us more to haul to and from

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.

Mr.. Harrison has been cred
tied with being a man who
could not be caught by the |
brass band brand Of office
seekers, but his nomination
OF ex-Gov. WCalico Charley")
Foster to be Secretary OF the
Treasury proves that he not
only can be, but that he has
been caught by the brass
brand methods adopted by1
Foster and his friends to OBJ
tain control of the Treasury
department.
Personally there isnothing
decidedly objectionable a.
bout Mr.. Foster except the
abnormally big head which
his private financial success
has given him, and which is
certain to be greatly aug
mented by the new honor he
has just captured. TO be a
self made man is highly cred
table to anyone, but to be
always telling, by your man
ner, as Mr. Foster does, how
proud you are OF theiob, and
how much better you have
done 1t than God Almighty
could have done, is anything
else hut creditable. Political
ly Mr.. Foster is everything
that is Objectionable; he is a
product ofthe eSherman-Hay-
es- Keller school, and | pre-
dict that within year from
this time the Treasury de-
partment will have become
what it was under the Hayes
administration, when John
Sherman, now Senator, was
at it's head-a thoroughly
organized political machine
personally controlled by its
Secretary.
There is no probability
that the policy Of the Treas
t nry department., fit can b'
said to have any policy, vii
be changed under Secretary
Foster. IT will go right OF
in opposition to giving tn
people a sufficient volume o
currency to successfully tran
act theever-growing business
of the country, aud when it

will be a grand change.

THE DEMOCRATIC PROGRAMME.

The democratic party hasa
magnificent career Of power
and usefulness before it if it
will adhere faithfully to the
task it has undertaken and
assume no new burdens until
the work it is now engaged
in shall have been completed.
The fight for tariff reform
has only commenced. The
democratic party has been
modified; it has taken the
field, it has encountered the
enemy and routed it. But it
has not yet dislodged the
enemy; it has'driven the enc
my out OF the House OF Rep
resentatives; it must drive
the enemy out of the Senate
and the Presidency before it
can relieve the country from
burdensome and unjust tax
alton.
The democratic party has
still to restore the House OF
Representatives to it's Con-
stitutional position as a de-
Lucrative body. 1t has still
to defend the rights of the
States against Federal en-
croachment. 1t remains its
arduous duty to protect the
Treasury from the burglari-
Gus schemes of subsidists.
Now to hold the party to-
gether in this great and good
work, and to keep the re-
cruits who are daily swelling
our ranks, we must tolerate
some differences of opinion
on other points. Some of US
want free coinage of silver
} and some do not; some want
civilservice reform and Others
do not; some want Henry
: Georges single tax and
Others do not. While we have
practical bi-nerallism, and
would have efficient public
, servants under a democratic
, administration, and q fairly
: equitable system of taxation
under a reformed tariff, let
! US not quarrel among our
8 selves about the means as to
8 which we are all agreed.
t Let us remember that the
] more planks there are in a
: platform the fewer people
s can stand ON it; the more
: articles there are in a creed
S the fewer people will lsupscride
e to it.
e The republican party rec
d ognizes the fact that it was
IS beaten last fall on the tariff,
% the force bill and House rule
, issues. 1t is making every ef-
- |, fort to change the issues. 1t
,. is trying to substitute the
4 currency for the tariff. On
i, the tariff issue we are certain
1. to keep New York, New Jer-
,. sey and Connecticut and to
- add Massachusetts, and
" Rhode Island and possibly
New Hampshire in the East,
,e and Minnesota and with al
e . most equal certainty we may
~ ~ say Wisconsin and Illinois.
N If we allow the tariff issu,
,r to go to the rear and put tn,

Il
he Raiload commission bill,

Mr.. SPEAKER: | do not de-

stituents | attempt to make
these reE,al ks.,I came here to
represent Watauga county as
best | can. Since | came here
| have ha6 the views OF our
county paper; and a number
of good citizens and alliance
men all advised me to go
against a Commission bill.
We are called upon tonight
to cast our votes. | have not
been lobbying with any rail
road lawyer, | do not know
but few of them; do not know
that they know or care that
there is such a one as | here
or anywhere else. | shall vote
against the bill because |
think it is not the measure
that we people in my part OF
the State need. | will not call
it an iron-clad measure, but ,
in my opinion, there are some
features in it that are lar be-
yond what my people want,
Il measure, when passed, that
will stop the further building
of railroads, therefore it will
be an injury to our part OF
the State to go for anything
that will obstruct the further
building of railroads for at
least two years to come. Ii
seems to me that there arr
some railroads in this State
chat commissioners can not
touch. If that be so, then II
looks like injustice to adopt
Il measure that will make ont
company rich and another
poor, that does not seem tt
meet our platform OF equa
and exact justice to all ant
special privileges to none
My people are willing for th
State to have a railroad com
mission provided we can hav
a conservative one that viii
do exact justice to all. On
that is fare to railroads am
