THE PROGRESS OF THE REPUB LICAN SCHEME OF ROBBERY. The impression in Washington rela tive to the course of the republican senatorial sub-committee is, that it will not mend matters that the ini quitous bill will he as unjustifiable, as oppressive, as absurd, as sweeping as ; a whole as the house foillis that pass ed. It is thought that It will reduce here and there and increase here and there. The point Is, as "we gather it, that western men will kick unless they get what they want, and eastern grab-alls will kick too unless they get a full share of the robbery contemplated. The two greedy, conscienceless sections will probably agree to the rapacity of each, and a bill of sweeping ro'bbery and manifold unrighteousness will he passed, even some so-called democrats voting for the infamous hill. In the house six of this bad stripe voted for the bill. In the senate two or three democratic traitors will swallow the monster at a gulp. The proposed wool tax is the greatest outrage ever at tempted against a free people. It de serves the execration of every Ameri can voter. The' -whole bill in the sen ate, is permeated with wrong and out- rage, and is a positive disgrace to any party or country. It Is loaded to the muzzle with absurdities 'and rob beries. It has been given out that the repub lican sub-committee have "been greatly perplexed and vexed. They have en countered many and great difficulties from contending interest?. You see, every member has a dull axe to grind; every section has certain products to be "protected" by robbing other sec tions. Even in the south there are ' signs that the "robber" principle is growing. This little set who make something could be made richer if they oould only rob the other sections. That little industry needs "fostering" and "protecting" and it too must get help by a tax bn the whole for its special benefit This is not regarded as wrong. as immoral, as unconstitutional, as op pressive. The ;plea is, the fellowa up north are robbing us, let us go In, take to the road and rob others with all pur might. The Baltimore Herald,, a gold bug, protection newspaper, has this in its issue of Wednesday last,: "One of the most notable political Ae Velopments ofrthe present time is the growth ,of protection sentiment In the south. They don't Want to be known as protectionists, but as aban donlng free trade only because it places the south at a disadvantage, as compared with the north. They profess firm allegiance to free trade as a correct principle, but assert that as long as the north cannot he weaned from protection it is no more than right that the south should also have Its share." Was there ever anything so open in its depravity and plundering propensity as this confession that as we are rob bed we will rob others. When a man in trade loses a debt of $100 or $1,000 by the rascality of some fellow he trusted, he turns around and seeks to rob some other man whose confidence he gains of all he had lost, but also to increase his means. Let this principle become general, and every man becomes a plunderer and a scoundrel, honesty takes its wings and justice and honor with it and flies away, and chaos oomes and every man is transformed Into an Ishmealite, a robber and a scoundrel. When that vicious, unconstitutional Blair educational hill was under fire in the congress, we had a prominent citi zen of North Carolina, an ex-confed erate colonel, to say to us he was in favor of the Blair bill because the north . had oppressed and plundered the south. and hefwas for retaliating, and he thought, 'by the Blair "bill the south ' could recover some of its lost funds that had been ruthlessly taken from it , by the north. We sympathized with ' him as to , the abounding wrongs done " to the south by the dominant north through their venal, arbitrary, perse cuting legislation, but we told him we would never agree to a monetary war of retaliation that violated the laws of morality and our country the consti tution itself. The number of hidden or open demo-, cratic advocates of robbery by., "protec tion" in the south we do not Relieve to be very large. In the total vote among the democrats, we do not think more than five in a hundred could 'be found. The republican whites for the most part are for any system of taxation that will keep, their i party in power. ; They profess to believe in "protection" and from their course in legislation generally we are not disposed to dis pute their sincerity in saying that the robber system suits them. When ever the democrats turn protectionists, there wfil be a disintegration that may prove hazardous in. the extreme. . Because there is a great development of cotton manufactures in the south is no reason whatever for democrats to abandon their old doctrine of a tariff strictly for revenue only. A tariff of 20 per , cent, is ample. It will bring all the incidental protection that is really needed. It will bring all the rev enue necessary (with the internal tax on vices and luxuries) under a just, economical government. Mr. Clay was a great man; a most 9 distinguished southron. He wast the leader of an able party, and the "Fath er of the American System," as protec tion was called. He said that this country would not hear, ought not to beara long continued high tariff. He said he would start with 32 per cent, average (we think it was), and gradu ally reduce it for ten years, until it reached 20 per cent., when it should be come fixed. He said this was his ideal tariff 20 per cent, average. What do you suppose Is the present McKinley-Dingley monster bill how much its average? -We forget Ding ley s own figures, hut not far from 60 per cent. nearly three times Clay's proposed tariff. The present tariff op eratingthe democratic Wilson law is nearly 40 per cent., or double the Clay bill proposed. 1 TO CUKE A COtt IN ONE DAT. Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tab lets.

