they will please a great many when they
carry out their programme already formu
lated and announced, of repeating the en-
tire Internal Revenue system

The a'jl has 10 reason to despond.
Her rHsperity does not depend on the
emo'uni"lts of Federal office. The Re
publica' were in power III Washington
during le lncipiency of Southern devel-
Opment, and while Democratic Admin
iStration puts a better class of politicians
to the front, a Republican President with
an army of MarShalls and Collectors, and
GauSers and Postmasters, at his back
cannot now impede her upward course.
She has mines to be discovered and ex-
plored, vast unimproved acres to be work
ed, timber lands to be utilized, crops of
all sorts to be cultivated and the bone and
slneW as well as the brain of her pOpula-
ton Will find more health, wealth and in
dependence in developing these resources
than running after office. 1t is a laudable
and natural ambition for any Democrat
to wish to see his party in power. But as
that cannot be until 1892 he must 90 reso-
luteiy to work and hope for the best. This
Republic Is too firmly established for
change of Administrations to affect any
part OF it seriously. 1t is DO small honor
for any party to claim such man and
such an Administration as will make from
1884 to 1888 notable era in the history
of the United States. The man is the peer
of any one whose names are written on
Americas roll call of fame: the Admins
tration has marked the return of universal
prosperity and has spanne1 the gulf of
sectional strife with the bridge of peace.
For the first time 10 a quarter of century
the ex-Confederate has met the Federal
on terms of absolute political and official
equality. This state of things must return
again, but that result will not be accomp-
lished by Democrats who whine about the
loss of Federal patronage, nor by men who
depend on any influence bat their own
strong arms and common sense in fighting
the battles of this life.

The defeat of Hon. f. NJ Simmons for
Congress in this district is bow that our
people feel keenly. They feel that one of
the most useful men in the National Con
gress has been displaced by an ncompe-
tent negro. They feel that The people of
the district-both white AMI black-de
sired his election and that il was only the
money of the protectionists of the North
that prevented him from completely over
coming the majority that this district is
expected to give the Republican ticket.
They feel that the brave fight that he
made in Congress in the interest of tariff
reform, that his efforts to break the infa-
nous Cotton Bagging Trust, contributed
largely to his defeat.
| bewail, with all our people, the de
feat of so splendid champion of the
peoples rights.
The State needs the services of such
men as Mr.. Simmons. His labors in this
district contributed largely to the magnif-
cent victory that has crowned the efforts
of the good people of North Carolina.
Judge Fowle's majority would have been
much less but for the work of our able
Congressman in this strict in arousng
| and organizing the ? ople. The greatest
| second district, and /, Hon. f. NJ. Sim
mons and the earnest patriotic men who
stood by him in the contest, does the honor
belong.
Had Grover Cleveland been elected, we
| do not doubt but that Mr.. Simmons would
have been called from private life to serve
his country in some honorable and useful
| position. Since the great calamity of his
| defeat has fallen on us, there is no possi-
bility that he will be called to the service
of his country by the National Govern
| ment.
There is one position in our own state
that is, it seems to me, decidedly to the
interest Of North Carolina that Mr.. Sim
mons should be elected TO fill That po-
sition is the presidency Of the Atlantic
and North Carolina Railroad.
Far several. years Mr.. Simmons was
| States proxy for that road; he has been
conversant with its condition and needs
from his boyhood: he lives at New Berne,
among the people who have been most
heavily taxed to pay for the construction
of the road; he is a business man of few
equals has the confidence of the people
as few men have been able to gam; he
would engage in no factional fight with
other railroads, and would therefore be
able to secure the best possible freight
rates for the people along the line of the
Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad
Possessing all these elements of fitness
for the position, it would be a graceful
} tribute to the people of the entire Second
} Congressional district, as well as a pru-
, dent business arrangement for the State,
if Governor Fowle-when he takes his
seat in the capitol at Raleigh-would ap
point, or cause to be elected, Hon. F. NJ
Simmons President Of the Atlantic ant
North Carolina Railroad, which is piece
of State and county property.

The Baltimore Sunday Telegram
very pointedly says The voter has
but few weeks to think, then
to act. The issue now before him
should have never been placed III a
political campaign, for the reason
that it is one founded on an eco
nomic principle which so affects all
classes, IN every section, as to make
it liable to constant changes. Con-
fessedly, the Democratic party had
its birth in the early years of the
Republic, and seems defined 10
last as long as the country lasts.
Parties may come and parties may
20, but there seems TO be an inner
ent principle in the Democratic par
ty that is indistructahle, and it there
fore is the only real combatant IN
any and every campaign. The is.
sue now presented is forced one
without it there could be no con-
test. What is it +: Well this !:
Twenty-Five years ago an enormous
tax was imposed to meet the expen-
ses of a great war. Should such
tax continue ? mo; for the very
good reason that the tax, or tariff,
il you please, is now an exaction
unwarranted and unjustitiabie.
How, or why this is so, let every man
consider. The proposition is a
plain one, and means this: A re-
vision of the tariff-not free trade
that will relieve the people from
war taxes, increase the industries
of the country, put an end to strikes,
aud give every man work, who wants
work, at fair wages. Let us sug-
gest to every reader of this paper
no matter what his politics may
be-that he give this subject I'M
preiudiced reflection, and vote
accordingly. But vote.

tions of a political nature were mailsd to

Master Workman Doyle, of this city, al
though strictly confidential, appears in full
in The Leader.
To the first four questions Mr.. Powderly

stigation of Mr. Blaine himself, offered me
that position in 1884, provided / would say

The remaining questions are answered coli
lectively in the body of his letter.
After refuting the implied charges that he
had manipulated the proceedings of the
Minneapolis convention to his personal and
political interests, by referring to the min
utes of that convention, and stating posi-
lively that he will not again be candidate
for reelection to his present position, Mr.
Powderly concludes as follows:
81 must say do not believe that the pro-
fession of either political party on the ques-
ton of protection amounts to hill Of beans,
for no matter who is elected president, the
monopolists and corporations of this country
will dictate what:congress viii do in the
future as they have in the past, unless work

TO respect their wishes by keeping jealous
eye upon them.
