Democra'ic Hand-Book Out.
The Courier is in receipt of the
:North Carolina Democratic Hand
book for 1910. which was rearlv fnr
distribution some days ago. The
dook contains something over 200
pages, ueyocea to tne purpose of
aeaung witn tne issues of the cam
pai?n in a clean and clear .cut man
ner. The principles of democracy are
set forth in such a nlain manner
that the voter will readily come to
me conclusion as to wmcn party has
the interests of the people at heart.
At the top of the front cover is the
lonowing: "Privilege mubt be ar
rested at Washington : Butleriam
must be averted at llaleigh." The
nrsc pages are t iken up by Chair
man Eller with a brief introduction.
which is followed by the platform
at Charlotte, and the aneeches at thn
State convention. Many issues
concerning tne railroad campaign
are discussed thoroughly in this
book, showing how the Democratic
party stands on these vital issues.
These books are readv for diatri
feutiou and a copy can be had by

Our Washington Letter.
When a woman purchases $10
wortn oi wool in goods, $4.e7 repre
sents the value of the goods and
$o.i;$ tne amount of the turn.
This is because of the Payne
Aldrich ad valorem tariff of 105
per cent. Or, in other words, on
eacn !l worth of woolen dress goods
imported, the Payne-Aldrich law
levies a tax of $1.05. The consumer
must pay the $1 value and the $1.05
tariff, or $2.05 for one dollar's worth
of goods.
This is but one of a thousand il
lustrations that could be submitted
to show how the tariff affects the
the cost of livLg.
Spending $3,585,685.66 every
easiness aay, tne united States un
, der the reign of the standpat Ke
publicans has become the most ex.
travagant government in the world.
Increased expenditures in the first
year of the Taft administration, over
the corresponding year of Cleve
land s last administration, amount
ed to $575,730,600, or over 120 per
cent. This occurred under the
much heralded Taft policy of "out.
to- tne-quick economy, recently re
pudiated in Maine and Vermont.
National expendituies for the en
suing year amounted to $1,098,847.-
184, which is more than the entire
capital of all the national banks in
the United States, $919,143,825,
and more than one-third of the en
tire output of all of our gold mines
in 1ZU years, $3,063,787,000.
The striking illustrations of the
publications of the Republican
"business" administration are : A
deficit of $11,579,265 since June 30,
1910. A deficit of $180,381,355.69
flinoe June 30, 1907.
Here are some of the ways the
standpatters spend the people's
money in a republic:
Marble baths for senators. Autos
to carry them 100 rods between
their offices and the Capitol. Tour
ing cars for the President, vice
President and "Uncle Joe.'
More than $2,500 for appollinaris
water for the senators. Thousands
of dollars to keep them in vasaline,
castor oil, olive oil, bromo quinine,
hair tonic, costly perfumes, glyce
rine, begamot, nail brushes, travel
ing expenses for attending tuner
als, etc.
If the waste at Washington is
$300,000,000 a year, as stated by
Aldrich, every American family
suffers to the extent of $16.56 every
year. This is enougti to buy a suit
of clothes. It will buy an overcoat
or a cloak. It will buy nearly three
tous of anthracite coal. It will buy
four or five pairs of shoes, or various
fitntr necessaries.
Under our system of excessive
protection.govemment extravagances
and cost of living keep pace. As
the government raises practically all
of its revenue by taxing things eaten,
worn or used, the consumer pays his
pro rata of government extravagance
every time he boys a protected ar
ticle at his local grocery, dry goods
or furniture store.
This rule proves itself. The per
capita appropriation by Congress
jumped from $b to $iz between
1890 and 1910. Increasing in al
most exact proportion, the prices of
100 leading articles, according to
Bradstreets, advanced 56 per cent,
between 1896 and 1910.
An increased annual tax of more
than $100,000,000 has been saddled
upon the American people through
increased freight rate within the
last few years without opposition
by the government, But this is not
enough. The railroads want still
more revenue, and as soon as the
November elections are over it is
believed they will be allowed to
boost their rates a couple of notches
The interstate commerce com
mission is now goiog through the
formal procedure of taking testi
mony as to the reasonableness of the
new . mcri-twei whicn, according to
thf es'imtie -f t'i- lunniuisdion will
'fwlr " iMiiii.i ! iit of the rail
roads $500.000.0ft0. Ther r
high-priced lawyers for the railroads
uue iictuiugu, ana aiso an impos
ing array of legal talent for the big
shippers. The public alone is un
represented. One fact that has cropped out at
the hearings is that the railroads
seem to have unanimously aorppd
that the increased rites shall apply
wnere tney win be tne least annoy
ance to the trusts and big combina
tions of manufacturers The added
burden is to be laid on the little
fellow the merchant, the house
holder, the fathers and mothers of
the families, the countrv storekeeper
and the farmer. Products of the
trusts enjoy a striking immunity
from increases. This is not hard
to understand. It is not easv for
the railroads to put an increased
rate over on tne sugar or the steel
trust. Such increases would be
fought tooth and nail and probably
defeated by counsel for the com
bines who gather likes Hies about the
room in which the commission
meets. But it is easy money to put
an increased rate over the general
consumer, because he isn't present
to enter objection, nor is anyone
mere to enter ooj-.'ction tor mm.
