When tlio recent convention met at Chicago, the representatives of the Democratic party wore united and zealous in their devotion to tariff re form, and f nil of the confidence born of many victories freshly won under its banner. Thev expected a clear and courageous statement of funda mental party priuciplo and of the party's attitude to existing laws. The resolution as reported by the com- mittee lelt notning 10 oe uesireu on the latter head, but instead of the former contained a preliminary para graph or two, in which, with much that was admirable, appeared some of the farmiliar but now unsatisfac tory phrases of the make shift of 1884. The convention, with very slight protest from tho committee on platform, took the risk of striking out these phrases and their setting and of inserting in place of them a clear declaration of fundamental party doctrine. The inserted words are: ' "We denounce Republican protec tion as a fraud, a robbery of the great majority of the American people for the benefit of the few. We declare it to be a fundamental principle of the Democratic party that the Feder al government has no constitutional Sower to impose and collect tariff ntios except for the purpose of reve nue only, and demand that the col lection of such taxes shall be limited to the necessities of the government tionestly and economically adminis tered." v-V '.. ' - - This is no new doctrine. It is a return to the frank and explicit dec- aration of 1876 and 1880, showing that the party is now ready to avow in the thickest of battle what it then avowedbefore the combat opened. The democratic party has always maintained the principle that the power to impose and collect taxes in aid of any private enterprise is be yond tho scope of legislation, and doesnot pass, unaorireogovernmenr, even with the general grant of legis lative power. This doctrine has been upheld,- in a long series of decisions in the State and Federal courts, when efforts have been made tousotho tax ing power in the States for other than public or revenue purposes. The principle is tho same when Con gress undertakes to 'impose and col- ect tarin auues in am ui private enterprise or for the support , oi Special luuu&mea, uui niwo w uv way in which the question can be raised, for tho law imposing them always appears on its face to be a law to raise revenue, ana courts cannot nquire into the motives of Congress in passing it. Even Mr. Randall, in his speech in the House,' in 1892, on the Tariff Commission Bill, said . "I do not favor a tariff enacted on the ground of protection for tResake of protection, because I doubt tho existence of any constitutional war rant for any such construction, or the p-rant of anv such power." The denial of the right of the fed era! corernment to "impose ana collect" tariff duties for the sake protection is merely saying in a dif ferent form of words that under the government of equal rights there can be no class legislation. It is, there lore, in effect, but a rc-statemont -o the position takenjby the party in 1876 and in 1886. and it docs not necessarily imply any radical depar turo from the methods of tariff re duct ion, to which it was deemed best to give more prominence in 1884, than to the great principle that de manded such reduction. There is need for little comment upon the paragraphs of the report of the committee which were stricken out in convention. , They , were no longer aids, but incumbrances in the fight. The temper and the courage of the party are mightily different in 1893 from what they were m 1884 ; what was necessary prudence then would be cowardice now. The con vention responded fully and heartily to the feelings of the party it repre sented. It showed its confidence in tariff reform as the great and winning issue by its nomination of Mr. Uleve land in the face of warnings that would have driven it from a man who did not also stand for a cause. It meant that there should bo noth ing ambiguous about the party's at titude to that cause, and that the statement of Its fundamental princi pie should not be overlaid with cumulative limitations. And in all this tho convention wa9 right. We have passed that stage, in the great tariff controversy where it is necessary or proper to cumber party platforms wun limitations anu promises aim protests. After the Milli bill and the special bills passed by the ' present House! it is superfluous to assure the people that the democratic party will proceed carefully and conservatively in reducing the tariff. , In dealing with this as every other long stand ing abuse interwoven with our social or industrial system, the statesman will alwas remember that in the be ginning temperate reform is safest, having in it the principlo of growth. -Extract from Hon. W. I-.. Wilson in North American Review. POLITICAL POINTS. Supposing Mr. Harrison were to "modif his views" f the Force bill. Would the country be willing to trust him, bearing in mind that it was a pet measure of his, and that in his latest speeches he advised every body to obey the laws, no matter how bad or unjust they might be ? Louisville Con. rier Journal. N The third party is right when it says labor's demand must bo won at the polls. Butthethirdhlyiia not the agency to bring about thewtieeded reforms. The Democracy is the party to assist "the under dog in the fight," and a vote at the polls for Demooracy means a vote in favor of improving the condition of the laborer. Savannah News. - Whitelaw Raid has recently been speak. ins in the West. He stated that Madison and Washington fayored a protective tariff. He is right, but the protective tariff they favered was strictly for "infant industries," and they justly regarded it as a tx of Trom If to 17 pereent. Even Henry Clay never advooated over 20 to 30 per cent These old statesmen would turn over in their graves if they knew that the . people were taxed 60 to 70 per cent, and that they were quoted as endorsing such a system. iiorth Carolinian, Balcigh.

