T-HIE HEADLIGHT. A. ROSOOWESs - - EPITOK. "GOLt)SnOR0, x. c. edxdXV MoftVixo, Oct. '24, 183$. J JDGETHU3MA!M'S LETTER. judge Tluinnan's letter of acept aice, although written ratl.or late in the campaign, is to the point. It is short, hut exceedingly strong. The 'tariff issue, to which it is almost wholly devoted, could not he presented more clearly. After reading rt, o intelli gent man can fail to understand the position of the Democratic and Repuh Jican parties with respect to that issue. Judge Thurman points out the ab surdity of supposing that the p opie '-can he enriched hy unnecessary taxa tion, or that a man's condition can be improved by taxing his clothes, the clothe of 1 is family and the imple ments vOf his Industry, and lie calls it folly to accumulate in the treasury vast sums which ought to be in circulation, and for the need of which business in terests suffer. A big surplus means a harder struggle for the people to nuke a living, and it encourages extravagant and even useless appropriations. Judge Thurman calls attention to the fact that the republicans have been forced finally to recognize that it is absolutely necessary to reduce the revenues, but their plan of reduction .differs widely from that of the demo crats, because, while the .democrats propose to reduce them so as to make the necessaries of life cheaper, their tariff reduction scheme makes them dearer.; but their scheme is in the in terest of great monopolies, while the .democrats aim to benefit the masses. The assertion that tne republicans are looking out for the interests of the workingmen, are trying to insure them a continuance of good wages, cannot ,be sustained. Judge Thurman calls particular attention to the fact that an .immense majority of workingmen are .not in any way connected with what are called protected industries, and, .therefore, as far as they are concerned, a high protective tariff is not beneficial to them. They are taxed by such a tariff, however, and their earnings re taken to swell the fortunes of the pro tected millionaires. But there is rea son for asserting that those ol the workingmen who are connected with the protected industries would not be injured in any way by a reduction of the tariff. Nobody can satisfactorily show that workingmen would be worse off if the Mills bill were to become a law, while it is easy to show that they would be a great deal better off if it were to become a law.. J udge Thurman's letter is far superi or to that of Mr. Morton, the republi can candidate for Vice-President. It shows that he is a statesman who has a thorough acquaintance with public .questions, while that of Mr. Jlorton is jike that of a man who is not well vers ed in the matters which he discusses. The Judge's letter is a good camguign .document. o . "Whatever I could properly do to promote the re-election of I'resident Cleveland I ought to do. His Ad ministration has betn marked by such integrity, good sense, manly courage and exalted patriotism that a just ap preciation of these high qualities seems to call for his re-election. I am also strongly impressed with the belief that his re-election would powerfully tend to strenghten that feeling of fra ternity among the American people that is so essential to their welfare, peace and happiness, and to the per petuity of the Union and of our free jnstitutions.tfc-n G. Thurnton. Po you hear a low, hoarse continu ous rumble? It is the combined curs ing ascending from several thousand republican editorial rooms. At the end of ten mouths of hard work, in tended to prove that any reform of the tariff meant "free trade," "ruined industries" and "pauper wages." It js hard, very hard, to be forced to take it all back, and within less than two weeks of the election, too. o The cry of the "solid north against the solid south" is not heard as fre quently as it used to be. The dema gogues who raised it have found out that it did not work. The north is very far from being solidly republican. There is no reason why it should be. On the other hand, there are very im portant reasons why the south should be solidly democratic. ' MORTON ANXIOUS ACOUT NORTH CAROLINA. It is alleged by a Xew York morn ing newspaper that Mr. Morton, the republican candidate for Vice-President, is much more anxious that the republicans shall carry North Carolina than any other state. This statement may or may not be just to Mr. Mor ton. The reason given for this anxiety about North Carolina is that his bank ing house, Morton, Bliss & Co., own a very large amount of v. hat are known as the North Carolina special tax bonds, which, with accrued interest, amount to about $80,000,000. These bonds were issued in 1SG8 for the purpose of building railroads. The state at tint time was under carpet-bag rule. The bond were carried to New York and sold for whatever could be obtained for them. The pro jected railroads, however, were never built, and when the democrats gained control of the stair? three years later, the bonds were repudiated. It is said that Mr. Quay was continu ally surprised by questions from M r. Morton about the progress of the can vass in North Carolina, and he could not understand the hitter's remarkable interest in it until this bond matter was brought to his attention. Then he understood why it. was that Mr. Morton did not seem so much interest ed in the canvass in New Jerse, New York, Indiana or Connecticut as in that in North Carolina. Of course, Mr. Morton hopes that if a republican legislature and a republi can governor are elected, there will be some chance of provision being made to pay his bonds. May not all the talk about the probability of the republi cans carrying this State grow out of the efforts that the bondholders are making there in behalf of the republi cans? 31 r. Morton need not be anxious any longer. North Carolina will give a majority, and a very good one, for the democratic state and national tickets The people here have not forgotten the days of carpet-bag rule, and they are not likely to let the Republican party get control of the State again very soon. o There are a good many people who are very much interested in tha presi dential campaign, but whose business prevents them from keeping thorough ly posted concerning it. To thtse the Headlight takes pleasure in say ing that the canvass on the part of the democrats moves on with increasing enthusiasm, aud that the prospects of democratic success are very encour ainr. No single little thing has happened since the Chicago convention to set the teeth of the republican organs so much on edge as Mr. Blaine's open defense of the trusts. There is no parrying the fact that the trusts de pend for their existence on high pro tective tariff duties, and why should the grand old party disown its own children. o The registration is running up tre mendously in New York. It will reach nearly 300,000. This is well lor our Grover. A big vote in New York always means z.n increased dem ocratic majority. Harrison will have to "come down to Harlem river," with a majority of at least 80,000 if he is to carry the state. o We have a Democratic President, a Democrrlic Cabinet, a Democratic House, a Senate which is on the verge of behi Democratic, and now we have a Democratic Chief Justice. And still the country is safe. People are going on attending to business as usu al, and every body seems to be happy. o When you look out of the window, you look through a pane of glass taxed 08.5 per cent. When you look into the mirror, the plate glass that reflects back your image is taxed 85.8 per cent. The only wonder is that sand, the raw material out of which glass is made, is not taxed. A paragraph concerning the Rev. Sam Small is going the rounds, and contains the statement that .Mr. Small's sketches, written under the assumed , name oi "Uld Si," brought him his greatest fame. If this ?s true, Mr. Small is not a very famous man. . The republicans see the handwrit ing on the wall. They are frightened but they are whistleing to keep up their courage. Does not every well-informed man know that tli5 increase in prica of home manufactures, produced by a high tariff, does not go into the pock ets of laboring men, Lut only tends to swell the rockets of others? Thur- mmts Letter of Acceptance. . When have times been better? When have our merchants been more prosperous, our manufactures more pushed with business than under Gro ver Cleveland's administration1 Why change a safe man for an untried man ? It is rumored that Mr. Blaine is go ing to enter journalism. lie would be a failure as an editor. He isn't care fid enough of his facts. On- of these studious, painstaking editors would j tear him to pieces. The esteemed republicans are gradu ally coming round to the view that it is of no consequence, anyhow how the Maine election went. The reports from New Jersey repre sent that state as being for lower taxes. This means, of course, that it will go democratic. The time approaches when Brother Harrison will drop out of sight.
