To the Editor : •
-- • Please allow me space in your
valuable columns to say that
the in January
. .19.02 w,as a big day in Lilling
ton, a grand day for Harnett.
A large crowd of the good cit
izens of the county, gathered to
aee and to hear, some to see the
£ $ Steel Bridge that ties bank to
bank of the deep C. F. River,
and after seeing them to feel
* * proud, as we realize that
through the actions of the Hon.
Board of Commissioners to re
ceive it, it is all our own
bridge. It is grand, a mag
nificent structure. It is the
pride of Harnett, especially
■when you cross on it.
Mr. Editor, it was not only a
Bridge day in Harnett but it
' V . wis a "no liquor license" day
too. Great crowds anxiously
awaited the action of the Board
♦' of Commissioners on the pe
tition that came from the town
of Angier asking the commis
sioners to grant them further
license to sell spirituous liquors,
and there, was sent in also pe
• titions from almost all the good
ladies and a good number of the
men of the little town of Angier
asking not to grant license ; also
. . petitions .came in from Black
River, Grove, Averasboro,
Neill'f- Creek ;• and other por
tions; of the county, asking not
to.|jrant license for any por
tion of the county.
Both sides were discussed by
able counsel, those for license of
course - lrad no plea for Whiskey
generally the case
* ' tlfey had only to resort to the
\ money staiid point'the revenue,
the finance derived from the
a&e&JLwhiskey to found argu
ment, and when all the dollars
-f " In fTi"e liqUor trafic were put in
tne end of the'scale by one side
, and, the other side put in the
. ojher end of. the scale, the cul
tur§, the refinement, the morals,
the good of humanity, the whole
man, the Dollars' was a* com
plete failure and was no' cotn
> parison the Dollars" was en
tirely insignificeut by the side
of mau. Of course the dollar
is.admired by all, but integrity,
true morals, and ardent piety
has nothing to compare with
them, dollars will not buy them,
so it was decided that'no license
be granted, and Harnett county
through this act walked out of
the liquor business. Thus old
Harnett made a long stride in
. the cause of morality, in the
'••■ cause of humanity. By that act
our morals shall not be choked
out by immorality, but our right
to morality shall be guarded,
not legislated into us but guard
ed to us and for us by the law.
And so victory to some extent
perched upon the Temperance
Banner in our county. Re
joicing ftnd joy goes throughout
aIL se&tiOus that the liquor trrafic
is sent backward to some ex
tent from our midist. And now
Mr". Editor, in.behalf of all the
- friends Of the temperance cause,
we wish to say that we heartily
entertain the kindest regards for
any that may not see as we see
or for any that may feel agriev
ed. We are sorry indeed that
any effort aimed solely" at the
liquor and its trafic should do
any hurt to any one in any way.
We want not WCTOHY over MEN
—but measures onty~
Our object is not public senti
ment specially but- our senti
ment is one word—is not right.
Is it good for country; and hu
manity. Hence needs no
further experimenting' with the
liquor trafic, with the groggery
business, pur ablest men can
* not defend her cause and we do
trust that our opponents will
yet come to see the whole truth
of the awfulness,;.and the hor
rors that attend the"trafic. That
the commissioners acted right
is without question from any
"point of view,' they acted with
much discretion and honor to
themselves and with great good
to the country and to all. May
many blessings attend them all
their days. Let us again re
turn thanks and may the day
Boon come when the clean sweep
pe made of this doubled
distilled hot water that it may
be swept out of our whole coun
ty, State aud Nation, and when
this is done heaven will smile,
and the angels of temperance
will dazzle about all glorious
with their downy wings always
to duty over our sunny-land.
A. W.GREGORY.
TARIFF.
I
At this juncture, when the
national representatives are in
session assembled, it is germane
to notice some of the questions
which, more or less, always oc
cupy a prominent place in the
discussions there. Of these
questions none is of more inters
est to the South than the Tariff,
since it has always been,
though not so much now as in
the past, a community of con
sumers. . -■* ..
Of all products upon which a
tariff is placed, that upon steel
and steel rails especially, prob
ably illustrates best the fallacy
aud inconsistency of the idea.
Steel rails can be manufac
tured today at a fair profit and
sold at $17.50 a ton. At that
price the rail mills would make
a larger profit on their product
than the flouring mills would
make by a profit of 10 cents a
barrel on flour—which the flour
ing • mills would be glad to
make, but do not. From the
best information we have been
able to gather, steel rails can be
manufactured at about $16.00
per ton. Sold as they were two
and a half years ago at $17.60.
there was a profit of $1.50 per
ton, which is more than the
profit on flour at 10 cents a bar
rel, and that is a larger profit
than is averaged by the flouring
mills of this country. Yet such
rails are now being sold at S2B
per ton, making it easy to un
derstand, with such enormous
profits, how the steel mills are
enabled to pay dividends on
shares three-fourths of which
are composed of water, and pay
such enormous salaries as they
do to their officials. We cannot
tell just what sum would be re
quired to rebuild these proper
ties, but from what we can learn
we are satisfied that they can
be reproduced at less than one
half the amount at which they
are capitalized. The conse
quence is that the people and
the consumers of the country
are being taxed to this enor
mous extent in order that the
trusts and consolidations may
pay such dividends, and yet,
with this condition of things,
we now have a dUty of $7.80 per
ton on steel rails, and what we
have here said of steel rails can
also be said of structural steel,
which now enters into construc
tion of different kinds to such
an enormous extent. If this is
not robbery, we would like to
find some stronger word to
characterize it. Robbery is a
strong word, but we use it ad
visedly and are of the opinion
that even a stronger word is
needed. What shall be said of;
an administration that permits j
this robbery to go on without
making an effort to protect the
public. It has been said that
the republican party is stand-'
