The Morning Star. By WILLIAM U. BERNARD. WILMINGTON, N. C. Satubdat Eyenibg, Oct. 11, 1884. EVENING EDITION. TO EXPOSE CORRUPTION IS A J DUTY. ' It is very disagreeable to an editor who would like to be respectful- and courteous to all men to have to deal with a character like Blaine, or with men like Elkins, Kellogg and com pany who are his supporters. T You cannot discuss the claims of Blaine to the Presidency without presenting his character as it stands revealed in the light of his own letters, and; in the testimony of Bergs er, Joy and - othersr You must do this or you are recreant to a sense of duty: for it is clearly the duty of a public journahst to warn the country agamst placing in power a corrupt and dangerous man. But if you do this, and give the evidence to show why you thus present his character and thus' warn voters against him, you are charged with throwing dirt and with lowering your editorial standard, j . We respectfully submit that it. is a necessity, but a most disagreeable one, made so by the action of the Republican party. Passing over such men as Morrill, Hawley, Conkling, Folger, Edmunds, Harrison,Gresham, and scores of other public men of unstained honor, they selected the most venal and , dangerous man .in American politics as their candidate a man whose true character has been painted in letters of living light by the ablest Republicans themselves by Edmunds, by Beech er, by Ingersoll, by the New York Times, by ihe-Tribune, by the fote most papers in that party. Not only thisj but the nomination of thitf man has driven out the purest, most hon orable, most cultivated and many of the. wealthiest men of the old Re publican party, and they are now supporting a Democrat simply be cause they will, not vote for a man they are fully satisfied is a corrupt, debauched knave. '. Let us just here copy from an edi torial that appeared in the New York Tribune when it was edited " by Whitlaw Reid, the very man who has -charge now. The Tribune is quoted now as authorititybr Blaine, .as that paper has assayed to . defend his badly suspected and badly, dam- aged character, but why not 'quote the Tribune when it held. Blaine up as a corrupt, wicked scoundrel? Here is what that ' sheet said of . Blaine when Speaker: - -: - "In the course of railway litigation, proofs of Mr.; Blaine's operations in rail way stocks have come out and are now in possession of lawyers in this city. We pub lish as much of mis business as Mr. Blaine win nnd time to attend to at once. Bv these documents 'the; Speaker is proved to rrrw3W.w.i6tt: Of the Union Pacific HaHwhit TC n ni 2j000 unassessable shares of the same. Why was the Speaker of the House dab tocf?m tbis DUSiness Why receiving he that was assigned to him, mS01118 ratification of tt Deleware and Pottawatomie treaties and the passage of a bill in Congress, mi. Blaine's record in railway matters grows darker as it is examined; r- be nobody's business how he has become a millionaire on a Congnsman pay but it is the business of his constitute and of tto country to knew hm the Speaker of Vie Ttnua if ffmWW 011716 ttltO IMS TtCli v vj aiiii v'r",'w railway speculation.'" -"-IrLyesterday'a Stab wis gave an other sample of the ': Tribune's ar raignment of now candidate Blaine, but then Speaker. Blaine, m which it ia 'flkiVl t,Ti at there was "proof of " 1 n Blaine's -fraud" and, how a, railway ,, , . .3 wufi- was actually bankrupted by blacK- mail, Blaine, the Speaker, being the - - - . 