Our neighbor, the Spirit of the South, in giving an , account of the speaking on the Academy lot when Judge Fowle) was here, has we hope unwiiungiyrraone great injustice io the Democrats. We happen, to know that the allegations are untrue.- There was iio injustice done to Mr. Pritchard : .The facts are these : , After Judge. Fowle had been speak ing at leas! twenty minutes some one sent to the stand a -request that Mr. P. have 3a division ,of time. In a hort while an answer was returned that he cquld get an hour after Judge F. concluded, and would be replied to for an hour, . Inasmuch as Judge Fowle spoke until five o'clock, and as it was raining, Mr. P. was inform- ed by the party who meant to reply that, under the circumstances, it was best that there be no more speaking, The party told him that it was less than an hour until sundown and he could hardly expect to get the last speech at a Democratic meeting. He was ioia inai ii ne wouia go to wat- son's Hall he could get a discussion, He declined to do so. Afterwards a considerable crowd went to Watson's Hall, and a mes sage was sent to Mr. P. by Harvey Quick AO come -up and he "should have an hour. .. Quick returned and reported that Mr. Pritchard declined. Thereupon the party who would have replied to him addressed the people who had assembled,' This is jthe whole of it, and any allegation $.0 the contrary is only false.

When he boldly declared that "your rights were no longer debatable" he gave a peace and conndence beiore un known. So, too, when" he forced Senator Ingalls' and other negro- hating .republicans to confirm Mr. Trotter ho made a dead shot . He is, in fact, a borntuler, and I think safe and hopeful, when contemplat ing the cool: and . calm conndence and courage with which be grasps the vast and varied interests of this mighty country. 'Let well enough SENATOB VANCE'S SPEECH. The speaker stated. three proposi tions; under which he .proposed to discuss the tariff question. His first was that a man's money belongs to him, to do with it as he pleases ; that a dollar earned was absolutely. his, and no man has a right to its possession except as the earner of it sees fit to allow that right But as the second proposition, the speaker said the government claimed and had a right to a share in that dollar just so far as was necessary in the administration of government, and no farther. And as the third propo- sition. recoenizine that Deonle must be taxed in support of government, the speaker enforced the idea of a hust and fair distribution of the bur- den as it rested on the oeoDle. con- tending that the strong should bear the heavier whil thm Mb- should earrv the lio-ht-r nri nf that burden. He illustrated the latter ' J wv w MM point by a simple picture drawn from a recent experience of his in opening up his mountain farm : He had employed a skilled axeman to fell his large timber and he noticed, when reporting for duty, the man brought along his little son whom he asked to engage for the work with him at half nrice. The bov. with his lighter axe. was riven the lioht j , urn ta t K a e ker drew the inference as to the duty of the Government in the dis- tnkntinn nf tko Kn)An r whereas, as a matter of fact, the r- verse rule is the nolicv in nrt den falling heavier unon the weak bill, passed recently bv the United States Senate, showincr its lit tor in. : J " O - - m wmm . people that while under it a reduc- tion of revenue to the Government might follow, it did not lighten the taxes from the people because of the jact Us unjust and heartless dis- rriminatinn Tho enMlrnii nrxtAA the wicked scheme of discrimination as contemplated by the substitute bill, favoring still the manufacturers I tUa tSnrth 4t ... rings, to the great detriment of the people at large. In other words he showed unanswerably how such lee- islation was intended to be, and in enect would be, m the interest of classes instead of to the advantage of the masses. He. took up the pres ent tariff schedule rates and showed how the rich were protected in the purchase of the commodities of life while the poor were being ground to powder. The average duty on the i fw pvwo, uwauiu, a per I cent while the rich man's gold and silver ware is charged 25 ; cotton goods 40, furs used only by the rich 20 ; woollen goods so neces- nr .t ,' " sary o, siik a luxury Vo: a poor woman's shawl 87, the rich wo man's India shawl 50; horse shoe nails for the farmer 74 1 fiddle I strings free ; the Bible of the poor man costs him 25 per cent tax, but K. 0t,; r .u. j j the fashion plate of the dude comes f m freeoftox; the common window I K'438 i the poor man's cottage costs s3 in the 1UU, tax, whilv the pol ished glass in the rich man's parlor comes to him at a cost of only $15 in the $100 ; flax and jute bagging pays a tax of 50 percent and cotton ties 35 per cent, while tropical fruits for the rich man's table comes here free of ( any lax ; salt an absolute iieceBsiiy pays , a lax oi W4 ; per cent while various luxuries pur chasable only by the rich pay no tax and so on through the - entire catalogue of iniquities. A significant example about wool hats taxed 75 per cent was given by the "speaker, wuicn proves now tne American manufacturer gouges the people un- Xb der the protection given -him by bis being enabled to put high prices on his hats, since .the 75 per cent tariff will not allow foreign-made hats to come to this-country, j? or ; prooi he cited 'the fact that in the year 1887 enly two got into this country from abroad, on which the tariff tax was collected, amounting to S4 cents. During the same period twelve hun dred thousand dozen were made in the United States and sold at figures such as the 75 per cent on' the . foreign-made - hat - would enable the American manufacturer to charge showing what a harvest the home manufacturer reaped, at the expense of his : own kindred and people. while the government coffers were re plenished; to the extent of 84 cents under the prohibitory, tariff tax of 75 per cent he flimsy , plea m&de to the laboring man by, the opposite party was crushed to death by the able speaker ;, who showed conclu sively on':i which side ' of- the great question the interests of labor stand. He showed that high tariffs da not produce higher wages, and instanced Russia, Germany and others highly protected countries where the wages of labor are vastly lower than in England. He proved the average cost