PRESIDENTS MESSAGE,

|
lished last week. 1t IS long ana
prosy. TO those who had hoped thaI
the President would take Il strong |
stand against the evil and dangerous
tendencies Of legislation III the past,
the Message will be great dlsap-
pointment. He does not recommend
any measure of financial relief, but
saws that it will be necessary to wait
while till confidence is restored
to know what to do. If the SICK can
get well without physician then no
physician is needed.
That part of the Message referring
to the tariff is "a still greater dlsap-
pointment. He endorses the Wilson
high protective tariff bill as his KIND
of tariff reform. The President also
saws, 81 am satisfied that the reduced
tariff duties provided for III the pro-
posed legislation, added to existing
internal revenue taxation, Will IN the
near future, although perhaps not
imn ediateIy, produce sufficient reye-
nue. to meet the needs of the govern
ment." If the revenues are not now
sufficient to pay the ordinary eX-
penses of the government one might
naturally inquire, why reduce them
at all until such time as they are III
excess of actual needs ? The people
remember that the Democratic poll
ticians have always claimed that they
could raise more revenue by reducing
the tariff so it would not be prOhIb
itory. Ii the revenues are lesSened
by the Wilson bill then it must be
prohibitory also.
He says nothing about the
repeal of the ten per cent. tax
on state bank issue. We are sur
prised at this, for we understood that
the bankers want the tax repealed.
He opposes an income tax on indi-
yidual incomes, but favor5 make
shift measure.
He uses some more ''gIitter-
ing generallties" about civil SER
vice reform. But he goes out Of
his way to insult congress. He says
"the law embodying this reform
found its way to our statute book
more from fear Of the popular senti-
mont existing in its favor than for
any love of the reform itself on the
part of legislators" The question
might be asked, When did it become
any part of the Presidential function
or even permissible for the executive
to crltlclse, asperse, or condemn the
motives of those past or present con-
stituting a coordinate branch of the
government ? But a congress that
servilly bows its neck to the dicta,
tons of an aUtOcrat can not expect
that autocrat much less the country
to have much respect for it. He asks
congress to give HIM power to ISSUE
more bonds.
He says there must be economy il
the running of the government and
then suggests that congress com
mence by stopping the sending out
of seed to the farmers. Verify the
farmer is not in it, but that little
which he hath shall be taken from
him.
He is in favor of restoring tn,
monarchy of Hawaii.
The Message is not only a disap
pointmeut to every honest Demo
crat, but it viii make the heart O
every patriot sad.

TAXATION AND RAILROAD COMMISSION

TAXATION AND RAILROAD COMMISSION
The Raleigh correspondent of the
Charlotte Observer says:
1.-The railroad commission has done
a great work fOl the State, as will be
seen by one little statement. The
valuation of railroad property in the
State now only lacks few thousand
dollars of being double the amount
in $780,
The State would be in much better
condition if it could be blessed with
several more Legislatures like the
one Of 1891, but may the Lord deliv-
err the people OF any more like the
Legislature of 1898.

campaign fund and who, to save
himself and the President from be-

A JEFFERSONIAN DEMOCRAT

Mr.. G. NJ. Bobbitt, of Pamlico
county, writes us enclosing $l.75 for
THE CAUCASIAN and The National
Waterman for one year. Closing his
letter he says:
of the Democratic platform as
laid down at Chicago had been inter
preted before the election as t has
been since by the PresideI and the
majority of congress, ! never should
have voted for Cleveland"
We are getting letters of this kind
nearly every day, and it shows con-
clusively that large number (if not
a majority of men who voted the
Democratic ticket last fall did So
(not because they are opposed to the
demands of the Alliance and the
principles of reform) but because
they believed that the Democratic
party would give the people these re-
forms if it got in power. 1t also
shows further that they are not the
partisan tools of any party, but have
the manhood and courage to vote for
their interest when they see clearly
which way it lies. We expect to see
more than fifty thousand such men
wash Their hands of the Democratic
party before the next election, and
vote with their neighbors and friends
for the common interest of human.

Senator George, chairman of the
committee appointed by congress to
investigate and report on the dealing
in cotton futures, says that they will
be able to make some remarkable
Developments. He says that -, 000,-
900 bales of cotton were dealt in
New York and 10000, 900 in New Or
leans last year while only 1850 900
bales were made and actually sold.
Congress will try to investigate the
effect of this gambling on the price
of cotton.
