T MONROE JOmNAL, VOLUME XV. NO. 32 MONROE, N.C., TUESDAY OCTOBER G. 100S. One Dollar a Year Kitchin Makes Fatal Contrast. la Great 5peech In Rotmon Coun ty He Compares th Two Pnrtlej and Showi What Each Mas Stood For Union County Man rUMer of Ore monks. Chairman LmuiuooI in trying to retire Mr. Kitchiu, lK-iuiKTulic rantlidate for liovernur, to make a peerh in Monroe, but hi time i already no engaged that he may uot be able to come. He was in Kol- j on last week, and the Neva and Observe r give the following report of hia speech: The axeenibly was railed to order by Hon. Stephen Mrlotyre, and an earnest inToration was givrn by the Kot. Mr. Hoyle, and Mr. Mc Intyre introduced the speaker ax one of the Mate's greater soiim, equal in every respect to Vance, Ay cork and Glenn. "Kobetwn county furnixhed the greatest denioustration of any coun ty in the Bute in ".IS," said Mr. Mclntyre, "and I believe in this occasion it has done the same thing for this campaigu." Hearing the Hon. V. V. Kit.ta in in his uianlerly cotitraHt of leni ocracy and Kepublicanixni, and tHitiug the great moving poacr of his appeal aud the cane with which lie catches the confidence and holds it with bis plain speech while he thoroughly dissects the iwnes of the campaign, aud remembering his marvelous couqucHts aud victo ries, the fact naturally suggests it self that the times have produced another great leader of men in North Carolina. Maintaing its fidel ity to the people, aud producing such leaders from among them, the Democratio party or the Htate proves that it has within itself the savor of life, and that it needs no prod from North Carolina Hadical Lm to maintain the fidelity of its trust Large majorities are but additional bequests of power to be used for the futheranceof the com mon good. "Today there are no factional fights within the Democratic party in North Carolina," began Mr. Kitchin, who has j nut completed his tonr of the west, where he found the party in fine spirit, and goner ally expecting increased majorities. "There is no longer any difference lietween Democrats as to their duty in this campaign, and I have the faith to believe that every Demo crat in the county will give me as laitnrui support as tney wouiu nave given to either of my distinguished opponents." Giving a brief portrayal of the ruin brought by Republican gov ernment in North Carolina ten years ago, be asked, "Should this party be again returned to jiower, at least without making confession of its guilt and bringing forth fruits of repentancet'' He made an earnest appeal to the Republicans to hear him open ly, and to lend themselves to a can did consideration of the Iwtues. Goveromeut w ill be a failure un leiM the electorate gives t'xpresxion to its matured judgmeut in its bal lots. You are honest in being a Kcpublican, are you? Well, boii ety dou't make right; not even conscience makes right Millions waut any part in iudueiu-iiig poli cies uf political wtrtie, you must leave tb llcputilu-au and rotue to the Democratic party. The queHtiou ol prohibition should not be allowed to enter Ibis campaign.

Iu gersoll was proltal.ty holiext, but not right After every exertion to be right we may then be mistaken. So that theMe iieHlions demand our best atteution aud study as to what ts right Firxt, he laid down the proposi tion that the Itepublirau party is not worthy of their support liecause it allows them practically no voice in the control and management of the party. The Republican people do uot control the Republican par ty. Did the people of the Repub lican party nominate TaftT Taft had never leen nominated for or elected to auy cilice. All of his high ponitioiis bad come from his looking up to the President to get them. If you want a mail to serve the people you must get a man w ho f!cls grateful to the people. ICoose velt picked out Taft. Not being it to the people ticrauxe their a ers and the whiskey jx-ople de manded it be submitted to theieo pie instead of being acted upon by the legislature.

Aud yet the Republicans have so suc cessfully fooled the tieople on this question that they have carried the lat three national elections on it. Hut after having done this and of fered their party as a guarantee against bard times, we have till yet hearing down upon us the severest panic of all of them, and this start ed under a Republican administra tion, with the bursting of a Re publican bank, 011 a Republican street, in a Republican city aud a of the Republican party (not the; Republican State, and you can't MHiple) hits risen to the second . get away from it You said you highest Misition in the government, 'could prevent panics aud if you Why, all the Federal office holders could not, you are hypocrites, and were just notified from Washington j if you could and did not, you were that iiulcss they supported Taft ("T.

And that kind of tactics is so thoroughly understood and accepted that not even a ballot was taken, either for Governor or for any of the other positions on the ticket except treasurer. The same thing applies to district and county nominations, where a few of the leaders get together and fix it np. It's so easy to be just an average Republican. You have nothing whatever to do with it It were better even if the people should blunder some times and cruel, and in cither event should 13 driven from power. The panic was even worse in Republican States North than in Ieuiocratic States South. Free bread lines are now longer and soup bouses iu lar ger uumlier than ever before, with three million American workmen out of employment On the tariff argument he was Every man ought to understand how he pays his taxes. Each one of you pay eight times as much tax to the Federal government as he pays to the sheriff. There is no way of putting protect iou in one man's pocket without taking it out of another man's pocket. Clay and Webster, who believed in a very moderate tariff in their day, put it upon the basis that competition among home manufacturers would prevent oppression of the people under it They did not have the have their way alsint it and if you trusts then to eliminate entirely part of the lieuctit of this protec Hon. Wages are higher in free trade Australia than here; higher in. free trade Knglaud than any oth er country of Europe. Take a sugar aud a cotton plantation side by side. Will the owuer of the sugar farm pay his luUir more lo calise he is protected than the cot ton fai iner lsside of him pays! One man has a ten thousand dollar in come from a protected business, his neighbor side of him the same from un unprotected business. Will the protected man pay more for his lalsir, or for a load of wimmI than his netghlsii? No, sir, be justs the profits of his protection in his own pocket, except what he con tributes to the campaign fund to keep the Republicans in power to keep up his right to tux the tsople. Just lure Mr. Kitchiu laid down 1 lie general proposition that wages are controlled by the profitableness 1 .. v. I Olllli ius -111 former rules were too luli and should have U-eii reduced.

We would not destroy the factories. The factories existed U-fore the monopolies. We say enforce the law n;;.tin.-t them and drive them into the dis-olutioti of their monop olies.

You may regulate theiu u much as you please, but unless you fix the price for them you lcac thorn all the Mwer they want to rob the people. You cannot imprison a corporation or punish them by line.

The only way to destroy them is to try, convict aud imprison a few of the heads of these great trust.
