Sta TIE F1RH,S.

The State farms on the Roanoke riv-
er are attracting much attention all
tlemen from different parts of the State
visited them recently and have ex-
pressed themselves as well pleased.
There is one thing that we think the
State owes to the convicts who are put
there to cultivate the crops, and that is
to make the very strongest efforts pos
sible to get pure water. 1t is admitted
everywhere that pure drinking water is
necessary to good health in every eli
mate or region Of country And espe-
cially is pure drinking water necessary
in district where malaria is more or
less prevalent.
The cOnyicts are brought from all
parts of the State to these farms and
they are therefore unaccustOmed to both
the air and the water on the lOwlands
OF the river. There is no power in the
State to change the air: but the best
possible effort can be made to give
them pure water.
Now, THE DEMOCRAT believes, as it
has all the while, that it will be a good
investment for the State to put down
Artesian wells from which drinking
water may be had for the convicts, the
guards and others who are compelled
to remain there all the time 4 few
hundred dollars would make the ex-
pertinent, and there is chance for
great good to the State III it. Wherev-
er Artesian wells have been successful
y sunk and an overflow obtained the
health of the community has greatly
neen improved. Let the State try it.

EXPENSES REDUCED.

Mr. Woodland showed also how the
pledge for a more economical admins
tratiOn of the government has been
kept. A little army of useless gov
eminent employees has been dismissed
thereby making a great saving in pub
lie expenditures millions of dollars
have been saved to the government by
reducing the pension roll and all this
has been done with q depleted treasury
in the place of full treasury when Nh
Cleveland's first term expired
Mr.. Woodland said that while the
Democratic House did strive to get SUI
gar on the free list, the Senate threw
obstacles in the way of that legislation
but the small tariff on sugar now goes
to help detray the expenses of the gov
eminent instead of into the pockets Of
the manufacturer as did the money
that was raised through the bounty on
sugar under the former tariff law.

pecially gratifying to him to begin the

|
THE DEMOCRATIC RECORD.
| Mr.. Woodland said that the question
has been asked, What has Congress
done? In answer to this question, he
gave a brief review of the work of the
last session of Congress, showing that
the pledges made to the people have
been kept and well filled with the con-
sideration that there has been only one
year Of Democratic administration in
which to set right so many wrongs per-
petrated by Republican rule. The only
pledge which has not been kept was in
the matter of financial legislation and
the mistake that was made in that,
said the speaker, was the failure to pass
better law after the repeal Of the
Sherman act.
The burden of the pledges of the
Democratic party to the people was In
tariff reform, and the Congress has
kept that pledge. The Wilson bill,
framed in and ably fought through the
lower house, was the end OF the pledge
which was made to the people but
when 1t went to the Senate it was
greatly modified. Everybody is famll-
lar with the long and tedious conference
between the committees from the
| House and Senate, and when finally
the House was forced to accept the bill
as it became a law it was because the
Senate, under the rule Of Republicans,
Jew Democrats and the Populists
could not be prevailed upon to accept
the bill as passed by the House, and it
was choice between the law as it Is
and no tariff legislation at all.
! BEATS MCKINLEYIsM.
Mr.. Woodland then proceeded to show
tariff law and the law as 1t is now in
operation. Millions of dollars will now
be saved in the purchase of articles that
have either been put on the free list or
whose tariff has been reduced. In the
purchase of farming implements and
| bagglng and ties, the last two having
been put on the free list there is now
DER the present tariff law as enacted by
the session of Congress ,lst closed.
The speaker gave a calculation on
the sale of 100 bags Of cotton in Liv-
erpool, which would bring SD SEQ, and
showed that if that amount of money
had heen invested over there IN things
which the farmer needs on his farm
and in his household, the tariff uutv on
these articles at the port of Whining
| ton, under the Mckinley law, would be
81 500 and under the present law would
| be only 5000, a saving of 81 200 to the
| farmer in the purchase of $500 worth
of goods.
| EXPENSES REDUCED.
Mr. Woodland showed also how the
