considerable responsibility as bread
winner, he thinks he can i'll afford
the loss of time from his business
Being somewhat overmodest, he is in

He is unwilling, however, to positively

in forcing him into the race. It is

this position, there is no doubt about
the fact that for these very reasons
he will, if elected, make a most capi'

BUFFERS OBJECTIONABLE SIN.

Senator Butler strenuously denied
saving that 'Outrages were commit
ted by negroes hired by Democrats for
partisan purposes" 1t was proved
that he said it by the best citizens on
Edgecombe and Nash. But it was
said in our own borders under stress
of political excitement and some were
willing to eXtenuate words spoken III
excitement But when he gets up in
Congress- in the Senate of the United
States, in the presence of the Nation's
assembled wisdom and reiterates the
charge that there are white men I'M
North Carolina who. for partisan pur-
poses, will hire negroes to assault
white women. the whip he was going
to drive Democrats out of the State
with ought to be used on him when
he sets foot on our soil again, il such
methods were encouraged by Demo
Gratis. The whip of just Indignation
and righteous wrath will be used by
all self respecting North Carolinians
on this Senator who traduces his own
people.
In his speech on Feb. 6, on the.
Pritchard resolution, page 1888, Con-
gressional Record, Butler uses these
words
Now what class of negroes would be
left to vote? There would be many thou
sands who would still vote, and this num-
Der would include all that element who
have been active and offensive in poll
tics, and who, either from innate per
versity or FOR A CONSIDERATIONS,
have furnished the capital necessary to
enable the machine politician to raise the
negro cry and appeal to race prejudice.
Here is the man who misrepresents
us at Washington. Lets whip him
out of the States list of office-hold-
ers next August. We can do it, and
the people are getting ready in every
county in North Carolina. The unpar-
donabe sin in Southern politics is to
eNalt the political power of the negro,
and the crime for which there is no
forgiyeness-hereo or hereafter--is for
Southern man to Islander the people
of his State.

TRAIL OF THE TOBACCO TRUST

TRAIL OF THE TOBACCO TRUST
Chicago Times Herald.
In the protest which the Porto Ricans
sent to Congress it was stated that Is
per cent of the Dingley rate on tobacco
was prohibitive. No class Of goods pro-
duced from leaf tobacco in the island
would be taxed less than % per cent ad
valorem, while in some cases the tax
would run as high as 100 per cent
1t is now said in explanation of this
embargo that the tobacco trust has been
making a speciality of Porto Rico for some
time. 1t began to do oimmediately after
the termination of the Spanish war.
when the island was left at the mercy
Of hostile tariffs in every quarter. Shut
out from Spain, from Cuba and the Uni
ted States, it's planters and merchants
were holding their stocks in desperation
and hoping for help from this country,
when the agents of the trust appef.red
on the scene with offers prompted by
their greed and the condition of the
market.
Their plan was to buy up the stocks
at bottom prices and then to reap the
full benefit of the rise which would come
after the establishment of free trade
with the United States. But the Porto
Ricans proved obstinate and the trust
then turned it's attention to Congress. It
became the most strenuous champion of
the tariff and has had everything pretty
much it's own way AS regards the rate
we have already seen that Is per cent
Of the Dingley schedule is all sufficient
but figures from another source make
the fact little clearer by giving fur
Their details. The ordinary price of to-
bacco in Porto Rico is 20 cents a pound
while 40 cents is paid for the finest grade
OF wrapper tobacco. The Dingley rate
is $1.S5 and Is per cent of this would be
nearly % cents, making $40 per cent
ad valorem on ordinary prices and 10
per cent on the maximum. 1t is truly
said that the trust would win if it had
only per cent of the Dingley rate.
Nor did it make any real concession
when it allowed a limitation upon the
duration of the bill. 1t expects to starve
the planters out long before the time
is up, and then it will be not only willing
but anxious to come to poor Porto Rico's
relief and confer the blessings of free
trade upon her
1t is revolving that the very first at
Itempts at legislation for our new possess
siCns should be vitiated by such a soul
less conspiracy, but fortunately the con-
science of the country is awakened and
the servants of the trust must become
the servants of the people or expect a
disastrous reckoning at the polls

