SENATOR TILLMAN . AT CONCORD. FRKK SILVER HIS THEME ON THAT OCCASION. Thfrc Must Be a Kree Sliver President, nnd If Ho Can not Oet a Democrat a Populist Will Do. 1 \ I Tillman and Mnrion Butler spoke to a crowd of about 3.000 Populists at Concord, ( N. C., on Tuesday. Tillman said be wanted a free silver President, from the Democratic j party if ho could got him, but if not, even from the ranks of Populism, in spite of its crazy leaders nud crazy not ious. Butler said patriotism must be placed above partisanship?even above Populism?in placing an ^ hoa<*st free silver man in the White House. t After an introduction l>y Mr. M. H. Cahi- 1 well Tillman was greeted with loud cheer* i ing. The South Carolinian said lie was glad < to come from the North, reckiug with ' slavery and corruption, to he with his people < in the South, poor hut honest. ^We down * here are locally free, hut nationally slaves." ' The Democratic party so lout? held together iu the South hy the fear of negro domiun- ' tion, was disintegrating, because there was 1 no longer apprehension from that cause, hut * new issues were coming to the front. The ' great light ahead is how to keep down pov- J ertv and that oppression which consisted iu ' J making money for some other uiiu to enjoy. ? The finaneiai eonditions were such as to ' favor the Northeastern section >f the couu- ' try. The Demoeratie party stood pledged ' to right "the crime of 1873," the deiuoneti- 1 nation of silver, and pledged to free silver, InU when we had a majority in both houses there was a President's veto in the way, and so the crime of 1873 remains unrightod. The Republican pnrty was the tool of the money {mwer. The Democratic party had always 1 ieeu committed to bimetallism, but when it t did not fulfil its pledges the Alliance came t along and taught that we would no longer 1 stand by Democracy uulcss it did something. I The speaker blamed the free silver "re- ^ form" element in the other Southern States ? for not capturing the Democratic machinery g in 111" State, as was done in South Carolina. | fc The Alliance and Polk had the Democratic j party iu North Carolina in their breeches. c pocket, but you went out and lost. Rut the ? solid South was brokuii up in tho last elec- <] tion. Jarvis and Kausora wont over tho c Stato trying to catch tho Heimtorship, but t this young man (pointing to Butler) cooued i up a tree, got the persimmon and away ho wout. (Groat applause.) But with tho breaking of tho solid South oamo tho breaking of tho solid North. I'll stand by tho c Democracy if it purifies itself, but I'll never follow thieves and rascals. It is tho duty of tho people to consider carefully the tlnanciail issue and to follow ^ whore their interests lead them. Tho old ' Puritans and their descendants, acting on the principle that the world was created for c the saints, and we^ire the saints, had gov- 1 g orned this country long enough. I ^ Mr. Tillman then went into a long discus- i siou of what money is. Carlisle says that | *' law cannot affect the value of n metal. That j ? statement is nhsuril. Talk about flat money, ! * Gold is as much flat money as any other, j and because the law makes it so, and sliver j ? bullion ean't be carried to tho mint and P coiued as gold, simply bees'use tho law for- D bids it. ' The old arguments of the silver men were ' gone over, that prions fell because of striking , down silver, that silver was demonetized by j '' a sneaking legislation in 1873, that tho panie ' of'73 was the result. Tho national bank question was discussed. Tho speaker asked if Government bonds were so good, why was not a little flat paper good too? Tho bonds themselves were flat, he said, nothing but a C promise to pay. Paper is not a desirable in- d vestment, say the gold bugs. Ab, that is o where the shoe pinches. a Cleveland and Carlisle came in for abuse a for arranging the last bond issue and letting b Kngland dictate the terms of it. There is p ' UU.I^II IIIWUMJ ill tun I UII1IUJ. OieiUlllC A money has been stricken down ami until wo il get it back wo will suck the limd toat that o lias got ne milk iu it. (Laughter and ap- n plause.) Demoeratie politiciuus howled for t! a long time about the tariff iniquity. Did h Cleveland eull Congress together to repeal , li the high tariff or to repeal the Sherman law? a What is to be done? Can the Democrats n of the South and the Populists of the West a get together? Will they let bygones he by- p g.>nes and light together against Wall street? o We have only eighteen mouths to work, and li if desirable men of all parties don't come j e together in that time we will have our hands n fastened iu shackles. We will have gold bonds forced on us, and bo tied baud and foot for a generation, lie would work to have his State put out an election ticket which would cast its vote for a dyed-in-the- C wool silver man. A man cast of the Missis- a sippi would do. Western Kepublicaus hate w tin- name of Democrats. Southern Demo- cl crats hate the name of Republican. Weoau't h join the Populist party because you have too h many cranks at your head. ei We are here to consider how to get together. If we iu South Carolina can't get a si silver man for President iu the Democratic n party, we may have to take oue from the b Populist party. I would rather have Popu- tl Usui with its crunky leaders than to follow w the false leaders iu the old party, who have u proved traitors. North Carolina is over- v whelmingly for silver as South Carolina is. | They must stand together. Their interests arc identical. Tillman spoke about two hours and was followed by Senator Butler, of North Car- j ? olina who made a froo silver speech of the i same length. The Lookout Press.

