the tariff and force bill due
attention and showed up the evils
in them. All the speeches were
good and listened to by a large
concourse of people.
Here is a brief tariff example
that shows how the iniquitous
bill put in force by a
Republican Congress
against the poor and in
favor of the rich man. Take
woolen goods, for The
tax on the cheapest grade of
goods is per cent., on
goods it is per cent., on
per cent, while on it is
only per cent. Thus the cheap
grade that the poor man has to
buy is taxed per cent, and the
best grade which the rich man
buys is taxed only per cent.,
a little over half as much. One
hundred years ago there was a
tariff tax of but per cent all
around on these goods making it
equal on both the rich and poor.
Then take hosiery cheap grades
costing cents per dozen are
taxed per cent., those costing
per dozen are taxed per
cent., and those costing per
dozen are taxed per cent., or
just a little more than half, as in
the other example; the poor
man paying the high tax and the
rich man the low tax. All other
goods will be found very much in
the same proportions.
Now look at the difference in
price paid by the home buyer and
the foreign buyer for
Take shovels for example
The home buyer pays 19.20 per
dozen for them while the foreign
buyer can get them at
Thus the manufacturer ships his
goods off from home to foreign
countries and sells them much
cheaper than he will sell them to
the home purchases- There is
about the proportionate difference
on other goods.
And this is protection It
should rather be robbery,
for it is robbing the farmer and
laboring man of their hard earned
dollars that the manufacturers of
the North may become rich. The
Republican party is responsible
for this state of affairs. Reader,

She was young and beautiful, devotedly

in society, and of great force of
character and influence in all the
relations of life. She had been extreme-

things pertaining to its good. On 28th
of May, 1888. she was graduated from
Greensboro Female College. The friends
of her school days, scattered throughout
the State, will be pained to learn of her
death. On the 14th of March, 1889, she
was married to Dr. Zeno Brown. Their
devotion to each their mutual
tender regard and intense affection
seemed to perfect. On a bright
lovely Sabbath morning, among a great

The National Democrat which
was established in Washington
one year ago by Edmund Hudson,
with the endorsement of many of
the great leaders of the party, has
entered upon its second year with
a circulation of copies each
week. This is perhaps the largest
circulation eyer attained by a
weekly newspaper during first
of its existence.
Democrat occupies a field of its
own, and that too long remained
unfilled. It gives a complete re-
cord of political information,
including the most important
speeches that are delivered by
Democratic leaders in
and on the stump. It is
the party an important
service, and should be read by all
who wish to keep fully informed
in regard to public affairs and who
mean to defeat the wicked scheme
of the Republican leaders to
cure permanent control of the
Government, in spite of the fact
that they are, and must remain
the minority party in this

LOTS TO HEALTH
Thirty Men Faint In a Land Company
Building out in Minn.
The excitement over the sale of lots, which
were to be sold here by a land company, was
so great that men crow jostled,
and pushed other in the hall of the com-
office from 5.30 in the evening until
the next morning, awaiting the opening
sale of There was no ventilation and
the team heat was intense. Over thirty men
were pulled out through the transom in a
tainting condition. The scene was horrible
and nauseating from the closeness and odor.
When the door was opened the men were
crowded between narrow railings, looking as
though they had passed through a pestilence
up to the counter to select lots.
The whole plat was sold, and men went
away without lots.

point or two nearer north, pretty much all of
the town would have gone. The loss is
with about insurance.
The tire started Stewart Butt's spindle
mill, just beyond the e limits on the north,
and destroyed that large establishment. The
sparks fell in many of the warehouses within
a radius of half a mile to south, and
fires broke out simultaneously, the first
noticed being among the cotton on the Mobile
and Railroad wharf. This was
at once tumbled oft into the slip, and, though
scorched was saved.
Almost at the same time the Goodman and

