That whenever in any statute denouncing auy violation of the internal revenue laws as a felouy, crime, or misdemeanor, there is prescribed in such statute a minimum punishment, less than which minimum no hue, penalty, imprisonment, or punishment is authorized to be imposed, every such minimum punishment is here bv a bolislied; a d the court or judge in every such case shall have discretion to impose any line, penalty f: imprisonment, or punishr menr, not exceeding the limit au thorized by .'.such statute, whether such tine, penalty, imprisonment, or punishment be less or greater than the said minimum so pie scribed. AFFIDAVITS FOR WARRANTS TO IJE ON PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE. Sec. 30. That no warrant, in any case under the internal laws, 8hall';.be issued npon.-aiiy affidavit making charges upon information and belief, unless such affidavit is made by jv collector or deputy col lector of internal revenue or by a revenue agent, and, with the ex ception aforesaid, no warrant shall be issued except upon a sworn complaint, setting forth the facts constituting the offense and alleging them to be within the personal knowledge of the affi ant. And the United States shall not be liable to pay any fees to marshals, clerks, commissioners, or other officers for any warrant issued or arrest made in prosecu tions under the internal revenue laws, unless there be a conviction or the prosecution has been ap proved, either before or after such arrest, by the attorney of the United States for the district where the offense is alleged to have been committed, or. unless the prosecution was commenced by in formation or indictment.

That the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, with the ap proval of the Secretary of the Treasury, may compromise any civil or crimnal case, and may re duce or remit any fine, penalty, forfeiture, or assessment under the in tern rl revenue laws. DISTILLER OF BRANDY MAY BE EXEMPTED EXCEPT FROM THE TAX. Sec. 33. That section thirty-two hundred and fifty-five of the Revised Statutes of the United States be amended by striking out all after said number and sub stituting therefor the following: "And the Commissioner of In terna? Revenue, with the approv al of the Secretary of the Treas ury, may exempt distillers of brandy made exclusively from ap ples, peaches, grapes, or other fruits f.om any provision of this title relating to the manufacture of spirits, except as to the tax thereon, when , iu his judgment it may seem expedient to do so. ''The Secretary of the Treasury may exempt all distilleries which mash less than twenty-five bush els of min per day from opera tions of the provisions of this title relating to the manufacture of spirits, except as to the payment of the tax, which said tax shall then be levied and collected on the capacity of said distilleries; and said distilleries may, and said distilleries may, at the discretion of said secretary, then be run and operated "without storekeepers or storekeepers and gaugers.' ;And the Commissioner of Internal Rev enue, with the approval of said Secretary, may establish special warehouses, in which he may au thorize to be deposited the prod uct of any number of said distill eries to be designated by him,aud in which 'Ifi'tfyv distiller, operating any such distillery may deposit his product, which wheu so de posited, shall be subject to all the laws and regulations as to bonds, tax, removals, and otherwise as other warehouses. The Comnis sioner of Internal Revenue, w ith the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury, is hereby authorized and directed to make such rules and regulations as may be neces sary to carry out the provisions of this section: Provided that such regulations shall be adopted as will require that all the spirits manufactured shall be subject to the payment of the tax according to law." Sec. 37. That the provisions of an act entitled "An act relating to the production of fruit brandy, and. to punish frauds connected with the same," approved March the third, eigeteen hundred and seventy -seven, be extended and made applicable to brandy dis tilled from apples or peaches, or from any other fruit the braudy distilled from which is not now required, or hereafter shall not be required, to be deposited in a dis tillery warehouse: Provided that each of the warehouses estab lished uuder said act, or which" may hereafter be established,shall be in charge of either a storekeep er or a storekeeper and ganger, at the discretion of the Commis sioner of Internal Revenue. (section 38 provides that when a still is adjudged forfeited, hav ing a less capacity than 150 gal lons,it shall not be destroyed nor shall other property seized be de stroyed). HEALTH OF PRISONERS TO BE CARED FOR. Sec. 39. That whenever it sh all be made to appear to the United States court or judge having ju risdiction that the health or life of any person imprisoned for any offense, in a county jail or else where, is endangered by, close confinement, the said court or judge is hereby authorized to make such order and provision for the comfort and well-being of the person so imprisoned as shall be deemed reasonable and proper. Sec. 10. That all clauses of sec tion thirty-two hunderedjand forty four of the revised Statutes, and all laws amendutory thereof, and all other laws which impose any special taxes npon manufacturers of stills, retail dealers in liquors and retail dealers in malt liquors, are hereby repealed. (The bill of which the above are provisions was passed by the Dem ocratic House and is now before the Republican Senate for its ac tion. Mr. John Nichols voted against this bill). The Issue. The Democratic party of the State once more appeals to the people for a verdict in its favor and against its old enemy, the Radical party, and upon the same old issues. But it is said the people have heard about these issues before and are tired of them. But is this so? When two parties go be fore them asking their votes do the people ever tire of hearing that