Atf, investigation has led to the arrest uf ' several parties, who hare been robbing the government through the Custom House- at New Yor'aV 'Among thoso implicated are soma employes, importers and brokers. New York 'is' not the only point where fraud is ilftiog the government out of its .cash, as a thc-rongh investigation will show. v The press and people of North Carolina have been discussing the Fublio Road question for nuny years, aud to-day the system of working the roads is the same, and the roads are as bail at. ever. We believe the question has been discus sed long enough, and would suggest that iho best methods for working public roads be sent before the Legislature at its next ;" meeting, and that soma law be made where - by tho' reads may ba worked ijd kept iu passable order. ; r The Rockingham Kocket says: "" "A kentlemau ' from Upper Richmond .was in conversation with tLe editor of the Rocket ,8o.ae days aeo when fie turned his artillery upon ibe I), inocratic party Tor what he styled its failure to bring 'relief to the people'.11'; This gentleman has always voted the Democratic ticket but now comes out and wftota to know what that party has ever dorm for the tate." The Spirit of the heath: kafps standing. . ; The Democratic parity fjrsi and foremost resetted the-'StatH .from the clutches of a set of harpi 'K, who bad piundertd and well nigh mined her people, aud were even tnou waging "civil wa. on the people of some of, her eotHities;. Was it nothing to stop the IXirk'w'ar and send his cut throat back whence they came ? U na it nothing to shakeou the hoktof battlefield,. Deweese aud tLeic pais in robbery and jobbery. Having freed the people from tbos.s in iquities, they bailt up the' public schools aud established a good system of schools for the people. They have also established asylums and taken from the jails the pJor insane aud housed and fed them I hey have administered the State affairs economically, honestly, and iu th intetest cf trie people. There has uot been a dollar of public money lost a orth Carolina ia tweuty years. ' ' They 'havi; built rajhofids, and so man aged affairs that tha raiiroad mileage has more than doubled without a cent of- tax ation to' fhe p6t'ple. Tliey have utilized the convict labor and bave.jMtibs'-antiallv -made the penitentiary Belf-suppdrtiog.' They have maintained in the comities aud iu the towns honest, care ful, frugal and tfiloient local government. They , have kept order iu the Btate and administered justice iu the courts, and the .people have tn joyed repose and thtdr homt'B haye been happy and the jr lives peaceful. Uhey have not invaded the liberties of the people, nor impaired their freedom, uor jnttrferwi with their right to plant and sow v aud reap, as they will That is the rijjht of facb individual man. The Democratic party has not abridged it. When we consider these things, it ap' pears that the Democratic party ha doue all that a parry can dc for the peopie at thtir homes. At ashii gton the party has never bad th power to do what it desired to do. But it has reduced expenses ; it has light (Bued taxation ; it has reduced the tobuCco tax aDd changed the revenue kw ; estab lished economy when it had control of the iIouKf'..f liepresehiatives ; aud it has pre vented the pasHageof wicked and bad laws, such, for instance, as the act enforcing hociul .eytiiilit.y between the races, and pperri9f- tb's. fchools the churches, the bote's and all public places to the races fiiike. It has ajso prevented ihe passage or acts nt Congress which would have required North Carolina tto pay th'a fraudulent t-petiil tax bonds.' It has al...o prevented .the , parage of acts Hka tbe Force bill. Are net these thiDgs something dona for the people ?

Thie led me to investigate thg subject further, and I have tried since to iead nil the current literature bearing ijppn the subject thut I could find My reading an t study have brought me to th sincere and decided conclusion that the financial prob lem is f the first importance anions' th issues that must be settled by the American people. In this view I find niyeif comer dice w ith Alliance and non-Alliance Dem ocrats in tho State. Iu January, 1887. I attended the Acrl cultural pdiivention in lialegu,; presided over by Uou.

The people of North .Carolina v may be assured While I claim tha . right of my ladiridtial A iews, I stand ready totnake any sacrifice to prevent the disruption of the Democratic party. And if I may be permitted Jto make a suggestion, without criticism, to Alliance and uon alliance Democrats in the interest of harmony, it would be to carry out what I intended at the last meetjng uf the Siato executive committee, to reoouimend to the differeut county conventions, with as little variation as pos-iblc, the otate platform of 18SJ0, aud regulate all our differences of a national character to the different Cougres. sional vcouventioQ9 fts this c.ass of redef mu -t come through he channel Of Congres and these areth political bodies that should bt impress! with the Importance of relief on the line indicated.
