We give up editoral space this week for the letter of Hon. Wayne McVeaph, of Pennsylvania, who was Attorney-General under President Garfield. He has been a life-lons Republican, but the force bill and the McKinley bill have turned him from the Republican to the Democratic party. The Democrat considers this let ter one of the clearest and strongest exponents of democratic doctrine yet given to the public. Everv sentence is a gem. We wish every man in North Carolina, white and black, could read this let ter. When you have read it, read it carefully again, and then hand it to some one who has not read it. The people of North Carolina have three weeks more in which to make up iheir minds to a choice be tween democratic and republican rule. Georgia roiled up the modest dem ocratic majority last week of 70,000 The wave is coming and it will sweep over North Carolina on November 8tb. Third party men are coming back to the democratic fold all over the land. White republicans North and colored people South are declaring for democracy . We shall sweep In on November 8th. Hon, F. A. Woodard is making a strong canvass and is winning friends on all sides. He is coufident that he will be the next Congress man from this district. So are we all. The Democrat acknowledges re ceipt of an invitation to the celebra tion of the 100th anniversary of the City of Raleigh Oct. 1821. Raleign will pat on her best clothes and the Centennial will be truly a gala occasion and the whole State properly takes interest in it. A "Balm in Gilead" for you by taking Simmons Liver Regulator for your disea sed liver. WHAT FURCHES SAID. Farches, the Republican candidate 4-1. a citnntinn for Governor, gare tuCg away m a speech at Morganton a few days ago. He said that tne ue- publican party i sure of success this time, because the Third py w,l! take 25,000 Totes from tee libido. crats and that will open tbe way for the Republicans to wal in. Exactly ! That i34what The Democrat has all tbe wbile told tbe Third part people, For every vote cast for the Third party ticket makes tbe chnce for Republican rule stronger, and any coneiderab'e number of totes caav that way will.make Republican suc cess sure. This Is what Furchos said himself, and was loudly cheered by the Republicans. Ttiird party friend, pause on.thebrink of the political ruin of yonrstate and nation! Will you make the fatal step, by casting your vote against the beat interest of your country, and not only go down yourself into tut awful abyso below, but carry your wife and your children who are dear er to you than your own lifer An freeman, pause. Take your bearing. See where you stand. .Look down into the dark, deep gulf before you. Hear in the near future the echo of your own wail for the mistake you are about to make by casting your ballot against your own freedom ant. in favor of galling fetters and chain- that shall bind your hands and clank about your feet 1 Look back. Behind j you is a ray of hope coming as the morning dawn from the sun of Dem. ocracy, in whose full mellow flood you may yet bask and enjoy your God-given berth-night of prosperity. In the name of the freedom which has been our birthright for a century; in the name of tbe homes and fire-side around which cling our strongest and only affections of earth; in the name and for the sake of our wives and children whose lives are our own: in the name of prosperity that await every section of this great and fait land and especially the South in the name of all these things and ail else we hold dear, let us all stand together in this supreme hour of our peril and this vital struggle for liberty aed brand with our most withering contempt the secret and open boasi of oar common enemy, the Repub. lican party, that through our division they will slide into power. What Furches said about the State holds good for Harrison as to tbe United States. A vote for Exum helps Furches and a vote for Weaver helps Jiarnson, and why men can't see it is the wonder to us. How Many at Rocky Mount? Tiie Democrat, in its report of the Weaver and Lease meeting at Rocky Mount, estimated the crowd at 3,500, and some Third party peo pie have said they thought our esti mate too low. The Rocky Mount correspondent to the Wilmington Messenger esti mated tbe crowd at 3,000. The Rocky Mount correspondent to the Richmond Dispatch estimated them at 2,000. The Wilson Mirror, whost editor was on the gronnd, gave the general estimate from 2,000 to 5,000 The Goldsboro Headlight , whos editor was there and acted as special reporter for the Associated Pres-, pnt the crowd at 3,000 and said they were about equally divided between Demoorats, Third-partyites and ne groes. The Tarboro Southerner says the general estimate of the crowd b conservative Third party men was 4,000. It says also, as did The Demcorat, substantially, "On all sides could be heard disapproval of a woman engaging in such a cam paign". The Rocky Monnt Argonaut esti mates tbe crowd at 3,500, exactly the figures Tiie Democrat gave . The Progressive Farmer said 10,000 to 12,000. Tbe Tarboro Advocate put the crowd from 5,000 to 6,000. The Rocky Mount Phoenix esti mated the crowd at 6,000 and said that Mrs. Lease spoke two hour9. She spoke as near as we could tell by a good time-piece exactly an hour and five minutes. The Phoenix must have become very tired with her speech to call one hour two. Altogether, we are confident that our estimate was as nearly correc as aDyj and the majority of tho3 who expressed themselves agreed with us. POISONED BY SCROFULA Is the sad story of many lives made miserable through no fault of their own Scrofula is more especially than any other a hereditary disease, and lor this simple reason: Arising from impure ane insufficient blood, the disease locates it self in the lymhatics, which are composed of white tissue: there is a period of foetal life when the whole body consisis of white tissues, and therefore the unborn child is especially susceptible to this dreadlul disease, But there is a remedy for scrofula, whether hereditary or acquired. It is Hood's Sarsaparilla, which by its powerful effect on the blood, expels all trace of the disease and gives to the vital fiaid the quality and color o! health. If you decide to take Hood's Saraaprilla do not accept any substitute. STROM j REASONING. I WAYNE EIcVEAGH'S LETTER. Hon. Wayoe MeVea, ill. of i'-nn- y,'7an;n ha- written a letter to the Secretary of Mar-acbuettes lie fomi Club, setting forth bin leasons tor ieiv;ri the Republican prty Hid joiiuuf; the Democratic party. Following is hi? letter: Your cordial invitation to address the citizens of Boston on tbe issues of tiie estiva..