The interstate commerce commis
sion declares it represents no one in
particular, but sits as a judicial
bodv wholly. The result is that in
many, many instances the case goes
against tne consumer oy oeiault.

INDIANA JJPJN ARMS
Senator Beveridge, the Insur
gent, Indorsed
THE ALDRICH LAW IGNORED
"The Coming Battle," Says Beveridge,
"Is Between the Rights of the People
and the Power of the Pillagers" -A
Telling Exposure of Deceptive Sched
ules and Sham Reductions.
Indiana has raised its potent voice
against the Payuc-Aldrlch tariff. Tb.fi
Republicans of that statu havo en
thusiastically Indorsed the .tiou' of
Senator Beveridge, ' who oiii usod the
bill through thick and tbiu. They
have adopted a platform which, while
it advocates a protective tariff "meas
ured by the difference between the
cost of production here and abroad,"
significantly ignores the Tuyne-Aldrlch
law altogether.
Senator Iteveridge in appealing for
support did not soften in any way his
antagonism to the bill, but loudly pro
claimed it. In fact, he made It the
head and front of his offending. The
following extracts from his speech il
lustrate what the Indiana senator
thinks of "the best tariff bill wo ever
had." After President Taft's mag
nanimous defense of the Fayne-Aldrich
law it Is singular that Mr. Beveridge
should have mentioned him so con
spicuously as a co-iusurgont on the
tariff question. Senator Beveridge said:
"Like President Taft, I wanted free
Iron ore, of which we have the great
est deposits on earth and which the
steel trust chiefly controls. I could
not stand for the duty that was pass
ed, and I cannot stand for it now.
"Like President Taft, I wanted on
the free list many raw materials that
needed no protection. Yet only one
was so treated. I could not stand for
the duties on these articles, and I can
not stand for them now.
"Like President Taft, I wanted the
ancient woolen schedule reduced. It
gives to the woolen trust unfair con
trol and raises the prices and reduces
the weight of the people's clothing. I
stood against this schedule when the
bill was passed, and I stand against it
now.
"I could not 8tand for the duty on
lumber when the tariff bill was passed,
and I cannot stand for it now.
"I stood against the increase of the
duty on cotton goods, and I stand
against it now.
"The reduction of the tariff on re
fined sugar is a deception, because it
cannot affect the price. Yet that is
one of the boasted reductions we hear
of.
"These are examples of increases. I
was against them then, and I am
against them now.
"From few, if any, of the decreases
do the people get the slightest benefit
"Extortion is not protection.
"The coming battle is not so much
between political parties as such as
between the rights of the people and
the powers of pillagers.
"I believe that the reasonable pros
perity of the few dozen American citi
zens should depend upon the common
prosperity of all American citizens.
"Swollen and dangerous fortunes are
not necessary to good wages to the
worklngman, fair salaries to the clerk
or commercial traveler or honest prices
to the farmer.
"We want no Lord North or King
George, no Bourbon or Romanoff
methods in American life, whether in
government or laws, whether In enact
ing a tariff or managing a party.
"A political party is not a group of
politicians, each with his following,
combining to win the spoils of place
and power. Such an organization is
not a party. It la a band of brigands,
and Its appeals In the name of the
party are mere attempts .to beguile
and defraud the voter for Its selfish
purposes. Such organizations and
men are the tools and agents of taw
less Interests which know no party,
attempt to ose all parties and practice
only the policies of profit.
"I was for a Just law. That could
have been written, and it shall yet be
written.
"I could not stand for the obsolete
and infamous sugar schedule, which
no man in Indiana can read and un
derstand, but which the sugar trust
can read and understand, yet efforts
to change that schedule were opposed
by Democratic votes. We reduced the
tariff on refined sugar 5 cents a hun
dred pounds one-twentieth of 1 cent,
a half of 1 mill, a pound which was
worse than no reduction because It
cannot possibly affect the price and
therefore is a deception. Yet that Is
one of the boasted reductions we bear
of.
"It is said that the law has made re
ductions on articles entering Into the
consumption ef the people to the value
of $5,000,000,000, yet those articles are
made up of such things as lumber, ag
ricultural Implements, meat and food
products, petroleum and its products,
of all of which we are the greatest ex
porters In the world; steel rails and
coal, which we export; barbed wire,
monopolized by the steel trust: nails,
manufactured and sold by an interna
tional trust as complete as the Inter
national tobacco monopoly; yarns and
threads, the raw materials for textiles,
on which textiles, when finished for
the people's use, the tariff was Increas
ed; sugar, which was not reduced In
fact, but only in pretense."
