TftE DEMOCRAT. E. E. HILLIAKD, - - - - Editor. Published Every Thursday. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 15, "M. Entered at the Pott-Office at Scotland Neck, N. C, as Second Class Matter. FARMERS AND PEANUTS. WHY IS MR. JIESRY LEFT OUT? MR. SIMMONS REPLIES. Edward Atkinson's recent, letter about peanut, which The Demockat hastened to publish a? .oon a? it came out, has attracted much attention. The Fiibiect of peanut culture will be more carefully studied now than it has been. In fact, it begin to look like there is a great deal of money in pea nuts fur some one. And as The Dem ocrat takes every advanced f-tep pos sible in the interest of the farmers, it gives, as far as possible, circulation to whatever it conceives to be to their best interest. There U undoubtely big money in peanuts and the closer the farmer can get down to the independent handling of this product, the nearer will he come to getting the money out of them which he is entitled to. Wi.h this in view, we print on our first page of this issue an article on peanuts, by Judge Walter Clark, of the Supreme Court, and call the attention of farmers to the valuable suggestions it contains. It is quite reasonable for the farmers of every com in unity to establish a fac tory for cleaning peanuts, and accord ing to Judge Clark's figures, it will cost eomparativcly very little. Let farmers investigate the matter and do it in a business-like way. It will do no good to "talk it over" with neigh- lors and stop there. Talk it over in dead earnest ness such earnestness as will mean action. See the great and abundant supplies in this section ! It is almost impossible toleliee the facts about the great change that lias come over this com munity during the past four years. Then, think what would be the still better condition of our farmers it, ad ded to their abundant home supplies, they could get just twice as much for their peanuts. They Avould be able to The Democrat has all the while de- pay back debts and then have a ur- j,iored the estrangement that seems to plus. The Democrat believes it is have sprung up between our two Sen- It is well known to the people of North Carolina that the Hon. W. R. Henry made a most aggressive fight for democracy in the last campaign. It was thought and so cxpresiied in many part of the state, that his tariff speeches were most masterful. They were indeed powerful. As to wether his fight against the tariff was a wise and well directed one, the action of the i lower house oi Congress in passing the ! new tariff bill, speaks in no uncertain tones. It was thought all over the state that Mr. Henry would receive one of the first appointments given to North Car olina. But time has dragged heavily along and there has been no appoint ment for him yet. He has expected an appointment and his friends have expected him to receive it, but it seems that all are doomed to disap pointment. The Democrat, with many others of Mr. Henry's friends, asks, Why has he uot recieved his ap pointment? Why have his claims been ignored so long? Is he to receive no appointment? Then why does not Mr. Cleveland or Senator Ramson, or some one so inform him and let him know the fact, if a tact it must be? Rut let it not be a fact. The ad ministration cannot afford to ignore such work as Mr. Henry did in the campaign of 1S92 and hope to recieve the endorsement of fair-minded men, be they democrats, republicans or what not. We grant it may not iiave been easy or expedient to give Mr. Henry the appointment for which he asked and his friends as well ; but there were numerous appointments that it seems our Senators might have some influence over, some of which could have been given to Mr. Henry long ago. It is high time some one should let Mr. Henry know what he is to expect ; and if he is to receive an appointment let him have it, and if not let him know it. VANCE OPPOSES SIMMONS. ... . . r ,1 possible lor tr.e larmers to iorce inem- .jtor3 jn Congress selves from the peanut oppression by establishing factories as Judge Clark suggests. THE TARIFF VICTORY The New York Herald, which is generally level-headed, and gives good and weighty opinions on almost all passing events, the next day after the passage of the tariff bill by the House, headed its leading editorial article, i4A Perilous populist Victory." Under this heading the Herald used some very strong expressions and really and lias never re ferreci to it before, and we do it now only as a matter of news. It seems to have grown out of misunderstand ings al)ont the appointment of Revenue Collectors and terminates in Senator Vance strongly opposing Mr. Simmons for collector of the Eastern District, as is shown in the following letter from Senator Vance to the Asheville Citizen Tampa Bay Hotel, Tampa, Fla..

