Behold the great prosperity which the Dingley tariff has brought us, exclaim the regulation Republican stumpers. "Let well enough," "Stand pat," exclaims ilark Hanna. Don't touch the tariff, for if you do, you will endanger our protective sys tem and turn everything up side down. Disturb thi3 tariff, this prosperity bringer, and you bring ruin and disaster. In his speeches Senator Pritchard discants on the great prosperity, the credit for which he claims for his party, and contrasts it with the business depres sion which had prevailed from 1893 to 1897, which he declared was the result of Democratic rule and poli cies. When he does that he proves him self to be either an ignorant or an unscrupulous speaker, who makes claims through lack of information that all men occupying his position should know, or a man who deliber ately makes statements regardless of their accuracy for the purpose of deceiving people who may not know any better. The absurdities of these claims were thus exposed by Senator Simmons in his speech in the Court House Monday night. He said: The great Republican argument this year is prosperity. They say prosperi ty came with McKinley and the Ding ley tariff, and is therefore due to Re publican legislation and administra tion. Undoutedly good laws help to make prosperity, and bad lawa help to bring adversity. Bat there may be ad versity with good laws and there may be pros perity with bad laws. When the Re publican party claims credit for pres ent prosperity because that party hap pens to be in power, they overlook the fact that the prosperity of to-day is not confined to this country, but is world wide. Germany, France and England in Europe, Japan in Asia, Argentina in South America and Mexico and Canada in North America, some with a high tariff, some with a low tariff and some with no tariff at all, are all enjoying an unusual degree of prosperity at this time. And this wave of prosperity be gan in all these countries and through out the world at about the same time it began here. If the prosperity we are enjoying proves that high protection is the beat policy, the prosperity of Japan equally proves that low tariff is the best policy, while the prosperity of Great Britain proves that free trade is the best policy. This is the conglomeration of incon sistencies and nonsense to which the Republican prosperity argument leadr. To prove their prosperity contention, the Republicans point to the bulk of our foreign trade, to the growth of our circulating medium. Tried by the test of the bulk of foreign trade, Great Britain is more prosperous than we are, for that little island, less than twice the size of North Carolina, hd a foreign export and import trade daring the past year nearly twice as large aa we had. Tried by the test of circulating medium, France Is more prosperous than we are, for that country has a ner emit circu lation Of t37. While WA hiT nnlw Tried by the teat of increase in the per cent of export trade, at 11 1t otiij nations are more nrampniiB than a are. The per cent, of increase in our export trade during the decade from 1891 to 1893 was only 33 That of Germany and Italy was about ni.half times aa much. That of a. MTitfn about twice as much, or 63 IL. ml to our 83 per cent. That of jfipan nearly three times aa much, or 97 per cent, while that of Canada was exactly tnree times as muca, or v par ( Rattia of thM countries have the gold standard, some the silver j standard; some have colonies and : some have no colonies; some navo high tariff, some low tariff, and some no tariff at all. And yet they are ill pr03perou. If all tho speeches that Senator Pritchard has made since he has been in public life were sifted they would not contain as much logic as is contained .in this extract from the speech of Senator Simmons, supported by the facts, as any one fa miliar with the industrial and com mercial conditions of late years will recognize, although they may have'escaped memory until recalled. But Senator Pritchard-with the assurance of inspiration strikes the heroic attitude and exclaims behold what the Republican party with itdFf prosperity-promoting policies has done for this country and for North Carolina, as if we had never tasted prosperity before. The - Dingley tariff was passed and after awhile prosperity came, and therefore, ac cording to the Pritchard contention, the prosperity was the 'result of the tariff. He conveniently forgets or ignores the short crops of Europe and the good crops of this country which were the beginning of our prosperity. The fact is that we are indebted for all the prosperity we have had to the farms and farmers of this country, and they are indebted for their prosperity not to Republican tariffs or other policies, but to the adversities of the farmers in other countries which had to look to the American farmer for foodstuffs to make up their shortage. We do not have to cross the ocean, where conditions are differ ent, to show the folly of their claims for the Dingley tariff, for right across the border our neigh bor Canada has had prosperity equal to ours, in some