Heretofore, the masses have been
in cross ignorance with regard to
the author of the wrongs perpetrated
by our law makers on their consti
tuency. Lvery returning election,
our bosses would declare to the dear
people at every cross road that it was
the othei party that was to blame
for the vicious laws enacted. The
partisan press would take up the re
frain and stuff the people with such
scare crows as negro supremacy,
confederate brigadier &c.
The tiuth is, we were until a few
years ago ignorant as to the true
cause of the hard times. The Alli
ance has taken a view of the situa
tion from a non-partisan stand point,
and has found that both old parties
are, and have been in collusion with
the gold bug autocrats who are sap
ping the very life blood of this na
tion. The reform press deserves
great praise for showing the people
where the wrong is, and it is the duty
of all patriots and seekers of truth
to read these papers that are battling
against odds manfully for "equal
rights to all and special priviliges to
none.

Worse Thau the Million Dollar Congress.
For The Caucasian,
Tauboro, N. C, March 11, 1893.
The session of the fifty-second
Congress has expited, and we are in
formed by the New York World that
it spent one billion twenty-five mill
ion dollars in appropriations and
for other purposes.
When the Republicans showed
their extravigance, and spent a bill
ion dollars in the fifty-first Congress
every Democratic paper in the coun
try denounced that party for its reck
lessness and utter disregard of the
burden tax-payers of the country.
