Th ought to be an Impost or.

The High Point Enterprise tells us that
an elderly man, in ordinary citizens
garb, and claiming to be gentleman from
near Linwood, called at the residence of Mr.
Joel 6. Anderson last Wednesday evening
and inquired for a horse which he said had
gotten away from him, and then asked for
lodging, which was granted. During the
night he was heard rumaging about in the
house, and when asked what he wanted,
made some excuse and got back in bed. He
was not suspicioned until after breakfast
next morning, when he spoke of staying till
8 or 9 o'clock, and then directly disappear
ed, no one observing when nor in what d.
rection he went The man gave his name
as Ellis Mr.. Anderson is satisfied that he
is an impostor, and thinks he has evil de-
signs, and warns the public to look out for
him.

Help the Soldier Boys!

The Forsyth Rifemen have issued neat
circular, addressed to the business men OF
the rwin-City, asking them to assist the
Company in their proposed erection of an
armory building on their lot s4x100 feet,
on north side of Third Street between Lib
erty and Elm streets. The purchase price
for said lot was $500, of which amount
81 700 has been paid in cash by the Com
pany, thus leaving $500 yet unpaid As
soon as the balance of the purchase money
is paid the company announces that it will
be able to secure the erection of the build
ing at once.
A duly authorized Committee will wait
upon the citizens and THE SENTINEL hopes
that every business man in Winston-Salem
will contribute literally. By so doing you
will lend helping hand to worthy insti-
tuition, and each member of the Company
will appreciate heartily every cent denoted
to their cause. Help the boys and make

A Suggestive Bit Of History.

This policy of protecting our industries
never became party question until John
@. Calhoun made it such after the cleo
ton of Jackson, in 1928. 1t was then
that tho present Democratic party, under
the leadership of Calhoun, was reorgan-
lied and based on three distinguishing
ideas or principles.
They were slavery, free trade and Sc
cession, or notification, as 1t was then
called. Slavery and secession are dead,
and it would be we'll for us If free TRADE
were dead also. But it is not. 1t has
been revived and brought forth to be
again battled for in the canvass now cur
rent. While it is matter of regret that
any considerable number of our fellow
citizens should believe in this doctrine,
yet on the other hand, it is to Republi-
cans matter Of congratulation that
their Democratic friends have at last
openly espoused their own cause, and
that as consequence tho lines have been
definitely drawn, and the opportunity
fairly given to win a victory that will
have some significance. In considering
this question, it should be remembered
that the primary idea Of q protective
tariff is today just what it was when the
government commenced Governor For

A Fallacy Neatly Exposed.

Free trade would not open foreign
markets to us. That is fallacy, Matched
in the colleges and circulated by free
trade fanatics. Foreign countries would
not buy any more of US under free trade
taan they do now. We have free trade
with Brazil in coffee, yet last year we i'm
ported SEC, 900, 900 worth of coffee, free of
duty, and Brazil only took about $1,000
600 worth Of goods from us. We i'm
ported SIG, 100000 worth of tea, FREQ of
duty, yet China only took about $4,000
600 worth of goods from us. If
we had free tradc with Great Bri-
tain she would flood this country
with her manufactures and not takc O
dollars worth moro of our breadstuffs
than she does now. She only takes any
of our produce because she has to and she
would not take any more under free trade
than she does under protection. Great
Britain engages in commerce to mako
money for herself, not for other people.
The foreign market rot Is one of the worst
fallacies in the whole business What
we want to do is to take care of the homo
market and let foreign markets tako care

Startling Discovery.

The discovery by the inhabitants
of locality hitherto unvisited by the
pestllent scourge OF fever and ague,
that it exists in their very midst, is
decidedly startling. Such discover
les are made at every season, in every
part of the Union. Subsequently,
when it is ascertained, as it invariably
is at such times, through the valuable
experience of some one who has been
benefited and cured, that Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is thoroughly effica-
cious eradicator Of the material pois-
on, and means Of fortifying the
system against 1t, feeling Of more
security and tranquility reigns
throughout the whole neighborhood.
Besides the febrile forms of malarial
disease, dun ague and ague cake are

