GOOD DOLLARS.

In his recent speech at Memphis,
Mr.. W. J. Bryan said:
They say the gold dollar is a good
dollar; that it gives us good money.
Ny friends, we want good money, but
how good7 Just good enough; not too
good, my friends. Laughter and ap-
plause We do not want a dollar so
good that you can pray for it, and long
for i, but eve get hold of it. Laugh
ter and applause l have described
the gold dollar as the balloon dollar.
It keeps rising all the time, and those
who were in the basket when it started
up, stay with it, but it is out of the
reach Of the great masses of mankind.
Applause
1--WE are tired of the balloon dolIar.
We wants dollar to look at as it passes
from us We want a dollar to handle
as it passes among us. / want bimet-
allism, because it requires all the gold
and all the silver to furnish q safe basis
for the immense commercial affairs of
the nineteenth century. 1t requires
them both. You talk to me about g
fl BOD of money, when we have free
coinage. Ny friends, I know people
who lived 81 long in the South that
they are watching for the first drippings
of the food. Applause
II am not afraid, when all the gold
available for coinage, and all the silver
available for coinage will be poured
into the money volume of the world,
that there will be more than enough to
form a safe and sound basis for safe
and sound commercial transactions.
Applause
Our opponents say We want
sound money What would you think
Of a carpenter who tried to build a
house upon an invisible foundationl
And yet they want to build up com,
mercial transactions of this couoGry
upon a little lump of gold, regardless
of the fact that foreigners hold a string
TO the gold, and a jerk out the foun-
dation Of our commerce. Applause.
~ III ask US how we are gong TO
bring silver back into use. l tell you
you cannot do it by electing people to
Office who want it driven out of use.
Applause Money is a creature of
law, and laws are made by the people.
Our opponents-the friends Of the
gold atandard-h8ve secured an am
biguous platform in the Democratic
conventional and Republican convention,
and they have secured nominees who
were safe from having ideas, and thus
having no party except as to that policy
that "a advance their interests.
These fnanciers have set back as to
both platforms, and said: Both good
men, both good men, This year they
only get one good man-one good man."

It is evident, then, that with a de-
creasing circulation, money is always
increasing in value, and because of
this, a gold standard is not and never

BEST JOKE OF THE SEASON.

Robert J Lowry, President of the
American Bankers Association has
/ written an article on the financial ques-
tion. He thinks we ought to come to
a gold basis. We ara on that basis
now. Strange that he should clnmor
for what we already have.
But the best bit of humor in his let
ter is where he says 1.-The government
ought to issue o low interest bearing
bond and compel the National banks to
buy these bonds to the full extent OF
their capital" Bill Nye never wrote a
funnier paragraph in his life Compel
the National banks to buy government
bonde! Why, the government has to
lie awake nights now to plan schemes
to dodge the National bankers and
keep from issuing bonds. Bids were
made for several times the number of
bonds issued last year. Yet he talks
like the government will have to com.
pei the banks to buy it's bonds. That
is equal to the best Irish bull, is on par
with the assertion made by the Irish
man who said: Americans ali co as
they please; faith and if they don't do
as they please the law makes 'em
do it,"
But there is another bit of financial
humor concealed in Mr.. LoWry's next
suggestion, i. e., that the banks be
allowed (not completely to issue circu-
lating bills on the bonds, thus taking
away from the government the time
honoTed duty Of issuing currency for
the use Of It's subjects. Thus instead
of the banks getting 6, 8 and II per
cent. on their present circulation, on
their available capital stock and on de
posits, they will have full control Of all
the circulating medium and get the in
terest in advance out Of every dollar
hereafter put in circulation. The peo-
pie will pay a tribute Of + s or II per
cent for what the government ought
t furnish free of cost, since it started
out to do that and has taxed the people
to put up minis and engraving outfits.
Times are bad enough now, but if
the bankers get another grip on this
government, more special privileges,
the power to absolutely control the out
put of a circulating medium, mon.
archial slavery, such as still exists in
some foreign countries, will be a thou
sand times preferable to the lives that
our people will then live.

SOME STARTLING NEWS.

