Speaking of the enforcement of The
Chinese exclusion laws, Mr.. Sargent
says many obstacles have been encoun-
tered
THE chief obstruction" he says, Ito
the efficient enforcement of the law
arise, on the one hand, from the urscru-
pulous character of some American citi-
acns and others who find a large profit
in smuggling Chinese of the excluded
classes across our land boundaries, and
on the other from the constant inter
ference of those Jealous persons in our

silver. Mr. Clark's question exposed his
right to ask support from such men. II
he had given Mr.. Clark plain answer,
here is what Pritchard would have said:
ANSWER TO QUESTION lit is true
that cotton manufacturing is less profit
able than at any period in the history of
the State. The Republican tariff has
imposed a tax of $1OO89 ,624 on the ma
chinery bought for cotton mills in North
Carolina. and it has not helped a single
cent any cotton mill owner or any mill
operative in the State"

Hendersonville, l declared in a public
speech: ! am for free silver, 16 TO /, so
help me God, and l also said. If | ever

friend of mine will catch me and put me

vocate of the gold standard. and so far
no friend has put me in the insane asy-
lum to prevent me committing any other
crime. Now, behold me, the protector
and defender of sound currency and the
enemy of the free silver cranks!"

school fund. 1 advocate taxing all the
people for negro education and then / am
in favor of dividing it per capita to all

stated in his opinion. That would give
the negroes in some districts twice as
long a school term as the whites enjoy,