"I'm licked," said Boss Aldridge
when he heard that he was defeated
by a majority of nearly 6,000. For
once at least the Rochester political
boss spoke the truth. ,
FOR LOWER PRICES
Give Americans the Same Terms
as Foreigners
NO NEED TO SHUT FACTORIES
Leading Jewelry Firm Makes Extraor
dinary Offer to Waltham Watch Peo
ple He Tells Them if They'll Aban
don Trust Methods and Give Him
Their Foreign Rates He'll Buy All
They Can Make For Several Months.
We hear now and again that some
of our factories are shutting down,
that thousands of men are thrown idle
and that overproduction isho cause.
What does this overproduction mean?
Does it mean that there is nut enough
demand in the country to keep the
factories going? No; it only means
that there is not demand enough at
the existing high prices. If the man
ufacturers would reduce their prices,
say, to the level at which they sell lhi
same goods abroad there would le
plenty of demand and the workers
might still be kept busy. Every pinch
ed and poverty stricken family in the
land is a possible purchaser of these
goods, tligh prices are the barrier.
Here is one example which is as
good as a thousand. The Waltham
watch factory has been shut down re
cently. Dullness of trade is given as
the reason, dullness of trade in spite
of the tariff of 40 per cent on watches!
Clearly foreign competition is not to
blame here. If trade is dull it is not
because people don't want to wear
watches. It is because they cannot
afford to buy them at the high prices
charged. Reduce those prices by cue
third and trade will be brisk as usual.
Can the manufacturers afford to do
this? They can. They do it for the
foreigner, and what they can do for
the foreigner they can surely do f r
the American, and, what is more, he
ought to bee that they do it.
Here is a letter written to the mayor
of Waltham, Mass., by one of the best
known retail watch dealers iu the
country, offering to buy for cash all
the watches that the Waltham people
can make for several months to come
if they will give him the same terms
as they give the foreigner:
, March 20, 1010.
The Waltham watch factory Is closed
today. Four thousand men are Idle. The
papers say overproduction is the cause.
If you and the citizens of Waltham will
Induce the officers of the Waltham Watch
company to do away with their trust
methods, including their "conditions ol
sale," and sell their watches in this coun
try to American jewelers at the same
price they are sold fir in foreign coun
tries 1 am ready to buy for cash all or
any part of the watches on band; also
all they can make for many months to
come.
A reply from you statins' the result of
your efforts. will be appreciated. Very
truly yours, .
FOREIGN CHEAP LABOR.
Protection Uses If to Supplant Ameri
can Higher Priced Labor.
The cry of "Protect the American
workman against the foreigner!" has
helped the protectionist party to get
many votes.
A more deceitful or absurd party
cry was never Invented.
Our protected industries employ
mostly foreigners right from the ship
In many cases so that it is the for
eigner who gets the protection such
as it is. t
The workmen who have replaced the
organized labor which was driven
from the Carnegie mills at the time of
the Homestead riots many years ago
are not Americans, but Poles, Slovaks,
Lithuanians, Roumanians, Croatians,
Bohemians and other European races,
who are content with inferior wages
and an inferior standard of comfort.
The workpeople who fill the factories
of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New
Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania
are largely foreign born, and they are
there because they undersell Ameri
can labor.
According to the census of 1900, Mas
sachusetts had 840,000 foreign born
people. Rhode Island 134,000, New Jer
sey 431,000. New York 1.900,000 and
Pennsylvania 085.000. The foreign
born population of these states and
their children comprise a majority of
the whole population, except in the
ease of Pennsylvania. These foreign
ers work for a dollar a day In the
mills and factories, and the native
American element seeks more lucrative
employment
The foreign pauper laborer Is here.
Be comes with protection.
THE FLOWING TIDE.
Republicans Show Their Opinion of the
Tariff by Voting the Democratic
Ticket.
That the trend of popular sentiment
is strongly against the tariff is evident
from the result of the three congres
sional elections which have taken
place since the new law was passed.
The Payne-Aldrich bill became a law
on Aug. 5, 1009.
On Feb. 1. 1910. an election was held
for the Sixth Missouri district. A
Democrat was elected to replace an
other Democrat by an increased plu
rality. On March 22. 1910, an election was
held for the Fourteenth Massachusetts
district A Republican plurality of
14,250 in 1903 was converted into a
Democratic plurality of 5.650.
On April 19, 1910. au election was '
held for the Thlrty-swoiid New Yorfe j
district A ' Republican plurality of ,
10,167 in 1908 was converted Into a
