pRIurCHARD ANSWERS HIMSELF

Chatham Record.
Senator Pritchard's speech in favor of
his resolution in the Senate, as officially
reported in the Congressional Record,
contains a wilful and malicious SANDER
on the Democratic party in this State
which he well knew to be utterly with
out foundation, and which, in another
part of his speech, he himself uninten-
tionally completely refuted.
This SANDER is in these words:
'"There has never been moment since
the adoption of the constitution in 1868
when it has not been the intention OF
the leaders of the Democratic party to
do all in their power, if the opportunity
should present itself, to amend our con-
stitution so as to restrict the right Of
suffrage, and, if possible, prevent the
Door and illiterate white people of that
State from exercising that privilege"
When Senator Pritchard uttered these
words he knew they were not true, and
none but a foul-mOuthed dema gogue
would have been guilty of so unfounded
and unjust SANDER against men who
could not be present to denounce it and
him. The idea of the Democratic party
ever since 1868 having the intention to
disfranchise the poor and illiterate
white people" of North Carolina.
The Democratic party in North Caro-
line can proudly point to it's past his
tory in proof of its protection of and
devotion to the poor and illiterate white
people of this State. And it is but nat
ural that the Democratic party should
have been and will continue to be the
best friend and protector of the poor and
illiterate white people, for large major
ity of them are Democrats themselves.
What party advocated Stree suffrage
and gave the poor white men of North

BY "those who suffer from such a
perversion of republican government"
we mean the Bryan Democrats of the
Union. for it is plain to the student OF
current events, including those for the
past year in Kentucky, that this Ken
lucky affair is but part of the general
scheme to defeat Bryan. 1t was stated
at the outset of the contest for the
Governorshop of that State that, unless
Goebel were installed where he right
fully belonged, in the executive chair
and therefore in the control of the mill
tia. the vote of Kentucky would never
be cast for Bryan. no matter what the
vote might in truth be.

MIR. WITHERsPOoNs PosITIO,
If the Free Silver Forces Unite, He Wi
Join Them; Otherwise Vote the Re-
publican Ticket.
To the Editor of the Observer:

To the Editor of the Observer:
/ have of late noticed two references
to me in your paper indicating that
had made a political summersault.
| presume it arose from the fact that
| have said that if the free silver forces
in this country came together in the
next national contest | would support
the move with my ballot, which |
shall do. / also said that if there was
not substantial union of these forces
that I should vote the Republican tick
et and | am satisfied that | shall not
change my views. Upon the money
question / have always been a Populist
All anti-national bank and free coinage
men are Populists upon the money ques
ton and they should not be offended by
being referred to as such. 1t is quite
evident that the controlling influences
of both of the dominant parties are OPP
posed to the free coinage of silver, and
the man that votes for either of them
with the expectation of seeing absolute
free coinage is indulging in q. dream.
Since demonstration, however. the
Republican party has, by it's legislation
shown more friendliness for silver than
the Democrats have, and 1 am one that
ed to power it will give to silver re-
cognition. 1t may not give it that re-
cognition that its extreme friends may
desire, but it will lift it from its pres
emit position of complete and absolute
prostration. Yours truly,
L. L. WITHERSPOON.
Newton, n. c., june Is 1895.
The man who believed that "when the
Republican party is returned to power
it will give to silver recognition.
will lift it from its present position of
COMPLETE AND ABSOLUTE
PROSTRATTON"-the man who had
such a faith in the money power party,
is curious sort of Democrat. In the
light of the financial bill that passed the
House in December, how has the Re
publican party taken silver from it's
| COMPLETE AND ABSOLUTE
PROSTRATION?" The man who could
believe there is even mustard seed of
virtue in the Republican party is the
kind of man who can be persuaded that
If negroes are placed in office they will
not prove offensive. 1t is needless to
say that there was rude awakening of
such faith in 1898, and it aroused the
white men of the State to the necessity
of making it impossible again.

War TARIFF TO REMAIN
The Gabinet Discusses the Reduc-
tiOn of Revenues.
Despite the Enormous Receipts of
the Government the Surplus Is Not
Large Enough to warrant Material
Decentralization TO Recommend
Gradual and Careful Cutting Down


The President has settled down to hard
work on the preparation OF his annual
message TO Congress, and accordingly the
Cabinet meeting this morning was largely
spent in discussing the character of the
document Most of the Cabinet members
have practically completed their individ-
ual reports, and IN consequence they were
able 70 discuss the general situation.
The question of cutting down the most
onerous features of the internal revenue
war measures received serious considera-
ton The President was somewhat dis
appointed with the prospects. He had
hoped that the immense revenues of the
Government would permit of making ma
terial reductions in the war taxes. The
information furnished by Secretary Gage,
however. gave little hope that supstan-
tial cut could be made.
The surplus during four months and
half in the present fiscal year has been less
than s.. 600 000. although the receipts have
been S215, ,00a, COO The same ratio would
provide a surplus of only about $50, ,0oo, 600
for the entire fiscal year. 1t is believed
that the President in his message to Con-
gress viii not advise a reduction of war
taxes to an extent of more than gI2, ,OOo 900
or $15, ,00e, 600 a year. To reduce the rev
enue in a greater degree than that would
give too narrow margin of receipts above
the imperative expenditures
Although the outlook is not so prom
ising as had been hoped, the Cabinet off,
GERS were Of the opinion that some cuts
could be made in various items of the
war revenue measure. The stamp tax on
+. small articles of commonest use VIII
probably first De reduced.
Secretary Long reported progress on
his negotia tions fer armor plate He is
well pleased with the terms he has prac-
ticaily secured from the contractors. Mr.
/ Long announced after the meeting that
negotiations had not been quite com
pieted fer the purchase OF armor pla e.
but that he hoped to have all arrange
ments concluded during this week.
! The Chinese question received its usual
share Of attention but nothing decisive was
done. Secretary Hay announced that this
Government had not received any eonhrma-
tion OF the report that the ENJOYS in Pelzin
+ had agreed upon preliminary demand to
/ be made upon the Chinese Government. Ac-
cording 10 a despatch from Dr. Morrison,
published in the London Times this
morning. the terms included the execu-
/ ton Of eleven nigh Chinese officials. and
