The property consists of Six Thousand Three Hundred Acres of land, located In the counties of Gaston and Cleaveland, In the Slate of North Car olina, at King's Mountain Depot, on the Atlanta and Charlotte Air Line railway, now owned by the Richmond anC Danville railroad company. . The property has been used for fifty years past as an Iron property, and has oeen worked at various ?Mnts, but chiefly at the site of the celebrated ellow Ridge Ore Bank, which has always yielded an ore noted for Its richness In metallic Iron, and Its softness and toughness. This vein of ore, which extends for two miles In length, has been worked to the depth of 147 feet, showing at that depth a vein of ore about 40 feet wide, and analyz ing as high as-66 per cent, of metallic Iron. This vein has not been worked for twenty years, but the facts set forth can be fully shown. Various other veins have been worked, and within the past two years very large deposits of iron ore have been dis covered at other points. Within the past eighteen months, however, the owners have discovered de posits of ore In Crowder's Mountain, (five veins of iron ore, are exposed), which were unknown be fore, and which will furnish an amount of good ore, easily, worked and above water, that must make It one of the most desirable Iron properties" to be found." They have discovered on the pinnacle of this mountain, which is 1000 feet above the level land, 2200 feet above the sea level, a vein of ore eight feet wide, which crops out at various points from the top to the bottom of the mountain, show ing in one place about 20 feet -of solid vein. 'This vein can be traced over the top ot the mountain for over a mile, and this deposit alone would afford an almost Inexhaustible supply of ore, easily worked, and above the water line. In addition to this four other vein have been found on this mountain. The ore is a mottled gray ore, showing on analysis from 49 to 65 per-cent, of metallic Iron, with a small amount of titanic acid, and without any sul phur or phosphorus. . The quantity of ere In this mountain la . simply Inexhaustible and of' good Quality, Beside Crowder's Mountain the owners possess King's Mountain, for about seven miles, whose pinnacle is the highest point of land from Rich mond to Atlanta, except Mt.' Airy, In Georgia, and they have reason to believe this mountain la full of ore also. In addition to Iron ore the property has manganese, limestone clay for making lire-proof brick, gold and other minerals. Very pure and ex cellent barytese has just been found in large quan tity, f : . - , - . . , . ., '-- As a stock and dairy farm It offers fine opportu nities to those who may wish to engage In such bus iness.

The climate Is so mild that but little shel ter for stock Is needed In the coldest winters. The whole six thousand acres are now covered with a fine growth of timber of all kinds, such as pine. hickory, oak. walnut, cedar, etc The land Is well suited to farming purposes, by those who wish to coionize. cotton, corn, peas, oats, ciover ana grass, and fruits of all kinds are produced beautifully nd it Is specially suited to grapes and small fruits.

He Takes Up the Tariff and Harps- on i&Awhile, Touches on Other Matters and Then Takes a Tarn at . Fl uttering the Bloody Shirt. Washington, D. C, July 19, 1884.' ; Dear Sib: Having received from you on the 24th of June the . official notification of .my nomination by the National Republican Convention as the Republican candidate for Vice President of the United States, and considering it to be the duty of every man devoting himself to the public service to assume any position to which he may be called by the voice of his countrymen, I accept the nom ination with a grateful heart and a deep sense of its responsibilities ; and if elected shall endeavor to discharge the duties of the office to the best of my ability. . - -; ' - This honor, as is ; well understood, was wholly unsought by me. That it was tendered by the representa tives of the party, in a manner so flattering,, will serve to lighten what ever labors I may be called upon, to perform. Although the variety of subjects covered in the very excellent and vigorous declaration ! of principles adopted by the late convention pro hibits, upon an occasion . calling for brevity of expression, that full elabo ration of which they are susceptible, I avail myself of paity usages to signify my approval of the various resolutions of the platform, and to discuss them briefly. PROTECTION TO AMERICAN LABOR. The resolutions of the platform declaring for a levy of such duties "as to afford security to our de versi fied industries, and protection to the rights and wages of the laborer, to the end that active and intelligent labor, as well as capital, may have its just reward, and the laboring man his full share in the national prosperi ty " meets my hearty approval. : xt tnere oe a