The Chronicle complains that the peo-
pie would not listen to Mr.. Meares at
Long Creek. They did listen for while;
but it was such an up hill business that
they soon got tired. But why didn't Mr..
Meares take the first speech. General
Mckay made this proposition to him, and
at the same time told him that as it was
then late, Il clock, he (Mr. Meares)
would find it difficult to get the people
to listen to him, after he General
Mckay, would get through. Why didn'n'
Mr.. Meares come to the ground sooner
and not keep both General Mckay and
the audience waiting during nearly two
hours! and, then if he wanted to be heard
why didn't he make the first speech
When General Mckay got through it was
four o'clock and the people who had been
there all day were tired. Again, why did
both parties leave Mr.. Meares at Bladen
This is a delicate matter, and we leave
Mr.. Meares' friends to answer it. The
people Of Long Creek were as quiet and
orderly on the 2sth Of last month, as we
have ever seen the same number on any
other occasion or at any other place.

1t seems that the celebrated Mr.. Cling
man, the federal candidate for Congress,
has at last got opposition. The federal
paper MIR. C.'s organ, is quite wrathy a
bout it. But we would advise him (.he
editor to take matters coolly, for Cling
mans opponent-the Hon. Jas. Graham
although federalist, is much better
friend to Southern interests than Mr.. C.
has proved himself to be inthe halls of the
House Of Representatives. We hope Mr..
Graham will be elected, if for nothing else

particularly for his district, which has beer
badly represented for the last two years.

Wilmington, ". c., august 4th, 1915.
We. the undersigned, passengers and crew
from the schr. Erie, Capt. Wilson, having
seen CARDS COPIED from the s. Charleston
Patriot" ~ published by Messrs. G. Fl. Eaton,
of Savannah, Ga, and James Corbett, OF
Charleston, rejecting on the conduct of Capt.
Wilson at the time the ''Erie" was run into
by the Steamer Vanderbilt, Capt. Marshall,
do hereby testify that we saw nothing in the
conduct of Capt. Wilson unbecoming man,
or the station he occupied and that Captain
Wilson, having done all that possibly could
have been none to prevent the collision, was
not in the least to blame.
In fastening on board the Steamboat, Capt.
Wilson did nothing more than all on board
would have done, had the Boat not been so
soon out of their reach.
1t is not at all surprising that gentlemen
knowing nothing of the usual consequences
of Steamboat running into vessel a mid
ships, should have been ''utterly astonished''
at seeing persons leaving a sinking ship sim.
mediately."

collected, as he has been on every occa-
sion. He defended and explained his
course whilst in Congress, with clear
ness and distinctness which carried con-
viction home to the heart of every man,
not entirely blinded by prejudice. He
devoted portion Of the time allotted to
him, to the discussion of the great ques-
tons which divide the Democratic from
the Federal party. But we will not 60 in-
to detail. The General spoke two hours.
When Mr.. Meares rose to reply, we were
sorry to see that most of the people left.
This was not confined to the Democrats.
The members of both parties left. They
had listened patiently for three hours, and
we suppose had become wearied. The
discussion redounded to the advantage of
Gent Mckay, and for the correctness of
this opinion, we are willing to abide the
verdict delivered at the ballot-box on yes
terday. The miserable. pitiful charges
which have been marshalled with such bit
terness against Gen'I Mckay. have only
served to arouse his old Democratic friends,
and we give it as our firm conviction, that
they have made for him many more
warm friends than he had at the be-
ginning of the canvas. The Democracy
of Baden is as firm and unf1inChing as l
ever was, and we know we shall hear {
good account from that county.

A New Market House.

