Silver the Issue.

RALEIGH, June 2, 1851 don't
know when it was that I read q DO
litical manifesto that pleased me SO
well as that I read by DR.. Mott from
the Silver League in Washington,
yesterday. He strikes the key note
in saying that "There is no time for
compromising differences between
men who do not agree on this ques-
ton. The only thing to be consider
ed is how those who do agree can
get together"
1t now seems highly probable that
the silver Democrats will have
a majority of the convention
which is to meet in Chicago.
But this is not enough. A
nomination by the party is not
equivalent to an election. The cause
of free silver will need tho support
of every friend of free silver OF
whatever party; and that fact must
be kept in view in the nominating
conventions. Whatever differences
exist, other than that of placing sill
YER on an equality with gold. at 1f
to l, should be laid aside fol
the present. What they call "hon.
est money!" was secured to the gold
champions by fraud and perjury
and no necessary amount of bribery
will. be found wanting in the nomi
mating conventions, and at the polls
to keep it. Therefore, no honest
earnest believer in the double stand
ard of gold and silver, should for ,
moment be hampered by old part,
attachments.

A congressman is public servant
in the full sense of the word.
He is responsible to his constitu-
ents, to his party, TO himself-the
honorable Office is full Of hard, thank
less work, and heavy responsibility.
Congressman William W. Grout is
grateful to the friend who directed
him to Paine's celery compound,
when prolonged official work had
well nigh exhausted his health and
strength. His letter reads:

compound for insomnia. Its action
on the circulation and digestion was
also beneficial.
Very truly yours,

There is something wrong when
one feels "tired all the time" IL is
contrary to every condition Of good
health.
| There ought to be no necessity OF
drumming into the ears Of tired men
and women who feel they are broken
in health, and are every day losing
in weight and strength, the urgen,
need of taking Paine's celery com.
pound, now tbs spring, to restore
their spent nerve force and purify
their blood.
Some of the earliest good result,
noticed from taking Paine's celery
compound during these spring days
is regularity of the bowels, better
appetite, sound sleep. and good
digestion. a healthy blood supply

1t is not for US to assert that The
CAUCASIAN DESERVES anything at
the hands OF the Populists of the

that it NEEDS more consideration at
their hands and more support than
it is receiving. If it is the wish or
desire Of the Peoples Party that its
present size be maintained, that de-
sire must be expressed by some
other method than mere words dur
ing the next week or two. We fully
believe our friends are justified in
pleading hard times" but that
plea affects us as well as them; and
il the "herd times" are to continue

Republican conventions have now
been held in all the As States of the
Union. Opponents of Mckinley still
cling to the hope that the field" has
majority over the "NapoleOn of FL
nance" but McKinley's nomination is
conceded by the great majority of the
press Of the country. There is. how
ever, a growing demand, East and
West, that Mckinley declare his posi-
ton on the money question. First,
the New York World sent q reporter
to him with the question whether he
would guarantee the present money
standard If elected President. After
some hours of waiting the reply came i:
'Give my compliments to the World,
but have nothing to say" Then the
New York Herald tried to secure q
statement from him but with no bet
ter success the reply was, ~ am not
called upon to make . statement at
this time. I have nothing to say"

this necessity; and in place OF en-
ploying banks to borrow money Tor
the government, he pointed out, at
the close OF the war Of 1872, when
the treasury needed replenishing.
that Congress may borrow Of the
people, and without interest, all the
money they msy want, to the amount
of q competent circulation. by mere
ly issuing their own promisory notes.
OF proper denominations for the
larger purposes Of circulation, but
not for the small. Leave that door
open for the entrance OF metallic
money"
The question raised about the
right Of Congress to issue treasury
notes, is the work % the banks. They
are anxious to get the greenbacks
out Of the way, in order to make
room for their notes; and it is Ia
inevitable that they have been able
to enlist the Democratic President
Of the United States in their cause.
In his last annual message the Pres
ident proposes the withdrawal Of the
United States notes from ciYcula-
ton, and states tina. the bonds he is
issuing to buy gold, to redeem green
backs. and pay interest on bonds,
may become the basis of bank note
issues. 1t is true that the green
backs, and the bonds, and the bond
interest, are all redeemable and pay
able in silver as we'll as gold. But
it does not suit the bondholders and
bankers of Europe and America,
that silver, though a legal tender,
shall be recognized as such, and for
this reason the President has al
ready increased the interest bearing
public debt, by $780,, OOO,O0 in the
purchase or gold for the gratifica-
ton Of these classes. The President
expresses the wish in his last annual
message to be clothed with authority
to redeem all outstanding United
States notes and treasury notes, by
a further issue of bonds amounting
to five hundred millions more; the
effect Of which would be to treble
the interest bearing public debt
above what it was when he assumed
office, March 4, 1893.
