Thursday, August 16, 1894: Fusion didn't seen to work well in Tennessee and Alabama. Both those States went Democratic by large majorities. Perhaps the Popu lists, in North Carolina are already thinking that it would be better to go it alone. - P;:llman has commenced work ag. inand many of the strikers are asking to be taken back. Over seventeen hundred are already . at work.iand the chances are that more w'll return just as soon as Pullman gives the word. After all, what did the strikers gain ? Senatorial primaries are not needed in counties that are to have primary elections. The whole ques tion of Senators can be decided at the polls by individual counties. The question is not dead.but it is more ex pedient to allow the counties to settle the matter themselves. Monday evening the House by a majority of over seventy voted to en dorse the Senate bill. That bill now goes to the President , for his signa ture which will likely be given this week. The whole country can now breathe easier and business will re sume its accustomed channels. There are in North Carolina now about 2S,ooo members of the Farmer.-' Alliance, which is some twelve hundred greater than last year. The order is not growing much, but it seems to be holding its own very well. There .is nothing dangerous or wicked in the organiza tion that we know of. -Capt. Ashe retired from the edi torial management ot the News & Observer last Saturday. Capt. Ashe has impressed himself upon North Carolina journalism as. a safe and sound counselor. The( State press loses much by his retirement. We hope he will soon return to the work that he has followed so long. There is no telling what will be the result of the "popgun," bills that passed the I louse Monday night. The house seen s to be making a tre mendous effort to secure the' features of the Wilson bill that were rejected by the Senate. The idea in passing the single feature bills is to enlist as much strength for each one as may be possible. The probability is that they will be strangled by the Senate Immediately after the Senate bill was passed by the House, Hon W. L. Wilson introduced four bills for free sugar.free iron, free coal, and free barbed wire respectively. They all passed by large majorities. . The sugar bill passed by a vote of 276 to 11, seven Democrats from Louisana and two from Massachusetts, and two Republicans voting against it The vote on that subject shows that the country is almost a unit for free sugar, only those directly interested in the sugar industry voting against it. In anothr place in this issue we have endeavored to make some cor rect comparisons on the the tariff bill on the wool schedule. We are indebted to the Richmond Dispatch for an article, clipped by that paper from the Cincinnati Enquirer for rnuch of the information that we have used. We think the comparisons are strickly in accordence with the case. If oneVantsto inform himself upon the present condition of tariff legislation, the article in question would contribute something to aid him. Next week the Democratic, con vention of the Second Congressional district will meet in Rocky Mount. Hop. F, A. Woodard is almost sure of a renomination, but there is op position in Edgecombe and Halifax. It would be a graceful thing if Edge combe's favorite and W. H. Day of Halifax would withdraw from the race and give their strength to Woodard and make his- nomination unanimous. Mr. Woodard deserves a renomination, and the voters of the district, , we think, would be "better satisfied with Mr. Woodard as the standard bearer than any other man. Gorm an was all smiles Monday evening alter the House accepted the Senate bill. The big Senator from Maryland almost forgot the indigna tion ofriis constituents in the joy of the moment. . It is now thought the popgun tariff bills will never come to a vote in the Senate. Mr. Carlisle says they would produce a deficit of over i $43,000,000. liut then Mr. anisic may be mistaken. At any rate tne Senate seems disposed to let the tariff matter rest now. Sunday the News & Observer came out in a new dress. It is now controlled by a stock company, mem bers of which are found in various sections of the State. Josephus Daniels is managing editor, W. E. Christian and F. L. Merritt associates. The design is to make the paper the leading daily in th'e State. Representatives of a Western Syndicate have been prospecting in Nash County for sometime and we learn that a bargain has' about been completed which will make the trans fer of much real estate to the western company of which Senator Jones of Nevada is the principal. If the bar gain is perfected several hundred thousand dollars will find its way into the pockets ot the Nash County people. Much real estate and two or three gold mine are involved in the deal. .We don't know particu lars, out have understood that the deal has about been made. , SOME COMPARISONS. So many harsh things have been said about the new tariff bill which has just passed both houses that one would be led to believe it to be a very bad measure. Yet with a proper comparison with the McKinley law some very important reforms can be seen at once. . The bill is not perfect. No tariff bill has ever passed Congress that suited all sections, and we could probably add that none ever will. Air measures of that kind must always be the result of compromise. This country is so large and its industries so varied that it , is impossible to make legislation entirely satisfactory to all sections. Following we ' give some comparisons between the McKinley law and the present tarin bill. Ihe j comparisons are on tnose . 1 which come mostly into daily use, but about the same ratio will be maintained throughout: Clothes, woolen or wosst'ed. valued not over 30 cents a pound: Mc Kin ley law, 163 per cent, ad valorem; Senate bill 40 per cent.; clothes val ued from 30. to 40 cents a pound: McKinley law, 1 14.86 per cent, ad va lorem; Senate bill 40 per cent; reduc tion on clothes over 55 per cent. Shawls, valued at 30 to 40 cents a pound: McKinley rate, 150.30 per cent.; Senate bill 35 per cent.; shawls valued above 40 cents a pound; Mc ' Kinley rate 8S.60 per cent.; Senate S bill 40 per cent.; reduction on shawls over 65 per cent Knit fabrics valued at 30 to 40 -ciils t uuuuu ivierviiJiey raie, 10 , a. i. t. : 1 lor nnf Cnnnfn L?I1 - . . .

