TftOQBLX FOft THEM- . :? 8XLTBS. , The EepublicauB ia Congresa are making a record wnicu will be of im mense benefit to the Democratic party in the : coming .Congressional and Presidential elections, for it is a record which they cannot defend when confronted with it. Profess ing to represent the people and to be working for the betterment of the masses they haye been controlled by the traits and combines and ? haye done their bidding as hirelings might do the work of their - masters, and hare given the. people as little thought and consideration as if they were the mere hewers of "wood -and drawers of water for. the trusts . and combines. As an illustration, take the oleo margarine; bin i which passed - the House of Bepresentativea by a large majority after a mere formal, dis-' cussion. , Did the people ask for that? Was there any expression of popular sentiment asking for this legislation to destroy the oleomar garine industry, which supplies poor people with a cheap substitute for butter, makes a market for millions of gallons of cotton seed Oil and gives employment to thousands of people? No one demanded the enactment of .such legislation pat the dairymen of the North who looked 'upon oleomargarine as a com petitor and as a reducer of their profits, although the price of good butter has for some time had an up ward tendepcy in spite of the large increase ux the consumption of oleo margarine. . -oe&rga- dairies are in the North and . in the West, and it was to placate these that this attempt was ' made 'to. crush the- oleomargarine - iBduatry. They would take' money ' out of the packet .of., the people to put it in the pockets of their friends, the dairymen. " " " - ... Mr GroaFenor-oivQhio, has some constituents who are engaged in the growing 'of fine wool, and he is working to put through Congress a law to protect his friends from the folly- of ths imen wha - framed- and passed the Didglej tariff bill, which put such a tariff on wool as to stimu - late the shoddy industry to such an extent that it' materially "interferes with the floe wool industry. With the tariff" duties on woollen goods they are too dear for the- masses of 4he "peopie, and a a result they buy shoddy substitutes because they are cheaper, whether 4hey.i know they are shoddj-ornot. Mu Cfcrosvenor, in the interest of his "friends, the wool growersj'now proposes a law re- 3 quiring manufacturers to label the - goods they make, the label to show the quantity of wool, and of other materials there is in that piece of goods. The objeotof the - law is ostensibly to protect: the buyers from imposition, "by letting" them know what they are buying, but the real object is to drive shoddies out of the market as competitors of wool. " . as s matter oj iact .there is no objection to a law requiring things tojbe sold for what they really are, but this isn't the motive with Mr. Grosvenor,' who is not thinking of protecting the people Irom Jbeing- lmposed upon by the manufacturers of goods resembling woollen goods, but to check the use -of substitutes' for wool, thus increase the demand far wool "and increase the sales and profits of his wool-growing constitu ents. As between them and the people it is their voice that is heard and their interests that are looked after. Again, take the case of the Cu ban, "tiring ..and .reciprocity, about which so much has been said since the late President McKinley com- ;;t&$nded it so earnestly in his mes sage to , Congress.: - iWhen he re I . i ; - - - -; - i : . -3. 2 marked upon the advisability of ' reciprocity as a means of giving as ine wiaer markets pur -exporters s- tofeel sijfsirofed a. redaction of the tariff oh P articles which ' no longer needed high protection, his senti ments were generally endorsed by thejeaderspf the .party and were tprbved by the masses of his party. This was so general that the infer ence was that one" of the first ' measures fa Congress would be to establish reciprocity where it was practicable, and to reduce the tariff - duties on such articles as no longer needed protection from the "cheap , pauper labor 01 Europe.1:.

