Gov. Lsughton's veto Of the WATSON
railroad bill. reducing the rates Of GER
tain classes of freight, is based upon
four reasons: lst, Unconstitution-
atty. II favors the producer OF wheat,
fieur. barley and mill siufis. and dis
eliminates against the producer OF
other products. 81, II is in disregard
Of the interstate commerce act, which

against public policy; 1T does not af-
ford the relief the farmer seeks, but is
cleverly designed 10 affect the capital.

assumes.) 4th, II prescribes greater
charge for less than q longer haul.
II fixes no maximum Of charges but
solely a discrimination against other
commodities than -four, pototoes. mill
stuffs. hay, wheat and barley.
The Governor has likewise vetoed II
b. 15G, which requires railroad CON-
panies TO construct and maintain con-
nectiops from one railroad 10 another,
on the ground that IL lacks the ele-
ment of detail which should charac-
terize a measure OF such importance
TO the end that the public may he at
all times accommodated and at the
same time no violence or injustice
done TO their interests"
The act requiring railroads 10 fence
their tracks, likewise receives a stro Ike
from the executive club. He main
tains that section one embraces two
distinctly separate objects, first making
1t duty to fence track and second,
creating n liability for damages result
ing from injury 10 stock. This, he
says, IL in cDntravcntion of Sec. 10
Art. = Of the Constitution, which re-
quires that no ill shall embrace more
than one subject, and that shall be
expressed in its title. This is not the
only objection. The law would en-
tiroly change wellknown principle

proof. and il would apply u different
rule Of law 10 railroad companies than
that winch obtains with citizen or in
dividuals under the law. IL would,
therefore. be special legislation. There
are still further objections noted by
the Governor. One of these is the ex.

A Prediction Verified.

The sudden death of Judge J. G.
Mcclellan, at National City. Cal. on
the 18th inst. affords grounds for faith
in the occult powers claimed by some
persons. which verge on the supcrnat-
ural. II seems that the Judge was
found dead in his chair, and n post
norton examination developed the
fact that he had died from abscess on
the brain. A few months before this
occurrence Mrs. Nichols, a spiritual
medium, held series OF seances in
that city. At one Of these Judge Nc
Collam and vie were present. Mrs.
Nichols among other things. told the
Judge he was subject 10 heart disease.
This he denied. but his wife admitted
that he had fainting spells. Mrs.
Nichols then proceeded 10 give fore
cast OF his future, and told him that
he would be found dead in his Office
inside Of seven months. A note was
made OF this prediction. together with
several others affecting it, by one or two
prominent citizens, with the intention
at some future time Of bringing them
up as an argument against spiritual
ism. never supposing for n moment
that any OF the predictions would be
confirmed. The incident is given for
what il is worth. The circumstances
are strange, to say the least. Judge
Mcclellan was an old friend OF Mr.. L.
7. Young, of this city. who gives the
above facts for publication.

The Tide Lands.

A decision Of the Supreme Court in
the harbor line case rendered last Sat
urday at Tacoma. is of the utmost inn
portance as it probably settles the title
to $5O,OOO,OO0 worth of property. 1t
is the same doctrine that has been an
nounced by the courts of all the tide
water States but two, that the shore
between high and low-water mark is
vested i'm the State. The State can do
what it pleases with it, as any other
landed proprietor, provided that it be
devoted to the purposes Of commerce.
The upland owner has no title to the
shore land, which court of equity will
protect. The State may dispose of
and sell this land to any purchaser,
and convey perfect title to him.
The tide land law recognized the pos
session of squatters on the land below
the hign-water mark, and gave them
the first right to purchase this land
when the harbor line commissioners
establish the lines; but in order tn
have any right they must have had
valuable improvements for trade, com.
merce and business erected and built
upon the land prior to March 20, 1890
The upland owners have the first right
10 buy from the State, under the tide
land law, where there are no such &C.
quircd rights 10y the squatters. The
littoral rights Of upland owners are
confined 10 this first right Of purchase
last mentioned. The iecision also set
ties the title To the shore Of the Sound
and places il where it belongs-in the
State, for whatever disposition the
State has mind to make Of il for the
purposes mentioned.

