The Tariff Sysl, , 1y .QnUons na
Answer.
The following questions and an
sweres were found among the pa
pers of the late George Otis, of Ro
seile, N. J.
Q. What is the meauing of the
word tariff ?
A. It is so called because hund
reds of years ago sea pirates at
Tariffa, Spain, forced every passing
vessel to pay for the privilege of go
mg into and from the Mediterranean
Sea,
Q. What is the meaning now ?
A. A certain sum forced from the
people by land pirates.
Q. Why say taken by force ?
A. Because the Republican Con
gress says to the peopel : "Stand
and deliver ?"'
Q. Stand and deliver to whom ?
A. To certain favored manufac
turing interests.
Q. Where in the constitution is
Congress empowered to pass a law
to compel the few to support the
many, the poor to contribute to the
rich ?
A. In no part of it
Q. Is such a law Republican in
iho sense of being Democratic a
government iix which the people
rule? i
A. No. It is aristocratic,
A. What do you mean by aristoc
ratic?
A. A government wherein a few
rob the many, where the many
work to help support the privileged
few.
Q. Explain how the tariff law es
tablishes an aristocracy ia a Demo
cratic government.
A. Congress says to the poor, be
cause this or that man is rich and
produces iron or cotton or woolen
goods, you shall pay him bo much
money for so many pounds of yards,
or go naked and work without
tools,
Q, What reason doeB Congress
give for such a tyrannical law ?
A. Congress eays the law is a dif
ferentiation of industrial function,
which means that industry ia the
function of the poor and the differ
ence goc-3 to the rich.
Q. Is that the only reason Con
gress gives?
A No. It says the tariff is in
tended to foster infant industries at
home.
Q. Are the iron, cotton and wool
industries infants ?
A. Xo; they are a hundred yeara
old.
Q. What date ha3 Congress hxed
for these industries to become cf

tectiye tariff ?
A. Protection of the rich from
getting poor and of the poor from
getting rich.
Q. What is the difference between

ers in America ?
A. None. Ia both casea the tax
gatherer lives in the East and the
sheriff is after both.
Q. Is there any other similarity
between the Irish tenants and the
American farmers !
A. Yes; the tenants are too poor
to stay and the farmers are to poor
to leavp.
Q Is that the only benefit Repub
lican protection confers upon the
poor ?
A ITo.. It improves their morals;
keeps them from having useless de
BireS. Q. How does protection produce
such results ?
A. The poor have to work so hard
to support the rich they have no
time for mischief. Having no sur
plus money with which to travel

A tiOVEXOR WITH A KJUFE.
Elsewhere in this sheet will be
found the account of Dr. Exum's,
Third party candidate for govenor,
attacking with a knife Mr. C B.
Aycock.
Besides enjoying the reputation of
being the biggest liar in Wayne
county, he is a cut throat. This
bullet headed, irratable and ill-informed
man aspires to be govenor of
a great common wealth ? Holy hor
rors !
Tell me cot that the good, white
people of Cabarrus county intend fo
cast ballots for such a character !
We shall never believe such of the
Scotch Irish and the Dutch descent
of this county. They have too much
pride in their county and the State
to vest the State's greatest honor and
trust in the keeping of a cut throat.
Nor will those of our colored
citizens who have the best interest
of the State at heart, support such
a character
THE WAY THE TIDE IS.
It is truly remarkable to note the
wholesale changes that are going on
among prominent Republicans, who
have declared and joined Democracy
If this does not mean tiat victory
awaits us on November 8th, it
means nothing.
The Winston Sentinel publishes
nearly two columns of names of
prominent Republicans who havelNcKinky haye Icon printed and
recently deserted Harrison and
pinned their faith to Grover Cleve
land and the great cause he repres
sent3.
North Carolina may stab its best,
noblest and ablest friend in the
Presidential field by voting in such
a way as to give the State to Mr.
Harrison, but the tidejthat ha3 set in
will bring the greatest victory, for
iJemocraey, the nation has ever wit
nessed. Up to this date, all opposition to
him has not shown that Cleveland
does not deeerve the support of the
citizens of North Carolina ; the ly

