The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1896-10-13

interpst-this destruction Of the money
in which they might pay their indebt-
edness. How need we fear results with
orr abundant resources, our unrivalled
facilities and our unprecedented vim
and push7
We want aud must have good money
no sane man thinks or desires other
wie9: and the term sound money is
merely a catch phrase used by dema-
gogues for purposes Of deception.
II, then, the gold standard has pros
trated your dear interests, of what
remedial use will the election Of Nc
KinIoy be when be proposes to pursue
the line Of policy dictated by Wall
street shyIocke?
The effort to maintain the present
gold standard under Cleveland he's al,
ready cost the people two hundred and
eixty-two million dollars IN bonds
which will hong as q mortgage yer
vour children for generations to come.
Let us come back to genuine biretal-
Iism-the rniu1age Of both gold and
eliver-the metals of the Contribution,
the money OF our fathers and the poor
mans only acquaintance and friend.
Dear money makes cheap labor, cheap
products, cheap clothing, cheap food
and cheap people. Dear money makes
it easier Tor the few to control the
masses. Already our country is rapid
" losing the prestige Of an immensely
prosperous people through the c0nc0n-
trat!0n Of oil money into the hands Of
a few man and the consequent dostru3-
tion Of the great middle class, th0 back
bone Of every c~ountry-and the max
ing of millions Of paupers.
The VIZ st and South must come to-
gether and redeem the fame of the no
tion by securing the enactment of wise,
just end equellaws for all citizens alike.
When q Presidential nomination is
put up for sale through a tat frying"
process it is time for the people TO re
sent it. No more gIaring instance Of
pubic d~egeneracy and d~ebauchery ever
characterized the latter days of the RI
man Empire than we have lately wit
messed II the Hannaiz;ng system
adopted in country.
When money is plentiful the people
are prosperous, not otherwise. Il you
have plenty Of money 60 ahead and
help the ehylCcks make that money
harder for others to set and therefore
dearer and content yourself in the be
lief that everybody is happy, that
everybody al get employment 80 big
wages and that nobody wants an Off ce
except for the honor Of the thing. If
you are a goIdbug vote that ticket, if
lot DON'T stuiity Jour principles 81
helping to PIT a goIdoug a any sort OF
al Cffice. I would remind Republicans
that free silver is one OF the most cher
ished principles Of the Populiat party,
and also that but for this party some
Republicans would not have madosuch
al uDseemly scramble for nominations.
The sudden sunmersaUlts and fiinsy
reasons therefor can only be equalIed
by Rlssells eudaci5y in eeeking the
support OF g race whom he denounced
in 1883, in declining to run On the Rs
publican ticket, IS largely eavages
and rogues." How a any self respect
ing coiored man endorse him-will not
the brand of savage and thief be indie,
iac0abiy stamped upon his brow2
Won't he be a seIf-adraitted outcast
unworthy the high privileges OF citi,
z8nship9
Truth is irresistible 10 a time when
public confidence is badly shaken; the
peoples measure of oppression, misery,
misleadiDgs and Accomplishments is
foil as also in c time when the ball of
fate has fallen into the easy reach Of
almost every honest and patriotic citi-
zen, and when there is intelligence and
wisdom enough to put it in motion"
the ballot Is your ~power-start that
ball IN motion and secure your Olsen
thralIment. Respectfully,
0. II DOCKERY.

DENT,
