Democrats Not Re-
sponsible
For the lizard Times" that Pre-
vailed During the Period Of Five
Years from 1894 to 1898-Prom
mont Republican Official De-
clares that the Low Prices Dur
ing Cleveland's Term Existed all
Over the World.
Pittsboro Record

Pittsboro Record
The favorite argument OF Republi-
can speakers and papers, in their
frantic efforts topersuade Democrats
to desert their old party, is to remind
them OF the low prices that existed
during President Clevelands last
term, which they enormously ascribe
to Democratic incOmpetency. 1t is
the tiIne-wOrn argument OF Republi-
cans to compare the "hard times"
during Cleveland's last term and the
present prosperity under President
Roosevelt, and they enormously al
lege that the Democrats were respOn-
sible for the former and that the Re-
publicans are to be praised for the
latter.
The falsity of this favorite argu-
ment is clearly exposed in the last
number OF the Review of Reviews, Ca
nOn-partisan magazine) in an article
written by Hon. Geo. E. Roberts, who
is a Republican and the Director of
the United States Mint, and who is
as good authority as any Republican
ought to ask for. In that article Mr..
Roberts shows that prices had been
steadily falling for several years, and,
to quote his words, "were upon a
lower level during the five years 1894
90 than during any other consecu-
tive five years of the last half century,
not only v in the United States, bnt in
the markets of the world.'
Our Republican readers will please
! note particularly that Mr. Roberts
declares that the low prices during
Cleveland's term existed all over the
world. Surely even the most ignor-
ant and prejudiced Republicans will
| not hold Democrats responsible for
the low prices that prevailed in all
other countries!
The truth is the "hard times" had
set in before Cleveland's election all
over the world The times had be-
come SO bad in this country as to
cause the farmers to organize the fa-
nous Farmers Alliance as far back
as 1888 to protest against them and
to try to obtain relief No man can
deny this. There was great imam
cial depression all over the world be-
fore Cleveland's election. The we'll
known English bankers Daring
Brothers) had failed and a general f.
nancial panic prevailed all over the
world. The Republican President

A Little Book of Pretty Poems.
Gastonia Gazette.

Gastonia Gazette.
The publishers, the Stone & Bar
ringer Company of Charlotte, have
sent us copy of little book OF
poems by Mr.. John Charles Mcneil:
The pieces in it have been gathered
from the pages of the leading mag
azines and the Charlotte Daily OBJ
server, in which publications these
charming little children of Mr.. Nc
NelFs heart and brain were first per-
mitted to make their bow to the
world. The hundred and six pages
of this little volume contain more
than half as many separate poems,
and are of q size to permit the book
to slip readily into the side pocket OF
business mans coat. 1t bears the
title of ''Songs, Merry and Sad" and
is dedicated to Mr.. Joseph P. Cald-
well, the most affluently gifted prose
master OF the State press. The price
of the volume is $1O6 postpaid-a
penny a page being, to be sure, too
moderate q price by which to meas
ure the purple and gold OF poesy
that enrich every page.
There are no illustrations i'll this
collection OF songs, merry and sad
we wish there were. Some day-we
hope it is already printed in the
calendars-we expect to see gilt
book of this authors poems regally
bound in keeping with the dignity OF
it's contents, and richly embellishedin
keeping with the bluets aud butter
cupswhich bestar his printedthoughts
and blink along the lanes OF all his
verse. There is much of North Caro-
lima in his portrayals that should be
given by him to his artist just as
Whitecomb Riley has given glimpses
of Indiana to his illustrators. But
even while penning the hope, one is
obliged to confess that no graver's
art could fix perfectly upon the
printed page that tender vision OF
the Little White Bride or approach
the rocking fun OF those nights with
old man Jesse Covington, which
ave boys and he have rollicked through"
while
"He snatched the bow across his fiddle
There are two reasons why North
Carolinians especially should feel a
pride in Mr.. McNeill's work as shown
| in this little book. They are the rea
sons which cause a man and his
baby to go out in the spring-time
and thurst their faces into the foun-
tains of soft pink blossom upon the
peach trees. The little one loves the
blossoms for their present prettiness,
while the older loves them also for
the promise they carry of things to
be in June. Upon their present
merit there are few of the poems in
this modest book which are not en-
titled to be classed as literature. In
technical finish, one would not
willingly exchange their present form
for perfection itself, while in matter
and treatment many of them mpossess

Philadelphia's Mayor in Surren-
derins to the Clamor Of Negroes
to Prohibit the Performance Of
The Clansman.

