HON. F. 4. W0ODARD
ADDRESSES THE DEMO
CRATIC CLUB AT THE
OPERA HOUSE.
The Tariff. Income Tax and the FL
nanciaI Questions Are His Sub :
jec+s for Discussion.
Daily Argus last Saturday.

The Goidsboro DemocratieCam-
paignClub held Il called meeting in
the Messenger Opera House last
night, a great many members
were present, beside a number OF
visitors. After the secretaries
had recorded several n W names
that were handed in, Mir. Fl. 3.
Parker, Jr,, president Of the
club, appeared on the stage and in
Il few we'll chosen words eloquently
introduced Hon. F. A Woodard,
the Democratic nominee for Con-
gress from this district, as the
speaker Of the evening.
MIR. Woodard wended his way
through the 'arge audience and
finally appeared before the foot
lights. lis appearance was the
signal for an outburst of applause
He prefaced his remarks with
a tribute to the Democracy of
Wayne county. He then went
into detailed description of the
present depressed condition of
business in this country, He adj
dressed himself first to the tariff
and showed the banefuI effects of
the past high tariff laws of the Re
publican party on the country,
He said that the present Republi-
can campaign was being run on
money contributed by protected
manufacturers, and that a leading
Republican had made that charge
on the floor of the American Sen :
ate. To all those not familiar
with the tariff laws and their eff
fects. on the wage-earner as well
as the heavy additional cost to the
consumer, the remarks of Mr..
Woodard along this line were a
liberal education, He showed
himself thoroughly conversant
with the minutest q tails of this
question of national politics. He
intersperced his remarks on the
tariff with references to the in
come tax. This he showed to
be a just tax, inasmuch as it made
the man of millions bear his pro-
portional part of the expenses of
the government, With the pres
ent condition, he said, the laboring
man contributed as much to the
support of the Government as did
the millionaire.
The financial question, which he
discussed at length, was Of great
est interest to the large audience
present, and his remarks along
this line were full of instruction.
He keeloquently of the leader
of the Democratic hosts, j. w.
Bryan. He said that for years
the platforms of the National
Democratic party had demanded
for the free and unlimited coinage
of both gold and silver in no equiv
ocal terms. He commended Mr..
Cleveland's S action in recognizing
the South in the appointment Of
its honored sons to the Supreme
court bench and other high posi-
tions in the Federal Government,
but he condemned him for depart
ing from the faith of the Demo-
eratic.party in regard to the fnan-
cial question.
Mr.. Woodland spoke for an hour
and fifteen minutes and his able ut
terances met with the approval of
the large audience present, some of
whom had heretofore claimed
membership in other parties.

..E PlnrIbus Unum,, on Onr coIns.

According to the United States mint
officials, the words, ''E Pluribus
Unum, as they appear on our coins,
are there without the sanction of law.
The legend first appeared upon cop
per coin "struck" at the Newburg
New York; mint in the year 1856.
The United States was very young at.
that time and could not afford tue
luxury of a mint, so private individual
by the name of Brasher opened the
Newburg coming establishment with
the intention of turning out money of
the realm for all corners. Exactly
how the words ''E Pluribus Unum"
came to be used as q motto is not
known, but one thing is certain, the
Brasher copper coin bearing that
legend and the date Of 1856 is the
most valuable metal disk ever minted
on this continent, being worth about
81, 600, or twice as much as the famous.
rare dollar of 1904.
Some time after coming his famous
copper with the odd Latin motto as
above described. Brasher tried his
hand on a large-sized gold piece, pro-
ducinO the coin known To the nunlia-
matists as "Brasher's twenty" The
Brasher twenty" was not $40 gold
piece, however, for it lacked "a of
weighing enough; but of late years it
has become very scarce and valuable
because of the fact that the legend in
scribed upon it reads "Unum E
Pluribus," instead OF "E Pluribus
Unum." This coin is now valued at
81, 500.
