Raleigh. N. c., January u.-(Special)-
The opening gun in this years campaign
was fired by Marion Butler, chairman of
the peoples party executive committee for
North Carolina. 1t is an address to the
voters of the state which declares that
nnety-nine hundredths of the voterS are
dissatisfied with the present conditions and
that the causes are bad laws which were
passed at the last Legislature; that a large
majority of the voters favored CHANGING the
laws, but wasted their strength by division.

that they deceived $4,000 reformers who
voted with them. He asserts that the SUI

tirely free and honest election and urges
a rally to the peoples party organization
in each county in thirty days and in each

Direct Effect of the Tariff.

OMAHA (Neb.), Aug. 30.-The beet
sugar industry of Nebraska, in which
several million dollars have been in
vested and numerous big factories
built, is threatened with eXtermina-
ton by the new tariff law. This is
the declaration of James Hamilton,
Secretary of the Oxnard Company,
returned from New York today.
He takes gloomy outlook for the
beet sugar industry, and. believes that
unless the policy of the Government
is very materially changed, the Ne
braska factories will be compelled to
go out of existence in another year.
"Under the new tariff bill, passed at
the dictation of the sugar trust" said
Mr.. Hamilton, "we are practically
ruined in Nebraska. We started out
five years ago with the intention of
building ten sugar factories in Ne
braska and California. We have
built three, and instead of build
ing more may be compelled to aban-
don those in operation at Chino,
Grand Island and Norfolk.
"Under the operation OF the Nc
Kinley tariff law our factories were
slowly but surely gaining the conf
dence of the farmers of Nebraska.
We were paying 50 per ton for beets,
and at this figure the farmers We're
raising beets at a liberal profit. They
were beginning to become enthasias-
tic over beet culture.
GAS a proof of this assertion i have
only to cite the fact that the first year
we commenced operations at Norfolk
the farmers raised but 300 acres of
beets. Last year they raised 900
acres, while this year they have 1900
acres and we were compelled to close
our contract books last April because
more beets were likely to be raised
than we could well take care of.
"Under the new tariff bill we cam
not pay more than 81 per ton for beets
| delivered at the factory. We make
contracts during the months of Octo-
Der and November. We shall send
out circular letter making a frank
statement of our situation and ask the
beet-raisers to sustain just one-half
| of that loss. In other words, in order
to run the factory on the new basis
we shall have to purchase beets at 81
per ton. We are willing, however,
| to divide the loss.
| Nebraska is just beginning to real.
| iZe the Importance of the sugar indus
try in this State. The people around
] Norfolk already realize it. Last year
we paid out $1,000 for wages in our fac.
tory during the seventy days we were
| operating. We paid out S126,000 fol
| beetS to the farmers. If we can induce
the farmers to raise the beets in sufh.
cient quantities at $4 per ton to rur
| our factories we shall continue in bus.
iness until the Republican party re-
| turns to power. If we cannot we
shall quit entirely at the close of the
run in the fall of 1885,"

Negro Emigration.

| BIRnIINGHAM (Ala.), Aug. 30.--A
well-defined plan has been set on foot
to send thousands of Southern negroes
to Africa. The International Migra-
tion Society of this city, which was
incorporated last February for this
purpose, has closed a contract in Phil
adelphia, through its president, j. r.
Mullen, for transportation of 5000 ne
groes to Liberia prior to November
1st, and many more later. The first
cargo will he taken OH at different
Southern ports by which will
leave Philadelphia about September
18th and touch as far south as New
Orleans.
\ The emigration managers say that
the ruler of Liberia has promised
7 each family twenty acres and imple-
ments to till the land to encourage
emigration TO that country. Thous-
ands of negroes have joined the emil
grafton society, which i conducted on
the cooperative plan, ticket to
Africa being given each member when
$40 has been paid in. The negroes
are enthused over the scheme, and
fully 10000 expect TO 90 to Africa by
January.

Boston, Aug. 30.-Fanueil Hall,
the historic "Cradle of Liberty" was
the scene OF an ssemblage of colored
people last night, who, by resolutions
and speeches, uttered their indignant
protest against the lynching of coiored
people in the South. The meeting
was a notable one for its enthusiasm,
and particularly was this the case
when William Lloyd Garrison and
DR.. Miner were introduced. Resolu-
tions were adopted asking Congress to
have appointed a commission to in
vestigate the lynchings within the
past ten years.
