closing paragraphs
We subjoin the
of the Senator's tenth letter, and ask
for them the perusal of all who read
this paper: h
Who is injured by pjotcctiou?
To this question it irhay be answered,
every one who is not j benefited.
Protection can only .benefit anybody, as
has been shown, bv increasing the prices
of those things which; they have to sell.
Now, if it increased ljkewise the price ol
that which they had to buy, the one
would set off 4he othe,r, and there would
be no benefit at all. j purely this is sell-
evident. To make protection a beneht
to somebodu, therefordi it must, in the ne
cessity of things, either increase the price
of their products, leaving me puce oi
their purchases thejjsamc, or it must
maintain the price uof their sales and
lower that of their, purchases. If it does
neither t does nothing; if it does cither
it injures somebody. Every man there
fore, in the United States is injured who,
having (by protection) the cost raised ot
all which he has to buy, does not also, by
the same law, have the price of all that
he has to sell increased to the same ex
tent. First and foremost, men, it injur
es all who only consqme and do not pro
duce. As they have nothing to sell, but
all their transactiohsl are purchase, it is
impossible to compensate them for their
losses by the increasfc in prices. This
large class includes the professions, mer
chants, all persons engaged in transpor
tation, personal and government service,
women, orphan children, and all who
live on fixed incomes and the like. Per
haps, however their injury is not so great
as that done to the farmers and planters,
for though the expenditure of the hrst-
namedis increased by protection, their
incomes are not necessarily diminished.
But with the fanner" both are doue. The
price of his purchases is increased, and
being compelled to sdll his surplus pro
ducts in the marketsjbf nations who can
not exchange, with us on equal terms,
the prices are necessarily lowered and
his income is thereby lessened, ne is
wasting at both the Spigot and the spile.
There is no Drooosittoil more obviously
just than that when jthe farmer is forced
to send for sale bis wheat, i.is meat anu
his cotton to Europe;,! when the price is
fixed for him by tlii competition ot tne
world, he should be permitted to buy his
supplies of wool and fron and the like in
the selt-samemai Keta at prices reguiuieu
by the same competition.
I have seen it stated by reputable au
thority that in many portions of India
recently opened up by railroads wheat
is profitably grown at a cost of five shill
ings per quarter of eight bushels ! In
competition' with tltis ''pauper '-grown
wheat our Western farmers have to sell
their wheat, produced at a cost at least
three times as great.; j British capital was
nut into these railroad, and these cheap
wheat lands of India Iwere developed be-
rnni Ens-land could not cet her bread
from our, prairies iii exchange for her
manufactured eoodithe tariff wall for-
hidriino. She would 'triad lv nave fed her
people from the riches of our plains if she
could, but all foreign commerce is ex
change, and protection forbids exchange.
The story of cotton j is the same. The
planter sells it in Liverpool in competi
tion with that grown! in all parts ot the
earth, at the "lowest figure for which
human labor can be! induced to grow it.
But he is not permitted to buy even the
jute bagging and the! iron ties which en
velop? it in the same! market cheapened
in the same way. I jThe price of those
things is fixed by baying tariff duties to
unit, the American manufacturer, oo it
is with nearly everything produced by
those who till the earth and create food
or the material of raiment, lhey are
made the patient victims of tariff taxr
tion. whose toil ffoei i to enrich the few
who control our leii3lature. In order
to keen them in civiiet submission the
keeueaihtollect of t,lie land is employed
and Daid for withi s the farmers own
money. They are pi
ed with a thousand
false arguments and
exploded theories;
their national Pride is ..appealed to, and
mean prejudices arc excited against tor-
t. . .
eigniKitioas simply
booa iso they
have
i something to sell; thfc -term " anr:
r'" is
applied to every laborer upon earth cx-
cept tnose empioyeu in our rvivicu
country, and "British gold" is said by
the slave-traders to bribe every man who
refuses to help them steal; revenue tariff
men are called "free-traders;" so bold
has become robbery that honesty has
thus become a reproach, and political
partisan hostility is freely and success
fully invoked. In this way these iniqui
ties have been enacted and maintained
until the task of removing them has
become a revolution which it will require
a generation of agitation to accomplish, j
But it will be done. To douot it is u
question the strength of justice and im-
nuen our civilization. n.ven tne last
appeal, that against the disturbing- vest
ed interests, which it so effectually made,
will lose its power to stay the nana ot
reform. For men will come to agree
with Bastiat that because wrong has
been permitted to exist for a moment is
no reason why it should endure to eter
nity. Nor does the fact that wrong is
profitable to its perpetrators give it any
further or stronger Kanction to immortal
ity. Truth and justice are entitled to live
forever.
" The most feasible hope of this refor
mation appears to me to lie in the West
and South. These sections of our coun
try are natural allies, who are only kept
from co-operation by lingering war mem
ories and the partisan political feeling
which Eastern protectionist republicans
so artfullv invite.
The chief interest of each is agricult
ural, and their productions supplement
each other. Their pursuits engeuder the
same ideas and susirest the same conser
vative nolicv. If once the inconsiderable
barriers which, separate them could be
broken down and unity of action secur
ed, their power would be sutheient to re
form the evils of tariff legislation with
ease and certainty. In fact their might.
would onlv need to be seen; it would
scarcely be required to be exercised.
It is not & pleasant sounding thing to
advise the combination of sections or
classes acrainst other sections or classes
of a common country, but as they are al
ready formed for aeirression it becomes
not only excusable, but a positive dyty
to form them for defense.
The manufacturers are few in number;
thev are persons ofgreat intelligence and
energy, ana tney are groupcuwgciuci m

