WHAT SHAU. THE HAKYUST HE I The farmer, when- he puts in his eeed, does not expect an immediate harvest. He knows that there most be first the blade, then the . ear aad afterwards the fall grain in the ear. He is willing to wait, knowing that with diligent labor aad propitious seasons he shall reap li he faints not. In everything bat politics men are willing to await the results of progressive development. They seem never to realize that the sci ence of Government is most - diScnlt W " ell . , aciences and that erolationa "of tState, like the revolution of planets, can-; not be effected by light and trn-; sient causes. Mr. Cleveland appears to be ad-, dieted to caving the right thing at the wrong time, and jet, it may be, the fault of others not to remem-! ber that the arrow does not reach the mark the iDetanc it is shot from the string. Near the close of Mr. Cleveland's first dminstration, he sent to Con- j gress his. fa mo a 9 tariff message. . It was the ablest State paper that : had emanated from the White House in an age. It was soand to i f Ka AnrA A ll iamAnil ef ilia fircif I land hrl.t I ri-ri' III ii III I l 'hi- hri' water. Bat what was its effect 1 j 8man l0;1, s u, , lu, ,,,,,, ,,uur tlliox.

Mr. V. roscorr kileil a lue the Democracy went down under! the recoil: but, iu 1S32 Tariff Re-j form became the slogan of the peo pie and carried the Democratic party into power. I Mr. Cleveland has again said the ; right thing at apparently the wrong time. He baa declared for a flexi- ble currency and an abundance of money, equal to all the needs of the Government and the wants of the people. Had this action been taken at the commencement of the second Cleveland Administration, or even at the beginning of the 53rd Congress, the condition of affairs would have teen different from what it is today but, who can say, with absolute certainty, that it would have been better ? The future is before us. The seed has been sown, and what shall the harvest be T We do not irish to indulge in too bright expections, bat it is our duty, as journalists, to lift np the hearts of the people, and bid them see fields ripe for the harvest. The principle of tariff reform has taken fast hold upon the people. MoKinleyism is dead, and its Prophets and Apostles turn from its tomb to salute the star that reigns sovereign of the ascendant. Congress will now address itself to the currency. We do not know that the Cleveland-Carlisle plan will be adopted in all its parts, bat it is the foundation stone on which will be erected a financial edifice that will shelter and protect all the people. When it rains it pours." Not ouly has the Cleveland administra tion awoke to a toll realization of the financial situation, but Mr. Gresham appears as a giant refreshed by sleep. It need not be denied that in Us commencement the Administration blnndered in the conduct of Foreign Affairs, but Mr. Gresham is now winning golden opinions on every hand. The treaty with Japan adds a leather to his plume, and it seems probable that Nicaragua will give immor tality to his fame. Then, what shall the harvest be T The restoration of Democrocy, and the prosperity and happiness of the people ! THEIR WOKK, KOT OUKS. An economical administration of the Government has always been a demand of the Democratic party. It has declared, in convention after convention, in favor of a tariff suffi cient to defray the expenses of Government economically adminis tered. There has been no depart ure from the faith in this respect, nevertheless, Republican journals are exalting over the report of the Secretary of ihe Treasury that the income of the Government for the last fiscal year fell short of its ex penditures to the amount of 70,- 000,000. But . this is the result of .their work, not ours. The conditions which both increased tha expenses and reduced the revenues are due to Republican legislation. A very large proportion of the increased expenditures of the Gov ernment imposed by Republican administrations were of a kind for which succeeding administrations could not avoid making appropria tions if they so desired. The pension legislation since the war has been such as to bind future generation and impose upon pos terity greivous and oppressive burdens. The Cleveland adminis tration could not avoid expendi tures thrust upon them. Ic has shown no disposition to violate con tracts or in any way disparage the credit of the Government, but it has largely reduced expenditures where it had authority and opportunity to do so. No Secretary of the Treasury was ever confronted by such difficulties as faced Carlisle when he assumed the Treasury portfolio. The lavish waste of money by the Republicans had brought the treasury to the verge of bankruptcy. An enor mous deficit had already been created, while the languishing receipts derived from the operation of Republican legislation were daily growing smaller. Unneces sary burdens in the way of con tinuing appropriations had been heaped upon the tieasury, making ic almost impossible to maintain the public credit. The new Democratic tariff had only a few months ot operation before the dose ot the last fiscal year. It went into operation at a time of great business depression, and the progress it has made in overcoming the difficulties in its way is really marveloas. Indeed it is winning golden opinions on every hand and wringing a reluc tant tribute from its late opponents. The car of progress will be for a time blocked by the ascendency of the Republican party, bat we have faith in the final triumph of Demo cratic principles, and firmiy be lieve that the Democratic party will yet overcome all opposing bar riers and give to the country a soand, constitutional, economical administration.

Hon. F. 1). Koonc'4 fcliould be the Popu list Senator of North (.'arj'ina. Editor Journal: I have been impressed with what has been said in the Jackson ville Times, in re ;ard to injustice and mgratitade of political parties in this day, to wards their best men, As an illus tration of the truth of the state, oient. The E litor oi that paper meut ons F. D. Koouce. Esq , of Onslow couuty, the pioneer ot t lie reform movement iu North Caro lina, says the times. "When there is no earthly chrince to be elected; Mr. F. 1). Koonce is generally put, up as a candidate by his political allies. When t he re s-ard is to be distributed he is relegated to the rear. Asa matte: of fact these things ought not to be so. No man in North Carolina has contributed more of his time, talent and means in the cause of reform than Mr. Koonce; and be fairly deserves anything in the gift ot that party, which he aided in forming and leading to its pret-ent success." Though the writer does not re side in the same county with Mc Koonce. It can truly be snid ty hundreds and thousands who no ticed his course for many years and heard bis political speeches, that he has displayed wonderful judg ment and foresight, in predict ing the troat les that now alllict the people of the county warning them of the consequences suggesting curative remedies. His expeiienee aud attainments are sucjri as to recommend him to the highest places in governmental affairs, and he has the full confi dence of men of all shude of politi cal opinions, though differing from him upon many points. Hesides this, with the people, Mr. Koonce is by all odds the strongest Populist leader in eastern North Carolina. As proved by the heavy vote cast lor him; as the People's party candidate for Con gress in the 3d district two years ago. In which contest he encoun tered, single-handed many of our ablest speakers; and the result shows that the 3d district gave more votes for the reform move ment than any other in the State i xcept one, and Mr. Koonce rau nearly five thousand ahead of his party ticket. Let honor be given whom honor is due; md as there are two new United States Senators to be elec ted this winter. It will be a just rrii'iit" to I' D.
