ANOTHER OPINION OF THE LEG
ISLATURE.

I have been told that notwithstand,
ing all that has been said that the last
Legislature was no rowdy than
the Webster legislature. wish to say
to the people all that all the row and
fuss made was equally divided between
the Democrats and Republicans. It
was a Democrat, Murphy, and a Re-
publian Blackburn, assisted by their
respective parties that kept up so much
fuss that Cook was compelled to ad-
journ the House on Saturday of the

tions to secure his acceptance of the
position offered at any salary he might
name.
Under his administrations the at
tendance has increased from about one
hundred and eighty to nearly eight
hundred. Ali the Southern States, and
a number of the Northern States, have
contributed to this number. President
Payne is author, editor and translator
Of numerous works on the Science,
History. Theology and Art of Educa-
ton. He is in full sympathy with
Southern people, and fully understands
the conditions that confront us.
The Peabody Normal has exercised a
wonderful influence in educational
circles in North Carolina. The State
has nineteen scholarships at this Col
lege, each worth 800 cash and travel,
ling expenses to and from the College
annually, for two years, with free tut
tion and books. This is about suh-
cient to defray the students expenses.
Many of the leading teachers of the
State were educated there. A North
Carolina branch of the Peabody Alum,
nj Association will be organized at the
next Assembly, and the Secretary re-
quests that all the graduates and stu.
dents of the Peabody Normal send
him their names at once. The object
of the organization will be to extend
to their distinguished President and
visitor such a reception as the occa-
sion demands.

vent a dollar that will always have
the same purchasing power, though
wise men have tried on it for many
wears. Hence, SO many propositions
in the way of financial reform.
And this new compromise measure
is q of them. For, possibly, q solid
dollars or a certificate representing
f! half gold and half silver would fIctu-
ate in value less than a pure gold dol
lar or a pure silver dollar.
A few years ago an article appeared
in the Arena, written by Mr.. J. f.
Clark, proposing a multiple dollar. It
proposed that there should be certif
Gates issued on many substances. For
example a one dollar certificate would
represent one grain of gold, Is grains
of silver and 2 grains Of platina, a
pound Of iron, a pound Of lead end
several other substances-enough to
make a dollars worth.
It was claimed by the author of this
measure for a multiple dollar, that if
one or two of the substances o. in
value that the others would also fall
in value and thus equalize things and
keep the purchasing power Of the dol
lar nearly the same at all times.
And it is quite probable that this
proposed certificate representing half
gold and half silver, would have a
more stable purchasing power than a
dollar of pure gold or pure silver; for
if the purchasing power of gold should
rise, that of silver would fall and vice
versa; and thus the purchasing power
of the composite certificate would re-
main nearly the same.

GREAT Scarcity OF MONEY.

w. z. Dodge, a New York Business
Man, Has Gotten His Eyes Open and
Talked Plain to the New York Cham
Der of Commerce.
Mr.. W. E Dodge, one of New York's
most e~mperprising and philanthropic
business men, was a delegate from the
| New York Chamber of Commerce to
the Business Mems Sound Money Con
vention which met recently at Indian
apolis. He was a member Of the Tx
/ ecutive Committee of the Indianapolis
| Convention. A short time after he vas
Chairman of the Arbitration Commit
tee at Washington. In both capacities
he had excellent opportunities for
meeting representatives from different
States. The following is a part Of his
somewhat remarkable speech before
the Chamber OF Commerce when sub
hitting his report of the Indianapolis
Monetary Convention:
Il was surprised, sir, to find the as
sertion made constantly by men from
the far Western States and the South
and Southwestern States that it was
not Mr.. Bryan and it was not silver
that they were in favor OF, but they
needed ONE change to bring relief
from the terrible condition Of poverty
and scarcity OF money under which
they labored. They felt that their con.
dition was so extreme and so painful
that any change would be Of value, and
when l came to look into the matter
and to talk in a friendly and kindly
way with them they all confirmed the
Same feeling, which I had found ct a
long conversation in the Treasury De
partment, in Washington, that the cir
culation of the country is quite out of
joint, that the lungs and heart are con
gested and that the extremities Of the
country are absolutely without any
blood.
II found that there were great sec
! ti0ns Of the Southern and Western
country where there was absolutely no
money ct all, where the most primitive
forms of barter obtained, where every
thing was most disOrganized. One
gentleman told ne that in his county,
which was quite a rich agricultural
county, by some happy accident a $50
bank bill had coma down into the
county, and that he had taken a horse
and buggy and spent four days in visit
ing all the towns i'll the county striving
to get it changed into smaller bills, but
had been unable to do 80, and was
finally obliged to send it to Richmond.
There were Senators who told me that
their constituents never saw a dollar
Of money from the beginning of the
year to the end, with the result that
they had constantly to go into debt to
the local storekeepers. The local store
keepers received their pay in kind. In
fact, everything was drifting back to