Now that we can devote our attention
to local matters, with more convenience
than we have been able to do for some time
back. we propose to respond 10 the calls
made in another quarter, for the improve
ment of the appearance of very essential
business Of our town. The heading Of
this article conveys, at glance, the sub
ject upon which we are about to speak,
In the first place, then, it is computed by
the best Of judges, that our town contains
from 5000 to 5000 inhabitants. Out of
this number, the greater portion have to
resort to the market for their daily supplies
of the necessaries of life. We have heard
considerable talk about erecting new and
larger building than the one now situate
at the foot of Market street. We cordial
ly agree with those who first brought this
subject before the public; and, would urge
with all our might, the erection OF the
building. 1t is matter of little moment
to as, where the scite for the market should
be. We presume those who might have
control of the matter, would be guided by
the voice of our citizens in this respect, in
order TO make il as convenient, for every
class, as possible. Much has been said,
too, about the cost. We look upon this
as matter of but small consideration, when
we take into view the conveniences that
would evidently follow from well regu-
lated market. Let us look moment at
our sister town, Newbern her market is
credit to her citizens. There, every DO.
dy knows where to go to find every thing
in the Provision line, the surrounding
country affords. What difference in the
:. organization of the markets in these two
towns! Here, we have to 60 from one
stree. to another, and from one cart to an.
other, to buy the least necessary of life,
and the time lost in thus running about, is
in many instances, worth the article pur
chased-aud very often then, you are able
to get only what the negroes have left, af
ter picking out the best. This is particu
larly the case with regard to fresh fish,
If there is any ordinance compelling ven

house to sell, we have never heard of it
} being enforced since we have lived here
We speak Of these things because we be

Gus town as Wilmington. We go, will
all our heart, for the erection of sutabl,

Let the thing be commenced right ant

of a market inspector, appointed by tn,
Commissioners, and We will venture t,

A CARD.

Capt. Wilson appreciates the kindness of
Messrs. G. H. Eaton and James Corbett, in
publishing a card, in which they are not sat-
isfed to clear Capt. Marshall of all blame in
the affair, of which an account is above, but
have attempted to ruin his character by attri-
buting to him all the ''ineXcusable eglgence"
in the affair, and rejecting on his courage in
leaving sinking vessel.

Account of the Loss Of the Erie
FURNISHED BY CAPT. WILSON.

The ''Ere'' sailed from Musquito Inlet,
Flo, 23d July, in ballast, for this Port. On
the night of the 26th, about IL o'clock, being
about IS miles N. E. Georgetown light, made
IA light nearly ahead, schr. Erie steering n.
E. The light proved to be that of Steam
boat. We Immediately kept the schooner off
N. by W., wind being S. S. E.. weather clear
at the time, which left the Steamboat broad
on our weather bow, and apparently plenty of
room to pass, but in nearing her we found it
impossible to clear her, and was struck by the
Steamer, head on, abaft the fore rigging, a
bout 10 minutes past 2 o'clock. and cut down.
Capt. Wilson, 3 of the crew, and passen-
ger, jumped Immediately on board the Steam
er, which proved to be the G. Vanderbilt,
Capt. Marshall, from Wilmington, bound to
Charleston, S. G. Capt. w. then informed
Capt. M. that the mate and several passen-
gers were left on board. Capt. Nj. then went
In hail of the schooner, and understood from
the mate and carpenter that the leak might be
stopped sufficiently to run her ashore, the boat
being then ont with men endeavoring to stop
the leak from the outside. Capt. w. then re-
quested Capt. M. to put him on board, which
he did, with the others who had left the schr.;
the Steamers boat returned from the schooner
Immediately.
On further examination of the schr., found
her condition to be much worse than was at
first supposed, but all hands at work, succeed
ed partially in stopping the leak with mattras-
SEES, &C., and with both pumps going, and
bailIng, kept her up and proceeded, under cd
sy sail, direct for the land, until 10 minutes
past 2, the leak increasing, and then feet
water in the hold, and settling fast, abandoned
her and took to the boats, 10 seven fathom wa
ter, and landed on the beach about 81 o'clock
in the morning. Capt. w. and 8 men were
joined, about 10 o'clock. by the crew of the
other boat, which landed miles off, inform
ing Capt w. that 2 of the passengers and l
of the crew had remained on board the vessel
rather than risk the boat. Nothing saved but
what they had on. Those who were left on
board report that the schr. sunk in 20 minutes
after the boats left her, her mast heads and
starboard quarter being above water.

