What They Vote For.

The State Journal, the leading Republic
can paper east of Winston, which sup
ports the amendment, sums up what the
white man votes for who votes against
the amendment in a way that will ap-
peal to Republican and independent
voters. We quote:
1.-The white man that votes against the
amendment votes TO retain the like Of
George White in Congress, and Isaac
Smith in the Legislature, and he endorses
the appointment Of negro postmasters and
negro revenue officers in the east.
'sIIe votes to appoint Lee Person,
Cheatham and the various other negroes
to lucrative positions in Washington in
stead of white men.
''He votes for negroes to occupy official
positions in State and Federal depart
ments, on a social and political equality
with white officials.
HE votes to continue negro maiorities
in a number of eastern counties.
"He votes to continue the danger of ne
gro rule in the entire east.
'sHe endorses negro officials in eastern
counties.
"He votes to prevent political freedom
in the east.
HE votes to continue dishonest election
methods.
HE votes to give perpetual control to
Democratic politicians.
"He votes for continual Republican de-
feat.
HE votes to continue the machinery
of the Republican party and the Federal
patronage in the hands of second class,
corrupt and unprincipled political hench-
men.
''He votes to drive every honest, intel
ligent and respectable white Republican
of the east out of the party.
''He votes for the running of all Re-
publican conventions in the east by ne
groes.
HE votes for negroism instead OF
Anglo-Saxonism.
"IIe votes for ignorance instead of in
telligence.
He votes curse on his posterity.
HE votes to doom, blight and curse
one-half of the State.
HE votes to kindle the fires of blood
shed, racial war, hatred and prejudice
He votes to endanger the noble
motherhood and fair womanhood of the
State.
HE votes to give unbridled reign to
political and individual passions and de-
based lust of the ignorant, insolent and
vicious negro of the east"

TO SWINDLE THE STATE.
Negroes Move Up Their Age to Escape the
Poll-Tax.
(Webster's Weekly

Hon. r. B. Glenn writes the Winston
Journal that down east, where he is can
vassing, the Democrats have unearthed
a scheme of the Radicals to swindle the
State out of poll tax. They had a num-
Der of negroes to move up their age
above fifty. The Democrats turned to
the registration books and established
the fraud and had the negroes bound
over to court for perjury. The poor dupes
tried to have their names taken off, but
they will have to answer at court. Mr..
Glenn warns Democrats up this way to
look out for this and other tricks of the
enemy. One negro has already been
caught in Reidsville. Upon applying for
registration he gave his age as so. A
Democrat standing by told him ironically
that he was older than that; that he
would have to pay poll tax if he was only
so this year. The negro thought mo-
ment and said he was mistaken-he was
81. An examination of the registration
book of 1898 showed that he gave his
age then as 81. Thus we have the scheme
to vote negroes against the Amendment
and swindle the school fund out OF the
tax they should pay for the education of
their children. White men, be on your
guard.

Nothing is more pregnant with civic
damnation than the third party move
ment which swell the cry of confus-
ion in American politics this year.
There are four of these movements,
possibly five-the Anti-Imperialists,
the Middle-of-the-Road Populists, the
Socialists and the Prohibitionists.
Later there may be Gold Democrat
party in the field again:
These third parties are principally
instrumentalities for the promotion of
political cowardice, and are plain evil
dences of local degeneracy in America.
Every sane American citizen knows
that the next President of the United
States will be either William Mckinley
or William Jennings Bryan. A vote
for any third party candidate is half
a vote for Mr.. Mckinley or half a vote
for Mr.. Bryan. What is a citizen
worth who gives only half vote to
his country? What sort of patriotism
is that which contents itself with half
it's duty in a time of great national
peril? When the voice of governments
and of far-reaching vital politics lies
between two candidates-one or the
other of whom must WINS it not
civic treason to shirk the duty of de-
Gliding which candidate of the two is
the best or the worst, AS the case may
be?
The third party movements simply
make towards and hypocrites of the
leaders of the two leading parties be-
tween whom the real battle lies. The
ALiddle-of-the-Road Populists and the
Socialists threaten and harass the
Democratic party, while the Anti-Im-
perialists and Prohibitionists intimi-
date the Republican party. The lines
which should divide the two actual
contestants in the struggle for control
of the government are confused by the
semi-neutrality of the third parties.
Whatever may be said of demogog-
ueS to the contrary, the fact remains
that the real question to be decided in
the present campaign is whether or
not this nation is to become colony
owning empire controlled by trusts.
That is. the actual issue. The finan-
cial question is as dead as Julius Gaze
sar. But our armies are day and night
engaged in the work of subjugating
distant colonies. We are all paving
war taxes. We are shedding the blood
of our citizens as well as the blood
of strangers to extend trade. This is
not speculative situation. 1t exists.
Is it to continue? Industrial combina-
tions such as the world has never
dreamed of in the past are making it
impossible for young men to become
independent proprietors in America.
This, too, is present and fragrant
evil. Is it to continue to strange am
bition and opportunity and to overawe
the government?
The citizen who believes in the es-
tablishment of colonies under the
American flag and the encouragement
of the trust system is coward and a
traitor to his country if he allows any
minor issue or consideration to pre-
vent him from voting for Mr.. McKin-
lev. And the elector who believes that

OLD TIMES IN GATES
Greatest Political Demonstra
ton Since the War.
Kitchin, Mclean and Pou Enhuse Acres Of
People. A Fine Dinner For All and
Splencid Music.

