A hero grand was he ;
No craven thought e'er filled the heart
Of Light Harry Lee.

Though I am old and gray
The battle had raged long and fierce
For we would not give way,
Our chieftain at the legion's head
Rode on
When a red coat vile his
To murder Harry Lee
I dashed before the hero bold,
Right in the deadly strife ;
I clove Hessian to the Earth
And saved brave Harry's life.
That night he grasped my wearied hand,
The flush was on his cheek,
The tears stood in his manly eyes.
His voice was hoarse and weak.
He gave me his sword.
That oft had led the tree.

And when the war was o'er,

And wore it through the fight.
And when the soft, sweet, southern breeze

Came laden with the clash of arms
And thrilling notes of war,

With tears of honest pride.

They not only do not admit that

their own interests in tariff tax-

They can't endure, they say, that
our laboring people should have on-

as they do; therefore, they say, w c

Of course wages are higher here
than Europe; perhaps higher
than anywhere else in the world.
But the man who asserts that the
tariff has made them so is lacking

Labor is higher the United States
than anywhere else because it is
more productive than it is anywhere
and is therefore worth more to
its employer. The statistics
prove this. Men of common

cost of labor in a product by the
price per day paid to the operatives
only, but look at the results of the
day's work of each The
excess of the finished article which
the American laborer can turn over
his foreign rival shows conclusively
that his labor is the cheapest to his
employer in the world. This will be
illustrated by the following table

been approved by economists in Ger-
many, England and the United
States.

this increase benefited the

Our manufacturers, therefore, pay
higher wages than those of other
countries, not because they prefer
to do so, or try to do so, but simply
because they can't help themselves;
not from philanthropy, from
necessity. Their utmost efforts are

already shown, to reduce, not to in

protection is
the cause or the intention of this
high reward of labor- It is quite
true, as protectionists assert, that
manufactures tend to increase
wages by industries
and thus increasing the demand for
labor. But to give high tariffs tho
credit for this is to assume that
manufactures cannot exist without
protection; whereas we know that

A Convention of the Democrat-

delegates to the State and Con-

Each township will be entitled

The- Democratic members of
the House Committee on Ways
and Means have decided to con-
sent to an extension of the gen-
J debate on the Tariff bill,
which was to have closed to-day
until next Saturday. This ac-j
will not result in any post-
of final action on the
bill.
Georgia, which has been some
what upon by the
organs to give
Cleveland a black eye when
Democrats met in convention, j
held her State Convention last
week and followed course of
all the other States by
endorsing the President and I
his policy to tax reform. Three
cheers, say we for the
state of the South.
The Reflector has no fight
against the gentlemen who are
aspirants for Congressional
honors in this district. We are
for Tom Skinner, because we
think him the best man, but we
are the friend of all whose names
have been mentioned. While
we think it best to nominate
Skinner we will bow to the will
of a majority of the Convention
and support with
whoever is selected. We want
a fair Convention in which the
people shall be truly represented.
The Democrats of Tennessee
met in State Convention last
week, at Nashville, for the
pose of nominating a candidate
for Governor and other officers.
The great fight is over the can
for Governor, and up to
Saturday night no choice had
been made. Governor Taylor is
leading in the race. The result
of the twenty-third ballot, the
last taken of which we have
seen an was as
Taylor ;
; Caldwell
Richardson
It has been rumored for some
weeks past that Maj. Latham
had withdrawn from the
race in this district,
and for this reason the
tor has had nothing to say con-
him since the announce-
was made in these columns
that we would oppose his
The fact that Latham
has withdrawn or will with-
draw has been published in
several of the district papers,
but we are not positively assured
that the statement is correct,
none of his strong friends having
spoken out, and Maj. Latham
himself, being dumb as an oyster
upon the subject. However we
hope he has withdrawn as his
candidacy this year would only
tend to injure him and would
not help the Democratic party.
Maj. W. A. Smith, of Johnson
county, is critically ill at the
residence of his daughter in
Richmond, and his days on earth
are said to be few. His trouble,
which was first thought to be
Bright's disease, is now said to
be cancer of the stomach. For
nearly three weeks he has not
been able to retain a particle of
nourishment. There are a
of people throughout the
State who will be pained to hear
of the suffering of Maj. Smith, for
his noble, generous impulses
endeared him to the hearts of
many.
The Kansas Republicans have
instructed their delegates to vote
for the Hon. J. J. for
dent. Blame was mentioned as
choice. We would be de-
to see the traducer of Han-
cock and and the
of the South nominated as the
Republican standard-bearer. The
people the whole country would
be pleased the Kansas
Judge advocate to the oblivion
and ignominy which he so richly
deserves.
It has been said that if Major
Latham is out of the race for the
nomination for Congress his
strength would naturally go to j
Hon. T. G. Skinner, there being
strong natural ties between the
two gentlemen. We do not
place very much confidence in
this, for our opinion La-
influence will be against
Mr. Skinner and in of some
other candidate. In fact as
ranch as this has been admitted
to us by one of Maj.
friends here. The friends and
supporters of Skinner must be
active and alert this year if they
wish to see him nominated. A
small amount of inactivity and
carelessness will result with them j
as it did two years ago. Fore- j
warned is forearmed, and we
throw out these suggestions that.

