taerit in that line. It refers "to Mr.
Mills's scheme of robbery. n Think
of it. The Demooratio bill proposes
to reduce the burdens , of taxation,
and to stop in some measure the
great excessive drain upon the peo
ple, by which $155,000,000 are piled
up annually in the Treasury over and
above all legitimate demands, and
this is called "robbery." The Dem
ocratic bill proposes to stop "robbing"
the people for the sole benefit of the
Monopolists or Money Kings, and
this is "robbery" in the eyes of- a
regulation organ of Monopoly.
jTtre Supreme Court of the United
Spates, composed entirely of Re
publicans with the one exception of
Judge FieldB, declared that a Tariff
levied for any purpose other than
revenue was "robbery," and was,
therefore, unconstitutional.
But in the eyes of a Tariff tooter
it is "a scheme of robbery" to cat
down taxes, stop the surplus, and to
approach the requirements of a con
stitutional Tariff.
The people ought by this time to
know which party is on the side of
honest and fair and equitable gov
ernment. Tbey ought to know that
the Republican party is the friend
of the Money-Devil and not of the
oppressed and burdened.
The attempt to befool and befog
the laboring people with the specious
cry that a High Tariff is - meant for
them ought to deceive no man not a
born idiot. There are some facts
too plain to be misunderstood. The
Stab has repeated them again and
again. What are they r We an
swer:
First, that Free Trade Ens-
land pays much higher wages than
any Protection European country.
J Seoond, that the lowest wages paid
in Europe are in those countries hav
ing the Highest Protection.
j Third, that the most flourishing
period In American history was du
ring the Low Tariff period. This
we have shown again and again
from official figures that are not to
be disputed. . j
I It is doubtful if you consider the
purchasing power of a dollar, if
wages are really higher in the Uni
ted States trfan in England." The real
cause of any advantage this country
may have, is not in the Protection
system, but in the fact that it is
vast country, with unlimited lands
open to all settlers. j
j The-Philadelphia Record has
timely article warning the working-
men against the deceptive lies of
Protection. We copy a few sen
tences. It says: jj
! "Nor can they explain, in accordance
with Ibeir theories, the phenomenon of
wages In the flouring colonies of Australia.
where the earnings of labor are much high
er man in most portions oi inn country,
ana wnere me protective duties are ex
tremely low. Nevertheless, our tariff mon
gers insist that by some occult process this
indirect method of taxation keeps up the
wages of labor in the United States, though
me tneory utterly Talis to work anywhere
else on the face of the globe. ,; ' i j
I ' 'So far from maintaining the waees of
labor, there is no lack of proof that the tariff
has just the opposite effect of depressing
wages and lessening the means of employ
ment. The outer wall which the tariff has
drawn around the country by taxing crude
materials nas snut me products or its manu
facturing industry and skill but of the mar'
kets of the worl J. Within the inner tariff
wall which the Trusts' have reared Ameri
can workingmen are put at the mercy of
Monopoly for their supplies of the necessa
ries of living. By the former process of
taxing raw materials of labor the cost of
production is enhanced to such a degree
mat me ioreign market for the surplus u
cut off, while the home consumotion is dis
couraged. Production aoon outatrinta de
mand, and as inevitable results the wages
of labor are depressed and the opportuni
ties of employment diminished.! Manufac
turers may form Trusts' to check supply
or may close their mills and factories for
awhile, but the discharged workingmen,
whose capital is their daily labor, must suf
fer the loss of their earnings, it not, indeed,
starve." . i ,

! WHAT FAB.tI.tcRS NEED AND DERI
OCa ATS PROPOSE.
If the Democrats could have their
way, the present War Tariff, so mon
strous, and unfair, and' unequal in
its provisions, would be so razeed
and readjusted that henceforth the
farmers would find all protection tha
they need. Tbey specially require
protection against Monopoly and
Trusts and Plutocraoy.. The Money
Devil is striking all around and
about, in Congress and oat of Con
gress. He is the arch enemy of the
people, and the great persuader for
Monoply. Heuborrupts members of
the Congress, 'subsidizes the press,
humbugs the toilers, makes the rich
richer, and the poor poorer. The
Money Devil will do to watch.
What the farmers need and should
demand are cheaper olothing, cheaper
blankets, cheaper agricultural imple
ments, cheaper crockery, cheaper
cotton-ties, eheaper window-glass,
cheaper kitchen utensils, oheaper fur
future, carpets, sewing . maohines,
ciooks, spoons, knives and forks.

