Th RtiitMTille iAndmark talks about the
Congressional question in this District as if
" peking by the bookn or from sonic well
nb?d nroTamme. It tells us how the
counties will vote, how the ballots in Dis-
- M CT 1
trict Convention are likely to fall, and thinks
it not Imnrobatte that "the dark horse" will
finallv win the steaks. Among 'other things
. ..
it savs Rowan will cast her vote for Mr. bho-
. 1
bcr and just hcrewe begin to doubt the
prophetic utterances of our neighbor. Ccr-
tainly from our stand point it don't lok so
to us; but on the contrary that Maj. Rob-
bins is yet the favorite of the people of this
County. His successful career a9 a Congress
man has confirmed his friends as to his fit
ness for the place.
We think it liardly probable that any
" dark horse" stands much chance. Never
theless, if it should turn out that new and
hitherto unnamed men shall be brought for
ward in the District Convention, the Rowan
delegation will most likely enter our cher
ished & rising fellow citizen, Kerr Craig r.
Esq., than whom Rowan has none it would
more delight her citizens to honor by en
trusting to his hands the highest interests
to be delegated.
A correspondent -writing' from Amity
Hill, over the signature of "mauy citizens,"
without giving a responsible name, does
not, of course, expect .ns to publish. Ve
have no objection however, to stating the
writer's point. He wants to know if Rov?j
an is going to send a certain class of citi-
nentothe Legislature, btato your ob-
jections to the class mentioned. You
have opinions on the subject and doubt-
less come by them honestly, and you have
the right to express them. If they are
sound they are likely to lie popular.
Every free man ought to have opinions of
his own, and know upon what facts they
ar linfiMl.
Commissioner Ran 111 has been -scenting
and tracking a whiskey fraud in Cincinnati
for the last six mouths aud has at last got
it cornered. He estimates it at aboutl
$1,250,000. These are big rascals and I
will therefore have a magnificent airing

From the Raleigh Observer.
Wednesday, May 8th, 1873. Monday's
"special" to The Observer reports Mr.
Scales as expressing the opinion that the
vote on the bill reducing the tax on to
bacco was a fair test vote and that the
passage of the bill was certain. In this
there is error. He regards the passage of
the bill doubtful. Mr. Steele entertains
hike doubts. Senator Merrinion basse
rious doubts about the Senate. Senator
Ransom on the contrary thinks the bill
can le pulled through the Senate. Your
readers are entitled to these conflicting
views , and I therefore give them as the
most reliable intelligence accessible.
Consideration of the tariff bill was re
umed to-dav. Mr. liobbius followed
Randolph Tucker iu a masterly speech.

Itjmght not to be paid by the present

The country is rapidly developing and if
no direful calamity befalls it it will soon
become the most prosperous country i 11
the world. A burden which would crush
us now would be a triflo then. The rate

they come to apprehend fully the great
outrage they suffer under this unjust sys
tem of legislation they will put an end to
it at all costs, event the hazard of dis
rupting parties and revolutionizing poli
tics, if necessary. The pendiug bill was
not all that he wanted. He believed in a
tariff for revenue only. He pointed out
the several excelleut features of the bill,
and the advantages it possessed over any
previous legislation in the same direction.
THE TOBACCO TAX.
The bill reported by the Committee of
Ways and Means, reducing the tax on to
bacco to sixteen cents, was not low enough
lie was the first to introduce a bill at the
very earliest day of the extra session, re-
iliirinrr the tax to twelve Cents on the
" CT - , - - .
notuwl. He believed it .was riffht then
1 . . - , r
nnil believes it is risrht now. The agita
tion of the question had caused grc.tt dis
turbance and very considerable loss to
the tobacco trade. He had been held re
sponsible for this agitation. He relied tin
the irood sense of his constituents, who well
knew his zeal and singleness of purpose
in behalf of their interests, for his com- j
plete vindication. While the tobacco j
tax remains as high as it is now agitation
for its reduction cannot be restrained. It
is the exorbitance of the tax that produces
til aritat,'ou. irrespective of the action of
Congresor any individual member of that
body. The demand for reduction conius
from the people from the producers. No
industry, in thiscountryvcan long survive
- cy
guch a burden of taxation as id now laid
upon the tobacco interest. Seeing this
agitation impending at the opening of
Couress, and knowing that the question
0
would be opened, noiiiatter what course
lie might pursue, he introduced a bill
promptly to reduce the tax, and since
that time he had earnestly aud - anxiously
labored to nrocure its early and favorable
adjustment. He here earnestly argued j
the expediency of a reducti.m. Statistics j
abuudautlv showed, he 'said, what com
mon sense and a knowledge, of the laws of ,
trade enabled everybody to foresee, that ;
by lowering the tax aud thus lightening
the burdeus on the tobacco business there
has been and will be a large increase in
the aggregate of that business. As to the
feasibility of reduction he showed that by
the present tariff (assuming that the pend
ing bill would not becoma a law) will
produce next year $133,00J,000 ; that the
Internal Revenue taxes will yield $120,-'
000,000. The proposed reduction on to-J
bacco will reduce the latter amount $0.
000,000. This leaves 247,000,000 as the 1
receipts for next year $13,000,000 more
than is needed for current expenses and
interest. The income tax will yield $10,-
000,000 more, should that bill become a
law. Ten millions more will be realized
by the passage of the present tariff bill.
From whatever point of view, therefore,
the justice, the practicability and the pro
priety of reducing the-tobacco tax seems
clear and indisputable.

