We take the following extract from the Preside!) t's inessag i n reference to taxation: We discover that the fortunes realized by our manufacturers are no longer solely the reward of sturdy industry and enlightened foresight, but that they result from t)ietliscrimnating favor of the government, aud are largely built upon undue exactions- from the masses of our people. The gulf between employers and the em ployed is constantly widening and . i classes are rapidly forming, one comprising the rich and powerful, wbile in another are found the toiling and poor. As we view the achievement of aggregated 'capital.' we discover the existence of trusts, combina tions and 'monopolies, while the citizeu ia struggling far in the rear or is trampled to death be neath an iron heel. Corporations, which should bo carefully re strained creatures of the law and servants of the people, are fast be coming the people's masters. Still congratulating ourselves upon the wealth and prosperity of our country, and complacently contemplating every incident of change inseperable from these conditions, it is our duty as patri otic citlzeus to inquire, at the preseut stge of our progress, how the bond of government made with the people has beeu kept and performed. Instead of limiting the tribute drawu from our citizens to the ne cessities of its economical admin istration, the government persists in exacting from the substance the people millions which, unap plied and useless, lie dormant in its treasury. This flagrant injus tice and this breach of faith and obligation add to extortion the danger attending the diversion of the currency of the country from the legitimate channels of busi ness. Under the same laws by which these results are procured the govetnment permits many millions more to be added to the cost of the living of our people and to be taken from our consumers, which uureasoably swell the profits of a small but powerful minority. The people must still be taxed for the support of the government under the operation of tariff laws. But to the extent that the mass of our citizens are inordinately burdened bevond any useful pub lic purpose, and for the beurftt of a favored few, the government, under pretext of an exercise of its taxing power, enters gratuitously into partnership wih these favor ites, to their advantage and. to the injury of a vast majority of our people. This is not equality before the law. The existing situation is inju rious to the health of ourleutire body-politic. It stifles, in those for whose benefit it is permitted, all patriotic love of country, and substitutes iu its place selfish greed and grasping avarice. De votion to American citizenship for its own sake and for what it should accomplish as a motive to our nation's advancement and the happiness of all our people, is dis placed by the assumption that the government, instead of being the embodiment of equality, is but an instrumentality through which es pecial and individual advantages are to be gained. The arrogance of this assump tion is unconcealed. It appears in the sordid disregard of all but personal interests, in the refusal to abate for the benefit of others one iota of selfish advantage, and in combinations to perpetuat such advantages through efforts to con trol legislation and improperly in fluence the suffrages of the people. The grievances of those not in cluded within the circle of these beneficiaries, when 'fully realized, will surely arouse irritation and discont. Our farmers, long-suffering and patient, struggling in the race of life with the hardest and most unreraittingtoil, will not fail to see, in spite of misrepre sentations and misleading falla cies, that they are obliged to ac cept such prices for their products as are fixed in foreign markets where they compete with the farmers of the worldj that their lands are declining in value while their debts increase, and that without compensating favor they ! are forced ty the action of the Government to pay, for the bene fit of others, such enhanced prices j for the thiugs they need, that the jcanty returns of their labor feel to furnish their support or leave no marg;n for accumulation. Our workingmen, enfranchised from ail delusions and no longer frightened by the cry that their wages are endangered by a just revision of our tariff laws, will reasonably demand through such revision steadier employment, cheaper means of living in their homes, freedom for themselves and their children from the doom of perpetual servitude, and an open door to their advancement beyond the limits of a laboring class. Others of our citizens whose comforts and expenditures are measured by moderate salaries ati fixed incomes will insist upon the fairness and justice of cheap ening the cost of necessaries for themselves and their famalies. When to the selfishness of the benefieiaries of unjust discrimina tion under our laws there shall be added the discontent of those who suffer from such discrimination, we will realize the fact that the beneficient purposes of our gov ernment, dependent upon the pa triotism and continent of our peo ple, are endangered. Communism is a hateful thing, and a menace to peace and or ganized government. But the communism of combined wealth and capital, the outgrowth of overweening cupidity and self ish; which insidiously undermines the justice and integrity of free institutions, is not less danger ous than the communism of op pressed poverty and toil which, exasperated by injustice and dis content, attacks with wild disor der the citadel of rule. He mocks the people who pro poses that the government shall protect the rich and that they in turn will care for the laboring poor. Any intermediary between the people and their government, or the least delegation of the care and protection the government owes to the humblest citizen in the land, makes the boast of free institutions a glittering delusion and the pretended boon of Ameri can citizenship a shameless impo sition. A just and sensible revision of our tariff laws should be made for the relief of those of our country men who sufler under present con ditions. Such a revision should receive the support of all who love that justice aud equality due to American citizenship, of all who realize that in this justice and equality our government finds its strength and its power to protect the citizen and his property, of all who believe that the contented competence and comfort of many accord better with the spirit of our institutions tlhan collossal fortunes unfairly gathered in the hands of a few, of all who appre ciate that the forbearance and frateruitj- among our people, which : recognize the value of everv American interest, are the surest ' guaranty of our national progress, and of all who desire to see the products of American skill and ingenuity in every market of the world with a resulting restoration of Americau restoration. The necessity of the reduction of our revenue is so apparent as to be generally conceded. But the means by which this end shall be accomplished and the sum of direct benefit which shall result to our citizens, present, a contro versy of the utmost importance. There should be no scheme accept ed as satisfactory by which the burdens of the people are only ap parently removed. Extravagant appropriations of public money, with all their demoralizing conse quencesj should not be tolerated', either as a means of relieving the treaeury of its present surplus, or as furnishing pretext for resisting a proper reduction in tariff rates. Existiug evils and injustice should be honestly recgonized, boldly met aud effectively remedied. There should be no cessation of the struggle until a plan is perfected, fair and conservative toward ex isting industries, but which will reduce the cost to consumers or the necessaries of life, while it pravides for our manufacturers the advantage of freer raw mate rials aud permits no injury to the interests of American labor. The cause for which the battle is waged is compromised within lines clearly and distinctly defined. It should never be compromised. It is the people's cause. Cross Country Roads. From the Pittsboro Record. No class of out. citizens is so much affected and injured by our bad roads as the farmers. They are the persons who chiefly use the public roads, and they are the ones who should feel the deepest interest in having the roads kept in good condition. Our bad roads are one of the main causes why the country does not improve and the farmers prosper. The wear and tear of vehicles and teams, the light loads and the loss of time caused by our bad roads are a heavy burden and tax upon any farmer who hauls anything, but our people have become so accus tomed to it that they hardly ap preciate this fact. Some persons say that our pres ent road laws are sufficient, if they were only executed; that the , system is all right but it is hot properly carried into practical ef fect. Admitting this to be true. yet we think that laws that are not executed ought to be repealed, and, though our present road sys tern may be all right and yet not carried out practically, why have such a system? Our State has been testing the present system for years and years, and yet to doy our roads are in no better con dition than they were fifty years ago. They are not only a heavy burden upon the people who trav el them, but are a disgrace to our civilization! " - Judge Montgomery Resigns. From the News and Observer. Gov. Scales has appointed CoL B. F. Armfield Judge of the eighth district of North; Carolina, vies Judge W. J. 3Iontgomery, who has tendered his resignation. CcL Armfield will accept the position and take charge of the circuit after the first day of of January. Gov. Scales could have made co better selection than this.
