sILvEE FOR TIE "NI0CKR."
The following editorial from the
Charlotte Observer Of Nov. 11th il
very significant. It contains q con-
fsssion Of thing often charged by
the Peoples Party and often denied
by the machine leaders. II il N
follows
=" The first suggestion The Obser-
yer ever heard-It must have been 4
year ago-as to the policy OF the
Democratic party for the campaign
Of 1893, was from Heriot Clarkson,
Esq., one Of the representatives, elect
from this county to the next legisla-
ture, and it was that the fight should
be made on the color line. Mr.. Clark
SOD, . member Of the State Demo-
cratic Executive Committee, pro
posed this policy to the committee at
q meeting in the early spring OF this
year, and it went through by q ma
jority of only two. 1t has proved to
be winning policy, and in COMMON
justice and fairness we make public
Mr.. Clarkson's record on it,"
From the above it will be seen
that over one year ago the Democrat
ic State Committee. ma ority Of
which was against Bryan and silver
held meeting in which they dis
cussed whether or not they would
rua the next campaign with silver as
the issue or with the negro as the il
sue. When a vote was taken it
seems that the negro was on top by
two msj GRITTY. If there had been two
or three more silver men on the COM
mittee We would have had . cam
paign with silver as the issue and
with the twenty thousand majority
who joined hands and carried the
State fer Bryan in 1896 united in
this campaign to win a victory for
silver by the same or a larger major
ity. This kind of campaign would
have been a high plane, all Of the
friction, filth, and blood-shed Of this
campaign would have been avoided;
it would have put all of the silver
men on one side and all Of the gold
bugs and monopolists on the other;
it would have put the negro forever
in tho background, and would have
made white supremacy absolutely
certain. But, as the Charlotte OBJ
server says, the Clevelandites con-
trolled the committee by two major
ity, hence this disgusting. deplora-
BILE, and shocking campaign.

RAILROAD PROFITS RIsING-FARM.
ERS PROFITS FALLING.


Dunn's Weekly Review of Trade "a
gold organ issued on the 18th inst.
says: RAILROAD earnings for October
have been 81 per cent larger than
last year and 8 per cent larger than
in 1892" Let it be remembered that
railroad earnings were large in 1899.
Here is a statement from a gold and
railroad organ to the effect that their
earnings are per cent larger now.
The railroad earnings in North Caro-
lima have been above the average. In
1892 cotton was selling for nine cents.
1t is now selling for less than five cents.
The railroads are now charging as
high freight and passenger rates as
they did in 1882. This means that
the farmer must give to the railroads
two pounds of cotton for riding TIE
same distance or for haulitg the can.
amount OF freight that one pound of
cotton paid for in 1892. The farmer
has lost fifty per cent in the price of
bis products under the gold standard.
Why should not the freight and pas
senger rates Of railroads also be re-
duced fifty per cent or more to the
gold standard level? The profits of
the farmers and all producers are fall
Jog every day, yet the earnings of the
railroads. according to .Dunn's state
ment, gold and railroad organ) are
s per cent more now than last year
and per cent more than in 1882. Will
the next legislature reduce freight
and passenger rates to so per cent.
Will they reduce passenger rates to
two and 0ne-half cents for first-class
and two cents for second-classP This
is less than fifty per cents. We will
see.

RESULT IN NORTH CAROLINA.

The Democratic machine has ap-
parently carried the State by some
thing less than twenty thousand ma
jority. 1t 10 . clean cut and unqual-
lied corporation. victory. How has
1t been brought about, is the ques-
ton that every one asks. That is .
long story, and THE CAUCASIAN will
60 into details about it another time.
Suffice it to say that the Cleveland
ties and every railroad corporation
in the State that fought Bryan and
supported the gold standard in the
last campaign frst captured the
Democratic State Committee and by
. vote Of two majority, as admitted
by the Charlotte Observer, decided
to side-track silver and run . cam
paign in the interest Of monopoliss
behind the negro cry. These same
forces controlled the Democratic
State convention and succeeded in
dividing the silver forces. By in
timidatiou and violence, which has
resulted in blood-shed, and by the
Wholesale use Of money they have
succeeded in frightening or buying
or keeping from the polls about thir.
" thousand votes which has turned
. forty thousand majority against
them into twenty thousand major
ity for them. It took an immense
amount Of money to accomplish this
result, but the railroads willingly
put 1t up. There were several bills
before the last legislature, the pass
age Of which would have meant the |
reducing Of monopoly extortions
millions of dollars, and the conse-
quent saving to the people Of that
amount. or course the monopoliss
would have willingly put up q mill
ion to secure . legislature that would
bs absolutely with them. This they
have done. On the other hand, il
the silver forces had been united a.
they ought to have been land would
have been If the goldbug and rail-
road attorneys had not captured the
Democratic State convention) there
would have been high-toned, de-
cent campaign on issues, with all of ,
the silver men on one side and all ,
the gold men and monopolists on
the other. This would have brought !
together the men who carried the
Safe last year for Bryan by twenty {
thousand majority or more. 1t would ,
have been . white majority and a
SHORTY for silver and the people.
While the Democratic machine is
directly responsible for the defeat Of
such programe and for the horrible
md shocking campaign resulting
in violence and blood-shed through
whish We have just passed. yet it is
doubtful II their infamous conspira
~, even after the Democratic State
convention, could have succe eded
asd not the Peoples Party made
mistakes. This, however, We will
iiseuss in future issues.

new argument why such rolls should be
given to the public. Some of the ex-
cuses, however. of those who oppose this
step are so flmsy as to become ridiculous.
Among them is that of the Kansas City
Journal. which thinks that pensioners
would be called uponsto suffer unneces-
sary humiliation by thus advertising
them as dependents upon the nation
bounty, and adds that "one's sources of
income are his private matter, and no
one ordinarily cares to spread private
matters before the public" 4 he Journal
&C uld as sensibly argue that the salary of
any officer of the Government is private
matter, which the tax payer, who pays
it, has no right to know anything about.
The view of the Journal would make it
seem that pension is nothing more than
gratuity doled out to the poor, or II
charity the receiving of which humiliates
the receiver. The truth is, that the OBJ
jections to publicity of these lists will be
found 10 come from unworthy objects,
persons who know that they have no
CidliiA upou Tue dCu
who dread publicity through fear of hav-
ing their claims disallowed.
To the man whose war record is above
ieproach, nothing could give keener
pleasure than the knowledge that friends
and enemies alike would then have the
opportunity to cIiticise it; but there are
many who feel that were the fact tic be.
come known that they were claimant s
upon the Government for services rem.
dered, it would be to hold them mp tc rid
icule..in the eyes of their neighbours Such
thought is not pleasant ard very natu-
rally we find strong objections urged by
those who feel their unworthiness. The
publication of the pension rolls will be an
act of justice to those who have pension
and deserve it, and the country demands
it as n cans of checking the waste of
the public money Only those who are
biased or seduced by the direct or indi.
rect influence of unworthy pensions, will
be found in the opposition ranks

Just as we thought would be the case.
the sincerity and simplicity of Governor
Tyler's, inaugural adj lress have on for
him hearty praise from the lress through
out the State. Even those papers which
do not agree with him politically, have
little to say IN the way Of adverse criti-
cism. Governor Tyler fegius his admin
lstration under tlattering auspices, with
the good will of all classes of citizens, and
if the views he has advanced in his inau-
gural be adhered to, we predict for him
militant administration.
