an-1 he 'Actual facts ? - Mr. Wells,, in
his ri ly to Hoar, says: '. k ; 1
' But while daring the year 1883 England
sent iimnufacluird Roods to Australia to the
; exiti.t of $91,000,000 in value (or nearly as
. much Hie United States exported during
tbe :tine ear to all countries), the value of
the Aim ricMU exports to Australia for 1883,
was nly $9,795,090. and this was made up
. iu iniky art liy lumber, dried fish, tobacco
and ki iiKene oil (not in the usual sense

In ilii connecticai let us again re
fer to the great depression in the
ste-l rail trade. Lately we meri
tioueil that teel rails have sold
recently as low as $25 per ton, and
that a year or .so ago the tax alone
on a ton Was $28 But there is more
in this. In England, the- rails- can be
bought now for $24. 1 Why' this?
There is still an actual tax of $17.92
on a ton. Add freight and an Eng
lish ton coats delivered at an Ameri
can port $45.- This is $18 a ton
more than the present price ior Penn
sylvania. Now rwhy ; 'ahould :the
steel rails made in Pennsylvania isell
118 a ton lower than -English': rails
can be delivered at ? - ? ;h i' i ;;. ,
Tliere is but one answer and 4 that
answer is never given by a.Protec

dodge the truth and misrepresent

The good order and prosperity of I
the Eastern counties are seriously in-
vOlved in the present County Govern
ment system; A, class of unprinci
pled demagogues are using this ques
tion as a means of social disturbance
as well as of political safety. Under
the blighting : breath of - Radicalism
the East suffered very greatly. The
negroes were put in charge. - All re
member the sad result. Tares were
piled up mountain high; the people
were sorely oppressed ; tbe publio
funds were squandered and stolen ;
thieves and peculators and ignoram
uses were placed in' office. ' ; r
"A change under. Democratic rule
occurred years ago. " The old system
that of the fathers wai readopted
and honest, capable, public-spirited
citizens were put in charge of ; the
-public funds.1 "We all know the re
sult. The oppressions have! disap
peared j the'pnblic moneys are appro
priately and judiciously applied; tbe
taxes are very : much reduced; the
white people bear their part : of ; the
public' bur.den cheerfully, and good
order generally prevails. .
It is proposed by selfish politicians
of the - Radical stripe to abolish the
present system and to again place
tbeegroes in power in the twenty
six negro counties. The old system
that protects all and guarantees fidel
ity and honesty in the disbursement
of the public fnnds and thus relieves
the people of extravagance and con
sequent high taxation,- does not
please this set - of , political raiders,
and York and the remainder of the
b9hwhaekera-4ire daily mowthing
about its great and terrible oppres
sions and how the people are robbed
. . t. 1. . . . .' ;
01 lueir nguw, o&o. j
The old system is the very one for
the Eastern counties. Without it
the white tax-payers are at the mercy'
of bad white men and perhaps of
worse negroes. Restore the system
asked for by York and the Radicals
generally- and : we get back to plun
derings and defalcations and scoun
drelism generally. ;;
Do yon ' think that the Radical
system is a good and desirable one ?
Have yon so soon forgotten the past?
What said that honest . Republican',
Treasurer of the State, David A.
Jenkins, when in office ? We copy
from his report . to the Legislature.
He said: ' ' ; '
. "I retrret to sav that the State has proba
bly lost considerable money from the ia-
solvency of snertjs ana inetr sureties, t a re
spectfully recommend that more stringent
measures shall be taken in regard to sher
iffs' bonds. ' ' -; : V v
. f Returns have been made on the fi feu
that 'no property could be found outside of
exemptions bv law.' The county commis
sioners should be held to a stricter accounta
bility for taking inefficient bonds.
That county commissioners should pass a
bond as good for a large ambunt.and when,'
a few.months afterwards, the State issues
her Drocess to force the collecting officer to
disgorge the money lawfully belonging to
her, it is found that such, officer and all his
sureties are insolvent,- is a proof of great
criminality either in the officers accepting
the bond or in the sureties who qualify to
its sufficiency. -
Can it be possible that there are
white men in New Hanover f and. the
Cape Fear section who are willing to
'abolish the present County Govern
ment system and return to the cor
rupt system that worked so badly
according to-Treasurer Jenkins?; It
is because of the peculations in office,
the straw sureties given, the corrup
tions and incapacity of officials, and
the 'serious dangers that lurk in : the
RadiCal-Canby system that moved
the white people to rise up ip their
might ?4nd Tswecp it from the earth.
The Constitutional - amendment is a
standing protest against the repudi
ated system. ;: ..
The New Berne Journal, in a dis
cussion1 f the system proposed by
r i
-York and -company,
said this: ,
''In soine counties the elective system
woRlt be more dangerous to day than it
was then.' If the Commissioners of Craven
county were elected- by the . people a dif
ferent class of men would bold the omces
of Sheriff, Register of Deeds, Superior
Court Clerk and Treasurer man tnose wno
now occupy these important positions.
'Let's elect men that will accept our bonds
would be the ruling cry, and, 'wedo the
voting " and ought to have the offices, is
now flung in the teeth of every white Re
publican." . ..: ( i
" This wiH apply to other counties
as well as to Craven, . Dr. York and
the other candidates on. the Republi
can ticket 1 stand, ' on this plank a
part of the Republican platform
adopted at Raleigh 2d May, 1884: ,
. "Rcsolted, That the' system of govern
ment by which the affairs of the counties
are now administered is utterly subversive
of popular rights; its continuance is an at
tempt to engraft upon the laws .and policy
of Ibe State the Tory ' Dnii'mnleomttoo.

