THE PIiANS OF THE PROTECTION ' ( " ISTS. If any Soufhern man who thinks the present war tariff is an anomaly and should be reduced and readjusted as speedily as possible, is also re solved to fight for the total abolition of the internal or infernal revenue system, let him pause. He should at least b sure of I accomplishing .the former before he insists upon the lat ter. The indications clearly point to this ; a majority of theiNorthern pro tectionist leaders rwill strongly favor the repeal of the internal revenire laws. : They will do this solely to prevent a substantial reduction of the tariff; This Is well understood now. "Pig Iron" Kelley, of Pennsylvania, the leader of the protectionists of that manufacturing State, is as busy as possible in efforts to create a strong public sentiment in his own State and elsewhere in favor of the aboli tion of the internal system. The lead ing protectionist papers are favoring this scheme. They are doing this not because the system is wrong or oppressive but from purely selfish con siderations. To show this it need be remembered only that they are for re taining the tariff-the indirect sys tem of taxation that is far more op ' pressive than thei internal revenue 'tax. ' " 4, .The Washington correspondent of the New York Times of the date of the 16th writes concerning thei plans of the protectionists as follows:! 'The supporters of the doctrine of pro tection 'and the representatives of i pro tected industries will strive with all their might at the coming session of Con gress to reduce the revenue arising from in ternal taxes. They will be assisted by the popular feeling in regard to a reduction of taxation and by the hostility toward inter nal taxes in some parts of the country. If they can cut off at one blow a great part of the internal revenue, they may thereby prevent-a reduction of duties which would decrease the profits of i the , protected mo nopolies. . There must be revenue from anmp cmircp with wh5rh tn Tiir t.Thp p-rnPTicoa of the Government. If la heavy reduction is made in the field t of internal reve nue, then it will not be possible to Timtfi a hfiavv reduction of Customs i duties. The greater the reduction of revc i nue from internal taxes, the smaller the re I duction of duties on imports in the revision j of the tariff which wiltj be made. Judge i Kelley, Chairman of the "Ways and Means I Committee, has been in this city for two or j three days, and it has been announced that i he is here for the purpose of inducing jthe i President and the Secretary of the Treas 1 ury to recommend to Congress a large re I duction of internal taxation." ! t Now we commend that statement i to the attention of all North Caro i lina Democrats in and out of office, i who are insisting upon the total wip i ing out of the internal revenue sys iteni. For a year this paper has I taken the very view presented in the extract from the Times. For a year i we have urged that it would be sui- cidal to repeal the internal revc- - nue laws bepre .razeeing the pres ent iniquitous and absurd war tariff. The Star has again and again said that the Democrats cannot afford to go before the country with, a plat form of principles that proposes to give the people free whiskey' and free tobacco two luxuries and then tax heavily their shoes and hats and medicines and trace chains and hard ware generally and sngar and dozens of other necessaries. We repeat again our position, and we expect to stand by it: We faor first a severe reduction of the tariff and then a cutting down sharply of internal revenues. When the ordi nary : expenses of the Government have been reduced within decent and proper bounds say one hundred mil- - lions or more--then let the reduction or the internal revenues go on until the-lowest possible limit commensu rate with the actual economical needs of the Government is attained. But at the same time the reduction of the war tariff must not stop , short of a constitutional basis a tariff for re venue with incidental protection to the industries. : It will be impossible to do any thing of much -import ance with tariff . reduction during the short session of the Congress.. In fact the Tariff . Commission will hardly report, and if so, the discussion could hardly be finished during the little more than 60 working days of the short session But - we learn, the protectionists, nop:ng to be aided dv Southern mem- bers, will urge a great reduction, if Tint tltrr ' r .1 , .... .,.-- nunc auuuuuu 01 me in ternal revenues. J The correspondent of the Times say 6: - - "The calendars are heavy with all - sorts of bills, in all stages of progress. Every Congressman who has a pet bill will urge its passage. It is not expected that there will be time for a revision of : the tariff,- -although the report of the tariff i Commission, and the testimony taken by the eommisson will be placed in the hands of members.: But something may be done with the pend ing bill for a reduction of internal taxes, and the friends of the great protected in dustries will make that bill, or some bill re lating to the same subject, the centre of legislative interest outside of appropriation bills." . ' . ' . Let Southern men be on .their guard. ; .Let North Carolina .members be very Careful-to do nothing rash. Grant that the internal Tevemie -sys-i tern is a monstrosity; an offense, a st en ch, an . oppression,, an . outrage, what then? ' Will you wipe out the 145 millions raised by this , badly abused system when you know that it will fasten upon the