things in ex cess of ours. She has increased in wealth, in internal development, in agricultural production, in manufac turing and in her exports of pro ducts, and all this she did without tariffs to favor some and discrimi nate against others of her people. Of course Senator Pritchard knows this, and every other intelligent Re publican knows it, but it isn't their purpose to let the people know it if they can prevent it, for that would spoil thegameof humbuggery :ini the fraudulent claims for the Dingley tariff. THE DESERTERS' PENSIOHS. In reply to the criticisms as to his conduct in concocting and pushing the bill to give pensions to Confed erate deserters who deserted from the Confederate, joined the Federal army and made war against their own people and section, Senator Pritch ard defends himself on mercenary grounds, just as he does his support of the Dingley tariff, and says he is proud of it, because that act will bring over $5,000,000 into the South. We don't believe it will bring any such sum or anything like it, for we don't believe there were as many de serters as that who joined the Fed eral army, and many who did have doubtless found more congenial hab itations in other sections of the coun try. But assuming that Mr. Pritch ard is correct in his calculation, the Raleigh Post propounds to him and to the Republican Congressmen, Blackburn and Moody, who voted for his bill, the following pertinent questions: You, gentlemen, voted in the recent Congrecs to impose a tax to pay pen sions to the federal soldiers of $138, 000,000 during the current year. This represents a per capita tax on all the men, women and children of the Unit ed States of $1.76. On this basis North Carolina's share of this tax is $3,344,000, a nice sum for this one ob ject for our people to pay. Again, you gentlemen voted for and boast that you secured the passage of a bill to pension those who deserted the Confederate army afterward served in the federal army, which Senator Pritchard declared in his recent can vass would bring "more than five million dollars into the 8outh." On a per capita basis North Carolina's share of this is, in round figure?, is $117,000 per annum. Putting these two items of pension tax for the regular pension army and the deserters you gentlemen voted at the recent session of Congress to tax the people of North Carolina each year three million four hundred and sixty-one thousand dollar?. We have yet to hear or find the record of a solitary word of protest coming from either of you In the late Congress to this heavy burden upon the people you represented for this cause; on the contrary you claim the paternity or the deserter bill and boast of your success in "putting it through." You do, however, "condemn" the Democrats of this 8tate for "ex travagance" and for "increasing expenditures" when one item of this "extravagance" and in increased expenditure was for the honest old Confederate veteran, whose unpardonable crime in your eye?, ap parently, is that he did not desert his country and people and don the uni form of the enemy. Under the Demo cratic pension law previous to the act of the last Democratic Legislature the pension tax for our old veterans and the widows and orphans of our non- deserting soldiers amounted to about $120,000 annually. This "Democratic administration" increased this to $200, 000, an "extravagant" addition of only eignty tnounsand dollars. "How does this $80,000 contrast with your $117,000 for deserters and $3,344.- 000 for the regular pension fund, over three millions of which go out of the Bute to be distributed in Northern States f Jeter Claimant Pritchard was evi dently not thinking what a boome rang he was shying when he made his boast of bringing these $5,000 000 or more of pension plunder into the bouth. OA. X't X . . i ha Kind Yea Have Always Boufit1 Bmti the Blgnatv sep 26 tf Jr su A LESSON THAT SHOULD NOT BS FORGOTTEN. The settlement of the coal strike, after a duration of five months and a half, is something upon which the whole country may be congratu lated, for it had become a very serious and alarming affair. The money loss caused by it runs away up into the millions, but that was insignificant in comparison with the more serious consequences follow ing, which would have become still more serious had the strike been prolonged and the coal famine more severe. There was much suffering as it was, but the greater suffering which would have followed would inevitably have driven the people to desperation and riot and bloodshed might have been the order of the day in the larger cities of the North which are dependent upon the Pennsylvania mines for coal. The settlement of the strike happily re lieves the situation and averts the apprehended consequences of a coal famine. But the strike teaches a lesson which should not be forgotten. It teaches the mine operators that they must not assume to be supreme dictators, nor claim to rule by divine commission, but that they muat have some regard to public sentiment, which when aroused is mighty. With all their imperious bearing and arrogant obstinancy they