class of politicians whose legislation for the
last twenty-three years seems based upon
the theory that tho nation's wealth and
progress can best be promoted by taxation.

mistaken and opposed in poliey, and they
combined to avert strife and toiaeat Old
Hickory Jackson by the passage through
Congress of , Mr. Clay's celebrated "Com
promise Tariff" of 1833. This was based
.upon the principle of an abandonment of
the protective policy. The bill provided
for a gradual reduction of all duties then
above the revenue standard ; that is to say,
so high "as to be prohibitory in fact" and
defeating the object of a tariff, which is
to raise revenue One-tenth" of one-half
of all duties for protection above that
standard was to be taken off annually for
ten years, at the end of which period the
whole of the other hall was to be taKen
off; and thereafter all duties were to be
levied mainly with a view to revenue, and
riot for protection. ; '
In 1842, the year fixed by the Compro
mise for the regulation of duties on the
revenue standard, the protectionists rained
and the Whig Congress passed a law in
which profection and not revenue was the
object.
The Democrats - returned to power in
1845, the revenue tariff of 1846 was
adopted, and under it the country pros
pered, until ' : ' '
In 1861, the Republicans obtained pos

Since that day the tariff has been protect

such a tariff, cuttine off revenue
should have come to the public treasury,
has imposed an" enormous burden on the
people, who have paid for home manufac
tures the prices of foreign goods increased
almost by the amount of the duties that
effectually excluded the foreign goods of
like kind and quality. It is not so now.
The stimulus of protection has so increased
production that the body of the people
feel no burden from protective tariff taxes.
The goods in use by the great masses of
the people are cheaper here than they can
be brought from abroad if admitted duty
free. The consumer has been oppressed,.
whilst the manufacturer, not the manufac
turer's man, waxed fat. The manufacturer
and the manufacturer's man are now the
chief sufferers, but the consumer suffers
with them. Neither knows when the
vliool will turn, or how loner it will
stav turned. Both are tiring of the un-
certainty. Both have learned sense by
dearly bought experience, - and both are
steadily tending to the knowledge that the
old policy is the better policy and that the
sooner it again the pobcy of the country
the better for all. Men are beginning to
see plainly once more, and to recognize the
truth of the axiom that it is by "growing
and producing what we can grow and
produce most cheaply, and by receiving
from other countries what we cannot pro
duce except at too great expense, that the
greatest degree of happipess is to be com
municated to the greatest number ol peo
ple ; that the great interests of the country
are inseparable ; that agriculture, commerce
and manufactures will rise or fall togetner,
and that all legislation is dangerous which
proposes to benefit one of these without
looking to consequences which may fall on
the others." - The commercial marine 01 tne

against the votes of the Democratic party..
The Pennsylvania rebellion followed, and
was crushed ; those who sympathized with
the cause being most active in stamping
out the effect which threatened .the life of
the infant Union. Other articles wcjre
added to the excise, refined sugar, manu-

became more and more odious to the whle
community. The taxes were collected by
force or the fear of it, when collected at
all.
The Democrats came into power with
Mr. Jefferson in 1801, and at once re
pealed all the excise taxes on stills, spirits,
refined sugar, manufactured tobacco, car
riages and stamped paper.
..In 1813, to carry on the war with Eng
land (which cut down the revenuerom im
ports), direct taxes and excise taxes were
again necessary. The war ended in 1815,
and the Democrats were able in 1817 to
dispense with the internal revenue, and re
pealed the levy.
In 1863 they were again necessary to de
fray the expenses of the war .between the
States. The list of artieles taxed would
fill two columns of this paper. One by
one, as the need of taxes decreased these
articles have been stricken from the tax
law; : Banks and bank checks, bank drafts

James Kenan, Fred. Hargbtt, Richard
Clinton, William B. -Grove, John Hat,
Joel Lane. These men and such as these,
their colleagues, alarmed at the measures
before Congress, passed a series of resolu
tions of instruction to the; North Carolina
Senators in Congress.1 One of these reso
lutions Is thus recorded on the pages of
the original manuscript journals filed in
the Capitol:
i "Resolved, That tliey strenuoiuily op
pose every excise and direct taxation law,
should any le qttemptid in Congress."
i The resolutions passed the House unani
mously on "Friday, December 10, 1790;
were sent to the Senate on Saturday;
passed that body with like unanimity on
Monday; and on Tuesday a message from
the Senate announced to the House its
concurrence in the resolutions, which had
been carefully considered before final
action in Committee of the Whole by each
House.
LThe State and the Democratic party in
the State have ever maintained that posi
tion.
In 1870, the Democrats regained control
of the State Legislature, which had fallen
into Republican hands in the days of re
construction. Immediately, true to the
policy of the State, and of the partfin all
the States from the beginning of the Gov
ernment, they commenced to wage war
against the excise tax laws by resolutions
of instruction to Senators and Repmenta-
tives. In 1870-71-73, the tax was reeded
by the Government to pay the debts of
war, and the instructions were to seek re
ductions and modifications, if such were
possible. But in 1874, 1876, 1881, 1883,
the tax being no longer necessary, tlie de
mand has been for repeal. Annexed are
the " resolutions of instruction to otr Sen
ators and Representatives in Conjress,"