Cloaks, dolmans, jackets, ulcers, ladies and child rens apparel: McKin ley rate, 81 per cent.;. Senate, bill, 45 per cent.; reduction 38 per cent. Carpets of wool, or partly woob McKinley rate 50 per cent.;. ; Senate bill, 30 per cent; Brussels -Carpets: McKinley rate, 1.50 per cent.; Sen ate bill 40 per cent.; carpets of cot ton: McKinley rate, 50 per cent; - - . i Senate bill 30 per cent.; reduction on carpets over 40 per cent. By noting the foregoing compa:: sons it will seen that in the wool schedule there is a reduction on an average oi over fifty per cent. Many things-, it will be noticed, have a re duction of seventy per cent. That schedule is of more impor tance in estimating the burdens ot taxation than any other. It will be seen that in the Senate bill the tax is levied without discrimination, unless there is a slight discrmination in fa vor of the buyer of cheap good:. Who can say, in light of these facts, that the bill is such a monster as it is rt'prented by some Democrat ic newsp ipers ? It is true that there are so ne very objectionable leaiures in it, but they are balanced by some other good ones in other places. .Next week we shall give ijme more o ;ip:ir:sons and so on un'.:I we go through the greater p?-t of the bill. In our opinion it is as good a bill as could be gotten now. If the two or three feature" that ma'te it objectionable to Noi.h C-ro'in"- were e'iminated, it would be the be t tariff bi'l ever p s-rd by i 1 Ameri r n Congress. As it is, it is 'ie L ?st that hrs passed since the W?'':t; tiriffbill in ante-bellum days. NOIiril CAROLINA ON SlLVKK. North Carol. na never spe.iks equiv ocally, especially North Carolina Democrats. They never word their party platform in a manner that re quires a Philadelphia lawyer to un ravel its meaning. Whether it is be cause they haven't sense enough to conceal meaning under a weight of verbiage or because they haven't political sagacity enough to dicker with the people, we know not. It is quite plain that the utmost ef fort was made at the State convention, last week, to make the position of NorthCarolina Democrats on the sil ver question soplain that a disgrun ed office seeker may not even, misunder stand. It is as clear a statement as could be written, and there is no chance to misunderstand. The unequivocal declaration in fa vor of the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 is made. There is no subsidiary or explanatory clauses to vitiate the statement. It is a fact be yond theshidow of a doubt that the North CarolinaDemocracy has placed itself upon record as in favor of such speedy legislation that will put silver on a basis equal in all respects to gold. There is nothing said about international agreement or safe guards of legislation. It is just a plain decla ration that any one is capable of read ing and understanding. That part, of the platform, com- menas useu to an uemocrats. it is true that some in the convention dis sented from that part of the platform, but the dissent was not sufficient 10 command a following. It was the dissent of a small minority.; The great majority of Democrats in this State are truly and unquestionably in iavor 01 iree s yer. 1 nere is a greaj and grand reason as to why North j Carolina Democrats choose at.this time to be screxDlicit in the decl.ira tion ab()Ut siiver Ever since the u: i r . , l ' n ni.u lUIV. nave Deen ainerences ot , opinion about what he docu ment said m re gard to silver. There is a gold bug analysis of its meaning and there is a Southern interpretation; and the two are as different as if two platforms were written in one. North Carolina Democrats inter preted it as soon as the instrument was given to the public, and there has been no change in opinion. This is the first time the party in this State has had a chance to declare, its inter pretation of its meaning and they have boldly done so. There is not one streak of cowardice, or of com promise in it. In every respect the platform is broad enough for al the stamp of sincerity . ! 7 lemocrais. now can unit? upon that platform, because it em bodies the principles of Democracy without any of the loop holes by which artful politicians can distract the meaning, This much at least can be said: If North Carolina Dem ocrats had the shapingiof matters in their hands, silver would be safe. A Flye Dollar Dispute. The sum of $5 has been playng a very amusing part in the relations between Representative Bryan, of Nebraska, and Mr. Clark, the architect of the Capitol. Not long ago Mr. Bryan appeared m Mr. Clark's office with a stranger, who said he was in needy circumstances. He had impressed Mr. Bryan with his sad and woful tale so deeply, in deed, that the Nebraskan, after mak ing several efforts to find a place for hire, thought of the architect. He asked Mr. Clark to give the man work for a few days, and it happened that the architect had an opening for the stranger. Mr. Bryan was so delighted with the success of h:s charitable enterprise that he handed the stranger a crisp $5 note, request ing him in the presence of the archi tect to hand it back to Mr. Clark when he was paid tor bis work. The ' . -. r..in : j seeay sirauga gincum piuuiiacu to do so, ana 3ir. viatic promised to receive it and hold it for Mr. Bryan :n escrow. Then he put jthe stranger to work, and Mr. Bryan returned to his seat in the House to indulge in sweet fancies over his Senatorial prospects. That ungrateful stranger worked one