WILCOX AND BLACKBURN.
They Make the Regulation High Pro-
lection Speeches.

DR.. J. o. Wilcox, Republican candi-
date for Congress in the Eighth dis
trict, and Spencer Blackburn, Harri-
son elector-at-large, made speeches at
the court house Friday night. Both
gentlemen acquitted themselves well
as orators, and created IA good deal of
enthusiasm among their followers.
DR.. Wilcox confined his remarks al
most exclusively to the tariff issue
and dealt out the staple protectionist
| fallacies. In order to prove that the
tariff is not a tax he argued that a
merchant in New York, who bought
wheat at Il dollar a buShel from an
American farmer would give only the
same price for the wheat of Canadi-
an farmer and will sell both the
! American and Canadian wheat to his
customers at the same price. Hence,
he inferred that the Canadian farmer
paid the tax, and not the American
consumer.
Undoubtedly, everybody knows that
such would be the case with all farm
products and other Surplus products,
whose price is fixed in London. These
cannot be protected. Nobody ever
dreamed of farmers getting protec-
tion. 1t is only the manufacturers
who can be protected, by the exclu-
ketS, and on every protected article
the consumer alone pays the tax. DR..
Wilcox knows this, and he falSiffeS
when he denies it.
Again he contended that the tariff
had caused all reductions of prices in
manufactured goods-that the reduc-
tion in the price of steel rails, for in
stance, from S107 to $50 a ton was due
to protection in this country. The
fact is that it was due to the prog
ress of skill and invention in steel
making, and has been as great in
England and other countries as it has
here. BeSSemer and not Mckinley,
made it possible. 1t is inventive
genius, and not legislation, which in
creaSes the productive capacity of Ia
Dor, and it is increased prOduction-a
larger source of supply-which redu,
ces prices. BY reason of increased
production the price of silver has
fallen from S1.31 an ounce to S31 cents
since 1873. Therefore, if protection
decreases prices, all we have to do in
order to make silver as cheap as iron
is to put tariff tax of one or two
hundred per cent on that article. But
the Doctor didn't contend that the
price of silver had been reduced by
the tariff.
Mr.. Blackburn's speech was nothing
but an appeal to the negroes. He told
an anecdote, however, about a young
man who killed himself in his efforts
to reduce his rent, which aptly illus
trated the position of his party in re-
spect to its price-reducing theory as
expounded by DR.. Wilcox. When the
Mckinley bill was passed his party
had 176 members of the House OF
Representatives, while the Democrats
had only Isl. The next election gave
the Democrats 14S majority. All this
came about as the result of reducing
prices by means of the Mckinley bill.
1t was clear case of suicide by ''re-
ducing prices"
During his speech Wilcox said he
thanked God that there were very few
Republicans in the Third party.
Blackburn spoke in favor of the Re
publican Force bill; in fact he endors-
ed if, in toto

A MINISTER KILLED
The Sad and Tragic Death of Rey. j,
T. Croker.

Rev. J. T. Croker, minister of the
NJ. e. church South, was killed on a
private railroad crossing near James
town Monday morning by the south
bound vestibuled train.
He had just hitched up and was
starting for Greensboro. The cross
ing is not more than 200 or $50 yards
from the house, and is approached by
a road running along by the side of
the railroad, being down hill, with
fence on one side and deep cut on
the other. The only egress is across
the track; there is not sufficient room
to turn around or drive to one side.
Mr.. Croker of course did not hear the
cars approaching until after he had
, come out by the side of the track.
when his horse became frightened and
ran away, crossing the track just as
the train reached there. The pilot of
the engine hit the buggy squarely in
the middle and threw Mr.. Croker up
on the engine together with the frag-
ments of the buggy, and carried his
body nearly half a mile before the
train could be brought to stop, it
being down grade for several miles
near the scene.
His remains were carried to the
residence of Dan. Moore at James
town. 1t was found that his left arm
and left leg were broken, his chest
crushed and brain fractured. Death
must have been instantaneous. The
horse was not hurt.
Mr.. Croker had charge of the cir
cult comprising jamestown, Friend
ship and Muir's Chapel. He was a
native of Randolph county, and lived
for many years in Asheboro where he
practiced law, which he abandoned
for the ministry, where he was doing
good service. He leaves a wife and
several children.

