i,;{ritt conte!ids that Mr. Ci’aw-
ford s exiH)sition of the conduct
of certain i-e})ublic:in leadi'rs in
Xorth Carolina is not an issue and
calls it “.silly twaddle and chip
ti'ap." Ml*, (,’rawford replies
that they are ofticej-s of the ^ov-
*>rnment and tlieir conduct is
therefore a le;^itimate subject for
discussion: that tlie I’ecords of
Federal oftice-holders contribute
in making' the records of the I'e-
publican party, which must be
jiid,Lre:i by the men who make its
history. He quotes from the re
cent speech of Secretary of war
Taft, at rhe (Ireensboro convt'n-
tion. Hlackburn's news[)apers.
Judge Bynum, and others, in <^s
tablising his contention that the
I’einiblican party in this state is
coiuUnnned by the evidence of its
own members, and in his own
original way presents the case
most strongly. Mr. Britt and
his suppoi'ters Sfjuirm, while
democrats aj)}>laud,us ?iJr. Cravr-
ford lays bare the unseemly con
duct of many republican leaders
in Xorth Carolina, u'hose ins;i-
tiable desire for pie lias eclipsed
every other considei-ati(jn. He
calls attention to the fact that the
republicans have only one repre-
-sentative from this stale, and by
the assistance of Mr. Britt, they
tried to })ut that one in the pen
itentiary. So you see, says Mr.
(,’ra.wford. that it is a danir(*rous
thing for a re])ui)lic.an tol)t' eh'ct-
ed to congress from this state,
and th(' poople will ]>ut an end to
the ti’onble on the ()th of X"ovom-
ber. by »decting ten democrats to
represent them.
Mr, Crawford dwells upon tho
theory of democrats founding :ind
organizing- tho g-ovoi-nment and
slates that Tlionias Jt'fcerson, the*
father of d(}mocracy. was the au
thor of the Declaration of Indo
pendcuc(‘. and one of the fi-amcM s
of tho constitution, and that the

The great issue in this cam-
p:ii,gn, AJ r. Cr;iwl'ord maintains,
is tho (a i-jff or Ft'd(*i-al taxation.
The first levy under the constitu-
tion v.as If) percent. In ISl!.'').
it was rtiised to Hl’ per cent, thro'
the inlluence of manufacturers
who advocated protection for
American industries. It was
called the tarilT of abomination.
Mr. Clay, in advocating a com
promise by which it was reduced
to L’() per cent. st;ited in a speech
on the floor of cong-ress tliatif the*
American ])eo])le W'ould acquiesce
in the proposition for nine years.
th(,' manufacturers would be able
to compete v.-ith all the world.
Seventy-live years have lapsed
and still these itifant industries
are clamoring for more protec
tion. Aft(?r they have acc^uired
hundreds of millions from the
sweat and toil of the people by
reason of these excessive tax
laws, whicli give to them the
markets cd the L nited States, the
Dingley law. which Mr. Britt says
has brought all the prosperity to
the country, as an intensified tar
iff. as compared with the old Clay
com])romise levies the largest
tax on the American peo})le that
they have experienced in the his
tory of the country, being an av-
era«-e of HO per C(.'nt.
In illpstrating the workings of
the Dingley law, Mr. Cra\^ford
