From the Missouri Republican. ; Paoli, Pa., July -1 1 . Chas. Wi Knapp, Esq., Washington Bureau, Missouri Republican: Dear Sir I am in receipt of your letter,, and as explained in a previous interview when you called upon me, I under stand your object to be to ask an ex pression of my opinion as to the prob ability of legislation this winter to re duce taxation. Your chief object, you state, is to develop the possibility of uniting the Democrats of the House upon a measure having an unmistak able party stamp. You then subjoin suggestions which you state have al ready been submitted to Democratic members of the Fiftieth Congress in similar letters of inquiry. You in quire : "1. Is there a practical basis of cempromise througlrwhich the Demo crats of the House can unite ?" There is such a basis, and has been all along, which might have been adopted for the creation ot a fair and just system of revision of our present tariff and internal revenue taxation. But nothing can be done in the future as nothing was done in the past, if the House is organized as heretofore, de liberately, it would seem, on the theory that the dictum of a few so called leaders not without the sus picion of representing other interests must be taken without question and accepted in every point and as an al ternative, if it be rejected, that then notting shall be permitted to be done. There must be a disposition shown to act fairly all around, and that, dispo sition can never exist : when we are told by one of these self-constituted leaders: "Let us take off one-faith now. At . tnat ; does not reduce tne revenue, we can take off more. Some time we will cut to the quick and draw blood. If twenty per cent will not reduce the revenue, perhaps fifty will." I do not entertain any feeling of vengeance against the producers of this country because they are enjoy ing a season of general prosperity. I prefer their welfare to their distress, their success to their ruin. The revenue is too great, and a re duction of the current surplus is nec essary. Some think this so to an ex tent about equal to the amount col lected under our internal revenue law. If that amount is too much, it would compel a closer approach to the "revenue only" line, as demanded by a certain class of Democrats. In tbis light why not abolish the intern al revenue system ? Excise taxes are war taxes. lhey have been so re garded at all times, and from their inquistorial and arbitrary character they have been esteemed always as dangerous to the peace and comfort and civil rights of our people. It is true that they are quickly collected, and in times of war have been resort ed to with great advantage. It has been the unvarying precedent oi Dem ocratic administrations, under like circumstances, to abolish the internal revenue taxes just so soon as the ne cessities of war had rendered them un necessary. The tax upon tobacco, which the agriculturial interests throughout the country have clamor ed against for years, -would have been repealed at the last session oi Con gress if the Representatives of the peo ple in the House of Representatives had been allowed to vote thereon, for it is well understood the Senate would have concured in snch repeal. This was denied by an assumption of power lor which there was and is no constitutional authority. Think of it ! The whole number of" the represen tatives of the people of the United States deprived of the right of reliev ing their constituents from the impo sition of unneeded taxation. Such a proceedure will not occur soon again. In reply to .your second question. W ould an unequal cut of - internal and tariff taxes afford such basis V I answer in the negative. The reduction in the tariff rate of duties should be a matter of separate and instinct ; consideration, . and ; be done with a due regard lo the condi tions existing as to. wages in' this eoun try as compared with wages paid for line iaoor in proaucirg sucn articles as are importad, which would, when here, come in competition with like articles produced in the United States. I am ready on this basis, to enter - in good iaith upon such a basis ot reduct ion that is, wherever such can be done without dansrer to bur Ameri can producers.'- This proposition is in substance, the utterance ot the con ven tion of the Democracy at Chicago in 1884, when :and where the free traders were utterly routed and made confes sion at that time of their complete discomfiture. ' We must distinctly ad' nere to tne spirit and , letter oi our platform on which Mr. ' Cleveland was eleeted. You ask third :. "Assumine this ac ceptable, is it: feasable to carry the el ement of compromise into. the select ion of the tariff schedule?", and fourth : "Are there concessions of any other kiwi the majority of the party can offer without sacrihce of princi ple r' r - - - " ; : Our people have grown accustomed to raisiug revenue by duties on lm ports. ' It is collected, without frict ion nt the border, it permits the en couragement of all our domestic man ufacturers which are unable to- com pete successfully -in the markets of the world with foreign productions. I am