A HSXRE EOU THE FARMERS.
Wilmin&ton Jlisnt iiger.
Of all crass ignorance, it ap
jiearstous that the ignor
ance of Mi Kinley and other
republicans in both Houses
of the Congress is the great
est. These would-be-tariff
builders do not understand
the primary principle of poli
tical economy and are not in
the horn-books of tariff ma
king. They are trying to ac
complish an impossibilt.v, to
wit this: to have heavy ex-
orta i ions of A merica n pro
ducts .vithout also heavy im
portations of foreign prod
ucts. They are' essaying in
their extreme folly and-blindness
to compass that which
is as unattainable as to
nqua re the circle or create per
petual motion.
If those ignorant tinkers
had studied the great tariff
speeches hitherto made in the
Federal Congress, or had
read w ith even extreme rapid
ity the great works on polit
ical economy, they would not
have been betrayed into the
stupidity of which they are
guilty. How can you make
a bargain unless two be a
greed, or how can you con
duct trade w ithout two being
) rty to it ? If you refuse to
buy all foreign products
please tell how you can sell
your products obroad ? Since
the world was made there
never was commerce with on
ly one side to it. The Chica
go Aeirs commenting upon
Mr Mills' com plete extinguish
er of McKinley says this :
'"If this country will buy
iitli'!. g abroad St m II
nothing abroad. What then
is t ') lfvomeof themnnv ini!l-
j inns of htrhelsof w lif.it, t orn.
run in ns ; n:u is to m-
!Mtliii (if lint flirt 'rii!Hrint fnl'-
eign trade in bi-cf and live eat
tie which is j;rowin. up? Kv-
idently these articles will he, no mission to perforin", he
shutout from the mnrkctsisaid. "because the causes
now open to them if foreign-j ivhi' h separated thiseount ry
lers are to he denied the right
to sell their products in tlie
rnited States. Even now,
those markets nro irreatlv
restricted by the hostility a
rousedbythe existing hisrh
taiiff. To make that high
tariff higher would ben source
of infinite loss to the farmers,
burdened as they now are
with over-production."
When McKinley and his
crowd of iucapables under -
take to satisfy the fa rmersj
by empty performanes they !
will find that, no longer will!
their deceiving dodges
have!
their npjiointeil effects. All
along the farmers have been
beguiled by promises and to
their ruin. Now thev de-
mand something more sub
stantial. The present tariff
is oppressive, is unequal, is
unjust, is unconstitutional, is
unwise. It builds up great pin
tocrats, creates devouring
monopolists, but robs the
poor and wrongs thefarmers
of the whole land who are the
true basis of all sound pros
perity. Putting certain farm
products into the tariff sched
ule will bring no relief. It is
a delusion and a snare, and
the f miners of the bill under
stand that perfectly. The St.
Paul Globo another leading
north western paper, has the
right view of the matter,
when it says:
"As has been abundantly
demonstrated, farm prod
ucts need no -protection ex
cept to be allowed to seek an
nniestricted market. For
eign agricultural pioductsdo
not compete with ours only
in foreign markets. There
fore, all that American farm
ers ask, is to be allowed to
get into the foreign markets
on an equality w ith the agri
culturists of other countries.
This can not be done as they
are hampered with tariff re
strictions at home."
Eift your restrictions upon
trade and open the world to
the American farmers, and
you will move on the line of
relief and genuine help. It is
all nonsense to say that you
protect American farming
when you put up your high
Chinese Wall and shut out
the products of theworl'l. lie
taliatory laws are adopted
and then Am,ericanfarm pro
ducts are subjected to the
same unfriendly treatment a
broad. At this very hoiirour
farmers in all the states are
reaping a harvest of disap
pointment and poverty in the
unwise and restrietivelaws of
itadicalism. They are enrich
ing a million engaged in man
ufacturing, but by oppress
ing and robbing fifty-five
millions of people who are
not interested one penny in
such operations. Thisis sui
cidal and immoral.

The words traitor, rebel and

The
man who would seek to des

unw orthy of the inheritance j

the height of sacrilege.
. Such a paper assumes a pi
ous whine, nauseating in the
extreme and poses as a repre
scntative of Christianity. It
could not live without the as
sumption ofsome moral force;
it would not be tolerated,
and so it steals the livery of
heaven. In the name of God
and the truth, of honesty and
of integrity, I, for one, repu
diate this so-called newspa
per as in any sense represen
tative of Christianity. The
God who presides oyer the

not my God. I do not know
II tin, I never knew Him. I do
not want to know Him. A
bout as near as I can make
it, his God is the devil, whom
I fight and fear, w ith this ex
ception, that the devil is
shrewder and inoreartisticin

Editor Democrat:
We are having fine show
ers with plenty of sun-shine,
ami the prospects for boun
tiful crips are very encoura
ging indeed. I reckon the
"good tinies" we heard so
much about a year or two
ago are realty about to set in
any way. I can't, see w hy
times shouldn't get. better
now, since the iihiir bill has
I been passed and the Internal
Revenue law repealed, just
ev.nc.tly as our lriends, the
republicans, promised should
be done.
By the way, wherf. is "Alex
under Rill"? Has he pulled
the hole in after him? Hope
he will send us a message
soon, if he is afraid to come
out', and let us know if hides
ire back on the free list; and
if he thinks we will have to
puy any higher for our tin
cups, wash-pans and such
like than formerly. I have
heard that all such things as
these that we farmers have
to have would sell for double
what they do now, and that
diamonds and such things as
that would sell aheap cheap
er after a little when times
get better. Mighty queer
things happen these days a
nyhow. I have just heard that there
was a powerful EFFORT at
Poone the other day to
change the County Commis
sioners. Did you see any
thing of it? A prominent re
publican told. some one that
it looked very strange to
him to see a Lieut. Governor
taking the -census about
Roone. Our enumerator isa

The Philadelphia- Press
high tariff boomer says that
"free sugar will give a great
stimulus to the manufactu
rers of jams, jellies, preserves
etc. in this country. This is
doubtless so, but it is remar
kable how long it took the
keen eyed Press to make the
dicovery. If free sugar is so
good, how is it about free
wool ? Wilmington Star.

After breakfast. next
morning, I went out to take
in the city. The Piedmont
wagon works was my flist
place to visit, and it. well
paid me for the walk of a
mile and n half. They were
making from 8 Jo 12 wagons
per day while capacity is 20.
After returning, I soon met
up with my former teacher
and that perfect gentleman,
Prof. W. F. Marshall, of Le

me through the new furniture

is that homo capital owm;

next morning "hit the grit"
