SSv WILLIAM II. BERN1UD. WILMINGTON, N. C. Sunday Morning, -)ct. 25, 1891 TILTING TO FOOL THE PEOPLE. The Republican tariff organs and stumpers are having a hard time try ing to make it appear that the tariff is not a burden upon the people, that they don't pay the tax, but that it is paid by some one else. Mc Kinley, the father of the present tariff, and now running tor Governor of Ohio, tries to make his hearers believe that the tariff is not paid by the purchasers of the taxed goods, but by the foreign manufacturers of the goods, and asks "if the consumer pays the tariff, why is England mak int: such a fuss about it ?" He had the cheek also the other day when addressing a meeting ., of farmers, whose intelligence he under- rated, to assert that although there was now a tariff of $16,000,000 on imported tin-plate they were not paying one cent more for their tin and that $16,000,000 went into the Treasury of the United States, -a clear gain of $9,000,000 over the $7,000,000 that went in last year, when the fact is, as the current price quotations show, that the pnceof tin-plate has advanced twenty-five per cent, since the McKinley tariff went into effect. It is true, as Mr, McKinley says, that the U. S. Trea sury gels $9,0U0,00U more than it got last year, . but these $9,00n,000, with the $7,000,000 to which they have been added, all come - out of the pockets of the Ameri can people, indirectly, it is true, but out of their pockets all the same. It may come in sums so small at a time that it is not noticed, but it comes and comes in the millions. It was the boast of the pastor of one of . the grandest churches in New York that it was built with the pennies of the poor, and so (but it is no matter of boast for the United States Gov ernment) these $10,000,000, and near ly all the other tariff taxes, come out of the pennies of the poor, for it is the poor who pay the bulk of it, and that's what constitutes one of its most odious features. Following 6n the McKinley line, the Cleveland, O., Leader, a McKin ley organ, and the leading Republi can paper of that State, tries to bamboozle its readers into the belief that the people don't pay the tin tax by putting it in this way: "The Standard Oil Trust, the lame canning corporations and tinware com- panies, ana tne weaitny owners ot build- ings, pay nearly nine-tenths of all the tin-plate duty. The amounts that these large corporations will be obliged to pay into the United States Treasury every vear under th Mr-Kini hm t.ii v,i J - ' a v J If il A klj V tin-plate industry is built up in this country, will be approximately as fol lows: standard Oil Trust, &c g3.520.000 Canning corporations.. . ... 6,160 000 Tinware companies 1.760 000 Owners of buildings 3,520.000 Total... $14,960,000 "No great part of this large amount win uc ijucclcu irom tne individual consumer. The Standard nil ta the other large corporations will rav the Igreat bulk ot it. "The Standard Oil Trust and the other large corporations will pay the bulk ot it." What nonsense. The Standard Oil Trust and the other corporations which pay the tax by a very simple process get - it back out of somebody else. But if the Stand ard Oil Trust paid it (the McKinley - PatIllat;no. the neo- u'Sa"a "lv -ul,6'" & . a1wf1 b,tV Whv did Hlt v'11 .- -y jr Mr. McKinley when he was. manipu lating that tariff job give the Stand ard Oil Trust a rebate of 99 per cent, of the tariff on all the tin used in exporting their oil to foreign coun tries ? Trie Standard Oil Trust threatened to defeat the McKinley bill unless this was done and it was done accordingly. But why did the Standard Oil Trust de mand this rebate? Simply for the reason that in Europe they had to come into competition with Rus sian oil, and they couldn't add their tin-tariff to the price of the oil and make the foreign purchasers pay it as they do their American purchasers in dealing with whom they have no Competition to fear. So with the canners. l ney pay the tariff and then add it to the price of the goods they put upon the mirlfct nnrl thp rnnsnmers of the Canned gOOflS pay the taritt. So with the makers of tin-ware. They pay the tariff on the tin they import or buy from the importers and then add it to the price of the tinware they make and the pur chasers of the tinware pay the tariff So with the tin roofers. They rharcrp. the owner of the buildinir UDOn which theV DUt the tin TOOfs . an increased Price to COVer the tantl on the 'tin, and the owner of the building, if for rent, adds on a little to the rent to cover the extra cost And so it goes on every article oii which there is a tariff.