DOING BETTER!
FOUR HUNDREDDOLLAR
YESTERDAY!
THE PEOPLE RESPONDED LIB
ERALLY TO THE APPEAL, AS
THEY ALWAYS DO
When Made Fully Acquainted With
the. Distress They are Asked to (
Relievc.-A Good Days Work
Done Yesterday Keep it Up.

Ashpviile bumped herself yesterS
day. and it affords us much pleas
are % announce the liberal dona-
lions made By our citizens for the
alleriation Of the suffering peo-
ple Florida. We thought
Elle While t6at our, peo-
were not 80 uncharitable as they ap-
peared to be on Thursday, when
only thirty dollars was subscribed
by them, but their action yesterday
has removed whatever doubt there
might have been in our mind, re-
garding their lack Of true christian
charity, in this particular instance.
Four hundred dollars in one day is
very respectable sum indeed, and
we hope that twice that amount
will be raised to-day. There are
ten thousand inhabitants in Ashe~
vile, and if each one OF these will
give only thirty cents, We will send
to Jacksonville three thousand dol
lars. This amount represents pres
ciBely the add that AsheVille is
able to give, and should give to
those, who, by Gods visitations, are
in1he very throes of death and
starvation. There is no good reason
why Asheville should not help
Jacksonville to this extent, and we
are free to confess, that in our opin-
ion, had Ashsville been afflicted as
Jacksonville has been and is now,
the latter city would not have been
negligent in helping to alleviate and
eradicate her misfOrtunes. The peo-
pie of AsheVille should think of this
matter; we have no right to feel IRE
exempt from the direful visitations
Of Providence than any other city,
and who can foresee that Asheville
will always be prosperous and free
from those circumstancesWhich leave
desolation and destruction in their
wake? Active among the workers
in the city yesterday, we're Msssrr.

Henry Clay on the Tariff.

The Nashville Democrat of a
recent date contains an extract
from a letter of Henry Clay, written
in September, 1843. 1t was ad-
dressed to S. F. Bronson, of Geor-
gia, and gives, in brief, Mr.. Claws
views on the tariff. The extract is
as follows:
The sum and substance of what
| conceive to be the true policy of
the. United States, in respect to a
tariff, may be briefly stated. In con-
foI nifty with the principle announc-
ed M the compromise act, l think
that whatever revenue is necessary
TO an economical and honest ad-
ninistration of the general governs
ulent ought to be derived from the
duties imposed on foreign imports,
and discrimination ought to he
made as will incidentally afford
reasonable Protection to. oalr 4nation<
Il interests. I think there is no
danger of a high tariff being ever
established; that of 1898 was en-
inently deserving that denomina-
tion. / was not in Congress when
it passed and did not vote for it;
but with its history, and with the
circumstances which gave birth to
it, 1 am well acquainted. They
were highly discreditable to Ameri-
can legislation, and hope, for its
honor, will never be again repeated.
After my return to Congress in
1891, my efforts were directed to
the modification and reduction of
the rates of duty contained the act
in the act of 1928. The act OF 1892
greatly reduced and modified them;
and the act of 1888, commonly.
called the compromise act, still fur-
ther reduced and modified them.
The act which passed at the extra
session of I84I, which 1 supported
was confined to the free articles. l
had resigned my seat in the Senate
when the act of I842 was passed.
Generally the duties which it inn
poses are lower than those in the
act of 1899. And without intend
ing to express any opinion upon
every item of this last tariff, would
say that think the provisions, in
the main, are wise and proper. If
there be any excesses or defects
in it (ot which l have not the
means here of judging1, they ought
to be corrected. My opinion, that
there is no danger hereafter of
high tariff, is found on the graft.
flying fact that our manufactures
have now taken a deep root. In
their infancy they needed greater
measure of protection; but as they
grew and advanced they acquired
less protection. Even now some
branches of them are able to MAIN
tain in distant markets successful
competition with rivals1 foreign
manufactures.

