MAJOR STEDMAN IN WINSTON.

Among many admirable gentlemen
and able statesmen, North Carolina
can boast of but few that are the
peers of Chas. Manly Stedman, our
Liut. Governor. We saw him at the
Stlte Convention when, after two
sleepless nights to him, he was defeat
cd by the gallant Fowle. His face
vas white and his limbs trembling,
i,ut when he congratulated Judge
lFoWle and spoke to the immense au-
G;ence of him in terms of highest
praise he did so honestly. There was
not spark of envy in his heart and
as ne stood there, the vast throng
recognized in him one of Natures

j. III. Mitchell

The nominee OF the Democratic
party from. this Senatorial District
is the gentleman whose name stands at
the head of this article. He requires
no introduction to the people of
Stokes county. He has served them
long and faithfully as their Register
of Deeds, and voluntarily retired
from office to recover his health. He
is no novice in the halls of legislation,
having already served his county in
the capacity of a member of the Low
er House Mr.. Mitchell is a success
full farmer and knows the wants OF
the people, and they will find in him
a faithful, honest and industrious Ser
ator. He makes no pretense at orato-
ry, but presents the claim of the
Democratic party in a plain, straight
forward way and in marked contrast
to the big-mouthed blatherskite who
is running against him
The people of this county know
Lineback and are accustomed to his
high sounding claims as the represen-
tative of the farmers, but he cannot
point to single measure with which
his name is associated which benefits
the farmers. Thus far he has been a
member of two Legislatures from this
county. The charge that he was de-
feated two years ago by corruption
and fraud he knows to be false. He
has never dareo to make this charge
on the stump in this county, and will
not dare to do. So.
Lineback is political fraud and
we hope the people of Stokes county
will not mistake his frothing at the
mouth and his big talking for serious
ness. He is a ianting, rambling
talker, but nothing more He would
not know the tariff if he should meet it
in the road. We cannot believe that
the people of these two counties will
accept him and reject such an honest,
unassuming, but splendid man as j.
6. III. Mitchell is.

AN EXPLANATION.

What is this NERVOUS trouble"
with which SO many seem now to
be afflicted ? IF you will remember
a few years ago the word Malaria
was comparatively unknown,-to-
day it is as common as any word i'm
the English language, yet this word
covers only the meaning of anoth-
Ell. word used by our forefathers in
times past. So it is with nervous
diseases, as they and Malaria are
intended to cover what our grand
fathers called Biliousness, and are
all caused BY troubles that arise
from a diseased condition of the
Liver which in performing lis func-
tons finding 1t cannot dispose of
the bile through the ordinary chan
mel is compelled to pass it off
through the system, causing ner-
yous troubles, Malaria, Bilious Fe
yer, etc. You who are suffering
can well appreciate cure. We
recommend Green's August Flow
err. Its cures are marvellous.

DOBsoN AND sTRAYHORN.

John Dobson and J. L. Strayhorn,
Democratic and Republican electors,
made speeches in Browns Opera
House last Friday night, speaking
over an hour each, Mr.. Strayhorn
opening. Weknew him at Chapel Hill
when he was considered an orator of
no mean powers and unexpected that
his practice Of the Law had develop
ed his ability and that he would APP
pear before the people well prepared,
with logical arrangement of facts
forcibly put, but we were mistaken.
His speech was weak. He aeknowl-
edged as much in the beginning and
before he got half through his au-
dience agreed with him unanimously.
He presented a weak side weakly.
Mr. Dobson's speech was humor-
Gus. He devoted himself more to
laughing at Mr.. Strayhorn and his
arguments than to. the strong argu-
ments on the Democratic side which
he could have brought forward,
although he made many good
points and made them well. He is a
man of strong native intellect, roll
licking humor and occasi onally rises
to eloquence.,
THE SENTINEL knows it's readers
will hear enough of political speaking
to make repetition here of the ar
guments of Messrs Dobson and
Strayhorn of little interest. By way
of conclusion, we just want to say
that by the time John Dobson gives
Strayhorn a few more such rounds,
Strayhorn will be mighty tired and
it will take more campaign s'soap"
than Loge Harris has in the shop to
heal his lacerated feelings.

