he The Only A vena of Escape. Behold the . happy laborer as rises in the morning and puts on his flannel shut, taxed 05 per cent J is perchance cool, and he puts on coat taxed 57 per cent He can not co without shoes, taxed So percent and the hat he puts on is taxed 05 per cent, and washes his face and hands in a tin bowl taxed 35 per cent, drying them on a cheap towel taxed 45 per cent But still more happiness is in store, lie sits down to breakfast and eats from a plate taxed 50 percent with a knife and fork taxed 85 per cent The sugar he puts into coffee is taxed 82 per cent, and he seasons his food with salt taxed 40 per cent He looks fondly at his happy wife and chil dren who share with him his protee tion, and then goes out and fills his pipe with tobacco taxed 182 percent or perhaps lights a protected cigar 118 per cent and proceeds to his hiehlv-proteeted labor. The day's work being done he reads a chapter from the family Bible, taxed 25 per cent, and kneels to pray oa an bumble carpet taxed 51 per cent At last he lies down and wraps his weary limbs in a sheet taxed 42 per cent and sinks into the arms of Morpheus under a blanket that is taxed 104 percent The Democratic party is the only avenue of escape from this unjust system of taxation, which menaces the prosperity of our country and homes. Tbe Transformation. No more impressive evidence of the transformation of parties now in progress could be furnished than is afforded by the comments upon the Republican platform in the Christian Union, of New York, and the AJ- Tance and Standard of Chicago three of the most prominent and in fluential among the religions news papers of the country. The Chris tian Union, although undenomina tional, is edited by Congregation alista, while the Advance is the chief Western organ of the Congregation- alLU, and the Standard the chief Western organ of the Baptists. All three papers are edited by men of Republican antecedents, and would naturally side with a "party of noral ideas," bat all three find it impossi ble to support the Republican plat form of extravagance and free whis key. The Standard, expressing, as it believes, "the general sentiment of Christian people, heartily tired of whiskey rule," endorses the opinion of the Chicago Tribune that the f ree-whl-key plank will lose the Repub lican "hundreds of thousands of tot. A Knock Down Argument We want to say this to our Dem ocratic readers. When a Republi can at tempts to defeat you in a tariff argument with the silly pau per labor" cant of his party, and by pointing yoe in that connection to the awful example 'of "free trade England," he has placed himself completely at jour mercy. All yon will then have to do to entitle you fairly to his scalp, is; simply to cite him in tarn to Tisirr iibdm On ma xt, where the wages ol labor are mmr-nErcs rut cext. town thas ii ms team Esolaxd, and ltd pauperized labor is not abase-1-h and senseless allegation paraded for political effect, but a solemn practical fact The Republican wbote English fre trade howl can not be silenced by this conclusive compamon, is one of the refractory sort of fellows who are certain to be v! the same opinion still," under any pWiole combination of adverse circumstances. Mm hkhTA.lt KstLLBY, of Dallas, Oregon, is a slim young lady with a Grecian profile and hair like a vexed maw of golden feathers. Mi Kel ley is alo noted for her bravery and coolnex, of which we have a recent illustration. While returning from a viit to a neighbor he saw a savage coyote following a lot of hogs be longing to her father, and evidently intent on having a mess of pork. She tried to wl her dog on him, but the dog fled affrighted away. Then the lady's blood rose to fever heat, and jumping from her pony she picked up a rock, and following the coyote, struck him on the head and killed him. There is poetic' food here for some gallant versifier. Thx House on Saturday passed a bill appropriating $85,000 for a pub lic building in Charlotte. This is Col. Rowland's work. We rejoice with progressive Charlotte over the prospect of her public building. The Durham bill we suppose has been placed in a pigeon hole. EDITORIAL llUitUYGlt API1S, Asheville's jollification was a huge thing. Ten thousand people were present It is said that the Demo cracy of Buncombe and the west are not only united, but enthused in earnest The unhappy gentleman from Ohio who moved, Monday, to strike wool from the free list, was crushed under a vote of 122 to 93. When the tariff reform ram goes a butting, he goes a butting. In the vast wilderness of high tariff advocates there is one Lodge, he of Massachusetts. He moved to im pose a duty of ten and fifteen cents on mats. The tariff reform Repre sentatives immediately stepped on him 95 to 86. "A love of a bonnet" is a phrase that we often see quoted, and people think it means simply a pretty bonnet, but it means more. "A love of a bonnet" is when a woman loves it ao much that she will get her ten-dol!ars-a week husband to pay twenty-five dol lars for It A Missouri