Temperance Reform Club meets in their room every Monday night, at In the House Baltimore Sun. 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.

If his wages are increased, bay, because prises of products are increased, then the price of labor is dependent the price of and the amount must be is pro- portion to the other. It follows, them, as day, that tie laborer pace with the increase in his wages, In truth, all economic history- shows that wages have always been lowest when prices have been high- est, thus furnishing most conclusive proof that workingman's reward has been increased as science has enlarged his intelligence and I proved his implements, and freedom I has stimulated bis energies, all of his products have been multiplied and cheapened. Just at this time, pending, tariff reform agitation in House, in common with other Congressmen, am daily deluged with slave-trade pamphlets, all more or less distress- ed to death over the horrible fate of the workingman, and appealing to the to save him. One pamphlet, which is beaded as Foreign Raid Be pen I paring for the Onslaught on Amer- Industries Then follows the startling information that a lot of iron-masters are preparing to flood this country with cheap house and bridge-building material, and have already scattered their ad- circulars over the laud anticipation of the of the free trade Con- The writer then says that a Tariff League representative got a list of their prices on beam iron, found that they offered them per ton, plus 82.44 charges and and adds that American manufacturers can- not make such beams for less than Of course, he says, labor cost, more than anything else, makes this difference It so pens, however, that the census of 1880 gives us statistics, furnished by the manufacturers themselves, of the percentage of labor in the working of America; percentage is 18.77- At this rate labor in a ton of such iron in Belgium is about in America duty is and ocean freight 82.44 against Bel- Now, what becomes of the which remains after paying the American iron-worker three the wages of the Belgian f No man with common sense Can doubt for a moment that it goes into the pocket of the manufacturer. He shouts 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 ounce, whilst the working men re- as wages as before Yet it would appear they ask us to believe their today because they lied to us yesterday.

Secretary Bayard has endeared to every patriotic American citizen by bis manly and courage- instructions to Mr. our minister to in cases of several naturalized American cit- who have been arrested and compelled to do military in France. When their release was demanded by our Minister, the French Minister replied in each case question allegiance was one over which the administration had no jurisdiction and set- by the courts. It was fully set forth that under French principles is re- by parentage and not by the place of birth, and that expatriation of the French citizen requires the consent of the French Government. Upon these points Mr. Bayard has instructed Minister to in- form French Government that the Government of the United States holds that the certificate of naturalization granted by it to a French citizen is not open to by the French Govern- either in its executive or ice judicial branch. In plain English we propose to see that American citizens are allowed to travel molested wherever they may desire to go. But to return to Mr. Bay- instructions.

I don't believe this charge, not the Senators named would object to carrying out such a plan were it feasible, but be- cause are entirely too shrewd to attempt anything which they know it is impossible to accomplish, and this would certainly be If I were disposed to wager on this subject, have no hesitation whatever in laying odds that Mr. Fuller would be confirmed inside of three weeks, and unless more serious than any- thing yet brought against him should be unearthed, his is likely to be Another good republican office holder his gone wrong.

This latter was truly a convention of representative men of Pitt men, men, men who have the best interests and welfare of the grand old county at heart.

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.

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 yew. Straws tell which the wind blows, and by their actions men declare their purposes. If the can be judged by the present, then indeed are the future cal prospects Pitt county bright and encouraging for the We have never seer, men who took more interest in politics or seemed more determined than are those Democrats with whom we have talked recently, and those who attended the County here last Saturday. The ob- of the Convention was for the purpose selecting to the State and Conventions, and these Con- are usually by those who were not gates. Instead of following the old plan Saturday, there was the largest and most intelligent body of Democrats assembled the Court House that we have ever seen there except at the county Dominating conventions, and it was many of these A look into the faces those who attended the Convention spec- showed them to be of thought, of intelligence, of deter- the very flower of tardy yeomanry, and the resolute eagerness with which they watch- proceedings showed them to be deeply interested. The too, were an intelligent, earnest body of men, doing their work deliberately and with- out confusion. All these things augur well for the Democracy and bodes ill to those Independent Re- publican brethren who have Pitt county affairs the past six years. So mote it be. County Convention. Pursuant to the call issued by the Democratic Executive Committee for the Count v Democrats of Pitt met in Convention Saturday, May 1888, for the purpose of elect- delegates to the State which meets in Raleigh on the 30th and to the Congressional Convention of the First District, which will meet at some day to designated hereafter. standing the fact that only gates were a voice in the Convention the attendance was very large, and those who were anxious and interested tors indeed. At twelve o'clock A. L. Blow, Chairman of the Democrat- Executive Committee called the to order, and in a speech of five minutes, which was ate, well-timed, to the point and highly appreciated explained the object for which the meeting had assembled. B. Williams, Jr of the Executive Committee, and D.

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 Democratic Convention as its writer intended it should be.

There was a slight ripple of excite- matters municipal at the or- 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 the Board equally upset all Mr. Per- plans for the Mayoralty and necessitated as to keep vote even.

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.

The second monthly debate of the Falkland Reform Club tame off last Friday night The decision of house on query bas 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.