opposed, therefore, to any" legislation which will destroy, or seriously crip ple, any American interest. Of course I should not refuse," but favor, legisla tion conceived and executed in such a spirit of concession as would bring about a schedule of tariff duties which would reduce taxation to the lowest figures required for an eopnornicai ad ministration ol the government, at the same time in the laying of these duties I would insist that wherever it necessary and within the proper purview of the law itself, to see to the securing of the fullest encouragement and incidental protection t our in dustrial interests, it should be done, no matter in what part of the Union they may be located. This course of action is in harmony with Democrat ic hLtory and it is likewise prompted by a due regard to the "advancement of our interests as well as . an ap proach to the destiny of our-, eoiintry. We would be worso than heathens not to take care of our own. It is a mere assumption that some men act from what they call "princi ple" and" others do not. The loudest shouters fof free trade have been found, when it came to the consider ation of the details of a tariff bill, vot ing persistingly for the largest pro tective duties upon the most ridicul ously small productive, interests of their districts. the truth is that al men are alike in these respects, and home matters beine better understood are less ignored, and being better un derstood, . the representative yields prompt submission to what he believes to be just and right towards his con stituents.

Mr. Cleveland the Democratic, and TMaine the Republican Candidates. New Yokk, July 19. Th Herald prints a two-column, interview with Henry Watteraon ou politics in " gen eral. Mr. Watterson says that the Democrats are bound to renominate Cleveland, whether they like him or not, as there is no one to contest the the field with him. He was asked if he liked Cleveland and replied : "Well, as the old woman at the mourner's bench observed, when asked whether she loved the Lord, I may say, 'I haint got nufin agin him.' " - He is also quoted a saying : " A.t one time I thought the republicans would put a dark horse in the race. Recent indications point to a renomination of Mr. Blaine. In that event we will have the old fight over again, with some material variations." "What will these variations be ?" "Less scandal and, cakimny and more old-fashioned party- bitterness. The Mulligan letter-box' is an ex ploded magazine, and the president's . . i -! rT , marriage Knocked inaria naipin as high as a kite. The real- issues are gathering with greater positiveness and clearness.

Two such questions stoutly maintained canuot fail to produce a great deal of feel ing. "Where do you think the advantage will be'2" - "On the whole with the democrats, I think.

The total re ceipts ior lares lor nve months was $2,7. 7.65. The exhibit shows a steady and rapid increase ot business, toe traffic in June being almost double what it was in March.

The cry of the auc tioneer, the whistle of the steam engine, the song of the plow boy, the ring of the hammer, the buzz of the saw, the rumble of wagons come to the ears of the traveler in a mighty hum the sounds ot a free and happy country. Especially are these prevalent in and around the progressive town of Hen derson, the Kansas city of North Car- ohno. this term is not given m a spirit of braggadocio or flattery but advisedly and lor a reason, liotli thee usty towns have doubled their popu- ation in live years, lhe census of 80 gave Kansas city 55,000 inhabi tants, in '85 her population numbered 110,000. Henderson during these ears has increased in the same pro portion until now not less that 5,000 souls breathe daily her air perfumed with the fragrance of the golden weed Her growth, while so very rapid is sure and abiding, no mush room prod- gy springing up in a night but a con stant, bona fide establishment a thinjj of endurance and utility, lasting and growinjr as the years roll on. Yv hen business house is built in Hender son, it is early and quickly disposed of, and then there are always custom ers to support the business. In no sense is she an overgrown place. Her trade is far-reaching, her back country is large and produces the best paying crop raised in the South, while her to bacco men are zealous to preseive er reputation as the best market in the State. Though rival markets exist and sell a great deal of the weed, in quiry brings out the fact that Hen derson has sold more tobacco this year than ever before in its history. At the .present rate of sales ten million pounds would be a pretty close esti mate or the probable quantity to be sold this year. This promises to be a notable year in the development of lenderson, especially so far as tobac co buildings are concerned. Mr. D. i. Cooper, the real founder of the lenderson tobacco market and tho. most successfuf waiehouseman in the State, is now building one of the lar gest and best fitted-u p warehouses. when completed, lor the sale of leaf tobacco in North Carolina. In recos- nitiod of his worth a3 a business man and his success as a tobacconist, the urbane