A REPUBLICAN OUTRAGE UPON
TOBACCO DEALERS.
A NEW FENCE WHICH SETTLES
ALL aUESTIONS.
If there can be any one mat
ter of farm economy which per-
a
Dlexes ana annoys tne owner
more than another it is the mat
ter of fences, fences that will
Drotect. turn animals and not
requiring to be re-built every
dav in the week. Lawn and
yard fences are equally as diffi
cult to select, with anything
like economy, which,-while du
rable, is also sightly and attract
ive. In conversation with Col.
J. G Martin some days ago he
mentioned having seen and ex
amined a hedge fence while in
Philadelphia recently, which
for economy of structure, dura
bility, beauty and effectiveness
surpassed anything he ever saw.
It is a living, growing fence,
getting stronger each year, and
always a thing of beauty. It is
a Plashed Hedge Fence, pat
ented and put up by the Dayton
(Ohio) Hedge Fence Co In
vestigation showed Col. Martin
not only that the Hedge Fence
was an absolute success as a
fence, but that, its popularity
and use had grown phenominal
ly . The fence consists of the
Osage orange planted and
trained in a certain way (which
has , proven it to be the right
way after years of careful ex
perience) sustained and held m
proper place by wires. The old
plan of hedge proved a failure
because it would soon grow to
be all top and no base, thus
leaving openings through which
small animals could easily go;
the wire fence, as all know who
have tried or seen it, is a dismal
failure at top and bottom. By
a judicious combination of the
hedge and the wire, the Dayton
company have evolved as near
a perfect fence, in all particu
lars, as it is thought can be
made, having an eye at all times
to cheapness of construction,
and thus making it available
for farm as well as lawn use.
Col. Martin also learned that
this hedge fence is now in use
in a number of states, from
Ohio to Louisiana, anil that over
30,000 miles are now in use; and
without a single exceDtion.
It is
proving satisfactory.
cheap, stock, drouth and fire
proof; growing to greater per
f ection with each year. After
the fence is established, which
is done entirely by the company,
A A ' A 1 it A 1 1 .
ii is estimated mat a aoiiar per
mile of fence will keep it in per
fect condition by pruning.
So well pleased was Col. M
that he took steps to secure this
fence for this section, and to that
end Mr. Sam Johnson, of Ten
nessee, who has been identified
with the company for years, is
in this city. It would be aston
ishing to any of the readers of
the Democrat to see the testi
monials from every section of
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Pennsyl
vania, Kentucky, Tennessee,
Mississippi, Arkansas,Louisiana
and other states, from farmers,
business men, all classes who
1 A 1 T
nave tried and are now using
this fence. For cheapness, du
rability and sightliness, it is.
without exception, pronounced
superior to anything ever seen
or tried. Fullest references are
given, and fullest investigation
invited. 1 j
Every yard, lawn, farm or
pasture, or such parts of farms
as are desired to be enclosed,
would not only be beautified,
a
Readers of Jcircular "No. 367,
recently issued from the office
of internal revenue W ashing
ton, will doubtless be astonished
at its provisions.. Yet, this is a
Republican interpretation of an
act of the last Billion-Dollar
Business Republican Congress
The folio wingj is the official
interpretation of ihe law:
I (1). Retail dealers must regis
ter as such; they must buy books
knd daily enter therein all their
purshases and sales, and those
books are subject to the inspec
tion of internal revenue officers.
I (2). No reports are required
from retail dealers.
j (3). Retail dealers may pur
chase leaf tobacco in hogshead,
case or bale, but' may sell there
from at retail only. To dealers,
manufacturers and exporters
they cannot selli
(4). Retail dealers mavputup
in such packages as they choose,
for sale to consumers, only nat
ural leaf, dried and cured, and
such packages are liable to the
nspection or internal revenue
officers, so that it shall be seen
hat they contain no manufact
ured tobacco. i.. - ,
Herd is a product of the farm,
most important one to our
people; not only an important,
but a legitimate! one, which is
thus degraded,: practically by
tne ALcKinley-Keea. congress.