Especial to the News and Observer
Gainesville, n. c., July 2S.-The
grand rally at Gatesville today was
a complete success. 1t was the great
est political demonstration ever seen
here since the war. The crowd was
estimated away up in the thousands,
and the ladies came in great numbers,
and graced the occasion with their
presence.
The procession was formed at the
foot of Main street, and extended back
on the Edenton Road for about mile,
and marched through the principal
streets in the following order: The
chief marshal, General Roberts, with
seven assistants. The Phoenix band
of music from Suffolk, Va, two floats
with ladies, carriages with the speak
a long line of vehicles of various
kinds.
The line of march ended at the
court house door, in front of which a
platform and seats mad been arranged
for the speaking.
The court house was reserved for
the ladies, and it was filled to it's
utmost capacity, and the crowd of
men in front and on the street in
both directions was immense. A
choir of dozen young ladies alter
mated with the band, and sang the
songs that North Carolinians love to
hear.
But the event of the day was the
speaking, and that vast crowd was
entertained for three hours and over
with three as good speeches as any
one would want to hear in one day
The most appreciative attention and
the most enthusiastic applause greet
ed each speaker. 1t is not often that
three as good speakers can be gotten
together at the same place on the
same day as these: ID. H. Mclean,
W. H. Kitchin and Jas. H. Pou, and
they spoke in the order in which they
are named. They were all at their
best, and they all did their best, and
they will all be remembered by the
people of Gates county.
After the speaking dinner was serv-
ed for all.
1t was big day for Gates, and
we are going to keep the ball rolling
until the sun goes down on election
day, and we are going to roll up a
good old-time Democratic ma ority
in Gates.

not live when the excitement is over.
You have that over-capitalization to
look at in the eye. Trade is always
going on, but that is not going to help
you if you have overcapitalization."
Would you tell something about

On this particular subject Mr.. Keene
was very strong.
There never" he said, ''has been
anything like it in the world since the
days of the South Sea scheme. Every
one in it--promoters, bankers, brokers

''Dou you believe in a general trust
smash, so often spoken of here?"
IF You had to reproduce Them" he
replied. somewhat cautiously, you
could do it 80 per cent. cheaper"
Then they, too, like railroads, are
overcapitalized? ?"
There is going to be-" replied Mr..
Keene, "a struggle during the next 20
years with these trusts, just as there
has been with the railroads. The di-
rectors have pocketed the surplus
similarly, and thousands of millions
in securities have been added to the
general volume during the last few
years"

Josiah on the Amendment.
(By Jay D. Bee.)

(By Jay d. Bee.)
I've studied about this amendment
And looked the thing all through,
And I've decided to vote for 1t,
AS a white man ought to do.
For I'VE found all the niggers against it,
And the revenue doodlers, too,
And the scum of all creation,
And the pie-eating paps few.
A white mans country should be gov
erned,
Nv white men tried and true,
And not by ignorant niggers,
AS Buffers trying to do.
It's all stuff and nonsense,
About white man losing his vote,
It's rot given out by Holton,
And his hirelings have got 1T by notes
They say if passed it won't stand
The wise judges will set it at naught,
If so why do they fight it,
Why then this battle be fought?
Why not set back on their launches
And save their money and breath,
And let the good people pass it,
And their judges condemn it to death?
Now here's the whole thing in nutshell:
The Amendment to them means this:
When the ignorant niger quits voting,
It's lots of pie they'll miss.
-
So let white men do their duty,
And save our State from ruin,
BY passing the Amendment,
AS our sister States are doing.

NOT MONEY ENOUGH.
"Then the position is?"

Then the position is?"
six hundred million dollars have
been made in the last three years. but
not three hundred millions of fresh
money have been place in circulation.
How are you going to do it? How
can business be conducted with ali
those floating securities? All nations
today demand gold. Five thousand
millions of silver for business purposes
have been withdrawn. If that money
could be restored, just look how you
could coal up! Look at the conse-
quent depression in India and in the
United States of silver.
''In the United States, to take a
conservative figure, the property of
the country from all manner of things
which the industry and the money of
the people have created each year in
creases by $4,000. 100000. Add to the
increases of England and France and
you reach $4,000, 100000 of property
added each year, and added to the al
ready existing volume.
Now, what we want to ascertain is
how fast is the circulating medium
how fast is embarrassing.
Remember, the supply from South
Africa has been very much curtailed
of late but the supply of gold is in
creasing by $40,000,000 per annum
When you come to think of the in
creases of property by 10 to 10 hun
dred millions among the people l ask
where does the money come from to
buy such property?
HE TALKS BIMETALLISM.
"You understand people build up
properties that they may sell them.
When a man who has developed with
land, fenced it in and built his farm.
wants to sell it, who is going to buy?
Where is the money. when silver is
stricken out of its real value and its
equality with gold is destroyed"
Are you then in favor of bimetal
lism?" / asked Mr. Keene.
Il do not. favor reconciliation I'M
less the governments agree.
"Bimetallism is just as much ten
ct of faith with Republicans as with
Democrats. The only thing is, the Re
publicans evade the issue; the Demo
Gratis do not. The Republicans join
in the nonsensical cry of dishonest
money.
1.-THE great proposition / hold to is
that agriculture is the base of the
prosperity of the country-that and
such collateral things as beef, pork
and lard. You may attempt to evade
the proposition, but it is of no use.
Bad crops give bad stock markets;
good crops give good stock markets.
Without them you have no prosperity
We have been increasing our exports
of manufacturers goods in a way
which is very fiattering, but the in
crease has been made at the expense
of the American, who has paid very
high for it, because the tariff is ex-
cessive Our manufacturing business
is on stills. Americans paying 80 per
cent. more for manufactured goods
than they should.