Mr. J . fc. Carr, the Prince of the Bull, sent Mr. Cooper a marble brick last week which will occupy a conspicuous place in the new ware house. Messrs. Davis Brothers, pro prietors of the "Side Light," are now to double the capacity of their already commociious nouse. j.ne oricic- ware house of Messrs. Harris, Gooch & Co. is also to be enlarged and improved in many ways. Messrs. Slrause & llaah, of Richmond, have already laid the foundation for a ten thousand dollar brick prize house. Within one year the noted firm of Allen & Ginter ex pect to be manufacturing cigarettes in a branch establishment there. Mtssrs. Cary Brothers, the first firm in this market to ship tobacco direct to Eng land, will also install themselves in a handsome , building on Garrett Street at no distant day. To build, to en large, to improve is certainly the or der of the day here. Eight miles South ot Henderson lies Kittrell, the quietest, the most delight ful place to spend the summer in that may be found within the borders of North Carolina. Situated in a pictur esque country where gently sloping hills stretch out before the eve till earth mingles with sky, where tiny streams steal forth to find the great sea, where the sky seems clearer and the air purer than anywhere else ; it is a place where one delights to linger free from the noise and dust of the city. Ail in search of rest and recre ation m?.y find here a peaceful elysium in which to dream, , and think and sleep. Kittfcll Springs was once the favorite and most fashionable resort in the South.- Even after1" the war, under the able management of Mai. Blackwell, it flourished with some of the- old-time popularity : but ' soon 'twas abandoned to the bats, and owls could be heard howling within the ball-room and finally burned just after having been sold for school purposes.

Etraet froin tht State .Cirouicl. "A generous gentleman, whose name is synonymous with charity and good deed?, - has written the "Wilmington Star, offering to contribute $1,000 to ward the monument if it is erected at Raleigh, or $2,500 if at Durham. That is the first note of music which it is hoped will. ring all over the State. Earnest effort will speedily secure the requisite funds. The press takes a lively interest in .furthering the scheme. All should pull together in the matter. The following is the let ter to the Star, in question : The matter of erecting a monument to the Confederate soldiers who were killed or died in the late war between the States has for a long time been a matter to which I have given much consideration and thought. ' It is no time here to discuss the unfortunate ending of the war, and its results, etc, but we cannot help but ponder over the millions of money that are being paid out to the victors, all of which goes into the Northern States, and the costly mausoleums and monuments that are -being erected all over the North to her fallen heroes, and yet the bravest of the brave, the dead from North Carolina, have no stone to mark their last resting place. "They whose merits deserve a temple, Can now scarcely find j. tomb." As I have stated in the beginning, I have given matters ot this sort much consideration, and I hope the day has come when North Carolina will move in tie matter of suitably honoring the memory of her brave dead. Feeling as I do about this matter, I have been very much interested in the movement on the part of the Star to raise funds sufficient to erect a suitable monument to the memory of our fallen braves. I wa a privaU ia the late war and in the general brejsk-up I footed it home; butfortuns k3 smiled upon me to a greater extent, in all probability, than the majority of my unfortunate com rades, and I am willing to set apart a portion of my earnings f r the erec tion of a suitable monument to those of our comrades whose bleaching bones we left upon the fields of Vir ginia. I have, thought of making a response something like this to the proposition of the btar to raise a fund for this purpo.p. I will give 81,000 tor the erection of a suitable monu ment to the memory of North Caroli na's dead soldiers, if a sufficient amount is raised to erect a monument creditable to their memoiy, this mon ument to be located at Raleigh. Or I will give $2,500 to the erection of such a monument if located at Dur ham, and I will deed to the associa tion a square, to be known as "Con federate Square," and upon this square 1 will erect one or more toun tains, plant shrubbery, evergreens, shade trees, and the like, and furnish "seats on the grounds for the accommoda tion of the public, and otherwise beau tify and adorn the square. It is a matter that I am very much interest ed in, and I trust you will push the movement to a successful termination. You certainly have mv sympathies, and you shall have my money to the extent intimated aoove, for the con summation of this-ni03t desirable ob ject, an object which ought to be dear to the heart of every true North Car olinian. Strange to me it is that our people are so hard to move in matters of this kind. It is a noble undertak- ng and I trust you will not be dis couraged. - THE CELEBRATION.