George G. Orose, editor of the Dakota
Ruralist, farmers alliance organ, and
Colonel s. G. Conklin, editor of the
Watertown Dakotian, farmers alliance
organ, have both taken the stump in
behalf of the congressional candidacy OF
George A, Mathews, republican. MIR.
Loucks, president OF the alliance, is do.
ing the best he can on the other side.
The farmers alliance has shaped itself
to- the political contest as was expected
in the beginning-the republican mem-
bers support republican candidates and
the democratic members support demo-
cratic candidates. This is the uudoubt-
ed privilege of farmers, as Of other :ndi-
viduaIs. MIR. Loncks failed in his effort
to drag the alliance into the democratic
camp because OF the loyalty OF Its mem
bers to their personal political convIc.
tions and because the alliance is in no
sense political organization.
q. P. Packard, member of the alli-
ance, expresses the views Ct the rank
and file of that organization in letter
written at Redfeld, in which he says:
/ see letter written by Mr.. Loucks,
president of the farmers alliance, which
has been printed in circular form and
sent broadcast over the territory through
all the democratic papers as supple
ment. In this letter Mr.. Loucks at.
tempts to criticize the Ruralist editor
for ex xpressing himf elf favorable to Mr..
Mathews for delegate to congress. and
said that because he is the editor of the
official organ of the alliance he is not the
political mouth piece of the alliance
members. l want to ssy right here that
| am member OF the alliance and as an
organization we do not authorize Mr..
Loucks to blow our political bugle-
that be simply has bis duty to perform
as president and that believe the ma
jority OF the alliance members ere not in
accord With his support OF Harden aB
against Mathews and do not uphold him
In allowing his uame as president to be
used for q political purpose. While we
are farmers, we are chiefly republicans
when republicans can serve our interest.
and we believe Mr.. Mathews can and
will, il In position SO to do, equally as
we'll il not better than democrat, and
we do not care to kaye the public believe
that Mr.. Loucks voices the sentiment OF
the alliance simply because he himself is
favorable to democrat. When he claims
that the editor of the Ruralist is not au-
thorized to speak politically for the alIi-
auce, I soy most emphatieally MIR. Loueks
is much less authorized so to speak and
on the contrary most OF it's members de-
precate his action in allowing his name
to be used in attempting to influence
farmers votes for aay party.

him few days before, and he stopped
me to give the following roseate view oi
the republican chances. Said he:
"When l met you last Saturday had

sider the democrats beaten in the state

vices are altogether erroneous We shall

10 COO majority. but with 100 900. None
of our estimates put it under 100 900,
and You can bet that it will be 12O, ,0OO,'
well, then, what do you expect about
the city of New York ?''
From the best can learn Harrison
will poll l05,C00 in the city of New
York.
"Where are these votes coming from

SIDE OF town in both the Irish and
German districts, and Harrison is going
to have larger vote from the Irish
than Blame had In 1884. He will get
all those Irish votes which were demon.
mated in 1884 those who had crossed the
last ditch, and he will get this time
accessions from their friends. In nv

''Ihen you really think that Harrison

81 have no doubt of it. They have
got to do something desperate between
now and election day or they are beaten. y
What is the effect of two democratic
candidates running for mayor upon their
national oandidate?"
"That is not going to hurt. A gem
eral rule, when there are two democratic
local tickets, their pational vote is in.
creased. l have always gone on that
supposition, which Is based upon plenty

'Do you consider that Miller has any

"Yes, he has much better chance
than he had few weeks ago. His posi-
ton on the high license question has

Whom do you regard as liable to. be

''Either Grant or Erhardt. Hewitt is
out of the race. He will make bad
third"
''You don't mean to say that Erhardt
has any chance being elected meyor?"
'Yes. he can afford to lose 20 per cent

Cleveland and oiyil Service neform,

1t is becoming q tedious task to point
out the shortcomings of the administra-
tion in the matter of the civil service.
They are numerous, oft repeated aud Sc
riously prejudicial to the welfare of the
public. The presidents letters and orders
have become dead letters, one and all,
and partisanship rs offensive and politi-
tai activity as pernicious as have ever
prevailed since the spoils system began
its iniquitous sway are now lsabitual In
all branches of the government service.
These things have become notorious.
They are crying evils. They should com
mand more attention than they receive,
because the country was justified in look
ing for something different. These OBJ
seryations are pertinent in connection
with the letters furnished by Washing
ton correspondents, revealing the politi-
cal schemes engaged in by Assistant
Postmaster General Stevenson and Inter-
state Commissioner Morrison. 1t is q
sorry and shameful showing. Assuredly
no one who ever avowed q belief In Mr..
Cleveland as reformer can read these
disclosures without blush.--New York

ing from the executive office OF the Win
dow Glass Workers assembly, No. 300,
K. of L., in Pittsburg, Pa:
Dear Sir-The window glass workers
organization has decided to put three of
its members into the field to speak for
protection, namely, Patrick Clary, A. M.
Hammett and James Campbell.
AS the Republicans in congress voted
against the Mills bill and did all in their
power to defeat and prevent its passage,
and the Republican platform guaran-
tees protection to American industries
and American workmen, and the
fight this fall is one for the mainten-
ance of the high standard the American
workmen have obtained under the system
Of protection which the Democratic party
are seeking to destroy, therefore the asso-
ciation has placed at the disposal of your
committee on speakers three men. They
will 60 anywhere you send them, and the
organization will pay all their expenses,
as the organization has decided to do all
1t can to defeat Cleveland and every one
who voted for the Mills bill, which, If 1t
becomes q law, VIII force the members Of
the organization to work for a large re.
duction of wages.
JAMES Campbell, President"

bers, and in Indiana there are 8,0O0 of
