To see how the. people of this country are burdened by the taxes levied upon them from year to year we turn td the able speech made in the U. S. House by Mr. H. G. Turner, of Georgia, (a native of North Caro lina) in May last. He! said, and his figures were not challenged by the opposition: "Our aggregate circulation of gold, silver and paper money, including the funds in the Treasury, is estimated to amount to about $1,500,000,000. The people paid to the Government in tariff taxes $317,000,000 and in excise duties $117,000,00 makinga total taxation of t834.60O.ooo it iJ. This immense tribute is over 22 percent, of all the money in the country. We have ?iT-5.lJ5 'or eaoh man, woman and Wnor $27.60 on each family of five per- This is very onerous. Were we not right when we said taxation was a curse and that it was the duty of the Congress to visit the people with just as little of that ual necessities of the country would allow ? .. . .. ; ; ' ! Taxation a curse. Every dol- vB iiasen trom you is so many pounds of beef or bacon or lard or flour. It reduces your means "vtng jubi mat much, Do uunger after high taxes? greatly desire that the taxes should be higher than they are, and they are surely very high now? Read the above statement'again by Mr. Tur ner. General Dockery explioitly fa vors higher taxes. . He has planted himself squarely on the Chicago plat form, that positively demands higher taxes.- . ! But high as thetaxes are you pay the Government they are not all. Be assured of that.' It is true as truth itself. How so, do you ask? Well, do you not pay the Ameri can Manufacturers the greedy, all- grabbing, Monopolists, a 'great sum in addition? Are they not bounty fed, and if so whence conies the bounty? Who pays it? Is there but one answer? Is it not the con- umerf Now . we turn to ;Mr. Tur ner excellent ; speech again. He says of the taxation collected under the great, grinding War Tariff by tneManufacturers: . j "The total value of all the manufactured products of the United States returned ac cording to the last census amounted to $5,808,667,700. Our dutiable imports last year amounted to $4au,UUU,UUU in round numbers, on which we collected over $217,000,000. As our duties are laid con fessedly for protection, it is very probable that on the immense aggregate of our domestic manufactures, in competition "liu wnicn our iaxea imports are sola an addition of value is placed equal to many times the income of the tariff to the Gov ernment. -cm taxing sj3i7.UU0.00U as a measure oi ine counties paid last year to our manu facturers, let us commute protection-into an annuity, computed at the Government rate of Si per cent; the principal of that annuity would amount to $6,200,000,000. That annuity is the interest on a sum greater than the cost of the war! And the moderation of this estimate of protection no man will deny.. I "The enormous taxation which I have endeavored to outline is so contrived as to bear lightly on the rich and prosperous and heavily on the poor and unfortunate. To those who do not need, it is a largess and benefaction;. to those States and their people that are cramped by narrow and scant means, it is a hindrance and oppres sion. To the flatter it is a deduction from the comforts and necessaries of life, from the education of their children; a burden upon the offices of religion and charity; a tax on school, on church and on home." entlaw of 67.72. Under the Senate bill Vt : will be increased to 154.05. And B0 on for- higher -grides. So this Is the way the Radical Sena-, tors propose to relieve the laboring people in their clothing, &c.,. by making the tax two or three times higher. Mr. Moore says and voters should take heed: . "The Mills bill makes the above aoods 40 per cent, ad valorem. Wages to operatives in woollen mills is 16.08 ver cent. "Why don't the Republican tariff spouters wave their Senate Tariff bill. which was to make the issue against the Mills bill, in defiance in the faces of the tariff reformers? Whv do they allow me, who has foueht this villainous idol of Baal for 21 years, to expose this mon strosity r But when you come to the cost of living, the advantage is on the side of the English jlaborer.

