Many of the New York residents are
very much opposed to the Mckinley
Dingley monstrous tax bill. There is
a high tax on carpet wools. But says
Mr.. Charles S. Smith, they are not
grown in this country. They cannot
be grown in this country. God is
against it. Isothermal lines are against
it. Climatic influences prevent it. They
cost in the country from which they
are imported from 9 to 10 cents a pound.
They were free under the las tariff"
The tax II cents a pound ST put on

per cent. are used in clothing goods,
which SO per cent. are used in carpets
or can be eusd in any other way and
yet the wool is taxed II cents a pound
that can not compete with the Ameri-
can product as no such product is
the principle of protection. You might
as we'll put it on tea, coffee, or opium.
That is one of the criticisms which is
perfectly proper for the chamber Of
to make upon this bill. I
understand that Mr.. Dingley himself
is absolutely opposed to it," What a
rascally tax! Mr.. McKeever said (this
was in a meeting Of the New York
chamber of commerce) hat every ar
ticle in schedule K, which is the wool
schedule has been largely increased.

from 1S67t to this present one"
There is certainly many very high
places in the tariff bill. Take the
draw back on the plates. To show how
abused this is, a writer in the New
York Evening Post, signing himself
"Steel-Maker," says the draw back is
an insult to common sense. We quote

A leading republican Of Brooklyn, y.
Y, Mr.. Franklin Woodruff, says with
all emphasis to the Washington CORE
spondent of the Brooklyn Eagle:
IF the Dingley bill goes through in
its present form, the republicans will
lose the next congress-, and the demo-
Gratis will certainly elect the first mayor

a republican for years, and voted for
the republican candidates and spent my
time and money to elect them, but /

The Evening Post gives this from a
republican, W. take him to be: Il am

outrage, and want of ense. The Bos-
ton Herald says:

Gettysburg is positively staggering.
We would like for Captain Bond at his
leisure to make an examination of the
War Records published by the federal
government as to this point; to ascer-
tain just how many men Pickett's di-
vision had at Gettysburg and how
many it lost in killed and wounded.
Then find out how many men Petit
crews North Carolina brigade had in
the battle and what it's losses were.
We have a conviction that the exami-
nation will show this: that the North
Carolina brigade lost more men at
Gettysburg than Pickett's four brigades
lost. One regiment in the North Car
DINA (26th) lost, we think, more than
any Virginia brigade of Pickett's COM
mand lost. Now comes a quotation
thai is edifying and astounding, for 1t
exposes the gross SANDERS of the eager
liars who have s~edulously, persistent
ly sought to magnify the prowess Of
their own troops by minimizing the
deeds and slandering the brave men
Of another state. We quote from the
Democrats condensation:
Answering the charge some have
made that the left of the line did lot
advance as was expected because the
troops were not of the same fine
quality" as those upon the right, II
were raw" "undiciplined." etc. the
author y Two days before these
same soldiers of Pettigrew n Trim
bic had fought around Reynolds Grove
six hours, in a struggle that
is unsurpassed for bravery and endur-
ance, and where SO many of their num-
Der had fallen. There were, in fact, no
better troops in the confederate army
than they"
Here is the summing UP Of losses:
North Carolina's killed and wounded
1886 and missing 718; Virginia's killed
and wounded 2,S72 and missing 1913.
Will the liars abandon their trade of
traduction and injury? We hope peo-
pie will find out more of the truth still.