-- Whoever pays it at the first it is paid by the consumer at last, and that with in terest, too, for every one who has anything to do with paying it adds a little and the whole is finally sad died upon the consumers who these tariff tricksters try to make it ap pear don't pay any of it. . MINOR MENTION. The McKinley wool tariff men in answer to the charge that the high tariff on wool has increased the price of woolen goods, deny the fact and assert that woolen goods (some woolen goods) are as cheap now as they were betore the Mc Kinley bill was passed. In noticing this Mr. David A. Wells, one of. the best informed writers on the tariff in this country, says this is so and so be- cause the manufacturers mafe a poorer article and use a larger amount of cotton and shoddy. The McKin- leyites try to break the force of this by saying that the increase of the tariff on shoddy has materially re duced the importations of shoddy, to which Mr. Wells replies that this is true but that instead of importing so much prepared shoddy it is now made at home, the shoddy-making in dustry being encouraged by keeping the duty low on old rags and such other raw material as s.ioddy is made out of. He visited what "is said to be the largest shoddy mill, in the world, where they make sixteen thousand pounds a day, some of the stuff used being "filthy enough to turn one's stomach to look at it from close quarters," and as further proof he quotes a leading manufac turer as saying to him that if the do mestic supply of cotton and shoddy were cut short half the woolen man ufacturers in the country would have to curtail or cease operations alto- gether for want of wool Senator Faulkner of West Vir ginia, has returned to Washington from his trip to the far West,whither he and Chauncy Black, of Pennsyl vaniaCongressman Bynum, of In- diyna and Lawrence Gardner, Sec- retary of the National -Association of Democratic Clubs, went some thing over a month ago to organize the Democracy of those; States. They visited North Dakota, South Dakota, Colorado, Montana, Cali fornia and Washington. Washing- ton was the onlT one of tQe younger Mates in which they tound a Demo cratic organization. The party J travelled over eight thousand miles, made speeches at thirty six meetings . - - , , . . m thirty five days and organized clubs in each of theStates visited. One th: struci, them as a sio-mfirant tning strucK iLem as a signincant fact. It was the number of young men, the sons of Republicans, who are now active, zealous Democrats, these being the men who took the most earnest and conspicuous part in getting up the meetings which they attended and in organizing the clubs. They are intelligent and en- ersretic workers and Senator Faulk erge5lc worsers, ana senator i?auifc ner 1S counting largely upon the work that they will do in advocating the 'ause of Democracy Ji.rking for the party to ;wheeltheir States in the near future into the Democratic column. They have bank inspectors in this county, but they don t always inspect. Friday's dispatches an nounce the shortage ot the cashier of the Louisiana National Bank, in the large amount of $190,000. There is a close resemblance between this case and that Kingston, N. Y., bank, where the two leading officers had carried on a systematic robbery for twenty-five years, without ever oeing suspected, until they had made away with about a half a million of the money of the bank and depositors. The Key Stone Bank of Philadel phia, was also in a bad condition for some time, but this was never sus pected until the final crash came. It seems somewhat remarkable that these fraudulent proceedings could be carried on for years, and deceive every one. That there should be such loose management about such institutions is simply a temptation ttf the men who handle the money to be dishonest,and if there be any dishonesty in them they will be very apt to yield to the temptation. ale Some of the Alliance organiza tions have been discussing the pro ject of a free delivery ot mail in the rural districts, a project which Post master General Wanamaker seems to favor. It has been tried in a limited experimental way and he says that the increased revenue of the country offices where it has been tried has more than paid the expense of the delivery. The opin ions of leading farmers have been sought and they favor it for many reasons. The3' say if they had free delivery and daily mails farmers would subscribe for daily as well as weekly papers, keep up