had to yield at last, and recognize the two elements they so obstinate ly ignored the public and the min ers' Union, the first of which they recognized when they entered into conferences with committees of citi zens and the President, the second of which they virtually recognized when they proposed the appointment of a commission by the President, as had been previously proposed by Mr. Mitchell, President of the Miners' Union, which proposition they had so unceremoniously re jected. There were some sugges tions attached to their proposition, but it was a concession all the same, and to that extent a recognition of the Miners' Union. It teaches the miners that to be successful they must have public sen timent with them, for it was this which at last forced the active efforts to end the strike, and compelled the operators to yield, and that to win and hold this sentiment they must avoid lawlessness and violence, and recognize the rights of men who do not belong to the unions. It teaches the law-makers of the States the necessity of devising some way to prevent these conflicts be tween employers and employed in in dustries producing those necessaries the withholding of which may have such widespread effects and cause such intense suffering. With such a lesson as is thus furnished there can be no excuse for the Legis lature of Pennsylvania, or of any other State in which the industry of coal mining is largely carried on, for longer ignoring or dallying with this vital question. The .N ew York Tribune is respon sible for the story that during his swing 'round in New England Pres ident Roosevelt, when he got tired of bobbing to the natives, buncoed them by getting Secretary Moody, who is built somewhat on the Roose velt model, to put on his specks, grab his beaver and appear as his proxy where the train didn't stop long enough to let the Roosevelt juse be discovered.

The strikers got a small increase in . pay and some other differences were reconciled, all of which could have been done at first, if both parties had acted sensibly. In view of the interest that Boss Piatt, of New York, and the other fellows are showing to break the coal strike he has probably changed his opinion as to the ability of his party "to elect a yellow dog" this year.

The Ohio registration shows that the voters out that way are not taking a deep interest in politics this year. Perhaps the Republican leaders have given them so much prosperity that they have become in different. Washington Post, Ind. The G A. R. finds that Com missioner Evans was too careful of "the alabaster box of the nation's love." That is a new term for the treasury or the taxpayer's pocket, but since we are informed there are still 900,000 names on the roll, with only 75,000 above 62 years of age, we may reasonably conclude the oint ment will now for several genera tions yet. Why not make it plain that the precious fruits of love reach only the deserving. Jacksonville 1 imes- union, Dem. Sen. Spoener is also for tariff revision, but he must have a revision scheme presented that "would not disturb" things. He would not jolt the situacion, as it were. Such talk is foolishness. No barnacled abuse was ever scraped from the hull of state, without scratching the plates. We can't uproot wrong without dis turbing the earth where the vicious tree's roots have gone deep and spread abroad. All this chatter about revising and correcting a flag rantly faulty system, and not dis turb the beneficiaries of that system, is the palaver of demagogy and not the language of statsmanship.

The cotton market opened steady, with prices two to four points higher on demand from smaller room shorts and on some for eign purchases, these buyers beicg in fluenced by the news of tbe coal strike settlement and the firmer ruling of tho English market. Relatively light re ceipts at the ports and unfavorable news from Fall River in reference to spot print cloths also exerted some in fluence. But it was soon apparent to all that the commission bouses were al most destitute of buying orders and that the bear faction intended 'making a fresh attack upon the winter month!', giving the excellent weather condi tions as the prompting factor. Tbe private crop reports also were more favorable than in some time, many indicating promise of maturement of late cotton. Light frost was given on the chart for the north central bel', tbe dispatches from that quarter sta ting no harm had been done to cotton, as the formation has been limited almost entirely to the higher ground where there were, few fields. Prices worked quite stead ily lower during the rest of the forenoon, with liquidation quite ac tive. Boon after mldd?y Ja j sank ir 8.48 and May to 8.28, from which th-re was a rally near tbe close on profit-taking by room short?, Wall street came to the front as a buyer of th! January option in th'. last fifteen minutes and European demand was something of a feature. The South sold along conservative lines. The market was finally steady and net one to four points lower. Total sales were estimated at 250,000 hales. bw Cork, Oct. 16.
