LiNCoLN'TON, X. U APRIL 10, 1891 ?,K.AR A.U TIIK TARIFF. Tiotectiou organs tell us that the ituioval t tariff duties from sugar and the consequent cheapening ot it will largely increase the consump tion, which is doubtless true, and as it increases the consumption or the dtuianJ, it should uaturallv follow, especially with a 33 per cent, boun ty, tiiat it should largely increase the production in this couutry, and this will of course largely increase the estimated amount ot bounty to be paid, which is figured out at S'J, 000,000 for this year. If removing the tariff tax on sugar increases its consumption, wouldn't the removal or the reduction ot the tar ill" on oth er articles which enter into every day use wool, for instance large ly iucrease their consumption and per consequence the production I If not, why not ? Perhaps the pro tectionists, at leist those of them wiio wish to be considered logical, may conclude afrer a while that a reasonable tariff which encourages cousumptiou aud production is bet- tec tuau a very high tariff which reduces butb.

President, iCc. "Dear Sir : I am in receipt of your ktter of March 2Stb, inviting me to attend a free trade mass mecti iug .o be held at Cooper Union Thursday evening, April 2d. While tbuuking you j0r youc courtesy I cauoot attend the meeting because i have no sympathy with its pro fessed purpose. I had supposed my opinions upon the taiiff ques tion iK.d been so frequently expies ed in public that nobody could ex pect me consistently to attend a meeting intended to promulgate the doctiine ot fiee trade. I am not an advocate ot tree trade aud never have been. I stand with the Dem ocratic patty in favor ot taiiff re fonu, which means a reduetiou of the present excessive and iuiqui. tous tariff and the retention of the tariff limited to the necessities ot the government economically ad" ministered. 1 do not believe in re forming the tariff' by wholly abol ishing it. I believe ihat the best iuterests of our couutry, industrial, agricultural, and commercial de mand the establishment of that tauff policy declared and particular l.V detiued in the National .Democ ratic platforms of 1S7U, 1884 and and I am earnestly opposed to ibe iUtempt which is now being made in some quarters to uuder mine the sound aud conservative position of the Democratic party upon this question and to commit irrevocably to the doctrine of free trade. Tne men who are engaged in this effort no matter how honest or sincere they may be in their indi vidual convictions, have no right to linger masquerade as true Demo crats while seeking to commit the party to a policy which it lias al wd distinctly repudiated, and wdiici', if adopted, must inevitably in my judgment affect injuriously the welfare of the country and unfit the Democratic pany for the mains Ternii!' 4 of those wise principles of government of which if has for neatly a century been the proud and unyielding representative. "They greatly mistake the pub lie sentiment who assume to cons true the revolution last Autumn at the polls as a popular manifestation iu favor of radical tariff legislation. It was so far as the tariff was an is sue a popular outburst against the exc-sive duties, against, restricted markets, against war taxation for the h" fit cf favoud industries, but only blind theorists could sfe in it ar-v indication that the people are impa'ient of a'l tariff's and de sire to resort to direct taxation to secure necessary revenues for the support of the government, As a Democrat I must respectfully de cline to support any movement, no matter by whom instigated or championed, having for its purpose the adoption of auy such suicidal policy as is thought to be promoted by the meeting to which you have invited me. "In my opiniou such movemeuts only embarraaes aud endanger the cause of tariff reform. I remain very truly yours, David B. Hill." OOVVUXOKFOWLG HEAD. Death Coiine! Dy Heart Trouble. The Courier received the fol lowing telegram last Wednesday morning : April 8, 1890. Gov. Fowle died in Raleigh last night of heart trou ble. Death, of Secretary Sauntlerw. Col. Wm. L. Saunders, Secretary of SUte of North Carolina, died at tho Yarboro House, in this city, on the morning of the 3d inst. Col. Saurxlers had been an invalid for many years previous to his death; bat feeble health did not prevent him, until recently, from attending to his duties as Secretary of State. Col. Saunders was a gallant soldier in the war between the States, go iug iuto the army as a private soN dier and winuing the rauk of Colo nel by his bravery on the field and by his devotion to duty in camp and upon the march. Col. Saunders was for quite a number of years con nected with journalism in his native State, lie was a clear and vigorous writer. The Colonial records of North Carolina were prepared and published by Col. Saunders at the expense of great care and labor. Col. Saunders will be remembered in the future for his services to his State and to the cause of accurate history rendered in the difficult and delicate task of preparing and pub lishing these ancient records of the struggles aud triumphs of Saxon men to found and perpetuate a free State amidst the wilds of the west ern world. Progressive Farmer. Dunts Report of Trade. NEW York, April 1 IS. G. Dun & Go's weekly review of the trade days : The actual condition of busi ness does not improve, however hopeful the anticipation warranted. Unfavorable weather has prevailed over a wide area, affecting local trade and making couutry roads still more difficult. Labor troubles are becoming an importaut factor strikes having begun at niany lo calities in the building trades. The failures for the first quarter of 1891 have been 3545 in number against 3223 last year, and the lia bilities 42,167,031 against $37,852,. 9G8 in the United States, but more than the eut.re increase both in number of liabilities appears iu the Southern States alone. The eastern and middle States report fewer fail ures and smaller liabilities than last year, but the western States report) i i . t neariy as mucn increase. y Failures during the last seven days number for the United States 211, Canada 32, total 143, as com pared with a total of 23G last week and 275 the week previous to the last. For the corn spondiug week of last year the figures were 206, representing 189 failures in the United States aud 17 in Canada. Kill Aye linn Come. Edward W.