Dear Sir : From the enclosed corres pondence ylm will observe that I have been appointed, by the Constitution Centennial Commission, Chairman of the Committee and Marshal in charge of the civic and industrial demonstra tion by which it is intended in part to celebrate the Formation and Promul gation of the Constitution of the Uni ted States. I need not remind you that it is of the highest importance that this cele bration should not alone illustrate our moral, intellectual and material progress within the past hundred years, but that it should be made so imposing as to leave an indelible im pression on the minds of our people particularly upon the youth of tho land, as to the paramount importance of upholding the constitution as the sheet anchor of our liberties the bulwark of our prosperity and hap piness of our people. In July, 1788 there was a celebration in this city, intended not only to manifest the grat ification of the people on the adoption of the Constitution by ten of the States, but also to stimulate its ratifi cation by all the States composing the old Confederation. On that occasion the processional display, which re ceived the countenance and the hearty support of the leading men of the period, representing all branches of business, industries of all kinds, as well as the judiciary, the professions, and the schools of learning, headed by the venerable University of Penn sylvania, etc , was the most compre hensive and suggestive ever attempted up to that period on this piile of the Atlantic. It devolves upon us in the coming celebration to illustrate, as far as pos sible, in the processional display, the marvelous material and industrial ad vance which has been made under the benign iufluence of the Constitution. It is a celebration in which all should participate.. To assure success will require generous and cardial co operation, and up jn this I confidently rely. Without presuming to indicate a a plan for your guidance I may say that it has been suggested that your Excellency appoint a committee to which shall be assigned the duty of di recting the attention of your citizens to the subject, and the organizing your industries for participation in the demonstration, which it is proposed to imtite, ii possible, the most imposing or the kind ever witnessed on this conti nent. Willi such a committee or any other agency you may suggest, I shall be glad to co-operate. Hoping to hear lroin you on thi3 subject and confidently relying upon your valuable assistance, 1 have the honor to remain, Your obedient servant, A. LiOrnox s.vowdkx. To hi Excellency, Gr. A. 3f. Sealr-, Ualeiqh,N. (J. The Harmony of History. Mr. Samuel J. Rauiall shamefully slanders the Democratic party when le asserts that his obstructive course in regard to the tariff is "in harmony with Democratic history." Andrew Jackson in his message to Congress in 1832 earnestly recommended a gradu al diminution of duties to the revenue standard. In alluding to the discon tent created by the high tariff of that period President Jackson added that the people could not be expected to pay high taxes for the benefit of the manufactures when revenue was not required for the administration of the- government. lhis was the Democratic tariff doctrine fifty years ago, and it is the Democratic doctrine nov. The tariff which Andrew Jackson propos ed to reduce to the revenue standard, and which was so reduced, was a measure of mildness and moderation compared with the monopoly-breeding lauusier oi wnicn lutnuau is one oi the most slavish devotees. Yet he has the hardihood to assert over" his own signature that his tactics of ob struction in the last two houses of Congress were in harmony with "Dem ocratic . history. -lrhuadelimia tie- cord, Dem. - , SCIENTIFIC 'TOWN-BOOMING. The "Wild Southern Western Way" Gives Our Towns a Valuable Hint. Wichita, ; Kansas, is noted far and wide for its wonderful progress, sur passing in some respects the marvelous growth of Birmingham. The secret of this progress is told bv a Wichita business man in the following Words : We organized. We held -almost nightly meetings, and among the first thing we agreed jipon was to hancr to gether and stay by each other through thick and thin. We advertised by hundreds