with the markets and abreast of events, and by thus coming into closer contact with the world much of the monotony of farm life would be done away with. As to the economy of the free delivery it is cheaper to have one man deliver the mail when there is anything to deliver, than to have one person from each farm ride to the postoffice to get a paper, or other mail, thus requiring many to do what could as well be done by one. It is a good project and the probabilities are that it will be presented for the consideration of the next Congress. STATE TOPICS. In his address at the Raleigh Ex position, while speaking in the highest terms of North Carolina and her resources. Col. McClure said her greatest drawback was bad farm ing. This was true, but it is true also of every other State in the Union. The good farmefis the ex ception in any State, and, there are not as many of them in North Carolina as there should be, but there are perhaps as many in pro portion to numbers as there are in any other State. Of course Col. McClure was, speaking in a general way, and speaking truly, and it always will be true as long as our farmers stick to the one-crop sys tem, and are content with raising from three acres what by different methods they could raise from one. The spread-out system is a bad one, and there never can be good farm ing until a different one is adopt ed, and then not until the farmer feeds his land and raises the manure on his own farm to do it. When he gets to raising grass to feed cat tle and cattle to eat grass, this will happen, and then if Col. McClure should travel through this State he might change his opinion. CURRENT COMMENT. In affairs ot sentiment the South takes the lead. The monu ment to Henry W. Grady, at Atlanta, seems almost to have grown up out of his grave, as one of his impulsive speeches sprang forth from his im aginative brain. Farther north monu ments grow like glaciers, by inches, requiring the lifetime of a genera tion before they are built or paid for. Phil. Record, Dem. The Mafia got such big med iclne in New Orleans, that it has had such a soothing effect upon their sti lettoes, that they are not even sus pected of having killed an Italian who was recently found murdered there. Homcepathy has its advo cates in ordinary practice, but heroic allopathic doses seem to work best with chronic assassination. N. Y Commercial Advertiser, lnd. It is a pleasure to hear from Mr. Blaine again, even if he has not much to say. His letter to the Ohio editor shows "at least that he is tak ing an interest in affairs and that he still has firm faith in reciprocity. It is a pretty cold approval that he gives to the McKinley bill, it it can be called approval at all, but if the Major can get comfort out of it no body else need find fault. Phil. Times, lnd. IMPURE WATER. One of tne Principal .Causes of Typhoid and Other Sickness. Baltimore Catholic Mirror Dr. C. W. Chancellor, secretary of the board of health, who has a con summate knowledge of his specialty, and who has done so. much for this StBte hygienically, predicts an epi demic at Hagerstown similar to that which scourged Cumberland. Hag erstown appears to neglect drainage. "It was just this way," he said, "that Cumberland went. Bad smells, pol lution and filth for some years, but no great sickness. Suddenly pne summer there 600 cases of typhoid, and many a valuable and useful life recklessly squandered by careless ness. He had warned them and they abused him abused him severely. They had been neglecting the. sim plest precautions, and when warned only said: Say nothing; you will interfere with our boom,' asking him to be an accomplice in wilful muni cipal murder." It appears to us that Cumberland's typhoid fever epidemic came, not frornbad smells or bad air, but from water pollution, arising from the discharge of contamination into the Potomac, from whence the city drew its supply for drinking purposes. Possibly Washington relatively suff ers from the same neglect. How is it with Baltimore's water supply ? Judging from the difference between the water as it comes from the pipes and as it appears when purified by a Pasteur filter, there is something wrong with our boasted Gunpowder and other streams. A Catholic pas tor informs us that his assistant was in very bad health until the drinking water was boiled. Since then his health has been good. The improve ment was coincidental with the simple remedy. It is bad water, and not bad air, that causes so much illness. Proof is incontrovertible on this point, and the Mirror, from