with the political and social history of
North Carolina: and its restoration under
the lead of one whose very name warms

its welcome by one by whom the name of

Asheville has been known to tourists and
summer visitors for very many years ; from
trrpiitor nHst facilities of' apfiess. better
known to the people of sea-coast South
Carolina than to our own Eastern people.
Three-quarters.,of a century ago the people
of Charleston, escaping from the summer
heat and malaria of the coast, sought
refuge in the mountains of North Carolina.
Families of wealth and culture found such
healthful retreat in Buncombe : loner time
ago, when it was the undivided "State of
Buncombe," and before Henderson and
Transylvania had been cut from its exten
sive and beautiful domain, what is now
Henderson county attracted and retained
hu fnrthe l.irorpst number of these refugees
J o
for health ; and so beautiful was the scen
ery, and so charming the climate, that
what 'was first sought as a temporary
health resort, became permanent abodes,

THE ORIGINAL POPULATION.
A portion of that stream flowed on as
far as Asheville; was there arrested and
became stationary; and, combined with
the original population, always distin
guished for its intellectual energies and its
intuitive refinement, formed a community
of such culture and intelligence as was
always an astonishment to those of our own
State who crossed the Blue Ridge for the
first time with their preconceived opinion
of what they were to meet in a primitive
' L. 1 '11
trans-mouniam court nouse village.
For many years Asheville lived along this
quiet life ; almost unchanged in size, with
little increase to its population, left in its
seclusion, disturbed sometimes during the
summer months by the chance traveller,
hut attemntino' little addition to its num-
X o . .
bers by inducements of business, it had a j
relative importance of its own.
THE MART OF THE MOUNTAINS.
It was the central mart of the then
thinly settled Western Nrth Carolina;
and it was on that great highway between
the great grain fields of East Tennessee and
the rich pastures of Kentucky and the cot
ton fields of the South, to which were
driven the countless droves of hogs and
sheep and cattle and horses and mules, the
product of those fields and pastures. In
the fall and winter there was not a day,
nor scarce an hour, when the main street
of Asheville was not throned with droves
of one or the other of these animals, and
made alive with tho vociferous shouts and
cries of the drivers or herdsmen.

thisi 6pot becomes almost a holy temple,

WHAT THE RAILWAY BROUGHT.
When work on the Western North Car
olina Railroad was brought to the foot of
the mountains, and when contracts for the
construction and extension were made on
the western side of the Ridge, there began
to be a change. Strangers came in, busi
ness was enlarged, and impulse given to
hopes and plans that were justified when at
length the road had pierced the mountain
and made its way into the Valley of the
French Broad; and from that day dates
the new birth of Asheville.
a lovely plateau.
The town, or city, as it may be called by
legislative sanction, is situated on a broken
plateau, elevated abort'20U ieet ovc iii
i THE INFLUENCES OF VISITORS.
T7 the Hfrsinorer is duo much of the life
of society and much of the life of the busi
ness of Asheville for several months or the
year. Made of easy access by railroad
from -the East and South, and from the
West and North, Asheville receives dich
summer from 20,000 to 25,000 health or
pleasure seekers. Their presence creates
necessity Ior many ana large noteis; anu
the spacious and" elegant "Swannanoa,"
the enlarged and handsome "Eagle," have
grown responsive to the demand ; besides
which are the Grand Central; the Central,
the Carolina and the minor Hotels; to
which in the season are added boarding
houses innumerable. Few are the private
hoascs that do not entertain to the extent
of their capacities. Nor i3 winter un
marked by the presence of visitors. Many
come from the New England States, New
YnrV Pennsvlvania and Ohio, from Mich
igan, Iowa' and Wisconsin, not that they
hope to escape the cold entirely, but to
find a climate much less rigorous than the
one they left, and to enjoy an atmosphere
dry, elastic and invigorating.
CHARMING CLIMATE.
The climate of Asheville is its chiefest
charm, r Though at an elevation of 2,500
feet above the sea, its temperature is rarely
lrn.-T in winter than that of the middle
region of the State; while in summer it
never reaches the height that marks op
pression. The rain-fall is less and the
snow-fall also much less than on the other
side of the mountains; and the invalid
has therefore more fine days for out-door
exercise than elsewhere in tne Mate.
RIDING AND DRIVING.
The presence of the stranger has given
birth to another peculiar feature of Ashe
ville. No where in the State are there so
many or so well equipped livery stables,
nowhere so manv eleeant vehicles for hire.
no where seen so many equestrian parties,
and I may safely say, no where so many
donkeys, the favorite beast for invalid la
rlioa an tittlfi crirls: and the lonfr-eared.

