WILSON, WILSON COUNTY, N.
BILL ARP'S LETTER.
THE ETEBNA1 FLAG QUESTION BOBS
UP SERENELY.
This Time Gen. Palmer Has His Say, and
Gets Heaps of Ridicule for His Pains
All of Which is as It Should Be.
When a great man belittles himself
it is a pitiful spectacle. I don't know
that General Palmer is a great man,
but he is in a notable position, and
must have been of good fighting rep
utation, or he wouldn't have been put
at the head of the Grand Army of
the Republic. Since he has exhibi
ted his lack of bigness, I have tried
to spot him, but can't. John Mc
Cauley Palmer was a major general,
and became Governor of Illinois ; but
this man signs his nams John Palmer,
Maybe he is the same man or his
son shrunk up. Of course he is a
politician, or he never would have
issued such a big bulletin about such
a litde thing as that old Confederate
flag. A big-hearted, broad-minded
soldier would have smiled and said :
"Oh, well that doesn't amount to
anything. Let the boys get out their
flags and air them once in a while if
they wish to. They don't mean any
harm by it. We can't force them to
smother their memories. We have
had re-unions at Chattanooga and
other place down South, and the boys
in blue and the boys in gray came
together and wore their old uniforms.
When Ben Hill's statue was uncov
ered a few years ago, General Long
street rode in the procession and had
on his old confederate uniform. I
don't suppose anybody doubts his
loyalty to the Union. The South
has built monuments to their Conled
ate dead, and have pensioned their
widows and the one-armed, one
legged, one-eyed veterans, and it is
all right. There is no treason in it.
These demonstrations come from
loyal, patriotic hearts and are tributes
to valor and suffering. We can't
suppress that, and we ought not to
wish to. The best way to bind a
nation together is with kindness, and
not with force, or threats, or abuse.
They are a great people down South
a' brave people and this nation
will need their help sooner or later.
Let them bring out an old tattered,
bullet torn flag once in a while.
Every hole in it is a compliment to
us, and to them, too. We are all
friends now, and if the Rebs want to
brae: a little once in a while, let them
do it. That's all they have got left
the poor privilege of bragging, and
that ought" to be accorded to every
vanquished foe."
A noble hearted man would have
talked that way and the world would
have endorsed it, but this small mali
cious creature is always hunting for an
insult and he wants to keep himself
before the people. He is afraid that
they will forget him, and so ever and
anon he flies to his inkstand and
issues a bulletin wants a bigger
office, I reckon. He and his sort are
the fellows who raised such a racket
when Mr. Cleveland wanted to give
back our flags.
We were never engaged in a more
righteous service than we were that
day in honoring Henry Grady, and
it was all because of his efforts for
peace blessed peace between the
North and South. But for those two
speeches that electrified the nation,
there would have been no monument,
no statue.no speeches, no procession,
no flags. Grady's father was a soldier
and the son was proud of it, and said
so in New York and in Boston, and
it would not have been unfitting if
the flag the father had followed had
been placed unfolded at the feet of
the son.
A great heart never hunts lor an
insult. It is the nature , of some
selfish, sordid, envious dispositions
to be continually on the lookout for
something to hawk at something
to construe maliciously. Those are
the people who have what the law
calls malice aforethought, and they
can get up more devilment in a com
munity than all other classes put
together. Some Northern papers
have been sent me containing a copy
of the prayer delivered by Rev.
Father Picherit at the unveiling of
the Confederate monument at Jack
son, Miss. They call it "outrageous
blasphemy." It is not blasphemy,
for there is nothing irreverent to God
or sacred things in it ; but he is the
most constructed rebel I have read
after in a long time. It reminds me
of some of the prayers we used to
hear about the beginning of the war
when our preachers thought that
Providence was on our side and we
were just obliged to whip in the fight.
Father Picherit and General Palmer
nncrht to be out on a committee of
two to make up a treaty of peace be
tween the North and the South.
Wouldn't the fire fly ? I would bet
on the preacher, though, for he is an
Irishman, and if he couldent convert
the general one way he would an
other. One of these northern papers gives
a list of the national cemeteries.
There are eighty two of them, and
the largest is at Vicksburg, and has
16,620 graves. The number in all is
327,169 and probably , seventy-five
thousand more in private burying
grounds. It costs the government
60 cents a year for each soldier, and
this makes about two hundred thous
and dollars a year, and the South
pays a third of it, and has been pay
ing it for twenty-five years. Not a
dollar of it is expended upon the
graves of our dead ; and yet some of
their conservative people talk about
love and friendship and President
Harrison said in his speech that "We
are now a united people, and all have
equal rights and privileges." What
a'burlesque on equality.
But it fatigues our indignation to
dwell on this subiect this national
neglect of the confederate dead. I
reckon maybe General Palmer will
let lis fix up their graves and put up
a monument or two to commemorate
their valor, even it is treason.

Suit Against the N. C. Kailroad.