/, will lie seen from these Nc'"rs
that the railroad companies are not
likely to suffer As long as Gov. Laugh
ton ills the chair oi the executive.
The act declaring it unlawful f"
organic. maintain or employ IN armed
body OF men in the State, Is likewise
sent to the Secretary OF State, without
approval. The Governor reasons that
a. the rights guaranteed by the Federal
Constitution, are re-a tfirmed in the
state Constitution, and these hold
that mo person shall he deprived OF
life, liberty or property, without due
process of law" that no person shall
he disturbed in his private affairs, OF
his home invaded, without authority
of law" that the right Of the indi'
vidual citizen to bear arms in defense
If himself or the State shall not be
impaired, but nothing in this section
shall he construed to as authorizing
individuals or corporations to organize
maintain or employ an armed body O
men," that this bill would deprive the
citizen OF the rights possessed 10y con
stitutional authority. 1t is difficult Il
see lust where the Governors logic ap
plies. IL seems to the casual reader
that the legislative act simply reaf
firms and provides penalties for viola
ton of the principles engrafted into
the fundamental law. The word
"body Of men," which was the lever
age that swayed the execution judg
ment, seem to the nOn-judicial mint
to be susceptible Of different inter
probation. The Governor holds that .
citizen, while possessing the right t.
protect his life or property 10y force o
arms il necessary, under the abov,
guarantee, would have no right t
employ ANYBODY to assist him in 81
doing, under the act in question. |
is safe to say that the legisla
ture had no such intent when i
framed the bill. 1t was simply
measure calculated to suppress tn,
Pinkerton detective system, which ha
been fraught with. evil and needs SOM
legislation for relief.
The Governor likewise disapprove
of Section "a of the revenue law
which provides for tax of four mill
on each ton of coal mined hereafter
Sec. 44, of the same act, provides tina
in valuing coal land for assessment
the estimate shall be placed at al
amount which said land, including tn,
mine, would sell for at fair, volun
tary cash sale. This he claims il
double taxation, which is prohibited
by Sec. y Art. of the Constitution.

the rights Of the poor farmer away
from him instead of giving him more.
Here few men tries to stop the manu-
featuring of whislIey in the county,
which brings an income into the county
of about 50, 600 per month and gives
employment and feeds not less than
500 persons, and puts into circulation
in the county about Sc, 600 per month.
What think your readers of that
Should it be stopped just because a few
men in the county court rule and cry
out Prohibition Let the preachers
preach Christ and Him crucified and
the Word of God, and not for so much
money, and we will have better times
and prohibition enough. Where sin
aboundeth, grace much more doth
abound" Then if it is a sin to make
and sell whiskey, CASTOR surely has
lot of grace, too. If it is wrong to
make and sell whiskey, why Just put
it out Of the whole country and not
from one county to another, or from
one State, either; for tell me what
good is it in dry towns or Prohibition
States, they have their whiskey just
the same at a much higher price
than where it is allowed to be made
and sold. But the Alliance legislature,
SO-calIed would not have been doing
right if it did not pass laws to benefit
all industries outside the poor, down
trodden farmers. Take his few rights
away from him, ch! We sent an ALI
anceman to the legislature TegardIess
of party) in 1890, who beat a Prohibi-
ZIONIST about 600 votes in the county.
But verify l say unto you, hold up
your hands and see who old CASTOR
sends in '92, whether he be an Alliance,
Prohibition, Prohibition, Demo
crat or Republican man. We don't
expect to be fooled any more if posi-
bic. An Allianceman by principle.

The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1891-03-24

place, while it is scarce in another
with which the farmer has constant
commercial intercourse, is absurd.
Plenty of money makes high prices.
Scarcity of money makes low prices.
If we have plenty in North Carolina
with high prices, and scarcity i'll New
York with low prices, will not every
body buy in New York and sell in
North Carolina until the natural equil-
lbrium is established? The same rule
holds good with respect to different
civilized nations. So if the bonds were
sold in Europe it would have the same
effect. The money that came to North
Carolina from Europe would flow back
to all the countries with which she
trades, directly or indirectly until the
equality of values was restored. 1t
would not permanently increase prices
or make money more abundant in the
least
Col. Burgwyn cites as an example
| Of the good effects of such a law, an
instance from colonial times. But the
case to which he alludes is not at all
analogous to his plan. The bonds or
notes issued were made legal tender in
payment Of all debts, and by so much
increased the circulation But if the
schemes were identical, it would be no
| proof that it would be equally bene-
ticial at this time. A rule Of 1853 years
ago could not apply to this age of steam
and electricity. The time when a ma
ton or community could isolate itself,
and pursue its own peculiar policy
without regard to others, is past.
| Whatever effects one civilized country,
especially in financial matters, effects
all more or less. You cannot correct
the evils Of an insufficient volume of
currency by temporarily diverting it
from one community to another.
| Under our government, it is impossible
for one State, by this means or any
other, to regulate the circulation, or
supply the people with money. This
is pro-eminently a function of the ma
tiOnal government; and if cOnstitll-
tional method of issuing money by the
State, or State institutions, could be
devised, it would be suppressed by
taxation or otherwise, as were State
banks.
Col. BurSwyn's project would simply
make the State surety for the people,
and enable them to more easily borrow
money, and if [ have any conception
of the present state Of affairs, it is not
ability to bOrrOC that is wanted, but
ability to PAY. Borrowing in the face
of a contracting currency, has brought
about the present condition; and if it
is continued means ruin. For the
State to encourage it seems criminal.
may have taken a wrong view OF
this subject; if so, would like to be
set right. I Isuppose, as it is about the
close of the session, that the legislature
will not pass any such law; but the
discussion of it can do no harm.
