Representatives
Would Rather Be Right than

National Democrat.
There is no safer counsellor in
the Democratic party than the dis-
tinguished Senator from North
Carolina, Zebulon B. Vance. He
is the idol of his people at home,
for they have unlimited confidence
in his wisdom. ******
Every honor the State of North
Carolina could confer has been
given him almost without the ask-
ing; and so faithful has he been
to every trust that he is now ev-
erywhere known as the people’s
friend. When, therefore, recent-
ly, the farmers of the country,
feeling as they justly do, that the
laws of the land discriminate
against them unjustly, organized
themselves for self-protection and
began to look around for a leader,
their eyes naturally rested on
Zeb Vance.
To him they turned to introduce
the sub-treasury bill, a measure
that seemed to promise the relief
they so much needed. Mr. Vance
introduced it “by request.” This
left him of course free to consider
the bill carefully on its merits and
he did so.
I u the mean time it was natural
that the farmers should look with
iavor on any proposition to put
them on equal footing with these
for whose benefit they had been
so long robbed and plundered by
jthe iniquitous legislation of the
i Republican party—the money -
1 kings and the protected inanu-
ifacturers. So there has been a
I mighty movement in favor of the
sub-treasury bill, and .farmers, es-
pecially in the South, have been
demanding of their representa-
tives pledges to support it. Of
course these representatives
were anxious to do so. They nat-
urally desired to please their con-
stituency. But when they exam-
ined it objectionable features be-
gan to appear, going even to the
very principle on which the bill
was founded, and so one after an-
other leading men in the House
and Senate came out and declared
the bill to be unwiee, inexpedient
and inconsistent with the Consti-
tution, Which every legislator is
sworn to support.
Many of these gentlemen knew
when they gave their opinions
that a majority of their constitu-
encies favored the bill; but
to their lasting credit, be it said,
that not one single prominent
Democrat of the H ouse or Senate
has hesitated, when called to give
his opinions freely, even at the
risk of defeating his re-election—
all of them against the bill. So
entered Democratic alliances with
the intent to break up the Demo- j
cratic party, Senator Vance’s rea-

authority be sufficient to convince

advancement are making use of

tional government would fail in soiling will not be satisfactory, nor
America, because mere Parlia-
ment barriers would never stand
in the way of personal ambition,
but this prophecy is never to
come true so long as the Democ-
racy, comprising, as it does now,
more than half of the voters of
the country, shall have leaders
patriotic enough to sacrifice them-
selves rather than violate the Con-
stitution. This is spirit of the old
Roman who rode into the gulf
that he might save his country.
How strange it will be if Demo-
crats shall allow themselves to be
persuaded by self-seeking politi-
cians to set aside such servants
as these for the sake of a measure
which egnnot by any possibility
ever become law. Indeed, there
is not a prominent man in either
party to-day in public life who has
declared for the bill.

Certainly the Democracy never
can advocate it without sacrificing
that spirit of devotion and love of
the Constitution which holds them
together to-day as a band of broth-

Fort Worth Gazette.
Should George C. Pendleton re-

governor 1 This is a question of
modesty for himself and of pro-
priety for the people.—[Weather-
ford Constitution.
In answer to the above ghoulish
this all the more
readily because I am conscious
that I have never, in the course
of my life, concealed from the
people who have honored me any
candid conviction in regard to any
important public matter. It is too
late for me now "to begin such a
course.
On the 24th day of February,
LS90, at the request of Colonel L.
L. Polk, president of the “N. F.
Alliance and Industrial Union," I
introduced in the Senate bill 280(5,
popularly known as the sub-treas-
ury bill, and procured its reference
to the committee on agriculture
and forestry,where it was supposed
that it would receive more friend-
ly consideration than from the
committee on finance, to which it
would otherwise have gone accord-
ing to the rules. On receiving it
I told both Colonel Polk and Dr.
Maeuue, the chairman of the leg-
islative committee of the Alliance;
that I was not prepared to prom-
ise them to support the bill: that

taxation, against Federal election
laws, and for the autonomy of the
States forever. Most assuredly
the Democratic farmers of Amer-
ica, when they look this question
squarely in the face, will conclude
that the class legislation of which
they now so justly camplain can-
not be remedied by other legisla-
tion just as objectionable and even
more palpably in violation of the
Constitution. The true remedy is
to be found in these ideas for
which Democrats contend.
And the lines on which the bat-
tle for the increase of the curren-
cy and the reduction of taxation
are to be fought lie straight be-
fore us. The battle is to be be-
tween the Democracy on the one
side and the Republican party on
the other. The Republicans favor
the issue. They are seeking to
strengthen themselves in position
by Federal election laws and ev-
ery other possible legislative de-
vice. The Democracy needs in
this fight all the experience, all
the ability it can muster. This
is no time for bringing untried ma-
terial to the front.
There has been danger that the
quarrel in Democratic ranks over
the sub-treasury scheme would
deprive their party in the House
of some of those whose services
are indispensable in an hour like
this. But the National Democrat
hopes that this danger is fast pass-
ing away. Surely the true Demo-
crats of the country in face of the
went so far in his decision to with-
draw from the race for lieutenant-
governor, as to write out his with-
drawal but has so far yielded to
friends that he consented to with-
hold it for a few days, as it was
urged upon him that in his grief
and humiliation he was in no prop-
er frame of mind to judge correct-
ly-
It is forcibly contended by his
friends that Texas is too great
and grand to make him a vicarious
offering on the altar of another’s
wrong-doing, that he has done no
wrong and will not be held re-
sponsible for the wrongs done by
another.
Mr. George C. Pendleton did
not lack any sense of propriety,
but deferred to friends to the ex-
tent of delaying his purpose. It
pated. All candid men admit that
they have not had their share of
the aggregate prosperity of our
country. The reason for this is as
plain to be seen as any cause for
any effect. For a quarter of a
century the legislation of our
country has been notoriously in
the interest of certain combinations
of capital. The manufacturers
\ i>ave been protected by enormous
duties upon foreign imports, many
of which are absolutely'prohibito-
ry- The currency has been sys-
tematically contracted by the
withdrawal of circulation and the
demonetization of silver in the
interest of the bankers, brokers,
bondholders and all the creditor
class. In this way the inevitable
results have beeu produced. The
| enormous wealth of our cornu
j has more and more ceased to
| widely distributed and has become
concentrated in the hands of afew.
Overgrown fortunes liavo been
accumulated by the favored ones,
while mortgages have been the
chief acquisition of the many. The
farmer being compelled to sell his
surplus wheat, beef and cotton in
free trade markets of the world,
was not allowed also to buy his
supplies in the same place, but
-was compelled to bring his money
home from Europe and buy Mr
iron, his clothing and all his farm
supplies from the domestic manu-
facturers at prices enhanced not
only by these enormous tariff
duties, but likewise by this severe
contraction of the currency. What
else could possibly have followed
but indebtedness and bankruptcy
for that class who had thus to bear
the ultimate burdens caused

All efforts to secure the repeal
of this outrageous taxation and to
restore the full use of silver as
money, having so far proved ana-
vailing, reasonable men are not
surprised that the oppres

ganized and determined to do
something. For one I sympathize
most cordially and sincerely with
this determination. Inasmuch as
it is impossible to compensate

for the reason that similar prod-
