WAR ON TOBACCO TRUST.
The Most Powerful Opposition Yet
Encountered.

The Most Powerful Opposition Yet
Encountered.
\ dispatch from Chicago March sd,
says:
The bitserest war yet has been de-
clared upon the Tobacco Trust.
The opening gun was fired to-day
by one of the leading antitrust con-
Germs.
This action is of deep significance.
1t will not only induce similar meas
ures by Lorillard, Drummord, Sorg
and other big plug tobacco men, but
it will affect the cigarette market as
we'll as every tobacco jobber in the
country.
The wholesale grocery houses in
Chicago are also included
A cut of three cents a pound has been
made in the price of brand of plug
tobacco used all over the world and
which is used sdesptead in America
The plain intention of this cut is tc
undermine the price of the antiTius
cigarettes of like kind.
By purchasing an assorted lot of to.
bacco the dealer can now obtain the
plug tobacco at five cents pound
below the straightlot price. One lot
of cigarettes or other goods form an
assorted lot and the five cents a pound
difference in price makes the ciga
rettes cost practically nothing, the
Trust having no similar brand of plug
tobacco with which TO meet the cut.
1t is evident that large firms outside
the Trust will be forced into the active
fight and this fact makes the opposi
ton the most formidable the Trus,

Rev. James A. Weston has returned
to Hickory from Kentucky, near Lou
isville, where he went to see AMI met
and talked with a son of Marshal
Michael Ney, Of France, who was
Napoleon's "Bravest Of the Brave"
and who was Peter Stuart Ney, the
school teacher of South and North
Carolina. He found the old gentleman,
who was SO years old on last Saturday,
the 29th of February, in perfect good
health, being now SS years of age.
He came to North Carolina in 1887
and met his father, who gave him
$1,000 and sent him to Philadelphia,
Pa, and there he ente. ed Jefferson

practiced medicine. He however
went under an assumed name which is
long one He has a writer history,
which he has consigned 70 Rev. Maj.
Weston, who will not dlvulge any OF
the particulars about it. They are
not to be dvuiged until after the
death Of The old gentleman.
This makes the connecting link GER

was really Marshal Ney. The old
gentleman says his father called for a

Marshal Ney'' in hi, library and had
read it. He received Rev. Mr.. Yves
ton very cordially when he learned
who he was and then subsequently
talked with him freely but not over
freely. He held back much and told
him he would learn it all from the
manuscript, after he died. Rev. Mr.
Weston says he is the perfect image OF
the published photographs of Marshal
Ney and he never had such piercing

pleasure in acknowledging receip: Of.
1t consists of number of short ..-sa, S
on the Rise and Basis of Government,
the Study of Politics, the Unity OF S ~
ereignty, and the Saving Principle, by
Cicero w. Harris, author of ga forth
coming) History Of the Sectional
Struggle" The first two divisions
treat OF government in general; the
last three, of government in the United
States. Upon the whole it makes in
teresting reading and is instructive
as we'll as entertaining. The au-
thor shows an intelligent understand
ing OF the subjects discussed, and
writes in bis usual scholarly and &C
complished style.
Mr.. Harris is personally known to
many Of our readers, and by others
will be recognized as the well known

recorded its great excellence in the

Judge its merits We have not read it,
and know nothing beyond the very
high Endorsements it received from the
best sources in Great Britain, and in
this country, and that it has been
adopted as text book in several

seen Southern book SO praised by
high authorities. 1t is probably the
most important work that ever ema-

HIS LOVE FOR THE DEMOCRACY
ne President Reminds Them That "A
Cause Worth Fighting for is
Worth Fighting for to
the End"

washington, June 16.-Tn replv +o
request from the New York Herald foI.
a statement concerning the Democrat
&c situation, President Cleveland To-
nIght sent the following to that news
paper:
i have made no figures as to the
probable action of delegates already
CHOSEN or to be chosen to the Demo-
cFatlc National convention, but re-
iuse 10 believe that when the time
arrives for deliberate action there will
be engrafted upon our Democratic creed
a demand for the free, unlimited and
independent coinage of silver. l can
not believe this, because 1 know the
Democratic party is neither unpatriot-
lc nor foolish and because it seems so
clear to me that such a course will
lnfllct a very great injury upon every
interest of our country which it has
been the mission of Democracy to adj
vance and will result in lasting disas-
ter to our party organization. There
is little hope that as a means of success
this free silver proposition, after it's
thorough discussion during a political
campaign, will attract a majority of
the voters of the country. 1t must
be that many of the illusions infiuenc-
ing those now relying upon this al
legged panacea for their ills,will be dis
PEELED before the time comes for them
to cast their ballots which will ex-
press their sober second thought. The
adoption by the Democracy of this
proposition would, / believe, give to
our opponents an advantage both in
the present and future which they do
not deserve.
'My attachment to true Democracy
is so strong that I consider it's success
as identical with the promotion of the
country's good. This ought sufficient
ly to account for my anxiety that no
mistake be made at our party conven-
ton. In my opinion no effort should
be spared to secure such action of the
delegates as will avert party demoral-
iZation.
''It is place for consultation and
comparison of views and those Demo-
Gratis who believe in the cause of sound
money should there be heard and be
constantly in evidence.
"a cause worth fighting for is worth
| fighting for to the end. If sound mon
ey Democrats suppose there is danger
| of a mistake being made such. dangers
should stimulate their activity in
averting it instead of creating discour-
agement
'I am very far from arrogating to
myself a controlling influence upon
| the policy of my party; but as an in
| fuencing Democrat who has been hon
| ored by his party and who desires
hereafter no greater political privil-
eges than to occupy the place of pri-
vate in it's ranks I hope | may not be
blamed for saying thus much at this
time. in the interest, as it SENS to me,
| of the grand old organization so rich
in honorable traditions so justly proud
of it's achievements and always so
undaunted and brave in its battles for
| the PEOPLES welfare"

tions at all times redeemable and pay
