Ugly CONDITION AND HOW TO
REMOVE IT. OU

. Judge Clark in his speech before
the graduating class OF the Green's
boro Normal and Industrial School
for girls, furnished some food Tor
live thought. He called attention
to the ugly, not to say startling fact
that there are more illiterate white
voters in North Carolina than in oil
OF the other thirteen Southern
States. Who is responsible for this
hameful condition.
The Judge also pointed out the
way to remove the burning shame.
He showed how q Calf million dol
lars can be raised each year in. addi-
ton to the amount now raised for
public schools and not Cypress any
body by doing it. He showed that .
very low income tax and Inheritance
tax Zone OF the fairest and justest OF
all taxes) would raise over 100000
annually. lie showed next that
many states, including Minnesota,
Illinois and New York are taxing
the gross receipts of corporations
three per cent or more, and that q
three per cent tax in this State on
the gross receipts of the earnings Of
railroads alone would be $780, 900 q
year. He further showed that the
net profit of the railroads in this
State last year was about SIS 600 600;
that, therefore, after they. had paid
the tax they would have $4,6OO. OOO
left as clear profits. No one else in
the State is making such profits al
that. In fact, Judge Clarke further
shows that if such taxes were levied
that those who would pay them
would still not be paying as much
taxes in proportion to their ability
to pay as the masses of the people
are paying.
What would be the RESULT w.
would have nine months public
schools in the State and enough
money to make decent and necessary
appropriations for the State educa
tional institutions.
Judge Clark IN concluding hi
speech said:
"Mr. Mebane broke the ice in ma
king this recommendation to tn
legislature. 1t considered the mat
ter, but the voice Of tho people ha'
not been heard and the voice of tn
corporation was of course ready t
respond in opposition. When tn
next legislature meets the peopl
may have discussed the matter an
made their decision. The fate Q
our public school system and Q
higher education is for the people I
decide. Shall we have an effectiv
system or shall it linger in q CONS

Deafa ess Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have q
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal CON
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever, nine cases out of ton are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
indamed condition Of the mucous
surfaces.

ALAW FOR "CLIENrs."

The Texas legislature has Just
passed an antitrust law which con-
tains the following provisions:
"The sale, delivery or disposition
of any of the articles, commodities
or things hereinbefore mentioned
by any individual, company, or
corporation transacting business
contrary to the provisions of
this act, within this State or else
where, is hereby declared to be
unlawful and contrary to public
policy, and the purchaser of any
article or commodity from any
such offending individual, COM
pany or corporation shall not be liza
BILE Tor the price or payment, wheth-
or the purchase was made directly
from the individual, company or
corporation so unlawfully transact
ing business Or directly from one
who acted for such individual COM
pany or corporation as agent, etc."
This is about the only sting that
an antitrust law can carry. 1t puts
a trust on the same plane with the
gambler, which every one will admit
as proper if trusts are illegal. This
is the provision which the Missouri
law carries and which a few weeks
ago was enforced against trust do
ing business in that State. And this
is the provision which it was sought
to incorporate in the antitrust law
passed by the last legislature in this
State. out which the corporation
lawyers of that body refused to let
become q part Of it. Referring to
the action of the legislature in strik-
ing this provision from the bill, Web
ster's Weekly, "a Democratic paper)
said at the time:
"Mr. Stevens antitrust bill Jared
badly at the hands Of the judicis,y
committee of the Senate last Friday
Its best feature-the dynamite in
tended to blow up the trusts-was
stricken out and other changes made
that renders it impotent to harm
the trusts.
It is better to have no trust law at
all than to have one that Is not worth
the paper it is printed on. No law
is worth snap that does not pro-
vide q penalty adequate to tho Of
fese it forbids. Good men are Rov-
erned by their sense OF right; bad
men must be taught the terrors of
the law.
1.-THE charm Of the House bill is
that it puts the trusts on the defen-
sive; treats them as outlaws and de-
MES them the power and authority of
our courts to force our citizens to re-
spect the rights Of combinations or
ganized in defiance of law. The
principle is just and reasonable. It
will not hurt nobody who obeys the
law. 1t ought to hurt those who
break it."
This action Of the legislature, in
striking from the bill..its only eftec-
tive provisions clearly indicates who
were it, masters. In fact, it was .

THE PEOPLES PARTY PLATOON
SHOULD GUIDE.

In the new time zeal and ardor of
their protest against trusts, certain
Democratic and Republican converts
to this PEOPLES Party position, have
actually suggested, as the best meth
cd of removing them, that the gov
eminent should own and control GER
tain Of the largest industrial trusts,
like the Standard Oil Company, the
Sugar Trust, and others. These now
converts of hitherto Democratic and
Republican persuasion are of course
sincere in their desire to remove
trusts, but their method is too radi-
cal. This We presume is due to the
fact that their eyes have been too re-
Gently opened to the danger to give
them the same insight as the Popu-
list into the caucus which produce
trusts. This only emphasizes the
fact that in the order of their con-
version and in the infancy of their
new belief they should not try to
stand alone, but should rather trust
to the guidance of the Peoples Par
~ which has SO long fought the evil.
II they will study the Peoples Par
ty platform they will learn that the
party is opposed to the government
ownership of industrial trusts such
as the above named, but insists ND
on the government ownership and
control Of natural monopolies, such
AZ the highways of transportation,
and the means of the more rapid tel
egraI hic communication, which BY
virtue Of being public utilities, should
Of right, and according to the doc
trine Of the fathers, be under public
control for the best possible public
good. When you take these public
utilities from private control You
have removed the roots-the feeders
Of industrial trusts, opened competi-
ton alike to all private enterprises,
and in SO doing lave settled the trust
question. Remember, industrial
trusts could not live to such an ex-
tent but for collision with the man
ayers Of these great natural monopo-
lies, these privately controlled pub.
lie utilities, these instruments Of
commerce, which, according to the
Constitution, should be in the hands
Of the people.

ANOTHER HOLD-UP.

As has been we'll esta bllshed, the
armor plate manufacturers have for
years been charging the Govern
ment most exhor bitant prices for the
armor bought for its battleships.
The swindle has been we'll exposed,
and efforts have been made within
the last few years to stop it, but
have been rendered unsuccessful by
corporation influence in Congress.
During the last session of Congress,
when provision was being made for
armor for the new battleships. the
price which the Secretary was
authorized to pay for it was reduced,
but no provision was made whereby
the government could secure armor
in the event the armor plate COM
panies refused to sell armor at the
reduced price. 1t was we'll known
at the time that the companies
would SO refuse, there being only two
of them in America, the Bethlehem
and the Cornegie, which consider that
they have the government entirely al
their mercy, and, though Congress
might fix the price at whatever il
pleased, as long as they held the
monopoly, the government would
have pay them their price or &C
without armor. And in view of this
fact, Senator Butler at the last
session of Congress, secured thu
passage through the Senate of a bill
authorizing the construction of
government armor plant as that tn
government could supply its owl
armor. This bill as stated passet
the Senate, but was beaten il
conference. If it had passed i
would have given life and effect t
the other provision reducing tn
price, for rather than see the govern
ment build its own plant and thus en-,
their opportunity for extortion, thes
armor companies would gladly hav
accepted the reduced price. Thes
Companies and their kindred allie
knew too we'll what they were sbou