Mr. Foster represents the best

tells how he even goes to churches

said Mr. Cockian, "ras derogatory
of Mr. Cleveland. I spoke of him

as a candidate. At that toie I did
not agree with the convention. The
convention thought differently, but

was right and I was wrong. There

Candidate With a Knife
Raleigh, N. C, Octot er 26,

night from Wayne county
that Dr. Exum, Third party
nominee for Governor, cut
with a knife C 13 Aycock, one
of the Democratic electors-at-
told him he wonld Bee him
later. Aycock and Marion
Butler Third party electorsat
large, were in a buggy, Exum
in another and they then drove
35 miles. Aycock again and
again demanded an apology;
Exum refused. Butler insisted
that Exum was wrong and
should apologize: Exum
wanted to ride with Aycock
but the latter said he could
not until Exum apologized
Finaly the party arrived in
front of Exum's house. There
Aycock asked Exum if he
would retract. Exum refused
and Aycock told him he wsa
a liar and a scoundrel. Exum,
having a knife, jumped at
him, Aycock took a stick from
Bntler and struck him Ay
cock walking backwards,
stumbled and fell. Exum then
jumped on Aycock and struck
him in the face and cut him in
the arm and side of the head.
Butler ran to pull Exum off;
ixuni cursing Butler, told him
he wculd kill him if he did
not staud back.
After Butler had parted
them Mrs- Exum ran out of the
house and begged Aycock not
to renew the light. lit. then
told her that as she was a
woman he would yield to her
eutreaties. Aycock and Exum
are both hurt, the former pad

Tommlc Dixon's Bird Come High.
Rev. Thoma3 Dixon, jr., pastor of
the Lexington Avenue Baptis church
of this city, and who every Sunday
preaches in the Young Men's Chriss
tain Association hall at Twenty
third street and Fourth ayenue, has
had encounter with the law in which
he did not fare as well as in hi
is
recent indictment for allegad libel
The thrifty borough of Sataten Island
has als been enriched by $155, which
the reverend gentleman left behind
him much against his will.
Mr. Dixon is fond of shooting:
so on iuesday atternoon ne hired
himself away to Giasmere, S. I.
with his colored valet, a double bar
reled shotgun and a canvass bag
When the pleasant afternoon hours
had waned the canvass bag contan
ined 31 robins as proof of the re
vereud gentleman's unerring aim,
The valet thew the bag over his
back, and Mr. Dijon, with his gun
on his Bhoulder and a feeling of
having spent his on ting in
thoroughly proper manner, made
his way back to St. George to take a
boat for the city.
In the depot, however stood an
inquisitive game inspector, John E
Lisk by nama. As he is entitled.
under the law to one-half of the
fines imposed upon persons breaking
the game laws, Inspector Lisk de
cided to look into the bag carried
by the clergyman's valet. The res
suit was that the clerical huntsman
and his man wero arraigned before
Justice Ackers. There the robins
were dumped out on the floor and
couuted with great gnsto by the
inspector. At $5 each Mr. Dixon
was fined $155.
The clegyman expostulated, but
without avail. The law was pointed
out to him, and although he had
broken it unknowingly hewus none
the less guilty. As he did not have
the amount of money required with
htm Jnstic Ackers accepted a blank
check drawn on the Colonial Bank
of this city. Then the minister, valet
shotgun and bag, minus the robins
returned to the city.

It is editorially announced by a

THE BETTERS WILE BET
Tbat Cleveland Will be Elected In

M J Bischof3, agent for Fleming
Bros. Co., Pittsburg, was at Thomp
son's drug store today trying to
make a bet that Cleveland would
be elected. To a reporter he said :
I am a Republican, but I travel,
see, and hear a great deal and am
convinced that Cleveland will win.
My tour brothers in Pittsburg will
this year vote the Democratic ticket,"
although they have been Republi
cans for twenty and thirty years."
"How will Pennsylvania go this
time?"
"The Republican majority will be
reduced about 40,000. In Pitts
burg and Homestead nearly all the
workingmen will vote for Cleveland"
"What is your impression about
West Virginia?"
"I will bet forty to twenty-five
that West Virginia goes Democratic.
The laboring people there are in
sympathy with the workingmen of
Pennsylvania."
What do yon think of North
Carolina and the South ?"
"Well, I have traveled all over the
South and am convinced that there
will be a Solid South. I want to
place some bets that North Caro
lina will go for Cleveland."

A Presbyterian Preacher In a Gown,
Rev. R P. Kerr, D. D., pastor of
the First Psesbyterian church, who
is one of the most popular and dis
tinguished divines in the United
States, has notified the members of
his congregation that on and after
next Sunday, he will wear the
Presbyterian gown while holding
services, In his letter Dr. Kerr
states the following in connection
with the proposed innovation :
'The session cordially and unani
mously consented to it, as this black
gown is the distinctive mark of the
Presbyterian ministry throughout
the world, and ha3 been from the
origin of our Church, and is now
used by our ministers in Great
Britain, Ireland the continent of
Europe generally, in Canada and
Australia, and by an increasing
number in the United States, It
is being taken up in this country as
an assertion of the dignity and sol
emnity of the office of the ambassa
dor of Christ, a mark of historic
Presbyterianum, and a protest
against the common degradation of
the pulpit of our time and country."
Only eighteen members declared
themselves as not in favor of wear
ing the gown, and yet they did not
very strongly oppose it The result
was announced from the pulpit