The- ifprris in circulation in re gard to Mr. Harry Martin are mis leading. He did not enter the White House at all, nor did the President fake any part in secur ing him. Mr. Martin was return ing Iroin a dinner party, and hav ing drank t.o much he, without kuowiug what he was doing, pulled out) of the shutters to the White House and broke out a pane of glass. No other damage was done, and the President has not interest ed himself in any prosecution of Mr. Martin, regarding the matter as the incident of a bojish frolic. This is all there is in the affair. A'. C. In--telligencer. The more serious charge was, at the request of Prosecutor Arms, dismissed, that officer upon invest tigation being convinced there was no intention on the part of the youug man to commit auy crime, and that his action was nothing more thau those of au insanely in toxicated man, aud it is safe to say no one regrets the disgrace brought upon himself aud his friends more thau he. It is understood the President himself investigated the whole matter, and is entirely satis fied with his conclusion. Upon the lesser charge, that of assaultiug au officer, $25 was left and forfeited as a fine. Washington Post. Air.

A snow storm commenced here late last uight and this morning twelve inch es of snow had fallen. The tele phone and telegraph services were prostrated, the wires being down and a number of poles brokeu. The street cars were unable to run until noon. A terrific storm is reported on Lake Champlain. At Chum hame there are two and a half feet of snow and it is drifting badly. It is the worst storm ot the season. The Supreme Decides That a Railroad Company is a Private Corpo ration. Iu the case of the town of Durham against the North Caroliua Railroad Company, receutly decided by the Supreme Court of this State, the principle is laid down, that a Rail road Company is a private corpora tion. There is more meaning iu this than will appear to a casual reader. It a Railroad Company is a private corporation, it has the same rights as any mercantile firm in this city, and the railroad com missioners will not have the consti tutional right to supervise its pri-i vate affairs, any more than it would have to supervise the books or reg ulate the prices of one of our city firms. The decision is one of very great importance, though iu a line with the decisions in similar causes aud is sustained by mauy adjudicate ed cases. We only direct attention to the decision aud throw out the above suggestion. It is an interest ing inquiry as to what becomes of the powers intended to be granted to the Railroad Commissioners. JV. G. Intelligencer. Letter From HiOwesville. Ed. Courier : We were iu at tendance oa Court last week and were very favorably impressed with Judge Merrimon for the kind aud cousiderate manner in which he in vestigateii every case that came before him for trial, however trivial He may not dispose of cases as fast as some Judges we have seen, but he certainly aims to give justice be tween mau and man- Two ot our most progressive fars nrers were drawn to serve on the Jury, and being somewhat behind with their work, they loaded their wagon with plowstocks and hoes when they started for court intend ing, as we suppose, to call by their fields ou their return.

