ARTICLE
In the. outset of his eighth article
tariff in the Baltimore Sun,
Senator Vance suggests that it
would better, if the object of the
high tariff tax is really to
labor, as is asserted, to put a heavy
tax on laborers coining into
this and let imported pro
ducts come in free. Competition
between manufacturers for the
vices of workmen might then raise
wages to the desired point, and at
the same time the workmen might
buy what they need at the low
that prevail abroad. Labor
would thus be doubly benefited.
Another method to insure the labor
get ting the increased wages
high tariff the
to pay him would be to require
the manufacturer to pay over to his
workmen a percentage of the value
of all bis sales equal to the tariff
rates. The present tariff rate on
sugar, for an example, is over
per cent. If the sugar
refineries receive by law this per
cent bonus in to the wages
they now get, they would all soon,
with ordinary economy, become
bloated capitalists. But there is no
likelihood that protectionists
will ever favor such direct and
means of turning taxing
power of the State to the benefit of
labor. They prefer that the tax be
laid, as now, to them to
pay a higher wage to labor, while
nobody sees to their paying it.
Those who claim that high tariffs
are chiefly beneficial to labor
Senator calls and he
proceeds as follows .
Now, the claim
protection not only raises
the prices of
products, but indirectly the prices
of all the other articles as well. Of
course this is absurd, bat it is
for them to say something
in answer to the charge that if pro-
does not go all round it is
taxing of one man to support
another, and is, therefore,
and unjust. It is the old dilemma
of the falsified; telling of one
falsehood forces telling of
to cover it up. Bo, having start

Just at this time, pending,

in common with other Congressmen,

pamphlets, all more or less distress-
ed to death over the horrible fate of
the workingman, and appealing to

with common sense Can doubt for a
moment that it goes into the pocket

himself hoarse for the money to be
given to the American laborer; his
tears roll down bis cheeks in
streams for his be-
loved American laborer, but. sup-
pressing his grief as best he may, he
wipes them away and pockets the
money. Surely this is an
surpassing the love of woman. And
so the falsehood may be detected in
a articles prime
necessity.
It is astonishing that fallacies so
often and so completely exposed
should be so persistently and so
shamelessly reasserted.
these assertions are examined they
have been found untrue ; whenever
predictions have been tested
they have shared fate of the
priest of Baal. The story of quinine
always gives a protectionist
chills instead of coring him. They
said when a repeal of duty was
agitated that it would destroy utter-
its manufacture in the United
Si ates, discharge all the labor en-
gaged and raise price. At that
time there were five establishments
in this country hands,
and the price was an ounce.
A poor man could not afford to have
chills at such a price for quinine.
But with much hesitation Congress
took the risk and repealed the heavy
duty and it on free list.
Every prediction proved to be
utterance of a false prophet There
arc now twelve quinine factories in
the United States employing
hands, and the price is per

made mention last week On

a convention of representative

the grand old county at heart.
Now if there is a man who is

There is no man in the State
who would make a more brilliant
canvass for the office than would
Col. Skinner, and after his
he would ably preside over
the deliberations of the State
Senate. Pitt county would de-
light in seeing her worthy son
honored with the nomination.
Hon. W. R. Morrison, of
Chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee of the last
Congress, is a candidate for the
nomination for Vice President
on the Democratic ticket. Cleve-
land and Morrison will not be a
poor team, and with them as the
nominee there would be no
certainty as to the attitude of
the Democracy upon the
of tax reduction. Both are
pronounced advocates of tariff
reform. It seems to be the
nos., general belief that Indiana
will be given second place on the
ticket.
The general debate on the
tariff bill closed last Saturday
and now the measure will be
read by sections for amendment
and debate under the five minute
rule. Friday and Saturday were
exciting days in the House, as
the acknowledged leaders and
best posted men of both sides
were to close the debate. On
Friday the debate was opened
by Mr. of Ohio, in
opposition to the bill, and his
speech was applauded by his
Republican colleagues. Mr.
Breckenridge, of Kentucky, re-
plied to this in a very strong and
forcible speech, the popularity
of which was frequently attested
to by loud bursts of applause.
At its conclusion a perfect ova-
was tended Mr.
his pressing around him
and congratulating him upon his
great speech. On Saturday Mr.
of Maine, spoke in
to the bill, making the
closing speech on the
can side. He is the recognized
leader of his party, a man
in debate, and presented his
side of the case with all the skill
and cunning of which he is mas-
Speaker replied to
Mr. and for an hour and a
half he held the attention of the
House. His speech was a mas-
of eloquence and
had the true ring of hon-
in it and was almost
unanswerable. At its
close the applause was deafening
and the enthusiastic friends of the
speaker crowded around him
eager to shake his hand and offer
their congratulations.
In the House last Friday Mr
Randall of Pennsylvania, made
speech in opposition to the
Mills tariff reform bill reported
to Congress. He came out
squarely in favor of a high pro-
tariff, his speech being
of that kind that is calculated to
please even the most rabid Re-
publican. We have claimed for
some time that Randal was a
traitor and a drew back to the
Democratic which is
pledged to tariff reform, and now
that he has shown his true col-
ors and declared defiance to the
Democratic caucus, we say let
him go along with
the Republican opponents of the
people with all intents
purposes, he acting

