NOT A STRONG DEFENSE

The Progressive Farmer. a journal with
Pppulistic tendencies. published at Ra-
leigh. says that the charge that the state
a contract with the Southern Railway
Company is not true. ~ the State never
made a contract with that company.
Twenty years ago, says the Progressive
Farmer, the North Carolina railroad was
leased to the Richmond and Danville
Railroad Company for q term OF years.
That this company was Tccrganize1. and
is now called the Southern Railway Com
pany. That there have been several gov
errors, and changes in the directorate
OF the North Carolina railroad. That six
years before the original lease expired a
Governor who was friendly TO the South
EN- Railway Company. called together
the directors and some Of the stockhol-
ders and they leased the North Carolina
railroad TO the Southern for a term of
ninety nine years at very low cost. The
Progressive Farmer also claims that this
was done in secret. and that only by the
merest chance did the negotiations be-
come known before the trade was con-
summated II further declares that the
people Of The State did not authorize the
DEAL and that the directors. in making
the lease. usurped powers that were not
legally vested in them. And. therefore.
says the Progressive Farmer, the State
proposes TO rcpudiate the unworthy ac-
tions Of the directors OF the North Caro-
lima railroad.
That is poor defence We do not believe
that Governor Holt would have done this
thing in a corner, and we do not believe
that the Richmond and Danvile Railroad
Company, with the best legal advice In
the country, would have entered into a
contract of such vital importance to its
interests with persoLs who were not le-
gally authorized to make it. But be this
as it may. the contract was made in good
faith. has been recognized by the State
as binding. and the State has no moral
or legal right to repudiate it.
We have no doubt that the Popuistic
prejudice against corporations is at the
bottom or this attempted reputation.

landing OF munitions and men at Banes
by the steamer Laurada in the open day.
from which we make the following ex-
tract:
A landing was effected without delay

ing the men who had come on the Lau-
rada The guns and ammunition were at
once dispatched TO the interior for the use
Of Garcia's forces. and Kolon proceeded
TO Puerto Principe 10 reJoin the insurgent
government. Castillo remained on board
the Laurada and returned to the United
States
Colonel Betancourt, upon the arrival OF
the Laurada. sent word to the Spanish
commandment of the fort that the expedi-
ton must land. and that resistance would
lead to the useless shedding OF blood.
The Spanish officer was Informed that
upon the decks of the Lddrada were ehoc-
tive pieces OF ordnance. and that II the
Spanish interfered, these. when on shore.
would be used to blow the fort and all IT
contained of the face Of the earth.
The warning was potent The arms
and the men were landed at The wharf.
and the Spanish soldiers even held AMIGA
bic parley with the Cubans.
In fact. during the progress Of the dis
embarkation OF the cargo from the Lau-
rada, the Spanish In the fort sent word
TO the Cuban commander that they had
run short Of water. The insurgent col
onel at once sent guard with supply
Of water and received the thanks of the
Peninsular soldiers.
This looks like a toy kind Of war.

The Petersburg IndeN-Appeal now says
that under q low tariff, with union rates
Of wages. neither the manufacturer nor
tho laborer in this country gets the extra
dollar for the reason that the manufac'
turor cannot afford to manufacturer and
sell his products in competition with low
WAGES abroad and therefore must 80 out
Of business.
This brings us back to the original
rropoeiton. our contention was this:
"That if the consumer is by reason Of
high tariff made to pay dollar more
Tor a suit of clothes than he would have
TO pay under a low tariff, he pays that
tax ia the manufacturer and not the
government"
our contemporary will see, as we have
before insisted. that we assume the extra
dollar under a high tariff. In other words.
that high tariff does enable the home
manufacturer to get more for his product
than he would get for the same product
under a low tariff and that the increased
price is as a tax which the manufactures
levies on the consumer. To be mere explicit
we quote from Mr.. Edward Atkinson, who
says of the proposed tarin on wool:
The value of domestic wool at the
highest estimate of the largest pToduct
of any one year, when the clip reached
about three hundred million pounds (5OO-
600 OOM. was ffty-twO million dollars o.
900 O0M. as given by Secretary North, Of
the WAYS and Means Committee. We
NAV call il ffty-fve million dollars (Soo,-
600 u0O). to give a margin for an error.
The value Of the total product OF that
wear. rated at what fifty cents go cents)
"a day would buy in food, fuel. shelter and
clothing. i'm that year came TO httle
over thirteen billion dollars (Sl3, 200 600, OOO.
The proportiOnate value of wool to the
total product on this estimate Is one TO
two hundred and forty q TO 300. If we
aUply this ratio OF values TO population.
Il follows that two hundred and thirty
nine (sg) men. women and children are
TO be subjected to a tariff tax OF ninety
cents 60 cents each. in order that one
wool grower may augment his private IN

IS proposed 10 divert from the pockets

The old-time argument Of the protec-
tionists was that the foreigner paid the
tax. and Mr. Hopkins. Of Illinois recent
IA, made that statement on the floor Of the
House. to the amusement of the Demo
Gratis. The mdex-Appeal however, is
frank enough TO admit that this is an
exploded theory and that the design and
the accomplishment Of a high tariff is
n enable the home manufacturer to set
"a better price for his goods.
Tho discussion has therefore reduced It,
self 10 this. The lndex-Appeal ana The
Times are agreed as TO the facts the only
difference between us being as to the
justification Of a system Of taxation that
enables one class TO swell their profits at
the expense Of all the people.

We have not always found ourselves in
line with the Hon. David Bennett Hill,
Of New York but he has recently given
expression to sentiment that com
mands our hearty approval, and entities
Mi. Hill to the claim that he is a Demo
crat.
In a recent article Mr.. Hill comments
on the current endeavor in our legislative
bodies to enact ridiculous laws, and says:
"When once a State attempts to inter
NEEDLE with social and personal conduct
beyond well-recognized limitations, every
barrier for the protection Of personal lib
erty is in danger OF being broken down
We are governed too much We need less.
not more legislation. Individualism
should be exalted, rather than that the
powers and functions Of government
should be increased. and to the accom-
plishment Of that end an intelligent public
sentiment should now be aroused and di-
rected"
If that IS not the foundation principle
of true Democracy. then we have in ali
these years been In error. our Democra-
cy rests upon that one principle
OF individual manhood and individual
liberty with as little law i'm restraint
thereof as the protection OF the rights
OF all demands. AS little government as
possible was Mr.. Jefferson's idea. That
country is the best governed which is
least governed. was his doctrine. And
that is our doctrine. And that Is Demo-
CIat!c doctrine.
