WILMINGTON, N. C.
Tuesday Morning, May 8, 1894
WHAT H0HSENSE.
Democrats are so often accused
these days by the Republican pro
tectionists of "making war upon our
industrial development," that the
charge has become a stereotyped
one. It is not. confined to the Re
publican protectionists,' either, for
some of the Democratic converts to
protection are as glib at repeating it
as are the Republican protectionists
from whom they learned it.
What nonsense. What motive can
the advocates of low tariff have in
"making: war upon our indastrial
development?"
Are they fools, or. are they so to
tally deficient in pride of country or
in patriotism as this charge would
imply?
There are about one-half the voters
in this country, and probably if. this
question were divested of its parti
san association, a great many more,
who believe in a low tariff.
Are they not as much interested in
the "industrial development" of the
country as other citizens?
Have they no care for their own
prosperity? and is not their prosper
ity as dependent as that of any other
citizen on the general prosperity and
on our industrial development?
What idiots they would be to be
making war on the thine on which
their own prosperity depended
They must be idiots to do this, if
true, or they who accuse them of it
must be toousn misrepresenters or
idiots themselves if they believe what
they say.
Whether they believe it or not the
assertion is arrant nonsense, of which
any man of ordinary intelligence
should be ashamed. There is no
man of any sense who wishes to
make war on our industrial develop
ment and surely there is no man in
the Southwhetherhehasan average
supply of sense or not, who wishes to
male war on Southern industrial, de
velopment; but there are millions of
people in this country who object to
the people being plundered under
pretence of developing our industries.
These millions believe, and they
have the best of reasons for be
lieving, that the system of protection
as it is understood and practiced now
and as it has been understood and
practiced for a generation is a system
based upon fraud and that it is a co
imposition on the masses of
the people for the benefit of the
favored few, and they do not believe,
if so much protection ever was neces
sary, that it is necessary now or that
the protected should have more pro
tection than they bad ten or twenty,
or thirty years ago when they wailed
the wail of the infant and cried to be
fed and cared for.
These millions believe that it is
time these infants outgrew their in
fancy, dropped the nursing bottle,
and bustled around to do something
for themselves.
This is not a mere matter of
opinion with them, for they have the
evidence furnished to support them
in the belief that a high-rate, if any,
protection, is not necessary to the
development of our industries, for
the low tariff (called sometimes free
trade) period from 1846 to 1860 was
a period of marvellous development
both tin land and on sea. In that
period manufactories sprang op all
over tbe land, tb$" diversified indus
tries gave well compensated employ-'
ment to all who wanted to work, our
commerce grew, and oar 'merchant
marine increased until it became the
second in the world, with every pros
pect of soon becoming the first. It
was the golden era of American in-
flnstrial progress and prosperity.
Then we were, at the end of that
era, 30.000.00U ot peopie, 10 me
65.00p.00O now, more distinctively
American, and more thoroughly in
dependent in spirit and methods than
we have ever been since.
It is tree that then there were no
such colossaWortunes as there are
now, vfofmen were; content with
the honest gains of legitimate indus
try, the gains of personal effort and
exertion, and not of favoring legisla
tion, but there was a better distribu
tion of wealth, more honest dealing,
more manly independence and more
content throughout the land.
Protection is asked for now and
claimed as a right, a "vested right'
by some, not that the protected in
dustnes may survive ((or no one
with any sense believes that it is
necessary now to their existence) but
that those who operate them may
gain much money by 'the tribute
levied upon those who do not operate
them, but must buy the things which
they make. . They who are opposed
to that and to the high pro
tection which the protected de
mand believe that they should be
satisfied with reasonable gains, and
that they should not insist upon be
ing enriched out of tribute imposed
on their fellow citizens. But this is
not "making war on our industrial
development." It is only insisting
on fair play and honest dealing and
treating all citizens, who are entitled
to equal consideration under the
laws, alike and justly, . showing
special favors to none.
MnrOE MENTION.
"General" Coxey, of the "Army ot
the Commonweal of Christ, seems
to be filled with the conviction that
an essential part of his mission in
life is to deliver a speech on his pet
hobbies from the steps of the Capitol
building in Washington. The tena
city with which he sticks to this is
corroborative evidence of tbe man's
crankiness. That speech, whether
there be anything in it or not, would
sound just as well and be just as pot
ent in influencing Congress or public
opinion if delivered in any of the va
cant lots in Washington or from any
of the street corners. It is some
what remarkable that some one has
not suggested to "General" Coxey
the idea of having it made by proxy
m the Senate ana tnus nave u mcui- i
porated in the Congressional Record,
Senators Quay and Dolph have held
the floor of the Senate for the past
three weeks delivering their serial
speeches on the tariff question.