farmer who sent for a advertised twenty-five-cent potato bug killer received two little wooden mallets, with instructions to catch the bug and smash him with the mallet, and if he did not kill the bug on the first attempt to try, try again. Moral. Beware of advertised catch-penny affairs. The campaign liar baa come to the trontto say that 75,000 Cleveland campaign buttons have just been manufactured in England and Im ported into this country to decorate Cleveland clubs, and the campaign fool will probably believe the story . Of coarse, people of common sense will know better. The coroner's jury, in the Norfolk St Western Railroad collision, have rendered a verdict in which they hold the management of that road re sponsible for the result of that dis aster. Complicated orders caused the wrtck. Railroad tragedies have been quite frequent of late and the reeponsibiltity should be placed where it properly belongs. It strikes si that it la about time for country poets to stop sending to the press doggerel on the "old ban danna.' If there is anything in the world that can turn the hearts of the American people, it is to be oo na pe lied to see this sort of trash in every newspaper, we tnrow them into the waste bisket and we feel we have done the public a real favor. Its funoy how cautions an editor becomes. Every time we commence reading an article that commences about "his condition," we invariably look at the bottom to see if there U a string of doctor's names attached to it, and if we don't find then and thus know that it is not something about Gen Sheridan or Mr. Randall, we took direct! ia the middle of it to tee if it isn't something about Podgett's Pills, or some other patent medicine. If people would speak more kind nets and repress less there ' would be more gladness in this world. Every heart has kindness in It; bat every heart does not f peak. It sesm natur al to unearth all that is nnkiod and to repress all that is noble and kind. Thereat goodness of heart goes to the grave. All that could make sun shine for ourself and friends too often goes to aities with our bones. Verily, tbe human heart does not speak half the kindness that God has given it, and until it has is Ilia eyes we are ungodly and have not fulfilled oar promise. Give loose rein to the heart then Us promptings are put e and noble, and only check it when its promptings are Ignoble and void of goodness. A UCK- AT UOCKEKY. , THE REPUBLICAN PARTY 8 FORMlB i FKOQIBITION ATTITUDE. ' - Soirftbf the A.. Tea, let it be remembered that in 18ot, when the churches and the preachers and the good women of North Carolina were doing all in their power to carry Prohibition, the uepuDiican btate exeoutive commit tee held a meeting here in the city of Raleigh and decided and resolved to oppose Prohibition, and to throw the vote of the Republican party of toe Mate against it And let it be remembered that Col, Oliver H. Dockery, as soon as the campaign of that year opened, took the field against Prohibition and did all he could to defeat the Preach ers, the churches and the prayers of me women , ana mat me defeat or Prohibition that year, was mainlv due to the action of the Republican party, with Colonel Dockery as one of its leaders. ,.".. And let it be remembered that in 1882. when a Congretisnian for the State abdarge, was to be chosen, the li quor dealers' association, nailer tbe name of the Anti-Prohibion Liberty party, held a contention in the city of Raleigh, and nominated Col. 6. H. Dockery, and that he accepted the nomination of tbe smM liquor dealers' association. . And 'don't let it be forgotten that a week later. the Republicans met in convention here, in tbe same hall, and endorsed the nomination made by the" liquor party that party which had the year before made sport of preachers, canine loem crazy ranatic. And then let it be remembered that Col Dockery stumped the State agaia in 1882, telling tbe people as he went, that prohibition would take away the peoples' liberties, and charging that tbe Democratic partr was the Prohibition party. V Ana then let it be remembered that the Colonel Oliver U. Dockery. who is now a candidate for Governor, and who is so anxious to canvass with bis brother Walker, the third party can didate for Governor, because - he hopes to make a cats paw of him and his party to pull the gubernatorial chestnut out of the fire, is the same Uot Dockery who bated prohibition so bad in 1881 that he would ant di vide time with a prohibition speaker at Concord. And finally, let it be remembered, that, if the Democratic ticket, which has seven prohibitionists oo it, is not elected, then Col. Dockery, the wheelahorse of the Liquor Dealers' Association will sit in the guberna torial chair for tbe next four years, with a full cabinet of Aotts' in the State offices sitting around him. And truly may ne then exclaim: 'ive conquered at last" Prohibitionists, if you would save your cause is Kortn Caroiiua, vote for that ticket that stauds the bes chance to beat tbe old wheeNhors of Anti-Prohibition.
