TOMPWMS .1 ,Vi--. ; f ' MR. BRYAX ON THE TARIFF. J When a member of Congress and v quite ayoung man Mr. Bryan' dellv- ered In the Houk a notable speech f on the tariff. It was the foundation of hi reputation. Ills ntudy of the subject at that time has since stood ' hm In stead nd his' " tariff ' - ' speech at Des Moines Friday stands . a tha most noteworthy utterance of , ' the post-convention period. Cnru- pared with It tha speech of Judge . Taft at Hot Springs, Va.. the aame day wa tame. We do not recall an c . -other sperh of Mr. Bryan's of equal t ability and grasp with this. It evi dences full familiarity with the sub ' t' ' Ject and is great In Ita very slm r plklty. The word are well chosen f and the argument is so clear a to he . within tba reach of th most ordinary understanding It will take rank with . tha great .tariff arguments of our i . times. It Is the Democratic doctrine In Its purity and is calculated to dec , trlfy the party and tho country. The national committee should flood the -ri -4 country wirti it. We wlh It were practicable to put a copy of It In the ' hand of every voter that each might , read and "Jcarn nt the iniquity of a atem which blcd tim tunny not " for public revenue, not for public ' purposes, but for the enrichment of J the' few. CAX K1THKH AJ'rX)HI IT? Th Danville Ilt-glster dor not agree with The Observer that a gen eral shift of the negro vote to Mr. Bryan will work the Democratic party ultimate Injury. In diw.-usslnf the matter, however, our liurivlllr contemporary, eingulitriy vnougb, leave quit" out of account the Issue upon which tho negro vote proposes turning Democratic. I'pon this vital point all who take The llegiHter's view either remain dlxrr-et!y silent or else touch as lightly an pofcelhle. Thej dlacues "Hamlet" with Hamlet left but. Does any on believe that Mbe Democratic party can avoid very aerlous embarrassment for years af terwards If It pursue the course !o frun by Mr. Bryan and his advisers? Doe any one, we ask further, br lleve that the negro, coming over on auch an Iue, could exi?ct really cordial welcome or gain anything to compensate him for the heavy weight of 'resentment w hich he must neces sarily Incur? 'Neither as a member .of tha Democratic party nor as a friend of tha negro race ran we look upoa the proposed bolt with favor. And w trust that The Hearisler, upon fuller consideration, will find Itself : not far from agreement with us In thui matter . . '. Judge Mulqueen, cf ine New Tor k Court of- General Sessions, said oe day last week in sentencing a negro to ten year la Sing fiing for the usual crime: . -"Is the South, lynching would probably He tt peaatty tor your crime, but ta the Nort h.jutuMn httky in ll"lnavJa-4jtom,- -fWoTv wr-r t.e law ail the UitaUcSh- slderad ufflctent.". v -J."j . .

