DIR. BATTLES ORATTON
Short Speeches By Gorea7aor Hoz
Kope Elias Esq.,, and Others.
Special to State CHRos,o1G.
GREENSBORO, n. c., July 4
The intense heat and clouds Of dust
did not prevent the vast crowd from
attending the exercises to-day on
the old Guilford battle ground.
Excursions came from Raleigh,
Mt. Airy, Walnut Cove, Martin
vile, Va, and trains ran from
Greensboro to the battle grounds
every half hour. The scene of
that famous battle has been made
attractive by the indefati gable
labors Of Judge Schenck and to his
energy and influence is due one of
the most praiseworthy undertakings
of our State and the just apprecia-
ton Of the services of our ancestors
in winning battle that proved of
vital consequence to the cause OF
the colonies.
The exercises opened with a
grand procession to the erand-stand
after the band had rendered "My
Country, 'Tis Of Thee" Judge
Schenck arose amid storms Of ap-
plause ard introduced Hon. Kemp
2. Battle, the orator OF the day.
DIR. Battles address was sketch
, OF the "Life and Services of Gen
Jethro Sumner" He spoke Of ti1e
: manners of the time and place

colonies from the disasters brough

General ButIeron Protected Bunf, &.

General Butleron Protected Bus3t lszfs
To those familiar with tho et
that General Butler was The Efst
person to make bunting ia tilis
country it will be interesting 80
learn what that gentleman has to aay
about his connection with that eslS
terprise, and what the result AslA
been. In speech in Boste6 \
short time since, he said
"All through the war Of The fes
bellion no bunting was made ii Is
country. 1t could not Be md.
it was not mg7s. We depens
upon Great Britain. There wa q
tariff on bunting except the oisIi-
nary tariff on that class Of good III
another purpose, and we were
ing from $25 to $3s for sisS w. 3ss
grades of bunting ; and no Soldier
or sailor fought in the great war
under yard Of American bunting.
"Well at the request of the Sec
retary of the Navy, | undertook,
with some Of my young friends up
in Lowell, to see if bunting could be
made here. We found out how to
make it sent man over to Eng
land to learn and we started it
with II looms, and there was a 40
per cent tariff put on the bunting.
"What was the effect of that -
| would not, if | could have had my
own way, had more than 10 per
cent. put on it. Everybody said,
"Oh General Butler, put great
deal of tariff on the bunting" |
knew too much for that.
"What was the effect of that !?
The tariff was so high that within
twelve years there were $1,000
looms weaving bunting in the I'm
tied States, and the bunting now
has come down so that the very
best that can be made on earth may
be got for SIS a piece instead of
$50 and $35. And so it is with
every article.
Il hear some people say, why
the tariff is always an addition on
the price The last | knew about
cotton cloth (for | am not cotton
cloth weaver, and somebody will
correct me if | am wrong) the tariff
was five cents yard on calico cot
tons. print cloths, as they are called;
and | can buy all the print cloths
in this country for three and three
quarter cents, as you all know
A voice-"Three cents, three
cents, General.
