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

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.

The unhappy gentleman from Ohio

"A love of a bonnet" is a phrase that
we often see quoted, and people think
it means simply a pretty bonnet, but

The campaign liar baa come to the

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.

i FKOQIBITION ATTITUDE.

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.

Special telegrams to Draddrteft
presents some encouraging features.
There has been a notable activity
among Eastern manufacturers of
boots and shoes.
Cattle receipts are very heavy at
Kansas City and prices are off 20c,
but at St Louis the supply has been
moderate and prices of good grades
were tending opward. 't here is no
gain ia either price or demand for
pig iron ana steel rails, nominally
$30 per ton at the mill, can be bought
for less. Southern pig4rons of vari-
out brands are persistently forced oa
the New York market and adjacent
territory, and offered at lower prices
than anything publicly qnoted. No.
1 X at 117 0. No. 2 X at $16.25 de
livered, the buyer thereby saving 50c
to 75c a ton. Irons from the booth
and Ohio are greater competitors of
the Lehigh furnaces than those from
abroad. Coal Is active, but prices
are not to be advacced until after
August 15.
Wheat closes 11c and flour 5 to
10& higher than last week.
There has been a notable check ia
the demand for raw ingw from re
fineries who have accumulated heavy
stock by direct importation from Cu
ba, Jamaica, TrintJad and elsewhere.
Refined has been in good, but les
orgent demand. Foil prices have
been asked and paid in most instan
ces, tbongh in some cases quotations

ben who purchase largely at low fig

price of coffee has beea lower, trad
in, both speculative sod otherwise,
having been characterized by fees'
tancy and reserve
Interior holders of wool continue

activity in those States and in tbe