Bespeot, Resolutions or Tnanu, o., are of""
for as ordinary advertisements, but only halt
salt, drugs, dyestnffs, and scores of
other articles that under the present
War Tariff are most heavily taxed,'
The Democrats would, bring down
the tax on all these articles, and ban
dreds of others, if the Republicans
did not stand right in the way to
prevent it. Mark that, for It is true
as words of Holy Writ. :.'";'
All workingmen are just as much
interested in this question of tax
lifting, of tariff reduction, as are! the
farmers. They must buy, and there
fore, if they can save twenty or twen
ty-five cents in the dollar by Tariff
redaction they are making just that
much. They need the aid of the
Democratic party the only party
that is really, on the side of the peo
ple.: All Republican legislation is on
the side of the rich and prosperous -
on the Bide of Monopoly and the
Money Kings. The country needs
cheaper raw materials in order that
American manufacturers shall be able
to compete with foreign manufac
turers and find abroad markets for
their surplus products. The Balti

"Choicer raw materials will stimulate all
branches of production for which we have
natural advantages, so that labor will be in
greater demand than now", and wages as
high or higner. in a wora, me new tana
means greater plenty for all those who have
trouble to make ends meet." - '
There is protection of a few articles
in the present Tariff for the farmer,
but it does not amount to much as
the articles are- just those that the
United States can defy the world in
raising; -wheat, flour, oats and corn.
But the Democrats do not propose
to touch- the duty of 20 cents a
bushel on wheat, 20 per cent, j ad
valorem on flour, and 10 cents a
bushel on corn and oats.
1873-1888.
Will the Burrows ! crowd in
the
House tell the people why a great
High Tariff is so very necessary in
1888, when the Republican party
thought it high time to cut it down
in 1872 - sixteen years ago ? As we
have got farther and farther off from
the war period how is it that a higher
and higher Tariff is needed, accord
ing to the wisdom of the Kolleys and
Burrowses of the House ? The New
York Times ablest Republican pa
per in America says this:
"The Springfield Republican calls atten
tion to the tariff reduction bill of 1872,
passed by a Republican. I Congress, when
Gen Grant was President atd Mr. Blaine
was Bpeakcr of the Bouse. It points out
that the need and the demand for such a
bill were much less than they are now for
much of the redu-tion then made was after
ward restored and says that the present
refusal to consider the question fairly is
such a Striking illustration of 6tupid, par
tis in blindness to the signs of the times'
that it would be hard to find one more stri
king in the whole recent history of the
Democratic party.".
If there was anything of honesty
or wisdom in tha Republican party
in 1872, there is nothing of those
ingredients to bo found in the men
now representing it in the Federal
Congress.- It was not a lovely par
ty in 1872. Now it is a whited se
pulchre filled with ! rottenness and
dead men's bones. The great men.
of the 'party the men who gave it
life, character, force are all gone:
Liocolp, Sumner, Morton, Conkling,
Davis and a score or two others.
Now. it! is made up of political shys
ter?, tricksters and 'plunderers men.
of the Blaine, Sherman, Foraker sort.
The
Demscrats intend- to scatter
the needed economio literature, j The
peopie should read and inform them
selves as to the great burdens and in
equalities of an unjust, unconstitu
tional War Tariff. The Washington
special, to the World says:
' The demand for Mr. Mills's speech on
opening the tariff debate and for his report
on the i Ways and Means bill Is something
unprecedented. Nothing like it has ever
bsen known before. Already orders have
been received for 153.000 copies of the
speech I and 300.000 copies of the report.
Representative Scott, of Pennsylvania will
distribute 85 000 of the speeches, and Rep
resentative manoney, or JNew xork, 80 00,
while a dozen members have ordered 5,000

