If the apostles of fusion are not arrant frauds and cheats there are good times coming. They bare taught on the stump and through the press and in mid night meetings that the Democratic party is responsible for all the ills that human flesh is air to. Now that ' Pemocracy has been defeated they must make times bet ter or acknowledge that they are a lot of bunco steerers, qnworthy of belief and bent on treason, strata gems and spoils. They hate told the people that the Democrats hare made the price of wheat so low. Let them now see to it that wheat doubles in value, and that cotton goes booming back to twenty cents a pound, or let them make the damning admission that legislation is powerless to effect the price of agricnltural pro ducts. They hate charged the Democrats with cutting down the price of la bor and grinding the face of the poor. " Let them now see to it that wages are promptly raised, that there is plenty of work for ' those that want to wprk and Jbat tP who won't work are provided with an office or pensioned off at the pub lic expense. They havef complained tbftt the Democrats have made money scarce, and they made the money nueatiop one of the prominent issue of the campaign. Now let them flood tbe country witb silrer and greenbacks let them start np the mints, and put the printing presses in motion, and distribute to every man, wo man and child the fifty dollars they bate promised ; or let them admit that they hate been guilty of obtaining goods under false pre tense. . Of course, the good times are coming.

In the New York Herald ot San day is a loag and interesting article under the caption, "Wages Depend Upon Politics." It says that on Saturday there fell into its hands a straw, in the form of a circular, which it reproduces, as follows : Seabury & Johvsox, Nos 59, 61 Maiden Lane, Nrw Yomr, Not. 10, '94 FIRST GUN FOR THE WAGE EARNER . To Our Employes A reduction in wages took place in 1893. Soon after the election in 1 892 of Presi dent Cleveland, the apostle of the ories and misery, the nation was plunged into commercial and finan cial depression. Bankruptcy was the order of the day. Two years experience under the present ad ministration has cured the people of their commeroial heresies and de lusions. True to American genius splen didly illustrated by Abraham Lin coln when he stated that "you can fool all the people some of the time, some of the people all the time, but you cant fool all the people nil the time" the people soon tired of the luxurious experiment, and on Not 6, 1894, arose in their might, and peacefully with their ballots chang ed the political complexion of the House of Representatives, and, in deed, the entire government of States, giving the party of patriot ism, protection and prosperity a clear majority, thereby insuring a return of those beneficient policies that have made our country the greatest nation on earth. Public confidence will be returned as if by magic, and as a natural sequence there will be a general revival of trade and commerce. "doming events cast their shad ows before " Under the proyiiions of the Wilson bill, which will be cremated with, funeral honors, it will for a time be impossible for every industry to so quickly respond to the situation. To commemorate those glorious viotories of the peo ple, and also as a remembrance of my semi-centennial birthday, which takes place in NoTember, we take pleasure in announcing to you that your former salaries will be restor-' ed, beginning the week from No vember 12, until further notice. Yours Tery respectfully, George J. Seabury, President. Seabury & Johnson. A Herald reporter interTiewed a member of the firm above named, with the following result : I asked Mr- Hopping if his busi ness did not receive some benefit from the Wilson bill, and he re plied that neither the McKinley bill nor the Wilson bill made much difference to them, hen Mr. Hop ping made ' the astonishing state ment that during the panic they bought more cotton cotton is need in plasters, it will be remembered than they haTe done before or since. The reporter continues : I met a gentleman connected with another big drug firm the gentle man, in fact, who sent th letter to the tfwM who said : " j was talking this, morning with a partner in a big printing house, whe told me that in consequence of the Republican fiptory qn N0Tem ber 6th his house was going to start up on fall time. Wbat,' I exclaim ed. do von mean to ay that you d, do you mean to ay haTe kept tbe wages of your em ployes down for political reasons V 'Certainly,' he replied j !we wanted them to Tote the Bepublican tick et, and tjbey have done it." "You will find," continued the gentleman, "that tha kind of thing has befn done etensiTely in New York'cityi as well as everywhere else in the ponnry. Wht' the man ufacturers wnt ia the restoration of the Mckinley bill." The reporter foHowiUhie np with cameron instances showing