MATTER. ' '
NEWSPAPER CREDIT SYSTEir
f "We have recently sent out state
ments of accounts to those subscri
bers who are in arrears, and shall
expect them to suttle at once. After
this issue we will not send the paper
auy longer to those who are as mud:
as one year behind. We would like
for you" to have the paper, but we
are unable to furnish ;t free."
There is inuh discussion with the
State press about the credit system
in running newspapers. We clip the
. quotation above from an exchange,
and think it just what every man
who reads a newspaper without pay-
ing for it ought to see. We are ever
ready to say anything that we think
is to the interest of our readers. And
now we will say a word about the
wwapaper credit system with ref
f rence to the interest of newspaper
readers. ' The majority of the com
ments on the system by editors is in
defense of their own interest, which
is right-and proper, but e denounce
the system not only because it is a
much an impossibility to run a news
paper without money as it is to run
any other business on the same prin
ciple ; but because it has a terilemy
to injure our readers as well. It eu
couraires a spirit of carelessness
about business matters. Any ont
knows that carelessness in one thing
begets carelessness in another. Busi
ness is business with a newspaper
as well asjmyth'ngelse. Wedem u c
the system for a still gr.-: t r reason. Jt
is unfair for those engaged in the
business. But perhaps some one
will saj, why not the editor wait for
his money as well as the merchant ?
This is an unfair view of the matter.
The merchant takes mortgages in
many cases fn-m the very men that
take the newspaper w.. int paying
for it.
In this view of the matter the mer
chant has the advantage in two par
ticulars. In the first place, he is safe.
for he gets his pay at the fall before
the editor does even if the editor gets
his at all the mortgage must be
raised, first, you know. In the second
place, the merchant can much better
afford to wait for the money for the
goods he sells, for he buys them on
time himself in many cases. But who
ever heard of .an editor ordering
paper, ink, coal, postage stamps &c,
and letting the account run till the
fall, or till the crop is gathered ?
And well may the venders of paper,
ink, coal, &c, refuse to wait for tlieir
money till the "crop is gathered" for
the newspaper, for if they should
trust to such pay as that the "fell"
would not be long off with them.
Then there is no "cropping it" with
printers and "devils" in a newspaper
office. They must have the cash at
the end of every week. The truth is
the newspaper man must have the
money for his paper, advance the
money without much hope of ever
getting it back, or let his paper sus
pend. Now, what would be tlie com
ments upon the members of the edi
torial fraternity N if every man who
does not pay up promptly for his
papi r should fail to get it any longer?
And yet we think this is exactlv
what ought to be done. It is just as
great a wrong to subscribe to a news
paper and not pay for it as it is to
hire a man to work a year in your
shop or in your field and then nut
pay him. Let the press speak out
and say whether or not newspapers
snail still flood the country at the ex
pense of the editors. We are willing
to cut down our list to those who pay.
If every press will set right down on
every man who does not pay for his
paper in advance or make some satis
factory arrangement about paying
for it in the future, there will be
more profit to newspaper men and
less remorse of conscience with de
linquent subscribers. We want to see
an expression from every newspaper
in the State.
COMMON SENSE IN POLITICS.
No man who can think for himself
will ever object to the practice of
common sense iu anything. By com
mon sense wff" mia 1 that which is
practical, and presents things in
such a way as to make them tangible.
The political issues of the day are
ever engaging ine attention 01 our
party leaders, and it is yery right
that this should be the case. But too
often the common sense view of
tnings is laid aside, and instead some
blubbering, fanatical outburst of prej
udice or unnecessary enthusiasm
siezes upon them with such force that
they lose their equilibrium entirely.
We deem it rery important that the
common sense view of things should
always be taken. v The Charlotte
to say on the subject : ' -
''There is one intellectual element,
which, if allowed precedei ce in Democrat
ic councils lor tLe next twelve months,
will insure success, ana inai is w uai i
usually cilled common sense. It must be
contWseU that, lor many years past, it has
not prevailed to any very conspicuous ex
tent in the management of the Democratic
party, but has rattier been suppresseu
and kept in the background, 'l iie chief
prominence has been given to gentlemen
with an idea, and the regular and invaria
ble result has been an important gnashing
of teeth among the laiihful over lue.r
defeat. This process has bvcome very
fatiguing, not to say demoralizing, and.
