We notice that General IOke in an
interview says that he is strongly of
the opinion that the government should
build an armOr plant and make its own
armor plate for vessels. Every man
who is conversant with the facts and
who feels the interests in government
and justice to the taxpayers alone, the
selfish interests Of fraudulent and
greedy trust must be of the same Opin-
ion. The Editor of The CAUCASIAN,
ever since he has been in Congress, has
been exposing the robbery and frauds
perpetrated on the government by the
armor trust, not only in excessive high
price, but also in inferior and defective
armOr. AT the last session of Congress
Senator Butler prevented million dol
lar 81 900 O00) steal from getting thro'
Congress aud put through resolution
directing the Navy Department to in
vestigate the cost etc, of erecting a
Inst class government armOr plate fac
tory and report to Congress at the ses-
sior which met last Monday.

Two big trusts have been formed du-
ring the last week, one is coal trust

IL sewer pipe trust with capital Of
$35,O00,O COO, yet the Democratic anti
trust law and the Republican anti

Trusts can never be rooted out till the
causes that produce trusts-the gold

oly-are removed. Those who are

THE BASE AND MALICIOUS LIE NAIL
ED WITH MORE AFFIDAVITS.

ED WITH MORE AFFIDAVITS.
Last week we published seventee n
aflldavits branding squarely the base
and malicious lie started by that gold
bug Rocky Mount paper about our
speech there. The aildavits were not
ofthe "in substance" kind, but they
were pointed, clear, explicitand posi-
tive. They not only branded the lie,
but they testified to the absolute cor
rectness of the signed editorial in The
CAUCASIAN stating what we did say
and did not say. The character of
the men making the affidavits, the
number Of ailidavits, the pointed and
explicit language of the affidavits
made the testimony complete and
overwhelming.
All of this was published in The
CAUCASIAN a week ago. Up to that
time, the gold organs, the "nigger" or
gans, the railroad organs, and the sill
ver-plated organs had each day been
publishing with great prominence the
goldbug lie and commenting on it with
delirous ecstasy.
On last Thursday morning when the
complete conclusive evidence was pub
lished, they suddenly hushed. They
hushed, not because, having learned
the truth, they did not want to be
parties to circulating base and SAN
derous lie, but they hushed because
they were forced to and they did not
have the honesty to tell the truth,
Why do We say this? After fair and
just men are misled into circulating a
lie, but such men are always quick and
very Jealous in correcting the lie and
making amends for the wrongs unin-
tentionally done. This they have not
done.
There have been six issues of their
papers since but not one of them so
far as we have seen have had the fair
ness, the manhood, or the honesty to
publish our statements and these affi-
davits. Is this just? is this fair? is 1t
honorable? =.
The great masses of the people, part
of whom are the readers of these pa
pers, are honest and believe in Justice
and fair play. They are competent to
form opinions for themselves if they
be given the facts, and they prefer to
do so. They have right to expect and
demand that any neWspaper that ia
ft to go into their homes shall fairly
and impartially give the facts about
any thing worthy of mention in news
paper and there they will form their
own conclusions on a basis of facts.
Therefore Newspapers (no matter what
their opinions, and prejudlces or en-
may beg owe it to their
