A Philadelphia special to the !New York Times says: The Denl ocracy of Philadelphia and the surrounding county is making a bold fight on the lines laid down by the President's message and the Mills bill, and the results al ready apparent show that the par ty has nothing to fear in such ,aj course if the issue is plainly put before the people. Among the 80,000 Democrats of Philadelphia, some of whom, it would naturally be expected, would be influenced by the policy of Randall, not ; a single defection is reported. In deed, a number of converts have been made from among the Re publican textile workers, and the indications are that President Cleveland's vote will be consider ably larger than it was four years ago. This unbroken Democratic front may be almost entirely attributed to the fact that the voters are gaining a better iusight into the tariff question, and that the ab surdity of the Republican cry of free trade has been clearly shown to them. Tariff reform clubs are being formed throughout the city and it is a significant fact that in the mill districts a considerable number of Republicans have be come members. In the counties lying about Philadelphia the Democrats have bodily thrown down challenges to the Republicans to debate the tar iff question with thein before the people, and the Republicans show considerable reluctance in meet ing the issue. Protect Who? " The protectionists are now ar- giung that a reduction of th -tar ill' taxes will not berefit the poor. Of course, they know better than that. Take two articles, for mstauce, from which the tax has been removed within the last few years, namely, quinine and match es. The tax on quinine was a tar iff tax, and that on matches an in ternal revenue tax. When it was proposed to remove the tariff on quinine, the American manu facturers of that article said that they would be ruined, and that the pauper labor of Germany would make all the quinine need ed in this country. The tariff was removed, and what was the re sult? There are fifteen manufac tories now, and there were only three when quinine was protected. The three had a monopoly and employed a limited number of op eratives. They fixed a price to suit themselves. .Now the price of quinine is far lower than it wras, more people are employed in manufacturing it, and the facto ries are all prosperous. When the tax was on matches a few facto ries had a monopoly of the match trade, and they kicked against the removal of the tax. The tax was only a con t a box but a box of matches commanded five cents. Three of such boxes are now sold for that sum. In the face of facts like these it is strange that the protectionists insist that poor men are not benefited by a reduction of the tariff. W. C. Newland, Esq., nomina ted for the House in Caldwell, is one of the best furnished and most talented young lawyers in .this section of the State. His nom ination is a great compliment to him, considering his well known and popular competitors. UniveutPty of jSIobtii Caro- UNA. ; Tne next session begins Aug. 30.

C. , The Republican Tariff Bill. A gentleman who has been con. suited by the Senate finance sub committee as to the Republican tariff bill says this of it: It - will be a protective bill. It "will seem to reduce the revenues $60,000,000. The average reduced rate on the dutiable list is computed at 42 per cent,but the reductions are so distributed as to make the bill thoroughly protective. It abol ishes the internal taxes on tobac co, removes the tax on alcohol used in the arts,manufactures and medicines, but does not touch the tai on tfie whisky and beerj cor rects fthe decision that worsteds are not woolens, prevents the en try of frozen fijsh as fresh fish for immediate consumption, lowers duties on a few articles that are not produced in this country in considerable quantities, and rais es duties as to many articles. The sugar duty is reduced to 4 j per cent. Wool, farm produce, lum ber, and all other articles that can be pro'duced in this country which are on the free list in the MIJls bill are transferred to the dutiable list. The free list will not be large, and will contain chiefly articles that are not made or pro duced here. A Michigan Straw. From the Chicago Times. Senator Palmer of Michigan de clines to stand for re-election. Michigan is one of the States in which a political change may be looked for this fall. It is a State which all the local; organs declared could not be ' carried for the Re publicans unless Alger were the uominee, and while they will now protest that they did not mean wha"Cieythen declared, the fact remainsthat between Prohibition ists and Laborites, Greenbackers and the regular Democacy there is a decided upheaval in a State once regarded as under all possi ble circumstances securely Re publican. Within the year Sena tor Palmer was so convinced of the strength of the Prohibition movement that he gave out pub licly the opinion that the Republi cans ought to formally adopt the prohibition principle. The advice wa3 not accepted. Palmer's re fusal to be considered as a candi date for re-election may be accept ed as significant of the unsettled prospect in Michigan. Blaine" to the Front. From the New York Star. One of the m ost remarkable,and at the same time most amusing ep isodes of the campaign which is yet in its infancy is the tremen dous stir the Republicans are rais ing over Blaine. One would real ly think that ho, and not Harri son, was the presidential candi date. It must vex the soul of the grandson of. his grandfather to be so belittled and cast into the shade by a rejected statesman, who has failed in several successive con ventions to secure the prize that fell to Harrison at Chicago. It is quite clear, however, to the whole country that the Blaine furors has been created to cover up the pitiful failure to excite anything like enthusiasm for Harrison. The combination of a corporation lawyer and a millionaire monopo list has wholly failed to awaken a single responsive echo from the g. o. p., and the Blaine reception is hailed as a welcome opportunity to cover up the disappointment. Col. W. H. H. Cowles has of fered to present a handsome ban ner to that towTnship in Cleveland county that will make the largest proportional Democratic gain over the vote of 1884. In 1884 Cleve land gave a larger Democratic vote than any conhtjrin the State. This year it is running a race with Catawba for the county ban-, ner. ; JSTThe Journal is only $1 per year if paid in advj ivce Who are They? From the State