JUSTICE'S LETTER.
Mr. Editor. As an additional

It l&oks to me like a Southern
farmer who votes the Democratic
ticket with these facts bfefore him,
should be taken down to the hu
rah bush, as old Mode Crews
says, and be dealt with and more
especially' when we remember
that the taxable value of prop
erty, especially in North Carolina,
actually decreased under- the
Democratic administration from

.The next clipping I will ask you

v THE MEASURE OF PROSPERITY.
A more lavish Christina
Beeu ia this coilntry than yesterday,
one when the entire mass of the com
munity came td thed y after a pros
perous year of uobrokeu employment
at a fair and satisfactory return. As
compared with the previous year,1 or
any year, the advance in the trreat
industrial machine is unprecedented.
Our txport uud imports for tha
calendar year run $130,000,000 for
exports and $tr0,000,000 tor im
ports oyer last year. Railroad gross
earnings! are some $120.000;000
over lt04, and net earnings eome
$40000,000, estimating the total
mileage frOm returns from one-half.
This growth is about 7 per cent. . on
rauroaas ana iu per. cent on foreign
trade. Bank clearings are about
$34,000,000,000 morethan in 1904,
or a growth in overturn of a third.
In alt this December Is estimated.
This accounts for, the unprecedent
ed . activity in all "trade," beginning
with iron and steel, running -at 25,
000,000 tonaayear, and going down
to Christmas shopping. This addi
tion to the usual overturn haB swol
len all exchanges, all , traffic and all
records. . t
iThis article needs no comment
from me but the astounding
measure of the prosperity it tells
of is worthy of deep considera
tion by all, and the means and
measures that, have contributed
to make it possible should be
studied and continued as long as
possible. I want my young friends,
of the Sentinel to think of this
the next time they go to vote.
In commenting on' the condi
tions of the couutry .under the
head of "Trade, Price, and Christ
mas," the Philadelphia Press
says in its issue of Dec. 25th:
"A Christmas trade so much l irger
than any preceding that all records
are broken at all points; and, most
of all in the purchase of useful arti
cles for the mass, closea.a year of un
precedented prosperity.
.'These records not only pass previ
ous experience in the' aggregate, but
Ltrhe growth is greater. The great im-
pjiise given to traae comes irom rail
road expenditure and building. IUil
roads west pf Chicago have $333,
000,000 of new construction and im
provement under wav, and In 1905
they have completed $245,000 000,
almost twice the amount in 1904.
which was $137,000,000. The
amount of new work east of Chicago
ia as great or greater. .
:ln.a!l some $700,000,000 of new
railroad work is in progress, and at
least $500,000,000 has been nxpend
ed on work completed In 1905. la
addition, new equipment has cost
$2G-S.000,00(), "108,000 cars and
3152 locomotives having been built.
For all, the railroads of this country
have spent on new construction and
hew equipment in the past year about
$750,000,000."
?4 This is another wonderful story
to be true. But we. know that
there ia no mistake about it,' for
here in our own town we see the
railroads pressed to their utmost
Capacity and the Southern doub
ling its tracks from Washiug
5tbh to Charlotte, and still it can
hat handle the business in a sat
isfactory way. Also what this
article says about Christmas
buying we .have all seen' here.
The'writer was in several stores
duringehristmas and the crowds
wereSo great that it was with
difficulty any one could get wait-
jetfe onY ana wnen tne nonaays

looked like a cyclone had struck
them: their shelves were so bare
of 'goods, and yet during all these
days I did nht see a single face

contented, in fact iubilant, and
all seemed anxious to do all they
CoUld to make others happy.
This made this one of the hap

hope is that such may always be
tne case. .ow dou, you uuu

In this you join me in a prayer

Yesterday was a great out-of -doors
day for the people of this city. ,The
streets were crowded by shoppers and
by people hurrying to and from

holidays and others going to visit
relatives and friends in other eitles

The precipitation of rain during

Now when election comes again
let me beg you boys to go and
vote as you pray just as 1 do.
Continuing? our quotations
from clippings, the next I will ask
you to publish is from our friends'
paper, the Sentinel,, of Dec. 20 Eh.
It says:
4 WAVE 6F PliOSPEKITW
"In a recent' lecture ex-President
Horace Davis, of the California State
University, said.
"Record, breaking is a feature of
the year in all directions. More Iron
will be made this year by fully four
million tons than the furnaces have
heretofore turned out in a calendar
year, and the coal output will ex
ceed that of 1904, although the latter
was carried to the tremendous ag
gregation of 301,000,000 tons. Our
exports and imports will show great
gains, and railway tonnage is about
to create a new and wonderlul rec
ord. The railroads are In fact una
hie to handle the Immense volume of
business that the country is pressing
upon them. I he country ia short is
riding a glorious wave of prosperity
that means more to more people
than any previous wave the country
has ever known."
Now Henry, I will bind myself
to present you and Hob, botn,

your next Christmas dinner it you

to find it. Look forit boys, and
if you find it pall oiL me for the
turkey. But as a matter oi pre
caution for fear you don't find it
you had better not put on ar