' f ' , . THE CAMPAIGN &MXT. - - Mr. Bryan vie In' implied; praise of Mr. Roosevelt with Mr. . Taff press praise of the etmt srentleman and ' occasionally- ', liecome Texpres Stltnself.; ,.Eah candidate rests his hope of cuce'es Jargelyl upon efforts to", avail himself of Mr. Roosevelt political prestige. ' In r the debatable territory, a -both campaign manage' ment recognize, : the candidate who get himself .considered , the better Roosevelt man, will win the day," Mr, Tat'a acceptance speech la aa nn qualified pledge to carry out the Roosevelt policies If 'elected: fMr. Bryan' acceptance speech la an ar gument thatli and hla party -are better fitted to carry out the Roose velt poHciea than Mr. Taft and .the Republicans. A vote"for either Taft or Bryan will be a vote for Roose velt. The weakness of this situation from Mr. Bryan's standpoint is, ;of course, that Mr. Roosevelt, still alive in the nesh. peraoBallyTupport Mr, Taft, his own choice; but any one who expects activity on hi part i ... . - which invojve aenunciauon oi mr. Bryan will doubtless be disappointed. Marked evidence of sympathy be tween the two men have long been visible, and as the campaign advances one shows no more sign of lessened cordiality than the other.. It thus comes about that Mr. Roosevelt, rec ognized as a saint In the political cal endar, takes rank, for thvpurposes of this campaign's Invocations, far above the ancient worthies like Wash inaton. Jefferson. Jackson and Lin coln. True enough, there are great States where anti-Roosevelt sentiment doubtless predominate and there are millions of antl-Roosevcltlan in .the country at large; but since Mr. Roose velt Is pretty much the whole thing where tho actual fighting ground lie, such dissidents, however numerous, count for little. The honors done him on both sides In consequence oft this situation cannot exactly displease Kt. Theodore. Ha any other American statesman, while yet active in public life, ever been so flattered by the logic of events as he? THE BEAR VICTORY IV COTTON. vJt is known that Jesse C. Liver more, the young plunger who has been cutting a wide swath in the cotton future market of late, lost heavily in the recent nlump. Losses shared betweea him and a few oth ers are placed as high as $900,000, although Llvermore's friends assert that he got oft comparatively light by quietly selling at Mew Orleans and Liverpool while his front remained yet unbroken. The astute Theodore If. Trice, in the Ilvermore clique. for a whll". had slid out earlier and turned bear. As all the clique s prin cipal members had raked in large winnings not loiur before, it Is im probable that any of them will be disastrously affected. '1 ney simpiy stayed In this latest game a inn mo long and could not get out without leaving some prejlou gains behind. The. attempt to , corner Jhe market waa not carried Very far -no lengths at all. lo "comparison . with flully' memorable .campaign and ranking de cidedly behind one or mora of Trice's bull performances; With crop esti mates constantly reaching nearer the record flgore of fourteen million bales and demand everywhere slack, no loosely formed pool like that behind Livermore could, possibly hold to gether long.i What will follow upon th" bear victory remain be seen. From a Southern standpoint there are two consoling reflecllrtna.

HAVE CONVICTS NO RIGHTS? The following paragraph from The High Point Enterprise was printed on tho fourth page of Friday' Observer: ...r. . .fi.mMin In AUBUst at the hour of 8 o'clock, a road overseer shipped ii white convict so unmercifully that he "eirEi hi.

There are many people who know the circumstances of that homicide that would like to see it looked Into a. llttlo nrther. The convict was a negro, nut we lain to be a Christian people.

Strasburg, Va., August 17th, ,yL '", To thl our Charleston eontempO' rary make reply: ' "The Hong Kong Gander ha passed but of the posseasloa of The News and Cou rier. It was fairly wen in th most re markable contaat ever known In thnt pert by the Hon. Philip H. Gadsdenv th neaa or n . uonsoiiaatad Railway, aas and Electrlo Company, o thl city. It wium-vv-m in way or tickets, or chance, and it ha yilnc cost him sosne- ining nun to a weea cor maintenance. Du ne Is dally growing fonder of his pet, and w tnina be : would reoulra relerenees rrom tna Bryan and Kern Club, of Btras burg, before consenting - to give up his prise to that organisation. But Mr. flada- den is a Bryan lemocrat, 'all wool and a yard , wide,' and he would make almost any reasonable sacrifice for th success or ine cause. Th Htrashurg request ha been referred.to him -for euchr -action -u he may deem proper and patriotic. W hope hereafter all requeats! for informa tion about the Hong Kong Gander will be made directly to th present owner of uiai oira. we are getting tired of It." We are satisfied that Mr. Gadsden will do what i right in the premise and are encouraged to hope that we are about to wltne the beginning of the whirlwind campaign; It 1 certain that the Gander can raise more money In Virginia than It waa able to get from the. tight wads of South Caro lina. From Virginia, to Maryland is but a step and CoL 8. 8. Field, of Baltimore, want It to assist him In his rather laborious campaign activi ties. If Colonel dadsden will but be kind to the overture of Mr. Roger, Com., it will be found that the Gan der's career of usefulness, has just begun. The Jeffersonian, of Cambridge, O., had this local story In Its issue of the 13th: "Alter searching the house and sur- rounding grounds carefully and following tha sup; posed trail of robbers, suspected of entering the home of Postmaster J. P, Stranathan la Pleasant City, with the Ol lver blood hounds, th money supposed to nave been taken, was found late Thursday afternoon by a daughter of the Dostmaa tar, wno naa gone to a clothes ureas in her father's bed room for a dress. The box with the $27 undisturbed, was found by Mis Stranathan on one of the shelves In the press and returned to the noat matter. The trail followed by th nounna evidently had no connection with the missing money." Same old story. It would be funny except that one day some of. these humbugs are going to run an inno cent man up a tree and get him lynched. ' Senator LaFollette, 1 is announced, will eoon establish a personal organ in tho form of a weekly caber. Colonel Bryan, Mr. Thomas -E Watson, ex-Governor Vardaman nd Socialist Candidate Eugene T. Debs already have similar putdlrations. Personal 'organs of j.hls sort, coetinflf very mile to produce, re. usually extiellent money-makers and render tJhelr proprietors)' polfti- oal fortunes valuable aervlco beelde. Nearly all the conspicuous figures' in public Hf will doubtless have them after a while. It seems to The Charleston News and Courier "that the mollycoddllah little lad of this generation do not tub their toe with the vim and line regard lesanes that they used to stub them with before the war." The same thought ha occurred to us. We never hear of the rising generation knock ing off any toe nails. K ROWAN- MAN MURDERED.

