HOW VERY MODEST

Under the editorial head (but not in very con-
column of the third page) of the last Fayetteville
Observer appears the following announcement:
"Col John Leach ofRobeson county, requests
us to announce him as a candidate for Congress
in the 9th District, in opposition to Gen. Mckay"
Well, for a wonder, there is no flourish of
trumpets. The Colonel deserves better of his

TARIFF


England has hitherto been considered the nurs-
ing mother of the protective policy, but since the
passage of our late tariff, we have completely
borne away the palm from her and adopted her
cast-of bantling. In England, under the late
adjustment of her revenue law, no manufactured
article pays a higher duty than 25 per cent.
while under ours allthe goods used by the labor
ing or producing classes pay from 60 to 100
English duties on provisions of every kind are
greatly reduced-so much so that our Western
farmers could easily compete, in their markets,
with the Irish and continental supplies of pork,
bacon, beef lard tongues and cheese, but for our
high tariff on lowpriced manufactured goods,
which prevents their receivinr such articles in
exchange for their produce. Our tariff, upon
all the coarser articles used by the Western far
mer acting as a prohibition the English manu-
facturer is compelled to sell to those who buy
from him; our producers consequently shut
out of the British market If but moderate
duty had been laid upon these articles large
trade in produce from the West would have
sprung up between the farmers of that region
and the manufacturers Of Great Britain. The
former would have taken manufactured goods in
exchange for their produce and the latter would
in turn have increased the demand for cotton to
supply the country with fabrics. But under the
present foolish policy of protecting what is called
domestic industry, we have cut off large de-
mand for great staple from those customers
who consume million and u half of bales to pro.
tect those who may only consume $50 900 bales.

twill be that the Address recommends, as the
time for holding the Democratic National Convention
the fourth Monday in May, 1884, and the appointment o
Delegates in such to to each State as
nearly possible, the influence it would have in the
Electoral College. The plan is. that two Delegates
should be appointed at large either by State ConVen-
ten by the Democratic members of the Legislature,
and the remainder by Districts from each Congress
sonal District, where there such in State, and
where not by the mode which the Democratic Republ-
can Party of such State may deem best fitted to collect
and express the opinions of the Peoples and that the
members should per capita-that is each member
for himself
The attentive reader will not fall however to perceive
that the authors of the Address take ground in opposition

what is denominated the Maryland plan For ourself