He says ; ' tax-payers, reflect that the very inventors and proDOsers of a tariff change which is to make everybody happy and prosperous are stuaiousiy Keeping trom tne people ineir own work simply because they dare not and cannot defend it. Now, let me lift the curtain and show this villainous tax in its full imposition. "Woollen knit goods mada on knitting frames means, among other things, of course woollen or worsted hosiery. The unit of value on the lowest class of this goods was in 1887, about 18 7 cents per pound,! or say 181 cents. The duty at present is on such goods 10 cents per pound and 85 per cent, ad valorem, which brings It up to 88.83 per cent. Hut. protection wnicn loves tne Deonie. came to tne con elusion that real happiness is not to be ob tainea in 88. S3 per cent, protection, so tney pnt it up simply on changing tne .ciasaia cation to "a5.33 per cant.' "Oh ! you blind, tax-ridden DeoDle of this lair landl do you fully understand what 258 per cent means? It means that you have to pay for 2i dozen or 80 pairs or wool sioaines in oraer to set la nam xoe civmzea woria cannot siana sacn a monstrous tax on necessaries of life. But while the cheap goods are taxed high the rich man's Koods are of course dealt len ientlywith. According to this Senate bill. if the finest worsted or woollen hosiery used oy me ncn should cost. sav. S3 a nonnd abroad the duty would be exactly 65 per cent. "All the reports of the sneakers and workers go to show that we are mnch stronger than in 1884; and for myself I have no douot of Democratic success in New York. New Jersey and Connecticut Where I have sooken we have had verv large audiences, and the enthusiasm mani fested has been most 'gratifying. The au diences' have been verv lareelv eomivtaod of workingmen. and they have been aiwava the most attentive listeners. The working people are not scared bv the erv of fre trade." - - : Nathaniel Watts, a veteran defen der of Baltimore.in the war of 1814 died on 28th Oct., aged 93. A special to the Philadelphia Times says: ! "As good a Methodist as he was a Dem ocrat, the veteran was nranared In rife but he prayed that his life be spared until he could vote, once more for Cleveland. Only a few weeks ago he had the registra tion officer of his ward come "to his. bed- aide and books place his name on the poll A WHITE MAN'S GOVERNMENT. True to God, he was true' to his country. That of course made him a Democrat."" - Mr. Turner says that a Tariff is a tax on consumption levied upon man's wants, and apportioned not ac cording to means but to man's ne cessities.' It is also, he says, an tn come tax1 that is it is a tax graded according to what they buy, bearing' "Hardest on those who have to spend all that they make' Now General Dockery is fierce and vigorous for just such ' a tax as this. But let us quote again from Mr. Turner'd able speech : j - - -; j "But inequality is the foundation of the system of protection, and the only induce ment for its preservation. If a scheme of protection could be devised by which each citizen could tax his neighbor just as much as his neighbor could tax him it would be equality, but it would meet with scant fa vor. The present system is worse, because J it ia ongsnaage witnout reciprocity. "Let us expose some of the profits of protection according to its own returns made during the last census vear. Th ital invested in mannfactnrea thn imnnni. vd to $2,790,273,606; materials used cost v3,3so,os3.ow: wages, $941,953,795; total pouc $o,ooa,oi,iai. it can be easily seen from these figures that manufacturers made enormous gains, amounting in clear net profits to more than four times the in come of the Government from the tariff." ine lie that Protection advances wages has been often punctured by us. The Low Walker Tariff aver aged 19 per cent. Under that tax labor received a greater portion of the product .than it receives under the huge War Tariff now in force of 47.10 per cent. Under a Low Tariff labor got 20 cent of total product; nowjit receives but 16 per cent. Men of sense honest, intelligent work ing men Bhoold think of these things when the Blaines and other tooters for Monopoly endeavor to mislead and j beguile them by false tatements and false hopes. The War Tariff does not fix wages. Tbw we have often shown. There is a great variation of -wages, even in our own country, where the same Tariff covers all and operates every where. There is no uniformity in the wages in the various States or different sections. For instance, in Maine (Blaine's own State) wages av erage $257 a year or some 75 cents a day, while in Massachusetts, not far off, the average is $385 a year.or more than a dollar a day. Vermont pays $303 average. The law of supply and demand is what fixes the prices. With labor in excess of the demand prices will be low. That Is the law of po litical economy.. WE 1 you Do yon URGE LiBOBINR mm w BEAU THIS. . Do not lose eight of the abominable fraud, the Republican Senate Tariff bill. That bill is laid in the interest of the Rich Man.' The Mills bill is planned to bring some relief to the oppressed Poor Man. Mr. J. S. Moore, the able economical writer who discusses the Tariff question in the New York. Times, has an artiole in that paper of the 25th inst., which is startling. , It shows ""the positive rascality of the Senate bill. He gives a table we cannot reproduoe; It shows that under the existing Tariff knit! goods not exceeding 30 cents per pound in valuation are taxed 10 cents per pound and 35 per hundred weight. This is equivalent, he says, to 88.33 per cent, ad valo rem. ; ' , . Now what does the infamous Sen ate bill propose as a substitute? Mr. iuoore says it proposes j 258.33 oent; ad valorem or its Monstrous! Knit goods above 30 and not ceeding;40 cents per pound under the present law is taxed 65.20 ad va lorem. The Republican bilUncreasea it to 145.70. And; so on for higher knit goods. . . ', ' ' .. p.. I - ao uaimorais, the same rascally features prevail j Goods under .80 and not above 40 cento a pound have an aa valorem value under the pros per equivalent. ex- TXT 1 1 m V -i-fc v Que ine rtepuoncan party in North Carolina is the negro party. there are white men who like the fel lowship. There are probably now i.000 negro voters in the State. The Rads oppose drawing a color line for a double reason. They would lose voters by it, and it would put a stigma upon the whites who deserted race and caste and went over to the ''brother in black." The Democratic part is the White Man? party. It has always been that since 1865. There is no genuine, self-respecting, decent, reputable Democrat t in all North Carolina who desires to see a negro in office bossing white men. The color line has never been prop erly drawn in North Carolina. If it had been drawn you would have seen much fewer whites ' hob nobbing and "brothering" with the blacks. While the Democrats have favored a White Man's party and White Man's government,they are not either unkind or unfriendly to the blacks. lbe best colored men know that their truest friends and best wishers are the dominating; self-reliant, su perior men of the Aryan stock that will brook no masters. The follow ing from the Democratic Hand-Book is suitable reading at this time. Let all self-respecting white men ask themselves if they can afford to be long to a party in which probably nine tenths are negroes an inferior race no better than "rogues" and "savages" to a great extent, acord- ing to our townsman, Judge Russell. The Hand-Book says: "l he .Democratic party is the white man's party, and it is against their creed that a negro should be in authority over a white man. and the Radical party, is the negro man s party ana tninxs a negro is ai good as a white man. The highest Radical vote has never reached 116.000, and the ccdsus reiuroB snow roey nave 105,000 ne gro voters, while tbe whole of our vote it may be said, is white. Negroes who can vote and fail to vote at least once during au wwuuu sic as ovarce u ueaa males, it is to be expected, therefore, that the party action of the Radicals should belnfavoj of the negroes and require the constant warning cry on our part to white men ; But for all that, the Democratic is and has oeen a true rrtend to the negro, and has uvfus everytmug ior nig material advance- meiu mat it naa been possible to do. The xutuicai pny nas aone nothing for him however, but eive him the rluht . tn . Tola and that right they gave him not to benefit mm, out to help themselves. . The xsemocrauc party oener mends to the col ored race than the white Radicals, who only use them as tools in elections for po litical purposes. ' It seems that the colored voters do not think how often they have Tuwu me naaicai ucxet, ana how little they have been benefited by it. Tne white Radicals get the turkey and the colored the uuzoaru every time. The West letter was a Republican trick. It was nOt to be nabliahed until just on the eve of tbe election and thus make capital against Mr. Cleveland without any chance to act or offset it. 1 But a sharp local edU. tor got hold of it and published it. And now all the harm done is to the trloky Radicals. Jit has helped Mr. Cleveland no little for he has made the British Minister to take his de parture and "stand not on the order of his going." ! Sunset Cox proposed to wager with Senator Evarts on the election. The Senator declined, but said "if Cleveland is elected I will read "in the Congressional' Record avarv - "" j speech yon make gress. If Harrison somewhat frighte iog odds, but final next term of Con- is elected you shall similarly read mine." Mr. . Cox was ned by the appall- ly consented to the terms of the wager. Spot 7hiai. A few of the white butchers In Front street market; displeased because they cannot control the city eovern- ment and have narket ordinances framed to suit :1 themselves, have de clared their porbose to vote and work for the Republicans, and are try ing- to induce others to pledge support to the negro ticketjat cne approaching election. The ordinance complained of, however, and for which they pro pose to hold j the Democratic party responsible, received the vote of every Republican member of the Board of Aldermen, and the only vote against its adoption was given by a - Democratic Alderman from the Third Ward. ! -Not all the dealers in the market" are tainted, however.

