almost bankrupted the State and still

now fixing berths for four more

they are going to increase the bur

How the South Suffers From Demo
cratic Rule.
Charlotte Observer.)
Tariff revision under Democratic
rule seems to be taking its usual
course, to some extent. Articles of
Southern make are put down, and
those of Northern make are more or
less upheld. We make no complaint
in this matter against our Northern
friends, for the fault rather rests
upon and with our representatives
in Congress. It is proposed to make
a very decided cut of the tariff on
cotton good3, while the late news is
that the tariff on woolen goods re
mains almost the same. Southern
Representatives in Congress have
moved in some degree away from the
old fetish of free trade which belong
ed to the institution of slavery, but
we are not yet wholly free from it.
Without any quart 1 whatever with
the woolen trade, we know. It could
better stand a cut than It Southern
roitoa roods could. Our Representa
tive in Ccagresa hate been so long
advocating fre trade. thAt It is hard
for them to refuse to acjoS-c ta a
cut on Southern product towards a
free-trade basis, bat meanwhile
Northern Congressmen et the high
est tariff possible and hold to it
While the Southern Congressmen are
pursuing a theory, and let the prac
tical results go in deference to the
theory, the Northern Representatives
are pursuing practical results and
getting them.

(Charlotte Observer.)
The Charlotte Daily Observer is
planning to devote a portion of its
Sunday issue each week to items of
news and articles of merit relating to
traveling men, their work and worth
to the city from which they work and
the country at large in which they
"live, move, and have their being."
In this undertaking The Observer
believes that it will have the cordial
endorsement and co-operation of each
and every traveling man in the Caro
lines and particularly of the two
great organizations, the United Com
mercial Travelers and the Travelers'
Protective Association, both of
which maintain large and flourishing
branches in this city. The greater
part of the material will be furnish
ed by special committees from these
two organizations and wilt be devoted
especially to affairs of interest to
those who travel. It is hoped in time
to make this department of the paper
one of the most attractive in its Sun
day issue. Necessarily the begin
ning will have to be on a small
scale, but with the cordial assistance
of the hundreds of traveling men in
this territory, it. will be made one of
real value and merit.
Time to Call a Halt on Democratic
Extravagance.
The Legislature must either find
a way to put the property of the
State on the tax books at its true
value, or issue bonds to pay the an
nual expenses. There is no other
alternative. Of course the only
course dictated by statesmanship is
to assess the property at a higher
valuation. Raleigh News and Ob
server. Of course there is no "alternative"
but to raise taxes or issue bonds al
though the State is pretty well loaded
down with the latter and the last
bonds the State issued were a drag
on the market. Two years ago taxes
were raised by the "equalization"
process and with the natural increase
in property valuations the State came
up this year with a $725,000 deficit.
You never hear a word about econ
omizing and cutting down expenses
and as Governor Kitchin told the
Legislature in his address to "make
the garment fit the cloth." On the
other hand it is more Judges, Solici
tors and Courts, State-wide primaries
and the State to foot the bill, more
appropriations and increasing those
now being made, etc. It looks like It
was about time to call a halt, take
an inventory and a new start along
different lines for it is getting about
time for one of those "Democratic
periodical panics" to roll around and
then, pray, what are you going to
do?" Union Republican.

One IVmorratic Kdifor .dmonibe-
IIU larty Not to Shake the ltwm
Until They Are Ripe.
There was a time when the I Vrno
cratic papers and Democratic poli
ticises claimed that members of their
party never sought office, and in fact
only accepted an office when they
felt it was their patriotic doty. How
ever, their hunger for pie has be
come so apparent of late that even
members of their own household are
advising them to go slow and not at
tempt to shake the plum tree before
they secure ground rights, in writ
ing on ibis subject the Mount Airy
News, a Democratic paper, sajs:
An old politician ears ago said
that the Democratic party could al
ways be counted on to act the d m
fool every time it had a chance.
And the eagerness that Is shown by
Democrats for office reminds us of
the old expression.
Now just suppose the Democratic
party was go.ng out of office the
4th of March and our President had
the right to make appointments dur
ing the remainder of his term. What
a howl we Democrats would raise if
Republicans tried to keep us from
having every office during our term,
even to the very last day.
Rut now that the Republican party
has only a few more weeks to serve
the country and there are hundreds
of offices becoming vacant and natur
ally would be filled by the present
acting President and confirmed at
once by the present Senate we Demo
crats are trying to turn heaven and
earth to stop this regular order and
keep the Republicans from having
what is naturally and by right theirs.
Because we are hungry for office is
no good reason for trying to keep
Republicans from having what be
longs to them in the way of patron
age that is due them so long as their
term of office lasts.
It must be remembered that all
Democrats are not after office. There
are thousands of Democrats who are
willing to give a Republican all that
is coming to him even to giving him
an office.
