GOVERNMENT BY INJUNCTION.

With the publication of the closing leg
islation tabling the Grant substitute in
the House Monday morning, we had hop
ed for awhile to turn our attention to the
discussion of other themes, leaving to the
elected representatives of the people the
task of using such legal remedies as could
be employed TO enforce the peoples will.
But yesterday morning we were start
led to learn that, not content with the
domination of the State Legislature, the
Southern Railway had resorted to the ia
yorite last resort of the railroad corpora
tions to defeat the peoples will, and had
secured from Judge Simonton an injune-
tion against the Governor, the Attorney
General, the directors or any other par
ties taking any action to annul the lease.
The notice was served on Governor Rus
sell yesterday.
1t is a new thing in North Carolina for
a Federal Judge, who was a Southern
Railway attorney before his appointment
as judge, to seek to restrain the Gov
ernor of a great commonwealth from pro-
tecting the interests of the people of the
State.
The evils of government by injunction
have grown so as to almost destroy the
Sberties of the people. As a protest TO
shis usurpation of power, the Democratic
1ati0lsal convention passed strong res
olution against government by injunc-
ton, and it was made one of the leading
issues in the late campaign. This issue
was emphasized in North Carolina by an
Injunction against the Seaboard Air Line
issued by Judge Simonton, because it had
reduced freight charges. In the West the
judges have gone to the extent of putting
laborers in contempt for quitting work,
and for their refusal to go to work when
ordered to do so, ON railroads that were
in the hands of receivers.
Yesterday the issue was brought sharp
~ again before the people by the attempt
to restrain the Governor from bringing
suit to annul the 99-year lease.
The only protection left to the people is
a determined resistance to this attempt
to make the Southern Railway more pow
erful than the sovereign State of North
Carolina. If it succeeds, we not only
have lost free government, but have also
obtained government by injunction by
and for railroads.
We call upon the Governor, in the name
of Tire people of the State to plant him.
self firmly upon the doctrine ennnciated
In the Democratic National platform, and
use every effort in the power of the COM
monwealth to prevent the carrying out
of this new method of confirming gov
ernment by railroads. The people will
stand by him, regardless Of party, if he
will plant himself firmly upon the best
plank in the Democratic platform and
fight to the last ditch the effort to destroy
the last yestige of the rights of the State.

The declared policy Of the administra-
tion waa made known at once in March,
1888 Among other features recommend
ed was the removal of the wool duty,
which was accomplished later by the en-
actment OF the German tariff. The flock
masters Immediately became alarmed, the
free-trade price of wool was at once an
ticipated and wool dropped between
March, 1898, and March, 1895, measured
by the standard grade Xxx Ohio, from n
little over 30 cents toabout Is cents The
wool growers, believing that there was no
future for the wool industry, sold their
hocks in countless numbers to the butoh-
erF, SO that the clip of 1894 fell eff to
328,000,000 pounds and that of 1895, just
clipped, to only 26t,000,00o pounds a
decrease, therefore, in the two years since
Mr.. Cleveland's Inauguration of 100000
600 pounds.
To make up this deficit in the American
clip we have been compelled to import
wool to take the place of the American
wool destroyed. Instead of only 55,00o,-
900 pounds of raw wool imported in 1894,
we imported 25o,oOO,OOo pounds in 1895
This takes no account of the imports of
shoddy, rags, waste, etc, which are entered
as manufactures of wool. In the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1894, which was the
last fiscal year under the Mex sley law,
we imported only 1874 pounds of shod-
dy, rags, waste, ETC., but during the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1895, and almost all
of it in ten months after the passage of
the Wilson law, we imported 14,772, 500
pounds of shoddy, waste, ETC., an increase
of over 1000 per cent.

WESTERN FARM MORTGAGES,

Free traders have q particular leaning
toward making false statements which
are not susceptible of absolute refutation
until weeks, months and often years af-
terward, by which time the statements
will in all probability have been dropped
by the free trade papers and orators.
Western farm mortgages have formed a
favorite subject for them, and before the
publication of the census figures on in
debtedness they kept repeating their wild
assertions with such vehemence and per-
sistency that some farmers we're inclined
to believe them.
Here is sample from the Louisville
Times published in the fall of 1889:
Bankers know more about money and
debts than any other class of men in the
country, and the Bankers Monthly is
authority for the statement that farm
mortgages of Kansas amount to $685.
100000, of Indiana $635,OOO,O00, of Iowa
$567oo0,ooo, of Michigan $5O6,o0O,000, of
Wisconsin $3570C0,0o0. Upon this i'm
mense debt the farmers are charged ex-
orbitant interest besides paying most of
the state taxes and contributing greatly
in excess of their just share to the tariff
taxes levied by the federal government.
Is 1T not strange that the grangers of the
west continue to support party and
sustain policy that have heaped these
burdens upon them"
Since then the census figures have been
issued They show that the total mort
gage Indebtedness of the above states
amounted to only 1895, ,962, sos in 1890 and
that of this amount $249,943,3S6 was on
lots in towns and cities and had nothing
to do with farmers at all. Following are
the official fgures:
Santa Fe daily New Mexican., 1897-06-09

80 that instead of farm mortgages
amounting to $2,3Oo,0oo,00o the five states
give total of only $576,0o0,00o.
Free trade romancers conveniently for
get the fact that in 102 counties selected
by the census officers for investigation, it
is shown that s0l3 per cent of farm m ort-
Cages have been assumed for purchase
money and improvements, while only "a
per cent represent money needed for farm
and family expenses; yet "tariff reform
ers" have inculcated the idea that prac-
tcally the whole indebtedness has been,
and is, for ordinary every day expenses
and debts necessitated by the tariff.
While the "reformers" have been depict
ing their absurd and magnifed views of
western farm mortgages they have been
as silent as death over the fact that the
great manufacturing state of New York
alone has a total mortgage Indebtedness
of $l,605S74, 4,301, or double the amount
shown by the five western farming states.

Rheumatism is no respecter of per-
