THE SUGAR TRUST.

1t is announced that the sugar
trust will close their re1ineries and
throw ten thousand men out of en-
pioyment. The purpose of this de-
cision, it is thought, is to create an
artificial scarcity of sugar and afford
a pretext for advancing the price. 1t
seems that the trust has grown more
arrogant slice the victory achieved
through the Vaccinations of Cor
man, Brice & Co., aided by the Re
publican Senators. five mistake
not, the whole matter will prove a
case of hanging ones self because OF
a superfuity of rope. The trust is
placing itself in position to make
the people more clamorous for the
passage of the free sugar bill by the
next Congress.
The war between the trusts and
the people is on. 1t was inevitable.
1t would come at some period, be-
cause the country could not be re-
stored to prosperity under system
that was constantly enriching the
few at the expense of the many-a
system that was rapidly centralizing
the wealth of the country, making
the rich richer and the poor poorer.
The contest was precipitated, how
ever, by the boldness of the trusts in
the recent tariff discussion. 1t is
well that the issue has been made.
The sooner it is settled the better
Delay would have been hurtful to
the people.
The trusts are the creatures of the
Republican party. They have been
nurtured by that party and have
grown fat and insolent upon the
diet furnished them.
The Democratic party is against
the trusts and with the people in
this fight, upon the result of which
the future prosperity of the country
largely depends.

A GALL TO DUTY.

| If the Democrats expect to win in
this campaign they must awake to
the fact that it will require work to
| do it.
We are not an alarmist, but it is
our purpose to sound a note of warn
| ing with the hope that the Democrats
may be aroused to a sense of the
situation, which is that our victory
| this year must be secured through
active, aggressive work.
The expression, "Victory perched
upon our banner" is very pretty,
but the sentiment may be mislead-
ing. Victory is not in the habit of
flying around listlessly looking for a
banner to perch upon. She usually
comes after strong, determined
efforts and we must in this way WOO
the fair goddess if we are to be able
to say after this important battle is
ended, ''Victory perched upon our
banner"
We want our county candidates
elected. We want our candidates for
the Senate and the House of Repre-
sentatives elected. We want our
candidate for Congress elected. We
want our candidate for Solicitor
elected. We desire this because they
are Democrats. Not ouly this, but
because their election will mean a
better government than the election
of their opponents will give.
The loss of Forsyth may not only
mean the defeat of our splendid
county ticket, but it may also mean
the defeat of our candidates for the
State Senate, for Solicitor and for
Congress.
Are the Democrats of Forsyth will
ing to assume the responsibility for
such a disastrous result? We hope
not. We believe not. But if it is to
be averted they must arouse from
apathy and buckle on the armor for
the contest.
Do not put any confidence in the
apparent division in the ranks of the
enemy. 1t is more than probable
that they will unite and that there
will be but one ticket in opposition
to the Democratic ticket You will
have the same designing enemy as
heretofore to fght-an enemy spurred
on by an anxious hunger for return
to office. They must be kept out and
Democrats must go to work to keep
them out.
The call to duty comes from party,
from country, from home. Demo
Gratis of Forsyth must not prove
recreant in this crisis. Show your
party fealty, your patriotism, your
appreciation of good government, by
standing manfully by the Democratic
nominees and doing everything in
your power to secure their election.

BETHASIA, Oct. 1.-For the last
week Ne have been having fine show
ers The land is we'll situated and
farmers have been busy preparing
their land for wheat and candidates
have sprung up all over the country.
It looks like a spontaneous Outburst
of politicians and it makes one feel a
little uneasy for fear he will run
against one unexpectedly and topple
over him. But it appears like we
will have dry weather now and many
of the candidates that have their
being as an exotic growth will
vanish with the d rot when a
patriotic and Democratic blast is
heard from Jones, Watson, a
Glenn or a Manly.
If Linney should be elected can any
one tell what his politics will be the

conundrum up here.

THE NEW TARIFF.
Some of the Benefits to be Derived
from it's Enactment

From Harpers Weekly.]
In the first place, thelaw has made
certain the replenishment of the
treasury, and removed all risk of a
further increase in the permanent
national debt. Again, it insures the
cheapening, to substantial extent,
of multitude of the necessaries and
comforts of life, reducing the cost of
living for every household, without
weakening the resources of the gov
eminent. Clothing of every descrip
ton, cloths, dress goods, blankets,
and carpets, will be cheaper and
better everywhere for its passage.
Imported food, woods, and lumber,
china and glassware, pocket knives
and table knives, nearly all the COM
pleted goods, the use of which is SO
large part OF civilized life, together
with the materials of which they are
made, share in the large reductions
of duty. These changes alone will
certainly, within few months, make
every mans daily earnings more
valuable to him than now. But
they will do far more than this.
They will do much to revive depressed
industry and to restore general
prosperity. A pretense is made by q.
few manufacturers of anticipated
distress from Introduction of certain
protective duties, but for this we
can find no foundation in the law.
But the brightest feature of this
tariff is found in the fact that it is q
turning point 10 the history of our
economic legislation. It signalizes
the final stage in the most costly
experiment eyer tried by q peaceful
nation. The experiment. has failed.
In the new law the nation has turned
it's face toward Justice, toward
economical truth, toward lasting
prosperity, toward ultimate freedom
Of trade; and the movement hence
forth win b q that direction. /"

PINE HALL, Sept. 29.-The Stokes
county candidates spoke here today.
W. W. King, the Democratic candi-
date for the House, had three men to
fight, but, true to his instinct, he did
his work well. He refuted every
argument put forth by the Reps and
Pops and did them up in good STYLE
The unanimous judgment of the
crowd was that the convention did q
good work in putting Mr.. King on
the ticket. One of Mr.. Kings re-
marks was, turning to the Pop can
didate, You remind me of Peck
erwood, that first pecks on one side

him greatfnjustice with reference to
his former peeches in Winston. He
stated that when he had finished
speaking he would have said every
thing that he had ever said in his
speeches in this city and would leave
it to the audience to render verdict
in his favor. Those who heard all
his speeches say that there is a vast
difference in the tenor of his Saturday
night speech and his two former
speeches; that he was much less
bitter in his last effort. Therefore,
the jury to whom he submitted his
case renders verdict against him.
