''Sun"-Light.

Our genial neighbor, Mr.. Shotwell
OF the Farmer and Mechanic of this CITY.
In a kindly notice Of the Sua. with a few
puns at our expense, makes a mistake or
two, which we hope he will readily cor
rect, as they are calculated to mislead
He says the Sun was established in John
son county, but removed to Suffolk. Vir-
glnla, about ten years ago. The Sun
was established 3S years 9 at Hillsboro.

published IN Suffolk, Va, for about 30
years.
The main mistake we desire corrected
IS this: he states that the Sun is the
organ of the Christian Church, or Disci-
pies OF Christ, in the South. The first
part of the sentence is correct-it Is the
organ of the Christian Church. but not
OF the people known as the Disciples of
Christ" While they sometimes speak
OF themselves as the Christian Church.

speak, is the Disciples of Christ. Our
people are In no way enthusiastically con-
nected with them. Our neighbor mioht
De OF the opinion that we flee from the
shadow OF a name, while in reality it was
all the same. We will settle that point
IN a few words. The Disciples allow
only one mode of bapti.m-immersion.
The Christians practice either of the
three modes known as sprinkling. pour
ing and immersion. A very wide d;fer-

There was a Church paper named
the Christian Sun printed in John

editor subsequently removed it to Suf-

that there were TWO Christian SIMS.

wears we haze been printing articles IN
advocacy of silk CT tut at the South. In
one number We gave iull details OF all the
processes; and many times nave our cor
respondents pointed out the advantages
of South Central North Carolina-Crom
Sanford to Rockingham), for this IN
dusfry. The climate is dry and warm'
almost Identical with that of Bordeaux,
Marseilles, and Lyons, in France the
homes of the silk weaver. The soil Is
we'll suited to the White Mulberry, which
even grows wild wherever permitted.
And there is double daily communication,
by railroad in 20 hours, with the big silk
factories in New Jersey.
All that was lacking wa some sort OF
6lsture, to reel the silk rapidly and
cheapily; for nobody in North Carolina
could be hired to reel silk at 10 and 10
cents per day as is done in Europe. VI
course there have been many attempts to
invent such a reel, but all have failed ID
practical use. Two years ago, however,
public attention began to be drawn to
Edward Scrolls f~ilature, and We have
alluded to it a number of times during the
past year. 1t appears that Mr.. Serrel
has been continually experimenting until
at length success crowns his efforts. And
there is a gathering Jurore on the subject
that will eventually spur our North Caro-
lima people to action. Day after day new
Silk Raising" companies are started al
the North, and the demand for cocoon
is SO great that orders are filed to take
their turn. Prof. w. G. Kerr is reported
by the american SiM Cuhurist to have
visited the Serrell automatic reel in / hill
adelphia, and enthusiastically pronounced
it a success; and declared that 1t removed
the last obstacle TO successful silk raising
in the South.

Now is the time to come to Raleigh
to buy goods. Several large establish
ments are throwing their entire stock on
the market, some to make room for the
heavy fall trade. and some for other rea-
sons, while all lines of goods are marked
down nearly to cost. So the opportuni-
ties for bargains in staple and frst-class
stocks are rarely better. - DR.. Sandy

REPUBLICAN Congressman and Repub-
lican papers are now clamoring their
usual cant and stuff about devotion to
the interests of American labor. These
very journals, including the Repository,
were in favor of Chinese immigration
Are not Republican leaders favorable
to admitting the pauper labor hOrds of
Chinese Coolies to compete with Ameri-
can labOrers?
Did not Republican President veto
the measure to protect American labor
ing men by keeping out the Chinese?
American farm products compete with
the productions of all nations. The field
of labor in this country is open to all
European competition. Each year from
Europe comes an active population of
half million to million. Why give a
few manufacturing capitalists a mo-
nopOly by excluding all foreign COM
petition? Where is the justice?

