Payne ia by vir tue of fact of his being chairman of the Ways and Meaus Committee in the House of Hepi-esentiirivea is the nominal leader of the Republican party in Congress, yet in reality he is only a figurehead, for Job Dalzell, who has been in Congress fcr 22 years, is the leader, and he it is whom the laboring men of tau North declared to be "the worst en emy the laboring man has." The labor organizations are seek iug Dalzell's scalp this year. Dal zell has been the determined toe of legislation which the laboring meu have tried to have passed at Wash ington. When rock-ribbed Republican Maine goes overwhelmingly Demo cratic as it did in the, election last week and Democratic state officers and the legislature and half the repre sentatives in Congress and will elect a Democratic United States Senator this fall, there is encouragement for all. There has not been a Demo cratic Governor in Maine for thirty years. It has been forty years since there was a Democrat elected to Congress, and it has been more than half a century since a Democratic United States Senator was elected. It seems that the whole world is coming to the great principles of Andrew Jackson and Thomas Jef ferson equal rights to all and spec ial privileges to none. JUSTICE REPLIES TO A. E. HOLTON. Hon. E. J. Justice, in a recent speech in Rockingham county, re plied to the strictures of District Attorney Holton in a recent inter, view in which the District Attorney condemned the Democratic party for failing to curb the trusts. Mr. Justice's answer was decidedly con vincing. The circumstance was pointed ont that Mr. Holton had been district attorney for more than twelve years without prosecuting against a trust. Mr. Justice scored the district attorney for setting himself up as a critic of the Demo cratic party for its attitude toward trusts, Mr. Justice ! declaring most emphatically that Mr. Holton was the last man living on the earth to criticise the Democratic party in this connection. Referring to Mr. Holton's complaint that the Demo crats had not enacted an effective state anti-trust law, Mr. Justice told of the record of the Democrats and Republicans in the legislature. Mr. Justice said that in 'one of the ef forts made in recent years to secure the enactment of an effective anti trust law, every Democrat in the House voted for the bill and every Democrat in the Senate except four. The bill would have been passed if a single Republican could have been induced to rote for it. Mr. Holten has not been heard from on this subject since, and probably will not be again in criticising " the Demo crata for lack of effective legislation. The Republican ' party is in a weaving way. Following the slump in Vermont, here cornea Maine with a routing - Democratic majority. Massachusetts will follow as well as many other Republican SUtee, The question of Democratic majority in the next Congress is no longer in doubt. 1 - The sweeping Democratic victory in Maine foreshows an overwhelm ing Democratio victory on Novem. ber 8th. Jf the Republicans cannot hold Maine io the Republican col umn, pray tell ns bow they expert such states as Ohio. New York and Indiana. What can they do in -etate like North Carolina wter there ia a strong, aggTuai ve TK rat- cratic party which has made good in state and county ? One of the principal issues in Maine was extravagance, a nation wide issue. Talk about extrava gance by the Democrats in North Carolina. Did you know that the Republicans expend more than forty times as much in running the gov em men t of New York as the Demo ciats spend in North Carolina, Yet no State is going forward so rapidly in public improvements as North Carolina. North Carolina is the best governed State in the Union. This year's appropriation by Con gress amounted to $1,098,387,181 A simple arithmetical calculation shows that the national government costs $3,507,085.00 for every work ing day in the year. Truly does the New York World say that the country will be astound ed on the morning of November 9, when it learns of the proportions of the Democratic victory and the ex tent of the Republican defeat. The discontent grows every day. Republican victory is hopeless and becoming more so day by day. The press notices and favorable comments the State over concerning the recent meeting of the National Farmers' Union at Charlotte were deserving to the letter. It was a meeting of a wise and progressive organization striving to imbed in the minds of the people the urgent ne cessity of putting into force, the modern methods of farming. Striv ing to imbed into the minds of think ing people the reason why the firmer should be trained for his life occu pation. The many involved ques tions of vital interest to the farmer that were discussed in that meeting can but leave its impress for benefit to the great aggregation known as the tillers ot the soil. While these meet ings for the farmers interests may not reap flourishing results from their efforts at first, yet they are scattering seed on fertile ground that surely will bring forth a bountiful harvest in the years that are to come. It is truly encouraging to note the progress along these