North Carolina reafifrm the principles OF
the democratic party, both state and ma

Kinley tariff bill as unjust to the con-
sumers of the country, and leading to the
formation of trusts, combines and mo.
nopo:ies wh;c% have oppressed -e peo-
pie; and especially do we denOunce the
unnecessary and burdsnsome increase in
the tax on cotton ties and on tin, so
largely used by the poorer portion of the
people. We likewise denOunce the ini-
| quitous force bill, which is not yet aban-
doned by the republican party, but is be-
! ing urged as a measure to be adopted as
soon as they again control of the house
of representatives, the purpose and effect
| Of which measure will be to establish a
second period of reconstruction in the

tagonism and sectional animosities.