of labor in the production of an article to be 21 per cent, while the average tariff tax on the same is 47 per cent now what becomes of the difference of26? It goes into the pock et of the American manufacturer, $5.00 to where $1.00 goes to the pub lic treasury. For illustration a ton of pig iron costs in labor $2.46 j the tariff on a ton of the . same, brought from abroad, is $6.72 and, therefore, is prevented from coming to this coun try. The difference of $4.26 the American manufacturer is enabled to put in his own pocket To show further, and in brief, the inequality and crying injustice of the system of taxation which the Democratic party is seeking to reform, the emi nent speaker reverted to the fact that less than one million of the American people were engaged in protected callings as guaranteed by this present tariff while eight millions were on farms and seven millions otherwise employed, who get the benefit of no protection, but 'on the contrary quite the reverse." Could a greater argument in favor of tariff reform be framed than was the statement of this one fact? Vanca and Steele at Lanrinbnrg. Frobably two thousand of the Democratic yeomanry from this and adjoining counties assembled last Monday, 22nd, to look into the hon est face and grasp the warm band of Our Zeb," and to hear from his lips the sober truth alout the ' whole question of taxation and to learn of him so capable of imparting such ; a. a? instruction tne dunes now press- ingly incumbent on all the people of this land. Col. Steele went down as one of the people, equal with all of them in his admiration for the incomparable Vance, and to lend his aid in consummating the ovation which' Richmond desired to make to North Curplina'a favorite son. About the speech-making, even Vance could not give the people enough, for, tho' consuming all of the late afternoon their appetites were bnt whetted with keener relish for the speech which they had assessed upon Col Steele for the night hour. If Vance did not disappoint publio expecta tion, neither did Steele. Never had we seen and we say it considerate ly a crowd quite so orderly, nor did we ever see people more eager for the engrafted word oi Democrat ic truth nor more appreciative and we compliment many colored people in this of the rare opportunity af forded of acquiring political infor mation. It was a Democratic day prolific in favorable signs and indic ativif the eventual triumph of the Democratic cause. 'The procession of mounted men, headed by the Pee Dee Band, made a fine display. The torchlighters at night illumined the heavens and' marched around the town, while the little cannon, "Zeb Vance," poured out its thundering greetings oi welcome lo the Demo cralic hosts. Amid sucn scenes, dis playing Laurinburg patriotism at its best, we wonder not that Senator Vance remarked to a friend,1 "This is the biggest place for its size I ever saw.' Her people will not soon for get "the day that Vance spoke." ; rhe . ftewsrk charter election showing a Democratic maioritv 700 and a Democratic gain"bf 2,000. wouia seem to prove pretty conclu sively that "tariff scare" n isn't work mg this year. A bugaboo which has been found out is a very harmless campaign spook. New York World Eaager of Eaco Conflicts in the South. This total want of possible assim ilation, thisV social estrangement, causes this attitude of antipathy or quasi hostility between the two races, North as well as South, the only difference - being that in the latter section, . because : ,tbe , .negroes are more numerous, the . manifestations of this suppressed antagonism are unavoidably more frequent, and are characterized by more intensity and more serious results! because both races, whatever be the provocation; regard them as the incidents of a struggle for supremacy and domina- ion. They may enjoy long, perioas of calm and peace, but some sodden unforseen ;! incident; apolitical, relig ious, educational, social; or , what not, may at any moment arousCi6 passions ot - race hatred, and cdn vulse society by the outbreak t of race - conflicts. t For New-: England preachers, ! sentimental1 writerej- or Republican politicians to express horror and surprise at these occur rences, is only a! profane protest on their part against the logical results of the work Of Gkd, and an insolent demand for a revision of the laws of nature. The real cause for amaze ment is, considering the aggravating conditions " surrounding Southern society, and the' inflammable mate rial upon which - its superstructure now rests, that these conflicts have not been in our country more fre quent and more bloody. Senator Enstis in the Forum. Another Democatic Rscrait From the Charlotte Chronicle. Mr. S. J. Brown is what may be called the bell-wether Republican of Iredell. He is a progressive far mer and a wide. awaV.e citizen. For years be has been a staunch Repub lican. Like thousands of other Re publicans, however, all over this land, he is going to vote for Grover Cleveland. Mr. Brown is not a dis appointed office-seeker, but he is a broad-miuded ! patriot who prefers tke peace and prosperity of the far mers to the building of colossal for tunes for the few favored manu facturers and coal barons who have been fostered under Radical rule to the detriment of the agricultural in terests; and he has seen how peace and prosperity have been maintain ed under Democratic rule, which is the full explanation of the following letter: Editor of the Chronicle: I wish to say to my friends in Iredell county, where I still reside and ex pect to vote, that I agree with Gen. Barringer in his ideas of national politics. I shall vote for Cleveland for President and for Henderson for Congress. I favor a change in many of our State laws, but see no chance to get them until the oolor line is broken. I shall vote the Republi can State and county tickets. Yours, etc., S. J. Brown. Oct. 20th, 1888. A cotton spinner in this country works up 4350 pounds a vear: in England, 2914; in Germany, 1200. The wool operative in this conntrv works up 1640 pounds a year ; in England, 1275; in Germany, 975. Does the highly protected American manufacturer, with double : the foreign profits, pay his workman more for what he produces than he is paid abroad? This is the question that h$ persistently dodges. His friend Blaine is, however, on record as saying that he does not in the in dustries above cited. Boston Globe. .
