YOUNG MEN COMING TO THE RES QUE.
Mr.. A. II. Eller,a young lawyer of
the Winston bar, one of the brainiest
young men IN the State, has spoken ont
clearly and boldly against one of the
most insidious and dangerous evils
that to- day threatens orr institutions.
1t is the subtle and ST. althy effort o!
the gold ring and the trust 10 capture
and muzzle our churches and colleges.
From the report of tn. Masonic PIC
mic held at Moe. willie 90 '-st Thurs
day, we clip The following:
Mr.. A. H. E,ler, of Winston, was
the orator of the day. S,nator Till
man, Of South Caro''n', failed to
show up. Mr.. Eiler spoke Of the
great charity work being done in
this State by the Masonic order and
told Of the grand things being &C
complished at the Oxford orphan
age, fer the benefit of which the pic
mic was given. He severely denounc-
ed the gifts coming from large
trusts and corporations for charita-
BILE and educational institutions. He
maintained that in giving to educs-
tional institutions the corporations
dictated the policy to be pursued
and the course Of study to be
taught, and cited in proof of his
statement the recent call for the
resignation of the president of Brown
University, on account of his finan-
cial views. Mr.. Eller commended
the Quakers for their recent opposi.
ton to the gift of the Messrs. Duke
of Durham, to Guilford College, and
spoke of that gift as blood money
THE CAUCASIAN wishes to commend
Mr.. Eller's wisdom and courage. Thi,
writer was at College with Mr.. Eller-
we graduated in the same class. W.
regard him as one of the ablest yc1nf
lawyers in the State. The State ant
the country needs the courage ant
ability of such men at this time. TIL,
gold ring and the trusts are not only
making gifts to churches and colleges
in the north with a view to controllin,
them, but they are doing the sam,
thing in this State.
Harperss Weekly gold and mo
nopoly organ, no doubt hat
this scheme to capture and per
vert our schools in view, whel
it published an editorial in last week
issue lamenting that it would be SOM
time before the south could be brough
around to Sound money"
at is through the influence of school
and colleges of the best character tina
southern men who are now assailin,
the standard of value will be succeed
ed by q new generation who will stant
up for the financial honor of the coun
try and for the rights of capital, etc.
If our people sit still and submit t
the capturing of our schools and col
leges by the gold trust and tn
nonopolies, then they will poison tn
sources of truth and pervert the mind
of the young men of the rising genera
ton.
The hope that has always inspire
US to keep up the gigantic struggle t
throw off the crushing yoke of ban
and monopoly domination, has bee
that sooner or later the moral influ
ences of society would line up wit
the people. This the monopolies an
gold trust have feared. Hence til
gold ring and the trusts are trying t
induce the church officers and preach
ers and the heads of the colleges to &C
cept part of their ill gotten gains a
hush money.
Christ found the money changer
carrying on their oppressive and in
famous business in the temple. VIII
did the officers OF the church allo,
them to carry on their robbery unde
the protection Of the church, Bscaus
the money changers were dividing
profits with the priests. Christ drov
tbs money changers from the temple
Why do not his disciples Of the pressn
day thunder from their pulpits sgaine
the polluting touch OF the modern
money changers' Why1