lines that have thus far been made, and may the day speedily come when each and every farmer will wake up to the fact that these organizations known as uniont, have their interests at heart and are Btriving to maintain standing room for the establishment of these modern methods of tilling the soil. JOHN M. JULIAN. John M. Julian, the brilliant editor of the Salisbury Daily Post, died at Salisbury on September the lOth at the age of 35 years. He was the eldest son of the late D. R. Ju lian, and was for many years Chair man of the Democratic Executive Committee of Rowan County. He was a strong speaker, as well as a brilliant writer. His funeral was largely attended by a number of friends throughout the state. , Comments on the Financial Report Cemmaicated. Take a glance at that report of the county's finances and their man. agement, as approved and entered upon the Minute Book of the county commissioners at their last meeting. You will see that almost $8,500 have been paid out of the sreneral fund, since June, 1908, , npon the new court house alone. You will see that nearly $17,000 naa been paid, out of the same fund. d urine the last three vears and a half, for the building and tip-keep of the bridges in the county. Yon will see th-t nearly $1,300 naa been spent, out ot the same fund, for the betterment and np keep of the public roads in the county. Yon will see that the payments made for the maintenance of the destitute diseased and insane of the county it the county home, and to tne deserving poor, ana unfortunate of our county amounts to 8,835.27, during the period beginning Janu ary, 1907 and ending September lit 1910. Yon will see that all these large payments have been made in addi tion to the payments made for all the other regular running expenses of the county, and that nearly $3,500 remains in the treasury of ine general fund, and nearly $1,900 remain, in the treasury to the credit f th road fund. Does this look like extravagance, ovastetutne-a, misappropriation or Plain facts, plain figures have been supplied and published in re gard to the Financial affiairs of the county, and the management of the Finance of the county since the Re publicans turned it over to the Dem ocrats in 1901, with no funds in the Treasury; the county heavily loaded with debt; the county obligations floating about with no money on band to meet them. Since 1901 there have been no entanglement of the affairs of the coanty; things have been kept straight since that date; as is evi denced by the indisputable, easily understood statement which has been spread upon the Minute Book of the Commissioners of the county, at their la6t meeting, pages 100 to lOi inclusive. Those who have been misled and deceived by the wilfully false and malicious statements in respect to tbe large indebtedness of the county; tliose to whom the statement nan been made that the new court house bad involved the county, and thrown it into debt in sums amounting, va riously, from 50,000.00 to $90,000. 00, may be easily put right, and ob tain exact and accurate information on the subject, by inspecting the comprehensive statement of the county's affairs, and its Financial condition, as adopted by the Com missioners at their last meeting. Examine the Minute JJook of the Commissioners last meeting, pages 100 to 104. It would hardly seem to be tbe act of sane men to use "juggled figures" ia a statement of . piain facts and transactions, involving no more than a recital of Receipts and Disburse ments, of Visible and Tangible As sets and Liabilities. Where such are supplied, it would seem that all could see save the blind; that all might understand ex cept those whose opportunities have, unfortunately been unimproved. Of this latter class there are many ex cellent men and estimable women, who deserve and receive the respect, consideration and confidence of their communities, free from observation of their infirmity, save from the self- consequential bigot and cad. But now about one occupying a position which, presumably, qualifies him to both see and know, to-wit the Editor of "The Bulletin", yet who professes in his paper to believe that "j uggled figures" have been used? If it be believed that his mental calibre is equal to the problem, then by his declaration he asserts, either that the County Commissions are corrupt, or men of low order Jof in telligence, which no man in the county believes or that he himself is characterless. A Causa Assigned. Mr. Editor: The Bulletin says that the State would not have gone prohibition in May 1908 had it not been for the work of Republicans like Pritnhard, f rice, liUBk and others. No doubt, but Pritchard, Price, Lusk and others were beaten dragoon and bridle at the recent Ureensboro Republican Convention. Lusk wrote Butler before the convention how the jail doors were standing open in the counties of Western North Carolina since, the advent of Prohibition and also paid his re spects to local self government as intended by Butler to be construed and understood by "wets." - 1 Uandidates are not being nomr nated by the Republicans for the legislature ia counties where wet Democrats have been nominated.

