Harrison The Times, Democratic, and the Mercury, Populist, both of Hickory have consolidated their offices. Both nabers will be gotten out by the same force of printers and printed on the same press. Messrs. Huf- ham and Click continue as editors of their respective papers and are joint owners of the job office. By this arrangement a great saving will be made in expenses.

The Times is lovallv Democratic and is doing good work for Democracy in Cataw ba and adjoining counties. The Mercury i by fr th belt Populist paper of the State. This is just foretaste of what wo should have in the State next year Democrats and Populists working together in har mony for the redemption of the State from the evils of Republican rule. VV understand that some more excursions will be run this year and that some of the farmers will prob ably take advantage of the cheap rates to take a much needed outing We call this to the attention of those of our esteemed exchanges which seem to be so much worried every time a farmer spends a nickel of his own money in his own way, and Wjhich are so free of their advice to them, so that the proper steps may be taken to stop it. For our part we are glad to see the farmer, after a season of hard labor and of fulfillment of the divine command to.win his bread by the sweat of his iace, take recreation and pleas ure during his natural vacation sea son of the latter half of July and the first half of August.

We wish that equal laws permitted him to realize sufficient prices for his pro ducts so that this season of the year could be made a gala month with him and his neighbors, their wives and children. Without some unforeseen disaster the crops of this section will be abundant. Cotton was never more promising and corn has improved wonderfully since the rains. The farmers never worked harder and the season on the whole could not have been improved upon. The people and the Lord have done 'they part;" but the government ms not done "its part.

The mon ey laws of the countrj' are framed in the interest of the wealthy class es, the bond holders, money lenders and banks. One half of the rightful money of the country has been struck down by Congressional ac tion and the remaining half doubled in value in consequence, so that it takes double as-much of the farmer's cotton, corn, wheat or tobacco to pay his interest on money borrowed or other fixed charges as took when tbo couutry had just EDOtiej lr. Not outnt with this our ruling sections, the mwiufaotur-ing East and North, tav had our tax laws so constructed that the farmer pays tribute to some factory owner or factory laborer almost every time he purchases an article either of necessity or pleasure. In spite of all these inequalities of the aws, our farmers, who are not in debt, "will live at home and board at the same place this year. Some of our camp follower Demo cratic exchanges are tearing their hair and warning the Virginia.Demo- crats, who are about to join hands.

with the Populists, of the evils which fusion has brought upon this State. They do not tell our neighbors that this was and is Republican and Populist fusion. They do not tell them that, but for the check which the Populists put upon their Republican allies, many more ob noxious laws would have been passed and much more extravagance indulged in It is doubtless to nra- vent the threatened evils of Repub- lican-Populist-Soap-tail combination success in their State that has caused the 'Old Dominion Democracy to hold out the olive branch to their estranged brethren. A Legislature in this State elected by Democrats and Populists will be essentially Demo cratic, because the large majority of the people electing it will be Demo crats; one elected by Republicans and Populists will be essentially Republican for-the same reason: We have the alternative of a union of all our old time Democrats and gov ernment by the white people of the State; or continued government by a combination, the majority of whose voters are negroes. But the real trouble with the camp follow ers is that they do not desire Demo cratic success.

They know full well that with the Democrats and Populists apart silver success in this State is impossible, and hence, their frantic efforts to prevent a union of the two parties. Virginia Demo crats and Populists are wise. May their brethren here in North Caro lina emulate their example. Everybody Say So.

Raleigh News and Observer- Mr. McKinley was the first President who took occasion in his inaugural address to denounce lynch law. He was as silent as Republican politi cians of the South are with refer ence to the crime that invites lynch law.

He was influenced to incor porate this declaration into hie mes sage by negro politician. It wgp an easier way of pleasing ibefu tbffi by giving them offices "in Ohio. Ia- asmuch as the Federal government has no jurisdiction In- the States, that declaration was as empty as expressions of sympathy with the struggling Cubans. The carnival of lynching and the crime which precedes it seem to mock the President's denunciation of lynching. It would not be right to charge that the utterances of the President are i-esponsible for the crime that has marked his administration, unprecedented we in the history of the country.

It is nevertheless true that ignorant and mean negroes Teel that when the Publican" party is in power they have license that they do not en joy when the party of their white neighbors is in control of govern ment. This feeling is intensified when they hear the President in his inaugural address thunder out against lynching and remain silent upon the revolting crime that al most always precedes lynching. Of course Republican officials enforce the law and are horrified at the crime, but those who fail to cry out against the outrages committed, if not indirectly responsible, ought at least not to be heard in denuncia tion of the lynching that follows. If Mr. McKinley, instead of a polit ical Culmination against lynching, had warned his colored supporters to refrain from the commission of their crimes that brings them to a sudden death, he might have set influences in motion that) would have checked the tide of crime and mob law that is a blot on the whole country.

Instead of doing so, he fell into the usual Republican political cry to please his negro supporters. Tea. tbe People Ht Done Their Fart. Wilkesboro Chronicle: Esq. Tr B.
