WtJEKK WILL OUR IRON MAN
UFACTURING CITY BE 1
Tbis is a subject which we have
brought to the notioe of onr peo
ple soTcrnl times daring the last twelve
months, one in which our neighboring
towns should feel u much inteiest as
My brought before tnem, from the fact
that this is mi age of progress, especial
ly ig regards the construction of rail
roads, and no inland town can consider
ilaelf on a solid foundation, oi anything
W«uuch more thai mushroom growth
without manufactories, for though they
may be flourishing, and real estate go
ing up by the bouse, a new tailroad
nay open up another place, which
promises more, and the Iwpes of our
mow flourishing towc may be irretrieva
bly blasted. If no other placo wants
«or irou why not manufacture it at
I)aabury ? True we have no money to
build furnaces aßd stacks, or with
which to construct and equip railroads
to put oar iron on the markets of the
country, but we are now in a position
tbat we can offer capitalists from other
sections and other States inducements
that will cause them to invest here
Millions of Northern capital is now ly
ing idle only waiting to see where it oan
be profitably invested to pay a small,
but sure pel cent, and if we will show
what we htve, and offer liberal induce.
Bents, hundreds of thousands of it will
be invested here iu Stokes, not only in
building furnaces, but iu the ooustruo
tioo of railroads to convey the crude or
manufactured iron to other markets,
•nd develop our untold wealth. Stokes
county has been very much neglected,
not having railroads to haul around our
kid glove State Geologists, their visits
have been few aud far between, and
when they did oome it was as a general
thing, only to glace atound, return, and
make their reports on what some bod;
else said. Hundreds of the young men
of North Caioltaa, hearing of the im
mense fortunes picked up in the mining
regions of the far West are leaving tho
State to seek wealth, without looking
to see what we have at home.
DANBURY AS A dUMMEIt RE
SORT AND oi AN U FACTOR
ING TOWN.
foor old much abused, belittled, slan
dered Danbury, will yet come to the
front, it has advantages that few places
in North Carolina or any other State
can claim. First, as a u.anufacturing
point her climate is all that could be
wished for, neither exceptionally hot in
summer or cold in winter; her drinking
watci is free stone, impregnated with
just cnojgh iron to make it a mild tonic
giving strength and vigor to the work
man; her water power is maguificeni,
just as good \s could be visited for, she
i* surrounded by fine timber on eveiy
side, while sho is in the very midst of
tb« finest mineral section in the coun
ty}. We do not hesiuto to rnako the
assertion that her magnetic iron ore
deposits arc the heaviest of any in the
State, and then her deposits of manga
nese promise to be sufficient lor ill
&e purposes for whieh it may b« re
quired. As a summer resort, Danbury
stands by nature, first foremost; first
because of its being the nearest and
most sgreeable point 8. E. to tide
water that combines the great variety of
mineral springs, with its beautiful
mountain seenery, foremost because of
being in the midst of se many mineral
fp rings, the waters of which possesss
•ueh a great variety of medicinal proper
ty. The pure air and gasses given off
by' Ike springs driving off every thing in
tba shape of malaria. Alono because .
this is the only plane in the State where ,
so great a number of uiihrrul *priug, 1
with as pure ir ami grind i tii■ '
•senary can be fvtisd combined. \\ c '
have thought t-r juiim . llul tho lime
wuwid oi.me when this would be, .»(*>-
•taMy during tbe summui mouths, the
fastest place in the State, so we thiuk ,
now.
• FOUND VIEWS.
The advocates of that "wise and pru
dent reduction ef internal tuxa'.ion"l
which the Democrats of Pennsylvania
' approved in their convention at Allen
town, wilidn thoir utmost this winter to
secure the abolition of tho tax on tobac
oo, aud, unfortunately, with good pros
pects of success. But these enemies of
the internal revenue system aro perfect
ly well aware of the truth referred to in
our Washington di«patches that to re
move the tobacco tax is to throw away
some $30,000,000 of tevenue without
appreciably benefitting the tnxpayer.
This tax since May 1, 1885, has been
aight cents a yound, which is one-fourth
of the tax originally imposed. Its re
moval will have scarcely all appreciable
effect upon market pricey, and it is so
easily and ebuaply collected that the
administrative expenses will not be re- ,
duced by its abolition. But if Mr. ,
Kandall and bis friends can remove it
they will get lid of $30,000,000 of the
troublesome surplus and to that extent
avert attaoky upon their favor ite war
taxes. It is a wretchedly indefensible j
policy to rffwiove tans of which nobody
justly eon.pliins, and whose payment is
purely voluntary, in order to retain
i others, which makes the cost of living
i decidedly higher for every person in the
. country, which arc oppressive, ill adjust- i
fcd, vexatious, costing oi collection and I
wholly un/ustifiable, save a scheme of'
' pnblic plunder for privste benefit. But
1 with the selfiah protectionist mind con- j
> sideratioai of abstrtact right arc less
i wowcrful than the promptings of greed
' WHAT LOCOMOTIVE WHISTLES
MEAN.
i
r One long blast of the whistle is a sig-1
a nal for approaching stations, railroad
crossings and junctions.
One short blast of the whistle is a
signal to apply the brakes—stop.
Two long blasts of the whistle arc a'
' signal to throw off the brakes.
r Two short blasts «f the whistle are
. ' an answer to tho conductor's signal to
[ stop at the next statiou.
Three long blasts of the whistle are a 1

