I'lTT'S IIKMOtllAI IC CONVENTION. quite ready yet to endorse Cleveland, but that if the machine will not crowd them that the people can be brought around to the goldbug after a while. We suppose this means that the Democratic State con ven tion will puss a kiml of straddling resolution ot endorsement, ana tnen trv to hoodwink their honest fol lowers into setting him straight or some other goldbug by 1S96 There are thousands of democrats in this State who are too intelligent and independent to be taken in by- such a contidence game. Cleveland now proposes to appoint a "Strike commission." This action is taken, they say, in the iuterest of labor. But like Sherman's anti trust laws, it will turn out to be in favor of the trusts and monopolies aud against the rights of honest la bor. We can predict this with safe ty because we know that the trusts and monopolies are behind Cleve land as they are behind Sherman The D-mocrats now no doubt re tret that the Republicans did uot pass their Force bill. If they had, (J rover Cleveland and his congress woulil certainly have executed it in stead of repealing it. In fact a con gress that would endorse Cleveland's action in executing dangerous pow ers hi sending Federal bayonets to Chicago, would pass the same Force bill if it were before them. Suppose the Republican party had elected Harrison iu 1892 and gotten complete control of every branch of! the government and had done exact ly what has been done, is there a single democratic paper in the State that would have endorsed it. Would cot every democratic paper iu the State today been denouncing it? Those who think should think of this. Tln SmullfKt Allfinliiin' i" T-n Years..

Yours very truly, Thk Caucasian. .lUIKiE UUSSF.I.I.'S REPLY. Wilmington, N. ('., July 34, '94. Editor The Caucasian, (Jolds boro, X. C. : Yours of July 30th leceived and duly considered. At the risk of being boycotted and out lawed by corporate capital and its myrmidons I will give to the people ihrough your paper as you request a brief statement of the enormous fraud which the last Legislature in flicted upon the taxpayers of this State by the so-called "compromise'' f the taxes due by the Wilmington it Weldon Railroad Company to the State and to the counties and towns ilong the line of its Main and of its Branch Roads. This Railroad Company is almost ntiivly owned by a lot of non-resi-ent Northern capitalists who are the originals or the successors ot a crowd wnose capacious uugeis stretched out to GRAH it during that carnival of corruption which follow- 1 I I.. . I. I ,f h. .....1 i .i eti cioseiv me enu 01 me ii uu m which both political parties were more or less implicated. The Rail road then belonged to the State of North Carolina, to the city of Wil mington and to various individual citizens of the State. These enterprising aliens, looking Southward across the Patomac for any thing laying around which Sher man might have left, discovered this valuable property ; obtained for a miall sum the control of it, and then by the perfectly legitimate and highly honorable methods so well known to railroad wreckers and law yers proceeded to "RUN down" the property until they got the minority shares from citizens of the State for little or nothing. The railroad company was charter ed in 1834. For nearly sixty years it paid no taxes under the claim that by its charter it was exempt from taxation. During all this time it was legally liable for taxation upon all property owned by it such as stocks or bonds of other companies, cash on hand, investments of all kinds indeed it was liable for taxes on all its property except the maid line from Wilmington to Halifax and such rolling stock, material and euuipments aud station houses as we.-e necessary for the proper opera tion of the road. And as to this claim there was serious doubt wheth er it was entitled to any exemption in excess of sSOO.OoO, a sum largely less thau its value at anv time. In 1893 when it ordered its strikers, who were holding seats in a Legisla ture to which they were not elected, ar.d Is'.'-'!. and re-tore the mot.ev of tile coiistitatiot:.

No nation which has en joyed liberty and lost it ever regain ed it. Ruin and decay must tirat follow the loss of liberty, and if liberty comes again, it must be a new growth. "The immediate danger w hich con fronts us is a condition in the coun try which will authorize or excuse a resort to arms bv the general govern ment, which means the destruction of local self government. The peo pie of the Tinted States now have it in their power to choose between liberty aud despotism. The choice must be made, and made at once. Any attempt to right the wrongs which the people sutler other thaa at the ballot box must result in one man power and the annihilation ot self government. The contest be tween the money powers and the people is a contest betw een ay stems of government. If the money low ers succeed despotism is inevitable. Wm. M. Stewart. l '.ii 1- 1.

With a clear appreciation of th right at all times, a young and ardent reformer, he combines within him self all the essential qualities that go to make the good and tllicient pub lic oHieer, the man and patriot. He is a man of broad and liberal education, having I'hapel II ill for his alma mater, aud since his grad uation at the law school of that fa mous University has industriously devoted himself to mind improve ment, and the attainment of emi nence in his chosen profusion. Not only is Mr Fanner a lawyer of more than local reputation, but he is a speaker of unusual eloquence, force and power, aud iu the canvass I do not believe the democratic party could find his equal in the borders cf the District. Of temperate habits, good moral character, and excellent education, a brilliant lawyer, the People s party "... . . i convention will do honor to itseii mid the District bv nominating Mr. Fanner for Solicitor.

