of such action to the
can people, whose confidence is thus
invited, and to the political
to which I belong, just entering up-
on a contest for continued
The does not afford a specs
more sublime than is
ed when millions of free and
gent American citizens select their
Chief Magistrate, and bid one of
their number to find the highest
earthly honor and the full measure
of public duty in a ready submission
to will.
It follows Hint the candidate for
this high office can never forget that
the turmoil and strife which
attended Hie selection of its
bent shall be no more there
must be in the quiet calm which fol
lows a complete and solemn sell
consecration, by the people's chosen
President of every faculty and en-
to the service of a confiding
and generous nation of freemen.
These thoughts are intensified by
the light of my experience in the
Presidential which has sober-
impressed me with the severe re-
which it imposes,
it quickened my love for
American and taught
me the priceless value of the trust
of my countrymen.
It is of the highest importance
that those who administer gov
should jealously
maintain rights of
can citizens at homo and abroad,
and should strive to achieve for
country its proper place among the
of the earth ; but there is no
people whose home interests are so
and whose numerous objects
of domestic concern deserve so much
care.
Among these ate the regulations

to needs, thus an
agency of wealth and
general prosperity ; the construction

such safety reposes; the

value of American labor, leading to
a scrupulous care and just
of the interest our working-
men ; the limitation and checking
of such monopolistic and
schemes as interfere with the ad
vantages and benefits which the
people may rightly claim ; a
regard and care for our
soldiers and sailors, for the
widows orphans of such as have
died, to the end that while

their fund to improper cases

against servile Immigration, which
injuriously competes with our labor-
men in the field of toil, and
adds to our population an element
ignorant of our institutions and laws,
impossible of assimilation with our
people and dangerous to our
and welfare; a strict and steadfast
adherence to the principles of civil
service reform, and the thorough ex-
of the laws passed for their
enforcement, thus permitting to our
people the advantages of business
methods in the of their
government; a guaranty to our col-
citizens of all their rights of
citizenship and their just
and encouragement in all
things to that relation;
a firm, patient, and humane Indian
policy so that in the peaceful relax

of the Indian may be pro-

safety to the settlers on our iron
tiers; and the of public
expense the introduction of

The pledges contained in the plat-
form adopted by the late

to the advancement of these objects,

these circumstances, and in
view of this necessary effect of the
operation of our for raising
revenue, the absolute duty of limit-
the rate of tariff charges to the
necessities of a frugal

seems to be perfectly plain.
Tho continuance, upon the pretext
of meeting public expenditures, of
such a scale, of tariff taxation as
draws from the the substance of the
people a sum in excess of the
public needs, is surely something
which, under a government based
upon justice, which finds its
strength and usefulness in the faith
and trust of the people, ought not
to be tolerated.
While the heaviest burdens

light burdens become grievous and
intolerable when not justified by

ideas of freedom and happiness.
When presented the direct form
nothing will arouse popular
tent more quickly and profoundly
than unjust and unnecessary
la-
borers, and all our citizens closely
scan the slightest increase in taxes
assessed upon their lands and other
property, and demand good reason
for such increase. And yet they

regard tho unnecessary vol-
of insidious and indirect

The surplus revenue now remain

desperate and independent menace
to the prosperity of the people.
The vast accumulation of idle funds
represent that much money drawn

country, which is needed in the
channels of trade and business. It
is a great mistake to suppose that
the consequences which follow the
withdrawal and hoarding
by the government of the currency

importance to the mass of citizens
and only concerns those engaged in
large financial transactions.
produced, we must not overlook the
tendency towards and scan-
public extravagance which a
congested treasury induces, nor the
fact that are imagining without
excuse, a time profound peace,
substantially the rate of tariff duties
imposed in a time of war, when the
necessities the government

burdens the people.
Divers plans have been suggest ed
for the retain of this accumulated
surplus to the people and tho
of trade. Some of these devices j
are at variance with all rules of good j
finance; some are delusive, some arc j
absurd, and some betray by their
reckless extravagance the I

public money upon the
of individuals. While such efforts
should be made as ore consistent

sin plus now remaining in the treas-
it is evident that if its
were accomplished another
cumulation would soon take its place I
if the constant flow of a redundant
income was not checked at its source
by reform to our present tariff laws.
We do not to deal with
these conditions by merely attempt-
to satisfy the people of the truth
of abstract theories, by alone
urging their assent to a political
doctrine. We present to them the
proposition that they are
treated in the extent of the present
federal taxation i that as the result
a condition of extreme danger ex-
and that it is for them to
a remedy, that defense
and safety promised In the
tees of their free government.
We believe that the same means
which are adopted to relieve the
treasury of its present surplus and
prevent its recurrence should cheap-
en to our people the cost of supply-
their daily wants. Both of
these objects we seek in part to
gain by reducing the present tariff
rates the necessaries of life.
We fully appreciate tho

tic industrial enterprises. In the
rectification of existing wrongs
their maintenance and prosperity
should be carefully in a friendly
spirit considered. Even such

as have been invited or
encouraged should be fairly and
justly regarded. Abrupt and
cal changes, which might endanger
enterprises, and injuriously
the interests of labor depend-
their success and
are not contemplated or in-
tended. Bat we know the cost of
our domestic manufactured products
is increased, and their price to cons

the increased cost prevents the sale
of our productions at foreign mar-
in competition with those

of free raw material. We
know that, confined to the home
market, opera-
tors are curtailed, demand for
labor Irregular, and the rate of
paid uncertain.
We propose, therefore, to
late our domestic industrial enter-
prises by freeing from duty the
ported raw materials which, by the
employment of labor, are used in
home manufactures, thus
tending the markets for their sale,
and permitting increased steady
production with the allowance

