tive of the State and countv Demo-
cracy. Mr. Terry then called upon;
Mr. Frank Gough, chairman of tho j
county board of elections, to intro- j
duce Mr. Stacv. Mr. Gough in a few '
well-chosen words mrged upon the
whole people the necessity of co.operL
tion in regard to our present unfortu
nate condition occasioned by the war
in Europe, and explained how neither
the Democratic party or any other
American organization was or could
be responsible for the war and its
consequences as we suffer them. He
stated that he was paying every one
of his tenants 10 cents a pound lor
their cotton.
Mr. Stacy then for about one hour
spoke well and vigorously for Democ
racy. He traced the origin of the
party, its successes and adversities.

had existed since its foundation by
Thomas Jefferson in Washington's
time. Mr. Stacy explained lucidly
many of the working of our new taHff
law, contrasting it with the Republi
can tariff, and showing that the new
tariff made by the present Democratic
feminist ration was designed in the
in"ssl J. evei7 class allke- and
without discrimination to or for any
ore. He went into the Democratic
income tax law and demonstrated that
this was just in that it offset any
loss of revenue of the government oc
casioned by the new tariff law, anJ
did not interfere with the living ex
penses of any man, because incomes
were only taxed after they exceeded
$3,000 for single men and $4,000 for
married men. In other words, before
a single man is taxed his income must
exceed $3,000 and the married man's
must exceed $4,000 before he is taxed.
This is an enormous source of reve
nue to the government, all of which
comes out of those who are able to
bear it, and is a substitute for the tar
iff tax heretofore levied, which
whom are poor men. Mr. Stacey tnen
took up the amendments to our State
Constitution proposed by the last Leg
islature, and which are to be voted
in the coming election. Mr. Stacy
was very clear in his advocacy of ill
cf these amendments. That part of
his speech will be' published in full
at a later date, and Robesonian read
ers will do well to be on the lookout
for it.

of the day discussed.