picking their deliberate way among the

Connected with the livery service it is
pleasant to add that within the last two
years great addition has been made to the

always good), r our miles oi macad

day be had the material for many a grateful

come the electric light, almost provided
for, and then Asheville will fully have en
tered upon its city life career.
PEOPLE AND HOUSES.
Asheville has n,ow a population of 5,000,
increased since the railroad reached the
Sunninn:i Junction, in Julv. 1881. from
2,800. The change is not so much in the
Increase of population as in the valuation
of property. Lots are not now sold by the
acre, but by the foot. Two hundred dol
Irlnrs a front foot, three hundred dollars.
four hundred dollars are not uncommon.
Suburban property, three years ago dull at
fifty dollars an acre, commands five hun

Buildings have sprung up, arc -springing

fact is patent that even more imperatively

others which grew into living realities.

and'r generation. It is no won At the
descendants Of such a race of-' n!;n are

This is indeed a very big State, and
within its borders are many very good peo

But letter-writers and telegraphers to the
Northern papers are rather overdoing the

gained immense strength if "booms"
may be said to have strength at Boston.
The people who read the marvelous' sto
ries lately printed about the swamp lands
of the East and the tin mines of the West
may take it into their heads to look into a
geography, or into the Census Compen

is danger that they come to the conclusion
that North Carolina is like history, -all a he.
Keen within bounds, and do not over
step the modesty of nature, even in telling
the truth. Few States have within them
such wonderful resources as this, and few
people can believe without seeing that they
exist here. That was a shrewd Irishman
who, dictating a letter which his employer
was writing for him to his brother' in the
ould country, requested that it be stated
that here in America he was allowed meat
once a day. ' ' Why," said the amanuensis,
stopping, "why do you aak me to write
that, when you know that you have meat
three times a day V "Ah," said the ser
vant, "but they would think me such a

which, each over six thousand ieei nigu,

FARM AND FOREST.
Tn tm north of Adheville the view is
down the French Broad River, presenting
a beautiful, but not a bold picture of
mountain landscape, in which farm and
luicoi, iiuuuui uiuusirieB nuu uukwhw
ture, are happily blended or contrasted.
Towards the north, up the French Broad,,
there is strange disappearance of mountain
characteristics. The mountains on the
right gradually diminish in perspective ;
while on the left isolated masses, off-shoots
from the Blue Ridge, thrust themselves
out into that great plain which forms so

tween, and in the far distance, are seen the
Blue Ridge, the Southern boundary of Hen
demon and Transylvania counties.
Each, clear evening, when the sun is
sinking to the West,, throngs of visitors
and townspeople gather on Battery Porter,
a grass-covered hill in the very centre of
Asheville, from wbieh the eye may sweep
with unobstructed vision around the whole
horizon, and take in 11 the glories of the
invariably gorgeous sunsets, or delight
itself in the changing coloring of the
landscape, as parting day fade away into
trough of the French Broad, and thus
brought it to Asheville ; it couiu not nave
extended itself towards Murphy and Duck
town unless it followed up the valley of
Hominy Creek, which opened into the val

easy grade to the top of the Balsam Moun-
tains, unless it bmucu um.. -
A fllipvillp and SDartan-
burg Road could have no hope unless it
sought iAe northern outlet by Asheville.
The Carolina, Cumberland Gap and
Chicago Road, now4n progress, must find
its cheapest and most feasible route by
way of Asheville; the Asheville and Burns
ville Road, with extension into Tennessee
and Southwest Virginia, has no way to
reach the seacoast with its freights of coal
and iron unless by Asheville; and the
.u o,3 RtitViorfnrfi Road, now the
n-ivo pnfrsii finishpd to Shelby, some
day will be pushed to its contemplated
terminus, and must of necessity come to
sheville. The roads that are named will
all eventually be built, and will all con
verge upon this as their centre.
7 A GREAT tobacco market.
There is another solid foundation for the
hope of lasting prosperity '.Apart from
other developments wmcn iuuu
roads, there is one product alone which
will do for Asheville what it has done for
Durham, Winston, Reidsville and Danville.
Three years ago last August I visited Ashe
ville to obtain information on the subject
of tobacco. There was then one small
warehouse, the annual sales of which did
not reach 200,000 pounds. Now there are
four large warehouses of brick, equal in
O . Oai. A mhinh
all respects to any in me
during the month of January the sales
amounted to 488,000 pounds. The sales
1 , aoon will reach 3,000,000
pounds; and next year, such is the enthu
siasm of planters at the high prices they
receive, these receipts will be more than
doubled. The tobacco area proves to be a
very wide one, embracing a. large portion
of all the trans-montane counties,
of the finest coming from Swain county.