one party has been uniform ly economical, honest, sensible and intelligent, and the other uni formly extravigant and corrupt? Does any sensible man ever give his contidence to a man of uui forinly bad character when he can get one wThose whole life has been irreproachable? Honesty loses nothing by age and is qnite as important to-day as it was twenty years ago. The people of North Carolina, therefore, be ing sensible people, the Demo cratic party once more calls their attention to its record and to that of the Radical party. The following are the main is sues: 1. Education. The Democratic party in North Carolina has done and will continue to do all it can to promote the cause of educatiou. In proof of this, while willing to accept Federal aid on proper con ditions, it puts its own shoulder to the wheel and keeps it there. The Kadical party relies slowly on Federal aid, and that seemingly without regard to conditions. And then, too, the Democratic party puts educational affairs in competent hands, whereas if the recently nominated Radical can didate for Superintendent of Pub lic Instruction, James B. Mason, of Orange, be elected, the De partment of Education wiil be, to borrow the language of Judge Russell, a parody and a travesty on civilization. And he wasnom iuated over Professor Alexander Mclvery, a competent man, too. Such a nomination was not fit to be made even by a party of "sav age negroes. 2. State Taxation. The Demo cratic party is iu favor of low State taxation and practices strict economy in the administration of State affairs. The Radical party levies high taxes and is extrava gant and corrupt in its expend itures. 3. Federal Taxation. The Dem ocratic party is in favor of a low tariff, or tariff for revenue. The Radical party is in favor of a high tariff, or one that shall give pro tectiou for protection's sake. The Democratic party thinks that no more taxes ought to be collected from the people than are abso lutely necessary to pay the ex penses of the government eco nomically administered, and that it is pure robbery to collect auy more than is enough for this pur pose. The Radical party favors the collection of taxes almost without limit, and expenditures of the very heaviest kind. If any man doubts this, let him read the appropriations demanded by that party in the platform recently adopted at Chicago, and he will doubt no more. In the matter of internal reve nue taxation, the Democratic party opposes the whole system. In 1870 we regained con trol of j the legislature, which, under the rule of Federal bayonets, had fall en into the hands of the Radicals. Immediately we commenced to make war on the internal reve nue system by resolutions and in structions to our Senators and Representatives in Congress. In 1879, 1871 and 1873, the tax being needed by the Federal gov ernment to pay its war debts, re ductions and modifications only were asked for. But in 1874, 1870, 1881j 1883, the tax being no longer necessary, the demand has, from that time, been for an abso lute repeal. Not until 1884 did the Radical party iu North Carolina find out that it was opposed to the intern al revenue system, and as late aa its recent National Convention held at Chicago, 21st June, 18S8, the National party favored repeal only in case there was a surplus in the treasury after making 4ap propriations for the early rebuild ing of our navy, for the construc tion of coast fortifications and other approved modern means of defense for the protection of our defenseless harbors aud cities; for the payment of just pensions to our soldiers; for necessary works of national importance in the im--proveraent of the harbors and channels of internal or coastwise and foreign commerce; for the en couragement of the shipping in terests of the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific States, as well as for the payment of the maturing public debt." Does any one suppose that there will be a dollar of surplus in the treasury when all these things shall have been done! and yet only when they shall have been, doue will the National Radical party consent to the repeal of the i n tern aPre venue .system that is to say, not until "the day after judgment." Before all these things or the half of them shall have beeu done the very memory even, of a "surplus" will have been lost. 4. Federal Financiering. The Democratic party favors low tax es and economical administration at Washington as well as at Ral eigh. The Radical party boasts of the great sums of money it has collected from th peoplee and the great expenditures it lias made to get rid of iu The Radical policy of raising money from the people to pay the bond-holders before their bonds were due and the va rious other legislation resorted to for the purpose of enriching the bond-holders at . the expense of the people, which they call "wise and beneficient," we denounce as robbery pure and simple. 5. County Government. The Democratic party is in favor of the present system of county gov ernment. The Radical party is opposed to it. Mr. Dockery, how ever, by his proposition to create boards of audit and fiuance in the j negro counties, admits the im propriety of giving the negro's power to control, property, and the necessity for some protection to property in negro counties. But it is not property alone, nor mainly even, that needs protec- tion from ignorant negroes "savages," as Judge Russell calls them in the negro counties. The rights of persons also need pro tection. There ought not to be any negro magistrates, any negro constables, school committeemen, school teachers, or negro officials of any sort in authority over white peeple. This is even more im portant than protection to prop erty, and this Mr. Dockery does not even pretend to remedy. 6. Color Line. The Democrat ic party is in favor of "the color ine," as it is called, and the Rad ical party is opposed to it. The Democratic party thinks these ought to be no negro officials in authority over white men. That is, in short, what we mean by the "colof line."