Estimating the present st "ck in the bonded warehouses at 00,000,000 gallons, the increase o: the tax from 90 cents to 1.10 a gal Ion will put exactly 40,000,000 into the pockets of the whisky trust, lint the S40,000,000 is not the only gra tuitv sriven by the Senate to the whisky trust. The bonded period three vears under the existing law, l made eight years by the Senate ; that is, the trust gets five years more from the government before being obliged to pay the tax. Ait tnis time in whisky is improving and the whisky trust is saving interest. At $i.iu srallon, the interest at i per cent. would be 4 4 cents a gallon, in 100.OOQ.000 srallons the interest would be $4,400,000.- The sum th Senate virtually gives to the whisky trust every year for five years. In other words, besides making a direct donation of 40,000,000 to the whis ky trust, it saves that thrifty con cern in live years' interest to the amount of 22,000,000. Solicitor O. II.

Weeklies, however, are the medi um in this State, anil four general weeklies are worthy of pi One consid eration: The Hal. i-h Hiblical Re corder, the ( reeusboro North Caro iina Christian Advocate, the (iolds boro Ca i casian ami the Raleigh Progressive Farmer. The tirst two are t rgans iespeetively of the P.ap t ist and Methodist denominations, each of which numbers more than 15(1,0110 f-oiuiiiuiiiciitits. These two papers have the largest circulation of any two high-priced weeklies in the State, and as families and churches td'ten club for either of them, the number published doe. uot show their circulation. They enter families engaged in all occu pations in city, town, and particu larly in couutry. Thk Oaccasian tud Progressive Farmer, both ot which have larger circulations than . ... any other weeklies, come next, me former haviner the largest circula tion. There are nearly as many local weeklies as there are counties, a-id to this may be attributed the limited circulation of them all. The we. k hes issud from daily ofliees are scarcely worth considering for the . .ii i same reason. Among ruese iocai papers the State.sville Landmark leads in the west, and when coupled with the Morgantou Herald W inston Republican, Shelby Aurora, and the Mt.

In the east the Norfolk (Va.i Virginian-Carolinian, the Wilmington Weekly Messenger, the Kinston Free Press aud the Newberne Journ al (daily) should be ased. Lach ot these papers reaches several goodly small towns and circulates well in the country. To cover the State use the Char lotte Observer, th Wilmington Mes enirer the Raleigh News Obser- Chronicle, the Rileigh Biblical Re order, the (i reeusboro s. C.

That a political party must have money forth.- purpose of conduct ing a legitimate campaign, ami to be legitimately expended, no one will deny; but that a great corpora tion thai overshadows ami threatens the Nation should t out i ibub liUr allv to promote the success of out political party in one State ami the siiec'.rs of another political party in alio! her .slate at the same general election, I think cannot be justified t any standard ol anv molality or process of honest reasoning. Such contributions tun, onlv be prompted by the expectation of the contribu tor that which ever party shall wuc ccd to the control of the govern ment it will look to some degree of leniency upon his interests. A wise ly drawn and judicious law looking to a prompt ami ellicient reni 'dy for this grow ing evil sh tuld tw; passed by Congress and approved by th President. The testimony chows that two Senators, the Hon. John U. Mc- Ph.isoii, of New Jersey, and the Hon. Matthew S. ) lay," of I'ensyl ania, did engage in speculating in what are known an sugar stocks or i:c. tilicatcs during the pendency of the present Tariff hill 'M-fiire the Sen ate. As their testimony accom panics this reput and is sclf-nphiatory, I w ill do in re than lo say that 1 think it fully discloses the neces sity for a law prohibiting this prac tice. Speaking entirely apart from the f:wls disclosed in this case, it is im possible for me to conceive of a er- soii who is engaged in discharging the duties of ollice of 1'nitcd States senator, ami w ho may at any time be repined to consider or vote on a measure affecting the public welfare, o divorce his private interests from those of public, and if tif is com pelled to neglect the one or the oth er, think we have a nht to con clude that lie will invariably neg lect the public interest to jtreserve his own. I am thoroughly convinced that no Senator or Representative should ever jK-rmit himself to t- approach ed upon any subject connected with legislation by ih-s representing private or p. -ci.il interests, except on uch occasions when such jkt S..M1S may be heard by the c Miirnitlee on which he is a member, evactiy as they would be heard iu a court of justice in a ase there pending and lo be determined. I know of no more reason why a Senator or Ii p- les ntative should be approached, talked with and opportune.! by a person representing a sjM.-cial inter est to be aifeeted by legislation thau that a judge b fore whom a case is (lending and is to be tried should br approached by one of the litigants and the case privately argued and pr.-L'!it.el t ) him oat of court. 'l'he place to present all arguments is in the .omiiiittee room before the com- no . nuttee or a sub committee, i uis being done and the committee fully informed, the rule prevailing in courts should be observed. Without extending this report I have to state in conclusion that I think this investigation h3 demon strated the nc.Saity of two laws: First A law prohibiting specu lation by Senators and representa tives ia' congress in any class of speculative stocks whose value may be immediately affected by National legislation.
