GEN. HARRISON ON PROTECTION.
A Tcrse Statement OF the Attitude of the
Two Parties and Candidates..

A Tcrse Statement OF the Attitude Of the
Two Parties and Candidates.
In his speech to the delegates and citi-
zens who went to his home to congratu.
late him on his nomination Gen. Harrison
said:
"There is another question to which the
Republican party has committed itself.
and on the line of which it has accom-
plished, as l believe, much, for the pros
perity OF tho country. Ibslieve the Re-
publican party is pledged, and ought
to be pledged, to the doctrine of
the protection of American Industries
and American labor. believe that in SO
faras our native inventive gnnius-which
seems to have no limit-orlr productive
forces can supply the American market,
we ought to keep it for ourselves.
And yet this new captain on the bridge
seems to congratulate himself on tho fact
that tho voyage is still prosperous, not
outstanding the change Of commanders.
he seems to forget that the reason that
tho voyage is still prosperous is because
the course of tho ship was marked out he
fore he went on the bridge and the rudder
tied down. He has attempted to take a
new direction since he has been in com.
mand with a view of changing the sailing
course of the old craft, but it has seemed
to me that he has made the mistake of
mptaking the fash light of some British
lighthouse for the light of day. lido

Republican Platform.

LIST. That the interests of the farmer
and the laborer are identical, and
whatever injuriously effects one works
a grievance against the other.
I'd. The hand that holds the pillow
should be bonored, and there should
be a more equitable equation between
the wages of labor and the compen-
sation of the ofice-holder.
Sd. We look upon the purity of the
ballot-box as the best possible security
against threatening evils and we
demand such reasonable State legis-
lation as will fully protect the elector
in the exercise of the elective franchise.
Any denial of the elective franchise
by fraud or violence poisons the
springs of power.
4th. Agriculture, manufacture and
commerce are the three great factors
of civilization and all Legislation tend
ing to foster these agencies will re-
ceive the support of the Republican
party.
9th. While industry and economy
are always to be looked to for relief
from financial depression, individual
success necessarily depends to great
extent upon wise legislation. To
this end the total and unconditional
repeal of all internal revenue taxes
will greatly relieve the present par
alyzed industrial condition of the
country-both by relieving the
country of a swarm of unnecessary
officials and will relieve North Caro-
lima from this unequal and unjust tax.
Internal federal taxes belong only to
war and all revenues for the support
of the Federal government Gin times
of peace should be collected from
customs dues and their collection
should be so adjusted as to protect
American industries and labor.
9th. The general government
should not keep in its treasury any
more money than is actually necessary
to meet the demands of the govern
ment; and as the means of preventing
any further accumulation We demand
the repeal of the internal revenue
system of taxation and the passage
of the Blair educational bill as the
best method of public education and
of distributing the already accumulat-
ed surplus in the treasury.
7th. We are opposed to the present
system of county government and we
demand the election of all county and
township officers by the people.
Sth. The Republican party favors
and will earnestly support any legis-
lation looking to the abolition of all
useless State officials and Deepen
denotes, and the repeal of all un-
necessary taxation, that government
itself may not consume that which
it was intended to foster and protect.
9th. We favor the working of the
public roads by some system more
equitable than the present unjust and
burdensome one.
10th. That we oppose the present
system of hiring out convicts by the
State, so as to bring their labor in
competition with free labor.

Mrs WINsLows SOOTHING SYRUP, for chill
dren teething, is the prescription of one ofthe
best female nurses and physicians in the

Still They Go.

As the election draws near, civil
service is forgotten and republican
Office holders are removed to make
place for democrats. The old man
w. |. Eddins has been removed from
the Carolina Central road and Frank
Bizzcll of Laurinburg, succeeds him.
Mr.. Eddins has been in the service
about % years, but he was republi-
can. Though the time is short we
hope Mr.. Cleveland will turn the last
one of them out in time to vote the
republican ticket. Turn the rascals
out Mr.. Cleveland your time is short.
Let your boys in.

The Ideal Girl.

Do you know my ideal girl ? She is
seldom to be met with, but nevertheless
she exists. She has modest, girlish
sort of way about her that is very likely
to deceive, but to those who know hor
well she is the happiest, wittiest. bright
est of girls, and every inch tho true
woman when fairly aroused to action
She may not be the prcttiest of girls,
but when she gets fairly started in con-
versation you feel as if your very soul is
being drawn through her brilliant eyes,
and you become fully convinced that
there is something else to live for in this
world than simply your individual self.
When you are strong and yonr way is
clear before you, she is girlisb, full of
play and song; but when your heart
has been wounded, and the path before
you is dark and treacherous, you will
fiDd this ideal girl of mine both tender
in her sympathies and strong in her
womanhood divine light to lead you
safely through the channels of darkness
and despair There is one charm in
particular that admire in this ideal
girl of mine, and that is she never finds
time to gossip over the defects of her
weaker sisters neither does she find any
particular fascination in man who has
through cunning and strength, caused
the downfall and ruin Of some poor
weak-minded girl.-ArhansaW TaUeler

A WOMAN's ROMANCE.