We regret to learn of the illness from paralysis of Dr. John Manning of the university of North Carolina, and trust he will soon be well. It is confined to his face as yet. He' is put as In his 65th year.. We think it an error oy a year or two. He is probably in his 67th year. The accidental killing of Mr. S. T. Pender by a train at Lincolnton is very sad and will be much regretted. The name of his father-lhis faithful, bril liant services in battle and for the con federacy, will intensify the regret. Let us repeat here what we have said more than once that the people of Edge combe and the east (the state refusing to do it) ought to erect; a monument to the memory of Major General William D. Pender, In the capitol square at Ra leigh. Upon it should be recorded Gen eral Lee's tribute to him when an nouncing his death from a wound re ceived in battle. - The great captain of this country never said so much of any other soldier who was killed with the one exception of General T. J. Jackson, Stonewall." Mr, Wimbish's - radicalism is under suspicion it appears. He-is understood to have gone over from the democrats in time to vote for McKinley. Is not that enough? Many so-called leaders have flopped as easily and quickly, and got to the pie counter soon after. When was a test made before as to time? Is it not enough to bolt the democracy at any'hour to entitle a fel low to "grub and glory." Wimbjsh is probably no more of a republican now than he was when a democratic chair man; but he is in much company of the same sort. We could probably call over a dozen or fifty of the leading offide-seekers who can find the hour when they were neophytes, hungry and anxious, seeking grub. The trouble is with the floppers they get in and want office at once, shoving aside "the fire tried" who have borne the burden and the accusation and the shame of being radicals among white men. SNAPS. Henry Watterson is still abusing the blmetallists, but the country cares lit tle for his tirades. He is a spent force.

Will they let the fight go on until Greece is whipped, or will they let Turkey hold Crete? Can they afford to let the war rage to defeat or exter mination? I The many reports from the seat of war, in Europe indicate that the Greeks are rather getting the advantage thus far of the Turks. So let it continue, The sympathies of civilized people are with the Greeks, if the powers stand aloof and behold with approval! the Turkish cOurse. THB MONTHLY MAGAZINES. "Current Literature" for April ap pears under . the editorship of Mr, George W. Cable, who introduces "The Editor's Symposium." Among the choice things are, "The Frustrated Es cape" by Anthony Hope Hawkins, and t "The Sovereignty of Character", by Rev. John Watson, ("Ian Maclaren") This monthly has been a favorite with us since its beginning. It is more read able latterly, by reason of a larger in fusion of literary matter. It Is an eclectic mainly, and some times there was a deficiency of the strictly literary features. We consider it a valuable. instructive and entertaining monthly. It has no rival, for there is nothing like it. The price is $3 a year or 25 cents a number. "The Polymnian" is the new monthly issued by the two societies of the Pres byterian college at Charlotte. It makes a neat appearance. We were surprised at the excellence of the first paper, on "Sidney Lanier," by Mildred ' Cabell Watkins. It is neat, clear, calm, ju dicious a good piece of work. Can it be the production of a school girl ? It has the tone and style of maturity. We will refer to the poet's family, and what is said in the paper. SHARPS AND FLATS. We regret sincerely to learn of the death of Hon. W. S. Holman, of In diana, who for more than thirty years has been a member of the United States house of representatives. A democrat of democrats he has been a most faith ful, efficient, honest servant of the peo ple. He was in derision called "the watchdog of the treasury." He was a genuine reformer and opposed all e travagant, unnecessary appropriations of the public moneys. He stood alone in bis fidelity to the people and tried to guard them from spoliation and op pression by their own representatives. So unpopular was his course so wise, so conservative, so consistent, so hon orable that he met with no sympathy and was the nutt of spendthrifts and the recipient of jibes and rebukes from the northern press. A true man has gone