In several of the papers published in the farm
ing districts every item of intelligence which bears
upon the actual operation of the tariff, will be found
copied with great eagerness. The "News" the
other day published the following apt little table
which is every letter of it true. Truth, however
is proverbally slow-coached, and is but now reach

her seven-leagued boots, arrived some two years

Salt rs Precious stones I|3
The poor, who consume salt, in any of its nu-
merous preparations, pay tax of rs per CT on
every particle used. The factory stock-owner, al
ter getting 80 per ct. dividends, buys champagne
wine, and is taxed IL per ct. only. The work
man, who buys a cotton shirt, is taxed SO per Ct
The manufacturer whose wealth makes him af-
ford linen shirt, is taxed rs per ct.
The Argus, published at Madison, Wisconsin
Territory, claims true doctrine-which every
democratic paper in the world ought to advocate
that tariff, not only as means of protection,
either objective or incidental, but as a system OF
taxation for the support of the government, is the
most outrageously unjust and unequal system OF
taxation which could we'll be devised, and one
which, in our country, would not be submitted to
for single year, if its practical operation were
properly understood.
1t does not, however, suggest any other means
of raising revenue, which shall he more direct ;
and we confess that we have not yet been able to
see any mode of supporting the government. which
il 81 much better than the one under which 1t has
existed, as to warrant the risk and experiment OF
trial.
The Cincinnati Enquirer thus happily disposes
of one of the stale arguments of the tariff orators
who maintained that the farm ers could have some
of the best cold cuts from the tariff feast
"He1Uv clJLlCO-A wing can0luate lOt OoLS' osa
in Indiana in support os the tariff, argued to the
farmers that one of the cotton mills of Massachu-
sets alone, in one year, used two hundred thou
sand barrels of flour for starch. On examination
of the amount of its manufacture it ascertain
ed that each yard of calico would have to weigh
eight pounds. How dare the locos repeal such a
tariff-'the farmers tariff"
These and thousand other indications of the
times cannot be mistaken. The tariff system only
exists by vice in legislation, in opposition to the
natural sense of justice and Of right. But it was
brought into existence by combination Of causes
which has ceased. By unity of political n1u
ence and monopolies, by studied pervers,on o
the TRUTH by false promises to the farmers. and ap
peals to popular prejudiccs, false legislation wa
created, which is no longer supported ny those
who combined to create it. 1t falls to pieces o
ITSELF and, on the contrary, the democratic party
now in the ascendency, and ever ready to unite
upon principles, having disposed of all minor dit
ferences, is ready to rally around the standard o
liberty, in act as we'll as in thought and speech.
Such is the dawn which we see beyond the lit
tie clouds of faction and place, which have set b.
the ears the smallpoicians and presses of the pre-
sent day.

THE TARIFF.

We extract the following plain, sensible, and
well timed article from the New York Evening
Post, of the 2sth ult. We would call the atten-
ton of our readers to it. and particularly that OF
the mechanic and farmer:
It is some time since we made promise to the
Tribune" to give him an occasional echo of the
murmurines from the agricultural portion Of the
country. against the iniquities of the tariff of 1872
He knows the faith of the post on this subject
so we'll that it would not be worth while to repeat
to him arguments of our own, or even to state
again facts which occur under our own knowledge
in this commercial metropolis; for he would tell US
that although the interests of the city are decided
y for free trade yet the expression of that opinion
would be merely local. If we assume that COM
rnerce will thrive best when left free and unshack-
led, he would reply that commerce is but one Of
the leading interests of the country, and one inte
rior in the estimate of Congress to the manufac-
turing interest, which cannot exist, according to
his theory. without protection.
In that case, to conduct the argument fairly, we
must call in a third party-the farmers.
In one of our exchange papers. the following
comparative table of taxes is given;
