The western sentinel. [volume] (Winston-Salem, N.C.) 1887-1926, 1889-01-17
A New York man has announced

tackled Mr.. Gou'd The greatest
newspapers have assailed him. The
greatest fnanciers have pulled his
hair. But all the time he has come
up smiling, and at the conclusion of
the row showed no sign that he
wished that he had not been born.
And SO the impression has obtained
that he was not born to be abashed
or to regret. And in this connec-
ton j may be mentioned that he
gave each ofhis children 500, 600 on
Christmas morning. It's not natur-
al for a man who can do this to be
sorry about his past or his present.

A presidential election conducted
with open and shameless bribery
for which no one has yet been even
indicted should be, as Mr.. Piatt de-
clares, "simply appalling to those
who love their country and believe
in the great republic" Other forms
of electoral fraud and chicanery are
bad enough, but the organized and
deliberate purchase of votes by
wholesale is ia poisoning of the
spring head ITSELF" Are the peo-
pie content that nothing shall be
done about it? esu

ie A safe and lock company in Gin
cinnati-by name notified
its men before the election that
Harrison's success was a vital ques-
ton with all iron handlers. There
fore vote for Harrison it you want
work and wages. The men turned
out in a body and so voted. On
Saturday after election came the
notification of a reduction of wages
ranging from 10 to 80 per cent.
The dissatisfied men were discharged.
And so we go. Hurrah for protec-
ton! s.

The entire and absolute repeal Of
-fa
the Internal Revenue system has long
been and will continue to be the posi-
ton of the North Carolina Democracy
on this question Of internal taxation.
That position has again been defined
in unmistakable terms by the1 Demo-
cratic members of the legislature now
in session at Raleigh. Down with the
war taxes And away with the tariff
on the necessaries of life, also. An
economical administration of the gov
eminent will bring about both.