mousanu to memoers oi congress.
The Committee would do well to
print 1 200,000 copies of Senator
Vance's able articles contributed to
the Baltimore Sun. They are thought
ful and forceful.
Democratic Senators received an
unfavorable impression from the fact
that Minister Phelps, who is a candi
date for Chief Justice, paid a visit to
the Senate, the body that is to confirm
or reject. AWashington special to the
Charleston News and Courier says:
"The Democratic Senators, as a rale.
greeted him only in the most formal man
ner, ana, Judging from the temarks made
by several of them, he failed to create a fa
vorable impression. : Tbey did not hesitate
to say that his visit to the Senate was for
the purpose of making friends on the Dem
ocratic side In case he should receive the
coveted nomination."
Queen Victoria and Emperor
Joseph, of Austria, met at Innsbrusk,
and this causes the N. Y. World to
say j that "it. is memorable for the
fact that no British sovereign has

Pearson's meeting in Wilmington,
read a chapter in the Bible, related
how wild and, wicked he had been,
and how Mr. Pearson's sermon on the
'Prodigal Son" so fitted his case that
it was the means of his conversion.
This was followed by three consecu
tive ! prayers, and it was an unusual
and impressive Bight to see men bowed
at their seats and kneeling in the aisle
of a railway train, while voices rose
above the clatter of wheels, invoking
God's blessing ; Another song was
followed by a few remarks from an
other one of the gentlemen, and spe
cial requests for prayer were remem
bered in three p ayers which were
then offered. 'Altogether, an hour and

Mr. George A. Ramsay, one of Pen
der's most enterprising citizens, has
perfected arrangements to build a
railroad from Burgaw, on the Wil
mington & Weldon road, to Jackson
ville, in Onslow county. The road is
an assured fact and will be built this
summer, we are told. Although only
twenty-eight miles in length its com
pletion will fend to the development
of a large section of the most fertile
and valuable farming lands in the
State,' which for want of means of
transportation and lack of communi
cation with business centres are now
lying idle and unproductive.
In.connection with this railroad en
terprise a Land and Improvement
Company has been formed, for the ;
purpose of opening op the country to
settlement and affording inducements
for a desirable class of immigrants.
Truck farming is one of the Industries
that the road is expected to' promote,
and which it is believed the country
is admirably adapted to, early fruits
and vegetables maturing here almost
as soon as tbe crops of the truckers in
the neighborhood of Savannah, Ga.,
with the advantage of being in easy
reach of the Northern markets.

twenty members Its purpose was to re
ceive the report of the Democratic members
of the ways ana Means committee on tne
result of their efforts to arrive at an agree
ment with their Republican colleagues as to
the time to be allotted for general debate on
the Tariff bill." The Republican ultimatum
fifty hours of the daily sessions of tbe
House for their side was . not received
with favor when laid before thecaucua by
Mr Mills, hut a' prolonged discussion,
which was participated in by many
members, including Messrs. Scott, Holman
and Hooper, failed to result in any plan that
might fairly be expected to reduce the time
demanded of the Republicans. An amend
ment to one of the resolutions offered by
Mr. Townsbend. providing for an allow
ance of five days debate on each side of the
House, received such scanty support mat it
was dropped. The general seniiment of
the caucus finally cry stalized in the opinion
that It would be inexpedient to attempt
to limit debate on the tariff at tnis
time: that it would be best to resume
immediately consideration of the bill, and
work industriously at it. noning mat as
debate progressed the House would become
wearied and be in tne numor to curtail it.

