REPUBLICAN, FACTIONS.
% War About Campaign Book-The
Presidents Policy Ignored.

t-rr>toeuts Policy Ignored.
An open schism between the warning
factions OF the Republican party on
Cuban reciprocity. the tariff and the
trust questions would seem To- he inevi-
table.
On the one side are the president and
his supporters and on the other the
old and tried leaders OF that party.
The president said that Cuban reel
procity must be accomplished and
would he. sure as fate" He is also
supposed to favor n revision of the
tariff and has, after Il fashion. been
trying TO curb the trusts. though moth
ing in that line has yet been accom-
plished. On the other hand. the Re
publican machine. headed 10y senator
Hanna as chairman of the Republican
national committee. and Mr.. Babcock
and the other members of the congress
sional committee have just published
the campaign book, which makes no
mention of Cuban reciprocity and de
tends the trusts.
Citing the industrial commissions
report as authority. the book says ON
the subject OF trusts. AS far as sta
tiStics were available the report shows
in general a greater number of persons
employed and higher wages paid in
the same establishments after the com
binatiOn than before" The argument
based on this statement il hardly con
siStent with policy hostile to trusts
The whole spirit of the book il i'm
conflict with the presidents attitude
as TO reciprocity and his declarations
on the subject of trusts. II is said that
the president viii not give his sanction
10 the avoidance Of the Cuban reel
prOcity question i'm the campaign. The
Republicans who opposed Cuban reel
procity during the session of congress
are extremely anxious To cvadc that
question in the congressional fight. and
some of them are apprehcnSive lest the
president during his tour this fall
should agitate the question.
The Washington Times Of Aug. "A
says: 1T is understood that the book
has been withdrawn to be re-cdited e..
perhaps. rewritten on account OF oh
jections raised 10 il 10y close friends of
The president Its apparent conflicts
with the presidents declarations with
reference 10 trusts and its silence on
the subject Of reciprocity doubtless
furnish sufficient reason for the preSi-
dents friends to be dissatisfied with
it,"
As the Times is good Republican au-
thOrity and is noted as an organ Of the
administration this extraordinary an
nouncement is probably true. II il is.
it is unparalleled in political history
that campaign book should be with
drawn on account of the protests OF
the head Of Il political party and his
friends.
These be strenuous times. and Re.
publicans will have TO decide where
they stand.

thus freely robbed submitted without a
murmur, crossing themselves with fer

A FEW
WORDS ABOUT

Job Printing did not amount 70
much, SO far as success in business
was concerned. ANY business man
or woman could get along fairly we'll
without 1T. But we live in another
and altogether different era.
Today it is necessary for bushes,
people to have neat stationery if the,
intend to occupy prominent place
among their competitors.
When you see II piece of job priu :
ing crowded and the type jammed
too close together, with dirty looking
INK and finger marks smeared over
it, on low grade of paper. it doesn't
speak we'll for the firm which uses il.
In fact, you don't have the same
opinion of that place as you have of
the man whose stationery is clearly
printed with good ink on the beet

The quality of stationery reflects
the standing of ones business. 1t il

a Trade Paper Tells Is What Fol-
lows consolidation OF Interests"
Almost every trade paper Of today
is full of information about the trusts
and advancing prices. Thus, taking
up the Iron Age of Sept. 4. 1902, we
find on page a that manufacturers Of
ironware have revised their prices.
and as n result pals are quoted 81
per gross higher and washtubs 20 to
90 cents higher per dozen. The man
ufacturcrs Of Scythes, who have been
working i'm harmony for some time,
have agreed upon a uniform schedule
of prices for next season. which may
be I'm a general way referred to as
about 90 cents in advance of the price
for the season just closed. Ii is
thought probable that prices will be
well maintained and perhaps adj
vanced, especially if the plans that are
under consideration looking TO the con-
solidatiOn of the edge tool interests
are effected"
1t is stated that the American Fork
and Hoe company, which includes the
principal manufacturers of steel goods,
has not yet announced its prices.
IAN advance of 20 cents per hun
dred pounds has recently been made
in the price OF wrought iron washers"
An advance Of s. a ton has been
made in the price of sash weights in