True to the course of
the Democratic party, we will not
neglect the interests of labor and

remedy existing evils we will fur-

of tho necessaries of life, we increase
the purchasing power of the work-1

And before passing from this
phase of the question I am constrain
to express the opinion that while
the interests of labor should be
ways sedulously regarded in any
modification of laws,
and more direct and efficient
protection to these interests would
be afforded by the restriction and
prohibition of immigration, or the
importation of laborers from other
countries, who swarm upon our
shores, having no purpose or

quiring any permanent interest in
our country, but who crowd every

religious faith. We regret
been called upon to say this
much, as we do not seek a con-

his persistent efforts to draw
a reply from the Reflector has
necessitated it. We will say in
conclusion that the editorial

dist preacher, a pastor of a

certainly loses influence and
weakens the church for which
he labors when he assumes

more especially is this true
when the pulpit is used as a
means from which to

The Congressional Canvass.
Hon. a. Q. Skinner and Mr. E. A.
White, the candidates for
in this district, made three speeches
in Pitt county last week. We were
only able to bear one of these
speeches, t on Thurs-
day. Mr. White was. the first
speaker, and alter a few
remarks of an an important

which he said was the main issue
dividing the two parties, and de
voted his entire speech to that
question alone. Mr. White is

plainly that be was laboring at a
disadvantage, and seemed consider-
ably embarrassed. At first we

they could not do. He believed the
bill to be unconstitutional, did not
support it for that reason, and knew
the people did not want him -to go

The Democrats were in favor of
economy in departments, and if.
the people wanted their spent
in that way they should elect him to
Congress. The Republicans had

in the future if given power, and if
the people desired their money

man to represent them. He had
learned extravagance in the corrupt
Republican legislature of
which did so much to cast edit
upon North Carolina, and as he had
learned well, he was amply able to
squander money again. After paying
a glow tribute to the Democratic
nominees President and Vice
President, and speaking a good
word for our state ticket Mr. Skin-
took his seat.
A reply of fifteen minutes was

charged the Democrats with being

tempted to prove that the last three
years of Republican administration
had cost less money than the three
years of President Cleveland's ad-
ministration.
He declared himself to ho a
farmer an Alliance man, President

the district been represented in
Congress by any one except a law-
save one time, and then by a
physician, and that it was time that
the farmers had one of their class to

He proved by the record that the
assertions of Mr. White were untrue
and showed the burdens of
Mr. Skinner showed himself
perfect master of the subject and ex-
plained it more satisfactorily than
any speaker we have ever listened
to. He answered Mr. White's
charges that the Democrats had
failed to fulfill their pledges to run
the government more economically
and to repeal the internal revenue,
by showing how much money had
been saved by the Democratic ad-
ministration, and said that more
would have been saved bad not the
Republican Senate increased every-
appropriation bill sent them the
Democratic House. That in the col-
of the internal revenue

saved. As to the abolition of the
revenue laws no National Democrat
platform had ever adopted such a
feature, and the party was not
pledged to its repeal. That in
North Carolina the Democrats fa

selves to try to repeal it, and on
possible occasion had thus

of North Carolina, offered an amend-

Two great questions divided the
two parties- The Republicans fa-
a high protective tariff that

down the poor man, and pro-
posed to get rid of the surplus by
lavish expenditures of the public
money. The Democrats favored a
tariff that only raised enough
to expenses of the
government economically ad mi
that the tariff, instead of
bearing heaviest upon the common
necessaries of life should bear
heaviest it bear at all, upon
the unnecessary luxuries of the rich.
By this means there would be no
surplus created, the poorer classes
would get their necessaries cheaper,
there would no unjust
in favor of the rich and
against the poor. He proved Mr.
White's assertion that the
rats were free traders to be utterly
without foundation, and showed
that a Republican commission,

Mr. Skinner addressed a good
crowd in the Court House here Sat

possible, than the one at

they never listened to an abler or
more convincing argument.

Virginia, of whose daughters
has lately made her debut as a
star.
Miss Alberta concerning
whom there has been
newspaper talk of late, is the
of the distinguished
ate General Albert Gallatin Jenkins
who was killed in late war, and
a grand niece of Albeit Gallatin, at
one time Secretary of United
States Navy.
Miss Gallatin possesses a lovely,
mobile face, a graceful figure and a
rare degree of intelligence. She has
been most successful in delineating
such characters as Juliet,
and Julia. Her talents are
varied to enable her to assume
with good effect a wide range of

It is of note that this
young actress is always the
of marked social attentions from
distinguished people both north and

that more persons die from diseases of the
Throat and Lungs than any other. It is
probable that everyone, without

Germs into the the system and where
these germs fall upon suitable soil they
start into and develop, at first slowly
and is shown by a slight tickling
in the throat and if allowed to con-
their ravages they extend to the
lungs producing Consumption and to the
head, causing Catarrh. Now all this is
dangerous arid if allowed to proceed will
in time cause death. At the onset you
must act with promptness; Allowing a

The Stab stands squarely on the
National Democratic platform. It. be-
that any tribute exacted from