'. The Northern papers and educa
tional journals are constantly discuss-,
ing the defective system that prevails
in that favored section to a consider
able extent. .We have in our way
had occasion from time to time to
point out the great abuse, in the
multiplication of school books; in the
too great tax laid upon the pockets
of parents and guardians; in the ! ex
cessive; number of studies and : the
great strain upon the mind and body
of pupils; in the forcing of children
to learn their lessons at home and to
recite them at school that teaching
Was a lost art and hearing the order
of. the day. . '
I Of course we did not 'mean to say
that all teachers did this, or thai all
schools were amenable to such criti
cism. So far from this there are
schools in which there can be no just!
complaint, that children are not
taught, or that there is too great de
mand upon the mental and physical
energies of pupils,, or where the
books are too many or the tax on the
pocket is excessive. There may be
several such schools in Wilmington.
"We hve good reason for' believing1
that the Graded Schools under Super
intendent "Noble, are exempt, from
just criticism in the direction indi4
cated at the outset. '-,. . '..'" ,
But we meant how simply to draw
It is urged with force that in many
of the Wort hern schools pupils are
kept far too long upon one or two
studies. Arithmetic is first selected
for complaint. The New York -Oft-
'a
server editorially says this:
"A prominent writer on editorial topics
complains that the pupils in our common
schools are kept at work too long upon ar
ithmetic. He finds that a' great many su
perfluous subjects are introduced, and that
tbe application or amnmeiic- to au manner
of possible and impossible transactions is
extended so far that life becomes a burden
to many a pupil before the boot uit nn
ished."u
The editor indorses the statement.
ajtd says that the complaint need not
to be limited to arithmetic, but . may
be extended to "nearly every other
stndy ' pursued in our eommo'n
schools.' -' We suppose that what is
true in the Northern system may be
true in the Southern primary
system. , The editor' says: x

The Observer
says, with pertinent force:
Th6 unnecessary multiplication of f,ext
books on each subject has made it necessa-t
ry for their authors to nil up a part or. eacn
volume with diffuse statements and tedious
details that only hinder progress and bur
den the mind with useless learning, it is
within bounds to say that fully half of the
text books now in use in our common
schools might profitably be dispensed with
altogether, and the remainder cut down to
half their present size and still contain
enough to meet all. the reasonable require

Among other things, he mentioned, his
fruit bill and his food and drug adultera

of Blaine and Cleveland was strong, lucid
and convincing. So forcibly did be show
Lrogan a meanness that the negroes ex
claimi that they could not vote for such a