Keeping Cotton Baca. r The Savannah News prints a state ment of a leading Savannah cotton buyer, who says he has Information that the Farmers' Alliance of Georgia and Alabama have taken united ac tion to withhold their cotton from the market from Nov. 1 to Nov. 20, and for a double purpose on account of the high price of bagging as arbitrarily fixed by the bagging trust, and be cause ootton is, in their judgment, selling at figures below what it should command, and they argue that by keeping back the cotton for twenty days the price of bagging will decline and cotton will appreciate In value. The gentleman says that cotton has been and is now kept from going for ward for the reasons which combined to bring about the action of the Far men' Alliance, and that the falling off in the receipts of cotton is due to the causes above mentioned. - He says the fields are white, and the crop large, bnt that the quality is inferior, show ing discoloration, and that while he could have bought 1,000 bales of strict middling at this time a year, ago, it would beyery difficult to., buy one third that amount from factors now.

The Are originated within the engine room of the Aurora; or the job printing office of Bibiogton, Roberts & Co., and in a few moments the centre of the building was wrapped in flames. ( The town is utterly without fire apparatus, and although the cry of fire and the sound of the bells quick ly drew large crowd to the scene of the disaster, j nothing : could save the block, which was entirely j consumed.

Webb & Son saved some of their stock, but with trifling exceptions all the other property is a complete loss- During the fire a number of explosions of kerosene and gunpowder occurred, bnt no one was seriously injured, For a time it seemed as though all the adjoining buildings would be burned, but though the fire is still burning at 10 o'clock, ii is oeuevea mat mere win be no more losses.

A close examination of his report as to wages shows why the day wage. in higher in the United States than in Europe.

I have been informed that on November 5th there is to be a circular issued throughout the United States, among members of the Knights of Labor, bearing my signature, and advising members to vote for a certain candidate. Interviews with me are to be published on the eve of the election, in which 1 1 am made to speak for a certain party and candidate. Members of this Or der will see to it that no deception is prac ticed on them by any such transparent fraud. I have not and will not issue such circular; will not be interviewed on the sit uation. So do not be deceived. Burn all documents which are sent to you by the agents of parties, i Politicians have nothing to build up this Order. It is a standing re proach to their mismanagement in the past. it is an undying evil that they have for years been engaged in. and if parties had ineir way tbe Order would have no exist ence. 8o do not allow your enemies, dis guised as friends.
