With all there is at stake there must
he in the treatment of this article some
ground upon which we are all willing
to stand where Cancellation may be al
lowed to solve the problem, without de-
handing the entire surrender OF fixed
and conscientious convictions.
ought not to prolong this letter,
IT what | have written is unwelcome, i
beg YOU to believe in my good lnten-
tons. In the conclusions OF the CON
ference touching the numerous Items
which will be considered, the people
are not afraid that their interests VIII
be neglected. They know that the gen.
eral results as far as these are concern
ed will be to place home necessarles
and comforts easier within their reach
and to insure better and surer compen-
sation to those who toll. We all know
that a tariff covering all the varied in
terests and conditions OF a country as
vast as ours must of necessity be
largely the result of an honorable com
promise, | expect very few OF us can
say when our measure Is perfected that
all its features are entirely as we would
prefer. You know how much deprecat-
ed the incorporation into the proposed
bill of the income tax feature. In mat
ters OF this kind, however, which do
not violate fixed and reorganlzed
Democratic doctrine, we are willing to
defer to the judgment of a majority OF
our Democratic brethren. think
there is a general agreement that this
is party duty. This is more ralpably
| apparent when we realize that the bus
mess Of our country timidly stands and
watches for the result Of our efforts tc
perfect tariff legislation, that quick
and certain return Of prosperity waits
upon wise adjustment and that con
fiding people still trust IN our hands
their prosperity and well-being. The
Democracy Of the land pleads mos
earnestly for the speedy completion O
the tariff legislation which their repre-
sentatiyes have undertaken but the.
demand not less earnestly that 10 stTes
of necessity shall tempt those they
trust to the abandonment OF Democrat
ic principles.

POLITICAL STR1 us.
Com n.unicOted.

I
hear little politics occasionally,
and find that the backwoods farmer is
as conversant with the financial situa-
ton as John Sherman who is said to
have studied finance for a long time
and from a business standpoint. Some
get their cue from the Progressive
Farmer and cry out for $50 per capita,
as if it were 500 per capita it would
help fellow who had nothing to get it
with
One thing we can all do-all can
select clean, honest men to represent lis
and relegatc to the rear blatent dema-
gogues, whose eyes are on office and
ONLY care for the ''dear people" about
election time and whose demagogical
appeals for office make patriot tired
Let the old time plan, which now
seems to have relapsed into ''innOcuOus
desuetude" of letting the office seek
the man, and letting the Office seeking
demagogue severely alone, be who they
NAV and all will be we'll and the glo-
rious principles Of Jeffersonian democ-
racy will redeem us from the thralldom
of political poltroons and tricksters.
If we follow dishonest, rascally political
leaders need we wonder why times are
so hard?
The man who don't do right, polite
ally, as we'll as in other ways for fear il
will hurt his influence is not worth the
skin he is wrapped upin. Don't think
of somebody else but consider yourself
An honest effort peats dishonest success:
two to the game.

II the Third party people all through
the State will adopt and publish such
resolutions as we're adopted by the
Edgecome county Third party conven-
ton. they will show up badly before IN

We cannot see how any man with prop

iargon Of meaningless sentences as res
ol1tions to represent their principles.
Take them as an exponent OF prlncl-
piles or as a sample of wit, they are not
creditable to any party that would as
pire to control the affairs OF such a gov
eminent as ours.
We print them, not for their literary
merit in any sense Of the word, neither
for the principles they enunciate, Tor
they enunciate none whatever, but to
let that part of the world with which
this paper comes in contact. see how

SES1 TORS TO BE ELECTED
BY THE PEOPLE.


TO The DEMOCRAT,
WASHINGTON, D. G., July %, u
Since the beginning Of time great +
men have upon monentous occasions
resorted to extraordinary methods OF +
focusing public attention upon certain |
things. One OF those occasions was
when President Cleyeland's letter TO
Chairman Wilson, pointing out the
BETRAYAL of the democratic party by
certain Of the Senate amendments and
urging him and his colleagues on the
mart of the House TO stand by the House
bill. which Is strictly in accordance
with the principles protested by long
line of democratic national platforms
There are democrats who regret that
the necessity arose for writing and for
making public such letter, but 1t Is
not difficult for even the most lndlffer-
ent observer to see that the rank and
file of the democratic party is BEHIND
President Cleveland and the House,
and consequently opposed to the hand
full of democratic Senators who forced
the acceptance OF ,mdemocratic amend
ments upon their colleagues.
AS matters now stand, 1t Is IN the
power of that handful OF democratic
Senators to prevent any tariff legislation
and leave the obnoxious Mckinley law
on the statute books, and some OF them
have gone so far as to publicly an
no,nce that they would vote against
any report made from the conference
that changed the Senate amendments
but the hope still remains that they
will after careful thought discover thai

Before any one talks of State or Fed
eral ownership Of the railways let him
get railroad manual and see what it
means. 1t would take nearly one-half
the assessed wealth of Pennsylvania to
buy its railroads, and in some States
the assessed value of the taxed property
is not one-half that of the railways AS
an illustration, take Wyoming. The
assessed value of the taxed property in
1890 was $3l 100000 the true valuation
of all property, taxed and untaxed, the
amount for which anything within the
State boundaries, including the land
(but excluding the railroads) could be
sold for was $46,OOO,OOO. The invest
ments IN railways in the State was
SIG, 596 ,354, and the amount actually
put into road and equipment was
SOL ,245,147. How can Wyoming buy
her railways?

T. E. ". IN n. Y. World.
The total capital supposed to be IN
vested in railroads is one-sixth the
total wealth of the United States,
$50, 553 1924, 1859, equal to the total value
of the farms in 1880, which supported
one-halt the population, and to nearly
one-half the assessed valuation of the
taxed property In the United States.
But not One-ffth of this can be honest
investment, for it represents an average
of $3.50, coo per mile for every little single
track siding in the United States. The
S,OOl miles of New York are credited
with 1884 637.11 invested Pennsyl-
