Nearly every newspaper that one
picks up is nowadays lied with Eews
items and editorial utterauces about
trusts. The alarming growth and
tho mepacing evil of the gigantic
combinations which destroy competi-
ton, break down individual enter
priges, aud breed stagnation and
bard times, have 50 attracted public
attention that every newspaper has
found itself forced TO discuss the
question. Even newspapers that are
believed to be friendly to trust. II
not the paid organs Of the trusts, are
forced TO take note of the alarming
increase Of trusts and to offer false
and bo9us remedies for an evil they
dare not defend openly. The poll
ticians of both parties have already
begun to declare that the other par
ty is responsible for trusts.
TIE CAUCASIAN has been pointing
out these evils for years, and it il
glad to have suddenly received sc
much help, whether it is the sincere
awakening of those who have in thu
past been asleep, or whether it is thu
shrewd subterfuge Of the mouth
piece Of the trusts attempting to mis-
lead the people with false lights
There is no necessity, however, 70
anybody to he in doubt about how Il
let rid of trusts, or for anybody t.
be fooled by those who offer falls
remedies. Every evil has q cause
The first step in getting rid Of a.
evil is to find the cause; the mex
step is to remove the cause, and the
the whole job is done. TIE CAUCAs
IAN Will support any party or tn
candidates of any party that wi
pledge itself to remove the cause

HOW Is THIS -.

The other day when depositions
were being taken in Wilmington in
tho B5llamy- Dockery contest, mem
bers of the hardware firm of jacob
and and others testified that they
did not sell any more fire arms du-
ring the last campaign than durirg
other campaign years when there
wero no riots or murders The eau
CASGAN was very much surprised at
seeing this testimony, for our infOr-
nation was jast to the contrary. A
few days ago we learned from q GER
tain country merchant living not
moro than one hundred miles from
Wilmington, that he was in Will
mington just preceding the election
aud that he heard members of the ia
cobb firm and others Boosting that
they could not order firearms in
great enough quantities to supply
the demand. That they said further
that before one consignment could
reach them the demand was so great
that they had to send new orders.
That they boasted further that these
were all sold to white men and not
to negroes. Not only this but that
the Red Shirts would not allow any
merchant to sell firearms or powder
or shot or ammunition Of any kind to
negroes, and that one small subur-
ban merchant who did sell some pow
der and shot to negro was waited
upon and informed that if such an
off was committed again he
would be run out of the town. We
have no doubt that this information
IS correct, for it is in harmony with
everything else that we heard du-
ring the campaign about that hot
bed revolution and anarchy that has
disg raced the State and put & blot
upon the fair city by the sea. Hence
our great surprise at reading in the
Wilmington papers the strange tes-
timony of members of these hard
ware firms. o! Good government

name.

VI i M CAUCASlAN.
KINsTON, N. c., April 8, 1895
Mr.. EDITOR:-I see from the pa
pers that the State Treasurer is abcu
to sell one hundred and ten tbousarG
dollars worth OF bones against tn,
faith and credit of tie taxpayers o,
tho State. This does not look macl
like prosperity under whlte suprem-
acy. I think this an outrage upor
the people, let the people ask them
selves the question: "What shall VI
do with the penitentiary I" It is moi
sustaining, and We have TO be taxed
to keep it up; there is something rad
ically wrong about it, AMI the people
ought to know what is the matter
with this institution, there must be
foul play somewhere in connection
with it. 1t is very strange that az
able bodied man cannot feed and
clothe himself in the penitentiAry,
especially when he has boss bet md
him with bull whip in his hand to
make the convicts work. What shall
We do with this institution is the
question, are we to be eternally taxed
to keep it goingi The people are get
ting very tired of being taxed on 5
cent cotton for everything that might
be made self-supporting. l say If
We cannot make the penitentiary
self-sustaining, it would be best to
adopt some other method Of punish
nent. 1t appears that the poorer the
people get tho greater the burden Of
taxation, but the people, some Of
them are like patient oxen, the great
or the burden the better they like it.
When will the people of North Caro-
lina ever get legislature that will
tighten their burdens 7 The Demo-
cratic papers cursed and abused the
Rep Pop. legislature for lncompe-
tency and extravaganza in legisla-
ton, but this last one took the cake
in appropriations and increasing Of
ficers salaries. the officers salaries of
our town has been increased doubled
to what it was under the old town
charter. The question has been
asked them why they wanted their
salaries increased, the only reason
they could give was that they had
more work to do. and the town Va,
growing, but they never for . time
considered that it takes twenty lbs.
of cotton to buy a dollar. If this in
crease of taxation continues to 20
on for Eve years longer it will be
bound to bsDkrupt the people, it il
very hard now for them to pay their
taxes.

themselves to do 90, of course the