A correspondent at Rocky Mount
writes the Wilmington Star :
Last week F. Y. Ramsey, of
Rocky Mount, purchased an excur
sion ticket from here to Raleigh for
$2.25 for the round trip. On his way
from Goldsboro to Raleigh he was
put off the train at Selma, the con
ductor telling him his ticket was no
good and demanding the pay to Ral
eigh from Goldsboro. The next train
came along and Mr. Ramsey asked
the conductor if the conductor if the
ticket upon which he had been re
jected was good and was told that it
was. Instead of giving up the ticket
he had been rejected on, Mr. Ramsey
paid his way and now has brought
suit against the N. C. railroad for
damages.
Catarrh, Not Local, Hut Constitutional.
Dr. Dio Lewis, the eminent Bos
ton physician, in a magazine article
says: "A radical error underlies
nearly all medical treatment of
catarrh. It is not a disease of the
man's nose ; it is a disease of the
man, showing itself in the nose a
Local exhibition of a Constitutional
trouble." Therefore, he argues, the
use of snuff and other local applica
tions is wrong, and while they seem to
give temporary relief, they really do
more harm than good. Other lead
ing authorities agree with Dr. Lewis.
Hence, the only proper method of
cure for catarrh is by taking a con
stitutional remedy like Hood's Sar-
sapanlla, which, reaching every part
of the body through the blood, does
eliminate all impurities and makes
the whole man healthier. It removes
the cause of the trouble and restores
the diseased membrane to proper
condition. That this is the practical
result is proven by thousands of
people who have been cured of
catarrh by taking Hood's Sarsapa
rilla.

Official Figures Showing; What Protection
Has Bone for the Country and What Free
Trade Did Especially Interesting Fig
ures as to "Mill Workers in North Caro
lina Under the Two Systems.
The protection bunco-steerers of
North Carolina organized at Ashville
in July last an association for mutual
protection in tariff robbery, and un
der date of September 14, this asso
ciation issued an appeal to all bunco
steerers and believers in theft to aid
in the organization of local bands of
bunco-steerers in every North Caro
lina township, to swindle the "farmer,
the laborer and the mechanic" into
voting fcV protection. On the back
of this circular are seventeen reasons
why the latter should believe in the
robbery of the farmers by the mill
owners, of which the first ten are
enough to copy :
1. The protective policy has built up
towns and cities throughout the coun
try. 2. It has doubled our foreign trade
since 1860, and stimulated domestic
production beyond calculation.
3. It has expanded, diversified and
multiplied the useful industries
throughout the Union.
4. It has increased our manufactures
fivefold in twenty years.
5. It ;has vastly improved the condi
tion of farm laborers, in respect alike
to wages and to the marketable value
of their products.
6. It has applied our own labor to the
development of our natural resources.
7. It has created a diversity of em
ployments for American skilled and
unskilled labor.
8. It has reduced, through home
competition, the price of every manu
factured article.
9. It has turned capital into 10,000
useful channels of enterprise.
10. It puts 90 per cent of the annual
product into the pockets of labor.
Each one is an intentional mis
statement of fact, intended to delude
and deceive the voters of North
Carolina in other words, a lie, told
deliberately and in cold blood.
The first of these lies is too patent
for reply, but the second is one of
the meanest kind known, being a
suppression of the truth. Our foreign
trade more than doubled in the free
trade era ot ten years between 1850
and i860 with wooden sailing ships,
before steam and iron made cheap
freights. Turn to the report of the
Treasury Department for 1890, page
29, "Commerce and Navigation" :
1S50 Exports of merchan
dise $134,900,253
i860 Exports of merchan
dise 316,242,423
Increase $171,342,200
Per cent, of increase, 127.
Now compare this with ten years'
trade under protection, on the same
page, and see which increases trade :
1SS0 Exports of merchan
dise .$823,946,353
1890 Exports of merchan
dise S45, 293,82s
Increase $21,347,475
Per cent, of increase, 2.
But the actual net increase of $171, -342,200
under free trade and of only
$21,347,475 under protection does not
tell the whole story these bunco
steerers hide from their victims.
What has. been the actual increase
in the past nine years ?
1S81 Exports of merchan
dise $SS3.925,o47
1890 Exports of merchan
dise ? 845,293,82s
Decrease
Per cent of loss, 4.
But what would
3S,6;
,119
have been our
free trade and
foreign trade under
without this protection theft ?
Take
the figures and estimate :
1S50 $134,900,223
1S60 316,241,200
1870 714.026,361
1880....:" 5339
1890 3,400,000,000
These figures- are not imaginary.
Between 1850 and i860, under the
"free trade era," were increasing
our foreign trade much faster than
England. It was our free trade that
protection England adopted in i860.
England's exports in 1S80, with one
half our population, were $1,393,835,
909, and the only reason why ours
were not very much greater was the
adoption of England's discarded pro
tection rags in 1865, which choked
our foreign trade and made it de
crease $38,632,1 19 in the past nine
years, when protection got in its
finest work. These facts are submit
ted for the benefit of any North Caro
lina "farmer, laborer or mechanic"
who maybe approached by one of
these bunco-steerers or protection
thieves with reason No. 2.
Take the fourth lie. Turn to page
931 of the Compendium of the Tenth
Census the latest official figures.