nation on tne iace ot the earth which might, if it were a desirable thing. . build a wall upon its every boundary line, deny com munion to all the world, ana proceed to live upon, its own resources ana roductions, that nation is tne united tates. There is hardly a legitimate necessity of civilized communities which cannot be produced from the extraordinary resources of our ceveral States and Territories, with their manufactories, mines, farms, timber lands, and water ways. This circum-. stance, taken in connection with the fact that our form of government is entirely unique among the nations of the world, mace it utterly aDsura to institute comparisons between our own economic system and those of other governments, and especially to attempt to borrow systems from them. We stand alone m our circumstances. our forces, our possibilities, and our aspirations. In all successful government it is a prime requisite that capital and labor should be upon the best terms, and that both should enjoy the nignest attainable prosperity. If there be a disturbance of the just balance ber tween them, one of the other suffers, and dissatisfaction, follows, which is harmful to both. ! The lessons furnished by the com paratively short history of our own national lite nave oeen too mucn overlooked by our people The fun? damental article-in the old Demof cratic creed proclaimed almost abso lute free trade, and this, too, no more than a quarter of a century ago.. The low condition of our national credit the financial and business uncertain ties and general lack of prosperity under that system, can .be remember ed by every man in middle life. ! v Although in-the : great .' number, of reforms instituted "by the Republican party sufficient credit has not- oeen publicly awarded to that of tariff reform, its benenta nave, nevertne-t less, been- felt throughout - the land. The principie underlying this measure has been in process of gradual develj opment by the Republican party during the. :: comparatively brief period of its - power, and today a, portion of its antiquated Democratic opponents make.un willing concession to the correctness of the doctrine of an equitaDiy .adjusted protective . tariff, by following slowly in its footsteps, though a very long way inj the rear; :" - v ' .!r,'.,','',.,l The principle involved is o'n'e pf.o great obscurity, and can readily , be1 Comprehended by ! any' intelligent person, ealmly reflecting upon itvThd political and social systems of some of our trade competing nations have created working classes miserable in the extreme.' Tuey receive the.mere.stt stipend.'for. their daily. toiM and ', the great expense of the necessities f life, are deprived of' those comforts of clothing, housing and health. pro-;' ducing food which with wholsespme mental and social : recreation can alone make existence .happy and desirable. ..'' jI . ". j QNow, if the products of those coun-f tries are to be-placed in our markets,! alongside .ttf i American products,! either the American capitalist must; suffer in-his legitimate profits, ' 0; hei must make the "American? laborer1, suffeiyinthe attempt to compete with the species of labor above referred to. In the case of a substantial reduction of pay,-there can be no compensating advantages for the American laborer ,i because the articles ! of i daily -j .con-5 sumption w hiclv ' he',. Jises- with, thes exception of articles; not produced in t,h United States: and easv of beiner provided, for, as coffee' and ,' teaare grown in our uwu uuuntry, uuu would not be affected in " pi ice by a lowing in duties. Therefore, - while! he would receive less for his labor, his; cost of living would not be decreased.; Being practically placed upon the pay of the European : laborer, " our own would be deprived of facilities for educating: and sustaining his1' -family. respectably : he would be shora of i the proper opporfcimities of J self jjm-i provement, and his value as a citizen, charged with a portion of the obliga tions of government, would be lesson ed; the moral tone of the laboring class would suffer, and in turn the interests of capital, and the well being of orderly citizens in general, would be menaced, while one - evil would react upon another until there would be a general disturbance of the whole community. The true problem of a good and stable government is how to infuse prosperity among all classes of people the manufacturer, the farmer, the mechanic, and the laborer alike. Such prosperity is a preventive of crime, a" security of capital, and the very best guarantee of peace and happiness. . The obvious policy of our govern ment is to protect both capital and labor by a proper imposition of duties. This protection should extend to every article of American production which goes to build up the general prosperi ty of our people. The National Con vention, in view of the special dan gers menacing