There can be but one an efrer in the minds of patriotic people, and that will' be in the affirmative. And how is the protection for the far irjer to be hadl Through a stoppage o:. the surplus and a reduction of, tf riff taxation to a revenue basis.! So, aud so Only. J j Elshthere we print the remarks, njjade by Congressman W. & F. Ifreckenridge at the New York Re farm Club dinner Saturday nigjit in response to the toast "Tariff; Re form." Tho dinner was namerou&iy atended by men prominent in alnio&t eyery walk of life and the 2'imts sys: "Nearly every &ection of the country and, with few exceptions, eVery interest was repreeented and erery interest wasably represented.'' 5Jr. Breckenridge is the gentleman fho has so distinguished himself for oratory in the House. He wears well hs riarae. Henry Watterson spoke nso at the He form Club dinner $nd him as "brilliant and ; eio dtitnt," 'the latest successor of $enry Clay." It will be seen that he has a firm eraep of the tariff reform Subject and has presented it as we)', ill, i lit i groDaoiy, as it couia nave oeen,; pre sented in the short space of time at his command. j We note with great satisfaction tho boom that seems to have set in for qiir chief commercial emporium, hos pitable, whole-Bojiled Wilmington Tiie city is to havei the O.

It is of great importance to us in North Carolina that wo should have a democratic administration of Fed eral affairs ; it is of great importance that we should have a reduction of tariff taxation and that the internal revenue system should be abolished. But it is of the gieatest importance that we should have a Democrat ic administration of our own Lome af fairs our affairs here in the Stele. We are interested, and with reason, in: the matter of electing another Democratic President or of re-electing our present able executive ; in the matter of tax reduction and in the matter of the uprooting of the inter nal revenuo system. Cut at the same time we cannot fail to realize that the matter of overshadowing importance to us in North Carolina is a continu ance of the control of State affairs in proper hande. However it may bo with regard lo matters more general we cannot af ford to divide on this point. The proposition needs no argument for any one familliar with the Listory of the State since the war. It has only to be stated. It is self evident. It behooves every one, therefore, with any interests in North Carolina to bo cared for. to bestir himself to the end that the economy and effi ciency of Democratic control may be continued. Every Democratic vote will be needed this year. Every Democratic voter shuiild b got to the polls. E ery patriotic citizen should exert him self to the end that the full Demo cratic strength may be carried into the coming contest. The matter is of the very first importance to every on of us. Ve should realize the fact in time. A prominent Raleigh gentleman, a leading business man, writes us from New l'ork city that "Wall street com plains loudly that the President's message has had. a bad effect on bus iness and predicts all sorts of calami ties, but the business people seem to know nothing about the bad effects of the message and do not seem to be afraid of the predicted calamities." I he people at large can stand that ftate of things very well. Luckily II r. Cleveland is not the President of Wall street but of the whole country. Our friend says further: "Business seems to be lively, especially in the dry goods trade. It is quite cold, but the air is pure and healthy. The ground is covered with snow, and the sleighing and tobogganing at the parks are ss'd to be delightful." Tobogganing is a new fashion of coasting on an extensive scale intro duced from Canada. It has been well described by a Chinaman, according to the newspapers jokers, as "Swish ! Walkee back a mile up hill." In th'e death of "Dolly" Browning, elsewhere noted, we recognize the fact that as clever a fellow as ever lived has gone to his long home. lie wai a faithful servant of tho com-, pairy of which he was so long an em ployee ard was a true man in all relations, with a heart as big as his body. Peace be to his ashes. TIIK MKXIltGITia IS A1HSVILLE - An Abatement of th.DUa. Cor. of the Sews and Observer. Abbeville, N. C-, Jan. 21. This community has recently un dergone a sore affliction in the preva- :lene of meningitis produced, it is supposed, by the recent blizzards, which, sweepfng from the frozen lake regions, have given the Alleghany Mountains a few icy touches as they passed, producing the sudden, violent inflammation of the membranes of the spinal corda of children and feeble adults which hae resulted fatally in a number of cases. Thia morning a committee of phy sicians, consisting of doctors S. vV. Battle, J. H. Williams and F. T. Mer riwe'her, appointed by the board of heilth of this city, issued a bulletin, in which they state that there have been since the first case, about the 25th of December last, twenty-seven (27)cases of well marked meningitis within the corporate limits of the citj; that these cases are for the most part confined todocalities where the sanitary conditions were badj and that the disease has been largely re stricted to the poorer classes, who have not the means of taking the pro per care and. ordinary precautions against the rigors of disease. They say further that no new cases have been developed for more than two days an abatement in the disease which the committee attribute to a decided change in the meteorological conditions. They assure the public that in the opinion of the committee, the.outlook is decidedly brighter and that "there is little cause for serious alarm." Currituck. Cor. tif the News and observer.

