Business engagements VIII Prevent
His Debating With Mr.. Bradfield.

WINSTON, N. c., Aug. %, 1892.
Mr.. Joseph Bradfield, Salem, n. c.:
Dear Sir:-In reply to your chal-
lenge in The SENTINEL l must say
that my business arrangements are
such that it would be impossible for
me to set any time for joint discus
sion. There is nothing that would
please me better if had the time, as
I am opposed to nearly every clause in
the Democratic platform. The coin
age of silver, the repeal of the nation
al bank law and free trade / believe
would mean national bankruptcy and
that in a short time. Feeling and be-
lieying this I would be glad of an oc-
casion to give my reasons and nothing
but pressure of business and the I'M
certainty of my movements, prevents
my accepting your challenge.
Respectfully,
G.. A. REYNOLDS.

slIv.r to Pass the House.

WAsHINGToS, D. c, July 2.-The Stewart
Free Coinage bill reached the House to-day
from the Senate, and if the understanding
which seems to prevail among the leaders of
the House tonight is carried out, there can
be little doubt that the bill will be passed by
the House This understanding is that the
Speaker and the Committee on Rules viii
no longer bring up cloture 10 bar the way Of
the Silver bill, bat will consent to an ar
rangement by which the silver men may
have chance to vote on their pet measure
without resorting to the disiasteful expedient
Of clOthure.
THE RULES TO BE CHANGED.
The arrangement is based on a resolution
introduced in the House to-day by Repre-
sentative Pierce, of Tennessee, which directs
the Committee on Rules, on day in July
which is lefi blank, to report an amendment
changing Rule 2S so that q majority instead
oftwO-thirds of the House may have the
power to suspend the rules for the passage of
bills.
Mr. Pierce's resolution will, it is under
stood, be favOrably reported from the Com
mittee on Rules on Thursday next, and
then viii come the fight on the whole ques-
ton of free coinage.
A SHORT AND SHARP FIGHT
The fight cannot be long, however, as fill
clustering against report from the Rules
Committee is impossible under the present
rules. Only two dilatory motions can be
made
The anti isilver men threaten TO make a
desperate contest, however, but what they
can do to defeat the carrying out of the az
rangements by which it is expected to PASS
the Free Coinage bill is hard to tell. The
Pierce resolution makes no reference to any
specific measure, but simply renders it pos
sible for majority to suspend the rules and
pass any bill.

For over twenty five years they have been
qualifying their free trade declarations with
deceptive trieks and frauds of speech, but
they are done with that now. They have
caught their true voice and talk plainly now
as they did before the war, when one of their
leaders in Congress-Garnet, Of Virginia
announced that Democratic policy aimed at
duties imposed With a singleeye to revenue
alone, and not an iota for protection.
since the days when tariff reform" was
advocated for the express purpose Of cheap
ening labor and reducing wages, the Demo-
erats have made wide divergence, but ii is
now ended in a complete return. They are
tenting on the old grounds of cheap labor.
Once more they even deny the Government
the right or power TO protect labor.
Like the tailors Of Tooley street, who call
ed themselves ''the people" the Southern
Democrats, possessed OF cheap, half slave"
black labor. declare themselves the Ameri-
can people, who are TO be blessed by free
trade, while that protection which sustains
vast Northern and Western industries is al
legged to be for "the benefit of the few"

It means that the American labor unit

1t means that the natural labor level is
that Of the yoteless Southern blacks, and
Congress has no right TO put any labor on q
higher plane than that.
Il means that the Southern Democracy are
determined to exploit labor in the future as
in the past, not only black, but white as
well. They demand the right to exchange
the cotton product Of cheap black labor for
foreign goods and backlOad the proceeds
home under low revenue duties, and hence
to sell at rates Northern white labor cannot
stand.

The Pennsylvania LABOR Trouble


The iron and steel industries of the whole
American nation are practically suspended
to-day. Forty thousand workingmen have
laid down their instruments of toll and the
fires of GO mills have gone out. The
women and children dependent upon this
army Of workigmen SWELL the whole
number to a quarter of a million souls who
have relinquished even the prospects of
gaining the food they viii need for their
bodies tomorrow. And all this is to protect
256 Of their fellow laborers from change in
the method ofconputing their earnings.
No reduction Of wages was even threat
ened with the new scale proposed by the
mill owners. Only the remote possibility
of reduction was conditioned upon the
market for steel billets dropping to S2S
instead Of SIS.
Is there n other government among men
were such sym paihy has created such
perfect bonds of union among the classes
who labor as America, with her freedom
and her institutions protected by republican
OF ofgovernment?
One glance at the awful condition Of
Eaglish labor, at the suffering of the work
ing classes under Russian despOtism, at the
poverty and degradation of Southern
Europe, and then back again 10 the scenes
Of American industry, where labor and
capital meet on equal grounds and with
equal Independence, and the American
workingman can thank God for the Repub'-
lean parry and its principles of protection
for American industries.-Eee York bal

The Ship Was Cut in Twain.