-, happens to reach me j;it when professional engagements pievent my naming a time when 1 can do so, but you are quite ripi. iu concluding that I intend to vote for Mr. Cleveland. Entertaining the convictions 1 do no other course is open to me. and I cut ei fully accord to the support ers or President Harrison the t-ame sense of public duty by which 1 claim to be actuated. As both parties have presented unexceptionable candidates there is no reason why the differences wli.eh exist upon questions ot public policy should be discussed otherwise than in good humor and with entire re spect for each other's opinions. In the present campaign, what may fairly be called the false alarms of the canvass will prove of little value, because of the general couli dence in the safe and conservative character of both candidates. The average voter knows that free trade is impossible in this country, for the conclusive reason that the vast revenues now required to meet the expenses of the government will necessarily afford a lar higher de gree of protection to oor established and prosperous manufacturers than either Alexander Hamilton or Henry Clay thought desirable in the infancy of our weak and strug gllng industries. I be average voter also kuows that tbe irredeemable paper cur rency in use before the war can never reappear. On the other hand, he knows as well that no system of duties on imports, however in equitable, can prevent our continu ed growth in wealth, in manufac tures and in population a growth due to the incomparable gifts ol Providence, tbe intelligence and energy ot the people ana tbe olessings of free institutions. Wbile I am more than ever re solved to bold duty to country far ... . - r - aoovc any lies oi parcy, i mid my- selt at present m general accord with the dpmocratic party and willing to trust its course in the luture. 1 be insight, tbe courage and the patriotism the masses of tbe party exhibited in compelling the nomination of Mr. Cleveland when be was without a single office holder to support his candidacy seem to me to demand that 1 should meet them in tbe same spirit and act with them as long as they main tain that high standard of policy and ot administration It is tiie more eay to do so be cause the republican party, secur uig its return to power tour years ago by promising to preserve mat ters as they were, at ence embark ed upon what I regard as a reckless and revolutionary policy, even overturning an tne saieguards ot legislation in the House of Repre sentatives in their baste to pass the Force bill and the McKinley bill, both, to my mind, unnecessary ant unwise measures The opposition to tbe Foice bill, as not only sure to create far great er evns man it can cure, nut as also subversive of the rights of tbe . it A m States, has become so earnest anc widespread that it is said to have been abandoned; but it musi not be forgotten that only two years ago such a measure was warmly advo cated by President Harrison, ear neatly supported by the republican paity and very narrowly escaped becoming a law. There is no pretence, however, that the McKinley bill is aoandon- ed. On tbe contrary, our express approval of it is demanded. No doubt that bill, which I cannot but think was an uncalled lor distur- banco of the then existing tariff. greatly benefited a few interests, out certainly it greatly oppressed many others Of the protected industries them selves, many were then, as now, iu far more urgent need of free raw materials than of higher protection; but with raw materials on the free list tbe bill could not have passed for those having such materials for sale controlled enough votes to de feat it, and they were very likly to do so if their bounties were discon tinued. The manufacturers needing free raw materials were therefore oblig ed to join in tbe objectionable pro cess of increasing prices by restrict ing production, thus adding to the number of trusts by which the price of the necessaries of life is placed at the mercy ot unlawful combina tions of capital. It is not surprising that labor, believing itself to be oppressed, soon rose in revolt, and civil war lias actually raged this summer in lour different sections of the country. And, of course, tbe farmers, paying more lor what they buy and getting less for what they sell, grow poorer day by day, and excellent farms in some of the most fertile sections of tbis most highly protected State will hardly bring the cost of tbe buildings upon them. But the economic evils, however gieat, ot the McKinley bill, and the unreasonable system ot protection it represents, are ol far less import ance to my miud than the moral evils which follow in their wake. In deciding tor what purposes tbe masses of the people may properly be taxed, it must not be forgotten that taxes have a wonderful ca pacity tor filtering through all In tervening obstacles till they reach tbe bowed back of toil and resting there, ard therefore the giving ot ! bonntie.', under any form of taxation ! ;, oinir thp f ivin;-. awav of tLe wages of labor.