THAT LYING REPORT Specimen of the Literature of Protection. PURE CAMPAIGN HUMBUG Majority Committee of Senate Jugglea Price Statistics to Conceal Extent of Truat Extortion It Confutes Dif ferent Gradea of the Same Article to Buttress Up a Falae Theory. Senator Lodge and his standpat col leagues have issued a report to the American people which professes to be a conscientious verdict on tbe high cost of living. In reality it is the neatest piece of humbug that has been put before tbe people since Dr. Cook's discovery of the north pole. It is well worth reading as a speciuipnof the literature of campaign deception which has become one of the fine arts. Of the audacious statements contain ed in the report the following will serve as a specimeu: On pup? 37 the com mittee gives comparisons of food prices in this country and In Er.jrlnnd which, in its opinion, "show conclusively that in 1900 prices in the United Kingdom were on a much higlwr level than in the United States." it further makes tbe statement that bacon was 73 per cent, beef (SO per cent, mutton 105 per cent, wheat 3!S per cent and corn 01 per cent higher in England than In America in 1!100. Of course the ob ject in representing the English prices to be so high ten vears ago is to pro vide a plausible explanation for the fact that prices here have since then risen twice as fast as they have in England. If the English price level was so high in 1900 as compared with ours, then our subsequently rapid ad vance in prices is only an attempt to recover lost ground, and that is the theory tbe committee advocates. But how does it get the above fig ures? Simply by Juggling them. When it says that bacon was 73 per cent higher in England than it was with us in 1900 it is simply com paring Waterford (Irish) bacon with Chicago "short clear sides." When it says that beef was CO per cent higher it only means that prime English beef waa selling at nearly 13 cents a pound wholesale when New Tork "native sides" were selling at 8 cents a pound. And similarly with the other commodities. Everybody who knows anything about Waterford bacon and the prime roast beef of old England knows that these articles are always much more costly than import ed varieties and that there is no com parison between them. The commit tee makes tbe admission that the prices compared are not for identical articles, but if they are not for identical ar ticles what ground has It for say ing that "in 1900 prices in the United Kingdom were on a much higher level than in the United States?' Tbe simple truth is that English prices were higher - than American prices where the English commodity was of a superior grade to tbe Ameri can commodity. If the method of comparison adopted by the committee is admissible it would be easy to show from tbe figures used by it that English prices were lower In 1900 than American prices. Thus Chicago "short clear sides" are given as selling at 7.62 cents 1. pound, whereas at Liv erpool "American Cumberland cut" was In tbe same year selling at 7.49 cents a pound. Therefore the price of bacon, instead of being 73 per cent higher In England than here In 1900, was actually lower. The prices here compared are not, of coarse, for Iden tical articles, but they are likely to be much more' nearly Identical than tbe articles compared by tbe committee. If prices of food products were higher In England than in tbls country in 1900 the committee has brought no evidence to show it. We do know, nowever, that tbe cost of transporta tion measures the difference In price in tbe case of goods shipped from here to England. As a great deal ot the foodstuffs used by England comes from this country we should expect English prices to be slightly higher In the case of those articles, and tbls la probably the truth. We still want an answer to the ques tion which tbe committee has so craftily shirked. Let the American packers and their friends the stand- patten answer it, or judgment goes by default It is this: Why has American bacon, aa quoted In the report, ad vanced In price 56 per cent In ten years, whereas Irish bacon has ad' vanced only 18 per cent?' Why hat nmttoa advanced In price 50 per cent In New Tork In ten years, whereas Scotch mutton waa selling at 4 per rent leas In 1919 than It -was In 19001 We are taking atfly the figures given in tbe report aaft are Interpreting them In oar own way aa fairly as wo can We amy that romebody must be mak Ing enormous profits at tbe expense ot the consume'.' In this country when we compare or own precipitous advance of prices with the. moderate advance shown by the free trade country. . T. SCANLON. Study the Record.