The Auditor of the State assessed taxes for

In the aggregate to $22,2411, against tbe roll
ing stock, etc, of the Baltimore & Ohio
Riilroad. That Company is a Maryland
corporation, but controls certain Virginia
roads by virtue of leases, under which the
leased roads give it their track terminal fa

furnishes robing stock, which, however, is
not assigned especially to the leased roads,
but' is. used int&rchangably over the whoie
system. The Rtilroad Company resisted
the payment of the tax on tae ground that
it applied only to domestic roads, and an
order restraining tbe Auditor from seizing
its property was issued by the Supreme
Court. The case comes here on appeal
from that Court This Court holds that

the power by appropriate legislation to tax
the rolling stock of a company not organ
ized under tbe State laws, careful purview
of the act in question shows that it was in
tended to apply only to domestic roads, and
not to outside roads doing business within
the Bute. Judgment affirmed. -
A decision was also rendered in tbe case
of the Missouri Pacific Railway Company,
piainun in error, vs r atrlck Mackey, In
eiror, to the Supreme Court of the Btate of
Kansaa The defendant i in thia case was
employed by tbe Railroad Company, and
was injured by the negligeocs of one of tbe
Company's engineers He brought suit
and recovered damage?. ( In tbe trial tbe
judge charged the jury to tbe effect that
while at common law the master could not
be held liable for an injury sustained by
one servant through the i negligence of a
fellow servant, yet, that thia rule had been
abrogated, so far as railroada were con
cerned, by a statute of the State of Kansap,
enacted in 1874. declaring that railroads
should be liable for damages done to any
employe by carelessness of a fellow employe.
The Rtilroad Company excepted to this
cbarge, but tbe United States Supreme
Court upholds it, and also the validity of
the Kansaa law at issue, which it declares
simply extends the doctrine that railroada
ball be liable for injury to paasengers and
freight to tbe case of employes of roads.
The objection that tbe law deprives rail
roads of equal protection of tbe laws seems
to rest upon tbe theory I that legislation,
wjiich ia special in its character, ia neces
sary within the constitutional inhibition;
but nothing can be further from tbe fact.
Tbe greater part of legislation is special,
and re not obnoxious to the fourteenth
amendment on that ground. The business
of operating railroada a specially danger
ous one, and would seem to call for special
legislation. The business of other corpo
rations is not subject to similar dangers to
their employes, and no ojection, therefore,
can be made on the ground of discrimina
tion It meets a particular necessity,! and
all railroad corporations are, without dis
tinction, made subject to the same liabili
ties. ' . ' ! ' ' - !

Washihgtoh, Apnl 23. The Committee
on Ways and Means held a long meeUng,
this morning, but failed to finally agree
upon the length of time to be allowed for
general ' debate upon the Tariff i bill.
The Republican members of the Committee
asked that ten days of five hours each, or
fifty hours in all, be set j for the purpose
Tbe DemocratiCjmembers held that a short
er time would suffice, if evening sessions
were held for debate - only. The evening
sessions were not acceptable to the Repub
licans, who argued that:because of the slim
attendance which characterized them, as
contrasted with the day ( sessions, members
compelled to speak at night would be plac
ed at a disadvantage. . Tbe differences on
the subject between the majority and mi
nority of the committee do not seem to be
serious, however, and it is expected that an
agreement will be reached to-morrow,
when another meeUng will be held. ;

Southern Immigration Convention
met at noon - at the Mountain ' Park
Hotel, and was called to order by Maj.
J. D. Keiley, of New York. Gov. Fitz
hugh Lee of Virginia was elected per-mane-1
chairman, and Luther R. Ran
san of South. Carolina permanent sec
retary. I"
On the platform, with GovJ Lee,
were his Eminence. Cardinal Gibbons
of Baltimore; Archbishop Elder, of
Cincinnati; Gov. John B. Gordon, of
Georgia; Gov. J. P. Richardson, of
South Carolina; Maj. J. D. Keiley, of
New -ork, and others.
Governor Lee, in his brief address,
accepted the honor conferred Upon
him, and spoke of thi absence of Gov
ernor Scales, who was unable to be
present on account of a previous en
gagement He stated that CoL Win.
Johnston, of Charlotte, would repre
sent North Carolina in the Conven
tion, f I
CoL Johnston made a few remarks,
cordially inviting and welcoming the
members -of the Convention to the
State. He regretted that Governor
Scales could not be present, but fa
warm, true North Carolina welcome
was tendered to alL i f
Bishop Becker, of Savannah, GaL,
then read resolutions drafted by the
Commissioners of Agriculture in
eleven States, extending invitations
to immigrants. He also tendered an
invitation of the citizens of Asheville
to members of the Convention to visit
that town. Robert M. Furman, of
Asheville, urged acceptance of the
invitation and it was accepted. j
The city of Knoxville, Tend.,
through Hon. J. C. LutterelL ex
tended an invitation, and it also was
accepted.
Mr. King, of Tennessee, moved that
a recess of ten. minutes be taken to
ascertain the names of delegates from
tbe different States. The motion was
carried and the Convention took a
recess. I
Upon reassembling large delega
tions from North Carolina, Virginia,
Georgia, Tennessee, Florida, and
South Carolina were reported pres