For sixty-one years without in terruption a camp'tneeting has been held at the above named camp grouud. Thomas Thompson aud peibaj s some others have been present at all these meetings. The services tor the first few years were held under a bush arbor, theu a large frame arbor was constructed, main frame work of which in .s'iil j;ood, though it has worn out three covers. A subscription was raised at last c imp-meeting to re-cover the arbor. The trustees met a few days ago, aud decided to put a metal roof (steel) on it. The object of this communication is to request alt the subscribers to this fund to send iu their subscrip tionsat'once to F, W.' Howard, Denver, and also to solicite other contributions to this noble work. We ask this that you may honor your fathers who erected and wor shiped under this arbor, runny of whose characters still stand, as firm as these posts, on the ground work of good society. Their bodies sleep iu their graves, but their works follow them. As worthy sons of noble sires, let us protect by re covering this altar of our fathers. Some say the day of camp-meet ing is past. Why so 1 The Devil dou't think so, for he continues to rally his forces to in timidate those of weak faith, and if possible, ro destroy this recruiting field of tne army of tho Lord. He isjost as afraid of the children born here, as Pharoah was of those born of the childreu of Israel. He would strangle them iu their infan cy. He kuows from past experience, that giants have been boru there, and like Herod, he is afraid of his kingdom, and hence issues his or ders to his imps to slay all the chil dren, and they come with their "slaughter weapons" (whiskey bot t'es) in their hands. When the Devil ceases to disturb Camp-meetings you may kuow that their day is past. He does dot trouble hims self about "dead ducks" but it is the live ones that he is after. Any contribution handed either to A. Nixon or Sheriff J. B- Luckey will be sent to the treasurer. Please respond at once. Yours truly, R. S. W EBB. When it comes to talking ou the tariff, Ben Batterwortb, Republican, of Cincinnati, is quite level-headed. In a conversation recently, he said, "the clatter about those opposing a prohibitory tariff being free traders, is asinine. No Republican ever heard of such extreme tariff rates as those imposed by the McKmley bill as essential to our industries until within a few years." Wil. Star.

PUBLIC SAFETY DEMANDS That only lmnest and rellaMe medicines should be placed upon the marker. It can uut. therefore, be- stated too emphatically, ior related too often, that all who are in need of a genuine Blood -purifier should be sure aud ask for Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Yo;ir life, or tliat of some one near ami i?ar to rou, may depend ou the use of this well-approved remedy In prefer ence to any other preparation of similar name. It is compounded of Honduras sar saparilla (the variety most rich incurativo properties). stUiin'ia, mandrake, yellow dock, and the Iodides. The process of man ufacture Is original, skilful, scrupulously clean, and such as to secure the very ttest medicinal qualities of each ingredient. Thla medicine is not boiled nor heated, and Is, therefore, not a decoction ; but it is a com pound extract, obtaiued by a meUiod ex clusively our own, of the best and most powerful alteratives, tonics, and diuretics known to pharmacy. For the last forty years, Ayer's Sarsaparilla has been the standard blood-purifier of the world no otlu-r approaching it in popular confidence or universal demand. Its form ula is approved by rhe leading physicians and dnifrirists. lieing pure and highly con centrated, it is the most economical of any possible blood niedi. ine. Every purchaser ff Sarsaparilla should insist upon having this preparation and see that each bottle tv;;is the well-known name of j . U. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mass. In every quarter of the globe Ayer's Sar saparilla i? proved to be the best remedy for all diseases if the blood.