1 chief actor. Said the Tribune then, and it either outrageously lied or told the truth: H "Speaker Blaine is proved to have received ftiifttmnt nf R2.500 shares of stock, sub- ject tossments, and valued at $1,625 - j 000; 5,900 shares not subject to assessment, : I valued at $295,000, ana z.uuu Bnareamurc allotment, but not assessed. The two lat ter lots, not subject to assessment, were se cured by Blaine for himself." Jow with such; testimony from leading Republican 'witnesses' what can Democratic papers do but to aid in exposing, thoroughly exposing the, base fellow? The Republican party is responsible for the necessity im posed updn us, and upon alt Demo cratic editors, as well as upon a doz en or twenty able Republican editors in the North, to lay naked the terri- ------ t : ble record of a politician who barter ed away his honor and name for money, and has shown a character as base as any that you read of in Eng-; lish history at the most corrupt -period; . . '' We say Ugain, it is a disagreeable work the Stab other Democratic papers are forced, to engage in when the duty is imposed of exposing in its true colors the life of a venal politi cian. We have, not "written a severe line of the many men in the canvass ex cept Blaine and York. The hardest thing we have said of the latter is to characterize him as a mouthing and ignorant demagogue. We take him to be this because of ,the abundant evidence furnished to justify such in opinion. We do not know Dr. York and only judge him by his utteran ces. That he is ignorant and unlet tered his language and assertions show. That he is a demagogue is ap parent from his appeals to the poor to arouse them in antagonism to those with more means. We have treated all other candidates with courtesy, and some of them with kindness, when the temptation to be severe was pressing. We do not like a campaign like this. It is not to our taste. But the Republicans opened it by pouring a flood of filth upon Gov. Cleveland, and, as we believe, by the direct ad- vice and countenance of Blaine him self. The evidence we recently pub lished, we think, showed this, without relying upon Gov. Plaisted's state ment in his paper. The necessities of the campaign are such by reason of the record of Blaine, that you must at least criticize and discuss him, or quit the field. As long as the Republican party continues to nominate for office such men as Gar field and Blaine a personal campaign is inevitable. It is the duty of the Pre8S to finish light, tell the truth and expose corruption. We would prefer a thousand times a 'campaign in which, principles were the theme and not the glaring an4 foul record of machine politicians of the most malignant type. The duty of all honest voters is to turn the rascals out and keep them out. Defeat Blaine and thus compel the nomina tion of men of unblemished public record. ! .. AN IGNORANT CANDIDATE. . : - " ..... ' No one doubts Blaine's brilliancy; dash, magnetism, if you please. But when he touches political economy he betrays an ignorance that is some- what appalling. We might, perhaps with propriety and justice, say that it was something else than ignorance. J But as he has been so long time in the Congress and is presumed to have acquired some information even as to the difficult questions that be- long to political science we may con. tent ourselves with saying that he is very ignorant man according to his opportunities. jWe propose briefly to show this. , ' " -First, he declared in his adroit and rather able speech on the Tariff, in I West Virgi nia, that in a vessel cost ing $500,000 all was Zafor but $5,qoo. That is to say, that the material cost but $5,000, and the remainder was for labor. It is known to all men who know anything of this subject that the material costs, not less than $75,000, and probably $100,000. Why I Blaine should have made the state- mCnt h .AAin only be explained 'SU upon the hypothesis that he was either lamentably ignorant, or, talk ing to laboring, men: as he was," he. meant to deceive them. But labor ing men have sense as well as Blaine has, and such statements only make the speaker ridiculous. i : But a&ain.i Blaine said at Bellaire, I "that in a toivof pig-iroirbelling for; 20. the cost of labor in producing tt was $19.10. Is this Blame' believe it ? If true ? Did $0, he was stupendously ignorant. as ing will show. ' the follow- -1 . -1 , " J: :B.M6reh6ad;Of f PhiladeiphTa? showed in his letter addressed to the .w-M a Moan, ikt, - in one ton of pig-iroa the cost of labor . w mf--m -i. a " w. , w -j -r t I is $6.72. or wo and a half times,. as tit a a x 'u inn i Sinn 11 iir.v fin ihim luii much as the labor costs.

