II. T. BURKE, 1 Principal. The Republican Tariff Bill. First, the Mills bill repeals, all tobacco taxes, except on cigars and cigarrettes; and so does the Republican Senate bill. . Second, the Mills bill abolishes the odious and oppressive features of collecting the whiskey tax; thii the Republican. Senate bill fails to do. Third, the Republican Senate bill provides that alcohol used in the arts shall not be taxed, aud the Mills bill does not so say. Fourth, the great and funda mental principles of the Mills bill are to take the tax off raw mate rial and to tax the necessaries of life lower than the luxuries; while the Republican Senate bill ignores those two principles altogether. Fifth, the Mills bill is framed in -a spirit of fairness to all sections; i the only two Southern products protected by the tariff are sugar and rice, and in these the Senate makes such large deductions as to show their malignancy and spite towards the South. Their bill is sectional. We present the following re sume of the Eepublican bill taken from the York Times: . Flying in the face of the nation al platform, which declared that there should be no change in the tariff except toward prohibitory duties or the reduction or repeal of duties ou articles not luxuries that cannot be produced in this country, the Republicans of the Senate have presented a bill that practically cuts the sugar duty in two, adds a lew important articles to the free list, and makes a num ber of complicated and incompre hensible changes in classification and iu the chanicter of tlte duties levied. Tiie presentation of tne bill is a direct aud sweeping con demnation of the platform. Its reduction of the sugar duties is the surrender of the Drinciple of the protective tariff. The amount of reduction of the reveuue, which with the iuternal tax reductions is claimed liv its authors to be a bout $ 75,000,000, f is a com plete denial of the statement so recent ly and so emphatically made that there will be no surplus next year. And while these statements are literally aud obviously . true of the bill, the details of it are marked throughout by that sub tie and tricky favoritism to spe cial interests that has for years put millions of dollars into the pockets of a small, wealthy and powerful privileged class by pro visions the full effect of which can not be readily detected. It would be clearly a useless task to ana lyze the Senate bill as if it were a measure of inteuded legislation, since there is no hope and uo in tention of passing it, and yet our readers will be interested in so much of an analysis of it as will serve to show its real character, the motives that have inspired its preparation, and the evasive and hypocritical methods that have been pursued in framing it, as they have been purrued in every tariff measure enacted or proposed by Republicans for the last fifteen years at least. About the only portion of the bill that can lay any claim to be an honest effort at a reform of the tariff abuses is the extension of the free list. Thn surrender of the long-maintained and obstinate at tempt to "foster" the jute product in the United States is, like the reduction in sugar, an abandon ment of the priucipleof protection aud, like that also, is due to the fact that the interest fostered is in a hopelessly Democratic section of the country, and a like com ment is suggested by the repeal of the duty on the lower grades of molasses. With these provisions commendable if iuconsistent,there is a curious item of the repeal of the duty of $10 per pound on opi um for smoking, equal to 110 per cent, and yeildiDg some $550,000. To vrhat this is due we cannot im agine, and we should say it would be received with approval only by the hated Chinamen. . When we come to the changes in the provisions of the tariff left in force it is obvious that the most important, as well as those most inconsistent with the princi ple of reform partially adopted iu the free list and in the reduction on sugar, are the increased ''duties on wool and woolens. Here the protectionist proclivities of the Senators come out strong, though not strong enough to suit the vet eran claim an t,Mr. Sherman. There js & considerable increase propos ed in all classes of wools. We thus have an increase of du ties on an important material of manufacture of at least $1,525,000 and posssioly of $2,500,000. And with this atrocious weight added to duties now yielding only from $5,000,000 to $6,000,000, the insa tiable Ohio Senator is not satis fied,. but "hopes against hope" that the industry and commerce of the country will be still more heavily burdened. On woolen goods there is also proposed a grievous addition of duty, falling, as Republican bur dens generally do fall, most heav ily on those used by the less wealthy classes. Thus on all woolen cloths and shawls val ued at between 40 cents and 60 cents a pound there is added a tax of 5 per cent ad valorem', between 60 cents and 80 cents, 5 cents a pound and 5 per ceut ad valorem; above 80 cents a pound 5 cents-a is added. Of these cloths and sbawlawe import about $10,500, 00(Tjv6rtl. By a cruelly iuget BTour grouping the tax on ail flan nels, blankets and hats of wool valued at between 60 cents and 80 cents' a pound is increased 16 cents a pound, and 5 per cent ad valorem, while the tax on these articles costing above 80 cents is ouly advanced 5 cents a pound. In the same spirit, and with the same tender regard lor tne wear ers of line goods, and the same greedy spirit toward those who can afford only the coarser goods, women's aud children's dress goods valued at not over 15 cents per square yard are taxed 20 cents more a pound and 14 per ceut more in the ad valorem rate. The reduction on sugars is least on the higher grades that come in direct competition with refined sugars, and leaves the gre?,t sugar trust unharmed; the reduction on structural iron and steel is only 12 per cent, leaving the duty still 90 per cent, and prohibiting all se rious competition with the Beam day at Petersburg, after having retaken the trust; and generally, while this Republican bill in its free list and its reduction of the sugar tlx gives up the protection principle, in other parts of the bill it is adhered to with more than usual arbitrary favoritism for the rich and indifference to the poor. According to the estimates made by the committee, the bill provides for a total teduction of about $75,000,000, made up ap proximately as follows: Sugar,$27, 759,000; free list, $6,500,000; to bacco, (internal revenue) $24,500, 000; alcohol in the arts, $7,000,000; other reductions iu customs, $8, 000,000. The rooster that can crow loud est when the returns are all in is the rooster to bet your money on. The latest news from Connecticut indicates that the