Since the memory of man run neth not to the contrary the Democratic party, the party which we have been taught to believe was the j friend of the - masses, has been adopting plat forms declaring against protec tion and high tariff. Our speakers including such men as Vance, Jarvis, Simmons, Overman, Kitchin, and every'Con gressman we have ac present, have told us of the iniquity of high tariff they have held up to us figuratively that old wool hat, telling us how much represented hat and how much protection, un - we honestly believed they meant what they said, and hoped when that same great old party of De- racy bad the PPortnmty we would cease buying so much pro - tection ana get more or me rem thing for our dollar. But surely they were all mis taken, or else have not been honest in our platfonu deciara- tions. Which is it: The Cotton Bill framed by the Mays and Means Committeeand indorser by the Democratic .caucus provides for a reduction of 43 per cent from the present rates. The average duty imposed by the Payne-Aldrich act, the one all of our speakers told us was so iniquitous, is 48.12 per cent, while that of the Underwood bill is 27.06 per cent. Now, we are not going to argue that the Cot ton Bit1 is the best thing for either the country or the manu facturer, for we know nothing about the manufacturing of cot ton, and there are so many able men on both sides that we refrain from expressing our opinion, but we do want to say that if the De mocratic party of North Caroli na favors protection then let's be honest and say so. If the Re publican party has been right all of these years and we have been wrong, then let us face about and get right. At any rate let's be hon est and not have the appear ance of trying to fool somebody. WHERE DOES THE TOBACCO FARMER COME In? Both of our Senators and near ly all of our Congiessmen are op posed to'the Cotton Bill now be fore Congress, and possibly they are right, for the cotton manu facturer has been having a hard time for the past four years. But, say, had you thought about it? If tftf. courier. r'abiisLeJ Lvery Wednesday Evening. WO. A. NOELL- EDITORS. JOS. W. NOELL the cotton manufacturer needs ; protection mind you, protection, . not a tariff for revenue, and the I Jjmber man needs protection. and the wool grower needs pro tection, and the rice grower need protection, and the sugar refiner v needs protection then what about t pota i inpre of our people. If it isif g66d thing f or these classes ;; ; why would it not be a good thing ':; for the tobacco planter and the 'cottoa planter? Yes, and why not protect our little infant in r dustries in the way of the coun try cross roads flour mill and . ' corn mill, for surely they can not 1 . coir pete with the large concerns. ' : It seems to us that our tobac- ; , jXco : farmers . are discriminated - against at almost every turn; His r product is not only not protected, liaa.dicappQd; rX)aWery 1 side. There-ar ' stricttons as L ..tl! , A Vino tst'naar E X' ?very article ba .tyys- with which 1 16 produced this crop is protect ed. To begin, with the iron f rom i which the plow is manufactured is protecte by law and sold by a trust, the guano is manufacfur ed and dolt out by a trust while the State placesja tax upon: it, which of course the farmer hs to pay. - Aside from the raising of this crop almost everything he buys is protected -the shoes his wife wears, and those for the baby, and those for himself, the dress for the ladies and the - suit for himself, the sugar which goes in his coffee, yea, and even the cof fin he is-at last put away in is handled by the coffin trust. All of which he pays, and not one cent of protection does he get. "You build the roads. We'l pay the bills." Such was the motto on the banners carried by children in an election for bonds for good reads in Virginia a fev days ago. Oh, if yod farmers could only see it that way, how soon we would have good roads. Instead of placing a bur den on the children you would be giving them an incalculable bless ing, one which they would bless you for the longest day they may live. ; CoI1J?ress wiU probably adjoiirn ! thelastof m week as it is j pretty gGliera,Iy known that j President Taft is o-oing to veto I all of the tariff measures put 1 thloudl? aye the. Reciprocity act. And by the way, Cp.nada may not adopt this,-as there is quite a fight on over it now in the , election they are soon to have j The faimers are cutting tobac- ; co right along now and the crop is going to be pretty Rood. Of course it will xbe impossible to have a full crop, for there was not a full crop planted, but the crop is much better than the most sanguine dared to hope for six weeks ago. We are publishing on another page an article headed "A Word to the farmers," which was handed in to us with he request that we published it. It may mean right much to you and you are asked to read it. WHY SHOULD THEY. The annoucement comes from Washington that at once several thousand postal savings banks are to be opened by the Postof fice Department, Simultaneous ly comes the news that the postal savings bank at New Bern was opened yesterday and that there was not a single depositor. In some cittes, particularly where there is a large foreign popula tion which sends money to rela tives in Europe, the deposits in the postal savings banks are large, and there are many depos its in those sections where saving banks pay only two or three per cent interest on deposit. But why should anyone in New Bern or Raleigh put his money iu a postal Savings bank and get only two per cent or twtf dollars a year for $ 1 00 -when he can put it in a perfectly safe and sound bank at home and be paid twice as much for the use of his money that is four per cent or $4 a year o $100? Whenever a man has saved money he should not be satisfied merely to hoed it up for safe keeping, but should pat it in a perfectly safe 'place where it will draw the largest rate of in terest. The North Carolina sav ings banks are sound to the core' pay four per cent interest quart erly or. semi annually. When a man can get such returns for his money in a perfectly safe place, why should he put his money, in the postal saving bank and- get only two per cenUr-Kes and Observer. ' V.'.
