gold has ceased to go to Europe as

Wasmsctun, D. C, August 27.
President Cleveland has written the
following letter to Representative
Catchings, of Mississippi, in which he
sets forth his views of the new tariff
law, and gives his reasons for not ap
proving the bill.
Executive Max ion j
Wasuington, D. C,
August 27, 1894 )
Hon. L. C. CATcniNUs:
Mi Dear Sir: Since the conversa
tion I had with yon and Mr. Clark,
of Alabama, a few days ago in regard
to mv action on the tariff bill now be
fore me, I have given the subject
further and most serious considera
tion. The result is I am more set
tled than ever in the determination to
allow th bill to become a law with
out my bignaturc.
When the formation or legislation
which it was hoped would embody
Democratic ideas of Tariff reform was
lately entered upon by Congress,
nothing was further from my antici
pation than a result which I could
not promptly and enthuastically en
dorse It is therefore, with a feeling of
the utmost disappointment that I sub
mit to a denial of this privilege.
I do not claim to' be better tan the
masses of my party, nor do I wish to
avoid any responsibility which, on ac
count of the passage of this law, I
ought to bear as a member of the
Democratic organization. Nei her
will I permit myself to be separated
fio:n my party to such an extent as
might be implied by my veto of leg
islation, which, though disappointing
is still chargeable to Democratic effort.
Kut there are provisions in this bill
k
which are not in line with honest tar
iff reform, and it contains inconsisten
cies and crudities which ouht not to
appear in tariff laws or laws of any
kind. Besides, there were, as you
and I well know, incideuts accompa
nying the passage of tic bill through
the Congreas, which made every sin
cere tariff reformer uuLappy, while
itifluence8 surrounded in its latter na
ges and interfered with its final
construction, which ought not to be
rtcogniz d or tolerated in Democratic
tariff reforms counsels. And yet,
notwithstanding all its vicissitudes
and all the hard treatment it received
at the hands of pretended friends, it
presents a vast improvement to exist-
conditioDS. It will certainly
ly cheapened. Thereupon, justice
and fairness to the consumer would
demand that the manufacturers be ob
liged to submit lo such a re adjust
ment and modification of the tariff
upon their finished goods as would
secure to the people the benefit of the
reduced cost of their manufacture,
and shield the consumer against the
exaction of inordinate profits.
It will be thus seen that free raw
material and a just and fearless regn
lation and reduction of the tariff to
meet the changed condition would
carry to every humble home iu the
land, the blessings of increased com
fort and cheaper living. The millions
of our countrymen who have fought
bravely and well Tor tariff reform,
should be exhorted to contiuue the
struggle boldly, challenging "to open
warfare and constantly guarding
against treachery and half heartedness
in their camp. Tariff reform will not
be settled until it is honestly and
fairly eettled in the interest and to ihc
benefit of a patient and long suffering
people.
Yours very truly,
Signed Grovbr Clsvkland.

The protracted convention at Lum
berton is an argument in favor of the
primary plan for Congressmen and
Governors. Nearly all the members
of the Lumberton conveLtion were
men of business and it was at a sacri
fice that they remained there. The
primary plan would do away with the
convention fight, as all the delegates
would have to do would be to go
there and cast the vote and that would
end it. Every day it becomes more
apparcnt-that the primary is the thing
in politics and it will be adopted
eventually.

is not only a barrier against the re
turn of mad p-otection, but it fur
nishes a vantage ground from which
must be waged further agressive opcr
ations against protected monopoly and
governmental favoritism.
I take my place with the rank and
file of the Democratic 'party who be
lieve in tariff reform and who know
what it is, wbo refuse to accept the re
sults embodied in this bill, as the
close of the war, who are not Minded
;o the fact that livery of Democratic
tariff reform has been stolen and worn
in the service of Republican protec
tion, and who have marked the places
where the deadly light of treason has
blasted the counsels of the brave in
their hour of might.
The trusts and combinations the
communion of pelf, who see machina
tions have prevented us from reach
ing the success we deserved, this
should not be forgotten nor forgiven.
We shall recover from our astonish
ment at their exhibition of power, and
if then the question is forced upon m
whether they shall submit to the free
legislative will of the peoples' repre
sentatives, or shall dictate the laws
which the people must obey, we will
accept and settle that issue as one in
volving the integrity and safety of
American institution.
I love the principles of true De
mocracy because they are founded in
patriotism and upon justice and fair
ness toward all interests. Iam proud
of my party organization because it is
conservatively sturdy and pertistent
in the enforcement of its principles.
Therefore I do not despair of the
efforts made by the Houoe of Repre
sentatives to supplement the bill al
ready passed by further legislation,
and to have engrafted upon it such
modifications as will more
meet Democratic hopes and
tious
I cannot be mistaken as to the uc
c.ssity of free raw materials as the
foundation of logical and sensible
taiiff reform. The exUn; to which
this is rccoguizod in the legislation
already secured is one of its encour
aging and redeeming features, but it
s vexatious to recall that while free
coal and irun ore have been denied us,
a recent letter of the Secretary ol the
Treasury discloses the fact that both
might have been made free by the
annual surrender of only about 700,
000 of unnecessary revenue
I am sure that there is a common
habit ot underestimating the impor
tance of free raw materials in tariff
legislation, and of regardiog them as
only related to concessions to be made
to onr manufacturers. The truth, is,
their influence is bo far reaching that
if disregarded a complete and benefi
cent scheme of tariff reform cannot be
successfully inaugurated.
When we give to our manufactur
ers free raw materials wc unshackle
American enterprises and ingenuity,
and these will open the doors of for
eign markets to the receptions of our
wares and give opportunity for the
continuous and remunerative employ
ment of American l'bor.