of thou sands of circulars. We set forth all our advantages in such a manner that strangers whe were led by our circu- iars to give us a call were not deceiv ed, but, on the contrary, agreed that we nad not put it as strong as we might. Every town hi the East of notoriety was not only served with our circulars but our newspapers. And the newspaper advertisin' did double duty. Our neoole made it a rule to ask all their triends to advertise. We then subscribed . for a laru-u number of copies, loaded with local advertising and great advantages, and we round by conversing with nnrt.ira who finally came here -prospecting that the full advertising columns of our papers which thev had seen did more than all else to impress them with the growth and importance of the place. We found then we could not overdo this thing that the more we paid out for these purposes the more were our profits. Every new comer was a cus tomer to most of our stores, and while their advertising paid to them rich returns, it served the double purpose to impress the Eastern man who had an eye to .business with the fact that Wichita was a rising town, and thus we have gone on until we have added population since I came here of over 20,000 and property has increased in business places more than a thousand fold, and in the country round about us the appreciation has been over 400 per cent. I know as well as you can know hat printer's ink is the best capital to boom a town. Had we not used it unsparingly Wichita would not have been larger than Carthage. As it is we will soon outrank any town in the State." An Old North Carolina Flag. J. L. PATTERSON. F. F. PATTERSON . PATTERSON fc PATTERSON, Attorneys and Counsellors at Law.

By direction of Marshal A. Lioudon Snowdcn. J. W. Hoemaxx, Chief of Staff. A Grand Army .Journal Cnll a Malt. The Grand Army Journal, publish ed in Boston, in its last says : "Many comrades are asking whether the cru sade now going on against the Presi dent is really on account of his veto of the dependent pension bill or is a pre concerted political movement in opposition' to a Democratic, Ad ministration. Comrades, politics is a dangerous rock, which will surely 'wreck our organization if we fail to give it a wide berth. "All hands about ship!" The grand army should cease fooling around the rag ged edge of politics. Either cast, out entirely the political devil that has al ready shown its blasphemous presence or else-sail in and show your hand in j a square manly fashion. It is evident that there is a political motive in the attack upon the Presi dent under the guise of the Grand Army opposition. Notwithstanding the fact that it has been admitted that the President had nothing to do with originating the order for the re turn of the rebel flags, the warfare against him has been kept up with such venom that it has disgusted all fair-minded people."

Private Secretary (.'. II. Am.lield yesterday received a fine photo of the old flag of the llJth North Carolina regiment. The recent furore about the Confederate Hags in the War De partment at Washington has led some people to making inquiries about the North Carolina state ihigs and it has been found that there are only lour of the ilags of the "Old North State" on deposit at the National capital. The others are scattered here and there, being in the possession of various in dividuals. This flag is iu the posses sion of Mr. Sherman Kudasill, now of Sherman, Texas. Mr. ILudasill was the llag-bearer of the lGth regiment aud is just now .'0 years old. He is a native of Gaston county. He had the flag at the time of the surrender, and to prevent its capture he quilted it up into the colonel s overcoat and carried it home with him. When he moved to Texas some years ago he carried it with him. When the great flag excitement broke out a few weeks ago, he took it from its recep tacle and had some photos of it struck oil", one of which he sent to Mr. Jas per Stone, of Gastou county, who in turn sent it to Private Secretary Arm lield. There are several names on the flag, as follows: "lGth N. C. Troops," Seven Pines, Cedar Hun, Sharpshurg, Mccht'iiiesville, Manas sas, Shcpherdstown, Games' Mill, Ox Hill, Fredericksburg, F raider's Farm, Harper's Ferry, and Chancel lorsville.
