THIS Is A GEM,

It is we'll known that Mr.. Bryan is a
JeT>rsonian Democrat in the fullest

Which is better, to thoroughly
cleanse and purify t. q blood just
now, or make yourself liable to
the many dangerous aim ents
which are so prevalent during
summer? Impurities have been
accommodating in the blood all
winter, and right now is the time
to get rid of them. A thorough
course of Swift's Specific is needed
to cleanse the blood and puri-
fy the system, toning up and
strengthening it all over. Those
who take this precaution now are
comparatively safe all summer;
but to neglect it is to invite some
form of sickness which is so COM

Mako Strong Protests.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April ~
The representatives of the Tobacco
Associations Of Virginia and North
Carolina; the J)bbers of the city Of
Baltimore. and the Wholesale Gro
GERS Association Of the State of Ohio
held meeting here to day to make
a systematic fight in the Senate
against the provision Of the proposed
revenue bill, imposing an increased
tax of six cents upon all tobacco in
the hands of the dealers, where q tax
OF six cents has previously been paid
under existing iaw.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1898-05-05

On last Friday evening the House
passed bill to raise revenue to carry on
the war against Spain. Every patriotic
American is in favor of raising suffi-
cient revenue to prosecute the war vigo-
.rously and to a successful conclusion,
but every honest and patriotict Ameri-
Can is also in favor of raising this rev.
euue in just and proper manner, in
favor Of raising it by . tax that will
require every one to pay according to
his means.
But what kind of bill has the Re-
publican administration put through
the House by party vote? 1t is bill
the chief purpose Of which is to in
crease the power and rule of national
banks, and to fasten the gold standard
more thoroughly upon the necks Of the
people. 1t is bill to tax the already
over-taxed masses, while allowing q
great majority of the wealth of the
country to pay practically nothing.
The bill provides for raising money
by taxation as follows:
Fermented liquors, $35 100000; to-
bacco, $15OOO,OOO; cigars, $4,000, 900;
dealers in tobacco and cigars, $5,OO0,-
900; stamp taxes, $4,000, 600; making
in all between ninety and one hundred
millions. This is all of the money to
bs raised by taxation, and the burden
Of this will fall upon the producing
and laboring masses.
But the largest amount of money to
carry on the war is to be raised by an
other means. There is a provision in
the bill authorizing the President to
sell Eve hundred million of interest
bearing bonds. The patriotic people
OF America have gone to war not only
to avenge the blowing up Of the Maine,
but to keep the patriotic Cubans from
being saddled and mortgaged with q
perpetual bond debt of over four hun
dred millions. But now comes this
goldbug and monopoly administration
Of ours and proposes to punish the pa.
triotic sentiment of the American peo-
pie by putting q bond mortgage on
Us of over five hundred millions
because we dared speak out fol
Cubsn liberty. In short, the bond
sharks and the gold syndicate
drst tried to prevent any action being
taken to free Cuba, 90 that the Spanish
bondholders could continue to bleed
that lsland, but when American indig'
nation had grown so strong that they
feared to resist it further, they tool
another tact, and now the bleeding
process 10 to be transferred to thu
American people, and our American
President joins in the conspiracy.

now Is THIS FOR CO-OPEHATION.
When the Republican bond scheme
was before the House on last Friday
the Populists, silver Democrats and
silver Republicans co-Operated to
strike that infamous section ont OF the
bill and insert in lieu thereof a pro-
vision for an issue Of legal tender
greenbacks. We quote from the Con-
gressional Record of April 10Th, page
1914:
Mr.. Bland: Mr.. Chairman, offer
the substitute l sent to the desk Tor
this section.
The substitute was read, as follows:
That the Secretary of the Treasury IL
hereby authorized and ire cted to cause to Dc
engraved and printed United States Treas
ury notes to the amount of $l5O. COG, COO
Said Treasury notes shall be q legal tender
In the payment of all debts, public and pri
vate. and be Issued in like denominations as
is now provided by law by United States
notes commonly called ''greenbacks." That
the Treasury notes herein authorized shall
be covered into the Treasury and paid out
from time to time in the discharge of pub
lie expenditures as the exigencies OF thu
Treasury may require.
Sec 2: That sufficient sum of money
Is hereby appropriated, out of any money
in this Treasury not otherwise appropriated
to carry this act into effect.
This greenback substitute for bond
was supported by every Populist. silver
Democrat and silver Republican. Die
they do right to cooperate for green,
backs and to defeat bonds? Certainly
Did they succeede There was no
enough of them in Congress. Thel
Why should not the voters who are op
posed to bonds and in favor o
greenbacks (who make a majority o
the vOters) JON hands--cO-Operate t.
send more such men to Congress-
elect q majority of Congress? This
the way to get greenbscks and to de
feat bonds.
or course all gold and monOpol
Democrats are fighting against such
cooperation, and, strange to sa!
some Populists are helping them.
May the Lord have mercy on thei
souls; they know not what they do.