TTov i will thev defend their shameful - course . on this question when they are cited before the peo ple and! called upon to explain and defend it? They can't do it. . The ship subsidy biU, which will take about five or six millions ox dollars a year out of the pockets of the people, has passed .the . Senate as a party measure. Six Republican. Senators voted - against it aiter: vainly - trying to amend it so 'that they could 'dare "to vote for it; Every j Democrat in the Sei ate voted against it, save one, prho still persists in calling himself a Democrat, ! although k he affiliates and Totes with "the- Republicans McLanrin, of South Carolina. The six Republican Senators who voted against it; represent . agricultural States, and they knew when they were so voting that they were vot insr in accordance with the senti ments of the people of their States. ' If that had not been made a party measure it never could have passed the Senate. Why was it made a party measure ? Because some rich men who will build or now own fast steamers will get. the larger part pf the subsidies, and these men and the ship builders who expect to profit by it, wanted it, and they are liberal contributors to Republican campaign funds. It war the few with" the' money who help the Repub lican! party with theix-5. money, on one side,- and t ho people who will be called upon to pay the subsidies on the other, and the campaign con tributors iwon: - - i-, -, These are a few illustrations of the, record they have made 'so' far, and they are not done yet. It is a record that Democrats, viewing it from a party standpoint, may re j ice in for it means trouble for the Republican party. . HQW CIV IT DO IT.t There is littlejdouyjthat 'fjatt majority of the Amricanpeople sympathize with the v Boers in their heroic defence of their country against the British invaders, and there is as little doubt, too, that if our: Government bad not been so tangled up by the assumed , friend ship between this country and. Great Britain, this sympathy 1. would: long ago have found expression in some declaration of Congress. " While the fact that the recent resolutions, adopted by the Demo cratic Congressional caucus in Wash ington, emanated from, a Democratic caucus and therefjorehave a parti san coloring, may prevent a general response from the people, they ex press the popular sentiment all the same. But how could . Congress, pass a resolution of sympathy with the Boers? How could it ask the Brit ish Government to end the war. by some honorable adjustment of the dispute? If we had no war on our hands in the Philippines Congress might do that and possibly1 might have done it before this but we have by the course of the party which has been waging war upon the Fili pinos i estopped - ourselves from con sistently making any plea for the Boers, or of even indirectly cpn- jdemuing-.British methods in .the prosecution of thatfar. r The Fili pinos are fighting invaders just as the Boers are; they are contending for territorial soverighty and -self rule. just as the Boert are, and they are ist as much entitled to territorial sovereignly and self mlo as the Boers are. But in addition to this bur jailitary. . represenatives who are carrying out the Washington .policy itl --the Philippines have 'adopted British methods pursued in South Africa, thereby -virtually endorsing those methods. If such a resolution were adopted by Congress,; if the .British Govern ment paid any attention to it. it might simply tell Congress to look to the Philippines and set its own house in order, : before it. undertook to tell Great Britain or any other power how it should manage its.do- mestic affairs. f .L:""-? . I : r The resolution wjll not be adoptld,' of; course, far if there wers no other reason for not adoptfng it, the Re publican majority in Congress would not so stultify itself. 7 - t The Charleston Exposidon edition issued on the 16th Inst, by the Raleigh JTmiTAndkVfiiervartii I scriptive of thB-ExposirfonJit giVe I W v..t. .mnntit ;ffrtZs;i?L,.i I Will be yery useful to persons con- templrTlsitlSg K, hii ligwnts I an advance View which 'will irreaHr aid the visitor in studying it 'to ad vantage.

A formidable andj spread ing rebellion; alliance between Eng land and Japan, and a counter Alli ance between Russia and France, indicate anything but a solution of th'e,.

Neither of these and for that mat ter none of the Governments which have recently figured in the Chinese racket has any respect for the so- called government of China, which is a mere automaton, put up to be knocked down when it suits the pleasure or the , interest of any power strong , enoucrh to do the knocking. .x , Under the restrictions put upon China in the terms imposed by the allied Powers, before they relaxed their erip on Pekin, the Govern ment of China is practically power less to protect itself "against any for midable rebellion and the people who may be loyal to it have little heart to rally to its support, for they don't know how soon it and they might be at the mercy of the yictorions rebels, and they have no long head like that of Li Hung Chang to help them in emergencies, or to play the diplo matic game with the Powers. That's about the situation now, China is still a field for exploit. Having begun the exploiting busi ness and found how easyvit is the appetite of the exploiters" has. been whetted for more. They have all cobbled something, but Russia the biggestslice, which' she proposes to hold on to and grab for more. The alliance between England and Japan may precipitate the grabbing instead of preventing it. In the meantime there is a formidable and. growing, rebellion which may furnish a pre text for resuming the grabbing. Some cows have no more sense about what they eat than some peo ple.

The cotton market opened easy in tone, with prices two to three points lower, and during the rest of the morning was weak under tremendous lia nidation and bear selling. A prominent com mission nouse, believed to be acting for Western longs, sold out bet ween 40.000 and 50.000 bales Julv within fifteen minutes, under which that option broke from .8 86 to 8 80. The rest of the list went off in propor tion, though March and April contin ued to hold a firm relation to the later months on scattering demand from spot cotton interests. Disappointing English market news started the sell ing movement though the recent 'tired" appearance of the market nn. doubtedly prompted the precipitate liquidation for Western accounts. - On tne break room shorts scrambled far profits and conservative traders bought on the reaction theory. Yet public buying did not figure aa a featn ra At the lower prices to the extent expect ed . While : July . later rallied tn 8.86 the market failed to display positive strength: and was very sensi tive to selling orders from any quar ter. Light port receipts for the day and very light estimates for to-morrow's New Orleans and Houston re ceipts received but passing notice. Nor did clearances for export which reached several thousand bales more than total port receipts. Modified es timates for the week's "in aiffht" were equally unpopular and to the last sen timent was oearian. At the close the market was quiet and steady, with I (rices net unchanged to five points ower. Total sales ware estimated nt 250,000 bales. . . , , Nbw Tobk, March 20.