Very truly, yours, Z. B. Vance. In Sunday's Observer-Chroniete, Mr. Simmon's says: "Senator Vance, in a letter to the Asheville Citizen, dated February 5, 189, and published in your issue of vesterday, declared himself opposed to my confirmation for the alleged reason that as Chairman of the Democratic Executive Cornnittie of this state, I wont ti Washington and interfered with and defeated the appointment of Mr. Hale to a high grade foreign position, and of Mr. Gudger for Collec tor of Internal Kevenue, ana sec urea m lis Ptead the appointment of Mr. Eha . . - - r whom he antagonized. In view oi his specific and public statement by the Senator on the grounds of his ou- osition to mv confirmation, I am con strained to lxilieve it proper for me to make a statement of my connection wi.h the appointments referred to by urn that those interested may judge wether I have transcended my rights on the one hand or ursurjed the pre rogative of the Senate on the other. Both as a citizen and as Chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee, I was, on account of their acknowled ged fitness and eminent party services, ardently in favor of the appointment of Mr. Glenn for Attorney of the West ern district and of Messrs. Jernigan, Robbins and Henrv for the best obtain able positions in the ioreign service of the Government. Some of these gent- emen had appealed to me in very' ur gent terms to go to Washington in their behalf. I cheerfully yielded to their solicitations in this respect be cause I thought they deserved the re cognition they sought as a reward for honorable and faithful public services, and I felt they had the right to call upon me as the chairman of the Ex ecutive Committee of their party to assist them to that end, to such extent as I might be able. I was opposed, as was also Senator Vance, to Mr. Julias for District Attorney, but I was not opposed to Mr. Gudger for collector. I iiad taken no part in the contest lor the latter position, and the appoint ment of Mr. Gudger would have been entirely satisfactory to me. Mr. Hale had requested me to endorse him lor the tosition of Consul General to lxn don a position which pays about $50,000 per annum, I am informed, and 1 had not complied with his request, because I did not think him entitled to absorb all the patronage in this service which might be accorded to North Carolina. This was the position which I occupied with reference to these gentlemen when I called upon Mr. Cleveland and the Assistant Secretary of State, Josiah Quincy. I had no communication with Senator Ransom concerning the appointment of either Gudger or Hale, and did not then know nis attitude to wards them nor towards Elias, except that he was opposed to him for Dis trict Attorney. When I went to the White House I I did not expect to allude to the con test over the collectorship. I went simply to advocate Mr. Glenn and the other gentlemen first named and did so with warmth and ardor. I spoke of Mr. Glenn's opponent, Mr. Elias, in such high terms of praise as I thought then, and now think him entitled to re ceive. When Mr. Gudger was men tioned, I spoke of him in equally high terms of praise, I became satisfied how ever, before the interview closed that the President would appoint Mr. Ellas either District Attorney or Collector and m response to a question, 1 ex pressed the opinion that there was a more general crystahzation oi sen it ment in favcr of Mr. Glenn for District Attornev than there was for Mr. Gud- srer for Collector, there being at that time quite a number of strong can didates for the latter position and for this reason. I expressed the belief that there would be greater disappointment in the partv if Mr. Gudger was appoint ed Collector. I did not advocate the appointment of Mr. Elias nor oppose the appointment of Mr. Gudger for collector. In all I said or did in this behalf, I was actuated by no thought or pur pose of antagonism to Senator Vance or favoritism to Senator Ransom, for I then regarded both as my friends but I was moved and influenced purely and simply by what I thought to be my duty to the party in the interest of har mony and right. With reference to Mr. Hale and his aspirations for a high grade foreign ap pointment, I will state generally and briefly,' that I have never advocated him for any position, and I have in the exercise of my right or personal opinion at all times denied his claim to precedence over all otner i ortn Caro linians ia the distribution cf the foreign patronage of the government. During my cuierence with the President (I have had but one with him Rnice t he elect ion) the claims of Jernigan, Robbins and Henry were dis cussed, but nothing was said about Mr. Hale. During my stay in Wash ington on this visit, I called upon Assistant Secretary Quincy twice, once of my own accord and the second time at his suggestion. On the occasion of my first, visit, made solely for the purpose of urging the recognition of Messrs. Jernigan, Robbins and Henry, I was told by him that it had been suggested and claimed that Mr. Hale ought to have the next best place in the foreign service given to North Carolina. From this claim I dissented and expressed the opinion that he was not entitled to precedence over such gentlemen as Robbins, Jer nigan aud Henry, and that it would be unjust to set aside the men who had borne the heat and burden of the fight, then just ended in victory for Mr. Hale. I knew of nothing in his polit cal career which entitled him to such paramount consideration and I believed and said if he were appointed over these gentlemen it would create dis satisfaction in the party. In taking this position I acted from a sense of duty to the party and without feeling personal to anyone. This is the sum of the facts of my so-called interference with these appointments. Senator Vance says my tone has been defiant and insulting to him. He has been misinformed. I have neither privately nor publicly given forth any utterance which could make me amenable to this charge. I have no desire to make an issue with Senator Vance regarding my right to express an opinion to the President, whether of advocacy or op position to the claims of an aspirant from this state for a Federal position requiring senatorial - confirmation. That is not the issue made by the facts in this case. But I do insist and main tain tnat I had a j-erfect ncht to do what I did. and in so doing it, I did not in intent, either usurp or invade the rights of tho Senators from this state. Yours truly. F.

It has been truly said that half the world doe not know how tne other ives. Comparatively few of us have Ierfect health, owing to the impure condition of our blood. But we rub along from day to day, with scarcely a thought, unless forced to our attention, of the thousands all alxnt us who are suffering from scrofula, .alt rheum and other blood disorders, and whose ago nies can only be imagined. The mark ed success of Hood.s Sarsaparilla for these troubles, as shown in our adver tising columns frequently, certainly ;eems to justify urging the use of this excellent medicine bv all who know that their blood is disordered. Every claim in behalf of Hood's Sarsaparilla is fully backed up by what the medi cine has done and is still doing, and when its proPr,otorH urge its merits and its use upon all who suffer from lm jmre blood, in great or small degrees, they certainly mean to include you.