to ' his reward. Would that the country was filled with such public men, and that economists of- his type filled the congress. The views of Mr. Herbert, formerly of Alabama, but lately of Cleveland's cabinet, relative to the south will be widely read and in the main approved. The northern people after thirty-two years of peace, have held in distrust the.south. On the other hand, and with equally as good, perhaps much better, cause the south has not had confidence in the north. The northern press with is vast circulation and influence, has done a vast injury to the south by mis representation and even slander. The legislation of congress, controlled by the north,has been so of ten hurtful and offensive to the south that the best in formed and truest citizens have held the north at arms length and most na-, turally. Even after thirty-two years of peace the war in the northern press has continued and the bloody-shirt has been the rallying symbol and the ex pression of northern feeling and antag onism. It is passing away to some ex tent. But there are constant croppings.. out of sectional dislike and expression of a very Insulting sort seen in north ern prints. If Mr. Herbert has any ref erence to "trusts" in what he says of ; - ......... 'corporations" he is mistaken in be lieving that the. south either-favors or is in love with such oppressors and rob bers. The Havermeyer , and tobacco and other villainous trusts are not in favor with the people at large. Indi viduals favor them because they are favored by them. The robbed people do not like them now. ' - The south is a great farming country under favorable conditions." With low prices for products the farms do not flourish so" well. There Is no want of food, but a great sterility of money of surplus for comforts. People are more and more learning the necessity of diversifying crops and not risking all on one crop as gamblers do their all on one card. There is a steady dim inution of the size of farms. Governor McLaurin, of Mississippi, says that in his state in 1870, farms averaged JS3 acres. In 1890 it was but 122 acres. The south can grow all the root crops and grasses. It is a great corn producer and could be a much greater wheat pro ducer. The government reports show this: In 1890 Virginia prduced 38,067,- 000 bushels of corn; North Carolina, 29,829.000; Georgia, 32,504,000; Alabama, 32,445,000; Mississippi, 27,973,000; Texas, 32,228,000; Arkansas, 29,723,000; Tennes see, 71,893,000; West Virginia, 21,698,000; Kentucky, 80,932,000. In wheat: Vir ginia, 5,724,000 bushels; North Carolina, 4,621,000; Georgia, 1,609,000; Texas, 4.529,000; Arkansas, 1,260,000; Tennessee, 6,628,000; West Virginia, 4,056,000, and Kentucky, 6,976,000. If necessary it could easily double these crops. The War Records published by the United States government showthat in the war the south furnished Xhe north with considerably more thfn 400,000 soldiers. So the eight or nine southerll states were fighting against the over whelmingly great north, recruiting its armies in Europe, and drawing upon the south for over-400,000 Jnen. We have known this all through the years, and we have marvelled why the war should, have lasted four years instead of six months. The War Records show the north had in the field over 2,700,000 men, exclusive of its vast navy. The border states were against the south and the, confederates received not one- third the help from them that the north received. Think of 600,000 men fighting against the north, 400,000 and more men from its own section, . and with Europe to help. -It is indeed most marvellous that the "south was not crushed within six months. We asked a northern sol dier in Sherman's army why they had nnt whiDDed the south sooner. His reply was "If you had had our gener als and we had had your generals we would have done so." PUBLIC OPINION. Conspicuous among the journals which adopted the policy of ignoring Corbett and Fitzsimmons are .The New York Tribune and The Philadelphia Ledger. The Tribune is editorially as able a paper as there is in the United States and Probably exerts as wide an influence as any. The Ledger has the largest circulation of any Philadelphia newspaper and publishes as mucn gen eral news as any paper in the country The Tribune, The Ledger and some other famous, newspapers have taken pl verv decided stand against the pub-; lieation of anything about prize fights