The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1904-11-03


IL .o Have ra~y sn4 Been f.as~ for sa~
f..ss Twelve Y@~rss
Are The pemocrsts sincere noss
If al, have they not been false In
what they advocated In the last
twelve year, in denouncing trust
monopoly, etc;
Mr.. Bryan waa sincere IN his
fight against them and there were
hundr. ds Of thousands of honest
men whom he led tc believe tfaa,
the Democratic party was sincere
then. but since IL has been captured
soul and body by the Shs locks Of
Wall Street, entirely repudiating
what the party declared the great
and threatening evil. of our republic,
namely, trust control, these people
who were honest then in believing
the patty was sincere are still TOO
honest and intelligent not to rise up
aud repudiate the party under The
leadership Of Hill, Belmont, the
Standard Oil Company and their
kind, who are trying To hasten the
teiters OF the trust upon them.
Why have these MONEY sharks
turned from the Republican party
with Mr.. Roosevelt at its head and
using all the pow er that money can
exert, allied with every henchman
of the Trust In The way Of the
great daily newspapers, SUCH as the
New York World and Herald and
the other papers of the kind that
are controlled by the money power,
and openly boastiug that Well street
refuses to contribute to the election
Of Mr.. Roosevelt, but will chime in
aud raise all the money necessary to
eject Mr.. Parker? The answer is {:
simply because Mr.. Roosevelt is
president OF the people, all classes
alike, aud is doing his utmost to
restore To the people of the nation
their rights, where they have been
usurped by these soulless trusts.
If they could control Mr.. Roose-
welt they would not be turning
everything between heaven and
earth trying to defeat him; but be-
ing a brave and honest man, they
we'll know (by experiencel that he
will not be sllentand let them inn
pose upon the rights of the people.
The record Of the Democratic
party and it. rule OF ruin is still too
fresh in the minds Of the thinking
people to grant them new lease
of power, with a return to the free
soup houses which charity SO nobly
endowed. Every industrious man
has employment at better wages
than ever known before and their
families are better clothed, with
better homes, with more sunshine
and happiness than ever before and
they are too intelligent to be willing
to turn from the leadership Of the
man who has taken up their bat tie
and is trying TO prevent the letters
of the trust from making OF them
serfs, which would happen if the
trust candidate is elected. Mr..
Bryan declares they cannot expect
any relief by electing Mr.. Parker
This is too apparent to all not to
be true when you view the interests
that is favoriDg his election. With
the vigorous fight, MIR. Roosevelt is
waging against the greed OF the
trust; the President who has the
lcourage to call halt On them and
restore to the public the rights
guaranteed by the Constitution il
is not surprising that the Hill-Bel
mont and those of their kind will
want to displace HIM and put in his
stead one of the Cleveland kid. 81
the issueing Of bonds could be hao
at millions less their market value
and millions of acres OF Government
land could be retained by the grea
trunk lines that belong to thu
Government or the people. Surely
Ia Dl1lU mdu COulu cOO why CAAOJ
oppose Mr.. Roosevelt, whose record
as the nations chief is above re
proach or even suspision, one tina
Ievery patriotic American can wei
be proud of. The business of TIT
country under the present admins
tration surpasses anything we have
lever had. While under his admins
tration all nations have been fairl,
dealt with, great and complicated
questions have arisen, yet he Ia
settled them in statesman Tx
manner, commanding the respec
of the entire civilized world. TIL
law has been enforced, regardless o
class or condition and that withou
partlality, The treasury has neve
been more amply supplied Will
money, which shows that on
foreign trade continues to increase
The farmers never received bette
prices for their products of thei
labor. The Panama canal, Will
opposed by the Democratic party t
a great extent is certainty, brough
about by the states manship of MI
Roosevelt and will be one of tn
greatest benefits, especially for tn
south this country has ever had
and the s0uth. the instant of it
