THE INTERNAL KEYENUE.
. In last week's Sioni;oaki we
gave in substance, the grounds
taken by the State Chronicle
fjtvnrintr n rpnen.1 nf th Tntpf- i
nal Revenue laws. The Chron-
Icle goes bo far as to oppose the ;
re-election of Mr: Carlisle as
Speaker of the House of Rep-;
resentatives, because of Ins op
position to the repeal of the
Ke venue ?ews.
' .TKe SiG.VROAiii strongly fav
ors the repeal of tholaw as it
now exists, but not uncon
ditionally. In order to pay the
great pension bounties to union
Boldiers, and other heavy ex
penditures of the government,
money must be raised in some
way. to meet it, and to do this
the revenue must be raised
either on the luxuries or neces
saries of life. We do not profess-to
fully understand the
law of taxation as imposed on
import duties or the Tariff laws1,
and there are thousands like us
in this respect, but we th ink
we understand something of the
systeir. There are many ar
ticles on whioh the import du
ties are so high that they are
altogether excluded from the
markets of the Urlted States,
and the government therefore
trets no income from such ar-
tides. Now it seems to us that
if the tariff taxes we e greatly
reduced, it would throw foreign
kn arl'ets open to our uerchants,
and wonderfully increase n
ports from fo eign factories ;
whch wou'-d r "ult in cheapen
ing the nece -sr ies of
life,
without curt? Ming the income
to the t: eaLi"" "oin that
source, but would rather in-
crease t) ui diminish the tax
j rece'pts at our porl - ; while to
! the consu ner the articles would
come at a much lower rate, and
t e tax would go into the pub
lic treasury instead of going in
to the pockets-of the American
manufacturers, to heap up their
wealth to the dairage of the
consumer i'i this country. Com
mon sense and common reason
teaches us to hold these views,
Then if we are correct m the
above there would be no neces
sity at all, for any d rect tax
ation whatever to meet the de
mands of our government,, and
a proper reduction of the tariff
would necessitate and force a
repeal of the Internal Revenue.
With this view, we earnestly
and conscientiously favor the
immediate repeal of the Inter
nal Revenue laws in toto.
If,-however, the one is to be
repealed or reduced, and the
other to remain without ma
terial change then the Si;-
hoard favors reduction in the
tariff and an increase of the
free list, to lessen the necessi
ties of life, rather than have
'free drinks and free chaws and
smokes,' as brother Kingsbury
would say- i be liquor traffic
cannot be prohibited or proper
ly regulated by the national
government, but it can be by
the police regulations in a State.
Owing to its being such a fear
ful source of 'pauperism, crime
and disease it is an object for
the most rigorous police super
vision, and the Su;s jard fav
ors the giving to State authori
ties the .supervision and regu
lation of the great. monster, the
cost of all ihe crime, insanity,
pauperism and disease it pro
duces falliug upon the State
and not upon the nation. There
fore the State ought to have
the authority to regula.e it. and J
to receive all the taxes of every
description deiived therefrom.
Let the State et the revenue,
not the government

Value or Local Papers.
Tl
nal, in commenting on the greai ,
benefit a newspaper is to the
community where it is located, ;
has this to" say : 'It ?s (POicult !
to estimate the value of a good
local paper to a town. Ev- y j
week there comes to our desh a j
score or two of the best of these 1
local papers from Virginia and ;
North Carolina, and it is grati- j
fying to note the interest these
papers take in their towns and
sections. They all do fifty
times more advertising fori
their towns than they get paid !
for. They speak up for their j
resDective markets and draw i
trade thereto that would never i
come but for the influence of the

spapers.' Our people should ;
1-ocin.ttt tho pffnrtQ nf tbo
appreciate the efforts of the
Sk;ni)ard in the interest of
Dunn and Harnett county, and
we believe some at-least prop-
f erly appreciate its establish-
nient and work.
The Minneapolis Tribune, a
Republican paper, in comment-
ing on the President's visit to
that city and through the
j South, openly in its columns
insults Mrs. Cleveland, in an un
gentlemanly and malicious
ir uier. The editor of that
papjr is either an idiot or a
malicious, envious ruffian, un
worthy the notice of a gentle
man. That editor has been
burned in effigy by an indignat
assembly
f
Judge II. T. Kliet; the orator
who was chosen and who deliv
ered the address of welcome to
the President in Mpii-mhi.? lcf
j Saturday, dropped lead before
he left the stand after the
president's response to the ad
dress of welcome.
The establishment of manu
factures will be few and far
between so long as men can
loan their money at an exhorbi-
taut rale ot interest. .Men can 1
loan their money at a large in- !
erest so long as the farmers j

crop. Whenever the farmers j
become more indeDendent. 1

The people of North Carolina
read too little. They forget
many of them that it is as
necessary to feed the intellect
as it is the body to make a de
veloped well rounded man. No
family can afford to be without
a healthy, live newspaper for
the improvement and entertain
ment of their children. The
man who saves (?) the price of
subscription to a newspaper to
add to the money he will leave
his child. at his death, robs that
child of the material by means
of which his intellectual statue
may be fed. The father who
shows ls luve for his children
in such a niggardly way may
be honest he ofte ;- -but lie
has certainly o . . . .t;--l the
development gl ;he lest part
of the child.
Mr. Richmond Pearson is
now in Europe, where he will

is believed he will be the Re-