TJust under the article just
quoted I saw the following piece
of poetry which with a little
changing so fully describes the
conditions under Democracy that
I will ask yo j to publish botn
the original and as 1 have chang
ed it:
THE DAY OF RECKONING.
'Twas the day after Christmas,
And all through the house
The children were having
A merry carouse; '
While pa in his study
Was tearing his hair
As he gazed rat the bills
That wtre1 piled everywhere:
Town Topics. 1
'Twas the day after Christmas, )-
Aud all through the house
Was the silence of death,
Nothing stirred even a mouse.
While our pa out of work
Was bowed In despair
As he looked in the larder
And found nothing there.
And mother grew paler
At each set of son
And tears wet the cheeks
Where roses bad grown. ;
This sounds like it was written
for 1803. the first Democratic
vear had after the war.
In its issue of Dec. 0 th the
Charlotte Observer published as
its leading editorial the follow
log:
THE SOUTH' MAKPFACTCBCS.
The great development of mano
factures in' the fourteen Southern
States 1 forcibly set forth by figures
taken from the. Manufacturers Kec
ord, of Baltimore: and secured from
other sources, all of which are relia
ble. In manufactured products the
Increase from 1880 to 1890 wa from
a! valuation of $150,000,000 to
$917,000,000; in 1900 ti. figures
were, $1,600,000,000, wbll for 1905
th valuation Is placed at $1,750.-
000.000. I The output of vice iron In
1880 was; 397,000 tons, and this
year it is 3,300,000.
in 1880 the Southern States had
$21,000,000 Invested In co tton mills,
operating 600,000 spindles, while ten
years later $61,000,000" represented
the amount Invested in the Industry
and1,700,000 as the number of spin
dles; this year $150,000,000 is invest:
ed and there are 9,000,000 spindles.
These mills now consume 2,250,000
bales of cotton, as against only 188,
000 bales in 1880. The possibilities
of the Industry are shown by the
statement that there are In the world
a total of 110,000,000 spindles and
the South can supply cotton for 80,
000000 spindles, while there are in
the section In which the staple grows
but 9,000,000 spindles. These fig
ures would seem to indicate that,
other things being equal, there is no
danger of .too many mills being built
in the. South. This section raises the
staple and it should also manufac
ture the.greater part of it, .thus to
greater extent reaping the benefit to
be derived therefrom. ,
Twenty-five years ago there were
but 40 cotton oil mills In the Souths
with a capital stock of $3,000,000,
and in most places cotton seed were
regarded as worthless, being used
mainly for falling gullies and making
fertilizer. Now there are 1,000 cot
ton oil mills in operation and their
total capitalization is $80,000,000.
more than half the amount invested
in ootton manufacture In't his section.
The figures quoted above give some
idea of the rapidity with which the
Southern States are coming tp the
front in the matter of manufactures
and are indeed gratifying. Taken in
connection with the f act that this de
velopment may now be said to have
only fairly begun tbey paint a most
glowing picture for the future.
This needs no comment; it just
heeds reading and re reading be
fore any man votes to tear down
the Republican doctrine of pro
tection that has done all this for
us. It seems to me it would be
an insult to ask a man to vote
the Democratic ticket with the
facts1 embodied m this editorial
fresh in his mind. But to this let
me add the following from' the
Sentinel of a few days ago:
: "Factories of j different kinds are
constantly being started in the'
Sontn."!. .
Now I will ask you to please
publish the following from the
advanced sheets of Dun's review
of this year: j
THE YEAR 1905.
In the history of the youngest, yet
most virile of the great nations, th
year 1905 stands out as the one of
moat rapid prcgreea and greatest
success. Yet the past year has been
so exceptionally prosperous that the
attention of a busy people should be
called to gome of the most notewor
thy accomplishments. It o ver a mil
lion immigrants were absorbed In a
single year withjout glutting the la
bor market in any other nation so
ciologists would ponder the problem
with amazement, out such an un
heard of occurrence in the United
States arouses; little comment. So
as to reports ol.loreign commerce
and practically every measure of in
ternal j;rade, to say nothing pf agri
cultural production and transporta
tion. The mileage- of the railways
has steadily increased and, the Issues
of stocks and bbnds are beyond pre
cedent; yet the market value of the
sixty most active securities has risen
far above, all previous records, the
earnings are much greater than ever
beforehand frequent complaints have
been beard because traffic facilities
were .Inadequate. Manufacturing
plantshave turned out quantities of
products much In excess of any ear
lier year without causing accumula
tion;' In fact, I was often the case
that goods cquld not be delivered as
specified and in the iron and steel In
dustry orders will be carried over
into 1906 equal to the entire annual
production a few years ago. Prices
of cbmmodities have risen to the
highest position In twenty-two years.
Failures are fewer in proportion to
the number of firms in business and
liabilities are at the minimum ratio
to solvent payments through" the
clearing houses, which have- also
reached a new high-water "mark.
Faster than the growth of popula
tion has been the increase in . the
amount of money in circulation, the
average nowstanding at the hereto
fore, unequaled sum of $31.75 per
capita, and the.stock of gold In the
Federal Treasury hasetlipsedall pre
vious record of this or any other
nation at over $765,000,000. AH

