NO. IS

a Democratic or q Republicans
Congress, the next President
will be either a Democrat or q
Republican.
And the danger is this. The
! ballot is more OF less silent.
There are thousands of people
who, if faced by the danger of
an unstable government. made
up of political hash and all sorts
of isms, will vote for the party
that is most firmly knit together,
that represents the best ability
to handle it's forces, in short,
that represents strength. They
will argue that if party cannot
handle itself, it cannot handle
the government. If the Repub-
lican party strictly eschews
these populistic isms, these dema
gogic and flatulent outgivings Of
politicians of light brains and
loud lungs, and if the Democratic
party swallows them. or toys
with them, then the Republican
party will catch this silent vote
cast by the safety sentiment Of
the country. 1t was the vote
that elected Cleveland In times
of great national emergency the
strong and overwhelming con
servatism of the country will
come up in full force to brush
away any man or party smacking
of instability. For Populism
is, therefore, danger. The par
ty can at least protest, when
Democrats in the Senate make
speeches of the Jarvis kind. =

[ believe it about time that
Goldsboro ought to rouse herself
and build a substantial cotton
mill and thereby keep up with
the procession of her sister cit
les of North Carolina Mr. D.
A. Tomkins, in last weeks issue
of the Munufdcturers' Record,
shows with crystal clearness the
way to utilize the means and re
sources of the community in
building cotton mills on the CO.
operative plan. He shows how
| / 900 shares at 500 per share,
and paying for the shares; by in
stallments of so centsIper week,
would build a handsome cotton
mill. I am sure there would be
no trouble in getting not only
| Il, 900, but 1000 shares in this
city and surrounding country,
provided the right kind of men
took action in the matter.
| 1t don't require any Napoleon
of finance to begin this business:
it only requires a few men of eN-
perience, sound Judgment and
honest-such men as have already
built the cotton mills of Raleigh,
charlotte and a hundred other
towns in the Old North State.
These are the men that are sOlv
ing the emigration problem in 9
practical way and not by vision
ary and fantastic schemes wor-

Goldsboro occupies very fa
vorable position in regard to cot
ton manufacturing. She has al
abundance of the raw materia
at her door and equally abund
ant facilities for the transporta
ton of her output to any part O.
the world. Now is the time tc
take action, when the price o.
machinery is so low a cotto1
mill can be built and equipped
for half the price one could bt
built for three or four years ago
Consequently, such a cotton
mill with modern machiner,
would be able to pay better wa

capital invested and promote tn
general interests of GoldSbor
better than anything else. Thi

The Tariff Bill.
SENATE.

w WASHINGTON, June %. S.-The
pending question when the Sen
ate adjourned yesterday was
section 66 of the Tariff bill, which
requires business corporations
to keep full, regular and accurate
books of accounts which shall
be; at all reasonable times, open
to the inspection of internal rev
enue officers. An amendment
had been offered to it by Mr.. Hill
SO as to make it read: "Reason-
able hours between March 1st
and August 1st in each case, and
Mr.. Chandler moved to add to
Mr.. Hills amendment the words,
"On due order of some Judge of
a United States Court. -
Messrs. Teller, Manderson,
Allison and Hill thought the en-
tire section was Objectionable and
ought to be reformed or with
drawn entirely.
Mr.. Vest, in the hope that his
action might terminate the de-
bate, presented an amendment as
q substitute for the section, pre-
pared by Mr.. George and him
self.
The discussion on the section
and on the amendments was kept
up for another hour; and then, on
motion of Mr. Harris, Mr. Chan
dler's amendment was laid on the

Then the question came on the
amendment offered by Mr.. Vest.

Capital has it's rights. labor has ita rights; the rights of neither are | to be invaded. But have no patience with the agitator or demagogue who stalks through the country shouting Down with capital9' Capital Is as es- | sential for the prosperity. welfare and well-being of the people as Is labor. Without capital there can be no labor, as without labor there can be no capi- tai. Public sentiment must be as just to one as to the other. Capital has no busi- ness to oppress or injure labor, nor has labor any business to injure or destroy capital. Juctice for both and protection for each Is the only safe rule of con duct.
 I think the lesson of the hour Is this: Patriotism must outweigh discontent. When you hear the shout raised Down with capital!" reply to 1t, Down with the demagogue" If you can eradicate the demagogue, the differences between capital and labor will adjust them selves.
 To summarize This Is our country. Our government Is the best, the freest in the world. Under 1t and protected by 1t man enjoys the greatest liberty, the most of comfort and the highest hap piness. License Is not liberty, and law is the only secure foundation for liber- ty. Law must be maintained or freedom will disappear. It Is not only our coun- try, but your country. Defend it in it's diversity as well as In its prosperity. It's establishment and It's defence in the past were the work of the fathers; its preservation and defence in the fu- ture must be the work of yourselves and your children. There Is as much work and as great work and as grand work ahead of us as behind us. Stand by your country, its institutions and it's laws. Make its enemies your footstool.

 SENATOR P1.ATT's SPEECH.
 Following is the address of Senator 0. H. Platt:
 The Fourth of July is an occasion both for rejoicing and for serious thought. While we congratulate our selves on the past. we cannot but in- quire, what of the future? It would be an easy and pleasant task to recount the history of one hundred and eight cen years which have rolled by since our nation was established upon a de- claration of certain principles, which our fathers believed then, and which we believe still, are the basic ideas of all proper governments among men. They have been years of unparalleled growth, development. and prosperity, both national and individual. Indeed, it may all be summed up in word: during these years under this govern ment, civilization has reached its high est point and man his highest happi- ness. ss sfls

caH thought, It IS that the government is best which governs least. I do not
 believe that thought can be overthrown
 by the new sentiment that the
 government Is best which gov erns most. I do not believe that the American people as a whole are in dam ger of adopting the idea that govern ment must legislate for private welfare and private advantage. The strangest thing in the spread of socialism in our country is that, while decrying class legislation, the socialist insists upon legislation which shall provide and care for the minutest concerns of the individual Tn other words, wherever there is individual discontent the so- cialist lays the blame on government, and insists that government should supply a remedy. It's ultimate and log ical conclusion Is that all business and all industry shall be carried on by gov ernment, as if the millennium of ease and happiness were to be thereby in- augurated. It Is a wild theory, utterly at variance with the true idea of gov eminent; passing fancy, I believe, and not serious in It's tendency.
 The government which allows the largest liberty to the individual ;. con- sistent with the happiness of the whole, is the true type of government; and this has been no more aptly ex- pressed than in the epigrammatic sen- tence I have already quoted-aThat government is best which governs least" When the experiment of .estab- fishing a government upon the theory that the state shall own everything, and carry on everything. and that each individual shall own nothing, and shall work for the state and be supported by the states is made, the next step will be despotism and barbarian. ,The so-