Thev alternate and take the floor
at their convenience, yielding, when
it suits their convenience, tempora
rily to some one else. To string
their speeches out they incorporate
all sorts ofjmatter, relevant or irrele
vant, the reading of which, when
they get tired, they delegate to some
of their Republican colleagues. It
would be a capital idea if '-Gen.
Coxey would see Senator Quay and
get him to incorporate his speech,
parenthetically, into his own, and
then expatiate on it as a frightful
example of the impending effect of
tariff reduction. This would not be
altogether appropos, we admit, but
it would be quite as much so as the
bulk of the stuff that Mr. Quay is
cramming into his serial "speech.
If Quay would not catch on perhaps
he might make the arrangement
with Senators Allen-WT'effer, if they
can ever get-the floor away from
Dolphand Quay.
If the Democrats in Congress are
ai
as level-headed as they should be
they will -not procrastinate on the
passage of a bill for the repeal of the
I State bank tax, for if by any chance
the Republicans were to secure a ma
jority in eith er House of the next
Congress that measure would be
doomed. The agencies that control
the Republican party are opposed to
the re-establishment of State banks
and are in favor of the perpetuation
of the national bank system, which
gives the national banks the control
of the volume of currency. This sen
timent is emphatically voiced by the
following plank incorporated in the
platform adopted by the late. Repub
lican State Convention of Indiana.
"We believe in currency composed of
gold, silver, and paper, readily convert
ible at a fixed standard of value and en-
tirely under national control; and we
favor the imposition ot increased tariff
duties upon the imports from all foreign
countries which oppose the coinage of
silver upon a oasis to De determined by
an international congress tor such pur
pose. We denounce the avowed pur
pose of the Democratic party to restore
tbe era ot 'wild-cat money.
They demand that the motley of the :
coantry be "entirely under national
control,", which means that it shall
continue to be controlled .by the :
same agencies that have controlled It
for the past thirty yearsV'whfch has
been one of the leading causes of the .
enrichment of the East and of the
impoverishment of the West and the
South, both of which were made de
pendent upon the East for the money
to meet the demands of trade. State
banks would destroy this monopoly
and hence the men who control the
Republican party and represent this
monopoly are opposed to any move
ment that would make the re-estab
lishment of State banks possible.
w -- -
Col. Breckinridge, of Kentucky,
has opened his campaign for a re
nomination for Congress, in one of
the most pitiful pleas for- votes that
was ever made by mortal man. , He
made much of the fact that he had
made a clean breast under oath of
the disreputable double life he had
led for years, but it took an oath to
get it out of him and then he didn't
tell it until he was forced to, and
even then he tried to throw the re
sponsibility for his fall on his partner
in guilt. He deserves no credit for
tbe acknowledgment which came
under compulsion when he bad to tell
some of the truth at least or perjure
himself. It was a- plea, how
ever, coming irom tne moutn
of such a captivating speaker,
which will have its influence on that
class of people who have not very
rigid views of morality, but it will
have little influence with those who
have. He didn't strengthen his case
by his severe scoring of the preach
ers who issued that address, nor by
his defiance of the newspapers, for
when he defiantly threw down the
gauntlet to them he aroused two
powerful factors in moulding public
opinion when there is any element of
doubt in the public opinion formed.
This defiance was in singular con
trast, too, to the plaintive strain that
ran through the body of his speech.
Mr. Breckinridge is an extraordinary
man. Unly an extraordinary mas
could have gone through the ordeal
ot exposure as he did and then face
the people of his district as he is now
doing.
Capt. Nye, a pensioner ot the war
of 1812, celebrated his 98th birthday
at his home in Lynn. Mass.. a few
days ago. He cast his first vote for
Monroe and his last for Harrison.
He doesn't feel so comfortable over
his last.

W. I. IXDUGsLAS Shoes are stylish, easy fit
ting, and give bftter satisfaction at the prices ad
vertised than any other make. Try one pair and
be convinced. The stamping of W . L. Doug-las
name and price on the bottom, which guarantees
their value, saves thousands of dollars annually
to those who wear them. Dealers who push the
sale of W. L. Douglas Shoes gain customers,
which helps to increase the sales on their full line
of coods. They can afford to sell at a less profit,
and we believe you can save money by buying all
your footwear of the dealer advertised below.
