THE STANDARD. .... g , PUBHSHtD BVEBV FRIDAY BY V. D. ANTHOXY & J. M. CROSS TEKMS : YEAR, CASH in ADVANCE, $1-25. SIX MJNFHS, - ' - .75 Friday, March 2, 1883. The National Democratic Com" mi t tee met in Washington on the and selected St. Louis, Mo., as the place for holding the National Convention, and designated June rth as the time. The State executive committee met in Raleigh on the 23d acd fixed May COth as the time for holding the State convention. AVe publish by request the ad dress of the Y. M. C. A. State Ex ecutive Committee. The labor of this association, has done much for the youth of our State. Its exertions in behalf of Christianity have met with marked success, and it has steadily increased in numbers and influence year after year, not with any great outs:de show, but steadily and quietly with the true spirit of chris tian love, kindness and charity. There is no greater proof of the spirit of progress in the Southern States than the rapid extension of old rail way lines and the constant construction of new ones. The peo ple everywhere, and we may say al most unanimously, vote to tax them selves for the building up of these great agents in developing the vast resources of their country. The trreiit contrast between the North and South in thrift aud enterprise is rapidly disappearing as the diversi fied resources of wealth in the form er slave, States are brought to light through their instrumentality. Wherever these lines have been built commercial cities and manu facturing towns have taken the place of villages and even little way-t-ide stations have their machine hhops, mills aud forges, giviug em ployment to hundreds, who other wise would tn all probability be i. lie Men with progressive ideas, have so fur brought perfect system to railway transportation that our commodities are transferred from market io mar ket and the resources of our country is made known to every one. No great tide of emigration has ac complished this, but the devotion of our own people to the upbuilding of their home land has been assiduously applied in the construction of these roads, and we can with pride now point out a home to emigrants in a country .not overrun with briers and brambles, but equal to any other in natural resources and intelligence of its people. President Cleveland's visit to 1 1 rida is a eo nplimentary n cogni t ion of our every day life and per. suits by the head of the nation. The interest thus showu, by one who is honored with the highest executive office in the gift of the people, in their progress and advancement will' ptrencthen their confidence in his faithfulness. His reply to the ad dress of welcome at Jacksonville, appended below breathes a spirit of patriotism and will greatly add in cementing north -south, east and west in an undiveded America ; "I am aure that every person must be impressed with the extent of our country and the diversity of its cli mate and products when he finds that by traveling twenty-four hours within its. limits winter and snow can be left behind and exchanged for balmy air and bloom and verdue of summer. "The American citizen in search of health or pleasure aiid comfort in any variety of climate or in almost any changed condition, has no need to leave America's soil or to lose the benefit and freedom of American in stitutions and laws. I suppose the advantage of foreign travel should be freely appreciated, but it seems to me that there is. enough in our own land to interest and'instruet, often times with the- greatest advantage, many of our citizens who insist upon seeking the novelties ard sights of foreign countries. There is, how ever a satisfaction in the fact that none of these return without an in of eased appreciation of their honie This proves that our eitizenship and oui patriotism can bo relied upon as agiinst all the blandishment of the Old World.. "I have sometimes thought if a good sharoof time thus spent in loaminghow much we loved ,our country, was devoted to acquiring' more intrinsic knowledge of its. beauties and advantages both, our citizenship and, patriotism might be , improved. The issue is. reduction of the tarifi to a revenue basis, & stoppage of the . surplus and a removal as far as. pos sible of the iueojualities and kcoa sifitencies of the present system : tariff taxation; It is the same old is sue made in' behalf of the body of the people as against the monopo. lists, the class which the Republi can party., has petted and pampared in to the most enormous wealth at the expense of the vast'majority. It is made more pointed" thant usual by the accumulation of a suip'us rev enue. 'It is the real old article of Jacksonian , . Democracy that de DMinds its. eaforceaient and'it be- i ii. . i The Republicans will endeavor to becloud it to mis-state it; by every means to misrepresent it; because they realize that it cannot fail to re sult in Democratic success if fairly presented. We have reason to be lieve it will be fully comprehended in time to insure an even more brilliant Democratic victory in the country e large than has yet been gained, as we have reason to believe that the tariff measure to be presented to the House will answer the demands of the Democratic party. Speaking on this latter subject, Congressman Scott, of the ways and means com mittee, i3 reported as saying: "We are getting up a good bill, and I think it will command the support and vote of every Democrat on the floor, if not a number of Republi cans. There are a number of members scheming to prolong discussion on the tariff until the House is disheartened and then rush through a substitute taking only the tax off sugar and tobacco. I think these members will be fooled in their object, for the reason that I believe that the bill now being pre pared by the ways and means com mittee will be so just aud equitable that all fair men will see the neces sity for its passage aud give it their cordial suppprt.' That is the way for a member ol the committee to tak. News and Observer. A BLOW AT PROTECTION. SENATOR YAXCE TALKS STROXG SEXSE BALTIMORE. IX Extract from speech at the Mer chant's and Manufacturer's Ban quet. "The idea never occurred to me of selecting a bank that I could trust, but one that would trust me.' Laughter. After many, witty al lusions to the remark o'f Mr. Thomp son aud Mr. Butterworth, Senator Vance said: "I know of no lawful way to get rich. It is a way I long have sought. I do not mean that there are any people in Baltimore who are trying to get rich by un lawful means. I mean that there are some people in tho country who always have and always will try to obtain legislation which will give them an advantage over others. Sel fishness and greed are the causes of this. The force of the old barbarism has yielded to chicauery, patriotism, love for the laborer and fraud. Laughter. All attempts to cramp human intercourse have been nefari ous. We hear beau tif ul stories of the great increase of wealth through our restrictive measure upon trade, shipbuilding, &c. All the advan tages we possess came through the tariff, but they were paid for by the consumers of manufactures". If you can show me how thiee men can sit down to play a game of seven up and at the end one ha won $10 and the other two haven't lost it. ! then I Mill give up the argument. I have heard a ston' that the three Hebrew children in the fiery fur nace, to pass away the time swapped knives and each made $1.50 and had the best knife. That illustrates growing rich by protection. Laugh ter. I beg you all to return from the erros of the dirk ages and ig norance, and coma to the times of trade absolutely free except i s far as the inteterests of the government are concerned." ADDRESS OF THE Y. M. C. A. STATE EXECUTIVE COMMIT TEE. Chapel Hill7N. C, Feb. 20, '88. The State Executive Committee, appointed by the convention of Young Men's Christian Association at its meeting in Raleigh last April, have performed the duty. laid ou them a labor of love as actively and systematically as was possible with the resources at their com mand. Correspondence and visita tion haye co-operated with the earn est faithfulness of individual chris tians in establishing new organiza tions at several iiapoitant points. Kinston, Fayetteville, Wilmington, Henderson an i Durham are wheel ing into line and becoming active members of the movements to save and bless the flower and hope of the State, its young men. We are sure that the arrangements we have made for several weeks of work in our State by a traveling secretary will attract the sympathy of all good people. Mr. T. A. Harding, of Wash ington, D. C, formerly General Sec retary of the Y. M. C. A. of that eity, has been selected for this ser vice. He will consult with pastors of churches and representative Chris tians generally with regard to the le gitimate sphere and the, best meth ods of operation for Young Men's Christian Associations. The General Convention of Young Men's Christian Association of North Carolina will be held at Charlotte, beginning April 19th. We antici pate with pleasure the hospitality of a people who are already showing their generous spirit in the erection f an admirable Y. M. C- A. home.. The programme of exercises will be announced hereafter. Associa tions old and new, are invited to send their representative men to this important gathering. We are yours in Chi istian fellowship.