how workingmec were coerced last sum mer into agitating against the Wil son bill and coerced last week into Toting the Bepnblican ticket j but the, conspicuous faot in the Herald8 conclusions, arrived at after inves tigation, that tbe whole system of w age-cutting oh 'the part of mi bu facture'rs has been a deep-laid and concerted plot in order to influenoe the eleptfftri p,f )at w ee agajnat th Qemppratip party and to secure the re-enactment of the McKinley law. Tbe following i the Heralfa edito rial comment i 8ome perioni combine politics witb business and manage to make the combination pay.. -This is a f-eneral remark evoked by a pecu iar ciroular which will be fogt . in another oolump this morning- It is a ciwular lent out by j a buiinwi firm to its employes notifying them of the restoration of the standard of wages which prevailed before the election of Mr. OleTeland in 1892. The president of the company bold ly state that hiiaQtio if the; result of the recent election. Soon af ter'the election in 1892 ol president Cleyeland, tha apostle of theories and misery," ay the irmUr. "the nation waa plunged ln llgaa now it raises them, to. orig inal grade on account of the Repub lican Victory November 6,th, TO, ia not en iaolated cats, and inch acts appear to be nothing less than political persecution and dis- ? a - 3 1 cnminauon, ana Dy no means in accordance with American' ideas of justice. The sudden closing of shops and factories and wholesale cnt in wages in December, 1893, now seems to haTe been done for political effect." It is hard to resist such a combi nation as this a combination of money and political and personal influence, all directed to a common end. But the foregoing facta only serve to give emphasia to the truth that this is a fight of tbe common people against the concentrated power of corporate ana individual wealth. The discouraging thing about it is that the people fail to see it. SHERBirS SOBEB WORDS. Tib MciiQlsy Tariff Bis Rot Woo-List if Tariff lgititiaB for a Tlmo. Senator Sherman In New York World. The landslide that has given the Republicans control of the House by an overwhelming majority and, perhaps, the Senate by a small ma jority, is so widespread, it has seem ed to me to be a protest against 4he acts of the Democrats since they have been in power and a return to the Republicans. However, I am not incliaed to claim that the victory will be per manent. The people may become as displeased with the Republicans before many years and administer to them as crushing a defeat as they have administered to tbe Democrats this year. I would certainly not at tempt to forecast. what is to come of this revolution The people punished the Repub licans in 1890 and 1892, and now they have changed. To say they cannot or are not likely to turn back again is to make a stronger state ment than I would care to venture. I do not regard the present result as an endorsement of the McKinley bill of a demand on the part of the people for a radical tariff legislation. There will undoubtedly be some members who will regard it as such, but I hardly believe the party will enter into any extreme legislation of this kind- Of course they cannot do it dur ing the next session of Congress, because the President would not al low anything of that kind to become law, nd . the effort would prove fruitless I would not favor any great in crease of duties On the stump in the campaign I was a moderate, pro tectionist, and wanted only such duties as would insure fir rate of wages for the arkig meu ot the coantry. Some protectionists weald have foreign goods absolutely excluded by a high tariff. I do not believe in this, as it would give a monopo ly to our home manufacturers and bring on contests between capital and labor. I believe in so placing tbe duties 8 to allow a healthy for eign competition- ff I should see that any duty was making a monop oly I would take that duty off. The Republicans went to an ex treme on the question in 189) be cause they. had abqlo,U control of all the branches tf the gaverqa&ent. If there had been any Check they would not have dang so In the same way the Democrats went to an extreme iu this Gongrees, There will probably be an effort to pass the smaller tariff bills at the short session, but that would raise great opposition, and I beliere wtuld be futile. That m probably ' be the last o,l the tariff agitation for a time, I do not know exactly what to think of the resq.H of t$a election as it hears, an the silver question. I believe the gifter eaimAt has grown m.UQ.h stronger- in the West and South, but in the East general ly, and in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Illinois in particular, it ia much weaker than it was in 1890 or 1892. What bearing this may have on the campaign for President iu llQ I could not say, as I never attempt to make aoj Brophesjr Inpolitic. smjfj imr Sfjjmi 11 Lay t; Hc ftrlfaa.

