stopped. Each householder will
save $25 per year on his store &C
count. Prosperity will return.
THE INCOME TAX.
During the wal the Republi-
can party put tax on whiskey,
on tobacco, and on incomes.
They had kept the tax on wills
key and on tobacco, but they
took it off the incomes Of the
rich. The Democratic party has
put that income tax back upon
the surplus wealth of the pluto
Gratis of the country. Every
man who has an income exceed
ing 1000 per year must now
pay a tax to the United States
government of two per cent. on
the excess. This tax will raise
from the shoulders of the poor,
the honest, the patriotic people,
$50, 900, 900 per year, and put it
upon the surplus wealth of Wall
street.
THE SUGAR TAX.
Some populistic friend would
ask him: Senator, amt you
ashamed that you put a duty of
20 per cent. on sugar" No. The
Republicans had made sugar
free, but they paid the sugar
manufacturer and refiner two
cents bounty on each pound of
sugar. Millions of dollars were
thus taken from the treasury of
the United States and put
the pockets of these manu-
facturers. The tax now on
sugar goes into the United
States treasury; the bounty went
into the pockets of the sugar
trust.
He would say something else
t the Democratic party had done.
The Democratic party. had re-
, duced the expenses of this gov
eminent. Economy is the greas-
est virtue in government. Dur
ing the first year Of Cleveland's
term the Democratic party had
saved $58, 800. 600. Republicans
claimed that this reduction was
accomplished by cutting off pen
, sions. He would say that no
! just pension had been stopped.
This saving was made notwith-
standing the Democrats had
: passed a river and harbor bill
q carrying $12, 600, 600, while the
Republicans had passed no river
and harbor bill during its last
, year in power. This shows q
saving by the Democratic party
n il its first year of about S41, 900,
! 900.
S THE TWO PARTIES CONTRASTED.
The Democratic party was MOI
I perfect, nothing earthly is, and
it might be accused of many
S things, but it had ever been true
d to the South-true to all the PEG
a pie. 1t had stood Loyalty by the
It interests of the seventy millions
0 of free men who populate this
Republic. The Democratic
u party is not a sectional party
q How was it with the Republican
party? For 25 years not a Law
was passed by the Republican
party for the good of the South
He was a Southern man and
North C~arolinian, and he coult
not endorse this long night o
oppression to his section. Whel

~ A RETROSPECT.
lid Mr. Bancroft, said Senat'
in Ransom, has said lin his histol
5y. that North Carolinians loved Ii
tic erty more than any people
Ia earth. Would North Carolina,
rid now turn their backs upon t
ill party that had given them n
ten only liberty, but every blessil
les that made.life dear to her1, 7OO,O
he people? Look back 20 years a
hat see what North Carolina was U
the der Republican rule. Our pub
