BIG DAY FOR RALEIGH.

Tuesday, October 10th, bids fair to be
Ia great day in Raleigh. Many agitating
things are scheduled for that day.
First, of course, is the Fair. Next is
the circus. Then there are meetings OF
the penitentiary board, the agricultural
board, and the Railroad Commission.
One hardened old circus-goer yester'
day offered to bet dollars to doughnuts

why the Party WIN Live.

Because il is builded around four di-
vine truths recognized by no other par
ty in American politics:
/. That those things which are in
their nature public utilities should be
owned and operated by the government
national, state or municipal-in the
interest of all the people.
>. That money is function of gov
eminent and should be issued by gov
eminent alone; that it is creation of
law and that 1t gains its virtue from
the legal tender which is given it by
law and not by inherent value which
the substance on which 1T is stamped
may possess.
That the land was intended for all
people; that therefore vast holdings of
land for speculative purposes should
be prohibited; that the land should be
held for the homes and tillage.
4. That the people in their sover-
eign capacity have a right to iorignate
or veto the la WIS under which they are
to live.
These are four principles that no
other party in the history Of the re-
public has had the courage to enunci-
ate.
They are today advocated by no other
party.
They are the very fundamental ideas.

How the Farmers Were BunOOed.

Anent the high flown sentiments ex-
pressed by Roswell P. Flower concern
ing the farmers, their large crops, the
accumulation of money, and the pro-
liability of spending such money freely,
whats are the facts as we in the wild
and woody west know them?
Did the farmers Of the west have a
large crop? Reports are adverse to
such a supposition; when the farmers
of this state are begging at the doors
of their state legislature for grain-and
are reporting that the seed of the pre-
vious year was not returned, and they
are now under heavy obligations to
machine men and store keepers, who
bold mortgages on their farms Does
this look like prosperous times.
Another point. In the republican
iubilatiOn, when the suppressed AMI

dsred that the injunction be issued as
prayed.
The option Of the three-cent fare law
ceases today, and President Mason of
the Citizens-Street Railroad Company,
says the fiye-cent fare will be enforced
to-morrrw. He says the injunctions
granted are against the Citizens Street
Railway Company, forbidding them to
receive a three-cent fare; against
State Prosecutor Wiltsie TO prohibit
him from trying to enforce the three
cent law, and against the city to pre-
vent its officers from, doing aught to en-
force the three-cent fare law. So far as
it is clear victory for the railroad
company. Mr. Mason thinks the en-
ployes Of the company will be instruct
ed to inform passengers of the law and
tomorrow the company will begin to
rigidly enforce the law.

Jap ms silver.

Some of the papers have been pub
fishing dispatches from Japan to the
effect that that country purposes to 60
to gold basis. The dispatches are
not true. In Japan there are two par
ties just as there are parties in the
United States, and the ultra-conserva-
tive party, like the republican party in
this country and the tory or conserve
tive party in England, has declared in
favor Of the gold standard. But it Is
not at all probab BILE that the diet oil
congress of Japan will accept the
plan.
1t is claimed that all Japan's silver
pieces are to be foated for one-hal'
their present value, that her gold
pieces are, by law, to be doubled ir
value, and that pieces of the value o.
the present silver yen will be doubled
in weight, and pieces one-half the siz'
of the present gold yen will be foatet
for the present gold piece. The pro
position is sufficiently insane on the
face it to prove its utter falsity. 1t 1t
evident that the lying campaign of thu
gold fanatics has not ceased yet. Ever
after election it is to be kept up. MARI
Hanna is still at work. Lies are to b.
fed to the people. The channels o.
correct information are to be polluted.
False statements are to be made be-
tween elections when nobody is or
guard, so that, in the brief space of 8
campaign, there will not be time enough
to show the people the falsehood

Beaten in the United States supreme
court in the Trans Missouri case,
which is referred to in the news.col-
umns of this issue, the railroads
threaten to carry their demand for the
privilege of pooling to congress and
seek through Legislative enactment
authority to do what the law explicitly
denies them the right to do. All pre-
tense at competition between railroads
is cast Off, and the railroads by their
action admit that they are unable to do
what private individuals are compelled
to cooperate their business on the
basis of free competition and free con
tract A law to permit pooling by the
railroads is equivalent to legalizing
extortion by compelling the people to
pay tribute in the way of interest on
billions of watered stock and fraudulent
bonds. 1t is equivalent to the govern
ment assuming the task of making
good all the rascalities and thieving
which have been practiced on the rail-
roads by designing scoundrels for the
last score of years If the railroads
can't run on true business principles,
under private ownership, let the gov
eminent take them over and run them
in the interest Of all the people. -

Crerprod uciIon NOD the Canae.