General expenses , Stock feed Taxes, merchandise, etc Cost per ton.. It costs . in .... 9.7660 labor (al included) I about one-third oi the tax under the Tariff.! The Louisville Courier Journal, well up in such matters, says: 'There is a special tariff on iron ore cl 75 cents a ton, while it is mined in Ala bama and dehverred at the furnaces at 05 cents a ton. So with coal, there is a tariff tax of 75 cents per ton, and on coke of 20 per cent, of value. ' According to the cen sus, the wages paid to men I employed in making pig-iron, 41,875 hands, amounted to $12,680,703, or on an average $302.82 per annum, and yet Mr. Blaine asks intelli gent men to believe pig iron Is all labor. Speaker Carlisle has shown that it requires two tons of ore to make one ton of pig iron, and thai the total cost to produce it is $3,135. It cost $4.35 to make one ton o bar iron. In 1880 it cost $13 to make a ton of bar iron. This was the ldbor exclu sive of all other cost. The Oovrier- Jburnal publishes a table prepared for that vear: Cost of labor on 2 tons iron ore. . . Cost of lbor on 1 tons pig iron. . Cost of labor on 1 ton bar iron. ... . . $2 70 . 485 . 13 00 I .$20 05 . $1 10 . 933 Total cost of labor. Duty on 2 tons iron ore. . . Duty on 11 tons pie iron. . Duty on 1 ton merchant bar J 33 60 Total duty J .$44 03 Or $2 25 bonus to every dollar paid in wages.! Mind you, this is not simply the difference in wages, it is the! sum total of wages.! Now is not the statement of Blaine, as he talks to workingmen in West Virginia, discreditable, make them believe an falsehood. Instead of He tries to absurdity, a 90 cents be- ing the cost, as he said rial and labor being $19, of the mate- 10, labor is but $2.70, according to Mr. More- head's figures in Pennsylvania; and in the South not over $2.27. Mark you Blaine Was talking of pig iron. It only costs in labor $20.05 to make a ton of bar iron, whilst! tha Mnl tax on it is $44.03, or double the cost of labor. j Our Louisville contemporary ex poses another deception of Blaine's. He said in his speech that tho census placed Ohio's .wealth at $3,200,000, 000. Now Spofford's Atoerican Al manac for 1884 gives the total wealth at $1,634,910,734, which is one-half what Blaine gave, and that too after four years of additional growth and development. Blaine's memory is vey treacher ous. He cannot remember his own personal dealings, as in the Hocking Valley operations, and how could he possibly recollect the immense figures in Ohio? I Pension Commissioner Dudley has his clerks scattered over Qhio, and they are making votes for Blaine by I I a , . i gmug preieruuuB w pension ciaim ants who will support him. A Wash ington special to the K. 1". Times says: Their claims in many instances have I hee11 on fil Pr years, and jn all cases for iui uis umiucss JL I lie Irvn sion Omce is greatly in arrears.

After this is im pressed upon his mind It Is I pointed out to the veteran that if the executive offices of the Government should pass into Demo cratic ; hands confusion and delay would follow, and it would be a longtime before his case could be taken up, if at all. The next duty of the Examiner is to make the applicant believe that with the Democrats in power a niggardly policy jwould be pur sued in the matter of pensions, and the re peal of the arrears of pensions act would follow." 7 i I The Sunday. Union and Catholic Times has this to say bf James G. Blaine: !Blaine was a Eow-Ncthing editor he Was Buckshot Foster's allv against Parnii was the defamer of Archbishop Hughes; he circulated the Madrigan circular to light a.flame of bigotry against the Catholics but mae years ago; that same year in 1875, he introduced in Congress a sectarian amend ment to" the "Constitution of the United States; in 1871' he made' an jOrange speech m Saratoga on the subject of the twelfth of July riotsroTfeeirels nojescape for us; we must face the most repulsive character of modern politics; we must oppose him by supporting his only opponent, Cleveland."