called and each was
to be properly represented, and the
Convention was declared ready for
permanent organization.
On motion of J. A. the
temporary officers of the Convention
were made permanent. y
On motion of Barry Skinner,
amended by D. C. Moore, the
gates of the respective town-
ships retired and selected one
gate each to represent the county
in the State Convention, and their
proper representation to the Con-
Convention. The five re-

Sir following letter
should have been received by me
last Saturday, but owing to the fact
that no Northern mail was received
at this place on that day is the reason
why the letter was not read in the

intended it should be. It having
been intended for the public and to
have been read in the Convention.

There was a slight ripple of excite-

of the newly elected
Board of Town last
Wednesday. The old Board met
formally turned over affairs to
the new Board. The latter consist-
ed of J. P. T. A. Wilkes,
both colored, in the First Ward;
Oscar Hooker and R. Williams, Jr.,
in the Second Ward; J. J. Perkins
and A. F. in the Third Ward.
Republicans claimed the First
and Third Wards and their idea was
to elect Mr. Perkins as Mayor and
not have him qualify as Councilman,
such being their intention at the
time of bis running. They
this easy enough by capturing
two wards, as it would have been,
but just prior to the meeting
morning it was ascertained Mr.
A. F. who was elected on
the ticket with Mr. Perkins, would
not vote with the Republicans, but
with the Democrats. This dividing

Commencement at
Editor
At the request of many of your
readers, I send this account of
closing exercises of Mule
and Female Academy.
Early on Friday tbs
grounds began to be dotted with
horses, buggies, gentlemen a
respectable sprinkling of young,
handsome intelligent ladies.
The large building was beautifully
decorated with flowers and ever-
greens. The front was tastily and
beautifully arranged with a large
and attractive arch with the words
standing out in bold
letters. The grounds were shaded
by an arbor visitors were
accommodated with convenient
seats underneath. The piano was on
the front corridor with the music
teacher at her post and assisted by
Messrs. Edgar Harriss and. L. B.
two young men who
are experts at the violin. The
exercises consisted of
essays, selections and
interspersed with the sweet
of piano and violins.
At o'clock Maj. Henry
who had been selected to de-
liver the literary address was intro-
and for one hour our citizens
never listened to a more instructive,
logical and practical speech. The
Major exhibited familiarity with all
progressive studies of education
and spoke with such force and pa-
as secured the load and
of vast concourse
of people. We regard Mr. Harding
as of tho best speakers in
State and is perfectly at home
discussing the educational topics of
day. At the conclusion of his
admirable address, Miss Nettie
Patrick presented a handsome
of flowers accompanied with
a neat little speech, The Major re-
in words of eloquence and
beauty gracefully festooned with
the richest gems of poetic lore. At
this time the table was spread by
ladles and the crowd invited to
share feast which bad
been prepared for occasion.
exercises were resumed after-
noon and continued two hours when
the crowd dispersed. At night it
seemed that the wood. and
every available spot was filled to its
utmost to witness last.

