F. Raihd Suff. WASHINGTON LETT EH. From onr Secular Correspondent. Secretary Carl isle has left no doubt as to where ho and President Cleveland stand on tl'e sugar question. He told Representative Meyer, of La., that the administration would oppose any attempt to put s'.igur tin the free list, but would aid in the passage of the substitute proposed by the Senate Finance Com mittee, striking out the dif lerencein Duty of one-eighth of a cent a pound on refined sugar, leavingnll sugars duti able at a flat rate of 40 per cent ndvalorem. Secretary Carlisle still holds to his ori ginal opinion that he has no authority to pay out a dol lar for bounty on sugar, but he told Mr. Meyer that In and President Cleveland were both in favor of legislation providing not only for the payment of the bounty upon all sugars made previous to the taking effect of the new tariff but for the payment upon this year's entire crop of the difference between the bounty and the duty on foi eign sugar. Had this infor mal ijn been in the posses sion of the Louisan.i sugar planters it is probable that they might have adopted a different sort of resolution at their meeting last week. He also told Mr. Meyer that his letter to Senator Harris, showing the necessity for the revenue that the sugar duty will bring in was submitted to President Cleveland and was approved by him before it was sent. It was so stated in this correspondence at the time, although the know it allasserted that the letter was sent without Mr. Cleve land's knowledge and against his wishes. Tho True inwardness of the alleged flop of Senator Jones, of Nevada, from the Repub licans to the Populists is now known. It was mrely a Re publican trick. Jones is no more a Populistthau he ever was and his pretended flop is but the first move in a game which was to have been secret and which has for its final object the nomination and election to the Presiden cy ot nenator u.imeron, ot IVnnyslvania. Jones is the father of the Cameron boom ami when he found that the suggestion was very coldly received known connection with railroad and other cor porations, notwithstanding the free coinage of silver, which was to be the corner stone of his canvass, he was disappointed. Then it was that Jones involved the scheme of joining the Popu lists and t u;iiing their organ ization into a purely silver party, eiimeuating every thing else from their plat form, and having them en dorse the Cameron boom, which he calculated would in-, duce the Republican conven tion to nominate Cameron on a free silver platform. The scheme would not have had one chance out of a possible .one hundred even if it had been kept secret as intended, hut now that it has oeen ex- posed it simply hao no Ichance at all. Men of Don Cameron's calibre have been elected President, but no mnn of his associations ever has bHn or ever will be, al though of course, lie m ay buy a nomination if he will pay the pi ire. This isn't n good adminis tration for sinecures. Secre tary Hoke Smith's nxe has just fallen upon another. Like a great many other eo pie Secretary Smith was puz zled when he first heard of the editor of the U. S. Geo logical Survey. A little in vestigation convinced him that the said editor was drawing $2000 n year with out rendering an equivalent to Uncle Sam, and straight away an order was issued ubolishing the office, which, by the way, was created f'U the man now turned out, Mr. W. A. Croffut, a very pleas ant newspaper man with a fad for mesmerism, which he calls hypnotism. Mr. Crof fut's hypnotism worked all right on h Republican Secre tary, but it was a dismal fail tire when applied to a hard shell Democrat like Hoke Smith. Ex-Congressman Brecken ridge, of Ark., no.v minister to Russia, is still in Wash ington, and still very mud. interested in politics. He said in the course of a gener al convf rsation on Southern cs: ' My own Stute has just given an exceptionally henvey Democratic majority. which is u fair indication of what the South mnv be ex pected to do in November. I wish, however, that the ma jority had been a little light er and the platform adopted at the State convention a lit tle better. Too much was conceded the Populists on the financial question. Bet ter to have had a sound monetary plank than to have gained a few thousands puporfluons votes. With the revival of business prosper itv that is now already be gun there cannot be much fear of continued Democrat ic ascendency. 1 feel certain that wo shad control the next House." Of the threat ened secession of the sugar planters from th Democrat ic party, Mr. Breckenridge aid: "It is natural for the Lonisana sugar growers to stand by their cheif product; th have always done so. B'lt I do not see what they have to gain by bolting their party affiliations. It will do them more hurt than it will the Democracy. For every vote lost by such a desert ion six would be gained. On longer reflection, it is doubt ful if they will go over to the political party which they have battled against all their lives. Buckkn's Arnica Sa've.

