THE OLD PARTY PRESS AND THE FACTS. : Walker at Ltjmberton. Why men Dared not Hear Him Again. The papers run by solid lye power are talking as follows : ;x Tobacco Plant (Dem.) Sept. 28. ; i We gather from our exchanges that Mr. "Walker of the Republican annex, is hav ing rather a lonesome time during his canvass. - He will feel still more lonesome on November 7th. From that and - the like, people . who know nothing, will know less than noth- - ing. ; Here is our special correspondence: IUMBEBTON, N. C, Oct. 1, 1888, Ed. Prohibitionist : Mr. "Walker filled his appointment at.Maxton and I am in formed by an eye witness mat ne naa a good audience and made afirst rate speech, in fact a friend of mine from Maxton told me, to-day, that it was one of the most forcible speeches he ever heard and said in the same connexion that if men would vote according to their conscientious con virtions at the November election. Wm T. Walker would be Governor. His speech here at- Lumberton was the Dest l ever "'"hftard "presented to an audience on the subiect. and it made an excellent impres sion. He had a good audience at 1 p. m and manv who could not. hear, him at ; that hour on account of business, request ed to have him speak again at night. Mr. Walker consented and at night spoke to an audience composed of our best cm zens and among them some ladies. His subscription -list of over 30 shows how ' well his speech was received. Many men of both parties are with us as the result of Mr. W's speeches. I think we wil gain more in this county from the Repub licans than from the Democrats, i taixea with some men who heard Air. "Walker in the day time and asked them if they were . . . . - . . . i going to near mm at nignt ana some'saia No.'r I was surprised at this, after hear - ing them speak so favorably of the speech and said, " why not ?" and the"reply was, " WelL I don't want to hear him because it worries my conscience about now l should vote and I don't want to be troub led about it." I am truly glad that a party has come before the people with an r issue that when pressed affects men's con sciences ; it is the first . party since my recollection that has ever disturbed men's consciences as to how they should vote. Turn on the light and let it shine so bril liant! v that it will break the crust of some of our old politicians and let them see that the people are beginningto learn to vote as they pray. .

TAR The Librarian of Congress has published the average tariff from the year 1821 to the present, with the following results : j - The averaere tariff between 1882 and 18S7 was 44 per cent.. The av erage tann from 1821 to lawas 34 jper cent, and the average between 1821 and 1861 was only 37 per cent. The Mills bill reduces the tariff from 47 per cent, to about 42 percent,, or only 2 per cent, lower than the high est average of the past 5 years. It is still from 5 to 8 percent. higher than the average from 1821 down to 1882. ' J . All this shows how absurd is the Republican cry that the Democrats mean Free Trade by the Mills BilL If a 42 per cent., or less, tariff means free trade, the Republicans eave it to us most, half "of the years they were in power, for in 1863 it was but 33 : in 1864. 37 : 1872-3, 37: in 1875, 41; in 1880,40; in 1883, 41. And it shows th hollo wness of the Democratic cryj against protec tion, for since 1830 'there has been but one vear, 1868. that the tariff; waa as high as 48 1 per cent. The four years when it wasI47 per cent. were the following 1866-7 X under Johnson and 1885-'87 under Cleve land. ' ' ; I And over this tariff bug-a-boo the millions are taking sides when 999 out of every 1,000, know not the firs change they would make in the tariff to benefit the whole' country. " : The truth is, every mam is for free trade when hejwantsto buy, and a prcn tectionist when : he wants to sell. Abolish' the saloons, and well be happy and wealthy I und er the high est or lowest tariff ever put on the statute books ! i . ' That's the true issue! EVEN EVANGELISTS r TALK POLITICS.

That is as it should be, for one-third of the voters of the State are olored. Of the six. three have voted the Democratic ticket, and three the Republi can ticket. To thus draw equally from both sides is our heart's desire. ' ' ? Of a piece with this is the scene at Mt.

LET IT BE REMEMBERED. Spirit of the. Age. , ' - when the churches and the preachers and the good women of North Carolina were doing all in their power to carrv prohibi tion, the v Republican State i Executive Committee held a meeting here in the city of Raleigh and decided and resolved to oppose prohibition, and to throw the vote of the Republican part of the State against it. And let it be remembered that Col Oliver HwDockery. as soon as the cam paign of that year opened, took the field against prohibition and did all he could to defeat the preachers, the churches and the pray era of the women; and that the defeat of prohibition that year, was main ly due to the 'action of the Republican party witn :.joi. jjockery, as one of its leaders. - And let it be remembered that in 1882, when a T Congressman for the , State-at-large was to be chosen, the Liquor Deal ers' Association, under the name of the Anti-Prohibition-Liberal Party, held a convention in the city ---of Raleigh and nominated CoUQ- H. Dockery, and that he accepted the nomination of the said iaquor Dealers-Association. And don't let it be forgotten that, a week later, the r&epuDiicans met in convention nere, . in the same hall, and endorsed the nomina tion made by the liquor party tkat par ty which had the year before made sport of preachers, calling them crazy fanatics. And then let it be remembered that Col. Dockery stumped the State aeain in 1882, telling the people as he Went, that roniDiuon wouia taKe away tne people s iberties -and charging that the Demo- A 1. 1 T 1 - . . traus party was me iToniDiuon party. - Yes, tell it in the ears of the peo ple. Those are just the reasons why no true patriot can vote for Dockery, just as we have been telling all along. - - v But dare the Spirit of the Age tell the people that Judge Fowle is one whit less opposed to Prohibitory laws than Mr. Dockery. How did he vote in 1881 ? How did he vote in your local option elections Raleigh? , in We have no use for any candidate who does not heartily believe it his duty, if in power, to make liquor making and selling for common drinking a crime. Mr. Dockery does" not so believe. Does Judge Fowle? A plain "yes," will do. JUDGE TOURGEE FIGHTING IT TOO! GOOD SIGN! The rule of the law that one shall be taken to intend the natural and reason able consequences of his acts will natural ly be applied with excessive rigor to an organization which has not hesitated to arrogate exceptional excellence and de mand peculiar consideration at the hands of others. Albion W. Tour gee. So writes Mr. Tourgee, perhaps withont the slightest conception of the most nat ural application of his formulated rule. This attempt to make Prohibitionists re sponsible for what somebody else does or may do, is simply absurd. The as sumption that a voter should choose the leastof two evils is an abominable heresy in politics. The same base sophistry was used " to keep men from voting the anti- slavery ticket, and to embarrass and de feat the. growth of the Republican party In answer to f that sophism, then,; Dr. Bushnall said, " There never was a maxim more corrupt, more totally bereft of prin cipie, ana .uyinan iseecner said, l am accountable for my own conduct only. If others elect bad men; for their conduct I am not answerable." Mr. Tourgee utterly fails to" fasten upon , Prohibitiohists the responsibility of what others may do. - In deed it is strange that he cannot see that his assumption is as applicable to the Re publicans as to the Prohibitionists. Mr, Fisk wasominated before Mr. Harrison Why did not the Republicans, if they are so horrified at the thought of Democratic success and supremacy, retire from the field and leave the race - to , Mr. Fisk against the whisky Democracy ?

It is a dreadful thought that this traffic in souls is unwit tingly kept up by professing Christians. Oh, ye professing Christian men ! Shame on your support . of the license parties! By the unwitting testimony of these your - partners, you are solely responsible for this hellish traffic to-day.
