The man who never undertakes any enterprise unless he sees an oppor tunity ot realizing two dollars for every his breast or head or stomach that he mistakes for public spirit, but it is nol . The man who is willing to do some thing towards upbuilding his town or county, towards beautifying the public streets, buildings or grounds, and hopes to be compensated for so doing by the pride he takes in the improved condition of things, has what is known as public spirit. The latter class of men help to upbuild any city, county or State that is fortunate enough to be their home. ! j Of course no man ought to be expected to exhibit .public spirit out of all pro portion to his means, for a man's first dutv, we will concede, is to his own fam- jSome men are without means, and still display a great deal of public spirit, by . giving the aid of their counsel and en couragement. ; j The city that is unwilling to aid in the construction or bettering of the hih ways that lead to andj from its markets, whether they be dirt, water or iron ivas, because it is not demonstrable that the outlay will bring in a large direct income in proportion to the out Jay, has-no public spirit and is doomed to the lot of all towns that have no pub lic spirit, that is, slow progress and early decay. A generous, unselfish, heroic dis position is necessary to all high endeavor, and-eaacn'evenient This s a truth tnath&s limitation, cither in civil or Ttiib'f i:r. . in the material or SDiritual cpneerns of ri1- . f , , .

When public improvements of any sort to be are suggested, when a railroad! is builtl when an exhibition of resources is to be m , there should be a reasoning to gether ds to the ad visibility of the move ment prbposcd and, an agreement haying been reached, there should be a cetermma; t:on on the part of all to put nsiae per sonal preferences and to adopt heartily the course decided upon by thei majority as the best to be pursued. It 1s iik this way that great cities are i 1 . built up possible anything It is : inl and in this wa' onby for jarringfactions to accomplish in this direction. Th0 strength whicji the community possesses as a whole is dissipated in the failure to agree. The sticks of the ancient philosopher's bundle were casihy broken one by one when seperatcd from each oilier, j So long as the- were kept together they formed a combination unbreakable, j There is a lesson in the Table Tor every community desirous of making material progress. Let us take it to heart and act upon it whenever an occasion calls for general effort in any direction, t : ! i TIIC PLATFORM. AfTtecl Ik tlie Democratic State Coiivesitioii. " We asrain contrratulate ! the people of North Carolina on the continued enjoyment of peace, good government arid general pros- pcritv under Democratic administiation of th affairs of the State whichj has now been unbroken for so many years ;l upon the ' just and impartial enforcement of the . law; upon the increasing efficiency ojf our common school SYStcm, and the progress made in popular education; upon the improvement and enterprise manifested ini all parts of the State. We again challenge aicomparisoii be tween this state of things and the outrages, crimes and scandals which attended Republi can ascendanev in our borders. AVe pledge ourselves to exert in the future as in th past our best efforts to promote the best interests of the people of all sections of the State. Af firming our adherence to Democratic princi ples tis heretofore enunciated jin the platforms of thje party, it is hereby. - kkfolyed, i nat no government nas tiie right to burden its people with taxes beyond the amount required to pay its necessary ex penses and graduallv extinguish its public debt; and that whenever the j revenues, how everjderived. exceed this amount, they should be reduced, so as to avoid aj surplus in the treasury. That any sj-stem of taxation which necessitates the payriient of a pre mium of $270 b3' the government on each $1,000 of its bonds, taken ur with the mil lionS that would otherwise! lie idle in its vaults, and paid to bondholders who pur chased, in many instances, at less than !par, is undemocratic, oppressive! and iniquitous and should be reformed. 'The course of our Democratic Representativee in Congress, in thei cfTorts to give relief to the people from burqensome internal revenue jand tariff taxa tion! meets with the approval of the Demo cratic prat y of this State and we respect fully! recommend that if they find it impossi ble "to give to our people all the relief de manded, they support any just and practical measure presented in Congress that will af ford; a partial relief from; such . existing burden. j Resolved, That whila the details of the methods by which the constitutional revenue tariff shall be gradually reached are subjects which the representatives of our peoile at the national capital must be trus ted o adjust, we think the customs duties should be levied for the production of -public revenue, and the discriminations in their ad justment should be such as will place the highest rates on luxuries and the lowest on the hecessaries of life, distribute as equally as possible the unavoidable burdens of taxa tion, and confer the greatest . good on the greatest number. Resolved, That we, as heretofore, tavor and will never cease to demand, the uncon ditional abolition of the! whole internal re ven le system, as a war. tax) not to be justi fied in times of peace; as i a grievous burden to c ur people and a source: of annoj-ance in its practical operations. We call the atten tion of the people of the State to the 113-po-critical pretensions of the Republican partj' in their platforms, that they are in favor of the repeal of this onerous sj-stem of taxation, cnaj-tcd bv their party, while the Republicans in Qongress are taxing theiif energies to ob2 struVt all legislation inaugurated by the re pres entatives of the Democratic party to rcli ve the peopl of all or a part of this odi ous yjfctcm, j j i li solved, That the course of the Derao ctatic party, in furtherance pf popular educa tioii, is a sufficient guaranty that we favor the e ducation of the people, and we will pro moi n and - improve the present educational advantages so far as it can be done without burtlening the people by Excessive taxation.

Resolved, That the United States beine one government and ours a national partv, we denounce the efforts of the Republicans to ure actional issues in Congress and else ncre,ind to promote dissension and ill wil between the people of: the different sec tioas of our common country. resolyed. That it is due to the people of our! eastern counties, who have so cheerfully borne their share of our common burdens, tha.1 the present or some equallv effective system of county government shall be main tained, i j resolved. That the Democratic party is opposed to any further extension of the "No fence law. unless such extension shall have first been authorized by a majority of the qualified voters within the territory to be af fected thereby. Resolved, That the Democratic party has evej- been the party of the workingman, and liasj never fostered monopolies, nor have "triists" or"combinationsj" or "pools" ever grojwnup .under laws enacted by it. The vonltest in this country be ng between aggre gated capital, seeking to crush out all com petition, and the individul laborer, the Dem ocratic party is, as it has ever been, against be free from ob- the monopolist arid in favor of a just distri bution of capital, jand demands the enact ment of laws thatl ivillj bear ecmallv upon all. i?renTvcn TYmir ha " nil taxation bears most heavily upon the laborer, it is the duty of me legislator, as a. qirect oenent to tne woi ingman, to keep tlie expenses 01 our puuv insitutions at the lowest limit: consistent with wise and efficient management. .The Democratic partyj Opposes any competition between free and convict labor, but it insists that convicts shall not remain idle at the expense of honest labor. j I - Resolved. That burs being an agricultur al State it is our cjtj' !as we" s Vr P,cas" d all leeislation that is best calculated jto advance the interests of agriculture; and that jin so doing we win most pffprtnallv advance the interests of mechanics, manufacturers and laborers. . Resolved, That the Democracy of North Carolina, cordiallv approve the Ifdministra tion of Hon. Alfred M. Scales' as honest, patriotic and conservative. Resolved, Thdt! the ability, wisdom, hon est v. patriotism, independence, faithfulness to "dut3' and manlyj courage of President Cleveland have won thea dmiration of all good men ; and the interests of the country demand his re-nofmnation and his re-election i STpAY BITS.
