GENERAL BARRINGER TO JOHN
SIHENCk.
He Advises Independence in CoIOrcd
voters. and Cleveland is the Man.


CHARLOTTE, N. c., Oct. 19, 1888.
Mr.. JOHN I. SCHESCk.
DEAR SIR Want of time and other
causes prevent a full reply to you in
Chronicle. But answer briefly:
o. | am glad you favor Gen. Fisk.
Sooriety, fidelity, integrity, industry,
thrift. economy and like virtues are abso
lut"ly essential to human progress and
civilization.
q The vital issue, however, in this
contest is the business and industrial one
made by President Cleveland, which hits
all Trusts and organized wrongs-the
/ Whiskey Trust included.
g am sure that most of our labor
troubles and financial dcpressions come
from high tariff taxes and the idle surplus
locked up, (~ome hundred and forty mil
, li0us of doliars,) just as Cleveland says.
| tm also sure that high prot Injuries
agriculture, the small industries aud the
ordinary labor. A steady home market
is needed for few perishable products;
bat the great staples require the markets
OF the world. Extremes are often dan
gerOus. New England, under the stimu-
| lus OF high duties is dotted over with
III tnufacturing towns, but farm life is
nearly destroyed, and her best men are
now for Cleveland and reduction. 50 in
! Pennsylvania, where high tariff industries
most prevail, you also see lock outs and
! strikes the year round. and trampS abound.
| And without a competing foreign market
| the homo factories simply food the coun-
try with sham and shoddy goods, and
thus cheat the ignorant poor: especially
una1vised coiored people. Honest home
mills do not fear competition.
These were my views as far back as
| 1S51-52, when. as State Senator from
Cabarrus and Staniy, effered resolutions
''opposiug any increase OF tariff taxes. ;

your own people to consider. l myself
| favor many changes and reforms for the
benefit of the masses. But they will bt
slow to come, so long as the colored vote

NichOls's Campaign in Johnston.
[From Smithfield Herald

During this week, John Nichols, the
Radical candidate for Congress, has been
canvassng in Johnston county. He is
a, companied by two men, Ball and Keith.
Keith makes one Of the most contemplate
speeches we ever heard. He says Cleve-
land has appointed 800 negroes to Office.
This is a lie. Cleveland has appointed
only two negroes to office, one Trotter as
Registrar in the District Of Columbia and
another as Minister Liberia. He has APP
pointed no other negroes 10 Office.
Nichols refuses to divide time with any
one. Mr.. E. w. Pou, Jr., requested a
division of time here aud Nichols refused.
The people of O'neals requested Senator
}. H. Pou to reply to Nichols al Hare $
Store, but Nichols refused and Mr.. Pou
would not force himself on some other
mans appointment
These Radcals don't want a division of
time They prefer ''darkr*ss rather than
light, because their deeds are evil"

NESSRS. CRAWFORD AND SCOTT, Demo-
cratic candidates for the Senate and House
in AiamaIce, are out in an address to the
voters in which they say many good and
sensible things. From their card We make
one extract:
The present system # county govern
ment, or one similar u lis protective
features to the Eastern counties is abso-
lutely essential. Without this the people
of those counties would be completely uu
der negro rule. And it IS fact that from
year to year the negroes become more per
sistent in their demands, and more de
terminea to assume absolute control whcr-
ever their numbers justify the attempt.

The Sampson Democracy, like the N'.or-
tleberries of the county, are 6 ru: Blu.
They are dreadfully in earnest his year
and determined to give Judge Fowle and
Grover Cleveland / 900 majority. RadI
cal Elector Moore made them mad that
they have nearly made up their minds to
give 200 majority. If he would go there
and make another speech, the county would
go Democratic by nearly ! 800 majority.
1t does q man good to go to Sampson and
catch the Democratic contagion. 1t is in
the air and he will certainly catch ii aud
it will do him good.
Sampson will send three Democrats to
the Legislature and Senator Kerr and i;tp