Chronicle. The question has been asked the Chronicle: " Who are the lead ers of the third party in iforth Carolina? How have they been voting in the past?" . This is a timely inquiry. It is information that the people ought to have, and which we gladly fur nish. Dr. D. W. C. Benbow and Prof. W Steele are the leaders of the third party, being chairman and secretary of the Executive com mittee, and the chief authorsj pro moters and agitators of the third party movement. Both of them are radicals. Both of them hate Democracy. Both of them are seeking to injure the Democratic party by this third party move ment. Everybody who knows Dr. Benbow knows that he has always, until he joined the third party, been a radical of the deepest dye. When he saw that he could best serve radicalism by joining the third party, he joined it. He be came chairman of the Executive committee of the third party. Prof W. F. Steele,the secretary of the third party Executive com mittee, came to Greensboro from Massachusetts to teach a negro school in that place. If he felt that it was his duty to teach a negro school, he had and has a perfect right to do so. Certainly the Chronicle would not criticise him for doing what he conceived to be his duty. If he believes in social equality, as has been evi denced by his social intercourse with negroes, that is his own mat ter. If his wife introduced negroes to ladies in Greensboro, and for that reason they have yisited her no. more, wo have nothing to say about that. She is a free woman and can do as she pleases. If he voted the Republican ticket all his life until he joined the third party, as he admits, we have nothing to say about that. He had a perfect right to choose his own and his wife's associates and to vote as he pleased. " " But the Chronicle does say this: That the thoughtful white men of Xorth Carolina will not join any party which has such a man as secretary of its Executive commit tee and as editor of its organ. This man Steele drafted the plat form of the North Carolina third party, ne edits the organ of the party. He, with that othervradi cal, Dr. Benbow, is running the party, and running it in the inter est of the Republican party. They pose as better than other men, and their hypocrisy is so nearly perfect that some good Democrats are deceived and led into the trap set for them. These good men they use as decoy ducks with which to en trap others. The leaders of the third party are radicals,and if that party does anything the Republican party will be the gainer. And Still They Come. From the Morgan ton Star. We are glad to be able to quote from good authority that Colonel Charles Price has signified his in tention; to support Hon. Daniel G. Fo wle ' for Governor. We look upon this as a ten stroke for Judge Fo wle and the Democratic party. Col. Price is regarded as one of the brightest lights, intellectually, in the State, and could have re ceived the nomination at the last Republican convention for Gover nor if he had suffered his name to be ran. ": .- . :' Trading Ben Harrison for Con gressmen would be a very mean thing to. do, but the war tariffers are not going to spare a man merely because his grandfather was a prominent person. The Tippecanoe veterans are not numerous enough to elect anybody, and the tariffers have got to do something. J&STSubsci ibe for the Journal A West Point Court-Martial. From the Troy (if. Y.) Times, West Point furnishes some fun ny courts-martial, Some years ago, when General Merritt was ; superintendent and Colonel Has brouck commandant of cadets, a scamp of a cadet, who knew that he couldn't possibly pull through, owing to the mountain of demer its piled up against him, deter mined to have one grand blow-out before he was fired out. There fore, he got an immense pile of shavings and stuffed them in and about an old shed left standing on the grounds, and one night he set fire to the pile. The fire brigade was, turned out and there was im mense excitement, noise, and a glorious time generally. Of course, there wasn't the slightest trouble in tracing the culprit. The result of the experiment follows: He was immediately put under arrest, and a court-martial con vened of captains and lieutenants. The culprit, when brought before the court, as it sat in awful majes ty and full uniform, was sternly required to tell all he knew about the fire. "Well, I d-don't know anything exactly," he stammered,bashfully, "but I've heard." "Then, sir, state what you've heard." "But you wouldn't admit it be cause it's hearsay testimony, and I've forgotten who told me me." This made the Court very mad. "You are not required, sir," roared the president, "to state what will or will not be admitted as testimony by the court. Pro ceed, sir." "But you won't believe mei" fur ther protested the culprits At this thie Court' got - madder than ever. "Go on, sir," thundered half a dozen members at once. "Well, they do say," said the culprit very timidly, at last, "that Colonel Hasbrouck got the shavings and General Merritt set her affre!!L A Stiking Fact. At no time since the war has the Republican party been endors ed by a majority of the white vo ters of the country. Here are the figures: The votes for the Presi dential candidates show it: . 1868 Seymour, dem ...2,709.613 Grant, rep.... 1872 Greely, dem.. Grant, rep.... 1876 Tilden, dem...

The Democratic majority in 1884 was about a .million. It 'appears that the increase of the Democratic majorities has been about 200,000 every year. This affords ground for happy anticipations for Nov ember, to say the least of it. An Explanation. What Is this "nervous trouble" with which so many seem now to be afflicted? If you will remem ber, a few years ago the word Ma laria Was comparatively unknown, to-day it is as common as any word in the English language; yet this word covers only the meaning of another word used by our forefathers in times past. So it is with nervous disease,as they and malaria are intended to cover what our grandfathers called bil iousness, and all are caused by troubles that arise from a diseased condition of the liver, which, in performing its functions, finding it can't dispose of the bile through the ordinary channel, is compelled to pass it off through the system, causing nervous troubles, malaria, bilious fever, etc. Yon who are suffering 'can well appreciate a cure. We recommend Gieen's August Flower. Its cures are marvelous Cnati el Mortiriges; Mortgage tw.u USiimmtv lends, ana .Mais Deeds, Hates' Blank for sale at this otlice. , . 1
