M.Waddell. Iu fact, it was a big au dience that listened to the plain and pointed truths that fell from the Colonel's lips. The court house was packed. Col. Waddell was introduced by Mr. II. S. Puryear, President of the Cleveland and Fowle club, who opened his speech by thanking the Concord Cornet Band for their ap propriate selection of "I Dreamt I lived in marble halls" and "Then you remember me, tne nrst iq befitting to high protection monop olists ; the second the words of the people after the next election. After telling his audience that he had nothing but pleasant recollec tions of Cabarrus he said he had come not to appeal to their passious, but to their pockets, not to talk bun combe but business. There was no true North Carolinian who was M ill ing again to see his State as it was under the Canby Constitution and Republican rule. If there was one who desired it, he dared not speak it plainly nor openly. He would not insult the older people by a repeti tion of those shameful acts, nor speak of what memory tells them, but he would tell the younger ones of that constitution gerymandered in Charleston, S. C, for North Car olinas thieves aud carpetbaggers, and not by the people of the State; he would tell them of the mock elec tion that followed, placing the State in the hands of men who transfer red the hard-earned taxes of the peo ple to their own pockets, and he would tell them that the creator of this wrong was Staunton, the Re publican candidate for Auditor. Un der this rule nothing was done to advance the State, our school funds were stolen and our oapitol was turned into a wild pandemonium Although the Radicals . disclaimed responsibility they can not be sepa rated, and with this picture before U3 we can but say, "By their fruits ye shall know them." In National politics this party had been guilty of every form of oppres sion from the stealing of a .ward box to that of the presidency. Ev ery foot of our public domain save that of Alaska had been secured un- iia-iuutiauu ruie, ana uot a loot. of it had been squandered until the ! 1 -r-v itepuuticans came iuto power, Lnder their rule 149,000,- uuu acres had been cobbled up bv railroad corporations, and 02,000,000 by other monopolies, besides, we had $42,000,000 in interest stolen. .The i democratic congress had rc- claimed 50,000,000 acres of thU While we of the South had been splitting hairs on constitutional rights New England had her hand in the public pocket. They bought up the bonds at Oc on the dollar and not content with this had them made payable in gold and fiee from taxation. Although at that time there were 40,000,000 of people to be taxed. 250,000 bloated bond hol ders were the first to find relief from taxation. The Democratic party claimed that there was no constitu tional right to levy a tax beyond the expenses of the government. The Re publican party by its act through h'gh tariff had created a surplus of $129000000 per year and this surplus increasing nt the rate of 9 or 10 mil lion per mouth. Plainly this came out of the pockets of the people, not by direct taxation, but by the indirect high tariff of 47 cents on the dollar. The present levy was a war tax of 18C2, and we are still paying it. For every $1.00 worth of. goods we buy 47 cents goes to the mautifactnrers. In 1788 we only had a tariff on 7 articles and that on ly 5 per cent. Under Harrison's bill in 1846 we had a tariff on 32 articles at 7 J per cent. In those days we prospered and had no strikes or tramps. Now we have a tariff on 4,000 articles at 47 per cent, and we have both strikes and tramps. With all this tariff New England i still howling, although the Mills bill is the highest tariff bill except the Morrill bill we have ever had. The Republican party is just crosswise on this question. They want protec tion to benefit the laborer and at the same time raise proportionally the price of what he has to buy. It is an insult to the intelligence of the people, Chancey M. Depew, the great Republican lawyer and R. R. magnate whilst howling for protec tion to American laborers has just shipped Italians to compete with these laborers. Colossal fortunes are built up by Trusts and Com bines. The lately formed sugar trust by an advance of one cent per pound takes 30,000,000 out of the pockets of the people. The Repub lican party have failed to take off the reveuue, and now, although em bodied in the platform they say they are in favor of repeal "after the na vy is fitted out and the pensions are paid." We used to pay $5.00 for an ounce of.quinine and the cry was we would injure labor if we took the tariff off, but we took it off and now we pay 50 cents for the same amount, and still it did not stop the manu facturers. Because this tariff tax comes in an indirect wav we do not see it so plainly, bnt it still is a bur den. As for the Third party move ment in thi3 State, he said, intem perance was a moral question and a man might just as well run for Gov ernor on the question of whether immersion or sprinkling was ria;ht as on prohibition, nd this party was doing an immoral act by drawing away votes from the Democrotic par ty, whose rule in this State