To count up the niati rial r.-siilt ac

bling block in almost every liiu of prog
ress, such a reckoning must be anything
but pleasant.
Is it true, however, that Dr. York was
a stumbling block and an obstacle to Dem
ocratic, progress and prosperity ? To this
important question we propose to make no
answer ourselves, but to let Pr. York'
r.i'ord, just a he himself made it, tell the
whole story.

work.
AIIAISKT THE WESTERN NORTH CARO
LINA RAILROAD.
lu 187(i-'77 Dr. York was a member
of the Senate. On January 21th, 1877,
the "bill to provide for the speedy com
pletion of the Western North Carolina
Railroad" was taken up on it second
reading. (See Senate Journal 137ti-'77,
page L'J.) A proposition was offered to
appropriate SI 10.01111 fur the road, ami
Dr. i ork moved to amend as follows:
'Strike out one hundred and forty-thousand
dollars and inseit one dollar." One
dollar! His amendment was voted down.
Au amendment was ollered by Senator J.
I,. Robinson, allowing the Governor to
purchase such iron rails and materials as
might be needed each year. Failing iu his
one dollar proposition," Dr. York moved
to limit the amount of this expenditure to
850.000 a year. Mr. Troy moved to
make the limit f 70,0(111. Dr. York voted
against Mr. Troy's amendment, which,
however, was adopted, and then he voted
against .Mr. Robinsons proposition as
amended by Mr. Troy's.
On this reading Dr. York voted against
the bill.
"On page 1101, of the same Senate
Journal, this bill came up on the third
reading.
Dr. York moved to strike out "seventy
thousand" and insert "fifty thousand" as
the amount that could be spent to buy
iron, c, each year. I lis motion was
lost. He then ollered u proviso, limit
ing its operation to two years. The road
could not be built for. $140,000, and
could not be built in two years, and yet he
offered the proviso. On its third reading
Dr. York again voted sijuarely against
the bill.
If Dr. York had controlled the Dem
ocratic party the Western North Carolina
Railroad would have stopped at Old Fort.
It would never have crossed the liioiiu
taiiis. He would have denied to the peo
ple across the Hlue Ridge all hope of
opening up the country to the world.
Such was his statesmanship. Hut this
policy did not triumph. The Democrat
ic party was not governed by such narrow
conceptions of justice to the West. They
appropriated 870,000 annually and car
ried the work on slowly and practically,
and substantially that great road is built.
Aud every cent of that money, with the
interest on it, has been paid back into the
State treasury; and because it ha been
paid back into the Slate treasury there are
to be no taxes this year. So thu work
costs us nothing.
Now, let lis see the benefits. The
counties that have been directly bene
fited by this road arc, up to the present.

We make below a comparison of the

York could not be induced to vote for

The old bonded debt of the State was
compromised by tho Legislature at it
session in 1879, at which time Dr. York
was a member of the House of Represen
tative. Dr. York-voted squarely against
tho compromise. (Sec House Journal,
18711, pages 581! and 602.)
Thu plan for the exchange of the old
North Carolina Railroad construction
bond for new ones was perfected by the
same Legislature, and Dr. York voted
squarely against the arrangement made
in regard to them also. (See House

TlltE. Nor did the department find favor in
Dr. York's eyes, for he voted squarely
against the bill establishing it. The pos

lay before it as a help to the fanner, a
promoter of the manufactures', as devel
oper of our mineral resources, of the phos
phates and coal iu particular, a finder of
markets for our woods and timber, lit.,
had no charm for him. He cared for
none of these things; at least, voted
against the department. (Sec Senate
Journal, lS7(i-'77, page 580.)

The Western North Carolina Railroad
was unable to command Dr. York's vote,
'flic Cape Fear iV Yadkin Valley Rail
road was unable to command it. The
proposition to settle the State debt was
equally powerless to uo so, anil so was
the department of agriculture. Hut these
were material measures that made no ap
peal to the instincts of Common humanity,
but only the more sordid instincts of our
nature. What, then, was Dr. York's
record mi measures of humanity? The
story is a brief one. Dr. York was as deal'
to the appeals for help to sull'criiig hu
manity as he was blind to measures for
material progress, and in this he regarded
neither race nor color nor locality.

however, as every one must who turns