Col. S. F. Norton in his paper the
Farmers Sentinel says:
We notice that many of the POpulist
papers are in favor of a nominating
convention next July. 1t strikes US
that there is plenty to do in the Con-
gressional campaign this year. We
have yet to hear the first sound reason
for two years. campaign"
In another editorial in the same pa
per he says:
"Some of our very highly esteemed
journalistic co-wOrkers seem to think
that their orthodoxy as middle Oft the
readers is to be measured by the
amount of abuse with which they heap
upon those who differ with them in
the policy of the Peoples Party"
Col. Norton was the candidate of the
mid-roaders for President at the last
national Convention.

SIMMONS AGAINST COOPERATION.
We see published in the Charlotte
Observer letter from Mr.. F. NJ. Sim
mons, in which he declares against CO.
operation as advised by Mr.. Bryan.
Mr.. Simmons favors the course which
the Charlotte Observer has been ad-
vocating, and says he is willing to be
Democratic State Chairman if there is
no co operation. This is just the posi-
ton that verybody expected Mr.. Sim
mons to take, for it is well known that
he is not at heart silver man; but, on
the other hand, is a Clevelandite and a
high up member of the Ransom ms :
chine. He was chairman of the Dem
ocratic State Executive Committee in
1892 when the Democratic party sold
out to the goldbugs by nominating
Grover Cleveland for President, 1t
was he who made the ruling that any
man who would not support Cleveland
was not Democrat and could not af-
filiate with the party. 1t was when
this position was taken by the Ran
som and Cleveland goldbug machine
in North Carolina that thousands up
on thousands of Democratic voters re
volted and went into the Peoples par.
ty. Mr.. Simmons and those of bis kind
are not Democrats of the Jeffersonian
and Bryan stripe, aud if the Democrat.
ic party is to stand by the principles
thatsMr. Bryan advocates the quicker
it deposes and puts in the background
such so-called leaders as Mr.. Simmont
the better.
We notice that Col. Waddell has al.
so written letter opposing co-opera.
tion as suggested by Mr.. Bryan. HI
published his letter in the goldbus
railroad organ known as the Raleigh
Post. This does not surprise US eth
er. Col. Waddell declined to make ,
silver speech in 1895 for the reason
that he was employed as attorney b,
certain parties who were opposed t,
silver. Is it not the same infiuenc,
that controls him now?

Ifthere is any man at your county
convention who is extremely anxious
to 60 as delegate 10 the State con-
ventiOD, and Who does not seem TO be
concerned at all about the cost, it
would be we'll enough to hesitate about
sending him as a delegate unless his
honesty and devotion to true Populist
principles is beyond question. Any
POpulist who is opposing a co-opera-
ton Of ali who are opposed to gold
and monopoly can get . free pass if he
will take it, and no doubt he could get
the cash be ides if he would accept it,
There are no doubt hundreds of true
POpulists who have their doubts about
the wisdom OF such 4 CO operation land
We have no quarrel with such men)
but let it be remembered that however
honest they may be the fact still re-
mains that they favor the very policy
that every goidbug and monopolist il
the State favors. Let it also be re
membered that every bOlter from tn
party in the last legislature favor
this gOldbug policy. In fact SO man!
bad men are in favor of the defeat o

men to stop and think.

of our government by the g I'D sy ndi-
cate and monopoly rings, wherever
such cooperation can be had on

parties to the cooperation.