meant good government, and at the same time they are setting back the cause of temperance. The gifted orator held his audience for 2 hours on this question of Democratic reform as we believe no one else could have done. Not a word but that of praise was heard. Many remarked that for the first time they Jiad an insight into the tariff question. Cabarrus coun ty will be right in November for Cleveland, Fowle and Democracy. CAMP MEETIXCiS VS. POLITICAL PROII1PITIOX, We are in receipt of a copy of the Prohibition Leader, at last. It came all the way from Archdale, accompanied by a copy of The Standard. Both look the worse for wear, really they are badly scratched, and this scratching comes from our editorial on Prohibition Campmeetings. Be it far from us, in any way, to ridicule the good old time camp meetings of former days, where the ministers of that ever ffrowinjr churchjthe Methodist,have exhorted and preached' with christian zeal and fervor "Be ye temperate in all things." .Little by little these self sacrificing preachers, have by word and deed aided in the work of chris tianizing the world and brinsrins man to a realization of moral right Step by step they have gone on in the even tenor of their way satisfied that, in due time, their rewaid would come, not in the shape of earthly political power, but from a higher power, uttering "Well done thou good and faithful servant." Some Third party men may "feel and know that there is no prospect of getting prohibition through eith er of the old parties," but they do know there is no .pro?pect of the Third, party getting into and they do know,where power, they are preachers especially, that through old time campmeeting preachers the , cause of Ttmiwfinoo Wa . j -advanced so far that local option is enforced over a greater part of the South, aud is still growing The Third party that has done this not was a political Third preached ouly prohibition," "but a party of 6elf-sacrifizing laborers who followed his injunction, "Go ye into all the world and preach my name." These men did not air their rhetoric, nor vent their spleen in the columns of a newspaper, by calling men liars ; nor did they loose sight of their pul pit duties in a race for political place or money. If at anytime they were charged with one jot or tittle of wrong, no great reward was offered their accus ers to prove themselves guilt', but their own aid was offered for clear ing up the enigma. We do not know that the Leader is "trying to crush out anything save the saloon." but we do know that if its editor will look back over North Corauna history, be will plainly see that if this movement aids in de feating Democracy it crushes out all there is of good government iu North Carolina, and places in "power that party which the people once in their might, rose up and hurled from po litical place for wroug doing. If Mr. Walker is so very innocent of the charge of being in the service of the Republicans, or of saying 'We are going to win ; it we cannot by fair mean3 we will by foul. Aud if we do not triumph, there will be one of the bloodiest wars that ever blackened the pages of history" then let him deny it and let the Leader as his mouth piece publish it to the people so "that they be not deceiv ed." JSOT A TEW. Only seven distinct national tick ets asking for the support of the people iu this campaign. They are in the point of imrortance and A weight classed as follows: Demo cratic, Republican, Union Labor, the United Labor, Industrial Re form, Equal Rights and the Prohi bition. In North Carolina, how ever, the Republican candidate for Vice President has control of the Prohibition party, inasmuch as (Rev.) Mr. Walker, the Republican money-seeker, is doing all in his power to assist the worst enemies the State tver had the Republi cans. What Buchard was to Blaine, Blaine becomes to Ben Harnson iu this campaign- Blaine is Harrison s mouth piece and tail, too. He said : "they,' speaking of trusts, "are largely pri vate affairs with which President Cleveland nor any private citizen has any patieukr right to iuterfere, ihe trusts, you win please re member, are unions of scamps that make the farmers pay. 10 cents for bagging, aud control the market for all that the farmer has to sell. Will Dcckery, the always-de-feated-Dockery-of-the-busted-bloody shirt party, tell the high-toned vo ters of North Carolina, who he is that is now making suit against the State ? Luther Bexsox's "fifteen year's in hell" is Mr. Walker's bible in this campaign. Benson was the great temperance orator and great drunkard, too, that canvassed the South a few years ago Who is the editor of the "South ern Protectionist"? From his own writings, a stranger would judge the poor weak mortal an escaped saint attempting a great moral revolution. Down with yon, poor Rad ! Go, study the ten commandments ! Belt a Lockwood, the sweet lit tle woman running for President of the United States, says; "If I am elected I will do as other Presidents have done." That means sit with her feet on the table, chew tobacco, etc. Ah, God bless the little gal. My Son Oliver went to New York, ey now. sometime ago He's got mon- Has