Editor Ih-mccrat: In looking ovr your pi-p-r of the 30th till., I notic ed tlx", proceeding ot tlu'dem ocratic convention held in Boone on the 27th, and it made my soul feel g'aa to see so mu-h enthusiasm dis- played and such a large turn jother officials of theCombin ojt of democrats of Watau-1 ed Trusts, will hire thm in ga manifesting so mu.'h iri-istcadof theAmericnns. Whv? teres t in the convention, which makes me feel that democracy still lives in Wa tauga. In looking over the names ot those who were nominated by the conven tion, I must say that thepar ty could not have madeabet ter selection for the various officers of the county; in fact they are composed of asgood men a s the county could put out, and the result of that d.iy's work is equivalent to an election. Watauga is a democratic county and will ever remain trie to those principle's, if her sons will only do their du ty and not be misled by the machine now in operation in the State composed of repub licans and populists, who are forming a combination to try and detent the democrat ic, party of the Old N o r t h State. Fellow democrats, j ou must ptnder and look a n d watch, and not be deceived by men under disguise men who have left the party be cause vhey were not nomina ted lor an office and have sold their birth-right for a mess of pottage. Beware ot men who come to you in sheep's clothing, as they have no object in view on'y to mis lead yon in order to get con trol of the county nnd State government. These men w ill make, you believe that, the preseiu administration is re sponsible for the panic we have just passed through. I am sorry that old (5 rover took hold of the reins of gov ernment at the time he did, because tho responsibility is put ttn him and the party, when Harrison, McKinley & Co. should have been chas tised and punished fr the sad deeds committed, a n d not bla me the democratic par ty or the leaders of the party. Panics are sure to befall us and will come. Look back to the year of 1S73, when we had a greater panic than m the years 'Oil and '01, which was more disnsterous to the country N as t he democrat h party responsible? Surely not, as the republican party had full control of the head and branches of the govern ment. Can you blame the democratic party for the pan ic which has been in progress in the Old World for the past twelvemonths and causing 680 strikes in Great Britain and other sections? Our republican and popu list friends say that the dem ocratic party has ruined the country in the way of rree trade or a teduction of the tariff. What has the repub lican party done for the past thirty years to protect the American laborers of whom they speak so much? They have used every means in their power to import all the to day asks them, eo'iuun trash of other sections, suchjc,j Wit 1 the republicans, to ns Swevds, Chinese. Italians, Poles. Turks. Japaiie-u. etc.,-Hon. W. II. Ronerstond firm who have taken the place of to the principles ol the par the American in the different ty? I can safely say that he mamif.itorieH thr ugh out will ver be found at his post our country, a well as in j battling for the tights of his other business, until the V. j parly, and he is in a position S. .-ire stuffed full of them, to do the country a great and Mich men as Carnegie and Because they hire them for half the money. It costs them nothing to live, as they eat nothi::g and pay nothing for rent. But on the other baud. take the American. He has: that pure, five blood fbtwHii; in bis veins, and h wants to live with his wife and ch.il hn with plenty to eat and acorn fortab!" home; yet he repub licans cry "Free trade ruins American labor!" Why did they not think of this many years ago and hollow out 'Free pauper labor oFE.irope injures American labor' Why don't the l.'tO Trusts in the U. S., composed of 14, 500 persons, who own 85 per cent, of the wealth of the II. S , who have mad ? their immense wealth off of thepeo pie through t lie legislation of the republican Congress an J Senate for the past thirty years, help the poor Ameri can laborer they cry so much about, and not employ for eign labor but only Ameri cans and pay them higher wages and give them regular employment. The republican party, combined with the trusts, ate not looking so much after the interest of the American laborer as their own interest, yet they make a great sputter over protec tion. Felbw democrats, do not get discoui aged, but do all you can for the party, and you will never regret it, for it has already saved in the way of tariff to the people over 800,000,000, and had it not been for the four trai tors to the party who were in the Senate or the U. S., it would have been over a bill ion of dollars and this stag nation of business would not have existed. But shall we forsake the democratic par ty with old Grover at the helm, who is for the people and tariff reform, on the grounds that four II. S. Sen ators worked in behalf of the trusts and against the inter est of the whole people? Let us not forsake the parly for the treason of these men, but Ii-t the voters of their respec tive states put other men in their places. Shall we as democrat:) of the 8th Congressional Dist.,' vote against the Hou. W. 11. Bower, who now represents this District and who has been nominated by the par ty and who can defend the in terests of the party in Con gress, and has stood firm to its principles in defending its principles on the tariff by making one of the best spea- ?hes on the subject in the Fif ty-third Congress? 1 say shall we vote for him or R. Z. Lin- ney, who was once a stiong democrat, and 12 months a- go abused the poiMilWts and support him? Has not the deal of good for the next two years, and why should we turn a cold shoulder to him and support one who left the democratic party, and who has united himself with the coalition or republican par ty? If we get relief, it will be through the legislation of the democratic party that ha.nl ways been a r.rty represent ing the wl.n!- people. Now, my fellow democrats ( f Watauga tour.ty, and throughout the State, 11 us commence our warfare, by going to work at once and use every measure to get the party fully organized to meet the enemy, and on the first Tuesday in November vic tory is ours. Let us defeat this machine orcombiuation, and show to tho world that North Carolina is still, and always shall be, a dhmocrat k: State, ihat we have whip- 1 A ped ' he c.nei.'iy una put. tnem to flight. Can we think oi having our County. State, and Congres sional ticket defeated? I, as one, say no. So there is work for us to do t9 accom plish our end, and let us re solve to work early and late and not think weare safe un til the sun sets on the first Tuesday in November. I am pursuaded that under the laws passed by our last Congress that posperity is now on hand, and that in less than twelve months that we will teel its effects and the country will be in a more prosperous condition than it lias been for thirty years. Let. us then, as democrats, make for our county ticket; Hon. W. H. Bower, Hon. W. B. Councill and our Supreme Court Judges and elect a democratic Legislature that we may send two United St !tes Senators who can rep resent North Carolina in the next Senate, and we will fell proud of the result. A Democrat. Pops Expose Their Lack Of Principle. At the Republican State Convention, the platform contained those words. " We reaffirm our allegiance to the National Republican party and renew our pledges to the people as set forth ny the party." That is to say the Repub licans declared in favor of: A Pro?r"t.ive Tariff. A Force bdi. Bounties. And not only so, they en dorsed the legislation of their partv since 1860, and ''point ed with pride" to the posper ity that had followed the leg islation o f the Republican pnrty. The Populists denounce all these things and charge that the Republicans have ruined the country. And yet,, they "co-operate" with tlie men they say have ruined the country to get a few oU'Mes. Honest mfii can have nothing but contempt, for men whoso actions thus belie their words. Sens ami ObiVivci. f
