startling story comes from
Northam pton county, which is
vouched for by trustworthy citi-
zens. A few days ago, while
Henry Moody was walking along
a lonely country road, there sud.
denly appeared before him
Wilkes Scott, who had been dead
since January. Moody recognized
Scott at once, and was about to
turn and run whsn the apparition
spoke and asked if he Moody
was afraid of him. Moody says
he then felt no fear and answer
ed: Il was at first, but I am not
now" Scott said: well, I want
you to get me something to take.

since | left here. and what I get
there does not agree with me-"
Then, as mysteriously as he had
come, he vanished and left Moody
standing alone in the road.
Moody who is said TO be truth
fu', sticks to the story and des
elares he has seen the ghost of
scott and recognized him just as
he mad known him when alive.

The Demonstration Last Night

The Junior Order of Urite,

Thursday night in Farmers'Ware
house on the court house square
There were something over 800
people present by invitation. The

chairs and tables for the guests,
with a decorated ros!rum for the

band was in good taste and
could not have been improved
upon with the material at hand.
The scene, under the brilliant
rays of an electric arc light, with
the audience about equally d.
yided between men and women.
the latter being the wives, sweets
hearts and relatives of the men,
bers of the Junior Order, was
one that caused the hearts of the
Juniors present to swell with
pardonable pride. It is doubtful
if the order in North Carolina
ever assembled a larger or more
distinguished congregation.
The K. of p. Band opened the
ceremonies with several good Sc
lections, after which Mayor
Hood, in a short but telling
speech. introduced the speaker
OF the evening, Prof. E. P. Man.
gum, of Wilson, a prominent eds
ucator with a State reputation,
and also an active member of the
Junior Order, who made an ex-
cellent speech, which was listen

large audience. He made no at
at ornate descriptions or
lights OF oratory, but analysed in
simple, but impressive language

plain by direct application the
objects and aims of the organiza>
ion. His speech was enjoyed by :

Instead OF resisting innovations, he
uses his skill and Intelligence to turn
inventions and Few methods to his ad-
vantage. BY making the best use OF
new appliances the American workman
can turn out enou~h more goods to en-
able the manufacturer to pay from 30
to 100 per cent moro wages to skilled
labor
But another powerful factor in Great
ing this difference is the much-de-
nounced policy of Protection. The
United States Is by far the best mar
ket in the world. The 76,OOO.OOO OF
people in the United States consume
as much in value of the products OF
skilled labor as twice as many people
elsewhere. IL may be said to be the
American policy, in contradistinction
to the British or Free Trade policy.
to reserve as far as possible, this BEST
market in the world for the producers
in the United States; so at the very
outset, for all the products of skilled
labor. we have a wider market than
any other nation in the world. Now 1t
stands to reason that the certainty OF
a market that consumes three or four
times as many goods as the market
of any competing nation affords en-
ables the American manufacturer 10
thrive on profit on each pound. yard,
etc, much smaller than can his COM
petitor in any other country.
1t is the quantity sold that makes
the price. To illustrate, the shoe manu-
facturer who can put upon the mar
ket 100 cases a week cannot sell at so
small profit as the manufacturer who
makes 900 cases week. Still further
the Protective Tariff has always en-
abled the manufacturer to pay much
higher wages than are paid elsewhere
in the world. The workman who earns
these wages has twice as much money
to spend for the products of other la
ber Cut the wages paid in the United
States 80 to so per cent, and consump-
ton of merchandise in many lines will
be reduced in like ratio. Thus in two
fold measure the much-denounced Pro-
tective policy is the cause OF the high
wages in the United States.
Great Britain, driven into close quar-
tiers by adhering to its Free-Trade pol
icy by competitors created by the Pro-
tective policy, has but one way OF
meeting the ruinous American compe-
tition, and that method is the reduction
of wages, thus to some extent curtail-
ing the capacity of labor to consume
its own products. -Indianapolls Jour

The mental attitude of American
free-traders on the subject of tariffs
and reciprocity treaties is clearly de-
fined by the Milwaukee News. With
a degree of candor more commendable
than common in the discussion of this
question the News says:
Protection and reciprocity will not
and cannot mix. Reciprocity will be
possible when our tariff laws are
framed with the distinct understanding
that they are intended for trading pur-
poses and not to give to American pro-
ducers a monopoly Of the home mark
ct. To make reciprocity a success, the
republican party must abandon protec-
ton"
This is why our domestic free-trad-
ers with one accord yearn for reciproc-
ity. They perfectly well understand,
what some protectionists seem to over
look, that if protective tariff law can
be nullified, little at time, by means
of reciprocity treaties, it will not take
long to repeal, abrogate and entirely
destroy the effectiveness of that law.
The kind of reciprocity that takes
away from American producers the
control of the home market is the kind
free-traders favor. Well and truly do
they maintain that to make that kind
OF reciprocity success the republic
can party must abandon protection.

were put down, curtains hung up, beds
aired and made, drawing and dining

dismal shell, on which Mrs. Cowley
had looked with such horror, hand
some, modern-looking dwelling place
was deduced, possessing every comfort
which the most fastidious taste could
require-at least, for short sojourn.
Mr. Cowley might have been less lib

here his honor was in some measure
at stake, and he was not satisfied till
he had done his very best.
He came home late on the evening OF
the thirtieth of November, and an
nounced, with a pleasant smile, that all
was ready for the removal. Rose
scarcely knew whether to be glad or
sorry that her often repeated wish was
about to be granted. In her heart she
began to feel little timid though she
would have gone to the stake rather
than acknowledge it. Catharine shed
some tears, but her father only laughed
at her. AS for Mrs. Cowley, she packed
her trunks as If for an expedition to
the Fejee Islands, and Mrs. Grimes as
sisted her, grooming dismally the while
over the ''contrariness of them men,"
At two p. M, all was ready, but Mr..