The farmers are busy chopping
cotton, but the infant is
delicate.
Falkland boasts of as many differ-
societies as any place of its size
in the State. A Grange, an Alli-
a Temperance Reform Club, a
Sunday School, all in flourishing
condition, and monthly religions
semen
The Sunday School was organized
yesterday by Mr. Jas. H.
His lecture on Sunday School work
was able and effective he is

and fully sustained his already
wide reputation.
The second monthly debate of the
Falkland Reform Club tame off last
Friday night The decision of

been more destructive to
try, war or intemperance was in
favor of war.
The social event of season was
the fish fry at Bluff, given
by J- M. and H. T. King, on Tues-
day last. There was a large
present, composed of young folks
and old folks, married folks and
single folks, old and old
maids, young ladies and young men,
small boys and little girls, from the
vicinity. They all came to have
fun, eat fish and spend a day on
Tar. The young people
spent most of the day in boat riding,
old gentlemen talked politics,
married ladies in looking after their
children. At o'clock dinner was
announced, and under
of Mrs. J. M. King, every-
thing was tastily arranged on a
large sweet gum log ed nature
for the occasion. There were shad,
herring, cat fish and numerous
kinds, baked, stewed and fried,
prepared by Kings for their
guests, who hugely partook till the
inner man was filled. It was the
general opinion that J. M. got
the outside of more fish than
two men present, and Forbes
and Dr. were surely there.
With the sun fast sinking in
West, the gallant youth baring ex-
his vocabulary,
weary of gliding with fair ones
on the silvery waters reluctantly bid
adieu to the scenes of the day's
pleasure and once more consign his
fair companion to parental charge.
On Friday it was our pleasure to
attend the semi-leap year picnic. at
Mill. All viands
could tempt appetite were
spread, which the fair man
agers dispensed with a lavish hand.
The repast over the balance of
day was spent in piscatorial pleas-
on the pond, and not the

for their respective homes, all heap-
praises on fair managers for

The South is Coming.
A New Yorker who has been

say in an interview published in a
northern paper
New factories are opening, new
capital invested, and immigrants
are coming to the towns where bus-
is. Croakers who are talking
down the South take big chances on
public credulity. There are fewer
debts in the South today than at
any time since the war. There is
more popular confidence than has
ever been known. tell yon the
people are going to have fatter
purses than Dixie ever dreamed of.
Instead of backward steps the new
South is taking on the full
strength of its And

What is this with
which so many stem now to be afflicted
If you will remember a few years ago the
word comparatively unknown
to-day it is as common as any word in
the English language, yet this word
only meaning another word
used by our forefathers in times past. So
it is with nervous diseases, as they and
Malaria are Intended to cover what our
grandfathers called Biliousness, and all
are caused by troubles that arise from a
diseased condition of the Liver h in
performing its functions hading it cannot
dispose of the bile the ordinary
channel is compelled to pass it off through
the system, causing nervous troubles,
Malaria, Fever, etc. You who
are suffering can well appreciate a cure.
We recommend Green's August Flower,
Its cures are marvelous.

The Canning Industry.
We learn from the Raleigh News
and Observer that Capt. J. T. Patrick,
of has
returned from Baltimore, where be
went several days ago in the inter-
est of the fruit canners of this State
to make an effort to secure
ed and economical outfits for them
at a minimum cost. Mr. Patrick re-
ports that his trip was most highly
satisfactory. He succeeded in
arrangements to secure canning
outfits at about one-third what
has heretofore been paid for them.
The canning industry, is becoming
important interest in our State
and Mr. Patrick receives many let-
concerning the industry. It is
a matter that ought to be developed,
and Mr. Patrick is moving in the
right direction.
Plenty of Wealth.
Messenger.
We do not think our of
the State press have given sufficient
prominence to the immigration
movement, which is designed to add
not only to the population but to the
wealth of the State as well.
It win hardly be denied that, con-
our climate and our soil,
North Carolina is One of the most
desirable States to which
grants could come. There Is not
only soil and climate in oar favor,
but we also possess mineral deposits
if worked by men who have
the means, would not only be a
source of riches to them but to the
State as well-
So every effort be made to
bring immigrants to the State. We
not only wish to increase wealth
and to enrich our commonwealth,
but also to give intending citizens
homes and advantages that will sat-
We moss be prepared to
welcome to State all good and
true folk, and we must offer them
material inducements. We can do
tins. There is vast wealth to be
out of soil and mined oat of
minerals.