The president says the Monroe doc
trine is useful only when backed by
strong navy, and yet from the day OF
President Monroe until the present
time the occupants of the presidential
office have made the monarchs of Eu-
rope keep their hands off this CONT
nent. The navy was infinitely less
than it is today and this country much
smaller in population and wealth in
the days when the doctrine was an
nounced. Is this a bluff to get con
Tress to build more battleships. or is
there a European coalition formed or
forming against us, or is our strenuous
president anxious for a scrap with
Germany or some other country that
has larger navy than ours?

Voters Alive to Issue.

1t is little wonder that the bitterest
resentment is aroused among the
trusts by the popular demand for tariff
revision.
The tariff and the trusts are one is

the campaigns of 1902 and 1904. Amer

evils in the interest of the people.

Unreliable Statistics.

That the Republicans at the head OF
Tie various bureaus in Washington oc-
caSionally suppress or distort unpleas-
ant statistics is true, but we can never
expect 10 have reliable statistics while
protection is on the throne and can
continue its rule only by deceiving the
people. Our so called balance of
trade" about which the Republicans
arc continually growing, exists only on
paper Our export figures are far too
high because the trusts are ashamed
TO give the very low prices charged to
foreigners, while our imports are far
too low because of differentiation and
Wholesale smuggling. These are only
instances of our unreliable statistics.
Another is found in the attempts of
tIe protected trusts to pad their wage
roll and make wage earners feel that
They are far better off than they really
are.

For the trust evil our adversaries ad-
wise publicity as the remedy. That
might protect investors against fraud.
But how could it protect the public
against monopoly, which is the basis
or trusts? What is needed is not ex-
aminations OF the account books of the
trusts. 1t Is the sweeping of monepo-
lies from the statute books of the peo-
pie.

was the first great protest of the Amer

silver that frightened the plutocratic

DRANK wHIsKEY AND DIED
A COlOred Girl Repeats the Alex
ander Act and With Like
Fatal Result.

Fatal Result.
Alexander the Great, on a
banter, drank too much wine and
died in consequence of his rash
act. And now comes a simple
country negro girl. Ella Best, Is
years old, who came to Colds
boro last Thursday in company
with her brother-in-law Joe
Smith, from their home in New
Hope township. and while here
Joe bought some corn whiskey,
and returning home, it seems
that Joe bsntered her that he
could drink more whiskey than
she could. Friday morning Ella
was found dead in her bed. Her
sister. Joe's wife, gave Joe 500
to buy a coffin for Ella, and Joe
has not since been seen, and it is
supposed that he took fright at
the fatal consequence of his bans
ter and concluded, with 500 in
hand, to ''burn the wind"
AS night came on and Joe did
not mater1alize with the coffin,
old man Luke Best, the dead
girls grandfather began to be
suspicious-Joe's wife not hav-
ing said a word about the banter,
or the presence even of wits key
in the and early Saturday
morning he came to the city and
consulted a lawyer. The lawyer
referred the matter to the Coron-
er, and yesterday morning DR..
Thos. Hill, the coroner, sums
moned q Jury and held an au-
topsy, and the post motem res
vealed a large quantity of whis-
key-about a pint, in the dead
girls stomach; and not till then
did Joe's wife, Elias sister, tell
of the banter between Joe AND
Ella, which she said, was with
out thought of harm or fatal con.
sequences.
The Jury rendered a verdict
that death was due to her own
act in drinking an over-quantity
of corn whiskey.
Ii the renegade Joe hears O
the verdict, exculpating him, h
may return; but, doubtless, hav
ing squandered his wife's 500 il
fight, he may ''never com
back"
Luke Best, the grandfather o
the dead girl, is one of the mos
respected colored men in tn
county, and Is in easy circum
stances.