BEECHER REPLIES. "He hu no Intention of Apologizing to Anybodr "Two 'continental Liars." j ; N. Y. Herald. Mr. Beecher made a categorical statement in tho form of a public let ter to Gen. Alger, reciting Mr. Joy's statement made in his presence, in detail. Gen. Alger replied to inis that Mr. Joy's cable message was a complete refutation of the charges made by Mr. Beecher, and recom mended that Mr. Beecher should apologize "to the .American people" for the wrong he had done Mr. Blaine and the Republican party, ihe re ply to this suggestion on the part of Mr. Beecher is as toiiows: Gen. R. A. Axgeb, Detroit, Mich. : Dear Sib I have lust read your letter of October . 9, exhorting me "publicly to retract your my state ments, as you nave, in your zeai ior the Democratic party and the Demo cratic nominee, spread them before the whole country." When the heat of this campaign has passed you will think that such language borders too near upon insult to be either just or wise. I beg you to" understand that I have nothing to do with the truth, or otherwise, of Mr. Joy's statements to me respecting Mr. Blaine. The only question is. Did Mr. Joy make those statements ? The transactions between him and Mr. Blaine, through an' intermediary, may all be mythical, or the inter mediary may have been an impostor, or Mr. lilaine s feelings may never have been hurt by any such requests, and Mr. Joy may never have been shocked at Blaine's imputed answer; and Mr. Joy's artless feelings being practised upon by this intermediary, he may have expressed himself too severely about Mr. Blaine. Let Mr. Joy and Mr. Blaine settle that be tween themselves; I have nothing to do with all that. Did Mr. Joy make the remarks in my presence which-1 have published? If he did not, I have lied ; if he did, Joy has lied. There is no middle ground there shall be none. Either 1 heard it or invented it. i Mr. Joy's second telegram to yon makes a languid and foolish denial, which I attribute to his not having seen, or understood, my statement. But if Mr. Joy has seen my state ment and denied it, or if when he lands in New York he shall declare that no such conversation was had in I my presence, then I have only to say I that whereas 1 did not imagine that there could be more than one conti nental liar, I am compelled to think that there are two. Please accept this letter as the only retraction and apology that 1 am prepared to make to? you, to Mr. Joy, to Mr: Blaine, and to the Re publican party. . i HenbyJWabd Beecher. ARGUING FOR FOOLS.

To this complexion does it come at last. In his speeches in Ohio Mr. Blaine appeals to the voters not to allow their attention to be drawn from "the controlling question of the campaign," which, he says, is "Shall American labor be protected?" It is just possible that Mr. Blaine may carry this issue too far West, as the Republicans of Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota are not shouting very lustily for tariff in this campaign. The miners of the Hock ing Valley, who have been driven from their homes and supplanted with cheap imported labor. ' cannot see wherein they are "protected" by a duty of seventy-five cents a ton on coal when they cannot get more than fifty cent a ton for diecrnip; it. Nor can the larmers of Ohio be expected to grow enthusiastic over a system which has nearly closed the markets of the world for their surplus pro ducts. Jrhu. Record, lnd. OCR STATE CONTEMPORARIES. The present system of taxation by the government and the locking up in the vaults of the Treasury at Washington oi the surplus taxes, impoverishes the people, and enriches those who live in the money centres. It withdraws capital from the country towns like Fayetteville. It stimu lates manufacturing until there are more manufacturers than the consumers can support. Then the market is glutted, and the laborer is thrown out of employment or works on part time. Next the nerce competition in the money centres drives the wealthy capitalists there to seek out the profitable minor manufactures of the country towns. Their great wealth ac cumulated during the period that protec tion enriched them and before the market was glutted enables them to manufacture more cheaply than the country manufac turer. The country manufacturer in turn is unable to protect himself by enlarging his operations so as to produce as cheaply as his Northern competitor, because he cannot borrow money as cheaply, if he can borrow at all. Hence his industry lan guishes, his workman are put on half time, and suffering ensues. FayeUeHUe Obser ver. The Chronicle view of the Exposition is not that it Is a handsome, gorgeous thing, though handsome and gorgeous it is ! but that it is a means of solid instruc tion which has never before been approach ed in the State nor eaualed in any other State.