That truth is stranger than fiction was
exenplifed on Halloween evening 10
saloon ut the corner of 117th street and
Third avenue, New York city. The
Evening Star tells the story in this
wise
Six years ago Bridget Moody landed
at Castle Garden, and since that time
has been at service in different families.
At present she is employed by Mr.. Wor-
dan, of 1853 East 117th street. Monday
evening she was sent to the saloon on
the corner with a pitcher for BEER
While standing at the counter waiting
to be served the bartender chaffed her
in good natured manner about Hal
lowe'en customs. At this moment a
well dressed man came into the saloon
and passed ovor to the blackboard upon
which the winning horses at the differ
ent race-tracks are posted. The bar
tender, as he handed the young woman
her pitcher of beer, said, jocosoly:
"Look in the glass, Bridget, and may
be you will see your future husband"
"Sure, I'll see your face there, and
I'll not marry the likes of you" retort-
cd the girl.
But she looked in the glass. The
quiet man at the black board gave a
start when he heard the girls voice.
He turned around and stepped up behind
her until his face, reflected in the mirror
peeped over the girls shoulder. Bridget
saw the face and her color forsook her.
With crash the pitcher fell to the
floor, and with an awed whisper she said :
"Tis the banshee p
mo, it's not, lassie % shouted the
man in hearty voice full Of joy. as he
clasped the girl in his arms, regardless
of the half-dozen men who had come in.
The girl put her arm around the mans
neck and sobbed softly, all the time say
ing:
'Ht's Dan, so il u.s." until Dan, with
one arm about her, exclaimed, hs he
asked the audience up to the bar:
This is my lass, mates, shipped
aboard vessel that went down at sea,
and [, with three others, was saved by
an East Indiaman. A year after went
home to Belfast and found my funeral
mass had been said and my lass had gone
to America. For six years | have been
hunting her, and, praise the Holy Moth
er, | have found her all of Halloween.
You may drink our health, mates, and
I'll pay for all"
Dan Chaffe was Bridget's old time
lover, and now is engineer of the ocean
steamship that plies between this city
and Liverpool. He said.
II don't know how it was that | went
up in that part of the city. got on
the elevated cars and rode out to the end
of them and strolled back Always. /
wanted a drink of ale, and went into the
first saloon handy. The barkeeper was
waiting on lady and | did not iutrude,
but Heaven bless the looking glass that's
over the bar, for in it found my lass. .
Dan will not work this trip, but will
remain in New York and make home
for Bridget. They will be married at
Bridget's employers, who will give her
a wedding to which all the neighbor'
will be invited.

Side Issues and Success.


The farmer who will come out ahead
in the race foI success is not he who is
continually turning aside from. the we'll
tried and beaten paths Of bis vocation to
follow the enticements of every enthu-
siast who comes to him with story of
some new plant or crop. which will give
him great and paying returns for his
labor. Sooner or later these unwar-
ranted deviations arc sure to result in
disaster and grief. No farmer who is
depending upon his fields for subsist-
cnce. especially if be DO burdened by
debts, can afford to indulge in them.
We think there Is safer course and
that is to study the capabilities of his
land-to ascertain what particular kinds
Of fertilizers are most economical and
certain for him. and what crops he eau
most successfully grow and dispose Of to
advantage.
Every now and then we read of some
body who has made largo amount Of
money from some particular crop not
generally grown by the farmer, except
in small quantities. Only day or two
ago it was thirteen hundred dollars for
an acre Of spinach One man had sold
three hundred dollars worth of dande-
lions, another had realized great results
from breadth of mushrooms, another
had had large returns from an acre of
onions, and still another had been well
paid by crop of Jerusalem artichokes.
Such statements in these times of sharp
competition and low prices among our
farmers are apt to turn many men from
the beaten tracks and induce them to
seize eagerly upon such side issues, to
the neglect of other things of more i'm
portance to them. If in neighborhood
where the demand for all such crops as
we have mentioned is very limited. of
what avail is it if the farmer can raise
enormous supplies Of them II is sim
ply money and labor lost and valuable
ground occupied that might have been
far better appropriated.
If farmer is living near to large
city or town it may pay him well to
grow a great variety Of such productions
as will be of ready sale in market, and
then he can make cautious experiments
on the side issues--for he will be en-
bled by every day observations of traffic,
and his study of the question Of supply
and demand, to act intelligently and
economically in the matter. Only few
years ago much money was made in all
tho side issues by our farmers and gar
deners, but things arc much changed
now. There are so many workers in
the field that all such chances have been
much narrowed down. The question in
these days of success to the farmer turns
closely on habits of industry and perse-
verance, strict attention to all tho details,
careful outstanding Of all home re-
sources, close cutting down Of indoor
and outdoor expenses, and studied
avoidance Of contracting debts. Ii the
beginner will mark out for himself q
course embracing all of these cardinal
points and steadily pursue it, he will be
enabled to move along safely and with
out much fear Of interference from the
sheriff