land of steady habits has not wobbled. The town elections indicate the usual Democratic majority on a full vote. Philadelphia Record. There is a constant stream of weak and dish-watery sentiments flowing fnto the columns of the newspapers from candidate Har rison of Indianapolis. He is old talkee talkee a windbag. The Wilkesboro Extension. From the Winston Daily. Mr. Geo. W. Hinshaw returned on yesterday from Wilkesboro where he, in company with Col. A. B. Andrews, has been to induce the county commissioners to call an election to be held on the 6th day of November to submit to the qualified voters of Wilkes the pro position for an extension of time on the $100,000 in bonds (voted for the building of the Wilkesboro road) to the 16th of November, 1890, conditioning with said com missioners to deposit as a forfeit the sum of $10,000, to be surren dered to the county in case of a failure to complete the road in the time specified. The company re presented' by Col. Andrews also conditioned to build a good bridge across Reddy's river, near Wilkes boro, for the use of wagons, etc. The election was ordered: The proposition now is that when one half of the road is built between the county line of Surry and Wilkesboro, and trains running on the same, then one-third of the bonds are to be turned over to the Richmond and Danville Company, and when the road is completed to Wilkes boro,the other two-thirds to be delivered to the railroad. The election will come off on the same date as the general election of county, State and National offi cers, and will have the support and co-operation of the candidates of both parties. ; The Wheat Corner. The wheat pit on the New York Produce Exchange was the scene of wildest excitement Saturday morniiig. A dispatch printed in a morning paper from St. Paul, showing a net decrease in West ern wheat crop of 40 per cent, caused quite a flurry among the brokers. Immediately on the open ing, prices begun to go up, and December and May were the feat ures. The former closed at $1.17$ Friday night and May at $1.22. December advanced in a short time this morning to $1J91 and May to $1.21. This advance caused a rush on the part of the shorts to cover and pandemonium pre vailed. Later on when the quotation for December wheat from Chica go was received that option took another bound and advanced to $1.21$ and the May deliveries ad vanced in proportion. It is now believed here that the Northwest ern miller will corner the last two months of the year. The market closed stroDg at $1.21 for Decem ber and $1.24 j for May. During the half day's session 19,000,000 bushels changed hands. Who is Your Best Friend? Your stomach, of course. Whyl Because if it is out of order you are one of the most miserable creatures living. n Give it a fair, honorable chance and see if it is not the best friend you have in the end. Don't smoke in the morning Don't drink in the morning. If you must smoke and drink wait until your stomach is through with breakfast. You can drink more and smoke more in the evening and it will tell on you less. If your food ferments and does not digest right, if you are troubled with heartburn, dizziness of the head, coming up of the food after eating, biiiousness, indiges tion, or any other trouble of the stomach, you had best use Green's August Flower, as no person can use it without immediate relief. Mr. S. B. Alexander, the leader of the Farmers' Alliance in North Carolina, commends Col. Paul Means and Capt. McDonald,Dem ocratic candidates in Cabarrus. By the very nature of things the Alliance can have no sympathy with the Radical negro party. Salisbury Truth. Are yowgwtfidl- Questions for Workers. From the New York World. ' If high tariffs make high wages why have the'workingmen of this country those in the "protected" industries most of all been com pelled to strike for better wages thousands of times during the last fifteen years? If the tariff protects, why has labor found it necessary to organ ize for protection! If protection insures abundant employment why have a million workers suffered enforced idleness at one time,and hundreds of thou sands been shut out at frequent intervals? Why are wages from 30 to 60 per cent higher in the same indus tries in different States that are all under the same tariff and sub jected to free , trade among them selves? Why are wages lower in the so called protected industries min ing, mills, man atactories, etc., than in other forms of skilled la borcarpenters, masons, printers and others? Why are wages the lowest in the most perfectly "protected" countries of the world China, Russia and Spain and higher in free trade England than in any protected country of Europe? What section of the tariff law constrains protected manufactur ers to add the tariff to the wages of their operatives? Do they an fact do this? , Let the workingmen think of these things. Barbecues! From handbills issued by Chair man Shuford, of Catawba, it ap pears that three barbecues and basket pic-nics will be held in tiie banner county at the following places and times: Oxford Ford, Saturday, October 27; Ball's Creek Camp Ground, Wednesday, Octo ber .31; Newton, Saturday before the election, November 3. Speak ers, Augustus Leazar, Lee S. Overman and others at Oxford Ford. Music by the military op era band. W. M. Robins, S. B. Alexander and W. H. Kitchin, at Ball's Creek Camp Ground. Music by the Newton Silver Cornet Band. Z. B. Vance, J. S. Henderson and others at Newton. Music by Mil itary Opera and Newton Silver Cornet Bands. Every Democrat in the county is invited to attend these barbecues and all are re quested to bring baskets. How Roe Worked. Different from most literary men, he was methodical in his work. He had his hours for labor, and never changed them while at his home. The early morning was given to farming, the bulk of the day to writing, aud the evening to recreation. It was his custom to write out the chapters of his novels oh slips and then have them copied on typewriters. The original slips look much like the siips on which Dickens wrote his w 1 Ml 11 copy, xney are aimosc megioie, owing to the great number of era sions, etc. Mr. Roe was a believ er in Ben Jonsou's saying: "Easy writing makes hard reading." He carried his corrections even into the composing department of his publisher: often taking the proof reader's place and making changes just before the type was. sent to the press room. The government wants just enough revenue. A redundancy always leades to extravagance, to many forms of corruption, and to all manner of schemes for getting rid of the money. A Congress as seembling with tens of millions of surplus at its disposal would bo very sure to hold sessions which would prove profitless to the peo ple, perilous to its own members.