All northern part of the town is taken up

There was a rain of sparks from the shingle

of the fire in several warehouses at once.
The dense smoke was blowing steadily down

be done, therefore, to stop the progress
of the flames, and it was not until an open

Strange Animals That Infest the

flowers, red and yellow monthly musk,
fringing the banks of the stream where it
spread out over the meadow in a dozen
different channels. Charlie wanted to

Besides these several were taken
by the whites here and at Point Hope,
and others were captured by the natives
of the numerous villages scattered along
the coast.
About the middle of the month of
April, though much depends on the con- j
of the winds and currents, a lead
usually opens on the ice from five to ten
miles out from shore, and allows the
whales to come along. Soon as the lead
opens whales can be seen, sometimes
pushing their way through quite heavy
drift ice on their migratory journey
northward. In general they move along
quite rapidly, seldom showing them-
selves more than one rising.
By the time the lead opens the natives
are supposed to have everything ready
for a start after whales. Canoes over-
hauled, fresh skins of walrus, or seal,
have been prepared and put on the canoes
where needed, seal pokes have been made,
guns, lances, bombs, lines and harpoons
looked prepared and ready for
the great work of the season.
The ordinary outfit for a canoe is one
darting gun, carrying harpoon and
bomb; one shoulder gun, for bomb, car-
and other ammunition; three or
four rifles and fowling piece; a furnace,
with few splints of wood to start the fire;
food, blubber, clothing, etc., etc.; snow

ducks, bear or walrus, when they cannot

They sleep without shelter on the ice or
in the or whenever
sleep overtakes them. The furnace is
more for melting snow for drink than
for cooking; tho they have no j
to cooked food, yet they eat it raw
from sheer laziness. With a few splints
of wood a fire can be started, and when I j
fed with blubber it is surprising how-
rapid snow enough can be melted to
satisfy the thirst of forty or fifty people.

we met a dog, and after him his master,

more, larger ones. Campbell called them

as long as there was grass, we saw these
whistling dogs, as we got to call them. I
liked to see them; they seemed to make the

coats get a dark gray; in summer they are

There was a strange sight at the
of Washington Hunter streets

A large water oak tree, growing on the
Capitol grounds, was the center of the

About two feet from the base of the
tree, the exterior of which was blackened
and the leaves and branches drooping
and wilted, a sunken-in place shaped
like a needle's eye, the center of the eye
extending almost to the heart of the tree,
was an opening. From this aperture a
volume of hot steam belched forth, and
the sound of boiling sap could be heard
distinctly. In places the hot sap oozed
through the bark in long seams. It was
a strange sight, and for a good while its
cause was unaccountable. To the touch
the tree was unbearably hot.
The only cause that could be assigned
to overcome. A wall of for the freak was a stray wire, which was

feet or more, extended for miles all along
the edge of the floe. To launch a canoe
over this wall into the open lead, filled
with floating ice would be but a trifling
job, but to get back again or to land on
the floe ice was the great difficulty.
Along the floe the currents were running
about four knots an hour. No boat with-
out steam could make headway in the
drift ice. One canoe, however, made
the attempt, but was swept helplessly
away. The crew found, when too late,
amid the whirling ice that their efforts
to stem the current was powerless, but

two years will be necessary for the
age. The discovery of certain relics of

certain weapons found on the coast of
Greenland with those found by the
Eskimo in the vicinity of Straits

mouth of the Yukon River, lead to the
supposition that there is a route,

A Course of Diet That Will

A certain celebrated woman doctor,
who knows all the fat women in London

the best authorities on obesity in the
country, is just home from England. It
is rumored that she went abroad on a

from the occult world forbidding her to

plainly cooked fish; a choice of roast
meats or game, minus gravies, sauces and
condiments, and any non-starch
table, such as lettuce, spinach, asparagus,
tomatoes, and for dessert a small
quantity of raw fruit or stewed fruit.
This diet is for the reduction of adipose
tissue, but if tho patient is subject to
gout, rheumatism, kidney troubles,
and wants to cure them she must resort
to a strict diet of beef and hot water.
The meat must be minced and can be
broiled or baked. The hot water is to
be taken in pint one and a half,
hours before the meat.