A DISSERTATION UPON HAPPI NESS AND CONTENTMENT. The Rich Declare Tbat Wealth Doei Not Bring It, While William Saye It Help* Considerably. Ttie blue* are a masculine ma ad/ and affliol men moro than women. Women dare mort grief and wrmw, but when there is nt groat trouble in the liouio they are naturally moro clieerlnl than the men.

'1 bey creep s ealthili upon a man <-om*timo?, and if be doos no! tight Ihem off ho is very poor company. My wife says I look like I dident h?ve a friend in the world. The b^st rnmody is to quit thinking and go to work. Do soma hing?work ill the garden, chop some woo t, fix the window curtain*, tio up tho fl >wers, swing the gran Ichiidre:*?do something to divert, your mind from yourself. It is hotter to roa.l a story than to tiiink and brood over trouble that may nOT<*? come. The body is so mysteriously contuo'ed wiih tho mind that tho blues impair digestion, and that causes loss of appetite, and the flr-t thing a man kuows ho is stek sure enough- I baa boon supposed tbat (lie heart wa* the scat of tho affections And emotions, but tbat is a mistake. It is the stomach, and if tbat is out of order the whole body is sick. The Dib'e tolls about bowels of ntarcy and bowels of compassion. Another good way to drive off the blues is to writo letters to kiudred and friends and ventilate your troub'cs aud abuse somebody. Give your feelings an explosion and you will find relief.

Tho meek shall inherit the earth and the poor in spirit the kingdom of heaven, and if there is anything else to iuhorit I don't know it. Poets, philosophers and rich men have all testified to the vanity of riches and yet every ra-cal of them wants more than they havo got. And so do I. Som? of us are fools enough to helieve that we want money to do good with and help other peoplo. There are a fe.v rich men of that kind, but they are rare. Tin re are still left here and there at lonely di-danc s a Teter Coopor or Feabodyor George W. Sco t, who do not wait until they die to do good with their money. Carnegie and Uoekfoller give off a slice occasionally, bin they hold fast to the log end of the rone and keep on piling up. The Now York World sont out inquiries not Ion.: ago to all of the m 11 ion a r. s to know whether or not great riches brought happiness. Carnegie said: "Wealth brings happiness only when the possessor leeds the hungry, clotlios the naked, endows institutions of learning, founds hospitals and does other countless good works." Uockfellersaid: "Wealth does not bring happineso, for no man thinks himself wealthy. No man is so rich but what there are others richer than he i->, and that fact makes him feel poor. Practically, there is no such thing as a rich man. Money is like s' raw berries and cream? nobody aver gets enough. 'Don't von thiu't you have had enough, Ethel?' said her aunt. T niav think so. auntie, hut I don't fe< l to,' said Ethel. No, the fact is that great wealth brings tinliappiiies-'." Russell Sage said: "Riches are all vanity and vexation of spirit. Few people have any idea of the trouble and inconveniences that wealth brings. Tho rich never ask such a foolish question as'does wealth bring happiness?' A rich man is constantly in tho public eye. Privacy is impossible for lum. Toe public i-i curious even to know how he opens his letters and puts on his shoes and what he has for breakfast. An incognito is impossible. No, riches do not bring hanniness ncr contentment." Russell A. Alger says: "Men are no bappiet when rich than when poor. A millionaire is nc happier when driving a $50,000 horse than a clerk who gets only $15 a week and in ont driving a livery stable horse on Hunday evening! with his best girl by his side." John W. Mackay said: "I am surprised that any one would for a moment think that riche? brought happiness. I was happier during mv early struggles with poverty than I have ever teen since. I enjoyed the toil, privation and hardship I endured to win wealth. When swinging pick and shovel as a miner I was &r happy as I ever can Le." Levi P. Morton said- "When I was a pool young man of twenty years, clerking in a conn try store I used to think that if I ever got to Ix worih $100,000 I should he the happiest mar alive. Now I am worth that and moro, but feel that I am no happier than in my poorer days.' (leorgo W. Pullman said: "I am cert ami) no happier than when I had not a dollar that 1 could rail my own save that for which I worker from morn till night. I can wear but one suit of clothes. I ate three square meals a day ther and ran eat no more now. Then I had no re sj)onsil)ilitie-i and could go to sleep when mj head touched the pillow. Now that I havo vasi interests and business cares resting upon me, 1 cunnot sle< p like I did then. I was happier tbet than I sm now." And many others answered on the same line Now the question comes up why don't the] lighten the load? If Mio surplus brings can and trouble, why don't thev stop trying t< make it bigger? Why not divide out the re sponsibiUty? I know lots of men who woulr help to carry the load. In fact, I wool teer my own services. I don't nnderata n H theee men all write one way and do a way.
