'' Cfcalmao Siannoaa' Letter. .
Morning Post, Oct. 9. : ' ;
. The let ter from Rut herford
county published in The Post
of yesterday morning men
tioned the rejection by a reg-i
istrar of a negro who, though
he could rtad and write well,
misspelled a word.. This en or
on the part of the registrar
was so obviously coufriry
to the letter and spirit of the
law that Chairman Simmons
wrote a , letter, cajling atten
tion thereto and giving what
may be termed an interpret
ation of the law for the ben
eflt of all registrars. ' Errors
equally as glaring os that
reported trotn Rutherford are
stated to have been made in
other counties.
.There i no need whatever,
fiom any standpoint, of giv
ing to the law a sirained
construction. Nor is there,
from any point of view, any
occasion for its arbitrary en
forcement to the extent of
doubt ful construction. If tbe
applicant "can read and
write" in a mannr equal to
the ability in that respect of
the ordinary citizen, be is
eligible within the meaning
of the amendment.
This amendment was pro
posed, framed and adopted
by the ; white Democratic
voters, of the State, even
against the organized oppo
sition of the Republican par
ty. This qualification is de
manded by theDublicwelfarei
but the possession of it en
titles the person t the privi
lege of voting, according to
this De.m05rai.ie law und Dem
ocratikpromise. it should
be executed in good taith,
not only because it is law
and involves a .Democratic
pledge, but -and this is of
vital importance upon its
just execution depends the
validity and permaneney of
the constitutional amend
ment itself us a whole.
Chairman Simmons, in his
letter, shows bib 'full regard
for law and for Democratic
integrity, both of which are
involved in and both of
which demand faithful and
intelligent execution of this
amendment.' Every registrar
in the S ate is requested to
rend Mr. Simmons' letter and
be governed accordingly.
A Typical Sot'th African

from the nearest town. Mr.
Larson snjs : "I am favored

miles, to many of whom 1
have supplied Chamberlain's

of the President's Western
speeches:
"In disKUssing theeffects of

th? President bejiwevery qtien
ti(n at issue. He assumeH
that the industries need ull
their present protection, and
that its redti-tion would
close their works nnd thro?
their hands out of employ
ment. But what we know of
the, costs of production here
and abroad, and what we
see of American manufactur
ers exporting their goods to
every quarter of the globp,
indicates that in many linc
the Unite'! Siatps can ..meet
foreign competition with lit
tle or no .protection. The
effect of. the high duty is to
exclude foreiun competition
with industries that are con
solidating to suppress don
mestic competition, enabling
them to get a highet price at
home than thev are glad to
acceptabroad, Iftheforeign
price affords a profit the
home price is extol tionate;
if the goods are sold abroad
at a loss the foreign trade is
not profitabletothecountry.
If a manufacturer is caught
with a stock of goods on
hand which the h'Miie market
will not absorb he may ver.y
well dispose of his surplus
abroad at any price he can
get. That is not the posi
tion of the manufacturers
who are now soliciting orders

you that their partv pro
poses to control the Trusts
remind them ol the fact that
their party has had absolute
control of the Governmental
machine for six years, nnd
that the only time they have
made, any pretence at con

knew that they couldn't pass
a bill just at the end of a ses