\ |
( the train is running are a signal to be

; Five short blasts of the whistle are a '
signal to the flagman to go back and '
protect tbe rear of the train.
A succession of short blasts of the! s
whistle is au alarm for persons or cattle
on tbe track, and calls the attention of .
trainmen to danger ahead.— Racine

i Our Republican exchanges have re 1
ocntly published a letter from Fred '
Douglass urging the negroes to vote the "
KepuDlican ticket. This shows that J
the more sensible negroes are getting , w
' ready to leave the g. o. p., and it is
i thought necessary to sing tho "l'ubli
can party freed you" cry again. Let
the North Carolina Republican papers
quote Douglass, if thev choose, but the j
Chronicle can tell them that no decent
Suuthem white man, or negro who has a
particle of race pride, has any respect;
for any negro who marries a while wo j
mail. Miscegenation propagandist* will j

While Republicans ought to be
ashauicd to quote from the pen of j

The question, what is a mugwump in
politics 1 has been often asked and as '
variedly answered as frequently asked. '
Mr. Curtis says it is a man who will
not support a corrupt or unworthy man '
because he is nominated by the party to
which be belongs. He is such a Mug
wump. Tbe editor of the Chicago News
an Independent, was asked tho ques
tion. His reply was epigrammatic.
" A Republican with a conscience."
The Chronicle needs only to add that
there are no Mugwumps, according to
this definition, in North Carolina.—

In a republic like ours, where there
are political parties, a newspaper witn
cut any fixed political opinions, is a
very poor guide and cducatoi of the
people. By referring to Itcvelatioos,
third chapter, you can get information
on this matter.
It seems to us Democratic papers in
some cases do uot understand the feel
ing of the masses in the Soutn, in re
gard to the lievcnue system as now car
rted out.
Not one in fifty of the voters in the |
South, would know what it wrs, if they
were to meet the biggest kind of a Tariff
in the road on a bright sunshiny day,
but the last liltln towhead, hardly knee
high, knows the Intetal Revenue system
the darkest night that Jack with his
lantern weut frowling around, and none j
are tou old or too young, if they can j
just say daddy to curse its infernal!
workings.
it is all nonsense to talk about the }
people bhing more interested in getting
rid of the Tarifl, than the Revenue Law,
they may wish the Tariff in the bottom
of tlio ocean, but they do wish the whole
Revenue Law, (as regards Tobacco,;
Whiskey and Hrandy,) at the d 1,
and if something is uot done, will tell
you so at the next elections. We are
mighty good Democrats, but believe the 1
repeal of this obnoxious law in keeping
with Democratic principles, and in out
opinion, the only safe plan is to look :he
danger square in the face, aud if we can
not moet it in a square fight dodgo, if
there is an j dodging ground', aod the
papers that say seep up the Revenue in
place of tho Tariff, will please tell us.
where to dodge. We don't kuow much,
we've bin woikin' caLbago and 'tateis

way it looks to us.