A high offioial of the Internal Rev
enue Bureau says that there is no
doubt whatever in regard to the en
forcement of the inoomo tax provis
ions; and that the blank forms upon
which returns of incomes must be
mde, and all other incidental work,
will be prepared in good time to put
the provisions into full operation on
the 1st day of January next. Up to
that date there is nothing to be done
but what can be accomplished in the
Internal Revenue Bureau with the as
sistance of a few additional cleTks.
The employment of collectors and
other field operators will not be nccss
sary until after January I, and the
returns of incomes may be made at
any time up to March 1 next. The
blauk forms have already been pre
pared, and will be printed and distri
buted as soon as Congress maes th
necessary appropriation. As showiog
the feeling of the Internal Revenue
officials on this question, it is stated
that they have practically completed
all the preliminary arrangements nec
essary for the execution of all the in
ternal revenue provisions of the bill
the very instant that it shall become
a law, including the income tax pro
visions, which, as already stated, will
not take eff.-ct until the 1st of Janua
ry m xt.

combination not to pick cotton for less
than 50 cents per hundred for white

this agreement, and picked for a white
mm at 40 cents per 100 was taken
out of his hou-e by a mob of negroes
last uight and severely beaten. Sev
cral negroes were arrested for the
crime, and thii undoubtedly incensed
the negroes. Owing to the poor tele

The Wilmington Star says: The
nominee, James A. Lockhart, of An

ence, tall in s'ature, physically ro
bust, handsome of nioulu, graceful in
carriage, affible in manners, gifted in
speech and voice, eloquent in deliv

cerning iudgmeut a man who would
attract attention in any assemblage,
and one of whom any constituency
might be proud. With this he is
credited by those who know him best
with a character distinguished for iu-
tegrity, honesty, sincerity, conscious
discharge of obligations and duty,
adhesion to the right as he aes it,
for hit thoroughbred Democracy and
the courage to stand by his convic

some, but not all, of the honorable
charcteristics which gave James A

friends who stood by him so stead -J.

An Admirable Kconomy.
The Washington Post, independent,
says: Hon. J D. Sayers, chairman of
the committee on appropriations, grat
ifies the country and credits himself io
the announcement that the Fifty-third
Congress has effected a saving of $30,
000,000 in the budget of public ex
penditure Reductions, where they
can be mtde without impairing the
efficiency of the government, are al
ways to be desired, but we recall no
ime within the generation when econ-
7. y was more desirable than it is at
present. The operation of the Mc-
Kinley act has not been satisfactory.
The result is that with a constant and
legitimate growth of necessity for
public expenditure and a tariff ar
rangement that did not yield the
needed revenue, we have been gradu
ally approaching a condition of bank
rup'ej. Even without the encourag
ing pr.,t-peot opon to us by the pas
sage of the new tariff bill, the reduc
tions ff..'ctcd by the committee of
which Mr. Sayers is the chairman are
therefore as useful a they are timely.
A matter of :(, 000. 000 is always
on : of moment to any government and
under any circumstances, but Mr.
Siyersha8 accomplished tnat economy
at a cris.s which lends it peculiar sig
nifbaEce. We do not doubt that, when the
new tariff bill shall have gone into
thorough effect, the Treasury will be
relieved of all its present embarrass
ments. Such competent authority as
Secretary Carlisle may be quoted in
support of this opinion. But some
months must elapse before that con
summation can b j reached, and mean
while iuch achievements as this of Mr.
Sayers come; at a most opportune
time.
The Democratic p'rty can go before
the people ia November with a very
fair title to their confidence. It is
something, surely, to have substitut
ed a sound, cm-ieryative, and provi
dent financial system for a thoroughly
unsatisfactory an 1 inadeq-nte one,
and to have exhibited, at the same
time, a cip.tcity for wholesome and
genuine retrenchment.

The appearance in Petersburg of Mr.
Diury Dariicr, of Arkansas brmgs up

ths Richmond Dispatch, in a f pecial
from Petersburg, narrates as follows:
"Mr. Drury Btrner, of Arkansas,
f i c ii i. : .
a rmn'T resilient oi i cicrsourg, is
here on a visit for tho first time in
twentvXve vear?. During the war
Mr. Barner was detailed from the
Confederate army to loA after repair
ing the telegraph lines after they had
been cut by the Federal forces. He
followed General Stoneman, with a
force of hands, from Gordonsville to
Hanover Junctiou. repairing the wires
after they had been-cut by his troop3.
Mr. Dirncr Et one time had his head
quarters in Richmond. He wt.s also,
during the war, in the emp'oy of the
Southern Express Company, at Char
lotte, N. C , and was the officer of the
compmy who, with a detailed Mjutd
of Confederate soldiers, guarded the
gold of the Confederate government
which was s'.ippcd trom Richmond to
Charlotte. N. C, when the former
city was evacuated by the Confederate
forces. Mr. Burner says that the
gold was packed iu kegs, and that it
filled a whole car. fhe gold was sub-
stijuently carried away from Charlotte
in wagons, and was afterwards cap
tured by the Fedeial army '"
Mr. Barnr-r is mistakeu about the
cold b.ing taken away from Charlotte

by rail, a? f.ir as it coul 1 be takjn by
train, for the reason ihat G n Sher

The gold was taken from Cbister by
wagon in the direction of Washing
