H. Cowles which appeared in last week'! "Union Republican" is too good pass unnoticed. It gets better with every sentence and the last one knock the bull's eye in the center. The letter follows: Mr. Editor: In tho Charlotte Ob server of the iiiind instant and the News and Observer of the 83rd appear ed an article entitled "The Lumbe Industry of North Carolina in Detail,' bearing the signature of Z. W. White head, Editor Southern Lumber Journal It purports to be a defense of the six North Carolina Democratic Congress men who cast Republican votes in the House of Representatives on the lum ber schedule of the Payne tariff bill. Following is the first paragraph of the article to which I refer: "I have observed with more or less surprise the disiosition of two or three papers in this State to unfavorably criticise tho vote of Congressmen Small, Thomas, Pou, Goodwin, Page and Webb, for opposing free lumber in the Payne tariff bill and supporting a one dollar duty in favor of this great Southern product. As n matter of fact, it has been said that the fail ure of Congress to put lumber on the free list can be ascribed to the action of the six Democratic Con gressmen from North Carolina, us named above, whenthnt question was up before the House several lavs ago. If this be true, then not only the present, but genera tions yet unborn will rise up mid call their names blessed, for nt the hands of the good people of North Cnrolinn have they richly earned the plaudit. Well done, good and faithful servants," The writer of the above paragraph either grossly ignorant of the facts ith which he attempts to deal or olsi ha has wilfully misrepresented the matter and presumes upon the ignor nee of the North Carolina reading public. In the first place "free linn ber" was not incorporated in th Payne bill, but on the contrary the Payne bill carried a duty on lumber all grude amounting to 50 per cent ot the rates now in force under the Ditg ley act.. Representative Champ Clim (Democratic Leader), and DeArmon4 both of Missouri, offered amendmeits putting lumber on the free list ,n fulfillment of tho promises contained in the last Democratic National plutforn and it was against these anieii-lni"nis that the six North Carolina Deraorfats voted, in voting for the schedule in the Payne bill and against the amend ment offered by their loader tho de sorted the faith and promises of tlieir party and voted withthe Republicans tor tne interest or norm Carolina una the Southland. In the second place the six Democratic Congressmen are entitled to the credit of casting six votes against their party's faith snd promises and for a duty on lumber, and no more. It was the united action of twent-four Republican Congressm-n among whom are Reprcsentativea Grant, Morehead and Cowles which saved tie day for lumber, and this fact cannot be controverted. If as,' Mr. Whitehead says: "Not only the present but generations yet un born will rise up and call their (the six Democratic Congressmen) names blessed, for at the hands of tho good people of North Carolina they bad richly earned the pludit, "Well done, good and faithful servants, "and all be cause the voted with the Bop.biicans, what sentence will ha and the people pass upon Senator Leo Oveiman who on yesterday voted for tho amendment offered by Senator Johnson, of Ala bama, a Democrat, of course, which pro vided that all grades of lumbar and all kinds of building material be placed upon tho free Kit.

Opinions of Loading Journals Regarding Pending Measures. "Coma on in, Boys." From the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle: "Com on in, bo.-, the w ter's fine," says Senator McKnery in effect in announcing his support of the protective policy and urging his Demo cratic colleagues to join him." But the invitation was hardly necessary in view of the stand taken by a majority of the Democrats on the important schedules. Tho Income Tax. From the Buffalo Expresj; It would be difficult to framo a constitutional income tax, and there would be further objection that the government Would do encroaching upon the powers already exercised, in part to make the states. But If Senators are bound to make an1 other trial of the income tax, there is no reason why they should insist on making it delay Indefinitely a settle ment of the tariff fight and thus retard the revival of business. Belated Doctrine. From Richmond Times Dispatch The time for party leaders to express themselves about a platforei is when their views can bear some fruit, not ong after the harvest is gathered. The Democratic party is falling apart for ack of leadership which can dominate lay down doctrine and whip scattered elements together again under a coin mon standard. leadership which dis- overs doctrine a year too late is of no use to anyone. How? From the Philadelpha iVess: Dimo ratio talk about a reduction of the tar ff becomes ridiculous when a majority the Democratic Senators vote for uties on free raw materials and re fuse to accept the Denver platform. How can Governor Johnson go on urg- ng that his party would reduce the tar- ff, if in power, when Senator Bailey and his associates flntlv refuse so to ote on the very raw materials the enver National Democratic pint foiiii emamled should be freef Question of Revenue. From the Washington Star: By De cember we should know by experience hat sort of revenue producer tje new w is and whether more moncv is nec essary. The country has expressed no desire for an income tax in itsv". In many quarters there is a strong opposi tion to the proposition. But the coun try wants the government generously supported; and if aan income tat. i:' an inheritance tax, or some other such tax should be necessary as an addition to the revenue derived from customs for the government's support, why, it should bo levied, and Congress, presum ably, will do its duty. Platform Promises. From the Springfield Republican: Ibe Denver platform "demanded," among other things: "The immediate repeal of the tariff on pulp, lumber, tim ber and logs." But seventeen Demo cratic Senators vote against the repeal and defy high Olympus to chastise them. One can not but remember Herman Bidder, who supported Mr. Bryan, and whose family contributed many thous ands of dollars to his campaign fund, because of the Denver plank, Senator Bacon 's remark ahout platforms is more pertinent than ever. "They are made in a hurry, generally late at night and mean nothing." ' A Bontaera View, From the Nashville Banner: Intelli gent and thoughtful Democrats of the South have understood for years that a tariff for revenue to meet the ex penses of the government economically administered" and to which the Dem ocratic party stands committed, calls for a certain degree of protection to the raw material or manufactured pro ducts upon which the tariff ia levied and thoy wold be little less than foolish to commend a "revenue tariff'! levied mainly upon products of the North, South and West which wonld afford pro teetiba to those sections, while ths raw material . and products , of the .
