simply TO enablt the people of the United
States to pay the high wages evcrywhe'c c
prevailing in this country."-RoSwell &.
llorr, in New York Tribune.
mo one ever claimed that protective
tariffs were intended to increase wages.
Hon. William Mckinley, Providence,
1892.
la Mr.. Frick's testimony before the
house committee lie gave direct evidence
that the tariff had nothing to DO with
the wages he was paying. He said:
ave made the scale to suit the trade
and mechanical conditions. and gave no
thought to the political cause or effect
nor the tariff itself.
That is to say, Mr.. Frick cut the wages
of some of his men down, not because
the tariff had been lowered OH the Iro'
duct he was producing, but because he
thought the state Of the labor market
would justify him i'll SO doing.
There is no doubt of the "abSolutc IN
sincerity" of the republican party on thc
issue Of protection.

How the Force Bill Might In
crease Taxes.

From the Raleigh Chronicle
Exulting over the passage Of the force
bill, by the republican house of represen-
tatives under the leadership OF Speaker
Reed, the National Republican, then pub
lished at the federal capital, and the Or
gan of the republican party, explains as
follows how it was intended to confis-
cate the property of the white people in
the south. 1t said:
when through the operation of the
Lodge national election law, six or seven
southern states shall discard democratic
rule, we shall look confidently to see
some measures of justice done the blacks,
who have so long been deirauded of their
rights. Heavy taxes should be laid upon
the property of the whites to develop
and extebd the public school system in
those states"
And the third party organs and leaders
tell the people there is no danger in a
force bill Has not Harrison and his
party declared in favor of the bill

BACIxFORENEOS'r.

The most astonishing news Ill LIE
CITIZENS report of the last meeting of
the advisors and aldermen was this;
"The board urged upon the board of
aldermen the importance of procuring Il
right OF way for the city pipe line from
the pumping station to the standpipc.
The mayor informed the joint board
that !. G. Mcrrimon, csQ City Attorney
Cobb's partner, and Alderman Waddrll
were going over the route Monday to
try to effect suitable arrangements with
the property owners along the line"
In other words. the board seems to
hayc made every arrangement for i'll
creasins the water supply except the one
that should have been made first. No
man with any Sound IDEAS of business
CONDUCTS his own affairs in such back
torcrve- way without having to suffer
for it nine times out of ten. We hope the
owners of tue right of way will take no
advantage of the situation, but it they
do not it will be piece OF good luck,
not the result of good management.
SOMETHING TO WORK FOR.
There is now being discussed a project
to which every North Carolinlan of in
tlucncc should lend all the power Of his
voice and pen to bring to consuma-
ton. This project is Il national park to
be provided for somewhere III he Smoky
mountains OF North Carolina and Ten
nesscc. The idea was first brought out
in Garden and Farm i'll the shape of an
article urging the government to pur-
chase sufficient land in the Appalachian
chain for a national forest pleasure
ground, selecting land forming some of
the grandest of natures scenes i'll all
their primcval attractivcncsS. Ihccspec-
ial recommendation OF this part Of the
country for national park, outside of
its natural beauty, is its accessibility to
all the eastern and northern states. The
Richmond Dispatch SAYS;
"ln this locality there is Il greater va
ricty of giant trees than is to be met
with anywhere else in the whole eastern
division of the country; tor here the prln-
cipc trees of the forest of the north, the
south. and the middle states reach their
grandest development, in respect both OF
height and of trunk measurement, and
here foliage and ctlloresccncc attain Il
marvellous degree of luXurianCe. The
riches to select from i'll establishing a
park, but from what can be learned from
those who are thorougly familiar with
the entire section it would appear that
the region of The head waters Of the Nan
tahala river in Western North Carolina
most fully meets all the conditions de-
mandcd. For many miles the Nantahala
threads its way through a yeritable can
yon. The forest with its mammoth
growth of ages has deticd the ravages of
the axeman for the reason that there is
no way of getting out the timber, and
the scenery retains all OF its primcval
ruggedness and imposing grandeur"
1t is believed that if the matter were
taken hold of in the proper spirit
the park might be realized at the next
session of congress. Certainly, if man
aged properly the national government
might get, at comparatively small cost,
one of the grandest parks on he face OF
the globe. Its ncarness to the thlckly
settled states would guarantee it three
visitors where the Yosemite has one.

one or two ladies have again been swindled

known scotsman and florist, offered ~

florist was very anxious to have lntro-

called "damontis" and had large double
flowers superior to the rose, and from Two
to FIVE hundred on vine, and would bloom
continuously for Ave months in the year.
