MR.. wONACK's SPEECH.

We surrender much Of our space to-
day to a report Of the speech made at
Smithfield on yesterday by Hon. Il. B.
Womack on the charges Of extrava-
gance in expenditure Of state funds by
the democrats during the last two
years., preferred against them by Sena-
tor Pritchard in his speech at the re-
publican convention at Greensboro. The
charge was also embodied in the plat
form adopted at that convention. We
are sorry that want of space prevents
our giving the speech of Mr.. Womack
In full. We give enough Of 1t, though,
to show how false are the charges of
Senator Pritchard. and that how. by
Juggling with figures, he has ATTEMPTED
to place upon the democrats the short
corn1ngs of his own party in the man.
agement Of the states finances. Mr..
Womack shows by figures taken from
the records in the Offices of auditor and
some of them during the re-
puohean-fusion regime, that the present
denclt in the state funds is directly and
soiely the result Of fusion mismanage-
ment while that party was in Lower.

NEW PHASE OF THE TARIFF
QUESTION.

The tariff question is put before the
people in a new light when a Massachu-
sets company which manufactures tex
tie machinery declares that because OF
our high tariff laws Il is forced to es-
tablish a plant in England to supply its
European demand.
The advocates of high tariT tell the
American people that the system is
maintained to protect our manufactur-
ers against cheap European products
manufactured by paupcr labor and In
order that home plants may he able to
pay high wages. This IS the theory
protection TO home industries and aid
TO home labor. But these protected
manufacturers say to those OF Europe:
You cannot enter our markets because
of the high duties you would nav to
pay. We have legislatcd Q out OF
them and by reason of that legislation
we can make such tremendous profits
on our goods in the HON markets that
We can enter yours AMI undersell you
at your very doors. We will not allow
you to compete with Us oven here, but
we illeiu 10 run you oII vi soui oNH
markets.
1t looks as if the American InanuIac-
turers should be content with this, but
they are. Their next move is to take
their surplus capital to Lurope and es-
tabiish plants there because by SO doing
they can better compete with their for
eign rivals. The reason given is that
tanned by the tariff. it costs more to
make their goods in this country than in
Europe with the cheap labor. The
president of the Draper Manufacturing
Company, of Hopedale, Mass, gives this
as the reason for his c~o-1pany's estab-
lishment of a plant in Englnd. And an
other reason given by him for this
move is more remarkable thar The first.
He says the further Advantage of sue
a plant abroad is that ii will make them
independent Of any changes in our
tariff: if Jul customs duties should be
reduced they would be 5ble TO supply
their American trade with the products
of their foreign, cheap-labor plants.
What more convincing argument
against high tariff could be made than
the bare statement Of this manufacture
ing company's president? Grown rich
on high tariff, he goes to Europe in or
der to avoid paying the American rate
of wages and to prepare to ship to this
country pauper made machinery rom
his plants there, in the meantime con-
tinuing to supply the markets Of Europe
from his cheap labor factories.
Will the laboring men Of this country
believe such men when the latter say
they favor high tariff in order thai labor
may thereby secure better wages? Do
they not see how they are deserted as
soon as opportunity offers.

The pending ship-subsidy bill il
condemned as wrong in principle and
policy and impOtent to accomplish the
objects claimed for it.
The Republican party is arraigned
for its failure to pass the Cuban reci-
procity bill.
He holds that the protective tariff is
the mother Of trusts and that its re-

trusts and tariff are but one issue.
On finances he reiterates his belief
in bimetalism, says that the increased
circulation has accomplished what the
reconciliation Of silver would have
done-brought prosperity, and that as
long as these conditions exist II is not
wise to urge the restoration Of free
coinage Of silver.
Discussing State issues he reviews
the history Of the School Fund and
upholds the certificates Of indebted
ness.
In conclusion he dwells upon the
