From the t^satlon of the government of the United States, there hss been a- con teat be tween tho?e who * believe In democracy or a govoifftment of the people, by tho people and for the people, snd those whli oelleved the people Incapable Of vsetf govern ment. Some of the leaders of the lat ter Idea even went so far In their dls truat of populsr governafcnt as to de sire to lbvtte Urt-ijlw tftyYb'tk', younger brother to* the king of Eng land to rtfle over us. Tho people of the new union feUcltcMdthemselves In tho confidence that the had adopt a.rpaBtUiif1na that 4aa-a.^onapro mise baaed upon the combined wis dom and aoundeat philosophy of 6, 000 ye. The party representing the rule of the people was led by Thomas Jefferson and those Immortal prin ciples have been vigordusly ifpheld for nearly a century and a half. They held a strict construction of the con stitution which was the charter of ^helr liberties. They believed thai all power is by this political Scrip ture vested in the people and should forever remain there. The rounders of our Republic realised that next to the eatsblishment of their independ ence the most Important matter be fore them was the question of taxa tion, and a chle? source of opposition to the Federal government was the dread of Federal taxation. They fear ed that as the most Isldlous form of tyranny. ?nd around this question for more Than one and a quarter cen-j turles has raged the great fires of party conflict. They realised that the powek* to tax was. the pow er to enrich or destroy., They knew that taxation was the custo mary weapon of tyrants with which to oppress the masses of the people. Time has proved that thla distrust was well founded. Alexander Hamilton said that protection to available must be got out of the belly and back of the great mass of the people." Hamil ton agreed that a tariff of 7 1-2 per cent which was the average rate of our find Import duties was sufficient. By 181^4.t had been raised to 20 per cent?then came the "tariff of abom inations in 1827" At this time Thom *a? H. Benton (in 1828) said the agricultural states of "Virginia, North Carolina. South Carolina aiyd Georgia defray 2-4 oCthe,annual ex pense of supporting the Federal gov ernment and of tg&Ie great* sum an nually furnished by them, nothing or next to nothing le returned to them In the shape of government expen dyures.' To show the nnnnlmlty of the sentiment of the 8outh against sf high tariff It may be observed that a protective tariff waa explicitly for bidden by the Confederate constitu tion. Thla was the position of the South then and now, and represents the position of the Democratic party Under the preeent tariff the Sooth and West are the vassal section* of the Union?black chattel slavery ha* been abolished and whHe Industrial slavery tns been substituted and the bloody .*??( of i MUI unM ud tariff schedule* are written by its J>en?llclaries and the electorate ia al moat aa openly, shamelesaly purchaa ed aa (n the days of Praetorian' guard.

In 1860 under Buch anan the expenae of the Federal government were 82.01 per capita, in '97 under Cleveland $5.10, fa 1910 under Taft $12.00 per capita. Mr. Aldrich, of tariff and rubber trust fame, aays the government can be run by bualneaa men $ 94)0,000, 000 a year cheaper than it la. Mr. Taft. the "aecond fiddler" In the Re publican orchestra aaya It should be run $100,000,000 cheaper than It la. The appropriation of the laat Con crete waa $1,020,000,000.

Of thla vaat aum of over one billion appropriated by the last congress. North Carolina 'probably contribute^ through the tariff $25,000,000 or $26,000,000 and In direct taxes from Internal rev enue there waa collected In North Carolina for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1910, $5,919,634. Accord ing to a letter I have from the com missioner of Internal revenue at Washington has paid since 1866 $130,136,276.U in. Internal revenue taxes. It ii a conaervativc estimate to aay that North Carolina contrib utes thla year $30,000,000 of the government expenditures, about $15 per capita or enough In one year to vsa^ksr state government tan years. In all her hlatory North Carolina has had for lnternsl improvements from the Federal government less than $6,000,000?les sthan she contrib utes |n a direct revenue taf for this year. ' ? In all her history North Carolina has had from the Federal govern ment for public buildings $l,ir8, 512.20 or les than one-third of what has been collected fro mhe?keople in a dlgect revenue tax for this^year. This Includes $80,000 for year 1910. t Of the more than one billion dol lars appropriated for 1909-10, agri culture gets a little less than $13, 000.000. Army and navy pensions gets dver $400,000,000 or two-fifths of the total expenditure of the re public. Of this vast sum In 1909 more than $160,000,000 was paid to 946,194 pensioners representing many honest Union soldiers, but hun dreds of thousands of foreign mer cenaries, hirelings, camp folld?ers, bummers* ex-slaves and non-depend ent widows. This represents . the greatest cor ruption fund the world has o*er seen, and Is a rotten cancer ?ote that eats inte the life of the repub lic, a brpod of evils masquerading! under the false face of patriotism. More tban three and a half billions j have been paid In pensions since the war and two-thirds of It has gone North of the Ohio and East of the Mississippi rivers. It is due the Federal government pat we recognise the rural delivery, which la the greatest benefit the gov ernment has ever conferred upon us. The convenience Instigated by the Democrat, L. F. Livingston of Geor gia In '92 and finally secured thru the efforta of Thomas Whtson In '93, then a Democrat from Georgia, Is a great bletelag' to our people, but the Federal government has the most benighted poetofflce system in the /civilised world and our people as4 denied the advantages of a par celt poet enjoyed by all other coun trlee. This would be a great con venience to our people and save them hundreds of millions a 'year If the expfeas companies of the country would permit the government to give the people thin relief and at the same time wipe out the frontal de ficit.