"While the ambassador waa en route northward the bandit contin ued their operations with -renewed activity and aggressiveness. Several widely separated towns and cities were taken. The Mexican govern ment began to make acknowledge ment that there existed a real cauBe for atrxlety. "Correspondent Lamb evidently has friends all. along the border, for. they used even Americn railroad wire to send him information. Through the Amrricsn malls he received circulars Issued by revolutionists at 'different points. '? "Two revolutionary editors in El Paso, Lauro Aguirra, of Ia Reform Social, and J. O.

R.,". Greensboro, which no doubt attracted the attention of the travel Ing men as well as the manufacturers and Jobbers. The writer takes the view that If the products of the mill ana factories were sold direct and the "drnmnjer" eliminated,' the marchant would Vprocure his merchandise at a 4ower"price and the saving to North Carolina merchants would possibly be over two millions or dollars annually. The' average merchant in this State buys about IIM00 annually and If be was forced to buy-Ws goods without the aid of the traveling man It would be necessary for him to either keep A buyer or he himself leave his business several months -of the year,' going from mill to mill and front factory to factory making purchases, waion would entail a cost of at least 10 per cent of the volume of good purchas ed, and' In , addition -to the cost he would 'suffer In a, large measure by reason of the fact that. he would not have1 lines to compare ' and after all he would perhaps pay higher prices for merchandise than he Is now doing fn a market of competition where all line come Into competition and ha Is abie,to compare , one mm s products with, the other, . . . , , If it coat 10 per cent, to make his Individual purchases In time and traveling Expenses going around from town to town ana at- to city, the ag gregate amount Of expense tn this di rection, to the merchants of our Stat would be double, the present cost of sellinr through the traveling man. The merchant participation in the selling expense of ; th product of the mills now is on a collective btslu. whereas If he made his own purchases and the traveling man was eliminated, the cost would be n the individual basis and would bo a much greater burden In point of . cost. On this theory a fire Insurance company can write Insurance and take a risk at a lower basis of cost by figuring on a collective basis than it Is possible for the Individual to carry his qwn In surance. Such a change ar advocated by this writer would throw out of employ ment In this country over on mil lion men, would paralyze the passen ger irame oi tne raiiroaaa, ana would practically annihilate the hotel busi ness of the country, besides would forever kill the specialty business. such as cash register business, type writers, musical Instruments, office specialties, etc., for these things can only b marketed and Introduced by the traveling man. " i ; Such a theory is -'childlike, It Is Im possible, it is retjagresslon. If the merchants in North Carolina would buy three times what they bought re quiring three tlms the salesmen on the road, we would nave a state un equaled In the Union. - R. T. A8HCRAFT.