Raleigh Evening Times Oct. 26. .+
Thomas Dixon, Jr., talked with a
representative of the Evening Times.
today about the disorderly demon
stration by negroes in Philadelphia
Tuesday night and he presented his
compliments to Mayor Weaver in
real Dixon style. He said that the
city government practically surren-
dered to the negrors, that being due
to the fact that the elections are only
two weeks off. He declared, more
over, that the thing could not have
happened in any other American city.
''Last spring." said Mr.. Dixon, 1.-The
negroes tried to keep The Clansman
out of Philadelphia. We appealed to
Mayor Weaver, an inspector was sent
to the performance and he reported
that there was nothing Objectionable
to the play. We remained there for
q month or more without disturb
ance. Now, we go there two weeks
before an election to meet this trOu-
bic. Negro preachers sent out call
for meeting in front of the Walnut
Street Theatre to take action. They
were extremely violent. Black toughs
were sent into the theatre and when
the curtain was raised they hurled
eggs on the stage. They were quick
ly ierked up by the police and re-
moved, after their heads had been
cracked. The performance went on,
but the mob in the street increased
The negroes refused to disperse, and
the city government practically sur
rendered to the mob. l told the au-
thorities that Ibid not object to CEN
sorship of my plays, but did object
to a gang taking possession OF the
theatre.
"After the performance negroes
paraded the prinhipal streets and the
| low quarters, cursing and abusing
The Clansman and me personally.
Yesterday, l appeared before the
court when an appeal was made for
an injunction against the ruling OF
the mayor, but when 1 reached the
court found the whole proceeding
was a farce. Politics ruled. Weaver
took the negroes in his arms, calling
them his brethren. This was the
same mayor, mind you, who had de.
cided in the spring that there was
nothing wrong with The Clansman,
He was afraid the blacks would
throw their strength against his
party at the polls. The court pro
ceeding was a contemplate exhibi
tion of peanut politics, the like o.
which could be seen only in Phila
delphia. l extended my most pro
found sympathy in the absence o
a decent civil government and tC
the officials OF the travestry thai
passed for civil governmenment ex
pressed my most profound contempt
Mayor Weaver stated that he would
revoke the theater license il the cour
ruled against him. This trucking
to the negro, as explained then ant
there, was putrid, and l added tina

"Love's Fashion," is the sure but

There is not language among
the nations in which the appeal in
these poems, if translated, could fail
to awake sympathetic response in
the emotions of it's polite readers, SO
elemental are the notes upon which
they are builded.
Not only is their theme appealing
but the mechanical perfection OF the
! poets treatment is equally SO. Not
seems lacking. The art is SO simple,
so .unobtrusive, SO natural, that
the unlaborious quality and move
ment of the writing are sure to elude
him who enjoys without rudely stop
ping to analyze. There is scarcely
a poem in the little book which does

The other reason why our people
should be interested in this work OF

promise it bears of things to come.
We trust that nothing will prevent
the perfect fruit from following SO
perfect flower.

just before the expiration of his term
for the printing the gold bonds which
Cleveland had to issue afterwards.
This is we'll known. s-..
1t is thus shown that the Demo-
Gratis we're not at all responsible for
the low prices, as alleged by Repub-
licans, as Mr.. Roberts, (although a
Republican officer) admits in his ar
ticle (before mentioned) that the
present prices are due "to natural
conditions and not in any important
degree to manipulation or causes
within government control" The
chief cause for the increase in prices,
as everybody knows, is admitted by
Mr.. Roberts to be the large increase
in the general stock of money in the
United States" which he says in
creased as much as fifty per cent. in
1906 as compared with 1896.

And she is gone-her passing hardly made
A ripple on the surface of the sea.
The busy, sordid world just stopped to ask,
In hurried tones, And who, my friend, was
she?'
And who was she? You'll not find her name
EmblazOned with immortals of the mind;
But when you gaze upon the register
OF heroes, there, ah, there, that name you'll
find
Not on account of her deep and fer tile brain,
Encourage shown W here human lifeblood ran,
But just because the God appointed her
To love an old and prosecuted man!
Twas hers the task aud hers the noble JOY
To sooth and calm the prosecuted age
vi him whose name an angry people hate,
But which the gods write high on glory g page.
jeff Davis, dragged in frenzy from his seat
Among the great unto a criminals pen!
His name will blaze when history is complete
Upon the list of Fame's most noted men.
Rienzi, last of Roman tribunes, stands
A hero now; and he, who would not barter
His rights to please degenerate countrymen,
Will rank with him-as hero and as martyr!
And she who now, unnoticed, passed away,
Who loved him while a nation hissed it's
scorn, H.--.=- :.
Will be repaid when they are turned to dust
By untold generations yet unborn.