the wool interests of the United States, deemed it wise to adopt a separate , resolution on the subject of its proper protection. This industry is a very large and import ant one. . The necessary - legislation to sustain this industry upon a pros perous basis should be extended. c No one realizes more fully . than myself the great delicacy and ' diffi culty of adjusting a tariff so nicely and equitably as to protect every home industry, sustain every class of American labor, promote to the high est point our great agricultural inter ests, and at the same time to give to one and all the advantages pertaining to foreign productions not m compe -tition with our own, " thus not only building, up our foreign: commerce, but taking measures to . carry it in our own bottoms. " , ' Difficult as this work appears, and really is, it is susceptible of accom- Elishment by patient and intelligent ibor, and to . no" hands can it be committed with as great assurance' of success as to those of the Republi can party. OUR MONET ART SYSTEM- ' The Republican party is the indis putable author of the financial and monetary system1 which it is safe to say has never before been equaled by that of any other nation. Under the operation of our. system of finance the country was safely carried through an extended and expensive war, with a national credit which has risen higher and higher with each succeeding year, until now the credit of the United States is surpassed by that of no other nation, while its securities, at a constantly increasing premium, are eagerly sought after by investors in all parts of the world. Our system of currency is most admirable in. construction. While all the conveniences of a bill circula tion attach to it, every dollar of paper represents a dollar - of the world's money standards, and as long as the just and wise policy of the Republi can party is continued, there can be no impairment of the national credit. Therefore, under the present laws relating thereto, it will be impossible for any man to lose a' penny in the bonds or bills of the United States or in the bills of the National Banks. : The advantage of having' a bank note in the house which will be as as 'good in the morning as it was the night before, should be appreciated by all. ' The convertibility of the currency , should be maintained intact,", and the establishment- of- an ' international standard among all commercial na tions, fixing the relative values of gold and silver coinage, would be a measure of peculiar advantage. INTER-STATE, FOREIGN COMMERCE AND FOREIGN RELATIONS.. The subjects embraced in the resor lutions respectively looking to . the promotion ot our inter state . and foreign commerce and to the matter of our foreign relations are fraught with the greatest importance to our people. ' - - ' ? , ! In respect to inter-State commerce! there is much to be- desired in the way of equitable rates and: facilities of transportation, ;that -. commerce may flow, freely between the States themselves, diversity " of industries and employments be. promoted in all sections of our country; and'that the great granaries and. manufacturing establishments of the interior, may be enabled to send their products to the seaboard for shipment to foreign countries, relieved: of vexatious re strictions and discriminations in mat ters of which it may emphatically be said, "time is money,' and also of unjust charges upon articles destined to meet the close competition from the products or other parts or tne world. -" s As to our foreign commerce, -the enormous growth of our; industries and our surprising production of our cereals and other necessaries ' of life, imperatively require that immej uiaku turn viixsviiivv uieaiia ud uaiv.cu through peaceful,' orderly' and con seryative methods to - open mark.etsi which have been and are now , inof nopolized largely by other nations This more particularly relates to our sister republics of "Spanish Americaj sa also to our friends the. people of the .Brazilian .umpire. - ' i The republics of Spanish ; America! are allied to us by the very closest and warmest feelings, " based, upon- similarity of institutions and govern-j ment,. common aspirations anu uiu-j tual hopes. rThe- "Great i. Republic,1! as they pf oudly I Jernl the - United! StatesTis looked tfpon lay their people with affectionate admiration and as. the model for them- to - build : upon,, and : we -should1 cultivate between! them and ourselves closer commer-j cial relations, which will bind alii together by the ties of friendly inter-i course and mutual advantage. ' JJ ur ther than this,'being small common-j wealths, in the-, military, and naval sense of the European powers, they look to us,at least,as a moral defender against system-' of : territorial-' and; Other encroachments which, aggrjes-j give iii the past,' has not ' been '. aban-: dohed at this day; n Diplomacy