His Eminence Cardinal Gibbons
was presented to the Convention. He
said: "I am grateful to the gentle
men composing this Convention for
the honor conferred upon me and the
courtesy extended, I came here to en
courage, so far as I can, the object Of
this meeting. I have travelled nearly
over both hemispheres recently, with
both eyes open. As a result of my
observation, I can say that the United
States gives to immigrants such ad
vantages as cannot be obtained in tbe
old countries. I have found every
where great prosperity in the Union.
I have found this is due to the in
domitable, energy of tbe American
people. I wish every success to this,
movement. The climate of the South
will allow every laboring man to work
300 out of 865 days in the year." ; j .
He then spoke of the great resources
of tbe South and its hidden wealth.
He referred to the hospitality and
genial warmth of the Southern peo
ple. He had lived in the South, and
the people were like the climate
warm and genial. He was interested
in securing immigration to the South
ern States, and those who did come
would look upon this as a red-letter
day in tbe history of the couth. The
Cardinal's speech was received with
great enthusiasm.
Bishop Kain, of Wheeling, was the
next speaker. He looked upon this
as an occasion of great importance.
He had been born and reared beneath
the genial i skies of the Southern
States. His heart was wrapped up in
the South. He was deeply interested
in the movement. He would suggest
the establishment of colonies all over
the South. f.f
Bisbop Northrop, of Charleston,
was interested in tbe movement and
wished to get to business. He had no
speech to make. r i
Gov. John B. Gordon, of Georgia,
then made a very eloquent and in
teresting address, favoring the move
ment and i tendering his aid. ' He
said, 'There is more wealth in mine
rals within. 150 miles of this spot than
any where on earth." He wished the
movement God speed. - j
Gov. Richardson, of South Caro
lina, then spoke of the good feeling
that existed in the State, and of the
grand welcome South Carolina would
give to immigrants, and said that his
State would challenge any in pro
gress. - ; : - f
Mayor Keiley, the inaugnrator of
this movement, was appointed chair
man of the different committees on

- A Literary carlo.
:, - Augusts Chronicle, v
Amelie Rives, who bears her name
as a family bequest from : the queen
of Louis : Phillipe, is an interesting
figure anyhow. Her' grandfather
was United States Senator and Min
ister to ! France. : Her first
story "A Brother to Dragons" ret
ceived . from : Dry;,-' Oliver , Wendell
Holmes the highest compliment, the
Autocrat" stamping it with
"breadth, boldness and originality."
She at onoe : took a place among the
real, vivid writers of the day --brushing
aside tbe attenuated dialogue and
reveries of Ho wells, James,JFawcett,
Warner and the train of. feeble ana
lysts of modern fiction. She deserves
thanks from the South for lifting her
6tories above the over-worked and
muoh abused dialects of the: day.
There is genuine dialeot in her books;
it is not forced or fulsome, and her
plots have: something stronger to
oommend : them. The dialect is
brought in to heighten the plot in
stead of a plot feebly spun to sup
port the rubbish of negro and ooua
try provincialisms. j
Her "Virginia of Virginia" was a
strong, artistic story with real evR
deuces of power, but one of the most
unsatisfactory tales given to recent
magazines.!'. j
But it would have been far better
for- the real fame of Miss Amelie
Rives, had I she .never given her last
novelette, TheQaick or the Dead"
to the printer. A minute's re
flection has convinced us that no one
but a young girl could write such a
book. It is but just to her to say
that she has entered a realm of
'courtship . and gushing affection, in
which she is entirely a stranger. It
is her best defence to urge, in tHr
behalf, that she doesn't know what
she is writing about, and that after
something of this feverish sentimen
tality escapes, she will come down
to better and finer work.
Miss Rives has wisely called j thia
book a "study." So it is. But Miss
Rives is an artist and knows that
every study should not be framed or
uncovered.: An artist like a physi
cian, has to do a good many things
at the easel and dissecting table,
that are necessary for exeroise or
knowledge; and yet are better unex
posed to the publio. Miss Rives
seems to have gone through an un
usual course of mental and senti
mental gymnastics in painting the
daring courtship of the lovers in her
last book. It has doubtless done the
authoress good, but it has done the
reading publio no good. We can
put up with it, however, if it shall
serve to show her what to omit next
time. We confidently look for her
next production with pleasure, j