RROwER'S DISCOUkTESY.

DALTON, N. c., Oct. 81 will
give you my experience in staying all
night with the Hon. John M. Brewer.
I was driving Winston livery team
at the time Mr. Brewer was elected to
the State Senate from Surry county
I took him home from Winston, and
the following shows hows he treated
he: arrived at his house about
o'clock and put my team up and went
to the house to get my supper. [
knocked at the door and Mr.. Brewer
wanted to know who was there. told
him I was the man that brought him
home, and wanted my supper. Mr..
Brewer says, 1--WE don't have supper
this time of.night." then asked him
where / should sleep. He told me to
go down to the negro cabin and they
1the negroes) would show me where to
sleep. When went down to the
negro cabin they teld me that Brewer
said for me to sleep with them, but
the negro said he had more respect for
a white man than to tell bin any SUCH
The negro told me to go back to the
house and maybe Brewer would let
me stay in the house. But he would
not do it, and / had to stay with the
negroes and sleep on some old wagon
sheets and plant-bed cloths. / write
you this to show you what respect
such men as the Hon. John M. Brow
er have for the poor white man, aud I
hope that he will never have the
chance Of being elected to any office
again. W. M HEATH.

Tariff Talk.
FOmaho World I

j
Henry Clay has. always been look
ed upon as the father and high priest
of the American protective tariff sys-
TEN. Yet even under the tariff of
1924, which is known in American
history as the Clay tariff, and which
he intended and argued should only
continue while the infant industries
it fostered were in a state of develop
ment-even under that tariff, which
was at the time supposed to be the
very climax of the protective theory,
the taxes on the important necessarits
of life were by no means as high as
they are ROW. The Clay tariff i'm
posed a tax of about 25 per cent ON
cotton goods /; the tariff now is 48 per
cent, and the Mills bill only proposes
to reduce it to 40 per cent, leaving it
thus l5 per cent. above Clay's tariff.
The tariff ON raw wool under the
Clay tariff was 25 per cent; under the
present tariff it is just twice as high,
while the Mills bill proposes to abol-
ish it in the interest of manufacturers
and of the consumer.
The Clay tariff on wooden goods
was 80 per cent orr present tariff is
70 per cent. and the Mills bill 40 per
cent. Was Clay, the father of pro
lection 9 free trader?
Under Clay's tariff, lumber was free,
now it is taxed 20 per cent, aud the
Mills bill proposes again to make it
free.
Under Clay's tariff, general iron
manufacturers were taxed % per
cent. under the present tariff he tax
is 40 per cent. /; under the Mills tariff
it is 40 per cent, or 10 per cent. more
than Clay favored.
The same figures apply to steel
manufacturers not otherwise provided
for.
Under the Clay tariff, flax goods
were taxed % per cent, and now they
are taxed 40 per cent, and the Mills
bill proposes to return to the Clay
rate OF % per cent.
Under the Clay tariff, glassware was
taxed about Is per cent; now it is
taxed about so per cent, and the
Mills bill proposes t, reduce the tax
to about 40 per cent.
In the above paragraphs we have
comparison of the leading or
most important features of Clay's pro-
tective tariff, the present tariff and
the proposed Mills tariff. These items
are most important because they COW
er the necessaries of life, upon the
price of (which the cost of living so
largely depends. 1t is evident that
the Clay tariff in these particulars
was much lower than the present tar
if, and that in most articles Of neces-
sity the Clay tariff was lower even
than the proposed Mills bill.
If, therefore, the Clay tariff was
protective measure, then in still
greater degree must the Mills bill be
called protective.
And yet there are honorable gen
tlemen and prominent party organs
who, through ignorance or dishonesty,
call the Mills bill free trade meas
ure.

to be reliable source that Mr.. Wal

ernor, said two years ago that he

Democratic party was beaten.
From the same source we have it
that he said this year, before the
Co avention met, that he would run on
tie third party ticket if the RepubI-
caas would give him $1,000. The
gentleman who told us this stands
ready to make good his words. Now

