ANOTHER BIG TRUsT-THE CAUSE

ANOTHER BIG TRUST-THE CAUSE
AND THE REMEDY.
One Of the latest trusts to be organ
ICED ia the Gluscoe TRUST. 1t is CAPT
talized at So, 0o0, 009, while the actual
property represented by the trust is
less than $7OOOO00. The people may
look out soon to see prices raised by
this trust, and the wages Of their em-
ployees lowered. The trust will try
to Justify itself before the public with
claiming that it was not making .
. good dividend and that it was neces-
sary to make both ends meet. They
will publish 4 statement of their BUSH
ness to prove this. That is, they will
publish statement showing that they
are making little less than six per
cent profit on So, OOO, 10000 which will
be IS per cent on the real property in
vested, which is little less than ST.
00O, 10000.
1t is this way with every monopoly
and trust. They are constantly de-
claring that they ere not making both
ends meet, while they are making
from thirty to 6fty and in some cases
one hundred per cent prot3t on wa
tered stock. But this thing will con-
tinue and grow from bad to worse IN.
til the Peoples Party platform 10 en-.
acted into law, or rather until that
part of the Peoples Party platform
WHICH demands that all of the instru-
ments of Gommerce shall be used a.
public fanctione, 10 enacted into law.
This is the only remedy Tor trusts, and
the Peoples Party is the only party
that has ever offered the proper rem
edy. When majority OF the voters
understand what causes trusts. and
make up their minds that they want
to get rid of them by applying the
only cure for the evil, then the major
ity OF the voters viii repadiate the dis.
honest politicians OF the Two old par
ties who have been lying to them
about the causes that produce trusts.
In short, they will become Popalists
and elect Populist President aud 4
Populist Congress.

THE FACTS vs.. DEMOCRATIC CLAIMS.
As our readers know, the Democratic
machine, under the direction of "Secret
Circular" Simmons, planned what they
called "Big Democratic Rallies" at q
large number of points in the State on
August Sd. The Democratic dailies
of the State contained what they
claimed to be reports of these meetings
in their issues of the 4th and 9Th.
These sO-called reports claimed that
there were tremendous meetings at
every point. The terms used to de-
scribe the meetings were "vast crowds, y
~ great rally" "a tremendous out
pouring of the people" "unprecedent-
ed enthusiasm" etc. The report from
Duplin county as published in the
News and Observer began as follows
"kENANsvILLE, N. c., August s.
Especial. )-There was great Demo-
cratic rally in Dnplin county, at Ken
ansville yesterday, at which Hon. w.
II. Allen, of GoldsborO, and Hon.
Charles X. Thomas, Democratic nOmi-
nee for Congress. Third District, spoke.
The number Of people in attendance
was the largest, with one exception,
an old citizen of Duplin says, ever seen
In Duplin county"
This was published under big head
lines announcing a mammoth meeting
in Duplin county and tremendous en-.
thusiasm. We notice that the report
claims that the largest crowd ever
seen in the county, with but one ex-
ception, turned out to hear the speak.
ere.
Now what are the facts ab0nt this
Duplin meeting? In another column
read q communication from Kenans-
Vile which shows that there were
'eighty EIGHT men who turned out to
hear the speakers, and that they adj
journed from their speaking place and
went over to the "bone-yard," where q
number of people had gathered. horse
swapping, and to hear the jokes Of q
patent medicine vender, and tried to
speak to those people who did not care
to hear them.
The'reports from other places are, no
doubt, rs much exaggerated and "a far
from the truth n this report. We no.
tice that in every one of the reports
there 10 . statement like the following
"S0me P0pulists who were present
were heard to say after the speaking
chat they would hereafter vote the

