A Large Capture.

About the largest capture made by the
revenue officers in long time was made
here by Deputy Collector Shelburu
Wednesday night.
The officers got wind that a quantity
OF blockade whiskey was coming to town
, that night and were on the lookout for
It About O'Clock dray belonging
to W. R. Herndon was captured ON
Main street, and the driver, Charley
Bray, and George Durham, who had
charge of the whiskey, were also taken
in. The officers knew that there was
more whiskey in the lot and forced the
man to tell its hiding place.
He told them that they would find a
wagon containing the other lot of whis.
key in the yard of A. A. Andrews, ON
Milton avenue.
The officers went as directed and
found the wagon and the whiskey.
There was three so gallon barrels and
one 10 gallon keg in the lot filed with
corn whiskey. The whiskey and the
horses and wagon was seized. The
whiskey and team is supposed to be the
property Of Dan Andrews, who runs a
government still near Roxboro.
Thursday morning Shelburn also
seized two more barrels Of whiskey, enc
the property of Robert C chisenhaiI, and
the other belonging to NJ. C. Herndon.
The entire lot seized includes 40 gal.
Ions Of whiskey, three horses, and two
wagons. Unless the owners come up
and claim their property, which Is hard
ly probable, the entire outfit will be
sold by Collector Thomas.
Two OF the horses captured are tine
animals and are we'll worth $500.

Under n consistent system of pro-
lection the revenue was sufficient for
public needs, our workshops were
thronged with well paid wage enrners,
and In our foreign dealings we sold
more goods than we bought. Under
the present anti-protective law, gem
eral business and industrial prostra-
ton has prevailed, the revenue has
fallen far below necessary expendi-
lures, and the governments income
climbs up toward its outgo only as a
result Of larger imports, smaller ex-
ports and turning of the trade bal
ance against us.
This means depression in our manu-
featuring enterprises and discomfort
for worlxingmen who have been thrown
out of employment or had their wages
cut down. IL means that under the
new tariff we have not only failed to
capture the markets of the world, !"
but have actually suffered losses in
that direction, as well as surrendered
parts of our great home market. Such
is democratic tariff reform up TO date.

Looking backward TO the first eight

pairing our imports then with those

During the years is9o-1s9 the Ameri-
can output of pig iron averaged s,90o,-
600 tons year. During 1893 and 1894
IL averaged only 6,s5o,oo tons year.
The output OF the English iron mines,
which had reached s,822,00 tons In
1859, averaged only 1880, 900 tons dur
ing the following three years, 1s9o-1s9s,
when our output was the largest under
protection. Again in 1898 and 1894
their output increased just as ours
gradually decreased when the threat
of free pig iron nearly ruined our In

are not honest enough to make this ex-
hibit in connection with their claims
for free pig iron.
