NORTH CARoLINA.

\ The able aud energetic editor Of the Raleigh
Standard will be very much surprised and mortified
10 learn that the senator from North Carolina upon
whom he relies in the following article for sup
porting the rights of the people and the principles
ofthe republican party, has abandoned his post, and
leaves them at the mercy Of their political oppo-
nents. Mr.. Mangum will inevitably vote against
the BILL which restricts the exactons of the pro,ec-
tionists, and relieves North Carolina from the
abominable tariff of ls42. Let the people arouse,
take the, own cause into their own hands, and
right themselves The city of Washington is
swarming with manufacturers or their agents, The
Senate is lsgisating amid the pressure and panic of
the monopolists. Let the republicans Of North
Carolina see what is passing in the Senate to-day.
Can law, which was thus got up In ls42-whieh
passed after these very close votes in the House Of
Representatives, and at last by majority of two
and then in the Senate by a majority OF one-and
now is kept alive if preserved at ALL by vote Of one,
under such extraordinary be approved
by the voters of North Carolina
From the Raleigh Standard.
THE TARIFF-oUR SENATORS.
The tariff of 1912 taxes the people, upon an aver
age, $40 upon every 500 worth OF goods, wares,
and merchandise imported into this country. The
revenue tariff bill which recently passed the House
of Representatives, and is now being debated in the
Senate will if it pass into law, tax the people less
than SOS upon every 500 worth OF goods imported
thus saving To the people more than sl7 in every
500 worth of foreign goods consumed m this ooun-
try. Strange to say, Mr. Mangum intends TO vote
against this bill to reduce the duties For whose
benefit will his vote be givenl Certainly not for that
of the people of North Carolina, but Of immense
ly rich capitalists the north, that they may as
sst Mr. Clay or some other federast to be the next
President
Why is it that Mr.. Haywood is exerting himself
to secure the passage Of this bill, and that Mr..
Mangum is exerting himself to procure its defeat'
Because Mr.. Haywood represents the people Of our
State, who mainly farmers, and therefore pur
chasers Of merchandise, and who of course wish to
purchase the best articles at the cheapest price;
whilst Mr.. Mangum representative know not
whom, but certainly not the people of North Caro-
lima.
The remedy for this evil is at hand Let the peo-
pie elect democrats TO represent them IN the general
assembly, and they will turn Mangum out Of Con-
gress and put in some individual who will speak the
wishes of the State. Mangum has been weighed In
the balance and found wanting.
dark cloud seems TO obscure the rising sun
which bid fair TO shed his genial rays upon the ae-
complishment Of the last great work which was the
business Of the present Congress to perform. There
will, in all probability, be a tie on the bill in the
Senate-leaying its fate to the casting vote Of the
presiding officer of that body. or him we entertain
the slightest suspicion. And 1t be possible
that there will be southern democratic senator
who will falsify his professions, disregard the
pledges Of his party and betray the interests OF his
constituents We hope that 1t Is not.