hour, and then disappeared from the scene of action as mysterously as if he had dissolved in air. The $5 note also disappeared. The incident began to prey upon the mind of Architect Clark. Any one who knows that gentleman caa testiry that he is the incarnation of kindness and benevolence. The mote he thought over the matter the more convinced fie became that he was responsible for Mr. Bryan's loss in not placing the stranger under proper survei'lance. He, quietly folded a $5 b;il in an envelope, and sent it to Bryan with a letter of ex planation. Mr. Bryan declined to accept the money, but as the archi tect would not take it back, it became an issue. ' The matter was in suspense until yesterday, when the Nebraskan of fered a compromise- He had been appealed to for a ch;ritable donation, rnd now proposed to setf1e the ques tion regarding the $5 bill by each assuming half of the loss incurred by the stranger's dishonesty. An agree ment on tb"s basis was soon reached, and the matter is settled. Washing ton Post. TIIK TA III FF 1JILL At last the House has taken the Tariff matter out of the hands of the conferees and settled it by adopting the bill, as amended by the Senate. This secures to the country a mark ed reduction in the tariff, compared with, the present, McKinley, bill. The bill covers all material points with the exception of iron, coal, and sugar. The duty upon these articles still remain but the House h: s not given up all hope of securing these articles for the free list. This end is to be reached by seperate . bills. This action of the House is to be commended, in as much as it settles this matter and even should the bill to put iron, coal, and sugar on the free list fail to pass the Senate, we will still have a great reduction in the tariff, and the country at lerge will be m a position to go ahead and revive trade. Mr. Wonilartl Knlrseil. Editor Wilson Advance: Why should there be any opposi tion to he renomination of Fred Woodard, is a question I dv..ire to aslr. seriously of the voters of the Second Dist. ct Can it be that he has failed to perform his duties? If that be so, let his accuser stand up before the people nd prefer his charge. Flattering notice by the press of the counti is an evidence of the high standing he his taken in Washington. Hav'ng been invited a few weeks ago to deliver an address before the Democratic Inter-5-tate I ag le, one of the h ading papers of the State had the following notice: Congressman F- A- Woodardj of the Second Dis trict of North Carolina, made, by in vitation, last Saturday night, rspeech before the Inter-stite Democratic Association of Washington City, and it is spoken of by those who heard it as a ina ilncent effort It is highly praised by d:s.;ngu'shed men, and while it gratifies us to hear this, it is not surpris-ng. Mr. Woodard is a gentleman of fine ability as well rs high character. He ;s an industrious and effective Ccntrtrsman, and if permitted to slay there long enough will make his mark in the House. The W;!nington Meaienger, in a recent editorial, said of our able rep resentative; "Without using flatte., we have an impression that ; i pi"-e 'ntellect, common sense, and integrity of character, he is the fu'l peer of any representative from North Carolina." Another leading paper, in an edi torial, has this to say of Mr. Wood ard: "Although it is his first term "n Congress, Mr. Woodard has been higl-'y honored both by the speaker oi the House and by h.s fellow mem bers. He is a member of the Com mittee on Privileges and Elections, one of the most important oi the House committees and one which is always composed of 'ie ablest law yers in the halls of Congress. He is a me-riber for this State of the Con gress onal Executive, Committee, which is p charge of 'e Congres sional campaign for the country at large. It is something remarkable for a new member to be thus highly honored. But more than all this, Mr Woodard has always voted and worked for the measures which bis constituents desired to be enacled in to law. Even his political enemies are constrained to admit that hjs course has been right. In a speech made by Mr.' Kitchin, now a leader of the Popu'ists, he made the follow ing acknowledgment: The rar'j ?nd file of the Democratic party, is right Most of your Congressmen are light, and Mr. Woodard h:-s voted right. If you had sent Mr. Bu er to Congress, he could have done no raoreth?n Mr. Woodard. What more could we ?sk, what more could a sepre.;entative do than to tru'y redact the jiews of his corst'tuerf's? The voters of the Dis trict owe it to themselves to renomi nate and elect Mr. Woodard. Now, Mr. Editor, h: he failed to vote for an y measure pledged by the Democracy at Chicago? H's record is an apwer. An ardefit supporter of the Wilson Bill, opposed to- the rep a cf he She man Act, without some promised recognition on. the pan 01 the Administration e. to s:lver, enthusiastically favoring the repeal ot the ten per cent, tax on State banks, he shows that he is a true friend of the people and an ardent supporter of true Jefforsonian Democracy. - Then, Mr. Editor, common justice demands it. It is an unwritten law in the District that every worthy man should he given a second term. I want it understood that it is because of his faithfulness and adherence to party principles, that his friends : for his renomiration. We 'have an abiding faith in the justice r nd w s dom of the people. Justice. To Clenxe tli Syt-iu.