Y. 1111)03, '"Ffcom the ad-iption of the tariff known as the Walker tariff nntil the outbreak of the war the progress of our country was without parallel. The ifccessities of the war seemed to require a chango in our tariff lnwa The enormous expenditures which were x required (in the judgment of the statesmen then in control) could not b$ met except by increased taxa tion, l This was the only excuse for the adoption of the Morrill tariff bill. As, soon, however, as this system be came the fixed policy of the party in power, as soon as it was understood that the powers of the General Gov ernment could be used for private gain, lhat the sovereign power of tax ation might be made the means of prfvale aggrandisement, the increase of tariff taxation became continual and gjeat. This necessarily produced combinations. Those who desired to obtain the benefit of this class legisla tion united, so that they might suc cessfully put through Congress the measures which in their judgment would' inure to tbeir benefit. And so for one reason or another, the legisla tion fOr many years wa9 influenced, if not directed, by this combination of private interests. "On every day for more than eigh teen months, a million of dollars, wrung Iby taxation from the American people, have been poured into a trea sury already so overflowing that the surplus therein is a perpetual menace to the1! safety of all business enter prisesand to the prosperity of all in dustries. That surplus is a constant temptation to unwise if not corrupt expenditures. But the dangers aris ing from the mere presence of this surplris. as it is now in the Treasury, as great as they are, may be but tem poraryT; he more serious question is, How are we to prevent the further accumulation of that surplus in such a manner as to reduce the revenue to the government and diminish the burden of taxation to the poopleT The question before the American Congress today is, How shall the publicjrevenues be reduced and the burdefi of taxation diminished1? "The Only mode by which this can be done is the gradual reform of our present tariff. We cannot afford to recklessly or wantonly reverse this financial system and run the risk of financial disturbance and revolution I believe that the time has come when many of the industries of America are so'hampered by the illogical and J unequal provisions of the tariff that I they need a revision of it as much an the consumer does. By reason of I the unnecessary income pro i duced by this tariff taxation in the ; last few years the 3 per cent bonds ! nave oeen compelled to be canea in i and the system of national banks ren dered unstable and doubtful. 1 h same Iniquities of protective tariff nave uriven our merchant marine from the high seas. We cannot sell at a profit where we cannot buy at advantage- So long as we mulct with an average fine of $16 in the hun dred those who have the enterprise to take the produce of our fields and i farms ;.and shops to foreign lands and attempt to bring back in the I shape "of merchandise the price of their exports we must submit to the supremacy of the seas being in the hands of wiser statesmen who are not I crazed with the belief that a people can enrich themselves by their own taxation. The lobbies of Congress are filled with the agents of mighty organizations, and the name of the American laborer is made to cover the iniquities of the tocalled Ameri can system. And we who desire to Lfree out; manufactures, our commerce and our .merchants from these tram mels ata charged with being British in our-statements, if not purchased with foreign gold. "The - President of the United States :today represents by his late message this issue of tariff reform and of all the reforms which are bound up with a reformation of the tariff laws, whatever relation he may have sustained to all other questions prior to the Clh day of December, what ever may have been the regard ! in which he' was held 'by the various parties'into which our citizenship was dividec on that day, by the message which he sent to the American Con gress be became therepresentative of careful cautious, wise, but firm re vision pf our system of taxation, by which jhe burdens might be removed from the necessaries of life, the taxa tion tipon the laborer reduced, the : obstructions to the growth! of American manufact ures removed, and, the principle that claes legislation was improper in a Government of freemen should here after dominate. This appeal which he hasmade to the courage and intel ligence)! of the American people is as courageous an act of civic patriotism as any-;American statesman has eyer performed. And yet it is a striking commentary upon tho pernicious effect Of the system which haa eo long controlled our republic that to resolutely face it requires heroic courage. The issue between the President of the United States and this system has been fairly made. The tribunal to decide that issue is the American people. It cannot be possible that' the ballot box can be eo corrupted as to render the verdict of that tribunal uncertain." Competitive Examination, Hon; C. W.
