For The CAUcAsIAS.l
According TO the instruction al
given out by the different National
ChAirmen of the different politica
parties in order to consolidate the
silver forces, it appears difficult to q
correct conclusion what is going tG
be done in this matter.
First let US see. Does the Demo.
cratic party in this State mean to be
honest; / believe there is a large
portion in that party that really
wants bimetallism, and would really
vote for it. But let us see who il
now controlling that element: W.
can only Judge by the action of thei,
primary and convention that ap.
points the delegates to the different
conventions to be held in the State
/ Io.ice that they have appointed
the same delegates in our county tina,
they appointed in '94 and SO with
few exceptions. Now if there is any
change why is this done. To my
mind it looks like it did in "a and '96
that there must be the same infu.
ence leading them now that led them
then, and If there is not q change
brought about, or some pow. rsul in.
fiuence by the silver element in thai
party between now and the State con.
vention of that party, the goldbue
element will capture the whole con
vention when it meets in Raleigh
It looks now as if there is an ins uffi.
cient number of silver men in the
delegation to control the conven.
ton.
Now if there is a free silver ele-
ment sufficient in force to contro
them let that influence be brought t.
bare and We will see division in the
party and that will be the dividing
of the ways, the forks of the road
will be reached, and the Ransom
and Cleveland machine Democrats
will go where they belong-to thu
Republican party. In my opinion
until this is done there will be no CO.
operation with the Populist party.
Chairman Jones advocates coop
GRAFTON with all the silver forces, anl
by doing so We can be able to estab
lish bimetallsm in 1900. But l an
thinking strongly that his party i.
not going to listen this time to Mr.
Jones. Their minds are so absor roet
in "white supremacy" and "whit,
metal" that they lose sight of tn
real object in which the great mass
es of the American people are s,
much interested; and by the influ
ence of Wall street and money aut
the neglect of the press to inform tn
people, it will be lost cause and mo
nopoly will fasten its teeth upon tn
| thr0ats of the productive classes O
| the American people ard suck th
life blood of the nation, and thi
great and grand old republic will b
changed from republic to an en-
pire.
Renember Egypt, with master
over them, and with many stripe
upon their bare backs. Let US com
and lay down all party feeling i
this matter and be free men, don
wait for other nations to dictate t
us what We shall do; don't wait o
England for bimetalism, if you d
we will never get it. We can hav
bimetalism If we try to unite, bu

the republic will be lost forever.
1 1t Is a matter of much concern an
it is the duty of every man to Sc
that no other political party sha
step between you and your country
welfare. Any man that will not joi
Ius in this noble undertaking and FIRE
the great wealth producer is not wo
thy to be called an American citlz Q,
that man cares nothing for human
| ty and is only after piunder, and N
thing but pie hunter and should (
branded as such. The Democrat
party will have to cleanse itself {
that goldbug element that is clain
ing to be for free silver, but real
goldbugs sailing under disguise.
i l believe that the Populist par
: would be willing to cooperate wi
any party that means to be honest
> trying to bring about honest refor
! and placing back silver to its form
place where it was before it was d
monetized in 1898.
The Populist party was organic
: in order to show to the people th
our finances were disturbed by m
e hostile to use of free silver, and
8 the government issue of the mon
i and making it a legal tender. A
s the Populist party will continue

J and when that is done the mission

q white supremacy and white m
is al" means Democratic suprema,
it plutocracy, the single gold stands
l. and oppression.
