CONVINCING ARGUMENT. (Continued From First Page l "Washington, and their party refuse.: to its great war idol, Gen. Grant. Profile Applaud Democratic .Uovcmvuta Adopted. Why is Roosevelt popular? Almost entirely because he has thrown over board a lot of Republican principles, and adopted a lot of Democratic principles. Because on the railroad, the trust and the arbitration ques tions he has got at least one foot on the Democratic platform. No Re publican platform has declared for anv of the things he has done. With respect to these every one of them has been demanded in re cent Democratic national platforms, lie got his mandate for settlement of quarrels between capital and la bor by arbitration from th Chicago platform aul the pl.mk wis written by the great chief taiu of Denuc racy, W. J. Bryan. He got only half way on our platform as to railroad rate legislation. We de maiided that the railroads b put in the hands of the Iutercommerce Commission with full power to act &u& bind. Roosevelt aud his party said it was all right to put the rail roads in the hauds of the Commis sion, but that the Commission mint he put in the hands of the Federal Courts, and they amended our plat :form and put it there. We hear a great deal of talk about what is the chief issue between tht parties. I am not engaged in fixiug paramount issues the people make the issues, not the politicians. There ae times when the people seem to go out of politics and leave the politicians to have their own way and let things drift, bnt when they make up their minds to take a hand thev push the politicians aside and take things in their own hands. During the last eight or nine years on account of the great crops anu the discoveries of gold in Alaska and the Klondike, th people have been so prosperous that they have given little attention to politics and let the politicians have their way. During this time the country has been honey-ccinbed with private monopolies". At last the people have waked up and have begun to take an inventory of what has been go jug on. They have waked up to the Tnrtir LrglBlntlon nil lmponltloil. fact that the Republican paity has put upon them tariff grossly in ex cess of what is needed for revenue or for protection. They have waked up to the fact that through the tar iff, trusts aud monopolies have mul tiplied until they control three fourths of the entire industrial out put of the country. They have waked i to the facr that these tariff created monopolies, while they have actually reduced the price of their products to the foreigner, have increased their price forty-seven per cent to the home eonsumei . They have waked up to the fact that these jrwif cninliinatioDS. have. through th,.

The Democratic party i not in favor of free trade.

ItcvUiou ofTnrlflr Necessary. j Republican orators tell us that pro tection is a great thing, that it has 'made New Euglan.J rich Hiid on ac 1 count of our raw material aud grotf ' ing inanufxcturing interests it will make the South rich. If the protective tariff has made New England rich, it has made it lich at the expetse of the South and the West, upon which their trust protected indnst.ies have lev ied and collected for private uses ten times as much tixes as the Government has levied and collect eU for public uses. I deny that pro tection makes a people rich. It has indeed made the trusts and monopo lies which it has created rich beyond the dreams of avarice, but the trust billions mean not more but lees prosperity for the millions. If Republican protection could make a people rich and prosperous, we have but few things iu North Carolina that are benefitted, or could be benefitted by protection. We make some wool in North Carolina, and wool is highly pro tected by the tariff. I had occasion a few days ago to investigate it aud I found that we consumed in JNortu Carolina about tweutv four times as much wool as we make. So that for every dollar we make by the tariff, on" wool grown in North Car olina, we pay twenty-four dollars for the wool and woolen goods that we buy from the outside. We produce some iron ore in North Carolina and iron is highly protect ed by the tariff, but we buy in household cutlery, in farmi1 g im plements, in the machinery iu our mills aud factories, in "iron for bridges and railroads probably sev eral hundred times more iron than we make. So that for every dollar we receive from the tariff in this way, we spend several hundred on account of the tariff in the purchase of products on iron. We make some coal iu North Car olina. Coal is also highly proteced by the tariff, but we buy and cou sume in North Carolina several hundred times more coal than we make, so that for efery dollar we make by the tariff on our coal, we pay out through the tariff on coal we buy several hundred dollars. Lumber is protected by a duty of two dollars, but ou acconut of the great demand for lumber, and the scarcity of lumber, two dollais a thousand is no protection against foreign competition as is shown by the fact that last year forty-three million dollars worth of lumber was imported into this country against FOUL If You Continually K hawk and Spit and There is a Constant Dripping From the Nose Into the Throat, If You Have Foul, Sickening Breath, That is Catarrh.

The cheap grade of cotton goods which our Southern mill make is protected by the Republican tariff, as it was by the Democratic tariff, but the fact that our Southern Cot ton Mills sold thirty millions of dollars worth of theii products in Chiua lastyearin competition with the European manufacturers at prices so satisfactory they are anx ious to enlarge that trade, shows that they need but little if any pro tection against their English, French or German competitors. More than that the high prices which they are compelled, by reason of tariff, to pay for their machinery, etc. does, prob ably more thau balance any possible benefit to them of the duty on cot ton goods. Surely they do not need greater protection thau forty-three per cent provided iu the Wilson Democratic Tariff Bill. What else have we in North Caro lina that is protected? Why there is nnca and bull calves and their hides. From the way Republican orators in this State have been in the habit of enlarging upou the benefits of protection on mica, I once thought we must produce mil lions of it. Some time ago I made au investigation aud to my astonish ment I found that in 1901 we pro duced only $101,000 worth of mica. I do not think we are producing much more now. And now Secretary of the Treasury Shaw tells us that the hides of our bull calves are ouly half protected by the Republican tariff. They are piotected when the New England shoe trust wauts them to make high priced shoes for their American cus tomers, but they are not protected when the New England shoe trust wauts hides to make cheap shoes for ! their foreign customers. This is a j fair sample of the way in which the i tariff favors the trusts as against the j farmer and the stockraiser. If ' the farmer happens to be given a ' little protection under it, it is taken away from him if his interests hap I pen to clash with that of the trusts.
