TARIFF.

There is no doubt that tariff re-
duction would bring some relief to
our people. During the campaign
the tariff was abused as the worst
inl1uity ever put upon q contiding
people. Is it not strange that the
present administration does not take
immediate steps to remove this evil :
If it is bringing the people to ruin
as fast as the campaign speakers said
it Is why does not Mr.. Cleveland call
an extra session of congress and have
it reduced to revenue basis" what
ever that is? Is it possible that this
abominable tariff only robs the farm
er during the campaign? They told
you that this infamous tariff cost
you over billion dollars per year.
Does this Democratic administration
intend to sit idly down and wait un-
til a convenient" time when they
could 60 to work and save each per-
son, according to their own estimates,
about twelve dollars apiece each
year? A good many of the voters
who voted for Mr.. Cleveland need
this twelve dollars per year. 1t be-
longs to them morally and they were
assured that Democratic success
would save it to them. Why is not
an extra session called to repeal this
''tariff of denominations % Demo-
cratic voter, sit down and think.
Last fall when tariff" was mention
ed you almost had fits. If you had
known that you would have to en-
dure four years more of high tariff
you would have felt like committing
suicide to escape such an enormous
swindle. Taxed shoes, taxed hats,
taxed shirts, taxed everything and
you groaning under debt. Dear vo-
ter are these taxes any easier to pay
under Mr.. Cleveland than under Mr..
Harrison When you have to pay
out about one-fourth Of your "hon-
est dollar III tariff taxes on what
you buy is it any comfort to you to
know that you pay it under a Demo-
cratic administration Is it sweeter
to be robbed by friend than an en-
envy? If the Democratic party is
the ''people's party as your papers
and speakers SAID it was, why does
it not look after the peoples inter-
est

This bonnet is made on q frame
which is bent up front and back and
is covered with black net, folded in
the centre. Over this are put
fiounces of black Chantilly lace
about six inches WIDE. A piece of
lace about two yards long is joined
together, and gathered to the frame,
forming a box pleat back land front,
above the point. 1t is edged at the
top with jet passementerie, wax beads
and spangles about an inch in width.
The front is trimmed with q butter
fly bow made of wired lace and edged
with the pasementerie. The bow is
made of four parts; two must be
about five and a half inches long
and two inches wide and one end
and half and inch at the other. The
other two are of equal width
and are four inches long. From
this bow rises an aigrette pink feath-

The distinguishing point of large
hats is the low crown, while there are
scarcely two with brlms of the same
identical character, the fancy of the
milliner lending the capriciousness
that the block may have failed to
incorporate in the shape. AS a rule
the brim is narrow at the back. wild
enlng out and flaring at the front;
but there are models with the brim
medium wide, cleft and turned up
the back; and the plain flaring brim
is varied by voluted brims, brims
eurlsd up at the sides and at the
front, or otherwise departing from
severe or simple lines. Many plateau
hats are seen and they may be re-
garded as distinctively of the cur
rent millinery. They are shaped to
the will of the milliner, and, when
fashioned to order to suit the feat

Mourning wear is hardly compati-
BILE with the present pronounced eff
fects of cut and fit. Yet those who
wish to protect themselves for at
least little time from the world by
a garb of black which shall set the
seal of sorrow upon them for even
the careless to see have no wish to
make themselves conspicuous by ig-
noring popular taste. For such a
a very simple and unaffected mourn
ing costume may be made according
to the taste of to-day much modi-
fed, and yet not, therefore, strange
looking. Consider the example pic

IGNORANTLY READ.

We have received many letters
from our subscribers saying that
when they would mention the fact
that the congressman voted them
selves 800. extra month for clerk
hire to partisan Democrat that he
would at once vehemently deny that
it was SO, and say that he had seen
nothing about it in the papers. The
trouble with such Democrats is that
they do not read the right papers
to be informed. They read those
that deliberately try to suppress
every fact that they think might
injure the "dear party" Many a
fact would be smothered and never
get TO the people were it not for what
Lady Mackbeth Caldwell calls the
'srefawm press" Many honest DEM
ocrats are finding this out and are
subscribing for The CAUCASIAN.

PUBLIC MONOPOIlES.