naturally prompts to these combination
to regulate prices, smother competition
and influence legislation. Those who
are to be fleeced, on the contrary, are
manv in number: they embrace all the
poor and the ignorant; are widely scat
ered far and near throughout the broad
land, and with communication rare and
most imperfect. With them combina
tion and unanimity ofactionisnext thing
to the impossible. It is the case ot a
small but compactly and organized army
destroying a great unarmed, unorganiz
ed mob. The only possible way in which
these incoherent vtbtims of unjust and
unequal taxation can make their united
might felt in the legislation of their
country is to align them on principle
by indoctrinating them with the true
theory of taxation, such as is befitting a
country that professes to be free, and by
disseminating those immutable principl
es of political economy which have been
established by the experience of man
kind, and which are as much God's laws
as the law of gravitation, for they are
true, and all truth is his. An able man
has said that our motto in this great
fiirht should be sit lux. Iet ns give the
people light indeed, and especially the
toiling masses ot tne great west ana
South, who are furthest removed from
those influences which obscure the light,
and irood results will be seen. .Let no
man tire of "talking tariff." Let no man
weary of urging the vital necessity of re
form in taxation on his neighbor until
this last vestige of slavery shall be abol
ished and the commerce of the great
republic shall be free as the necessities
of the government will permit, and its
laws look to no other interest under
heaven save only that of the public.
Z. B. Vance.
The Young Democracy.
The State Chronicle pays a
high
tribute to the young Democracy o
North Carolina in these words:
' While the Chronicle would no
underrate in anv desrree the long and
effective service which was rendered by
the older Democracy in the trying
years after the war when they so glori-
ou lv redeemed the fctate from fiudica
rule, nor during recent years when
thev have so steadfastly held the vic
tory then gained, 'we desire to pay
iust tribute to the young Democrats of
North Carolina who always throw tnem
selves into the contest with an enthu
siasm born of devotion to the princi
pies of the Democratic party. They
love the party and its glorious history
and burn with indignation when tney
recall the wrongs which were heaped
hv the UeDublican party in
the day of its triumph.
Thev remember that when the peo
ple of the South and particularly o
our own State, humiliated by defeat
with poverty and desolation staring
them in the face, and when we were
bravely setting, ourselves to work to
build nr. our waste places and start
again upon the race of life, and when
we were in need of sympathy and help,
this Radical party, instead of aiding in
that work, stole the hard earned taxes
levieJ uoon a poverty stricken people,
and set its iron heel of oppression on
oar bre.tst. They can never forget the
days of terror when no woman in the
Rf i w:i ; nfp f rom the hand of the
ruffian neirroes who prowled throu
fr.o .nnntrv and. unrestrained by fear
of minishment. perpetrated outrages
.vhiVh male civilization pale and fear
destruction was at hand. They cannol
forget that the Ridical officials le
crime run not iaud encouraged ana
protected the violators of law; while
our best and truest citizens were hunted
by armed men and cast into dungeons
with the basest criiuin ils. and when
the hHjhe t court iu the "hind a
set
at defiance by a brutal soldier, upheld
by a Republican j Governor, and com
pelled to j confess itself powerless to
protect the citizens.
They cihnot forget, that era of de
bauchery land I theft, when legislation
was bought and old, and when, made
rich by iljgottn gain, Ihe Radical crew
fared sumptuously and rioted extrava
gantly at the expense of our stricken
land. j '
The young bin of North Carolina
do not desire office. They seldom ask
a nomination.: i out with an earnest
ness born of intense conviction, they
fight Radicalism: and advocate the con-
muance !of Democratic supremacy as
the only hope; of preserving the good
name of heir State and the happiness
of its people, j They feel in their in
most nearts, witn tne keenest encum
brance of evils long ago inflicted but
the memory of which can .never d!e,
that the greatest disgrace which could
come upon them would be the return
of radical supremacy and its insepara
ble concomitant of negro rule. Not
that they entertain enmity to the ne
gro as such but the experience of the
past has. taught that when ignorance
rules tne people mourn, and that a
party made up of negroes, withio
and then a white leader, who uses
them as! he will to promote his own
unscrupulous and ambitious schemes
j I L 1 1 ill
can never De successiui Dut at tne sac
rifice of the best interests of the com
munityJ The young white men of
North Carolina, and one can seldom be
found whoas not a Democrat, cannot
now nor can; they ever consent that
the Republican party shall return to
power, nntu tne ranic and me of that
party shall become as intelligent, as
virtuou? andi as capable of exercising
the rights of citizens as are the Demo-
crane vpiers,; nor until mere is more
t tr . . t
honesty and character exhibited by the
leaders of thatpartvl
i neyj believe most earnestly that the
legislation of such a party, tive-3ixths
of which consists of negroes, managed
and controlled by the leaders now at
its heat), could not but be dangerous
to the State and they have
fears that such legislation would be
reckless, corrupt and ruinous to the
interests of the people. . They
nave seen what itadicaiism did in
the past and j they will never trust it
in the' future. Hence it is the young
men of North Carolina will walk in
their fathers footsteps and, with al
the energy, ! earnestness and enthusi
asm of their nature, labor untiringly
to prevent the disgrace which always
threatens but which can never over
whelm us as long as the brave and
noble young manhood of North Caro
lina shall stand up in its invincible
strength and do battle for the honor
and safety and prosperity of the State.