Wilmington Daily Review.
The methods by which the Ral
eigh politicians arrive at tbe conclu
sion that their candidate, Judge
Fowle, is in the lead for the nomina
tion for Governor, whilst entirely
innocent, and to them most pleasant
temporarily, can only end in dis
aster. The News and Observer has
recently published a list of what it
calls preferences, as expressed by
counties, and this political learning,
also called I "Some Straws," ia pub
lished for the information of 1 pro
vincial Democrats. It seems that
the News and Observer sent an in
quiry to the Chairmen of tbe Board
of Commissioners of the different
counties, asking them what they be
lieved to be the preference of the
people in their respective counties
for Governor and Lieutenant Gov
ernor; and received answers 'from
about fifty counties, as stated by
that paper, and from these answers
it plaoes the vote of Fowle at 157,
and Stedman at 117. Beit remember
,ed that there will be 933 votes, or
thereabouts, in the next State j Con
vention, and the estimate furnished
by the News Observer ,even if entire
ly correot, as far as it - went, would
be a very poor index from which to
arrive at a probable conclusion as to
who would-be nominated, Stedman
or Fowle, i if the race should be en
tirely between them, which at the
present time is far from being a fact.
But just ' to show how dismal a fail
ure these "straws" will prove, let
the News Observer add to its list the
following counties,which are entirely
omitted as not beard from: viz1:
Third District Wayne, Duplin,
Sampson . and Cumberland; Sixth
District Brunswick, Anson and
Union, and then calculate, if by any
prooess known even to the far reach
ing calculations of those who manage
politics in our modest capita!, it can
figure t Fo wle anywhere ahead ' of
Stedman in the race. . If these eight
counties do not suffice we can furnish
a great many more, which vre think
will at least satisfy our friends that
they are I making a sad mistake
in attempting to reach a proper re
suit from! the article headed f'Some
Straws" from the News Observer.
It may be, j however, that Judge
Fowle's friends can get no proper
information from these oounties on
account of their remoteness from
Raleigh, for Brunswioh oounty was
left from the list, although its ooun
ty Convention had instructed its
delegates unanimously for Stedman
some days before the publication bf
the article called "Some Straws;"
and a correspondent of the: News
Observer, ut another issue of that
paper, stated that a majority
of the people of Cumberland oounty
were for Fowle, where, as ' we are
reliably informed,' upon the very
beet authority, that a - political
search warrant could not find ten
men who are ; for Fowle in the en
tire county, j Now, for the infor
mation of i our good friends, we will
give them an estimate found
ed upon so-called j preferences, fur
nished not by one but by ' two of
the most active and well informed
Democrats in each oounty and cov
ering the ; entire State., Their an
swers as furnished place' the vote as
between Stedman and Fowle at 543
for Stedman and 390 for Fowle, giv
ing Stedman a clear 7 majority in the
whole Convention of 153 votes over
Fowle. - :

der and Fowle as furnished would
not be preouliarly , gratifying to the