Pro. Ely of the Michigan Univer-
slty, has made very careful study
OF corporations and their develop
ments into monopolies and combines.
He has given special attention to
the railroad question. He has trav.
eled in every European country
where the Government owns and con-
trolls the railroads. Besides he is
recognized as one of the soundest
thinkers in America. Read the fol-
lowing, which we clip from a
recent article from his pen:
Private monopoly is odious. Pub
lie monopoly is blessing and the
test of experience proves it. Again
and again it has been tried with fear
and trembling, but the results have
in the long run been gratifying.
Public ownership and management
Of railways have in Germany succeed
ed In many respects even better than
their advocates anticipated, and the
opinion of experts in Germany fa-
vors them almost, if not quit, unani-
mously. The writer happens to
know of no exception.
The right of purchase of natural
monopoly without paying anything
tor the franchise itself, but only for
value of capital actually invested
and for its value in its condition at
that time of purchase, ought always
to be reserved. Local natural monop-
olies ought to pass into the hands of
local authorities as soon as possible,
and no charter ought hereafter to be
granted for private gas, water or
electric lighting works.
The income from them may be
diffused in two ways. First, charges
may be placed SO low that the price
will simply cover the cost, as is done
IN IN our postoffice and by the English
Telegraph company. Second, a
profit may be derived from these
pursuits, and this used to lower taxes,
or to do things of benefit to the peo-
pie as whole, as to improve our
roads and streets and parks, and all
our schools, to encourage art, itera-
ture, and the like.

DEMOCRATS FOR SPOILS.

We clip the following from the
Charlotte Observer which shows what
men who banker for the flesh pots,
think of their Postmaster General {:
claw Partner Bigsell on Saturday
last went a step beyond any previous
ruling when he gave out that no
presidential postmaster would be re-
moved before the expiration of his
term, except for cause, and no fourth
class postmaster (these having no
term) would be removed in the ab-
sence of charges. And then the
block head added insult to injury by
saying that this policy would be best
for doubtful States like Virginia
and North Carolina" How dld this
pot-bellied provincial from Buffalo
acquire the experience in politics or
the knowledge of the situation in
these two doubtful States which
justifes him in making oracular de-
liverances about what is the chest
policy for them? We have resisted
the conclusion as long as possible ::
Bissell is what the Chicago Herald
says Ward McAllister is-just an or
binary, everyday, mouse-coIored ass. :"
Such ringsters vote the Democratic
ticket for pay, for the spoils they can
get out of it. They whoop up the
people to vote the ticket so they can
get the offices and pocket the peoples
taxes in the shape of salaries while
the people get poorer. This same
paper said few days ago that Baldy
Williams was better Democrat than
it thought he was. The reason for
this opinion was that Williams was
trying to get party heeler appoint
ed to office. AS another proof of the
Observers idea of Democracy read
the following:
"Secretary Carlisle is one member
Of the administration who seems to
have an intelligent conception of
what the people meant when they
went to the polls last November. He
is bouncing the Republicans and
Mugwumps in the Treasury Depart
ment right along.''
You see the party was not elected
to give the people relief at all. Those
who have an 'intelligent conception
of the victory know that it was sim
ply to give office to the hungry po-
litlcians.

EDITOR CAUCASIAN, Goldsboro, \
G., DEAR SIR--At a call meeting O,
Caharrus county Alliance, held nj
the court house, Concord May I3,
1898, the following preamble aud
resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, The Hon. Marion
Butler, our worthy State President
was with US, at our request, at our
regular county meeting at Mt. Gil
cad April goth and publicly ad-
dressed an audience of three or four
hundred people, in q conservative
and patriotic manner upon the pria-
ciples of the Alliance, and
WHEREAS, The Concord Times
speaks of his ntteranees on that oc-
casion as "a two hours harangue of
rotten politics" and charges him
with having resolutions passed with
reference to the action of the last
Legislature as regards the Alliance
charter, and also with soliciting
funds to defray the expenses of the
trial of S. Otho Wilson, and
WHEREAS, There is not a syllable
of truth in any of these statements.
Therefore be it
RESOLVED, By Cabarrus county
Alliance, that we pronounce these
statements as unquali6edly false, and
call upon the editor either to retract
them or produce his evidence.
2nd, That we regret the unfair
ness of the spirit of the '"Times" to-
wards the Farmers Alliance.

ished the editor of the Times, UAU-

ARE YOU 4 DEMOCRAT?

If so do not cures the Sherman law
as an unmixed evil just because Cleve-
land and your platform does. Let
us see the facts. The 100000 in
silver certificates issued every month
in exchange for silver bullion sup
plies to a limited extent the necessary
circulating medium for transacting
trade and business among the peo-
pie. Stop that safety valve without
opening a substitute and the country
would see the greatest commercial
and financial explosion Of the age.
Then demand of your party that it
give us-free coinage Of silver and an
increase of legal tender Treasury
notes, before the Sherman law is re-
pealed. A half loaf is not as good
as a whole loaf, but in the name of
common sense and the interests of
thousands who are toiling to make
something to sell to get money to pay
their debts and buy what they need,
let us not throw away the half loaf
for nothing IN its stead. If you are
a true Democrat and know what is
right and what you want, you will
stand here, even though Cleveland
and your party leaves you. If they
60 off to worship the golden calf will
you follow monkey like, Or will you
stand for your own interests and that
your neighbors and your section?

WHAT THE SOUTH MOST NEEDS.

The Southern governors have is
sued an address inviting immigration

his recent vigorous efforts to sup