THE Mckinley organ puts on airs Of
lofty confidence, and boots at Wallace
and his nomination. We have seen as
capable men as the mighty Mckinley
unexpectedly wiser after election. In
1857, the late Major Schneider was
candidate for reelection to the Legisla-
ture, and the late DR.. Dillworth and he
had discussion in the old Court House.
During the discussion the genial Major
Schneider dwelt much upon the way he
was going to lay out the Doctor at the
election. The thing, however, was
otherwise, and that Major was left. He
was a man, too, at least the peer of the
present Major. The truth is, strange
things happen in politics!
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1882-09-21

IT seems Congressman Mckinley
spoke at UniontOwn last Friday even
ing. We hope the aspirant for fourth
term explained his tortuous course on
the Chinese question, on the River and
Harbor steal, his vote on the monitor
steal, and why he failed to get through
his cotton ties bill. Also, why he went
back on Judge Laubie after promising
to keep out of his way this year. We
fear the Major did not explain the ex-
travagant expenditures of the late Con-
gress, four hundred and one millions;
nor the Star route administration of the
fraud, R. B. Hayes, with whom he was
so intimate, being a member of the
kitchen cabinet. We fear, too, the Ma
jor failed to say why Dorsey, the Star
route Republican thief, continues to be
Secretary of the Republican National
Committee. These important points
we fear the Major neglected.

SENATOR PENDLETON AT HAssILLON.

Our able and distinguished United
States Senator, George II. Pendleton,
spoke in Massillon on Wednesday even
ing of last week to large and intelll-
gent audience. The Opera House was
well filled, a number of ladies gracing
the occasion. After a good supply OF
music by the Massillon sband, Mayor
Cole about 8 o'clock introduced Senator
Pendleton, who was received with hearty
applause.
The Senator spoke of his qualification
in speaking in MassillOn for this, the
first time, and especially to so good an
audience. He then reviewed the cause
and policy in general of the Republican
party, and especially the acts OF omls-
sion and commission of the late Repub-
lican Congress, dwelling especially up
on the inordinate and extravagant ex-
penditures and showing the need Of re-
form in all directions.
Senator PendletOn gave an array Of
facts and figures calculated to carry con-
viction to the minds of the unpreju-
diced. He referred to the increase of
seventy-eight millions in the appropria-
tions this year over last when Demo
cratic Congress had control, stated that
four hundred and one millions Of dol
lars were appropriated and that all en-
deavors to economize were voted down.
During the delivery of his mastery
speech the orator was frequently ap-
plauded.
Mayor Cole introduced W. 8. Potts,
ESQ.,, after the conclusion of Senator
Pendleton's speech, but Mr.. Potts mere
Iy said it was late and we had all heard
a grand speech that would do to think
upon, and hence he would not venture
any remarks on this occasion, hoping at
some other time to have an opportunity.

WE ask in all candor: Is there not the
same necessity for independent political
action here that there is in Pennsylva-
mia? Is not the spoils machine system
in operation in Ohio and the Eighteenth
district as in CamerOn's dominiOns?
The same party is in power; the same
machinery in operation; the same spoils
divided and secured and used. The
"bOss" is a small affair; but controlling
the machine" and handling the spOils,
he is the power and can secure fourth
term nominations regardless of decency
and pledges. What is a despOtism but
the political machine? A despOtism in
any form consists of the few in power
who control by force, by fraud, by cor
rupt schemes, by manipulation and
management.
sit surprising that rebellion, rath-
er a revolution, should have broken out
in Pennsylvania, under such circum-
stances? The wonder is it did not come
sooner. The wonder is that the Ameri-
cad people should have so long remain
ed submissive and seryile under such
rule as the Hayes fraud, Cameron cor
ruption, Star route thieving, and ma
chine rule! Reader, just think of 1t!

Ever mindful what 1t cost"

THE TARIFF swINDLE.

A few days ago iron producers were
before the Tariff Commission in New
York city, their object being to oppose
reduction of duty on that raw material.
The question was not how to give the
American people cheap irOnware, for
that was not even talked of. 1t would
have been dangerous to name the thing
there.
The iron lords present spoke with
alarm upon the abundance of iron ore
in Spain; but did not speak of the cost
and difficulty of transportation, and
that this would give them protection, If
they would only be satisfied with fair
profits. Their talk indicated that with
out heavy restrictive duties their mines
would be unworked, all which is doubt
less false. Unskilled labor is the kind
employed there, and the pretext of pro-
tecting American labor is fraud in this
case. Iron ore is the raw material for
great system of industries, and If 1t
were free of duty those industries
would receive an honest impulse at the
expense of nobody except the mine
owners whose representatives were con-
spring to continue a swindle upon all
the iron manufacturers and ultimately
upon all the iron users of the country.