MAILING A CAMPAIGN LIE.
II is Hon. ]. C. Buxton Who Has the
Hammer, Ergo
THERE'S DEMOLITION TN TEE BLOW.

Mr.. Buxton Talks Anglo-Saxon and
Calls a LEA Lie-He Also Tells
Why the Lie was Told-It Shows
that Republicans are Compelled
to Resort to Extreme Measures.
To the Editor of The Sentinel.]
A friend has sent to me from Phil
adelphia copy of the Press, Repub-
lican newspapers which contains a
special dispatch from Washington
of date September Goth, which says
81. G. Buxton, a Democrat, and for
years resident of North Carolina,
said today here that the outlook for
Cleveland in North Carolina is dark
He will lose the State. The Third
party is playing havoc there and the
Republicans will win. They will get
five out of nine Congressman"
This is lie out of the whole cloth
and is but one of the methods adopted
by Republican emissaries who have
been making trips to Washington and
New York for the purpose of getting
Doodle, and trying to persuade the
Republican national convention to
grant them money with which to fill
their own pockets under the pretense
Of spending it for campaign purpose.
So far as heard from up to this time
they have not been able to induce the
committee to let them have any mon
ey and they imagine that by sending
such lying kilograms as this that they
will finally get themselves some de-
gree of credibility.
/ have not been in Washington for
three months. / have used no such
expression, and as I now see the mat
ter, we will carry North Carolina for
the entire Democratic,ticket, national
as well as State, by twenty thousand
majority, and I expect to see a solid
Democratic delegation returned to the
next Congress.
l have telegraphed denial of this
lie to the Philadelphia Times.
Respectfully,

Those who came on to Winston were
Isaac D. Sheek, Floyd Sheek, J. w.

their father. The entire party went
over to Davie county last night.
From conversation with Mr.. Isaac
Sheek, a SENTINEL reporter learned
that he left Davie county soil in JAN
uary after the late war. He has been
back several times, however, to visit
relatives and friends.
Mr.. Sheek said that the members of
his party were all Democrats and
would return home in time to cast
their votes for Grover Cleveland, Adj
lai E. Stevenson and the remainder of
the ticket.
In speaking of the political situa-
tion Mr. Sheek added that the Demo
Gratis were very hopeful of carrying
the HOosier State this year for both
the National and State tickets. Their
candidate for Governor this year is an
Allianceman. He ran two years ago
for Treasurer and was elected by
twenty thousand majority.

HARRINGTON, n. c., Oct. 4.-The
Third party convention for Davie.
county met in the court house in
Mocksville last Saturday. Rev. w.
r. Ketchie was elected chairman and
M. G. Ijames, secretary. Enough Re
publicans and Democrats Joined
them to fill the building comfortably.
They adopted novel method of bal
loting. No nominations were made
in the usual way. but as Mr.. Blaine
would say, they first cast an anchor
to windward to feel of the crowd, as
it were, by allowing every T. p. man
present to vote for whom he pleased.
Then the two receiving the highest
number of votes were put in nominal
ton. Before the final ballot was Ia
ken, however, they were called upon
to state whether they stood upon the
L. p. platform. Some were asked to
take a back seat because the railroads
and telegraphs were too big to swal-
low Eighty was the highest number
of votes cast.
AS we predicted, Henry Hobson was
nominated for sheriff. He received
II votes; scattering. The balance of
the ticket is as follows: For the
House, Rev. w. r. Ketchie, ex-Demo-
GRAFT; Register, j. L. McClamrock, ex-
Republican; Treasurer, L. A. Furch-
es, ex-Democrat; Surveyor, M. c.
LANES, ex-Democrat; Coroner, Ira T.
Hauser.
All were present and accepted ex-
cept Hobson. He has the matter un-
der advisement and will announce his
conclusion this week. We predict
that he will declare himself an indie
pendent candidate, be endorsed by the
Democratic convention Saturday,
and walk off with the saddle bags
when the ideas of November roll
around.
