National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1884-10-28

The state republican executive COM
mittec of North Carolina has issued an
admirable address to tho voters Of that
state. In strong terms it points out the
amazing disparity between the condition
of the northern states under republican
rule and the southern states under an
illiberal, unprogressive bourbon control.
1t shows in convincing words that the
time is ripe for the "Old North" state to
now blaze tho way for her southern sis
tors into tho broad fields of culture,
wealth, and prosperity by oyerthrowing
the party that has controlled her desti-
nies so long and so much to her disad-
vantage. 1t is pointed out that repub.
lican senate offered tho state S6,000,000
free of conditions for tho education of
her children, and that u democratic house
OF representatives refused to allow the
magnificent donation. Tho advantages
to be reaped by North Carolina from tho
continuance of protective policy are
we'll stated, the raising of the color issue
shown to be solely on the part of the
bourbons, and the restoration to the peo-
pie of the right 20 select their own county
officers demanded.
The address concludes by calling upon
Senator Ransom to stand by his promise
that the election in North Carolina shall
be a fur one. In speech recently de-
livered by the senator he said:
One thing the democratic party had done
IA tpl 1al
and support of the people of the south. 1t had
made the ballot box, which 1t was designed to
be, the untrammeled expression of the SOW
ereign will of the people.
This expression was creditable to the
senator's goodness of intention, but all
the facts of North Carolina elections do
not tally with the words quoted. 1t is
but simple justice to say that in most of
the counties of the state the elections are
fairly held, and the votes honestly re-
turned, but it is also equally just and true
to say that in some of the counties cleo
tions are not fairly held and the vote
cast honestly returned. 1t unfortunately
happens that this latter class of counties
are those in which the colored voters are
greatly in excess of the white voters,
and the republican maiorities naturally
very largo. The senator cannot bo ignc-
rant of the frauds perpetrated SO late as
1880 and 1882 in county adjoining that
in which he resides, for when he was re-
elected to the senate, in the latter year,
he received the vote of q member of the
legislature from that particular county
who was directly afterward unseated by
his democratic co-members on the grounds
Of gross frauds in his election.
Senator Ransom possesses great infu-
ence in his state, and if he really chooses
to exert it honestly in behalf of free and
fair election there is but little reason to
doubt that such an election will be held
there next week. No matter what the
result would be, such course upon his
part could hardly fail to greatly
strengthen his hold upon the good will OF
his people and the respect of the coun-
try at large. 1t is really quite worth
his while to use every jot of his infln.
ence in that direction

1t is a favorte argument Of the free
traders that, while wages in the United
States are admitted to be higher than In
England, yet the American workingman
derives no substantial benefit from that
fact. for tho reason that money there will
purchase twice as much as it will here.
There is not word of truth in the asser-
tion, as every reading workingman knows.
In fact, in nearly everything that goes to
make up the substantial necessities of
living the dollar has as much purchasing
power here as abroad. There is no doubt
that some articles of ordinary use and
consumption can be more cheaply bought
in England than in this country, but, on
the other hand, there are great many
of such articles that can be more cheaply
purchased here than in England.
So far as food is concerned, the Ameri
can workingman, with an average of
wages 75 per cent. higher than the Eng
lish workingman, certainly has a very
great margin of comfort and good living
in his favor, rs the following table of the
retail cost Of common food articles In
Liverpool, Now York, and Chicago con.
clusively shows:

Andrew Jackson, the hero of many wars, and
a former democratic president, was no free
trader He was a sound and solid protection
ist. If he were alive to-day he would be found
acting with the republican party-with Grant,
Sherman, and Logan. He never could support
the degenerate democracy and its free-trade
platform. Here is a letter Of his on protection,
written to DR.. Coleman, of North Carolina,
which clearly shows the position the old hero
on this vital question to American interests:
WASHINGTON CITY, April 20, 1s2i.- .
Heaven smiled upon and gave us liberty and
Independence. That same Providence has
blessed us with the means of national inde-
pendencc and national defense.
II we omit or refuse to use the gifts which
He has extended to us, we deserve not the
continuation of His blessing. He has filed
our mountains and our plains with minerals
with lead, iron, and copper-and given us q
cllmat and soil for the growing of hemp and
wool These being the great materials OF our
national defense, they ought to have extended
to them adequate projections that our manu-
facturers and laborers may be placed in a fair
competition with those of Europe, and that
we have within our country a supply of those
leading and important articles so essential TO
war.
will ask, What Is the real situation OF the
agrculturist? Where has the American farmer
market for his surplus produce? Except for
cotton, he has neither a foreign nor a home
market. Docs not this clearly prove, when
there is no market at home or abroad, that
there is too much labor employed in agricul-
tire? Common sense at once points out the
remedy. Take from agriculture In the United
States 60O,0O0 men, women, and children, and
you Will at once give market for more bread
stuflS than all Europe furnishes us.
In short, sir, we have been too long subject
to the policy of British merchants IL is time
we should become Il little more Americdni.ed
aud instead of feeding paupers and laborers of
England, feed our own; or else, In n short
time, by continuing our present policy,we shall
be rendered paupers ourselves.

1t is a self-evident proposition that
Henry Ward Beecher is not himself
when he afiiliatcs with the pattern parent
of an unfortunate nulluS fliuS, and parades
as piece Of poetic purity his gushing
confession Of prurient indelicacy. 1t is
melancholy to see man like Mr.. Beecher
ignoring all that is grand and beautiful
in his past life, and, in the hope of over
taking a free-trado igniS tatuuS, consort-
ing with party that has not single plea
to justify tho continuance of its organi-
zStion, and with candidate who can
only be imagined ablo or eloquent when
ho says nothing, whose most b'lant ut
terancos do not reach the low-water
mark Of mcdiocrity, and whose candidacy
is broad satire on American manhood
and q deep insult to American woman.
hood.
How is it possible for Mr.. Beccher to
forget the lessons Of his boyhood and his
own manhoods enunciations? How is it
possible for him, who has seen, felt, aud
known, and so eloquently described, all
the evils begotten by democracy on tho
body of tho solid south TO cooperate now
with party whose only hope Of success
consists in the maintenance of this same
solid south, aud tho fearful and ultra bar
barouF appliances that have made that
sectional south 30 solid? He certainly
must gtultlfy himself to q higher degree
than even did that trcachorous monarch,
Charles tho First of England, and his
more treacherous and supersorviceable
minister, Sir Thomas Wentworth, who, rs
the earl of Stralord, paid tho forfeit Of his
head Tor his attempt to subvert the consti-
ta'ion Of his country by placingit beneath
the feet Of despotlsm. These worthless, or
upworthies found, as Mr.. Boecher has
been taught tthough he seems TO have
forgotten the lesson, that genius may
lead the popular instinct, but cannot
donect it contrary to its own impulsion,
and that If II undertakes 60 run counter
10 and override the stream Of popular

insignificant bubble, indistinguishable in

Mr. -, of this place, has been on an eX-

Il few days ago told different parties that this

no one credited his remarks, as he was not at

The annoyance to heads of departments OF
the demands OF creditors for aid In collecting
their Just dues from delinquent clerks has ex-
listed at least from the time of President Jack
son TO the present, and it has at last been de.
tcrmned by the treasury officials to take sharp
action with that class Of clerks who shield
themselves behind the law, which does not
permit Of guruishccment against their sal
aries. The view taken by the officials is to
the effect that a clerk who shows no DISPOSE
ton to arrange for the payment of his just
debts when IL is in his power TO do so Is u
fore unfit TO hold responsible position under
the department. No order has been issued in
the matter, nor will there be- but II is under.