That every soul on board the Nova SEQ
tian ship Fred B. Taylor, from Yarmouth,
n. S. was not killed outright or almost i'm
mediately drowned as result of that ships
collision with the great steel steamship
rave. of the North German Lloyd, on the
22d instant, seems miraculous. The Taylor
at point about go miles east of New York,
was cut squarely in two by the monster steel
steamship, which crashed into her amid
ship, head on, in fog so dense that nobody
on the Trave could see beyond her bows.
In the dense fog Of the early morning,
with heavy sea running, the Trave, going
at full speed, cut her way clear through the
l-starred merchantmsn. The great paSsen-
ger steamer, with hundreds of frightened
persons besides her crew of 80 men on
board, hove to at once and threw oil upon
the waters to prevent the combing of the
latter, which might upset the ships launch
ing boats. Then down from their davils
dropped the well manned small boats and
darted away, lost TO sight in the fog. to
rescue the then unknown merchantman's
crew.
They were gone but short time when
they returned with Captain Hubert and
nineteen Of the crew, including the steward
ess.
Meanwhile great sigh of relief went up
from the hundreds aboard the Traye to learn
atera sounding Of her wells, that the big
ocean liner Eas NOT filIing-had not evan

Mugwumps and Spo!Ismen.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
The nomination Of General Stevenson for
Vice President seems to be satisfactory TO
all those who are expected to vote the De m
ocratic ticket. He is called General in the
North and is known to haye never been in
the army by the Southern wing Of the party.
he has been a Greenbacker and Is associated
with an honest Nancy Democrat But the
chief item in General Stevenson's good luck
is his record in the Office Of First Assistant
Postmaster General IN Ter President Cleve-
land. This record is satisfactory to the
spOils Democrats and the civil service reform
Mugwumps. strange as that may seem.
The spoilsmen in the party point with
pride to Stevenson as the most expert agent
ever placed in charge Of an official guillo-
tine. In their judgment Clarkson was no
comparison TO Stevenson. No man ever
kept guiilO;ine 50 well oiled and 50 sharp
edged as did the Illinois man when he had
charge OF the execution of Republican post
masters. lie did not take hold Of it as Job
to be paid for by the day, to be heightened
out into as many pay days as possible, but
he went into it by the JOB as though be had
taken the contract in a lump and proposed
TO earn his money in the shortest time posi-
bic. As the athletic headsman Of The Cleve-
land administration, General Stevenson
commended himself to the old line Democ-
racy, and especially to Tammany.
But the Mugwumps seem also to be de
lighted with General steyenson's nomlna-
ton. The New York Tines voices this Mug
wump satisfaction as a Democratic step in
the direction of civil service reform. The
Mugwumps do not reach their conclusions
by as direct line Of cause and effect as do
the Democrats, but they make out a very
good case. The TIEles recognizes that Stew
enson's record entities him to the title of
athletic headsman" and the championship
Of the spoilsmen. But as Vice President.
Stevenson would be removed from the posi-
bility Of appointment TO his old position of
First Assistant Postmaster General. The
Mugwumps do not believe that another man
can be found in the Democratic party who
could equal Stevenson, and they therefore
rejoice that as spokesman and headsman
he is to be reduced 10 condition Of per
fectly innOcuous desuetude.
1t is not oflen that man with such re-
markable recommendation 10 one extreme
Of his party can also be entirely satisfactory
10 those who claim to represent the very op-
posite Of bis principles, and we Congratulate
General Stevenson on the happy combina-
ton Of circumstances that makes him an ide.
candidate to both Democrats and Mug
wumps. II is pleasant return TO the old
doctrine OF the fearful example.

The difference.

From the Lancaster Inquirer.
Il is not denied by any person Of fair in
telligence that both Harrison and Cleveland
are strong men, and that in a general way
the support Of each viii be the test of the
strength of the party to which he belongs.
Both have filed the Office to which they
now aspire, and II is fair to say they have
done 50 with credit to themselves and to the
people who placed them in power
And yet the characters Of these men differ
widely. A single point in the history Of
each viii show this very clearly. When the
great rebellion broke out and the life Of the
nation was threatened Mr. Harrison took the
field and bravely riskod his life in defense Of
his country Mr. Cleveland hired a substi-
tute to do his fighting for him.
This simple historical fact is full Of in
struction respecting the character of these
two men, and viii have great influence with
that class Of voters who desire to support the
best man. Mr.. Harrison has given the most
substantial proof that he IS a brave and stur-
dy patriot, willing to sacrifice his own life
ioI Als COUNTY, M Siefelai4u = PossloIg
patriotic, too, but not to the extent Of run-
ming any personal risk. When fighting was
to be done be preferred that Others should
do It; 50 insistent was he on this point that
be was willing to pay them for it in order
to keep himself out Of danger.
There are good many soldiers IN this
country who viii remember this when they
come to vote. There are many soldiers
boys voting now who will also remember il,
and quite a number Of patriotic people who
above all things admire bravery and unself
ish patriotism. All such, when they come
10 think this matter over, viii be likely to
cast their votes for the man who was will
ing to do his own fighting.

CIarkson to help.

He told Mr. Clarkson further, that there
was nothing Of personal disagreement so far

they had for years been, the best of personal