DEMOCRATIC PROSPECTS BRIGHT

In Sundays News and Observer APP
peared interviews with North Carolina
congressman giving reasons for their
faith in Democratic success this year.
As supplementary to those interviews,
we print below a signed interview
with Mr.. John j. Lentz, of Ohio, one
of the ablest Democrats in the House,
who sums up very briefly the reasons
Deared in the Atlanta journal. Mr..
Lentz writes:
The prospect is growing more and
more promising for the Democracy every
day If MIR. Mckinley continues convert
ing plain duties for Porto Rican free
trade into protective tariffs, and criminal
aggressions into benevolent assmila-
tons, and continues to act, not as an
American president, but as the Queens
Lord Lieutenant and continues to have
his representatives on the floor of the
House, as he did Monday night, refuse to
put paper on the free list notwithstand
ing the fact that every newspaper in the
United States testifies that the paper
trust is robbirfg every publisher and every
reader, there can scarcely be good rea-
son left to renominate Mr.. Mckinley
when the national convention meets at
Philadelphia. The President has signed
the Currency Bill and it forecloses the Re
publicans from discussing that question
in the coming campaign and creating
scare. as they did in 1896. and will leave
ample time. to discuss the Presidents
militarism, Imperialism and his British
colonial policy. The result of all this will
be the election of w. j. Bryan and the
reaffirmaton of the principles of Wash
ington, jefferson and Lincoln.

RALEIGH'S AUDITORIUM.

The agitation for an auditorium in
Raleigh has just begun.
The advocates of selling the market
house supported that proposition be-
cause they could see no way to obtain
enough money TO build an auditorium
and market house except by the sale
of the valuable site on Exchange
Place. The opponents Of the sale,
earnestly desiring an auditorium, be
lieved that the city could find another
and better way than by the sale of the
market, and they believed that the
city ought nor to dispose of that eligi-
bic and central site.
The early submission Of the question
to the voters was wise. We now know
that the auditorium must be built
without looking to sell the market
house 1t must be built-that is nee
essary unless Raleigh wishes to see
the conventions and great gatherings
held elsewhere. What plan shall be
adopted? 1t would be a reflection upon
the capital of the State and out of har-
mony with the city's progress in every
other direction to fail to provide the
chief need of the State.
The men who opposed the sale Will
now bring forward their plans. and
every public spirited citizen Will Joln
hands in helping to carry them out.
The election yesterday ought to stlmu-
late to united individual effort to give

PORTO RICO AND HAWAII.
Springfield Republican

Springfield Republican.
The neatness with which the Raeubli-
cans have spiked all their guns il tins
Porto Rican affair is illustrated when
one analyses the desperate claim that a
tariff on island goods is necessary to
prevent the United States from being
flooded with cheap products, and the
American laboring man from being
smothered under the competition of
tropical cheap labor. If free trade with
Porto Rico means such dreadful things
why in the name of sanity has 9 bill
just passed the Senate providing for alb
solute free trade with Hawaii? Hawaii
is tropical and it is full of Japanese and
Chinese coolies, who supply the cheap
est la Dor in the world. Does Senator
Hanna maintain that the American labor
ing man has nothing to fear from free
trade with Hawaii, while free trade with
Porto Rico would mean his ruin? Come
Mr.. Hanna, treat the American people
as if they had some little intelligence.

DRUNKEN OR IDIOTIC COURAGE.

Replying to our publication that
Bowling. who was Dockerys Star wit
ness. has been sent to jail for robbery,
the AshevilIe Gazette says:
bowling was a leading light in the
White Union club and at the election
was Democratic registrar, which, in our
opinion, were much worse offenses than
robbing a drunken man.
This is ii new standard of ethics-it
is better to steal than to belong to a
Democratic organization or be poll
holder. 1t emanates from the paper
that has sold itself to the Republican
party. 1t doubtless believes it higher
morals to sell its columns to print
lies than to 60 hungry printing the
truth The Asheville Citizen appro-
priately dresses down. the inventor
of this new code of morals thus:
'Robbing a drunken man is larceny,
and under some circumstances is hign~
way robbery; but according to Norton
either larceny or highway robbery is
less crime, less degrading, less helm
Gus and less felOnious than to be
member of a white union or to be
Democratic registrar 1t might be
said that Norton has overstepped the
bounds of decency-but for the fact
that it is long time since he was on
this side the bounds of decency.
Buffers threat to whip the white
men out of the state seems to have
infused a sort of drunken or idiotie
courage into a few ours. When ours
of low degree insist on making them
selves obnoxious it is not infrequently
the case that something of a disagree
able nature occurs to them. Nothing
that Norton can say can injure the stand
ing of any white man, much less attach
stain to the white men of North Car
olna.
After all, perhaps it is Pritchard not
Norton, who is responsible for the Ga
zette. Nevertheless, even if that be true
no decent man would hire himself to
write what Norton writes"