and; intrigue have done much ? more 'to! wrest s the ' commerce of Spanish: America from the United Stales than: has.egitimate commercial, competi-' . Politically jfte should be abound 4 toj the republics ot our continent Dy tne; closest ties. :and communication by ships-and railroads should be encour-j aged to the iullest possibles extent consistent with a wise and conserva-i tive public policy Above all, we should be upon such terms of friend ship as to preclude, the possibility of national misunderstandings between ourselves and any of the" members of American, RepubUcah,' family . - The best method to promote uninterrupt ed peace between one- and all would lie in the general conference or con-. gress.: whereby an agreement to suo mit all international differences to the peaceful decision of friendly arbitra tion might be reached.- . An agreement of this kind would give to our sister republics confidence IT. AM.lm x I r . 1 . . ii uu uium uuu in us, viu&er - com munication ' would at once ensue, reciDrocallv advantae-finiis o.nmmpr- cial treaties might be made, whereby uiuuu uc me commerce wmcn now flows across the Atlantic would seek its legitimate channels, and inure to the great prosperity of all the Amer ican commonwealths. The full ad vantages of a policy of this nature could not be stated in a brief discus sion like the present. FOREIGN POLITICAL RELATIONS. '' The United States has grown to be a govern ment representing more than fifty million people, and in every sense, excepting that of. mere naval power, is. one of the first nations of the world. As such, its citizenshin should be valuable, entitling its pos sessor to protection in every quarter of the globe. I do not consider it necessary that our government should construct enormous fleets of improv ed ironclads and maintain a commen surate body of seamen in order to place ourselves on a war footing with the military and naval Dowers of Europe. ; Such a course would not be compatible with the peaceful poli cy of our country, though , it seems absuid that we have not the effective means to repel a wanton invasion of our coast and give protection . to our coast towns and cities against any power, The great moral force of our country is so universally recognized as to render an appeal to arms by us, either in protection of our citizens abroad or in recognition of. any just international right, quite improbable. What we most need in this direction is a firm and vigorous assertion of every right and privilege belonging to our government or its citizens, as well as an equally firm assertion of the rights and privileges ' belonging to the general family of American republics situated upon this continent when opposed, if ever thev should be, by the different systems of gov -ernment upon another continent. . . An appeal to the right by such a fovernment as ours could . not : be isregarded by any civilized nation. In the treaty of Washington we led the world to , the means of escape from the horrors of war, and it is to be hoped that the era when all inter national differences shall be decided by peaceful arbitration is not far off. " EQUAL RIGHTS OF CITIZENSHIP. The central rights of a Republican form of government is . the rule of , the whole people as opposed to the other forms which rest upon a privileged class. Our forefathers, in the attempt to erect a new government which might represent the advanced thought of the world at that period upon the subject ' of governmental reform, adopted the idea of the people's sov ereignty, and thus laid the basis of our present. -.- While technically a Government of the people, excluding from all participation a certain other ortion, held in a condition of abso ute, despotic, and hopeless servitude, the parallel to which, fortunately, does not now exist m any modern Christian nation. With the culmination, however, of another cycle of advanced thought, the American Republic suddenly as -sumed the full character of a Gov ernment of the whole people, and tour million Human creatures emerg ed from the condition of bondsmen to the full status of freemen, theo retically invested with the same civil and political rights possessed by their former masters. The subsequent legislation which guaranteed, by every legal title the citizenship and run equality before tne Jaw m ail respects of this previously disfran chised people, amply, covers ?the re quirements and secures to them, so far as legislation can, the privileges of American citizenship. But the disagreeable fact ot the case is, that while, theoretically, we are in the enjoyment of a Government of the whole people, practically we are al most as far from it as we were in. the ante helium days of the Republic. There are but few leading and indis putable facts which cover the whole statement of the 'Case. In many of the Southern States the colored popu lation is in large excess of the white.