It seems to me iike a travesty o'i U vation to require, as the McKmU bill does, the farmer who gtow.s com in Indiana to pay ; bounty to the farmer who produces caue sugar m Louisiana, or to require the farmer wno grows wheat m Peuub'3 lvania to pay a bounty to the ; farmer who produces maple sugar in Vermont; but it is nearer tragedy than tiavesty totax the masses ol the people to increas the wealth ol , tbe very wealthy own-.rs of most ot our protected industries. Hut even such inequality and in justice are the least ol its evils, for while such a system endures politi cal corruption is absolutely sure to increase, as such a system not only invites but it requires the corrupt' use of money, both at the polls aud in Congress. It Ir of its very es sence that "fat" shall be "fried'' out ot its beneficiaries. Who shall happen to do the "iryiug" or who shall happen to distribute the "fat"' upon any parti- ular occasion is a mere matter of detail, Out while that system lasts both will continue to be done by somebody. And the evils ot a s stem of legib- lative bounties, so far from stop ping, only begiQ with thoe boun ties secured to the industries pro tected by the tariff. The disas trous course of the republican party on the silver question is au apt il lustration of this truth. It ought to be an honest money party, and it would be it it could, but while it demanded increased bounties for its favorite manufac turers it could not refuse increased bounties to the silver producers, as the votes they control w-re p:ob- ably necessary to the passage ot the McKinley bill. So situated tbe republican party bad no alternative but to pass the Silver law ol 1800, doubliug the purchases of silve and requiring tbe building of more warehouses in which to stoie the uselss metal. The total purchaes made by tbe government amount to hundreds of millions ot dollars and would not realize, if resold, one-half their cost, while the poison of a debased currency, whose work, however slow, is sure, is making itself daily more aud more felt iu every channel of business aud finance and is inevitably driving gold out of the country and leading us to all the evils of a fluctuating and therefore dishonest curiency ba-ed upon silver alone i he republican party cannot take any ell'ectivb steps toward repeal ing twe bill, lor tne silver men are very likely, if their bounty is stop ped, to so vote that tbe bounties of the McKinley bill will stop also. The abuses of the pension system furnish another apt illustration of tbe evils sure to follow such system of legislation. If Congress was to levr taxes upon the people to confer bounties upon certain classes of manufacturers it was very natural that the pension agents should also join bands to increase their fees by an indiscriminate granting of pensions. The result is that nearly a gen eration after tbe close of the war there is a steady increase of the vast sums passing through the pension agents' hands, until novv the total amount staggers belief, and has become of itself a very serious burden upon the Treasury. From the day of Lee's surrender un il cow no single voice has ever been raised against the most gener ous provision for every person who had any just claim upon the gratitude of the country; but surely there is neither reason nor justice in legisla tion which destroys all distinction betweeu the discharge of duty and the shirking of it, between loyal service and desertion of the colors, between wounds received in battle an.l diseases contracted in the pur suits of peace. There is still another ereat and increasing evil chiefly traceable, in my opinion, to the maintenance of an excessive tariff since the war aud the constant meddling with it to make it higner, and that is the bring ing to our shors of those vast swarms of uudesirable immigrants who de grade American labor by their com petition and threaten the stability ot institutions based upon aa intelligent love of country. Just as the duties upon imported merchandise have been increased, so has the grade of imported labor been lowered, until now, under the Mc Kinley bill, there are coming Uere every month many thousands of more ignorant and therefore less de sirable laborers than ever before. Jt Is not easy to exaggerate the moral evils they are likely to iofl;ct upon our social order and our national life. As the republican party is now definitely committed to the policy of taxing the people for the purpose of giving bounties to such persons or interests as can secure the necessary votes in Cougress, so the democratic party i now as definitely committed to the policy of restricting taxation to the needs cf the government for public purposes alone. The gulf fixed between these two policies of taxation Is as wide and deep as can well exist between political parties, and I am also convinced that the old vaueesin which 1 am interested can not hope for success until the a vowed policy ol the republican party on this subject is overthrown.