It will be read with great interest throughout North Carolina, and furnishes it wholesome food for sober reflection to erring democrats who have gone off with the nurd party. AN OPEN LETTER. To Dr. W. P. Exum, People's Party . Candidate for Governor of North Carolina : My Dbab Sir ; Aftor looking carefully over the field, I find every argument against ne iemoorauo party iaise. I looked carefully through the "political uoauer- and l una tnat the Republican party is responsible for all the bad lawn and only occasionally has a Democrat voted lor any ox these bad laws. The Republican party passed all tha had acts ef fluancial legislation which we hava had since 1860. namely those aots'explamed in tne "seven financial censnirafiiW sn trutnluUy by Mrs. Emery, and when tLcse measures went through Congress every uraacu was JxepuDiican. Uneefthe leading facts our reformers now advocate is that this legislation has been more harmful than even the iniquit uua juvinniTn icuiu lawa, VI W fllUO m He publioan party is also the anthor and wwhMAtiWA tn.' M 1 n C advocate. When Mrs. Emery's eloquence shook the faith of the western Benublicana in their party, I am of the opinion that the enjoinmeat snouia nave been, go to the Democratic party whioh has so earnestly opposed tnese conditions that now crush tne laborer and farmer to almost a half. existing atate of livelihood. It the reformers now divide en the verce of victory, is it not suicide and especially o when they are to look to the Republican party lor assistance, and that oartv tha acknowledged author of all the evils of wliicu we complain f ' I see so many dangers ahead that I tram. we ror tne aeatiuy cf our State under the existing political ooudition of affairs. lhe Republicans are now taking a census or me voters to rind out our strength in the following way : uirrt. lo know how many People s partv men we have that have been Demoorats. Second. How maav will return to the Democratic fold in oase thev eive us a three-cornered fight. Now if thev are assured of a viotorv to fight their own battle, they rejoice al our division and will take advantage of the same. But as the last resort they will sup porc the People's party tioket, and a viotory with their support will be a blank victory for reform and only leave ua at iheir merov in-1896. Hence the very came lion that pulls our lead in 1802 will turn on ua and devour us in 1896. And I sec that victory for us now is a viotorv for the ReDublican party in 1896, with the strong probability of their coming in the field in the eleventh hoar this year even and oarrvias the State by reason of the People's party. tv nue x regret to te seemingly untrue to my friends in the People's partv there is a duty moro sacred than personal, friendship, and that duty ia to go into the cause that calls the patriotic- sons of North Carolina to the standard bt-arers of Democracy, and under this banner I am not only trne to my friends but to all other citizeus of my State, because Democracy is the true friend of all the people the masses. : . ; I surrender all political ambitions or prospects for what I conceive to be a more sacred duty.1 viz: voting the Democratic ticket, and thereby proving mybelf faithful to the best interests of my State and coun try.. - .-. . : -: - ;;. I assure you of my personal friendship. and also regretting everything that shall prove detrimental to you personally. , But assure you that the same motives that caused me to be your political advocate, cause mo, upon acourate investigation, to be true to the party that opposes the great evils that now afflict us. .

WEAVER'S BRUTAL CRUELTY TESTIMONY OF ONE WHO WITNES SED IT IN TENNESSEE. Tallapoosa, Ga., August 23. To the editor of the Atlanta Journal: . I see in yeur issue of Saturday, the 20th inst., au extract from a letter written by an old citizen f Pulaski, Tenn.; also a oopy oi a cupping irom me uues county Demo. orat of the 20th of July, charging General VY eaver, the People's party candidate for president with beastly cruelty towards ' the citizens of Pulaski and Giles oounty while in oommand of the Union army at that place in 1864. . , -. I can fully substantiate a; number of the enarges contained therein, and couli add many others of like character, all from mv own recollection. Although quite youug at the time suoh a state of terror as we were kept in by this brute in human form made an indellibie impression upon mv mind. My father, Dr. Perkins, was livinc in Pulas ki at this time. Our house, my . grand mother's (Mrs. Dr. Osd way, now of Kesh. ville), and Major Jones, a relative of ours, were nsed as officers' quarters. , We were subjected to mny insults. Maj .r Jones' family were ordered out of their house about 12 o'clock on a bitter cold eight iu December. - Thoy were not allowed ' time to dress. Mrs. Jones had to wrap her sick ohild in bed-clothing. and carry it iu her arms to a neighbor's house. Many acts of barbarous cruolty committed ou my rela tives and friends are fresti in my memory. Men of the highest standing, both young and old. were thrown into prison, . kept there for months and some shot dawn like dogs with never a charge entered ' against them. Ladies were insulted ou the streets it was iudecd a reign of terror. Such acts of vandalism and crime I have never even read of in a civilized country. All of was done by the order or with consent of Gnerul Weaver. f Mas Annie E. Hill THEY MISTAKE THE DIREC TION OF THE ENEMY. 0. W. Clackuall lo News and Observer. Kittiull, N. C Aug 29th, '92. Seeifi2 as I do the misdirected attacks of the Third party people on the Deniocrutio party it calls lo mind au illustration wnicn, trite and doubtless familiar to many of vour readers, is so applicable to the present situation that I think they will pardon ine for repeating it. - ' . , In one of C'sesar's fiercest battles, when the iron legions of Rome themselves were wayering before the deeper ite ouet of the barbarians, a centurion was seen to desert his post and hasten to the rear. The man had b. en brave and true on a hundred fields, but for the moment his nerve . for- Book him and he sought safety in flight, setting a bad example to those at the battle's front, and doubtless endangering the Bteadiness of the reserves advancing to their support. vJamr etepped to tbe man s side, placed his hand on his shoulder and pointing back wheuoe the oeuturion came, calmly said: 'My friend, you mistake the direction of the enemy.