History of Pen Making.
A Roman metal pen is said
have been found at a mere
stylus, but a pen, slit, and there
is evidence of a pen or reed of bronze
nearly as late as the invention of printing,
in the fifteenth century.
A hundred years ago, some steel pens
were made in Birmingham, England,
Mr. Harrison for Dr. Priestly, and some
of these passed into the hands of Sit
Joseph Mason, in his early days with Mr.
Harrison, but all of them have been lost.
The first pen of metal, of a date beyond
all question, is one in a Dutch patent
book of 1717. At the same time a polite
ode by Pope refers to a and gold
but these were evidently luxuries
only.
It was about 1823 or 1824 that
great revolution in making pens by s
cheaper hand screw press,
which pierced the pens from sheet steel
began. Previously pens had been
made from steel or gold rolled into tubes
and with a joint forming the slit. These
required considerable labor to shape them
into a pen form. The use of u screw
press belongs to the period of John
Mitchell, Joseph and Joseph
Mason; but on a careful review of the
facts it seems to be Clear that John
Mitchell has the best claim to be con-
as the introducer of press made
pens. Skinner, of Sheffield, England,
was apparently one of the to cheapen
the production of pens, but his

History of Electric Lighting.
Electric lighting, says M. Fontaine,
did not make its appearance until near
the close of the year 1878. It was
Paris, in November, 1873, in the work-
shop of M. Gramme, that the first install-
i on a really industrial scale of
j lighting took place by means of a
continuous current dynamo and
I regulators. It was also in Paris, in 1877,
that the candle was first em-
ployed; sixteen lights, distributed over a
distance of about yards, being sup-
plied by a single alternate current Gramme
machine. Paris, therefore, had the hon-
or of possessing the first public and
lighting produced by means of
currents. M. Fontaine thinks that
in 1890 or th e electric lighting in
Paris will require for its production mo-
force equal, in round numbers, to

says the trains stop there amply

Large Potatoes.
Mr. John Flanagan is a champion

pounds, another was almost as
large and the last was a very small
one. This beats the record.

Cooper pays out from to

who ship tobacco to him
to send it in bulk and then get ex-

knowing this will enable them to
get better prices. Between this
floor and the sales room is a large
elevator to facilitate handling
tobacco. To look over that large
sales floor one who does not know
much about tobacco warehouses
would hardly believe there is ever
enough of weed earned there
at one time to cover it. But

fitted with a double office splendid-

and extending across one end of
the building are a number of rooms,
comfortably arranged, in which

upper room in one of their tenement
house, and was unable to the

In the second place, the passenger
trains are all the lime behind. From
one to two hours behind the printed
schedule is the running schedule.
There was a whisper a days ago
that some were ready to sue
the company if proper connection
was not made with other trains at
Weldon. Persons go to the depot at
Scotland Neck at a. m., the ad-
schedule, and sit there wait-
for the train until nearly
o'clock frequently. Now, this is
simply an outrage. It is not in
with the usual courtesies of one
gentleman towards another. A man's
time is his money in this country,
and no man has any right lo make
another wait for him it it can
be avoided. All this delay is
caused by the passenger train having
to handle freights.
A passenger train on a railroad
line nearly miles long has no
right to be fooling with freight ears.
When men get on a freight ear to
ride they the chances better
or for worse; but when they get on a
regular passenger train, they always
calculate for a ride accord-
to schedule. The authorities
ought have more self-respect than
to have every man and woman that
travels over the line continually
grumbling at out slow schedules.
And then freights are handled ton
carelessly If things are smashed
up much longer as have boon of
late the road will be the loser. The
train hands have so much work to
do that they can not do it well.
Another daily freight train would
cure the whole thins;.