Winston, N. c., Oct. Oath, 1888.
They are both men of integrity OF
character. We could have had these
cards sworn to, but consider the
statements as good as affdavits.
Now let us see what these things
mean. The Republican makes the
statement, with no proofs to support
it, that no negroes went to Col
Dockery's room. Mr.. Vickers and
Mr.. Harris both say that negroes
did go to Dockery's room. The Re
publican doesn't know. Messrs. Har-
ris and Vickers do know and we will
take their statement every time.
Dockery had whiskey in his room,
and negroes went there. 1t isn't
probably that they would have visit
ed him unless they understood that
their visits would be agreeable, is il?
One negro was sent to his room and
came back drunk Isn't it fair in
ference that Dockery gave him the
liquor when it was in his room? We
think so and we believe the intelligent
part of the people agree with us.
Then if he gave drink to one negro,
isn't it very logical to conclude that
he gave it to others who visited him
upon several occasions?
THE SENTINEL stated that negroes
went to his room and one of them
got drunk Now isn't the evidence
we've produced sufficient to sustain
what we said?
We have no desire to defame any
man and we should never have said
anything OF Col. Dockery's disgrace
full doings if he had not aspired to
the high office of Governor. When
a man does this it is right for the
people to know exactly what kind of
a man it is that asks them to sup
port him.
We believe Col Dockery has for
feited the support of the decent men
of North Carolina and they ought to
bury him in oblivion on Nov 9Th.

wHY.HE CHANGED.
A Prominent Northern Editor Sees the
Error of His Way ana now En-
dorses the Mills Bill


Col. A K Mcclure is editor of the
Philadelphia Tim. and is one of the
ablest thinkers in the Union. Until
recently he opposed tariff reduction
and sided with the John Sherman
stripe of high proiectionists. The
following extract from recent speech
shows why he. changed his opinions
and The SENTINEL commends it to
the thinkers of North Carolina
"Let me say here that two years ago
1 opposed the free list proposed by
the Mills bill. [ opposed frae- wool
and the entire list because I believed
the manufacturers, who said it would
imperil American industries Two
years ago my attention was first called
to this error by an address sent to
Congress by the Wool Manufacture
ers' Association. 1 went to Mr.. Bull
lock. one of the largest Republican
manufacturers of Philadelphia, and
asked DO the wooden manufactur-
ers of this country demand free wool ?
He said: They do. and unless they
can have it the industry will languish
and die
81 went to Mr.. Singerly, a Demo
crat, who has 800 men in his wooden
mill. When I asked it he wanted
free wool he said /: 4 can't operate my
mill and pay my labor fair wages with
out it, | went to a dozen different
Republican manufacturers and said:
Tell me whether wool should be free.
All said yes, that it was essential to
their prosperity, but added: L do
not want you to say so, do not quote
me- Is it surprising that l changed
my Judgment about free wool?
81 called upon Mr.. Berwind, the
largest coal operator hn Philadelphia,
and a very liberal Republican, as Mr..
Cooper knows, and asked whether
coal should be free. He said that no
man but a lunatic would levy tax
on cal. The tax of seventy five
cents ton affects only Nova Scotia
COAL said he. If it should be taken
off Canada would take off her tax on
our coal, and we would send to Cana
da 100000 tons a year.
81 went to Charles Potts, who has
one of the largest tin houses in Phila-
delphia, and said: Tell me, Mr..
Potts, should tin be free? IF any
man says that tin ought not to he free,
I would send him to an insane asylum,
he replied I'VE don't make ton of
it. Why should our people pay ST.
100000 year in taxes on it !?
81 called on Mayor Filter. Tell
me. Mr.. Mayor said l, how long it
would require you to manufacture all
the hemp grown in the United States.
'Well,' said he, about six months,
and for that S25 ton is put on all
hemp imported into the United States.
I would be false to intelligence and in
tegrity if I did not yield to the
Judgment of thes men in favor Of free
raw material.
"Why should lumber be taxed II
to 20 per cent? There is no labor
protected by it. God has made the
lumber grow upon the mountains with
out labor. If there were any indus
try to protect, would say, tax it. AND
yet they say to make it free is free
trade"
This is frank, reasonable and char
acteristic. Slowly but certainly the
cause of revenue reform moves for