The apologists for this con
gress will tell the people they
removed all restrictions . from
the farmer in selling his tobacco.
but they were Very careful, as
the above shows, to put the re
striction upon the men who buy
the product from the farmer.
We would like to ask our farm
er friends, if these Republicans
relieve them of burdens hereto
fore put upon them, and at the
same time inflict greater bur
dens upon those j to whom they
expect to or must sell their
crops, thus cripling! those who
purchase from them, if they are
not more hurt by the late than
the first act? But this is only
one of the many outrages per
petrated by the late McKinley-
Reed-Billion-Dollar Congress
upon the people. If it apparent
ly gave a relief in. one respect,
it added a ten-fold burden in
several others. '
The farmers were offered a
"protective tariff " on wheat,
when they have millions of
bushels to sell to none to buy.
They were offered a protective
tariff on a number of farm pro
ducts, of which they have a sur
plus to sell, but hone to buy.
We are only surprised the
last Republican congress did
not finish its; work by putting
an import duty on cotton. To
have done so would have , been
- ' ; -- ' i "
no less satirically oppressive
than the work it did do.
.Tliei farmers have a bis: sur
plus of their products to sell,
and must depend on foreigners
for purchasers.
But those same farmers have
to purchase large quantities of
implements, clothing, &c, &c,
and the manufacturers of these
who constitute largely the
contributor ;to jjhe Republican
campaign fund are carefully
protected by the McKinly bill,
a Republican measure. Post
Master General Wanamaker,
himself a big dealer in manu
factured goods, could tell all
about how this subscription
fund is raised if he would do
so, but he wont.
But our tobacco farmers can
see from the above how the Re
publicans impose unnecessary
burdens upon those who wish
to buy their products. To im
pose a burden is, to restrict the
purchaser; and to do the latter
is to reduce the price of the pro
duct.
This is the Republican scheme
altogether. To restrict the pur
chaser is to reduce the price
paid to the producer by .those
who are dealers; to do this is to
create a class or aristocricy of
purchasers; and this is simply
legislation in favor of the few
against the many, and yet,
while the Democratic party is
fighting this concern on all such
matters we hear of so-called
leaders of the farmers who talk
of "third parties," and other
such nonsense with a View of
dividing the people, the only re
suit of which must "be that the
same old crowd who have been
degrading and robbing them
will remain in power to continue
their work in favor of the en
richment of the few. May the
Lord help all such ! ,

The Raleigh News-Observer
continues its excellent mission
ary work on financial questions.
Its articles upon the advantage
of State banks of issue as aux
iliary to the national legal ten
der currency merit very serious
consideration. Such issues, it
is ably urged by the News-Observer,
would not only give
greater abundance of currency,
a thing sadly needed, but a
more flexible currency. The
Republican leaders are violently
opposed to any system which
will either increase the curren
cy, or increase its flexibility:
and only bv the united efforts
of the people in the support of i
the Democratic party can this
Republican party be over
thrown. To run off :fter strange
issues and new gods will only
divide the people and insure
further' lease of power to Repub
licans, and a continuance of the
evils we liow bear.

ROLLINGS,
Our Assessment Laws.
Capt. T. W. Patton calls attention in
a letter to the Raleigh Chronicle to seri
ous defects in the method of assessing
property for taxation, and invites a dis
cussion of the matter with a view of se
curing remedies. His experience for a
number of years in such matters enables
Capt. P. to sive some very useful infor
mation. That a different method is re
quired is obvious, and such discussion
ought to be, as it doubtless will be, glad
ly received. There ought to be a State
commission, to hold office for a num
ber of years, whose duty it will be to
carefully study the question and before
each legislature meets submit a report
embodying a measure for properly as
sessing all property. Power should also
be given the commission to investigate
each county and section, and equalize
the assessment as nearly as possible. The
present system is certainly very unequal
and unjust.
The Southern Assembly of. the Wo
man's Christian Temperance Union has
accepted the gift of the citizens of
Waynesville, N. C , of 3,000 and five
acres ot land, and hereafter tha' site will
be its annual meeting place. Airange
ments have already been perfected for
the erection of the pavilion.
This wai a graceful act on the part of