time'to time, has furnished evidence that has never yet been successfully com bated. In.this connection it may be opportune to refer to the fact that but for the name New Orleai.s has for fevers, she would become a gen uine rival to New York as a port. The same ignorance prevails there as elsewhere. The papers call for swamp drainage, as if the air caused disease of the kind mentioned. If New Orleans had absolutely pure water, or if people who cannot afford wine would boil and filter the water they have, whether from cistern or the river, the city would become, in spite of swamps, healthier than New York or Philadelphia, with their pol luted supplies Irom the Croton or Schuylkill, not to speak of ice from sewage streams. The yellow fever kept out by rigorous quarantine, and typhoid and "malarial" so-called fevers abolished by proper precau tions of boiling and filtering water, New Orleans would be a sanitarium; the more so, still, if proper artesian wells could be generally obtained and used. Drainage, of course, is a great necessity. Pure water is the greatest desideratum for health. The city that has a nearly, if not quite, perfect combination of these two essentials is most desirable for resi dence. Having neither, and particu larly lacking pure water, such a town is a breeder of disease and death, profitab'e chiefly for doctors and patent medicine syndicates. POLITICAL POINTS. If "taffy" can win the South over to him, David B. Hill has an excel lent prospect of being the next Demo cratic nominee for President. The Governor's supply of confections for Southern consumption seems to be un limited. Columbia State, Dem. ''f he Republicans of Ohio are not half so much concerned about Maj. McKinley as they are about the legisla ture. They will work at a white heat to prevent the presidential electoral sys tem of the buckeye State from being Michiganized. The loss of fifteen elec toral ballots in Ohio might, probably would, be fata! to that party in the next presidential election. WashintonSiar. Ind. Senator Voorhees, in his re marks Monday night at the Mozart Ac ademy, said that in his opinion the Force bill issue was paramount to tariff, free silver or anythtng else, because it threatened the constitutional rights and liberties of the people of every State in the Union. The tariff and silver, he urged, were purely economic questions, while the Force bill was one which strikes at the very foundation of the Republic. Richmond Times, Dem.

Vanderbilt and George Vanderbilt are passing the Au tumn at George Vanderbilt 's estate, "Baltimore," Asheville, N. C. Mrs: Fair, the widow of the late Senator Fa;r, is about to build for her daughter, Mrs. Herman Oelrichs. a house in New York that will, it is said, outdo all other residences in splendor of design and decoration.

Vangally, the newly ap pointed Russian Ambassador at the quirinal, is a most experienced diploma tist.

THE BALANCE WAS RIGHT. He Proved It and She Consented to Swing. "Ves," said the young man, as he threw himself at the feet of the pretty school teacher, according to the Greensburg Spark. "I love you and would go to the world's end for you." "You could not go the world's end tor me, George. The world, or the earth, as it is called, is round, like a ball, slightly flattened at the poles. One of the first lessons in elementary geography is devoted to the shape of the globe. You must have studied it when you were a boy." "Of course, I did, but" "And it is no longer a theory. Circumstances have established the fact." "I know ; but what I meant was that I would do anything to please you. Ah, Augelina, if you but knew the aching void" "There is no such thing as a void, George. Nature abhors a vacuum. But admitting that there could be such a thing, how could the void you speak of be a void if there was no ache in it. "I meant to say that my life will be lonely without you; that you are my daily thought and nightly dream. I would go anywhere to be with you. If you were in darkest Africa or at the North Pole I would fly to you. I" "Fly! It will be another century before man can fly. Even when the laws of gravitation are successfully overcome there still remains, says a late scientific authority, the difficul ty of maintaining a balance" "Well, at all events." exclaimed the youth, "I've a pretty fair balance in the bank, and I want you to be my wife. There!" "Well, George, since you put it in that light, I" WINTER GOODS. 5-A HORSE BLANKETS. YdU WANT 'EM. WE'VE GOT 'EM. WOOL, PLUSH AND FUR LAP ROBES. LARG. ST bTOCK. LOWEST PRICES. H. L.