Dockery, the Moses of the Morton machine, divided spoils with his ally the cranky Walker ? Does Walker drink cider? The Subfeet was Changed. "Tea," said he, "life is bo lonely." "It is lonely, sometimes," she an swered. "Wouldn't it be sweet to have a lit tle cottage covered with ivy and honeysuckle and rose bushes ?" "Oh ! wouldn't it !" "And when a fellow comes home tired from business, to have a nice little wife meet him at the door with a kiss." "T-e-e s." Aud when the summer nights, the windows open, the sunset just giving ight enough in the cosy parlor, and you I mean a wife at the piano sing ing in the gloaming." "I think it would be nice." "And then " At this point a care worn woman came around the corner with a pair of twins in a perambulator. A dead silence fell on the summer air for a little. Then they changed the sub ject. Perhaps the oldest railroad engin eer in the country in length of ser vice is Benjamin Hafner, who has been empioyed by the Erie road for forty-seven years. In all that time no train iu his charge has met with a serious accidcDt. Resolutions Adopted by the Indiana State Federation of Trades. Whereas 1. Believing the poli-Jf ill U 1. 1 cies of government should Le gen eral in their benefits and not fixed for the advantage of the few ; and, further, that under laws now exist ing this principle has not been ' fol lowed ; and believing that the labor ing masses are now interested in the success of such principles and poli cies as will give them a more equal chance with the employing class than of the success of any political party ; 2. That we condemn the policy of legislation beginning in 1801, which has been to enable the bank ers aud bondholders of the nation to secure for government pledges obtained with greatly depreciated naner monev fcenerallv about 50 1 A -" cents on the dollar), though bear i gold on fully 100 cents, a redemption of these pledges in coin at a fabulous premium while every other obligation to sol dier, sailor or citizen was legally navable in the paper money of the United States 3. That we are opposed to all laws which have steadily and almost wholly transferred the enormous burdens of oppressive taxation from the monev kinsrs of the couutrv to v -j the great army of consumers, until to-day the latter class is practically the sole nack-horses of this boasted republic of freedom and popular rights, while yet producing all it wealth and providing all its com forts. lvesolved, That we cannot sup port the candidates of the Republi can party for President and Vice President, because both of them are wanting in sympathy for the labor ing classes. This was 6hown by Gen. Harrison in memorable strike of 1888, when he volunteered to commaud a company of soldiers to shoot laborinsr men down, after the corporations refused a settlement by peaceable means. For four days' service as captain of said company be received and receipted for twenty- silver dollars, which was as much blood money as the "thirty pieces of silver" for which Judas Iscariot be trayed the Savior of mankiud. It has been shown bv Morton, in his career as a Wall street money shark and as a sharer iu the unholy g in manv ereedv corporations that have cruelly oppressed their em ployees. In trying to get possession of the shingle on which was in scribed "Shoes made aud repaired by Levi P. Morton." offering a large sum for it that he might destroy tin evidence of his former humble oe cupatiou, Morton has shown him self ashamed of the condition to which he was born, thus sacrificing all claim to the respect and support of the honest laborers of the laud who have no blushes for their em ployment. Resolved, That on voting on four teen different occasions against meas ures that were proposed iu the Sen ate of the L uited btates for the re striction of Chinese cheap labor, and in his often repeated private avowals of a willingness that the naturaliza tion laws should he extended so as give Chinamen the right to become citizens, Harrison has given the strongest possible proofs of his utter disregard of the interests and wel fare of American workingmen. Resolved, That for reasons here specified and for the further fact that these Republican candidates, iu their habits, thoughts, sympathies and associations are of the class that would inaugurate an aristocracy on the ruins of free government, organ ized labor in this and othr States is cordially invited to co-operate with us in the enforcement of the senti ments and objects herein expressed. 