It ome direct from Washington
that a proposition to attempt to solidi-
fy the white voters Of this State by
starting race riots this week and on
election day, has been fully discussed
at National Democratic headquarters.
1t is not known that any line of
policy has been adopted, but it is
horrible to contemplate even a discus
zion Of such a plan. We are unwilling
to believe that the respectable, law.
abiding element of the Democratic
party will sanction such outrages,
but there ia a so called respectable ele-
ment in the party that will stop at
nothing. When the Democratic party
went into power year after year by
fraudulent voting, it forfeited every
right to support it may have had, but
if the Washington report be true, and
rioting and bloodshed are to be adopted
as a last desperate resort to again en-
throne a lawless o~ligarchy, il ought to
and will prove q boomerang, and solid
ify the voters against the l~awbreakers.
No party can long stay in power if it
goes in by violating the most sacred Of
all laws, the right of free suffrage, and
when it adds a whole list of crimes. it
becomes loathsome in the eyes OF all
honest people.
If such tactics are adopted We trust
that the anti Democratic voters of the
State will pay no attention to it. Do
not notice slurs or petty insults. Keep
sober and attend toyour own business.
and see that there is an honest election

THAT N1NETY-N1NR YEAR LEASE
Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.

/ SOIItSpOAAClCC u Inc L LOBICSSINS EdIu1SIs
RIDGEwAY, N. c., Oct. 20, SO.
The legislature of North Carolina, at
it's next session, will be petitioned to
investigate the ninety nine years lease
of the N. @. Railroad, and to have the
validity of the same passed upon by
cur courts.
The directors of the N. @. Railroad
clearly acted ultra Ujres' and the
United States Supreme Court has 50
held in the case of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company against the s..
Louis and Alton, 118 U. s Reports.
The court decided that, UNLESS
specially authorized by it's charter or
aided by some other legislative action,
a railroad cannot by lease or other coz
tract turn over to another company
for a long period of time it's road and
all its appurtenances, the use Of it's
franchise and the exercise of its pow
ers, nor can any other railroad com
pany without similar authority make
a contract to run or operate such road,
property and franchises of the first cor
poratiOn. Such a contract is not among
the ordinary powers of a railroad com.
pany and is not to be inferred from
the usual grant of powers in a railroad
charter.
This case comes to the Supreme Court
from Indiana Commissioners vs.. Rail
road Company, so Indiana), and the
court goes or to say: 1T is cited, in
the brief of counsel for complainant, as
sustaining the doctrine that in Indiana
the right of railroad companies to lease
their roads to other companies is recog-
nized by the judiciary Of that State.
We think it proves the opposite. The
lease in that case was held void as be-
ing "WItT1 UireS." All the arguments
Of the court are based on the PROPOSE
ton that the corporation can do no
valid act unauthoriz ID by statute, and
can make no contract in contravention
Of public policy. The court further
saye: I'VE look in vain, in this latest
decision of the State for any assertion
of the proposition that by the laws of
that State, or by the decisions of it's
courts, there exists any law by which
one railroad Company can by lease, or
any other contract, make an absolute
surrender of its road and it's franchise
to another"
Mr.. Justice Miller, delivering the
opinion Of the court in Thomas va.
Railroad Company, 1O1 U. s., says:
when a corporation like a railroad
company has granted to it by charter
a franchise, intended in large measure

It is against the law to bet on the

The Palmer Buckner ticket will be
the leading farce in the drama next

Thomas E Watson hasn't gone any
where. His campaign managers are
taking a vacation, however.
Don't forget that the people of this
State have been promised an honest
election.
Don't fail to vote as often as the law
allows next Tuesday. That is one time.
Vote for somebody.
Remember that next Tuesday is the
last opportunity you will have to vote
in q general election this year.

Mr.. Bryan says the trusts do not

fear that be will enforce it. We shall

Banks are incorporated and become
a power with which the ordinary indi
vidual feels unable to contest an uD ast
claim.
The State Fair was a success. The
exhibits and races were as good or better
than ever before, and the fakirs were
simply grand.
We learn that a Palmer Buckner
elector tried to address a great congre-
cation of his fellow citizens at Selma a
few days ago and failed to have even
one mar to hear him.
The News and Observer has at last
discovered a race riot, and is painting
things red accordingly. Such riots are
to be regretted, but they do not change
the sentiment of political parties.

At Il of Sam Jones meetings in
Georgia, recently, 1. 500 people stood up
and wanted to be prayed for. Sam will
have a lively time if he prays off the
sins of all the election thieves in Georgia.
Secretary Nichols, of the State Fair,
covered himself all over with glory by
getting a regiment Of State troops here
and pulling off a sham battle. 1t is
generally believed that the object in
getting the troops was to suppress the
Hoochie-C oochie shows and fakirs. At
any rate the troops were here in all
their brass buttons and cigarette glory.
By a mistake made by the paper mill
our edition of October 18th was several
hundred short. This was not discov.
cred until after the paper was printed
and part Of the type distributed. This
will explain why we cannot furnish
copies of that issue to those who have
written for it. We regret such things
but they seem unavoidable. However
we believe this never occurred but
twice before In the life Of this paper.
