OXFORD, N. 0., JAN. 26, 1894 la political exigencies the work man is very dear to the monopolist. He tries to make him cheap enough at other times. A Democrat from Connecticut made a Republican speech in the House. There is no difference be tween New England Democrats and Republicans any how. The only proper answer to "where does the farmer come in ?" under machine politics is that he does'nt get in. He's generally out, and his interest is not considered in the deal. The small-bore machine politician promises to be on deck again this year. What the country needs is a few candidates who are willing to suffer defeat rather than sacrifice principle. The monopolist merely believe in such competition as gives him the highest award. This is what he 'alls a fair deal. He is always willing to just pay the farmer just cost of production. Before the farmers ever have full protection in this country they will have to come together and vote down machine politics along with treacherous demagogues they nomi nate for office. The Democrats in the Senate who failed to blow the horn of confirma tion were Bate, Berry, Call, Coke, Daniel, Gibson, Gorman, Hill, Irby, Jones, of Arkansas, Murphy, Pugh and Vest. Hence Hornblower will not blow his bugle on the Supreme Court bench. The vote by which the proposi tion to extend the time to some fu ture date, when the free wool sched ule should go into effect, was de feated discloses the fact there are quite a large number of Republican Congressmen who favor free wool, and what is more they want it at once. Con gressman Oates, of Alabama, wants the Constitution of United States amended so as to make the term of the President six years and make him ineligible for re-election. He would likewise have the term of a Congressman extended to three years and would limit the term of Justices of the United States Su preme Court to ten years. The prospects for the passage of the Wilson tariff reform measure grow brighter each day, and as the prospects loom up in this respect so do the prospects in business and in dustrial institutions grow brighter each day. From all sections of the country come announcements of resumption of works, either on part or full time, and those who were forced into idleness through the workings of the KcKinley tariff are being given employment. Why is Taramanj like a circus ? Because it has 4-paws. If McKinley is the Napoleon of protection, Tom Johnson, of Ohio, is the Custer of the tariff reformers, and the way he carried on the last onslaught in Congress proves he is a man of nerve and coming fame. Since the Wilson bill excitement the Johnson episode has been the only ripple in the dead surfeit of Hawaiian affairs, and one hails as a genius one who has rescued present political life from its calm. Dm'tquit the Democratic ar y because your representatives mis represent you, but turn them down and put good, pure men in their place. Men who are not the tools of combines and combinations. The Democratic party will not be aban doned by the people because the men whom they elected have failed to discharge the high duties with which they were charged says the Salisbury Truth. They will throw overboard the incompetents this summer and select new pilots. Men are nothing; principles are every thing. Democratic principles and Democratic government must be maintained at any cost. Let moun tebanks and pickwickian statesmen step down and out. New blood, Democratic blood, to the front. WILL INJURE FARMERS IN TWO STATES. It will be bad for Virginia and North Carolina if Congress agrees to the $1.50 tax"on cigarettes, and it is hoped and believed that our repre sentatives will do all in their power to defeat this item says the Rich mond State. If the tobacco wrapped cigarettes is only taxed 75 cents a thousand, and the paper wrapped cigarettes is taxed $1.50, the discrimination against our section would be pro nounced and outrageously unjust to our farmers. Northern tobacco growers would reap the advantage ; for the stock used in manufacturing the tobacco wrapped goods is grown in Northern State, and not in North Carolina and Virginia. It would be like saying to the Southern trade you must pay 50 cents a pound on your article, and the Northern pro duct will be required so pay only 25 cents a pound. The present cigarette tax of fifty cents a thousand is moderate, and no one ever complained of that. It enables our tobacco growers to get a good price for their product, and the manufacturers to pay good wages to their employees; but if a tax of $1.50 is levied, the manufacturers will, of course, have to buy their tobacco for less money and get their work done for less money. If they do not practice wholesale economy in the manufacture of the goods, the little cigarette packages could not be sold for five cents, unless they cut down the price paid for cutters which the American Tobacco Com pany will be sure to do as they reign monarch of each tobacco centre, and buyers are virtually subject to the agents on each markets,, and the poor farmer will be sure to get less for cutters. Should the manufac turers advance the price to ten cents per package the sale would stop. Tobacco is our staple and its con sumption comes under the head more of necessity than luxury. We are outside of the pale of the "Mutual admiration benefit Society1' and will boldly say it is not Democracy to discriminate, and the discrimination if insisted on will lose the party many votes. JERRY'S OBJECT LESSON. Jerry Simpson, the pride of our Populists friends, took Congress by storm the other day when in his speech favoring the Wilson tariff reform measure he produced, as an object lesson of the benefit the far mer derives from the McKinley pro tection idea, a coat purchased from a farmer who had come to Wash ington to dispose of the products of his farm. "I walked along the Cen tre Market yesterday," said Mr. Simpson, "and averaged the crowd of farmers. I found an average man of that class and made a bar gain with him for the overcoat. Mr. Burrows' gave an object lesson in manufactured goods, and I am now prepared with an object lesson in shoddy goods." Then, to show the high tariff advocates exactly what the poor people of the country do wear, he pulled from under his desk and held up a well worn shoddy overcoat, which was a mixture of colors, from faded black to light brown, and said: "One year ago the farmer who brings his produce 20 miles before day to this market of the national capital bought this coat for $8.50. I bought him another coat for $10.86 and he gave me this. Look at the flimsy shoddy rag." To better illustrate the texture of the material from which the gar ment had been made he grabbed the coat and ripped it from tail to collar and tore it cross ways and sideways until there was nothing left of it but a heap of shoddy rags. This, continuing Mr. Simpson, is the re sult of McKinley protection and such is the texture of the goods worn today by at least one million farmers and laboring men. In reply to a question from Mr. Cannon, of Illinois, as to whether the coat was manufactured in this country or abroad, Mr. Simpson said: "I have no better means of ascertaining that fact than the far mer who originally bought it as 'all wool and a yard wide goods." I say that under the system of protection an American farmer wore this rag and risked his life and health in the chilling December and January blasts with that protective covering while he brought beets, carrots and potatoes to sell in the national capi tal." Mr. Simpson further said that while he intended to vote for the Wilson bill he did not think that it went far enough in the reduction of duties on many of the essentials of the poor man's household.
