' .V Co.. Poilla.id, . ,i',t; WOBIIM Internal Revenne in the House. Mr. Johnston, of North Caroli na: ; I wish to offer an amendment to the amendment of the gentle man from Virginia. The chairman: It is first in or der to read the amendment of the gentlenan from North Caroliua. The Clerk read as follows: After the word"cigaretts" insert "and all internal taxes on spirits distilled from grain or fruit of any kind." The Chairman: The gentleman from North Caroliua (Mr. John stou)is entitled to five minutes on his amendment. Mr. Johnston of North Carolina: Mr. Chairman, the effect of this amendmhut which I have offered to the amendmeut of the gentle man from Virginia will be to ex tend the repeal of the internal revenue law beyond the tobacco tax and to include the tax on whiskey aud brandy. I offer this proposition for the purpose of wiping from the Statute book the law which imposes internal reve nue tax on all spirits distilled from grain or fruit. I have heard a great deal said on this floor about "free whiskey" and "free brandy," and recently the representatives of the Republican party assembled in Chicago pretended to be in favor of the repeal of the internal reve nue law. 1 desire to see the Re publicans, as well as Democrats, vot upou this question here today. AVhat I desire is not only free whiskey and free brandy, but I wish more to see my people freed from the oppressions of a system spoken of by my friend from Vir ginia which imposes upon them almost a military surveillance. Geutlemeu who live in the moun tain seetions of this country: know that we are constantly subjected to the most annoying kind of irri. tations in the execution of this law. It is a law which was put upon the Statute book during a period of w.ir, and its fraraershad no regard apparently to the effect it might have upon the civil liber ties of the people; they relied upon the patriotism of the country to submit to such a system during the continuance of a great war, and that reliance was well met. At that time the oppressiv featur es attending the execution of the law were less thought of than the object of raising revenue. But we have long since reached a time of peace, and all parties declare in favor of taking from the Statute book every thing partaking of war legislation. Now if there is anything which is essentially a war measure, this system of internal revenue taxa tion is one, and I desire to see it wiped from the statute book, be cause I wish to see my people re lieved from the exactions and op pressions imposed upon them in connection with the enforcement of this taxation during the last twenty-five years. Just think of it, Mr. Chairman. A federal court organized by the government, with all the dig nity which a Federal cou. jht to have, sitting in judgment on a poor man charged with selling a nait pint oi liquor, ana arasrgins: him perhaps two or three hund red miles from his helpless family for the purpose of trying him for such frivolous ofienses. Why, sir, such a thing reflects shame upon the iurisdiction of the courts of the United States, and detracts from the high standing they should have among the people. Proceedings of that kiud would better become the jurisdiction of a justice of the peace. Mr. Keer; If this side of the House wiJ 1 vote with you to re peal the internal taxatiou,will you vote the Republican ticket Laugh ter. Mr. Johnston, of North Caroli na: I hope 'my friend from Iowa Mr. Keer will "ask me some- thing hard.' I want Kepublicaus - "V . A M ' . espionage and harsh treatment which is obnoxious to all ideas of free government. It has done more to engender bad feelings in communities, to encourage false swearing, to sap the very spirit of manhood from our people,to teach them to regard the government as oppressive toward the citizens thau all other laws. Let us el iminate from the statute-book of this great country every vestige of the unfortunate strife we have passed through, so that "peace aud good will" shall prevail through its entire length and breadth. . , Why, sir, so far as concerns the section of the country from which I come, many of the citizens there scarcely this government, except by the exactions visited upon them under this law. They know the government only through the army of officers sent, as my friend from Virginia has said, with car bines and cartridge-boxes for the purpose of arresting them. I want to see this country, especial ly my section of it, governed through .sqiu other means. Here the hammer fell. Mr. HcMillin: Mr. Chairman, the gentleman of North Corolina Mr. Johnston advocates the re peal of the whisky tax as well as other internal taxes. The internal revenue system, if I remember correctly, yielded last year $118,000,000, aud it is esti mated that it will yield this year 29,000,000. The entire surplus does not amount to $70,000,000 per annum. So that if we were to embark upon a total repeal of internal revenue system, as pro posed by the gentleinau from North Caroliua, we would have facing us at the threshold a defi ciency of 50,000,000 per annum. So that there can only be a re duction of internal revenue taxes if anything,, and not a total re peal of the system. Now, I would be glad if gentle men who propose a total repeal of the internal revenue system of taxation would say upon what they propose to place the addi tional tax. Mr. Johnston, of North Caroli na: If my amendmeut be adopt ed, I shall propose to put a tax upon the incomes of the country, and have an amendment prepared for that purpos. The questibn recurred on the amendment of Mr. Johnston, of North Cnrolina, to the amend ment. Mr. Johnston, of North Caroli na: I demand a division on the amendment on the amendment. The committee dividedj and there were ayes 56, and noes 135. Mr. Johnston of North Caroli na: Mr. Chairman, what was the vote? The Chairman. Twenty-seven ayes, 136 noes. Laughter.) Mr. Johnston, of North Caroli na: Is that all! What has be come of the Republican party that they fail to vote for this amendment, when they claim to be pledged to do it! Great laugh ter and applause Mr. Nichols: What has become of the amendment! The Chairman: The question will be put in regular order. Sulphur is the remedy used for the mildew in California vineyards with great succes. A man who feeds correctly and :4.n:fl., :n