RECIPROCITY.

4. That while maintaining this Amer
ican policy, and as auxiliary to its pur-
pose, it is the duty of Congress to seek
to open markets abroad for our super
abundant productions by such legisla-
ton regarding our traffic with other
nations as shall be mutually advantag-
eOus in the exchange of commodities,
the introduction of which will not be
determined to our people by injurious
ly affecting their industries in favor of
FOREIGN rivals.

1t may not be known that the true
source of wealth OF Chill is in its nat
ural deposits of nitrate of soda and
other salts. The vast deserts between
the CamarOnes and the Copiapo have
have been aptly compared to a great
laboratory, so great is their richness in
salts Of various kinds. Theodore Child
IN the forthcoming number of Harper's
Weekly, will describe a recent visit to
these nitrate deserts" and will relate
some curious facts in regard to the pc
culiar and extended industries of that

A WONDERFUL TEST.

JOhnstone frequently performed the
same feat in western cities, and today
his manager, w. E. Cooling, decided
to try the same test which had proved
fatal to Bishop in New York, that of
finding name in register and pro-
nOuncing it. A committee of well
known newspaper men and DR.. J.C.
Butler drove in hack from the Audi
tOrium Hotel to the Grand Pacific
Hotel by a difficult route, and going to
the hotel register selected a name.
leaving one committeeman, Mr.. Charles
Lereder in charge of the register the
party returned to the Auditorium,
where JOhnstOne had remained in GUS
tOdy of one Ofthe members of the COM
mittee, so that there could be no posi-
bic chance of collusion. They band
aged JOhnstOne's eyes securely.

ECONOMY.

z. That the expenses of conducting
both state and county affairs have i'm
properly increased, are still increasing
and ought to be diminished, and as
fruitful sources of such increases we re-
fer especially to the practice of legisla-
ture grants of money for objects of no
public utility, to the lengthening of
legislative sessions by frequent ad-
journments without necessity, and to
extravagant allowances, particularly
by levy courts, resulting in the enor-
nous swelling of the county indebted
ness-that on these and other matters
involving like consequences. a just re-
gard to the right of the people to have
an economical conduct of government
demands substantial retrenchment.

FEDERAL ELECTION BILL.

cy Hon. n. B. Smithers, and adopted
by the Convention last week at Dover
FEDERAL ELECTION BILL.
1. That the fundamental principle of
a representative republic is freedom
and equality in the exercise of the
right of suffrage by those in whom the
trust is reposed, and whensOever those
so entitled are prevented or impeded in
the choice of public agents, no matter
under what pretext, and whether by
force or fraud, by which means we
charge that the Democratic party has
controlled the national House of Rep
resentatives for the greater part of six
teen years, it is the right, it is the duty
of those who are charged with the rem
edy for such evil, to take care that the
republic shall suffer no .detriment, by
the use of all the means legally con-
ferred upon them, whether by exclu-
sion of those so wrongfully or corrupt
ly chosen or by the enactment of laws
adequate and best adapted for the pre-
ventation of the wrong.
MAJORITY CONTROL IN CONGRESS.
2. That not only by the properly in
herent power belonging to every de-
Lucrative body, but by the express
grant of national Constitution, each
house OF Congress has the exclusive
right to determine the rules of its pro-
ceedings, and whatsoever by open dec
laration or manifest intent the settled
purpose on the part of the minority in
either house is demonstrated, factious-
ly to hinder the progress of legislation,
it becomes not only the right but the
reasonable and imperative duty of such
house to free itself from obstruction bv
the adoption of such regulations of cl0-
sure, or ascertainment of quorum or
otherwise, so tha the regular and or
derly transaction of business may be
secured: and in the maintenance and
enforcement of this right, so essential
to the welfare of the people, the wis
dom of the founders of the government
in explicitly by vesting this power in the
majority has, by the present House of
Representatives, been fully vindicated.
Smyrna times., 1890-09-17
JAIL REFORM.

