' The farmers say the cotton is about all picked out, A better season- for picking was never "known, and those who have pushed their work will now have plenty of time for putting in crops .of small grain and prepare for another crop of corn and cotton. The present price of cotton is really ;discouraging to the famers, but the world cant move ' without 'them.

Staples, tho Democratic Elector at Large, had a good audience at Hackburn's store' last night, and he made a capital speech. Members of the Cleveland and Scales Central Club as sembled at the .Club room at 7i o'clock and proceeded,' headed by the Silver Cornet Band, to the place of speaking. The' meeting Vas called to order by Alpheus W. Wood, Chairman of the Executive Committee, and the speaker as introduced by F. M. Simmons, Esq. The audionco gave the speaker good attention, who, aft?r briefly alluding to State politics, nroke substantially as follows: , -If there is one subjoot more than all others misunderstood by the American people, k is the question of the tiriff, and the effect it has upon the business interests of the country. Ihe tariir is nothing more or loaa than tax, for the expenses of the tvovern- ment, the payment of its officials, the interest upon the public debt, and pen sions, it being necessary to have a revenue. This revenue is collected by two methods, and both are systems of taxation. From the foundation of the govern ment there have been revenue taxes, These taxes are imposed upon foreign importations and collected at tho cus tom house3. From 1789, there have been tariff duties. These tariff duties are put upon foreign productions, os tensibly for the support of the govern ment, but under the Kepubliean ad ministration, practically for the benefit of manufacturers. The other method of collecting taxes is the intern;! I rev enue system. Tho one is diroct, the other indirect. The Republican speakers maintain in their harangues, before the people, that a high protective tariff is for the best interests of the people. That under it the government has prospered as never before, and that the tanners of the country are greatly, benefitted by it That a high protective tariff encourages American manufacturers, protects American capital and American labor, and that by reason of the markets pro duced by manufacturing establishments the farmer directly receives a benefit That the high tariff has increased the wealth of the nation, enriched the agriculturist, fostered American enter prises, and protected American muscle and American skill. This position is untenable, and not supported entire by the statistics or tho history of the government. It is rea sonable to suppose that if the farmers are benefitted by a high tariff, that the farmers in the btate3 most highly pro tected would reap the richest reward, both as to the price of land, and the price of farm products. In thirteen of the largest manufacturing States of the Union States having a population of over twenty millions of people cover ing an area oi territory or more than three hundred and fifty thousand square miles, the farmors have not been bene fitted by a high tariff. From 1850 to lbbO, under a Democratic tariff averaging 22 percent, the value of farms in those manufacturing States in creased more than 83 per cent. From 1870 to 1880, under the Republican tariff averaging 43 per cent, those same farms decreased in value 10 1-13 per cent. Under the 22 per cent tariff the popula tion of those States increased 25 per cent. Under the 42 per cent tariff the population increased but 15 per cent. Bo that in the large manufacturing States both farm values and population increased under the Democratic tariff. But under the Republican tariff farm values actually decreased and the ratio of population diminished.' - It is a fallacy to suppose that the tariff laws fix the rate of wages. Not more than one tenth of the laboring popula tion of the United States is engaged in manufacturing enterprises, it would be against every rule of political econo my to suppose the "1-10 controlled the other Q-lO with respect to labor wages. Wages are controlled by the same law of political economy as are applicable to every other Dusiness. The rates of wages are controlled by the law of supply and .demand, as cer tainlyasare the tides by the natural laws. . . . .: , . . If you put 50,000 bushels of corn on the New Berne market to-night, corn will' go down the prioe will drop, Why i .Because the supply is greater than the demand. Where the demand is greater than the supply a contrary rule will obtain. There is no statute in the United States that prohibits the influx of laborers to American shores from foreign lands except such laws as are applicable to. tne unmese. xne greatest protection American laborers have from an influx oi foreign labor is in the fact that we are protected by two great oceans, and we may thank the Lord for that protection and not the Republican party. The Republicans in sist upon a high tariff tax. They insist upon a law tnat puts six aouars in tne Docketa of the manufacturer, for every one dollar that goes into the treasury of the government. They advocate the continuance of a tax which gives to the government $198,000,000.00 and at the same time gives to the manufacturer $1,250,000,000.00. , V" .. . The Democratic party oppose this system of high taxation, and takd the position that to fully proteot American capital and American labor, that a tax just large enough to cover the