lease fight in self defense. It wes a
! Democrat whose voice was first heard
to cry for a speaker pro tenn. It was
q Democrat who first rushed to Free
man, took him by the arm, and, as it
were, pulled him, with Republican help
to the Speakers stand. They were to-
gether in all the row. I have always
been a Democrat of Democrats. Ny
sy mpathies were with the Democrats
at the meeting of thu legislature. [
oCked in on the legislature with an
unprejudiced eye, and am Of the opln-
ion that the legislature was not near so
bad as the papers Of the different par
ties would try to make it. But what
disgusted me, of all things, was to see
the Democrats and Republicans pull
ing together in all matters against the
masses of the people. They pulled to-
gether against all railroad reforms,
telephones, telegraphs, sustaining free
passes, pulled together in all higher
appropriations, etc. In fact, they pur-
sued the same curse in State matters
against the people that the Democrats
and the Republicans have always
done in Congress. I despise hypocracy
and when I saw Democrats introduce
ing all manner Of amendments, with
no faith in them, trying, as they said,
to put the Republicans in a hole and
on record, l was never so Disguised
with the Democratic party. A child
ten years old could see through their
acts. No party stood for their con
stituents, in voting down appropria-
tions, as much as the Populists. Every
poor man, Or man of small means,
whether he be merchant, grocer, tan
ner, tailor, miller or farmer, who votes
for q Democrat or Republican in the
future will suffer and ought to suffer.
There is no difference in them. On! the
dupes they have made Of US! | have
never been so thoroughly convinced
as have been during this last legisla-
ture of the unity OF the two old parties.
God help the people. It makes my
heart ache when [ see what Gupes aud
ounces the old parties have made of
the people. They are nothing but
sheep led to the slaughter. Tell them
SOP ali ye reformers, in clear and clar-
ion tones. II you can serve the peo-
pie by making them mad, tell them
the truth, n0matter how mad they get.
1t is their only chance for life for Thorn
selves and families, and if they will
not heed the voice Of their friends, let
them die in the ditch as they will sure
ly do. FAIR PALY AND JUSTICE.

FIFTH CONGRESSIONAL DIS.
TRICT.

! Correspondence OF the Progressive Farmer.
HAYWOOD, N. Q.
1t is a known fact to the State that
the Fifth Congressional District, of
which Alamanco county is a part, is
noted for its changes in political fronts.
! One may not be surprised to hear any.
thing from the "OId Fifth" In 1890
Williams beat Brewer; in 1892 Settle
beat Williams; in 1894 Settle again
| settled another Democrat, Gus, Ora
ham, and behold in 1896 Settle got
settled by W. W. Kitchin. In the
Z ghteenth Senatorial district, COM
prising four out Of the nine counties IN
/ the Fifth Congressional district, Ala
nance, Durham, Orange and Caswell,
we fused with the Democrats and
! elected Parker a Democrat and Lyon q
Populist. Locally here in Alamance
we fused with the Republicans all to-
gether made a Hodge Podge mess. 1t
would seem that the constituency of
of our representatives ought to CON
clude that fair play was had in the
Senatorial fight since each candidate
had a supporter from county and
district, though it seems that two of
them have had no luck in receiving
and giving out pie.
To cap the Gin in the "Old Fifth"
we find Marlborough, of Caswell, voted
to elect Pritchard, gold bug Republi.
can, to the United States Senate as
Senator Buffers colleague notwith-
standing the fact that he, Marlborough,
has been clamoring for free silver, as q
Populist.
He voted as though he had no con-
~stituency to obey but we suspect that
when he goes back to his county he
will conclude that his supporters out
side of the Republican party have emf,
grated.
The Populists Party has not been
weakened by the boilers to amount to
much, but if we ever form such another
unholy alliance with our vilest enemy
we will deserve to be wiped from the
face of the earth as completely as a
grea t storm blots out the tracks of the
little insect.
It is to be hoped by all those who feel
the hardships put upon US by unwise
and discriminating legislation that the
forces that favor a redress of grievan-
ces and a lifting of the burdens that
are so hard to carry, viz: high taxes,
high salaries and fees, high railroad
rates, low prices, scarce money and
hard times, will be united under one
banner and will march on to victory
four years from now by electing w. j.
Bryan, the man of the people, and for
the people regardless Of Hanna's Doodle
barrel. Brother P0pulists as we value
the liberty given US by u ancestry
and everything that is honorable and
praise worthy in life let US see to it
that another legislature composed of
traitors and trade g be not allowed to
assemble at our State Cabitol to blacken
the records of our fair State, nor do we
intend that such traitors as Harry
Skinner shall lead where we follow but
will recognize no other leader than the
Hon. Marion Butler 80 long as he
stands by principle and right as he has
done in the past. W. J. BROOKS.