A Remarkable Duel
TWO MEN AT BALDWrv wrrn mrvor x-rT
AFRAID TO FACE DEATH.
On the 12th day of June, isna l
witnessed a duel between Cant. .Tone
commanding a Federal scout, and
Lapt, J?ry,j commanding a Confederate
scout, in Green county, East Tennessee.
These two men had been fiffhtinsr enrh
other for six months, with the fortunes
of battle in favor of one and then the
other, iheir commands were camped
on either side of Lick Creek, a larw
and sluggish stream, too deep to ford,
and to shallow for a ferry boat: bnt
bridge spanned the stream for
the convenience of the traveling public.
aacn oi tnem guarded this bruize that
communication should eo neither
North nor South, as the railroad track
had been broken up months before.
After fighting each other sevAml
months and contesting the points as
to which should hold the bridge, thev
agreed to fight a duel, the conqueror
to hold the bridge, undisputed for the
time oeing. Jones gave the challenge,

that they should fight with navy pis
tols at twenty yards anarL deliherafplr
walking toward each' other, and firing
until the last chamber of their pistols
were discharged, unless one or the
other fell before all the discharges
were made. They chose their second;.
ana agreed upon a Confederate surereon
(as he was the only one in either com
mand) to attend them m case of dan
ger. .
Jones was certainly a fine looking
fellow, with light hair and blue eyes,
five feet ten inches in height, looking
ccij iucii nie military cneittain. H
was a man the soldiers would admire
and ladies regarded with admiration
l never saw a man more cool, deter
mined and heroic under such circum
stances. I have read of the deeds of
chivalry and knight errantly in the
middle ages, and brave men embalmed
in modern posey; but, when I saw
Jones come to the duelists' scratch
hgnttng, not for real or . snnnrvuxl
wrongs to himself, but, as he honestly
thought, foi his country and the glory
of the flag, I could not help admiring
the man, notwithstanding he fought
for the freedomot the negro, which I
was opposed to.
Fry was a man full six feet high,
slender, with long wavy curly hair, jet
black eyes, wearing a slouched hat and
gray suit, and looking rather the dem
on than the man.
There was nothing ferocious about
him; but he had that self-sufficien
non-chalance that said. "I will kill
you." Without a doubt he was
brave, cool and collected, and although
suffering from a terrible flesh wound in
his left arm, received a week before, he
manifested no symptoms of distress.

ihe ground wa; stepped off by the
seconds, pistols loaded and exchanged,
and the principals brought face to

mood, as they shook hands remarked

ry caught up the rest of the sen
tence and answered by savintr ;
LYet he bends over the foe when in

They turned around and walked
back to the point designated. Jones1

slowly said, "One two three fire f
they simultaneously turned at the
word "One," and instantly 'fired, Nei
ther was hurt. They cocked their pis
tols, and deliberately walked toward
each other, firing as they went. At the
fifth shot, Jones threw up his right
hand, and firing his pistol in the air,

ing his shot; but, seeing Jones fall,
silently lowered his pistol,. dropped it
on the ground, and sprang to Jones'
side, taking his head in his lap as he
sat down, and asked him if he was
hurt.

bullet glancing around the organ, and
coming out to the left ot the spinal

Fry received three wounds one
breaking his right arm, one in the left,
and the other in right side. After
months, of suffering begot well, and
fought the war out to the bitter end.