difference in the cost of -productions abroad and the cost of production in America should be levied and not a dollar more That this tax should bear heaviest upon luxuries and lightest upon necessaries and that any more tax than enough to make up this difference is robbery un der the forms of law; that it is taking money out of the poor man'B pocket and rutting it in the pocket of the, rich. That it ia a cysterq of bounties which is Loth iniquitous and immoral, and is a species of oppression which should not do tolerated. Just think of it! 66 cents on a wool bat to 'the manufacturer, and not one cent to the Government. Every wool hat made in the Unite! States is pro tected by a tax of 66 cents. None of this manufacture of hats is imported, conse quently the man who makes the hat takes advantage of this tax and adds it to the cost of manufacture, and the man who buys the hat has this burdensome tax to pay. So with all woolen goods; so with your shoes, your towels, your shirts, your wooden -buckets, . your plates, your salt, pepper, and even your bible. The Democratio party is in favor of levying this tax for the benefit and in the interest of the poor man; the Re publican party is in favor of levying for me Deneni or tne ncn man. it is for the people to say which they prefer. The Republican party says the Demo cratio party is opposed to education. This is a joke. They say it for fun: there can be no seriousness in it. They are a pretty set to charge the Democracy with a lack of principle on this subject. The contrast between the two parties in this Slate is a sufficient answer t such nonsense. The Republican party likewise say that the Democrats will not repeal the Internal Revenue, but that we (the Re publicans) will. This is a greater joke than the other. What effort has that party ever made in Congress to either modify or repeal the Internal Revenue laws. The records will show that in almost every instance reductions and modifications have been proposed and carried by the Democrats. A snake will not bite itself that it may die; neither will the Republican party abol ish the Internal Revenue laws. It is the great machinery of ;that 'party in North Carolina; take it away and the party is dead. As to Civil Rights, the Northern wing of the Republican party, which domi nates and controls the party legislation, has declared for Civil Rights. They have pledged the party to further legis lation upon that subject; and upon that subject the white men of North Caro lina. Whigs and Democrats, white Re publicans and white Democrats, will vote as they shot. They shot together for North Carolina in times of great danger and public peril, regardless of party affiliations; they will vote to gether now in order that they may make a common cause to preserve to them selves and perpetuate to their posterity the supremacy of the Anglo-Saxon race upon American soil, on every foot of it, wnerevertne i iagor Washington floats, The battle cry of this political contest is an nonest administration by an hon est man. The integrity of the Repub lican candidate for the Presidency is questioned. The integrity of the Dem ocratic candidate is admitted. The one represents the principles of the Dem ocratic party; the other the principles of the Republican party. The motto of the one is "Plunder and Spoils"; the motto of the other is "Purity and Econ omy in the Administration of the Govern ment." Choose ye this day between the two. The stream is never purer than its source. A corrupt ballot will put in powor a corrupt man; an honest ballot will put in power an honest man. In the exercise of your suffrage, be gov erned by those honest principles of jus tice and right which actuate vou In your business affairs, and in nine cases out of ten you will succeed in elevating to power men whom you can trust. STREET TWITTERINGS. Farmers are long-faced. Crops are short. No storm cotton on the market Cold yesterday overcoats and fires. Political market firm with an upward tendency. The falling of rocks in Wilmington has given an impetus to registration, York is reported as having chill-blims inGoldsboro. The song of the bull frog is no longer heard in the land. The honk of the wild goose will soon take his place. "Read every word of "Commerce." Vote for Scales. Col.

An elastic step; buoyant spirits, and clear complexion, are among the many desirable results of pure blood. The possessor of healthy blood has his facul ties at command, and enjoys a clear and quick perception, which is impossi ble when the blood -is heavy and slug gish with impurities. Ayer's Sarsa parilla is the best blood purifier and yi talizer known. ; , . . Cotton and Good. Middling cotton is lower in New York than it has been since 1878. The cotton sold here this season is in better condition than usual, and we are pleased to note, that while the price paid is small te the farmers, yet it is good com pared with other markets. We have buyers here who buy for houses dealing direct with Liverpool and they leave no margin for the middle man. And again, our farmers are getting another advan tage by bringing cotton to New Berne, and that is in buying goods cheap. If they will watch the columns of the Journal and seo who wants to sell goods they will be surprised at the low price at which they are offered. For the best prices for cotton and cheapest goods, come to New Berne. Where tofneKUter. The registration books of the city can be found at the following places: 1st Ward, at the store of Thos.