al prosperity to the student of -ecor
nomics. . 1 j
Now I want my young friends
to compare this with Dun's Re
view of 1893, the first Democratic
year,! when he says: . "Starting
with the best trade ever known,
mill8 crowded to ..their Utmost
capacity, etc., for sudden shrink
age in trade and commercial dis
asters, the year 1 803 has proven
the worst for 50 years." But
should my young fronds think
the picture overdrawn by Dun I
will ask tbem to ponder awhile
over the following from their own
paper o! Sept. 30, 1893i "
'Dun's report of th business situ
ation for the past week cannot be
said to be encouraging." We trust
that the events of the coming week
will be such as to pt a brighter and
more hopeful face upon th financial
and commercial interests of the coun
try." V - ' . y : V-
Also the following from the
Sentinel, of October 3rd: .
"In the memory of us all the year
18'Jd will be long remembered. It Is
a year of disaster from the storm, of
loss of life, byactldent, ot murders,
thefts lynchings. One of Its, most re
markable aspects, Is the enormous
number of failures, computed now at
some 12OU0, with liabilities of
$324,087,768. The year 1893 is pe
culiarly a year of financial disturb
ance, not. merely in a business sense
but also In a legislative sense."
Let me tell mv youncr friends.
they will find food for thought,
world. without end, H- they will
just tur. back and red the files
of their paper for 1893, '04, '95
and vb. Uut theseJ conditions
are summed up most concisely in
a speech, of Uharles D. Landis,
who said: "
"In 1892 Grover Cleveland was
elected. That was the greatest mis
take the Democratic party ever made.
They found themselves facing the
people of the country in the midst of
a domestic prosperity never lefore
equaled. They were pledged to im
prove it. Capital was employed;
they promised to employ It better!
Wages were high; thev promised to
make them hie her. . Labor! There
was not an Idle man in the United
States of America unless be was idle
from choice; and" you are acquainted
witn tne result. ' t
"Scarce three months passed until
the idle men commenced roaming
over the country. Bankruptcy be
came an epidemic, idleness trot- to
be a profession, . and hard-time festi
vals became popular social functions.
You did- that, gentlemen. You
brought about that condition of af
fairsyou prophets, you promisers,
you arraigners. lou packed the
side tracks of the railroads of this
country with empty cars. You sent
the price of cornea low it was burned
as fuel, The farmer fedSO-cent wheat
to 2;en,t hogs, and horses were cot
worth wintering, and sheep shivered
and died on the range because they
were not worth sheltering, and as
many as 100 idle men were found on
single trains roaming thisvcountryln
search of work."
This was not the condition in
Indiana alone, the State from
which Mr. Landis came.
was universal, as the following
extracts frofn otherspeeches will
show:
"On August 18, 1893, MrHaines,
of New York, in a speech on the ques
tion of a bill repealing the purchas
ing clause of the Sherman Act, said:
"At the present moment its (bis
distrfct-Sgricuiture and its com
merce are languishing, Its factories
are shutting do wnrit mechanics and
laboring men are suffering in enforced
idleness, and their families are in
want. The farmers of the West and
South -and I do not blame them for
getting wild when they think of it
have lost millions of dollars by the
fall of prices."
On the same day Mr. Simpson, of
Kansas, addressing the House on the
same general subject 6aid:
"I want to go Over a few of the
conditions that I think have brought
he people of this country almost to
the verge of bankrpptcy, a tew of the
conditions that have produced pa
ralysis of business and thrown labor
ing classes out of employment until
I suppose today there are not less
than 4,000,000 men asking for work
in this country. Congressional Rec