country for a decade the oppressive war tariff that absolutely taxes fifty million of peo ple for the benefit of one, million? Do you call that statesmanship?; Do you consider that wise legislation? Give the country r free cigars, free plugs of tobacco, free smoking 'to bacco, free whiskey and, tax fifty mil lion people upon all necessaries. that enter into household expenses. ' -Such legislation as that would be absurd, unwise, unprofitable, and would be sure to prove a boomerang in the end. The Times says edito rially : "The chances of tax reduction at the coming session of Congress are being al ready discussed in Washington. The pro tectionist policy is easy to predict. It will, as heretofore, be directed toward a sweep ing reduction of internal revenue taxes by way of warding off any reduction of duties on imports. The Republicans will hardly improve their position by lending them selves to this programme. Chaotic as pub lic opinion may be on the subjecof the tar iff, the majority of the American people are certainly not in favor of -making whisky and tobacco cheap that all the necessaries of life may continue dear," Mr. James A. Cowardin, founder and seniori editor of the Dispatch, died in Richmond, yesterday, in his 72d year. Wo had known Mr. Co wardin from our earliest boyhood and always had a high admiration for. his conscientious devotion to his chosen profession. I Honest and sincere in his convictions, he always battled for the right, but never permitted partisan prejudice to warp his judgment or cm bitter his heart. Nearly all the old Richmond journalists have now passed away. "John Hampden Plea sants and his brother, Hugh R., the Ritchies, John M. Daniel, Alex. Mose- ley, Robert Ridgway, Edward Wm. Johnston, William I Muscoe Semple, John Hampden Chamberlayne, and James A. Cowardin all dead. What a brilliant galaxy they formed. A GREAT CAROLINA ENTEBPRISK Mr. Camerqn, of the Asheville Citizen, has been travelling in the counties west of Asheville, and has been writing some entertainidg and instructive letters for his paper.. He does this kind of work specially well. One of his letters, headed "A' Bird's- eye View of the Work on the West ern North Carolina Railroad," gives the only clear account of what has been done and what is beinjr done that we have ever seen. The Duek town branch is being pushed rapidly. As far as Waynesville, in Macon county, all was easy enough of ac complishment, save, that the -work was excessive and the'grading heavy. But when - that village had : been reached "the heart yof the Balsam range was penetrated." Then began the most difficult engineering feat.. Mr. Cameron says: ' "The stupendous range stretched across the pathway and defied the advance of the iron horse; among the highest peaks in tue wnoie united states stood sentinel along the passway by which'man or horse might find his labored route. On one side stood Plott's Balsam, 6.097. and Jones' Bal sam, 6,223 feet high ; on the Other West ner's Bald, 6,000 feet, ; and the ' ridge that formed the " connecting link of their bases was 3,357 feet above the level of the sea. When this fcigh )crcst was reached the. descent tumbled down on the western side in sudden .and apparently impassable descent, ; descending,: too, into an apDarcnt range through which no way of exit known to scientific work seemed possible to find." But the stupendous work has been accomplished and a great piece of en gineering it must be. From Waynes ville the first seven miles of ascent of the grading is 65,0 feet. ; .. The road clings to the sides of the mountain and when the summit is attained it passes across to the descent through "a cut not more than eight feet deep." 'Mr.' C. says:.. 'The ascent in the seven miles from Waynesville to the top is about 650 feet, though the grade at all points is uniform. Immediately on passing the top, the gorge of Scott's creek is struck; and this is fol lowed down the mountain sides, until the forgo becomes a valley, and so on, until the 'uckasecge river and the mouth of the Tuckaseege river is reached. And to that point the work, with more or less" complete ness, has been conducted. "Prom the top of the Balsam to the , lucKaseege river is fourteen miles. The elevation at the gap is 3.557 feet. The p.le vation at the mouth of Scott's creek, which is near the eastern approach of the Cowee tunnel, is 1,977 feet. So in fourteen miles there is a descent of 1,380 feet, seven-eighths of which is made in the' first eight miles- mo muss oi it in iact in tne nrst lour miles, where the descent is four fept to tho Hun dred a little over two hundred feet to the auie. '"The work on the east "side of the gap bas been done by free labor and is complete But a great deal of the work? has been done elsewhere, by convict labor. The work is' extreme-. ly heavy. The valley work is easy enough', but" there is a tunnel of 200 feet wide and 130 deep, which is far advanced. There is 4 a heavy cut through rock for 200 yards.. Cow es.. turnout is another laborious job. It is through solid rock. ' 'The work is progressing favorably. Mr. Cameron drives a full account of the management of the convict labor, including sleeping, foody sanitation, &c.i and the report is favorable every wayr .They are never worked in bad or rainy weather. They are warmly. clad. This trreat Western Carolina will be completed mainly through convict, labor. This experiment shows, how crime can be made subsi: diary to authority, and be conducive to the public welfare. " . ,' . OUR IiAILH OJLDS.
