vast uouspiraov against mankind has
been organized on two continents and
is rapidlv taking possession of the
world. If not met and overthown at
once, it forebodes terrible social con-
vulsions, the destruction of civilization
or tiie establishment of absolute des-
potism.
We have witnessed for more than a
quarter of a century the struggles of
the great political parties for power and
plunder, while grievous wrongs have
been Inflicted upon a suffering peoplo.
We charge that the controlling influ-
ences dominating both these parties
have permitted the existing dreadful
conditions to develop without a serious
effort to preveut or restrain them.
Neither do thev promise any substau-
cial reform. They have agreed togeth-
er to ignore in the coining campaign
every issue but one. They propose to
drown out the cries of the plundered
people with the uproar of a sham battle
over the tariff, so that capitalists, cor-
porations, national hanks, trusts, wa-
terod stocks, deinoneisation of silver
and oppression of usurers may all be
lost sight of. They propose to sacrifice

He made a hold dash for tariff reform.
He soon feared that he had made a
mistake, thinking that#the manufac-
turers could do more for him in tlio
election tbau the plain people. So
he tried »o take it back, but his
friends would not let him. Twice
since, he has tried lo dodge the ytriff
issue. At the convention in 188%and
at Chicago in 1892. It is true he
failed bot!i,time-i, and he proceeded
to talk a lot of stuff'ahout tariff re-
form, buthe is determined that tho
manufacturers shall know that he ia
not against them. He selected Mr.
Harrily, of Pennsylvania, for chair-
man of the National committee, who
is opposed to a tariff fof revenue only
who voted and worked at the Chicago
convention for that tariff straddlo
plank. He would not let Congress
come to a sq'tiarc tejt vote on silver,
because ha wanted to dodge the
tion in the campaign. P

tions of economic reform,
these questions:
Is Mr. Cleveland for an honest tax,
so that tariff for revenue only will
mean a good reduction in the tatifi ?
No. Is he for more money? No*
Then is he for the people? No.
Should the people be ^or him? No.
The imople will not vote for Cleveland

Carolina) Caucasian., ♦ ,
Senator Coke who has be in a rec-
ognized leader of democracy for twen-
ty years, has undertaken to reoou i-
cilo the conflict between the
state platform aud the democratic na-
tional platform. Because this failed
he has undertaken to bull-doze this
state by denouncing every man who
votes against Hogg, as a traitor to hi*
country and who ought not to be ai-
lowwl to live. For brutality and re-
fined cruelty that expression is with-
out a parallel in the English lauguagu.
Such an utterance is unworthy tho
most ignorant and debased Hottentot
ever born on the face of tho earth.
Upon what meat has this Ciesar fed
that he has grown to such imperialis-
tic greatness as to’declare th® life of
every man a forfeit who dares disagreo
with him upon a matter of politics?
Why, those anarchists hung at Chicago
never dared to let any such malignant
expression fall from their lips, if the
democratic party had one tithe of the
courage of the -people’s party men
they would make the name of Richard
Coke a stench in every household iu
this great state.—Hon. J. C. Kirby,