'MI COD ABERTf ATIIT," We Knew Ton'd Come -He Repudiates the Third Party. Special Cor. State Chronicle. At the earnest solicitation of many friends, and after mature and prayer ful reflection, I beg to withdraw my name a3 candidate for Superinten dent of Public Instruction on the Prohibition ticket. Inthelengthing shadows of evening, nearing my "three score years and ten," the es teem of my friends is more than ever dear to me. This, I am sure I should lose in a measure by my can didacy, while I am now convinced that evil would result thereby, both to Prohibition and to my friends and fellow citizens iu the State. I think my friends in North Carolina will testify that during my life I have never hesitated to follow where duty pointed the way. The nomination came'under the guise of duty, "and I accepted. I now plainly see that this present Third party movement will not only imperil the white man's supremacy in the South; but it will damage the cause of Prohibition al most incalculably. Since the war, when I voted at all, my ballpt has always been cast in favor of " Democ racy; and as I am now, and always have been, it full sympathy with that party on every question, except that of license, if, as it is plainly to be seen, one of the old political par ties must triumph in this contest, I shall not allow myself to be used as ten instrumentality in putting my . dg m North Carolina tinder the dominion of negro rule. Hence, I hereby decline the candidacy and withdraw from the Third Party, and earnestly recommend my life long friend and brother, Maj. S. M. Finger, who is a Christian gentle man, a Prohibitionist and a scholar. to all my Prohibition brethren in the State, In the present situation, I earnest ly advise the withdrawal of the rro- hibition ticket in North Carolina, aud the support of Democracy m the present contest. We cannot af ford to impose negro supremacy up on our fellow citizens. In an off year, next year, it you please, I earnestly beg all good men of all parties to unite with me, out side of politics, in putting this in famy of all infamies, the liquor traf fic, out of our State. I am now an old man. Most of my life lies in the past; how it has been consecrated to humanity, the people know. And in this fight against the arch enemy of earth and heaven, though my sword be power erless as Priam's, it shall strike for God and the Right. Yours truly, R. L. Aberxethy. A Lady Tears Certain Men all to Pieces, A well known society woman, speaking of the attacks made upon ber sex for their methods of hand ling their skirts or bustles when sit ting down, carrying their parasols and other habits, says: 'I think three quarters of such talk is non sense. I am perfectly sure that men have just as many marked habits as women. What can be more absurd, I'd like to know, than to see a man every time he sits down fling his coat tails wide apait as though something frightful would happen if he forgot to part them. Then, again that ever lasting twitching at the legs of his trousers so as to pull them up in folds above the knees and exposing generally the not always attractive top of a pair of shoes with strings tied in by no means a picturesqe knot. To me one of the repulsive habits is the refolding up of a hand kerchief before replacing in the pockets, which is quite common to men. I always wonder if the user is afraid of gettirg them mussed or only wantB the out side fresh and clean As regards the perpetual movement of the band to the head and face, pulling down cuffs so they will show beneath the sleeve, and similar tricks, are they not everyday sights? Upon my word I'm really sick of the subject, and when I walk along the streets particularly and observe the habits of the male pedestrians and their utter disregard of the rights of others. I think the less they say about the weaker sex the better.' Philadelphia Times. 113 Miles In 107 Minutes. A railroad official, speaking about fast time on railroads, has this to say in rcrard to Jay Gould's tour through the South a few week ago "When the Jay Gould special left Memphis, Superintendent Pegram of the East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia Railway gave instructions to run through to Chattanooga on 55 mile per hour schedule, which was accomplished without an appa rent effort. On arriving at Chatta nooga the management was compli mented by the party, and the ques tion was asked whether other por tions of the system was in a condi tion to admit of an equal rate of speed. The question resulted in Mr Gould enjoying the distinction of riding on the fastest train that ever ran on the American continent. On leaving Chattanooga orders were given to make the run to Knoxvjlle 112 miles on a 60 mile per hour schedule, or better if possible. It appeared to be understood though not expressed, thet the run to Knox ville should beat all previous records, and when the wires flashed back the news that the 112 miles had been made in 107 minutes, you can imag ine the enthusiasm that greeted the announcement." Cincinnati En quirer. The Republican women have taken a hand in the canvass and in a cam paign circular ask their sisters : "Do you realize the moral side, the heart side, of the economic questions which are being discussed in the campignt" When it was proposed to free whiskey from taxation Mr. Blaine objected because, he said, "there is a moral side to it." But, notwith standing this protest, the Republi can Convention disregarded "the moral side, the heart side," of this economic question by declaring that it favored free whiskey "rather than surrender any part" of the war tariff on ihe people's necessities. No true woman can endorse such a senti ment. Aee You Made miserable by Indi festion, Consumption, Dizziness, ioss of Appetite, Yellow Skin? Shi loh's Vitalizer is a positive cure.
