It has come to pass that Repub-

where the wOrkingman has learned
that tariffs depress wages, and
where the manufacturer has found

Democracy Pays tribute to the Hero
Of New Orleans.

" NVW VbhVoD9s
The Busin ess Mems Democratic
Association of New York cele-
brated jackson Day on Saturday
night the 7th, by a banquet at
Delmonico's.
President j. Edward Simmons
occupied the seat of honor at the
center of the guests table. On
his right sat Congressman William
G. r. Breckenridge, of Kentucky,
and ON his left, William F. Harrity,
chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee. Ex-Governor
Campbell, Of Ohio, was also among
the guests.
The president at 9 o'clock in
trodnced Congressman w. G. T.
Breckenridge announcing the toast,
'sThe day we celebrate" Mr.. Brock
inridge said:
1t is not the day we celebrate,
but the man who made the day
immortal. The battle of the 9Th
Of January may we'll be considered
one Of the most remarkable ach-
ievements of military skill in the
history of our people. But still it
is the man we hold in esteem for
his triumphs in other fields.
Soldier as he was in numerous
wars, and always successful, he is
dear to us for what he was as citi-
zen and leader in the peaceful con-
tests through which he passed,
rather than the military achieve
ments which rendered him dis
tinguished.
From Jefferson to Jackson our
Presidents were men of the high
est character, but none touched
the popular heart; none could in
any sense of the word be called q
popular leader. From jackson to
Lincoln there was a succession of
able and respectable persons, and
from Lincoln to Cleveland no pop
ular leader may be said to have
appeared.
/ submit that the quality in JEFF
ferson and in Jackson reappeared
in Abraham Lincoln, and which is
possessed by Grover Cleveland,
which was the cause Of the popu.
lar confidence, which was their
confidence in the ultimate integri-
ty, good sense, and courage of the
people. TWAS not the opinions
held, rot in the acts done, not in
the utterances made for no four
men were less alike in all of these
but it was in the profound be-
lief of their fellOw-citizens that
those opinions and acts and utter
arces sprang from a sincere love
OF the common good, pure desire
to serve the country, and without
a trace of personal self-seeking.
Speaking of the coming Demo-
cratic administration, Mr.. Breck.
inridge said:
The great business problems
which this Democratic party has
staked itself to solve is the read
justment of the tariff, the estab-
lishment of a sound currency on a
stable basis. and the revision of
the enormous pension rolls.
You have the right to require of
every public officer that in his
place he shall unite with the Presi-
dent in doing whatever is neces-
sary to make these changes with
as little delay and little compulsion
and with as loyal intelligence rs
Is possible.

We are sorry to see Mr.. Carlisle's
statement that silver is being pur-
chased by the government, un-
der the law, with gold, for the state
ment we think is misleading. Per-
sons desiring to export gold have
used the notes issued in the pur-
chase of silver to draw gold from
the treasury for export. In the alb
sence of these notes, the same per-
sons would have used greenbacks.
Now, that exchange has fallen, it is
said that gold can be imported at a
profit; and if the fall should con-
tinue but little further, doubtless
gold will be imported. In that event
the Secretary of the Treasury would
be quite as much justified in i'm
putting the importation of gold to
our purchasing silver, as he is in the
declaration attributed to him. There
is no immediate connection in either
case

abroad to their credit as an example
for other peace officers to follow,

PLANTATION NOTES.
Lower Cape Fear.