Deprecating the bitter and relentless
spirit of the opposition to the tariff bill,
he said : "Will these daughters of the
horse-leech forever cry, 'Give, give V Will
those great and wealthy communities who.
under the existing system, have so long
thrived by contributions from their less
prosperous brethren never bo satisfied to
mitigate the burdens which they impose
upon the rest of us ? Look at Massachu
setts and Pennsylvania, for instance, with
their teeming millions of population and
their billions of wealth. Their valleys
bloom like the rose, aud their hill tops
are white with the beautiful cottages aud
vinetrellised homes of happy and thrifty
citizens. I rue, uuder the shadow of the
vast piles of wealth which corporations
and "monopolies have there heaped up,
we have heard the murmurE of discontent
from the toiling masses. But, neverthe
less, those States are rich and fortunate.
On the other hand, lmk at my own im
poverished State of North Carolina, with
a soil, climate, and natural resources sur
passed by none. The sun kisses her fair
cheek with the warmth of a youthful lov
er. Nor was any region ever occupied by
a more noble, brave, sober, steady, or
naturally industrious population. The
gentleman from New York (Mr. Town
send) paid them the just compliment the
other day of saying they were now at
work, doing their duty, and attending to
their own business. Let mo thank that
gentlemau for his kind and appreciative
remark, aud also tell him that North
Carolinians have always ben so .1 peo
ple of the manliest type, of the best habits,
and no nonesense. Yet they are politi
cally poor. Superficial observers have
attributed their slow material growth to
their own want of genius and energy.
Sir, have they show n any lack of these
qualities iu other. respects f No people
have shown a higher genius for govern
ment. No state has ever had wiser laws
or better rules. And in the late conflict
of anus, by the judgment of all her sis
ters, no State exhibited a greater capacity
ior waniKe organization, a sterner per
sistence, or a more titanic energy. Out

that large number of" States which have
suQVrcd and been retarded in prosperity
by unfair legislation and unjust treatment
on the part of t lit Federal government,
especially in tl.fs matter of taxation aud
the elUti ibutioh of favors. By my voice,
as one of her delegation here, she asks for
justice. She demands reform in the reve
nue system. She asks to be protected
from the so-called protectionists and from
the ruinous extortions and oppressions of
the internal revenue tax-gatherer, liohin
Hood, the free-lioorer of Sherwood Forest,
robbed rhe rich to help the poor, and yet
was accounted an outlaw. What must be
said of those'who rob the poor to favor
the rich, aud yet call it protection ! I ap
peal to this House' to adopt, the very mod
erate and conservative measures we have
reported looking towards a modification
of high protective tariff, duties now levied
for the benefit of the long favored manu
fuHuriug classes., and a reduction of the
exorbitant taxes now imposed upon the
products of t lie field, and thus give the
agriculturists and agricultural States a
more even chance in the race for wealth
aiud prosperity."
The entire speech commanded the
marked attention of the House, ami was
pronounced a most masterly and eloquent
exposition of revenue reform. II.
