGH to win?

DOings in Congress-.

L low DON
1t has been objected heretOfOre-the
Observer itself has, indeed, entered the
ObjectiOn-that North Carolina has
been too seldom heard from in either
branch of Congress. She is being heard
from enough in the present Congress,
if the columns of the Record afford any
test.-Charlotte Observer.
The Observer is correct this time.
1t might, however, have added that as
a rule prior to the present Congress
North Carolina members have done but
little except draw their salaries and
their breath. They represented the
Democratic party and not the people,
follow the party bosses. But it is diff
ferent now. North Carolina has Pop
ulist delegation in Congress who were
sent there by the people and not at the
dictation of party leaders and they are
there to represent the people. And
when they represent the people they
must of necessity antagOnize those who
have been sacrificing the peoples in
terests on the altar of plutocracs
hence they are "heard from" in a man.
ner that's not very pleasing to "sOund
money" papers like the Observer.
Carlyle's Prophecy.
More than fifty years ago Carlyle
the great English author, wrote:
"The Republic west of us will have
it's trial period, it's darkest of all
hours. 1t is travelling the high road
to that direful day. And this scourge
will not come amid famine's hOrriG
stride, nor will it come by ordinary
punitive judgments. 1t will come as 8
hiatus in statecr aft, a murder[ Gus
bungle in policy. 1t will be wher
health is intact, crops abundant ant
the munificent hand open. Then so
called statesmen will cry over-produc
ton, the people will go to the ballo
box amid hunger and restitution, bu
surrounded by the glitter of self rule
and ratify, by their ballots, the mon
strOus falsehood, over-prOduction, ut
tered by mis-statesmen, and vindica
ted by the same ballot the infamou
lie, over-prOductiOn thrown upon tn
breeze by servile editors through
corrupt press. And this brings ruiz
upon his country, serfdom upon him

This one. issued March r. 1893, by Bankers
Association to all National banks.
Tho Panic Letter.
DEAR SIR: The interests of National
bankers require immediate financial
legislation by Congress. Silver, silver
certificates and treasury notes must be
retired and the National bank notes
upon gold basis made the only money.
This will require the authorization of
from $5OO,OOO,0OO to $l,OOO,OOO,OOO of
new bonds as basis of circulation.
You will at once retire one-third of
your circulation and call in One-half
OF your loans. Be careful to make a
money stringency felt among your
patrons, especially among influential
business men. Advocate an extra ses-
sion of Congress for the repeal of the
purchase clause of the Sherman law
and act with the other banks of your
city in securing large petition to
Congress for its unconditional repeal,
per accompanying form. Use personal
influence with congressman and par
ticularly let your wishes be known to
your senator. The future life of ma
tiOnal banks as fixed and safe invest
monts depends upon immediate action,
as there is an increasing sentiment in
favor of government legal tender notes
and silver coinage
