The state chronicle., 1892-04-10

on the part of the sturdy
yeomanry of this State for their pro-
lection, to remember that day OF
reckoning will come when their artful
designs can no longer be con.
cealed Does anybody believe there
is farmer in this whole State who
would for moment think of denying
to his fellow-citizen the full and free
enjoyment Of all rights pertaining to
his property? Is it not known that
there is not farmer within the bor-
ders of North Carolina who would fail
to Indignantly repel such an intima-
ton? We have never thought that
the agriculturists Of this State desired
any special legislation, but were only
contending for fair and equitable laws,
applicable alike to the rich and the
poor, and to present them otherwise
will surely entail upon the false lead
ers a searching and merciless nccount-
ing, and this had just as well be under
stood now.
A VOTE FOR REPUBLICAN sUPREM-
ACY.
The Baltimore .Sun of the 9th con-
tains very interesting letter from
Washington on the political situation,
and from it we make the following ex-
tract: "With cotton selling lower than
last year, and the burden of the Nc
Kinley tariff expressing the Southern
planters as they have never been bur-
dened with taxation before since the
war, they are too ready to listen to the
talk of wild theorizers who have de-
vised all sorts of fantastic schemes for
government relief. They lose sight of
the fact that their only hope for relief
is to remain in the Democratic party
and elect Democratic President and
Democratic Congress pledged to the
abolition of the tariff law which lays
its heavy hand upon the products OF
their fields to fill the pockets of the
protective manufacturers. Ifthe third
party did no worse than elect its own
men to Congress it would still be able
to offer no good reasons for Demo
Gratis leaving their old party to swell
its ranks. But the greatest danger
lies in the fact that it may so divide the
Democratic vote as to make it possible
for the Republicans to carry many dis
tricts they could not otherwise control
and they may even, by dividing the
vote for presidential electors, give one
or two Southern States over to the
Republicans in the presidential elec
ton, thus insuring the reelection O
President Harrison. If the people O
the South, by wasting their ballots OF
third party candidates, give the presi
dency and Congress over into tn,
hands of the Republicans, the inevita
ble result will be the passag
OF the force bill and the disap
pearance of all chance for light
ening the burdens of the tariff fo
at least four years more. South
ern members of Congress realize tn
mischief that the third party movemer
S may DO in their section Of the country
: and in the approaching campaign n
e effort will be spared to show to th
planters Of the South that their bu
E dens can only be removed by the Den
0 ocratic party, and that every vote ft
n the third party candidates will be
n vote for Republican supremacy
d national affairs, for the perpetuatio
It of the iniquitous Mckinley tariff la,
for the passage of the force bill wit
all the consequences that it implies, i
Guiding black rule in many of the
i communities.