GENUINE WAR RELIC. Fredericksburg Free Lance. The Jollowwg is a verbatim copy of a letter fcund oh the battlefield at McCoul's farm, near Spotsylvania C. H. The paper on which the let ter is written has grown 3-ellow from age, and where folded has been care fully sewed together. The genuineness of the letter is fully attested by veracious people, among them the finder. It is highly interesting and emanated from a young lady evidently bent on mar rying her dear Henry. My Dear Henry I embrace this here opportunity to let 3 0U knough as how I had a swell of aiger and I does hope thease f ue lines may find you enjoyiug the same Gods blessing. Why dont you only rite a sweate line to tell suffer ing Kathruh all about her sweate Henny oh Henny my sweate Henny my turtle dove my pidging my deer deer Henny how my poor sole is longing'to heer him siugin yaukee dudlee as he comes from his plosv now Oh my Henny do come home and lets get married so no more at present but remain your lovin.

' I forgot to say as how that air corn on my big toe dont hurt as it used to did. so once your wife as it is to be seffds 2 kisses aui say fare well, yours till death do lis part. KAT There is constantly to be seen on the streets a number of boys, from ten to fifteen years old, who seem to have no occupation by which to earn a living, and by congregating in front of stores, blockading the side walks and "cutting up" generally, prove au intolerable nuisance. Re gardless of race, color, or previous condition of servitude, boys should not be allowed to loaf on the streets. Charlotte Democrat. Well said. It is the same way here, but we have not yet been able to devise any way to get rid of the evil. Virginians are all tho time prais ing her prominent men and states men, with a few exceptions ; Virgin ians patronize Virgiuia schools and Colleges ; but North Carolinian s.how do many of them act ? They abuse a 11 their public men, and then pat ronize Virginia Schools and Col leges, while they have in the bon ders of their own State as good Col leges and Schools as any in the coun try. The University of North Carolina is as well equipped and has as able a Faculty as the Virginia University and then there is Wake Forest, Davidson and Trinity Colleges, af fording every necessary facility for an education. Why will not our people exercise or have some State pride, 8nd send their boys to some one of their State institutions. The morality and good conduct of the young men at Chapel Hill will bear comparison with that of any of the Denominational Colleges in this State or elsewhere. Eye witnesses know that. Parents who educate their children outside of the State are putting them to a great disad vantage in a business or a profes sional life hereafter, provided they live in North Carolina, because then- acquaintances and college associates would be limited.

THE FUTURE OF THE SOUTH (Maj or Hewitt before the South ern Society of New York City.) "In the future production of this country, it will be registered in suc cessive censuses in fact before the lapse of the century, that the South ern States of the Union will far out strip Pennsylvania and the other manufacturing States of the North. It was the North that lost by the outcome of the rebellion, not you. The victory of the North was, in re ality, its defeat, and in future the greatest friend and supporter of Constitutional Union will be the South."