13. That rigid economy in each of
the several departments of the state
and county governments is absolutely
required. And that all unreasonabl e
and unnecessary expenditures should
be carefully guarded against. And to
this end we believe it would certainly
promote the public good if all prison
ers in the several jails in the state
should be fed by contract awarded to
the lowest bidder. And that some en-
plOyment which shall not compete
with honest labor, should be provided
for such prisoners, so that the iails may
not be made mere asylums for a class
of vagrants. whose maintenance there
in has become a serious burden to the
public; and that these subjects need
legislation.
OYSTER INTERESTS.
IA. That such legislation as will am
ply secure ana properly protect our
citizens engaged in the oyster and fish
ing industries of this state in all their
just rights ought to be promptly en-
acted.
Smyrna times., 1890-09-17
ASSESSMENT AND COLLECTION LAWS.

8. That the right to vote is inherent
in the people for the enjoyment of pop
ular selfgOvernment, and not a mere
privilege to be withheld from the citi-
zen at the whim of partisan legislatures
under the pretense of fiscal regulation.
We charge that the Democratic party
in Delaware has by the enactment of
the system of assessment and collection
laws of 1873, its oppressive and fraudu-
lent administration of that system and
its defeat of proper measures, designed
and calculated to correct the evils of
that system, passed by a Republican
House of Representatives at the last
session of the Legislature, wrOngfully
disfranchised large masses of our peo-
pie, destroyed uniformity and equality
of taxation, repudiated the most car
dinal principles of popular self govern
ment, brought reproach and disgrace
upon our state, and shown itself to be
an organized conspiracy against rule
by popular majorities.

Republican Platform.

The following is the platform as read
cy Hon. N, B. Smithers, and adopted
by the Convention last week at Dover:
Smyrna times., 1890-09-17
DISTRICT REPRESENTATION.

9. That our state should be divided
into senatorial and representative dis
tricts, and senators and representatives
in the General Assembly should be
elected in such districts respectively
by the people thereof, and that Levy
Court commissioners in each county
should be elected from districts in such
manner as TO insure just minority rep
resentation in the Levy Courts of the
several counties.
LOCAL OPTION AND HIGH LICENSE.
10. That pursuant to the policy of the
Republican party in this state as enun-
ciated in its state platform two years
ago, we favor the adoption and main
tenance of a system Of local option in
our state, and declare that if the ma
Jority of people in any local option dis
trlct shall declare in favor of the sale
OF Intoxicating liquor, such sale shall
be subject to q system of high license.

like to break down fences.

The A. & M. College.

Col. A. Q. Holiday, the accom-
plished president of the Agricultural
and Mechanical college at Raleigh,
was in Winston this week. He had
just returned from Saratoga Springs,
Y. Y, where he had left Rev: Peyton
Hoge, of Wilmington. He says that
although DR.. Hoge is much better, he
is still very sick man.
Concerning the finances of his col
lege, the Colonel spoke hopefully. He
says that the loss of the fertili-
ger tax will not stop the college.
Enough funds are on hand to defrav
expenses for several months, and
there will be So, 700 due from the land
script in January. Just at this juno
ture, the Morrill, Agricultural bill
comes rs II blessing to the college.
This bill has passed both houses OF
Congress, and will become a law with
the Presidents signature. 1t is de-
signed to aid agricultural colleges
all over the land. Every State which
has such a college will receive $10, 900
this year. ST., 900 next year, and so
on until it receives $50, 900 per year.
The money must be fairly proper
ClOneu between Tile llISo anu DiepIho,
and this means that a negro agricul-
tural college will have to be estab-
Iished at some point in North Caro-
lima
The next Legislature will probably
pass q law, similar to the Georgia
law, which will collect a certain
amount on each ton of fertilizer sold
in the State. This law is cOnstltu-
tional and more just to the dealers
than the North Carolina law which
has recently been declared unconsti-
tutional. The funds. which will be
collected under it, together with those
provided by the Morrill, bill, will keep
the Agricultural college going very
nicely.
By the way, it is pity that some
of the bright farmer boys of Forsyth
county do not go to this college. 1t
offers an excellent education at a
very small cost. Our farmers ought
to see that their sons are as we'll ed
ucated as those of the doctor or the
lawyer. That is the way to improve
the condition of the farmer. Edu-