In an interview recently published
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson states
the overproduction is one of the chief
causes of hard times. In other words
If this years crop were only half what
1t is the farmers would have twice as
much money, and the country would
be prosperous There wonld not be
so many hungry people They would
have less to eat but more money.
The Independent would suggest as
the proper cure for overproduction an
increase in the amount OF money with
which to handle the enormous crops;
a proper regulation of railroad rates
to place the products wiGhin the reach
Of the consumers. To cure the hard
times, regulate the trusts and see that
no man or set of men take more than
a fair and legitimate income from the
necessaries furnished to the people. 1t
is the Vaccinations Of the oil trust,
sugar trust, coffee trust, tobacco trust
and the like, each taxing every farmer
an exhorbitsnt profit upon the pro-
ducts he must have, that makes it I'm
possible for him TO be prosperous He
is compelled TO sell products in a mar
llet open to the competition of the
world. He must buy his supplies
from trusts and combines among
whom there is no competition, and
where greed is unlimited. These are
some Of the causes of the depression in

The democratic party-well, we

If the resolution to corfscate the
Carnegie armor plate plant had been
introduced by one of theAsenators from
the wild and woody west our eastern
friends would have thrown q great
many spasms of virtuous Indignation.
They would have wept andtwailed and
smashed their teeth at the growing de-
generacy of the Trans-AIissouri coun-
try tore their hair over the threatened
dissolution of the republic and shed
bitter tears over the departed glories
of what was once proud and Justice
loving nation. But, as the matter
stands, our eastern friends are saying
very little about it except in a calm
and argumentative sort of way, They
have laid their choice assortment of
adjectives coined for use against the
west, and are proving by copious legal
citations and legal precedents that the
resolution is incompetent, irrelevant
and immaterial, unconstitutional and
not calculated to strengthen the ma
tion.
This attitude is largely due to the
fact that the resolution looking to con
lscation was drafted and presented to
the senate by senator from the rock
ribbed state of New Hampshire New
Hampshire, the staid and reliable up
holder of national honor and integ-
rity;" New Hampshire, ''the center
and core and axis Of all that is honest
and pure" and opposed to anything
that looks like Reputation, Coming
from the senator representing such a
state the resolution demands the care
full consideration of thoughtful people.
Had 1t been drafted and presented by
a senator from western state it would
have deserved the condemnation OF
honest and thoughtful men. We con-
fess we are surprised that the puritan
zeal and answering enemy of CON
flscation-should have raised up mar

For the last twenty years the homes,
merchants of the country have been
great sufferers on account of falling
prices produced by demonetizing silver
and adopting the gold standard A
merchant with an average stock Of
goods on hand amounting to $50, 900 is
now losing an average of Ave per cent
per annum in the decline of prices Of
his goods he has ON hand, because
general prices for the last five years
have gone down at least twenty-five
per cent Besides, the merchant loses
q great deal by bad debts. Falling
prices which make him sell cheaper
and cheaper every year prevents his
customers from selling their property
and getting money with which to buy
his goods or pay what they already
owe him, and the merchants have
been constantly going from bad to
worse, as a rule, for many years
Most of them say the remedy is con-
tinuation of the gold standard and
more falling prices 1t would seem,
If they were rational, that they had
pursued that remedy long enough.
They say burnt child breads the fire,
but the more they appear to relish the
fire. They see their neighbors in the
same business tumbling over into
ban kruptcy every day, and this, in
stead of lettering them from adher.
ence to the gold standard, appears tc
have fatal fascination for them. In
other words, the gold standard ser.
pent can charm merchant to his ruin

what WIN Happen.

There is one thing still lacking to en-.
enable the republicans to restore pros
perity by means of a higher taxationi
and as this lacking is the most impor-
tant factor in the situation, it is obvi-
GUS that the whole scheme of protec-
ton for projections sake must ineYit-
ably come to grief.
The Dingley bill provides for increas-
ing the prices of almost every product
that is manufactured IN this country.
If it also provided for raising the
prices of our agricultural products, the
general scheme would hang together
perhaps, and great many honest peo-
pie be sti further deceived in regard
to the potency of high protection in
restoring prosperity. But there is nc
such provision, and the inevitable re-
suit must be the complete and final
exposure of the fraudulent claims made
in behalf Of protection for projections
sake.
The farmers and those who depend
on them comprising go per cent of our
population) will have no more money
to buy manufactured products after
Dingley's bill becomes law than they
had before. The low prices that now
prevail were not produced by the pres
ent tariff law, but are the result Of
trade stagnation-which is only an
other way of saying that the farmers
and their dependents have no money to
buy.
The manufacturers will put up their
prices for awhile and there will be a
great pretense of return of prosper
ity, but within a month after the
Dingley bill becomes law, prices will
fall again to lower level than they
were before the measure became law.
This will open the eyes of the manu-
facturers as well as the public, and
compel them to turn to the only rem
edy that will avail-Atlanta Consti-
tuition.
81 place myself on the solid and i'm
pregnable ground that under our con-
stitution congress does not possess
power to tax the people to enhance the
private fortunes of the few, and that
the full measure of the taxing power
is reached when q tariff for revenue,
with incidental protection, is imposed.
Any other construction would lead TO
con6scation and incidently to enforced
reputation, the two worst conceivable
forms of anarchy and disorder in a civ
ilized state; and such a deduction,
when carried to its legitimate length,
would lead to the subversion of all