John Nichols, present
has published a card in
the Raleigh Signal, announcing
himself as a candidate for re-
election to Congress from the
Metropolitan District. We hope
that some man will be nominated
by the Democrats will de-
feat Mr. Nichols and thus give
the District actual

We publish on first page
an article from the pen of bro.
of the Economist, relating
to political affairs. We heartily
endorse what is there said and
agree with nearly every word
uttered. There is no man in the
First District who is more
esteemed and has a
deeper hold upon the hearts of
our people than has Thomas G.
Skinner and if it is left with the
People to make nomination there
is no doubt but what he would
be the man. It is opinion
that if a vote of the Democratic
voters of the District was taken,
to determine who was the choice
of the people, that Tom Skinner
would receive at least half of
the votes cast, or as many as all
the other men whose names have
been mentioned would receive
together. Why then, should a
few politicians, and a few of the
personal friends of other
ants, endeavor to defeat the will
of the majority of the people

Ponds of stagnated water are

the entire town is endangered. The
town authorities should compel
owners of premises to keep these
ponds filled so as to prevent
standing in them.

One of the efforts of Republican
speakers now is to try to bamboozle

laboring classes for twenty years as
to high wages being dependent upon
a high tariff, now they are try-

them believe that their best friend

are even bold enough to attempt to
show that a high tax does not in-

high tax on wool does not increase

clothing.
In 1886, there were imported 58-

a mixture of wool and cotton, that

These goods are worn chiefly by la
boring classes, and by the wives and
daughters of farmers. Mr. S.

The death-dealing electric light

attention than at any time
the introduction of this system of
illumination. The recent killing of
a young peddler on East Broadway
has done more, to draw at-
to this subject than,

recent casualties caused by electric

Meyer a young
peddler, was instantly killed on
M Broad way, near Chatham street
a few weeks ago. He was struck by
a dangling telephone wire which had
fallen upon a States Electric

boy fall, and ran to his assistance,
was seriously injured.
During a fire last fall

greatly impeded by the electric
light wires. United States

around to cut the wires, so as to
vent accident to tho fireman and
bystanders.
the very act of cutting the
wires the foreman caught the cur-
rent was instantly killed. The
United States Company claimed
that the man was killed by fall

compliance with tho law, the

to cut off current, be was told
that wires belonged to another
company, and it was a long time
before the dynamos generating the

tempting of fate. We have been re
fortunate, so far, the
few accidents which have occurred

Since the discovery of Oxygen as a dis-

that it could be made a powerful

Amid the humane dis-
so pervasive and tar-reaching
in their influence, stands the discovery
of Compound Oxygen as a powerful cu-

cases within his own practice.
Close observation and patient study of
the healing power of agent, led
to the conclusion that there was in this
simple agent illimitable capabilities of
healing and healthfulness, and he
formed a fixed purpose of
oping the remedy to the utmost possible
perfection, of making it known to
the world.

his conviction and strengthened his
