The internal revenue tax on
matches was in the nature of a
tariff, as the protection system
is one of taxation, favoring mo-
nopoly. With the abolition of
the tax on matches came free
matches, and now they can be
bought for a cent a hundred.
They are a necessity, and every
man in the land has them within
his reach.

Government ownership and OPP
Grafton of the railroads of the
United States would beget the
worst tyrrany and erect the
most grinding despotism that
any people of any portion Of the
world have ever known.
1t would destroy every liberty
and coniine every action of bust
ness. We cannot imagine what
anybody can be thinking about
who proposes that the three
quarter million of railroad EN-
ployees of the United States shall
be turned into military satraps,
to lord it over the people of the
country as if overrun by military
invasion. The proposition is
monstrous. The conditions of
life would be intolerable. The
spectre is a hideous one.
We complain now of the arbi-
trary conduct ofrailroad officials,
and the imperial rule of the rail
road systems. We find it neces-
sary to pass laws restraining
their corporate power, and Gre
ate State and National Commits
stems to regulate their conduct.
Invest them with the absolutism
of military power, and elevate
them above the civil law, indie
pendent of State legislatures and
out of the range of traffic regula-
ton by Congress, and what sort
of pickle would the people of
North Carolina and of the whole
United States be in?
Those who saw anything of
the late war on either side re-
member that the railroads were
subordinate to and virtually in
the hands of the military, and a
passport was necessary for a cit
izen to move about from one
part of the country to the other.
Do we want that state of things
again? We all remember down
here how, as soon as the Federals
took possession, that the rail
roads passed under their control,
and for some months, the army
operated them.
Does any citizen or business
man desire to return to the era
of military railroading?
Not less outrageous is the prop
osition for government control
of the telegraph system. Under
such supervision and control the
people would enjoy no rights or
privileges common to free men.
Through such agencies as the
railroads and telegraph lines, the
general government would be-
come a centralism patterned af-
ter Russian absolutism, a despot-
ism SO grinding as to crush out
the last principle OF liberty, leav-
ing our business, our social af-
fairs and every detail of our lives
the subject of military control
and governmental espionage.

"a Busted Town" Better Than Solvent
One.


The Hopkinsville Kentuckian fires
this at us:
The GAINESVILLE TOBACCO LEAF
CHRONICLE, in its attempts to prove
that busted town is better than a
solvent one, and that million dollar
failures are benefit to city's com
mercial interests, does not always
take the pains to be truthful or fair.
In concluding one of its characters
tic elbows" this week, it remarks
with an apparent purpose TO mislead
that GAINESVILLE IS the only market
that gives Reggie competition
Everybody knows that the Reggie
men have buyers stationed at all i'm
portant markets and that Clarks-
Vile is situated like Hopkinsville
and other markets in this respect. A
market must be in desperate straits
when such methods as this must be
adopted TO booster il up.
This is the kind of wall that comes
from our little Sis across the line, af-
ter the boys over there get tired of
throwing up their hats and rejoic-
ing over the failure Of several
prominent tobacco houses and banks
here during the financial stringency,
that is, ii reports be true. They
were just going to clean up the field
and take it all in, and now they are
fighting to save that grown within
the limits of the town. The LEAF
CHRONICLE stated the truth, and
that is what hurts. Busted or not
busted, GAINESVILLE has eleven strong
warehouses, and there are at least
three of the number that will each
one handle more tobacco this year
than will be sold by all of the houses
in Hopkinsville. You ought to come
over here, neighbor, and learn
something about Clarksville; yes, sir,
our "busied town." as you are
pleased to call it, is better than your
solvent one. Clarksvil.e can turn
loose a million any time without feel
ing it more than a week. The farm
ers understand that when GAINESVILLE
Irops a million on tobacco it all goes
into their pockets, and like sensible
men, they will continue to fish in the
same hole where they catch the sill,
yer perch. HopkinsviIle has no bus
mess to burst on; that is the differ
ence. OF course GAINESVILLE has
Reggie men, and she has got the other
fellows, too, to warm them up, and
that is where the other markets are
lacking.