The capital invested in manufactures
is given as follows :
1850 $ 533.245,351
i860 1,000,855,715
I880..... 2, 890, 272,606
, The same increase under protection
that we had under free trade would
have given us over $4,000,000,000.
The capital invested doubled in ten
years under free trade and has only a
little more than doubled under twen
ty years of protection. In the cold
search light of the census what be
comes of any five-fold increase ?
But some one may say that the
value of the product has increased :
1850 $1,019, 106,615
1S60 1,885,361,676
1870 4,232,325,442
1880 5,369,579r9i
Our manufactures nearly doubled
in ten free trade years before the
war. They more than doubled under
the stimulus of the ten years of the
civil war, but since then, under the
ten years of full protection, where is
there any increase that can compare
with them, even making an allow
ance of 20 per cent, for the inflated
values of 1870 ?
Take the ninth lie. The actual
26th, 1891.
number of establishments in the
United States in 1S70 was 252,148.
After ten years of full protection in
1880 there were 253,852 an increase
ot only 1 ,604 shops.- Take the ten
free trade years. In 1850 there wer
123,025 : in i860 there were 140,433
an increase of 17,40s shops.
What has protection done for man
ufacturers in North Carolina ? Here
is the record for the past four
decades, taken from page 928 of the
census :

Workers 12,601 13,217

Wages.... $2,195,711 $2,740,768
V al e of product $19,021,327 $20,095,037
This table will bear careful study.
There has been a steady increase in
the capital invested, the value of
product and the workers employed,
but there has been no corresponding
increase in wages. In i860 the 14,
218 employees earned $2,686,441 un
der free trade, and in iSSothe 18,109
employees earned only $2,740,768.
The average yearly earnings in 1850
were $192, and 1880 only $151.
Protection Had Reduced Wages in North
Carolina Over 30 Per Cent.
But study this table and see what
protection has done for the protected
North Carolina employer. In 1S60
the employer paid practically the
same wages as in 1880, but the value
of his product has increased . over 20
per cent., and the numbers of his
workers has increased over 20 per
cent. He has increased his working
force, finding employment for Over 20
per cent, more people, by ' reducing
wages over 20 per cent., thus secur
ing over 20 per cent, extra product
without increasing the labor colt.
The bunco-steerers of the North
Carolina Protective Tariff League
should buy up all the copies 01 the
last census in that State before begin
ning active work. A copy of it ac
cidentally in the possession of a man
approached by the steerer might re
suit injuriously to the latter.
Take the last lie. Protection can
only give work to one American by
takine it from another American-
unless we are a nation of thieves and
pirates, stealing what we import. If
what we import is the product of
American labor, foreign wages paid
us for producing a farm surplus, then
to compel us to make here what our
surplus farm labor produces is to
throw that surplus farm labor out of
work to supply mill labor with it.
The farm product is 100 per cent, in
the pockets of labor it is all wages,
eyery cent of it. If protection puts
90 per cent, in the pockets of mill la
bor it takes 100 percent out of the
pockets of farm labor to do it, and
puts 10 per cent, in the pockets of
the mill owner. It robs one American
to give to another.
I challenge any bunco-steerer in
North Carolina to defend any one of
the "seventeen reasons" for protec
tion, and to show by official facts and
figures that any one of them is not a
bunco-steer. Not one will accept the
challenge ; for, knowing himself to
be a fraud and a swindler, he never
approaches with his bunco any man
who has or can obtain the exact facts,
or can test what he says by the census
or Treasury reports. He works quiet
ly, selecting for his victims the 'igno
rant, the vicious and the depraved.
For their private eye he Has forged
tables of all kinds and cheap asser
tions which he dare not make public
to an intelligent audience.
North Carolina has been selected to
work up the protection bunco. Let
us compare the wages paid in a few
protected industries in that State
with the wages oaid in others, and"
see the reason. Turn to the census.
In North Carolina 3,232 workers in
forty-nine dotton mills in 1880 earned
a total ol $426,60, and average of
$2.61 per week. In New Jersey 4,179
workers earned $1,156,961. an aver
age of $5.60 a week, while the work
men in Massachusetts averaged $4.97,"
and in New Hampshire $5.68.
The workers in 49 woolen mills in
North Carolina, in 1880, earned an
average of $2.41 a week. In the 34
mills of Iowa they averaged $4.54.
In the nine woolen mills in California
they averaged $7.69. In the 44 mills
of Vermont they averaged $5.12. In
the 27 mills of New Jersey, $5.66.
In iron and steel the same discrep
ancies exist. The laborers in North
Carolina's -20 shops earned an average
of $2.42 per week. In Indiana's 12
shops, $8.17 per week. In Connecti
cut's 19 shops, $9.31 per week.
Take bloomeries and forges: North
Carolina stands fourth on the list of
States in this protected industry.
Its workmen average $2.40 a week
against 7-10 Per week in Pennsylva
nia, $7 in Missouri, $6.56 in Virginia,
$6.10 in New York. North Carolina
has pauper labor to use. In the pro
tected industries in North Carolina
lower wages are paid than in any oth
er State in the Union and lower wages