Although not ojenly insurbordlnate, soldiers fluahed with rlctory are ahowing ex treme Independence and, are cham pioning the maintenance of strong power In the 'hands of the military. The government's real reason for according leave of abeence for four months with full pay. to the soldiers who took part in the revolution, la the desire to bre^k up the regiments temporarily and'remove the danger of a military rebellion. The majority of the soldiers, how ever have refused to accept thla of aaylug tbat they would not be duped by the deceptive liberality on the part of the cabinet The mlulater of war vlalted their barracks and pleaded the necessity of patlonce of forbearance during the trying moment ef the republic. The mlnlater of Juatlce Is framing a bill lwcy'*!g to 'the separation of church and stat^. The republican press declares that the presence of Mr. Maaella, whom Mgr.

We have equality under the consti tution and we propose Jo stand for the Democratic doctrine of equal right* to all ?and apecial privileges to none. We believe a day of reck oning la at hand, the con8cience of the American must awake and th*v will asaert themselves. The people of this country will know the truth and the truth It will make them free. The South will not repudiate her principles. Rederal gold cannot buy ua and force bllla and Foderal bayoneta cannot coerce or intimidate the Southern people. To the South, the con^prvnilve South, the moat American part of the Union. we may have one day to look for the preservation of sur In stitutions. the perpetuation of our llbertlea and the salvation oI the lie public. The atate of North Carolina ?? paying more according to its prop erty values than Massachusetts, an ? we have a double burden In provid ing for the two races. We are no longer reproached as a lagga d In educational matters. North Caroli na leads tho 8outh. The superintendent of pubilj In struction of North Carolina ia re garded as the head of the education al progress of the South, and Is rec ognized an one of the educational leaders of America. He is president of the Southern Superintendents' As sociation, and also was the last pres ident of the American National edu cational Association. But the Republican party points with pride to its educational record. During the war, when our soldiers and thelr\familiea cried for bread, when wounded and dying men lay In the hoapitals at Richmond. Peters burg, Weldon, Wilson, 8allabary, Charlotte, and other pfacea, and needed medicine. Governor Vance waa appealed to use the school fund 4or that purpoae, but he re garded It as sacred.

THE RECITAL LAST NIGHT Nothing but the hlgheet praise to heard on the streets today for the re cital glren at the First -Methodist church last night by Dr. Minor C. Baldwin. Our people expected something One In the musical line but the reci tal far exceeded their expectations. Every number on the program was a masterpiece and rendered by a mas terr" Nothing like it has ever been beard In Washington. Under his touch the great organ was as respon sive o? a babe to its mother. Dr. Baldwin Is cer^lnly a musical art ist. The universal verdict today is It was matchless, superb grand. No one after hearing him manipulate hi* various selections can marvel that he has won for himself an internaUonai reputation. 9^^ The program was severely classi cal and faultlessly rendered?he Just simply held his large audience spell bound. Tho masterpiece of the reci tal was "The 8torm In the Moun tains" composed by Mr. Baldwjn. Words are inadequate to describe this selection. Nothing to equal It anywise was ever heard. He is a musical wonder, a genius without a peer in his profession. One of the features of the recital was the rendition of a voc#l selec tion by Mrs. D. M.
