The effect has been to disconnect the
proposition to amend the Internal Revenue

of which is the reduction Of duties on i'm

il is well known that Congress will not
agree on that subject, while there is reason
to expect that the repeal of the tobacco
tax may get through both hou- es. If such
should be the result, Mr.. Cowles will have

mand Of the people for reduction of du-

strong point in favor of the election Of

gun year or two earlier, he would have

everywhere gained votes in the manufac-

the class in whose behalf it is pretended,
the high protective duties are imposed.
But he lost ground in the agricultural
districts, among the farmers where dis

there is less opportunity for an inter-

Co1sTIvuTIoNALA LAMENDMENT.

From Spirit OF the \ ge
At the recent session of the Grand Lodge
of Good Templars of North Carolina it
was ordered by that body that petitions
be circulated over the State for signatures,
which, when signed, should be presented
to the Legislature to pass a law, submit
ting TO the vote of the people a constitu-
tional amendment to prohibit the manu-
facture sale, importation and expectation
of alcoholic beverages in North Carolina.
The Grand Secretary has had the blank
petitions prepared and they are being scat
tered over the State for signatures.
1t is to be hoped that those who take an
interest in the matter will circulate the
petitions and secure all the signatures
they caa, within the next 90 days, and
send them TO the Grand Secretary on or
before the 10Th of February, SO that they
may be presented to the Legislature.
Ii is not possible that, in so short a time,
a tenth part of the names of those who
favor the measure can be secured; but
enough may be to satisfy the Legislature
that there is strong demand on the part
Of the people for something to be done to
put down the drink traffic in the State.
Here IS the form of the petition:
To THE HONORABLE THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
OF NORTH CAROLINA:
We, the undersigned citizens and voters
Of the county Of --. and State Of
North Carolina, respectfully petition
your honorable body to pass law TO sub
nit to a vote of the people of the State, in
August next, a Constitutional amendment
to prohibit the manufacture, sale, impOr
tation, expectation and transportation of
alcoholic beverages in the State Of North
Carolina.