Riding In the cars, few days ago,
merchant of this city was explaining his
objection to the Mills bill. 1t would re
duce tho cost of goods somewhat, he
thought, but tho agents of foreign manu-
facturers and their drummers, who would
then go about the country seeking orders,
would be able to undersell business men
in his own and many departments and
drive them out of trade. In front of him
sat substantial looking worllingman,
who presently turned and said: Il am
foreman of the - works ut -, where
we have 200 men employed, nearly all of
whom voted for Cleveland in 1884. Not
long ago the owners of the works called
US together, and made plain state
ment of their business for the last few
years. showing that they had been able
to make slender but living profit selling
goods at current prices and paying cur
rent wages that the proposed reduction
Of duties would of necessity close the
works, unless there should be reduction
Of wages, and then saying that it seemed
to them the workingmen had the same
interest in this question with themselves.
We have talked the matter over, and
nearly every one of us will vote for Har-
rison and protection.
This casual conversation, which was
not intended to be reported, shows how
employers and employed are examining
the Democratic tariff bill in all the manu-
featuring states. The conferences nre
for mutual interests, and there Is no CO.
ercion about them. Every sensible en-
ployer knows that he cannot coerce the
votes of his employees If he would, and
that he throws away all power to con-
vince their reason if be attempts to con-
troll their votes in any other way than by
legitimate argument. Men Of sense,
therefore, are taking the worlSingmen
into their counsel, showing them just
what tho business pays with wages and
duties where they are, and what would
be the effect of q proposed change of duty.
The theoretical discussions in speeches,
papers and pamphlets have but little
weight compared with these personal OK
plantations. When q man sees that lower
duties mean no work or lower wages for
him, no Is prepared to understand that
lower wages or no work for millions of
workingmen throughout tho country

Outrageous Work in the Pension ONCE


The present administration has been
guilty Of q good many disgusting and out
rageous performances in connection with
an effort to justify its actions before the
people, but 1t has done nothing moro
brazenly partisan than to employ tho
clerks Of tho pension department in COM
posing q campaign document indorsing
the presidents vetoes of pension bills.
While these clerks have been ut work
compiling figures and making extracts
from certain records of tho pension office,
the ordinary business has been permitted
to suffer, and the work of tho office, al
ready far behind has been suffered to lag
still more. We would like to know
whether tho United States pay salaries
for tho compilation Of political documents,
and II so, why the Republicans, the Pro-
kibitionists, or the Labor parties are not
entitled to similar privileges.
The fact that the president or his cam
paign managers feel that defense Is
necessary confirms the Republican asser-
ton that the vetoes were unjust. Cleve-
land knows that he has never treated the
soldier with the great regard that he
should. He has no sympathy with him or
his cause. AS election day approaches he
hypocritically whimpers for his vote and
converts tho pension Office into q political
machine, hampering and delaying the
work for which it was established. -

Slightly Sarcastic, but Painfully True.


1t is very singular that the white voters
of the south are in such q state Of abject
terror ut the designs of the negroes, while
at tho same time If ON actual conflict oc-
ours it is always tho whites who are the
attacking party and the negroes who suf-
fer. A dispatch from town in Louisiana,
for example, says that an armed body of
forty white men left certain locality and
went to another place to meet some more
armed white men, their purpose being to
proceed to place known as Long Blues,
where 1t is reported that the negrl s have
armed and made threats against the white
residents of that neighborhood.
If the colored voters of the south are
such fierce and desperate lot Of people,
it is very strange how suddenly they be-
come peaceable about election time, or at
any rate, how little their votes seem to
count in an election. In nineteen con-
gressional districts in FIVE southern states
there were, in 1885, about 800, 900 colored
votes, and yet in those nineteen districts
there was not single Republican vote
registered as having been cast. Probably
the negroes made threats before the cleo
ton; that is, threats of voting the Re-
publican ticket; and, as in Louisiana,
they were waited upon by armed white
NEE and induced to withdraw their
threats, and to be amenable to the logic
of rifles and shot guns with white men
behind them.
No wonder the south Is solid for Clevc-
land, when more than 1000, 900 voters
are as much deprived of the right Of suf-
frage as If the fifteenth amendment had
never passed; and yet southern Demo.
Gratis keep up the cry of sectionalism, and
sheer at the outrage mill" as persistently
as ever. But cutrages on voters are O
fact, nevertheless, and 1t Is always the
negro voter who suffers, never the white
Democrat. Sen Francisco Chronicle.