unless it is stopped, will end in tue disso
lution of the Democratic party, l lu re is,
practically, no serious difference amongst
the leaders or masses of the party upon
the great economic questions wiiicn have
gradually risen into prominence in the
country, but the danger which threaten
it arises from the inordinate ambition and
conceit of certain would-be leaders to
whom experience conveys no wisdom and
disaster serves only as an irritant. this
ambition and conceit must be chastened,
and the gentlemen wiio have displayed 11
must be stripped of the:r epauletts , other
wise the winds of November, 1884, will
be more heavily laden than ever with the ;
wails of discomfited Democracy
To one who has carefully read and ana
lyzed thi speeches of Democratic Senators
and Representatives in Congress, and the
newspaper essays of Democratic editors
throughout the country, it is apparent
tliat there is almost entire unanimity ol
judgment as to the principle on which
taxation for Federal purposes should be
levied. They alt agree that the object to
be kept in view, and that which was con
templated by the trainers of th Constitu
tion in providing for tariif taxation, was
the raising of the revenue necessary for
the purposes ot the government. Tnis is
the vantage ground, and the only vantage
ground as 10 the tariff which they have
over their opponents, whe insist that the
protection ol American inuustry is the
chief obi'-ct to be aimed at. These are
the antagonistic principle involved upon
.
which, respectively, as the one or the
other pr vails, the schedules of a laritl'
are constructed.
Whv. then, should any Democrat in
sist in the face of adverse experience, up
on a refinement of the principle upon
which his nartv is agreed, and a more
precise definition of tne dogma which
everybody understand? There is a fair,
square issue between the parties why
complicate it? We have been gratiticu
lately to see that certain of our contem
poraries who at tirst insisted on the use
of the same phrase '-a taritf for revenue
only" which was incorporated in toe
Cincinnati platform, .eeiii willing to fore
go it, and adjt other lauguage, of course
without any abandonment of principle on
their part, and we are sanguine that such
wiil be the sense of the whole party when
the time comes to formulate their views
upon the taritf question We would not
it' this matte; was being discussed for the
first time, object in the least to the use
ot the words employed at Cincinnati, but
they have been falsely interpreted to
mean free trade, and that is their popular
significance to-day. They, therefore, are
not to be used as the battle-crv of the
Democratic party, because they do not
fairly represent its aims while they do
serve to recruit the ranKs of its enemies
The party is not half so badly divid. d up
on this o" any other question as tiie Re
publicans, and therefore it would be sui
cidal to make unnecessary issues. Let
common sense prevail in its councils and
all will be well."
INTERNAL REVENUE REGULATIONS.
The regulations prescribed by the
Internal Rcrenue Department for
preparing claims for rebate of the
taxes on tobacco, snuff and cigars
hell by dealers on the 1st day of
May, prox.. provides that such
claims must be prepared on that day
upon blanks to be furnished by the
department, which will be sent out
prior to that date ; that each package
of tobacco or snutf weighing one
pound or more and each box of cigars
shall have pasted thereon a label in
these words, to-wit :
: United States Internal Revenue. :
: REBATE. j
: Inventoried for Rebate May 1, 1S83. :
By j
of. of the...;...... :
I District of ;
i Act of March 3. 1883.
These labels will be furnished by
the Collector of Internal Revenue
and it is suggested that parties de-
siring more than ten write at once tojin
the Collectors for them. It is the
intention of the Collector of this dis-
trict to send ten labels to each deal
er in tobacco; if more are needed
they should be ordered from him.
As these claims must be made cn
May 1st, it is important that dealers
should be fully prepared to inventory
and prepare their claims on that day.
The Rebate applies only to lull fac
tory packages. Rebate on tobacco
artd snurT is eiuht cents per pound ;
on c gars three dollars per thousand ;
on cigaretts one dollar and twenty
fivt, cents per thousand. The aggre
gate of the claim must amount to ten
dollars or more.

ard was an honest, good man, and
many friends will be pained to hear
of his death The fire escape in
vented and patented by our former
townsman, R. S. Dashiell is coming
into general note as a really effective
appliance for removing persons from
a burning building.' It is recommend
ed by heads of fire departments, and
will, we think, before long come into
very general use The government
of the town is now in the hands of
the Democrats. or, more precisely
speaking, will be in a very short
time, and the people have a right
to expect a wise and economical ad
ministration of the. municipal affairs.
We aie confident that their expecta

How to Know an Editor. A
young lady friend asks: "How can
I tell an editor when I see him ?'
Why, bless your, sweet, sparkling
eyes, it is the easiest thing in the
world. You can tell him by his
august air, by the perfect fit of his
clothing, by hi elegance of manner,
and his profound silence when sur
rounded by the common herd of pro
miscuous society, xou may recog
nize him by the way he spends his
money, scattering greenbacks as lav
lslily as shavings from a planing
mac ui tie. He generally drives
double team to a park buggy and
makes things hum- He also keeps
setters, pointers and a pet bull-dog
with a brunette nose. He is decked
in profusion with the most expensive
jewelry, and sports a gold-headed
cane with a rose soltaire in the cen
tre. He is as modest as a schoo
gin". But the thief point is, he always
speaks the tiuth. hollow tnese di