Deo. 12 1 DISEE FC3 C33TB CIEOUIJL Salisbury Herald. ' Mb. Editor : It appears to me that no utterance which I have yet seen covers the full extent of the inexpressible calamity that has be fallen this old Commonwealth, which in all the dark days of mis fortune and suffering has never be fore been stained with disgrace -disgrace which hardly the biood of all her men, or the iears of all her women, could now wash out ! It was not disgrace when she, who had borne herself so nobly in tbe war for Confederate freedom that the praise of her sons waa on the lips et every genera, and written on the page of everyf hie tori al record, laid down her arms in honorable de feat and,- war-worn and weary, sank beneath the heavy yoke of ber in suiting conquarers. Nor was dis grace added to the bitterness of the cup they put to her lips to be drain ed during those eleven long dark years of plunder and misrule and every conceivable indignity and wrong that could be inflicted upon a people. Then, slowly but surely, she was struggling, like a bound giant, toward the light of freedom, and emancipation from the worst of these galling fetters those which made it possible for ber resources to bevthe prey of robbers at home and her credit to be dishonored abroad. One by one she tore these fetters from her limbs, and when at last, in the great year of seventy-six, her people rose as one man and swept the State from the mongrel crew that had fattened upon her, what a mighty shout went up to heaven of freed men once more restored to their rights, and possessing again the power to govern their own be loved State. And now I What words are strong enough to paint the situation as it stands now ? For it is stern truth to say that blacker disgrace has never covered a people than that which now overwhelms North Caro lina, and under which every man wit bin her borders worthy to he call ed a man who is not either a trait or to his people a hireling who has sold his manhood for Republican spoil, or a poor, misguided fool, de luded by socialistio insanity- sits bowed down in shame and sorrow ! Of their own deliberate will the peo ple of North Carolina have gone down into the depths where South ern Republicanism sat in darkness, like a foul reptile which, having to abandon its prey, lurked, wailing for th moment whq U might fas ten again apQU. the victim, and, to their own everlasting shame, made a covenant to deliver the State of their nativity, the S'ate for whioh brave men died, into tha hands of these thrice- proved thieves arid traitor OJ their own deliberate will thousands of white men mt negroes, who are marejjf the. poor instruments to. do Republican bid -bing have. ctt their ballots for those who represent every infamy of past misrule, havo ne back in to the land of bondage, ha?e with an ingratitude only paralleled by the Israelites in Holy Writ (aa the eloquent voice which spake ta them bat the atb,er day declared) struck down that great Xtamooratto party to which they owe every oivil right they enjoy, the right -of freedom to cast their ballots at polls undomi nated by Federal bayonets, the right to close the doors .which lead to miscegenation, the righ to, claim and ebtain justice, m their courts Blacky ngjtatitu.de than th,at of a Southern, man who casts, hj vote against thiaigreaA party to which he owes, thAVhe i "not a helpless serf in hU own. land, hittory does not record.

Although the Democrats of North Carolina have suffered partial defeat they are not the men to cower in tbe face of defeat and are not made of the stuff that cringes before an en emy, j The most unprincipled means have been used to defeat tbe Demo cratic party, for an alliance with every faction regardless of the prin ciples of those factions was made that by all and any means the Dem ocrats might be defeated. We sub mit to our defeat, but we submit knowing that the best people of our good old State are still in the ranks of Democracy and there they will remain We have been' defeated simply by numbers, not by the in telligence and the virtue of North Carolina. Go throughout the State and yon will find the most intelli gent, the most prosperous, in fact the great majority of the stalwart minded men of the country in the Democratic party. A ! sad state of affairs indeed but it is true that the inferior element of North Carolina baa outvoted us They have simply been under more cunning leadership and by combining forces have tri umphed. We have been defeated before. North Carolina ha in time past been in the hands of the worst and most vicious element' We have seen corruption, without a blush, hold high carnival in our courts of i'ustice and balls of legislation. We. lave seen lewd men and negro we aches hold a ball tin our elegant legislative halls when the best ladies of the State were denied' the privi lege of holding a sociable in those halls. We have seen the noble white men of North Carolina, they who had given their time and their la bors their prayers and their tears, aye, and even had shed their life blood for their State, disfranchised, cast into loathsome prisons for no crime and denied that priceless boon of freemen a trial bv iurv. W have seen our great institutions closed and even oar snlendid Uni versity closed to the young men of the State and tbe chapel of that noble institution, where for nearlv three , quarters of a j century the young men had on each morning assembled for praise and prayer to that God who had guided and guar ded us as a people, converted into a common cattle stall. The men of North Carolina -remember these thiasfa. They remember, too, that after the insults, the swinging, burn ing effrontery of shame the proud contumely of hellish power had be come goading to a point far beyond endurance that they arose and mak ing an appeal to Him who giveth not the race to the swift nor the battle to the strong, pnt away such infamous iniquity and raised our good oldj State to a plane of honor and respect a.tueH the eret feder ation of Slates. Aad mark you, you who have by damnable deeds of darkness ander cover of night in censed and inflamed the passions of the illiterate, you who have declared that you would carry the election by bullets if not by ballots, you who have ' been making incendiary speeches and deolaring that if your demands were not granted that whole towns would go up in smoke, mark you, Democracy will triumph yet again. "DsBiocrvcy is immortal" said the great Vance. "It stands for human liberty and human I freedom and cannot die, Then, do your worst, enemies of Democracy, but remem ber, that it is yet to be the Moses of the South and shall yet break the house of our political bondage. Do you think to forever defeat Democ racy? In the language of the poet 0 thrioe fooled foola I Aa wen might ye hope to bind j The ieaert sands with a ailka thread,. When tossed by the whistling winda. Or to blend the shattered waYea that laah The feet of tha aleaving rock When th tempest walks the faoe of tha deep." Remember that the principles es poused by the Democrats are living principles and will exist "though the north star shall leave its orbit and no longer guide the pilot on the i tempestuous sea and like the con stellation of the cross, sink from view behind the everlasting ice of the j pole." Its great beneficent principles will live and, flourish de spite the opposition! of men and devils, (when the Beduoin of the desert shall halt his camels upon the disintegrated dnst of tbe tallest pyramid."