r, m j. ana uemocrais to unite nere in repealing this obnoxious law. I want to blot it out because it has done so much to excite the ani mosities of the people all through the country, and has been the in strument of more suffering to those who are least able to bear it than any other statute I know of. Besides it fosters a system of lutcmgcunj vvmsavuuoui xu iu tiree years. Washington was a 20 per cent over a man "who fol- j Federalist and Monroe a Jellerso lows only a haphazard uicthot. J niau Democrat. Notes of the Campaign. Special Correspondence. New York, July 23. From two browustone build ings in the heart of this city and almost within calling distance of each other the captains of the two great political armies will give out the orders which are to shape the course of the campaign. The Republican commander-in-chief, vested with autocratic and al most absolute powers, is Senator, Matt Quay of Pennsylvania. Bright, shrewd, tricky, a valuable politician and successful wire-puller, there is no man in the Repub lican party, perhaps, better quali fied than he for the work in hand. Conspicuobs among his trusted lieutenants, will be John C. New of Indiana (the "soap" dispenser in the llaodcock campaign), Sam Fessenden, of Connecticut, one of the sharpest of Yankee politiciansj Clarkson, of Iowa, and Fassett, of New York, a parasite of Boss Plat. That the, Republicans have put their best workers forward, there can be no doubt. No less eminently qualified are the men who will put their heads together around the Democratic council table. There is Chairman Barnum of the National Commit tee, cool, calculating silent but thoughtful. No living man per haps, is more conversant with the details of campaign work than he. Then there is Senator Gorman of Maryland, who aid the lion's share of the work four years ago. But the coming Napoleon of the campaign, perhaps, is Congress man William S. Scott, of Penn sylvania. Brave as a lion, yet ev er cautious, a brilliant strategist an d a dashing leader, bis master hand will surely leave its impress on the campaign. Thus officered, the battle will be decided nearly upon the merits of the nature of such contests. There will probably be no "Long" Jones es, no Burchards and no Vander bilt Delmonico dinners. But the Democracy is powerful enough to win upon its worth, and here at headquartes the outlook is for a sweeping triumph. It is said that Boss Piatt has carried his point with the Nation al Committee, and that the Mor ton "bar'l" will be consiaerably lighter, when it is rolled over the Jersey border. New York shout- ers come high but the Republi cans must have 'em. The Democratic Party. From the Elizabeth Economist. It is not well for the Democrat ic party to cherish with too much confidence the idea of being under a special governmental providence because of the fact of its having had a longer tenure of power than any political party that has exist ed in this coutry since the founda tion of the government. Its extra ordinary vitality is more remark able than the duration of its ten ure. It has had more stubborn and strenuous and able opposition than any party that has existed under the government, but it has survived them all. It was swept from power in 1840 by the most overwhelming political storms of which the history of the parties furnishes any parallel, but in less than a year it revived and swept the country. It has survived rev. olutions and civil strife, with the passions and prejudices of men and warriors arrayed against it, and yet it has triumphed in the end and is perhaps to-day strong er than ever before, with every prospect of continued power. The Democratic party dates from the first election of Jefferson to the Presidency in 1800. Be tween that period and 1860 the Democrats were in power forty eight years and the Whigs twelve. Since 1800 the Kepublicans have been in power twenty-four years aud the Democrats a little over ilJ Republican Prohibition. From the State Chronicle. But the Prohibition paragraph in the Judge Russell's letter will be good reading for Prohibition Democrats. The Judge sajs: "I think it would be wise for our State ticket to withdraw in favor of the Prohibition ticket. In 1881 our vote was thrown to save the grogshops. You saved them but just what the party gained has been so difficult to discover that the best thinkers among our leaders, now admit their mistake and regret that the party vote was not given to the temperance people. Suppose we try it now and go into a strike at drunken ness and Democracy!" This is refreshing. We didn't gain power by "throwing our vote to save the grogshops." No it wa3 too thin a device. Now let's "strike at drunkenness and Democracy." We may gain something by that. We don't care a continental about temperance; in fact, the rank and file of us object to it, but no mat ter, we must do something. Last time we threw our votes to the grogshops and the party gained nothing. Let's turn about now and throw to the temperance people and see what we gain. Turn and turn about is fair play. Wouldn't this Coalition anti-Prohibition party, with its record of crime, make a pretty Prohibition party? The Republican party as a moral ity organization and masquerad ing as a temperance party in North Carolina would be a sight for men and angels. The Joint Canvass. On Saturday Col. Dockery caused Judge Fowle to be notified that he would be at Raloigh on Monday to make joint appoint ments. Judge Fowle abandoned his ppointment at Charlotte and came back to meet him. On Mon day morning Judge Fowle wrote asking a meeting at 10 o'clock, and at the meeting the following agreement was entered into: Raleigh, July 23. At a conference held at the Yarborough House, it is agreed between O. H. Dockery and Daniel G. Fowle that they each shall fill his appointments heretofore made and published to and includiug the 21tti of August prox, each, being at liberty to be present for a joint discussion on equal terms at any appointments made by the other, and that a list of joint ap pointments shall be made for them after the 54th prox., by mutual friends selected by them, to wit, T. R. Purnell and R. H. Battle, Esqrs., such list to be published by the 10th of August. . Dan'l G. Fowle, , O. H. Dockery. Farm Notes. Feed the plant and the plant will feed you.