tho men who enease in them. It is probable that these papers may lose subscribers because they- refused to orint ? word about a matter which was for weeks one of gossip in the country, but they may gain more than they will lose even from a material standpoint. The experiment they have made is an interesting one and we would like to know whether or not it has any per ceptible eff ect upon the business of the newspapers in 'question. Atlanta Jour nal. ; j ', . It is not fair to hlame the McKinley administration for the sweeping dem ocratic victories. The political reac tion throughout the country, of which these victories are irreferahle proof, is not against the administration, but against its policies. What these poli cies would be was as well known be fore' November as they are now. The republican party and its presidential candidate were perfectly frank. They promised the maintenance of the gold standard and a restoration of the pro tective policy. These promises are faithfully being carried out. Why, then, should the people repent them of their work at the polls last November? The answer is visible for those who have eyes to see and brains .that are not drugged Deyond thinking "by par tisanship. The people simply have dis covered that the gold standard and protection do not produce the fruits predicted for them by the successful party. The election of McKinley, it will he remembered, was to be followed at once by a lighting of furnace fires, a revival of trade and a general return of prosperity all based upon the knowl edge that the gold standard would re main with us, and the "threat of free trade" be removed. New York Jour nal. Now that The Courier-Journal and the rest of the "sound money" organs are quite through with their silly sneers at the proposed "bimetallic move ment, it may! be in order for the sound sense element of our population to consider the question seriously. It is all very well to rave and go into Cuckoo convulsions over any and ev ery proposition not in sweetest har mony with the Indianapolis convention of last year, but when we consider that the independent free silver coinage proposition received 6,500,000 votes, and the international bimetallism proposi tion received more than 7,000,000 votes while! the Bynum-Cockran-C?uckoo proposition received only 132,000 votes, there really appears to be some ground for concluding that the American peo ple are in H avor of taking action. Up to this time we have been regaled by the Cleveland mouthpieces with the scornful assertion that Europe, and particularly Great Britain, is either in different to or contemptuous of the movement inaugurated by Mr, Mc Kinley and represented by the com missioners recently appointed to set on foot the negotiations with the Europe an powers. Even Mr. Moreton Frewen, hitherto a prominent advocate of inter national bimetallism, has written to The Post belittling the prospect and in sisting that the,, question is, for the time, a dead one. Yet in England we see nothing to confirm this view of the matter. Washington Post. No tariff ever proposed has, in fact, had so much popular, vituperation heaped upon it. Leading republicans of the non-official class have said in various parts of the country that the Dingley bill will not merely make their localities democratic, but will make themselves, for the time being, demo cratic.

The Oxford Ledger complains of the high handed and reckless exercise of executive clemency by the governor in pardoning Henry Harris, who it seems made a most unmitigated at tack with intent to kill, on Mr. Frank Landis, of Oxford. Every good citizen is expected to help to suppress lynch law but it is needless if the pardoning power of the governor is to encourage crime by turning criminals loose upon an outraged people.

It appears that a committee from the National Reform Press As sociation populist newspapers, we take it has been harrowing up the tender feelings of Marion Butler with a re quest that he call the populist national committee together "for-the purpose of calling a national delegate conference of the people's party not later than July 4th." Senator Butler paid no at tendon to the request, having no use whatever in his business for a conven tion, either of the populists or any other. Nevertheless the Kansas pop ulists are up in arms against Mr. Butler- for his refusal to. call a convention -Asheville Citizen.
