IV ar in mind that the gov tutuent pays to railroad companies for orrviocr the mails about tbirty-dvo million dot lara annually, which i li they ask and which, it has been repeatedly proven, is a moat txborbttsiot turn and whirh iquala a rate greatly in exceaa of what express cornpacio have to pay for like service. And in addition to this ample compeasation, It it alao compelled to pay railroad e.ompanits an emrmoun rnit for the poatal cara iu which the maiU are transported. An examination of the reports of the IVn'mastera-tJeueral will ahow that in many canes railroad companies are paid for rent m out year more than twice what it cost to coi struct the ct.r. The nverai; coat of a car ia about four thousand dollar, the bt not costing more tban aix thousand dollars. That raso in which the irovemruent pitjstuour great through lines for the rent of one car one year lees than the average cost of a postal car, ia an exception to the general rul while in many cases as high as fit A.

Then is there any good reason why they should dt mand a "subsidy'' 'also T Therein no one who claims for them tba there is, yet notwithstanding all this, they ccme before every Congress asking a subsidy. Speaking from memory, Ihe rubsidy giten to th thioiirfh lic fn m the North to tht South by iho lat Congress was tw hundred thousand dollars or therea bouts. Why CoLgrcss snould vott this subsidy ia one of the mjsterlep, i nt it has dune so for a nnmber of j ears in spite of the fact that out Port masters General have, year af ter year, rt commended against it. Now, returning to the beginning, we atk of the Star and other rail road organs which hate nothing to say against such pernicious robber) of the Treasury by railroad compa nies, if giving the people's money to ship owners is any worse than giv ing it to railroad companies f Anc In fact, if the steals are to be judgid by their size, wouldn't the railroao steals of this and various other char acters be the worst of the two evils 1 The Caucasian ia opposed to thr sr subsidies, whether granted to ship owseta or railroad companies, ane it trusts to see this thip-subeidy bil deflated as earnestly as it hopes t see railroad steals curbed. b it another l'0 the iJ.mucr.uic politician of then states have l art el frcm the Ppls Party. And alJ hm l8sooi, from the ineome tax of 1892 to the Chicago platform f 1800 and the 1899 declaration for tbe Initiative and KfV rend urn, has tbe Democratic party learned from tbe People's Party. Hence we sy, that if experence ia worth anvtbmg to them, they might aa well aave time atd declare at once lor tbe People's Party platform instead of Ukirg it by ttiece-mpal.

SHOULD tKAKN FROM tXTERlKNCE. If experience is a good schiol foi the Dimocratic party, it should pro fit by its training of the last two 01 three yeais, and oppose no longer not even m the small st essential any of the principles of the People Party. The majority sentiment ot both North Carolina and the natioi is in favor cf these principles, for the simple reason that they an thourougbly democratic. To thi- fact the Democratic politicians hav in the last two or three years had their eyes opened, and have in measure trimmed their sails accord ly. F.r instance, tbe Chicago plat form contained declarations in favo of certain reforms for which the "regularity' Democratic papers and speakers, a few years, yes, even a few months, prior, had nothing bu ridicule and abase, for the reason aa they said, it was "too populistic. But u there any one familiar with the politics of the last few years wh will deny that the Chicago platform . was lorced noon the Democratic party by reason of the growth populist principles with the Demo eratie massebf And this growth of Populist principles among the rank ' and file Democrats has not stopped at the Chicago- platform. Today the clamor for the more democratic ideas embodied in the People's Party platform in greater than it has ever been bt fore. Who can deny this in th face of the ami trust sentiment now sweeping the country, the pops lar demand for municipal ownershi of public utilities, and other Popu list demands. The Democratic plat form ot Ohio, Nebraska and aIaasa- tntiou as it exists to-day the negro is several of our Southern States to de prive him of it. Why thn, this seaming regard for the Federal Con stitution on one question aff-cting not want to emigrate, and under the Federal Constitution, as it exists at Dre8ent. there is no power to maae him go." It mieht be suggested to these pa- dhcrwyt parsons who re electors in I pers that under the Federal C msti- the ecunty in which they are to act, wiio shall be Appointed as herein after provided by the State board of elrtionp. "Sec. 7. That it shall fee the duty of the county beard t f flections in ech county to appoint all n-gis rars atd jidge? of election m their re spective couuties." Commercing upon this fraud-inspiring election law, the Post (Tbe ditor of which, by the way is him self a Southern man) vt-ry IratLfully atd pointedly remark.-: And it is only too evident that tbe Dpera'ion of mch a law will be dt; structive of political liberty iu North C-'.rolina. We recognize iu this a rtal blow to free government anil ovular institutions. It propose the ruthless and perpetusl domina tion of tbe party iu power and th effectual tx'iuction of public senti ment throughout the bc&te. That means, not popular government, but the tyrannical and oppressive o mi cat ion of a class. This very tersely sta'ts a truth which must be patent to tv ry this ti ng man in North t aroliua. acd ti uone more than to th men who lanned this election law i f fraudu- ent pmpose and intent. Tbeir pur pose in framing such a law was ''the estruction of political lib rty in North Carolina", to ''ttrike a blow a free government' ard to iraugurd'e the ''tyrannical and oppressive domi nation of a class." Tbey have simply used the tegrc to justify this blw at tbe fretdm of the ballot of tbe hcusands of white men in North Carolina, Democrats as well as Ipu- ists and R? publican?, who have t een disposed to rebtl at the domination of the State by a class not in sym pathy with the bast interest t f th state.

We have often had occasion to call attention to the onward stride of People's Party principles. These same principles which were so rld- culed a few years ago by the Dem ocratic press of North Carolina, have been so often proven to be necessary to good government, that these same Democratic partisans who onco ridiculed them are now forced to admit their justice. A few weeks ago we copied an edito rial from Democratic paper of North Carolina advocating govern ment ownership" of railroads, and saying; while it was a Populist doc trine, it was a good one neverthe less. That editor would only have to study "Populist doctrines" to find that they were all good. The Tarboro Southerner, another Democratic paper, has recently dis covered some merit in the princi ple of the initiative and referen dum, so long advocated by the Peo ple's Party. Its editorial in de fence of this principle is good, and we reproduce it In hill. But first we suggest, not only to the South erner, but to all the other -Demo cratic papers In North Carolina, that they study the People's Party platform from an unprejudiced standpoint and they will find it all good. ' The man or paper who con demns the Populist platform is in fluenced to do so by one of two rea sons, either he has no idea whatev er of what the platform contains and, parrot-like, denounces it be cause he hears some one else do so, or he Is a man who would be hurt by the enactment of these' just principles into law. The editorial referred to is in the Issue of the Southerner of Sept. 28, and is as follows : Some people are disposed to object to the initiative and referendum aa methods of effcticg legislation, be cause these two are cf Populist ori gin. Such an objection is puerile. It does not matter who or what par y suggested the idea so it is a good one.- All wisdom ie bottled in no one party or individual. -Before condemning it, it ia well to understand that by initiative ia I meant that when a certain nnmber evilly Re,i&t(r. he solons of the last legislature ndertook to amend the divorce a t a . a I iawsoiiorin Carolina, ana irom r.ntr i.h iK Tti and r.i the reading the attempted amend- W&! f0ii0WfHii .he sonreof 1877 bv It U I 1 u ii Bwuis vu luej au th annexaion of the Transvaal to d then mucn WlSdOm ana Will receiVP DUt th British mnir.
