WHY'S AND WHEREFORES
New York World ]

Every Democrat in the country
should do his utmost to elect Grover
Cleveland this year because
The election of Cleveland means
the restoration of Democratic princi-
pies in national affairs, not for a term
but permanently.
Because the election Of Cleveland
will put an end to Billion-Dollarism
Because his election will bury the
Force bill idea with no hope or chance
of a resurrection.
Because his election will be the first
step towards the brerking down OF that
kind of tariff taxation which aims to
enrich the few at the expense OF the
many.
Because it will put final end to
the policy of Capitalization in which
the republics greatest danger lies.
Because it will free the country from
the scandal of Raum, Elkins, Woods,
Wanamaker and the rest Of the per-
sonal shams that have blotted its fair
name.
Because it will restore the Demo
cratic idea of government by tine peo-
pie instead of government by ia
vored class for gain.
Every independent should do all he
can for the election of Grover Cleve-
land, because his election will go
further than anything else could to
restore that purity and honesty of gov
ernment which independents seek.
Every workingman should do all he
can for the election Of Mr.. Cleveland

TWO IMPORTANT STEP
TAKEN.
STEPS
North CarOlina's Tobacco Exhibit at
ChicagO--Seeking to Have our
State Receive the Credit it is
Entitled to.

One of the most important things
discussed was North Cardinals to-
bacco exhibit at Chicago. 1t was de-
Clded that the State would make a
tobacco exhibit and we doubt not but
that it will be a credit to our State
and our one great staple. Mr. Bruner,
one of the Commissioners of the
Fair from North Carolina,
fully explained in what shape the ex-
hlblt must be made-the amount of
space we could have and the probable
cost. To aid in this work the Associ-
alton advised that appointments be
made from each Board of Trade in
the State to assist in collecting and
forwarding material for exhibition. If
North Carolina does herself and her
tobacco credit at Chicago-and she
will-then this can be placed to the
credit Of the State Association. The
matter was first discussed in the meet
ing last year, and the appointment Of
Mr.. ]. S. Carr secured to look after
the tobacco display.
Another great work of the 1892
meeting was the adoption of the me-
mortal paper to the tobacco trades of
the world, calling attention to the
fact that North Carolina should have
recognition for her tobacco. Copies
of this memorial will be mailed direct
to every Tobacco Board of Trade in
foreign countries, to all leaf brokers
and manufacturers in England and
Scotland and will be printed in all
the tobacco papers of the world. This
is a long step forward and it was car
ried through the convention with great
enthusiasm. 1t is getting at tine root
Of this evil at one stroke. In addition
to the above publicity which will be
given it, all of our exporters will be
supplied with copies of the memorial
who will enclose them in their letters
o their foreign customers.
The action taken in regard to a trip
to Chicago next year in body was a
happy afterthought and will do much
to further interest in the Association.
1t is the aim of the Association to go
20 the great fair in special train of
Pullman cars which will be appropri-
ately decorated. 1t is estimated that
not less than 500 tobacco men will go
on this trip filling a train Of from IL
to IS Pullmans. If North Carolina
carries out this idea her tobacco men
will deserve and win recognition for
their enterDrise.

better the condition of those who earn

Compensation.

1t is an undeniable fact that the one
great, overwhelming objection to the
single tax is that it would destroy ex-
isting land values. All other objections
are as nothing compared to this, and it
must be met in a way satisfactory to
practical men. While to the far-think-
ing single taxer, who sees ample
compensation in an improved condition
of society. the objection has no weight,
to the ordinary thinker it may serve to
completely bar all further examination
OF the subject. Hence argument on
this point may be of great use. Stated
in the briefest way, this fundamental
objection to the single tax-the one
whereon will be fought the great and
final battle for equal human rights-is
this: st will destroy existing values :"
Here, in five words, we have the gauge
of battle-the most portentous that the
world has ever known.
1t may be a point gained to know
that this objection, as to the destruc-
ton of existing values, applies with
equal force to al inventions, all social
progress, all discovery of new methods.
Our opponents must concede two i'm
portant facts-first, that social progress
involves the continual destruction OF
existing values; and second, that society
has no thought of compensation for
such destruction of values
Thus, new steam engine may drive
all existing engines into thescrap heap;
the inventor of the wire nail machine
destroyed vast sums that were invested
in machinery for making cut nails;
while new processes for making steel
are driving the iron industry into ruin.
But society is without mercy, and
knows no thought of compensation.
1t must be clear to all that here is a
great law, fixed fact, in view of which
it is just as Illogical to condemn the
single tax because it would destroy ex-
isting land values, as to condemn rail-
roads because they destroyed the value
| of stage routes.-A. C. Sekell