THOSE WHO LIVE IN GLASS HOUSES,
ETC.
One Of fairest and most decent Dem
Ocratic newspapers in the State is the
Farmers Friend. Therefore we are
surprised to see in it the following
editorial:
We suggest thst to speakers that the
most vulnerable point of attack in the
enemy's line is the judiciary. The deg
radiation Of the State in this respect,
not alone from the outside attacks of
the Federal judiciary, but from the in.
herent weakness of many of the pres
ent occupants of the States bench,
affords q large field for the best talent
Of the stump. There are votes to be
had from this discussion. The judges
come close to the people, and they are
not content with the present lot.
The above extract was, of course
at once caught up by all of the Clevs-
landite and monopoly Democratic pa
pers and paraded with much gusto.
Opinions are worth nothing when not
based on facts. Now what are the
facts? One mao cannot be judged or
compared very we'll with himself. 1t
is the same way with . party or State
administration. To judge An officer or
a State administration properly it is
generally necessary to compare him or
it with some preceding officer or State
administration. Now if the present
administration is to be attacked for IN
com petence or drunkenness, it will be
we'll to compare it with the preceding
one. No person now on the bench or
no member of the present admir- istra-
ton has found it necessary to go to
Kelley to try to make . decent officer
out of drunkard or sot. Everybody
knows that it was necessary for three
or four members of the preceding ad-
minlstration to 60 to Kelley.
We think every fair-minded man in
the State will admit that we never had
better, fairer, more representative
Supreme Court than We now have. One
member of this court vas Democrat
but his pre-eminent. fitness for the DO
siriOn was recognized by the Peoples
Party, and it was the Peoples Party
that was instrumental in his election,
There is but one Democratic Judge
whose term expires this year who is
pre-eminently At to serve on an able,
fearless and n0n-psrtisan judiciary,
and The CAUCASIAN Is in favor Of re-
electing him. If he is reelected he,
like the Democratic member of the Su.
preme Court, will owe his election to
the Peoples Party, or rather to Lis Pc
culiar fitness for the position, which
caused the Peoples Party to support
him.

what TEE CAUCAsIAs said. We said
that the election Law which certain
Republicans and the boiling Popalists
tried TO pass Was infamous. We said
further that ~ infamous ~ that pro-

But the present election law is not
the one that these Democratic imita-
tors attempted to pass. IL is vastly
better than the one they tried to pass.
Still We admit that the present law IL
not what it ought to be. In fact it
does not contain one Of the vitality e.
sential elements Of fair and honest
election law. There never has been

has representatives. on ali election
boards and has the right to select its
own registrars, judges Of election, and

principles c0ntended for IN the cam
psign of 1894, and which were enacted
in the election law Of 1896 were not
only guarantee to each political party
representation on oil election boards
but gave to each party the absolute
power to name it's own election officers
This was the fairest election Law that
the State has ever had. In fact, moth
ing could be fairer or more just; and
the Peoples Party is in favor of re.
enacting this provision which was
struck out Of the election law by 4
combination of certain parties in the

Stories of Admiral Dewey the hero
of Manila continue to float across
the water to the country that Is so
proud of him. Soon after Major Gen
eral Merritt reached Manila he be-
gan to experience trouble with the
insurgents. Aguinaldo was not dis
posed to pay much beed to the Gen

plicated matters more or less by en-
deavoring to avoid any clashing of
the American with the insurgent
forces. The situation was becoming
somewhat strained when General
Merritt sought a conference with Adj
miral Dewey on the Olympia. The
General and the Admiral discussed
the situation at great length. the
former giving special attention to
the question of jurisdiction in the

At the present time when, ma
val matters are source of great
interest to the general public, one
continually finds the terms "displace-
ment" and tonnage" improperly
used, both in the daily press and in
common speech. The confusion be-
tween the terms would not occur if
their meaning were understood.
displacement" refers to the quanti-
ty of liquid displaced by the miners
ed hull of the ship, and tonnage" to
the freight-carrying capacity of the
ship, determined by certain rules OF
measurement.
The displacement of a vessel is the
entire weight of the hull, with all of
its contents, according to the we'll
known law of hydrostatics that a
floating body displaces a weight of
fluid just equal to it's own weight.
A ship sinks in the water to such a
level that the pressure of the fluid
displaced exactly counterbalances
the weight OF the ship.-Engineering