About a quarter of mile distant,
towards the south, and yet within
the limits of Orton, lie the ruins of
the town of Brunswick, once the
chief seaport, and seat of govern
ment of the province of North Car
lima LIS public buildings and SUBJ
stantial houses have long since
crumbled to their foundations,
which still remain.
'It was at Brunswick" (says Col.
Waddell in "a Colonial Officer and
his Times') 'that George III. was
proclaimed King in the presence of
the Governor (Dobbs), the members
of the Council, and a number of the
principal inhabitants and planters.
An account of the ceremony was
given by Gov. Dobbs in q letter to
the Secretary of the Board of Trade,
under date of February 9th, 1761,
as follows:
"I sent for such of the council as
were in this neighborhood, and next
day, Friday, had his Majesty pro.
claimed here by all the gentlemen
near this place, the militia drawn
out and a triple discharge from
Fort Johnston of twenty-one guns,
and from all the ships in the river;
and at the same time sent out an
express for the other councillors in
this neighborhood to meet ns at
Wilmington next day, Saturday the
7th, where his Majesty was again
proclaimed by the corporation and
gentlemen of the neighborhood,
under triple salute of twenty-one
guns, where we had an entertain
ment prepared; the militia were
drawn out, and the evening con-
cluded by bonfres, illuminations,
and a ball and supper with all una
nimity and demonstrations of Joy"
The daily hum of traffic was
stopped hundred years ago, and
the busy feet that trcd its now silent
streets have long since mouldered
into dust.

The members of the executive
committee of the National League
of Republican Clubs report that the
Populists campaign of last year has
done much to break the solid South,
and that Republican success in
many Southern States is possible.
That is the end for which the leaders
of the Peoples party have worked.
Mr.. Marion Butler denied with en-
phasis that he received pay from
Republicans for his campaign last
year. That may be. But all the
same he worked in the interest of
the Republicans and has made Re-
publican success possible. The peo-
pie of Moth Carolina who have
heretofore co-operated with the
Democratic party should take this
matter to heart. Are they willing
to be used as cat's-psws to pull Rad.
ical chestnuts out of the fire? W.
hope not.

The Conservatives Hold Their Own.
By Gable.
BERLIN, June, 16.-The election
returns from the agricultural dis
tricts and small towns come in
slowly. In most of these constitu-
encies, however, few seats are likely
to change parties. At noon the
Government candidates had appar-
emily lost sli lightly in constituencies
which chose deputies by yesterdays
ballot. Or the other hand on Sec
ond ballots, which now seem inevi-
table in some 100, or 125 districts,
the Government has exceptional op-
portunities to win many seats.
This especially is applicable to seats
contested by radical Unionists, who
in the last Reichstag voted against
the army bill, but have supported
it on the stump, and if reelected,
will vote for it in a somewhat mod
fled form. This morning the NS-
tional Liberals, who were expected
to return to Parliament with dele
cation reduced from 40 to alb out
80, it is contended would have al
fewest 38 members after the second
ballots. The Reichtor radicals will
have hardly more. So far thei,
failure to draw opposition votes
has been the most surprising feat
ure of the election. Social Demo
Gratis boast they will have si1t,
seats after the reballots. This il

Some time ago we took occasion
to mention the superior con-
dition Of the South to the
West, financially, and that our
banks were in excellent condi.
ton. We are gratifed that our
statement Of the fact is sustained
by good authority in New York.
We clip the following from the New
York Post.
"Speaking of the monetary strin-
gency, and the shipment of large
amounts of currency, particularly to
the West and Northwest, the Presi-
dent Of one Of the larger ma.
tional banks said to a re-
porter for the Evening Post
this morning that the demand
from country banks for re-discounts
was larger at the present than any
time in his long experience, and
particularly from banks in the
West and Northwest. The demand
was general, however, and ex-
tended from the Pacific to the At
lantic. It set in, he said, nearly
three months ago, and had gradu.
ally increased until it had assumed
its present large proportions. AS
however, the banks which were ask.
ing for rediscounts this week were
sending in their shortest time pa
per, paper maturing in month OF
six weeks, that was regarded as al
indication that the country bankers
did not expect the demand to las
much longer, and it was therefore
hoped that it had reached it,
height. The demands from tn,
South, it was said, were only sucl
as were expected at this time of tn,
year and were not unusually large
There had been fewer failures i,
the South, it was said, than an,
other part Of the country, and som
OF the large Southern cities wer
not asking accommodation. Th
South, said the bank president, wa
believed to be in pretty good cor
dition."
Thus it will be seen that even
New York our superior situatio
is recognized, which. is a practic,
and just tribute to the excellenc
of our banking institutions and
the character and fidelity and bus
ness capacity of our people gene
ally, and of the officers of our banl
in particular.
