HOW THE DINGLEY TARIFF AF.
FECTS COTTON MILL OWNERS
AND OPERATIVES.

% cotton mills in North Carolina.
36931 looms.
1851 GOA spindles
Average cost $4,000 per spindle.
S33,e32 .0s0.O0 total cost
s25 224. 10000 total machinery cost.
40 per cent. tariff duty is 1O,OS9, 624. 90.
The above figures, prepared by gen
tleman we'll posted in the cotton mill in
dustry, are a complete answer to the
argument Pritchard & Co. are making
all over North Carolina to secure cotton
mill votes. They assert that the Ding
ley tariff has made all industries p"o5-
porous. We have already shown by The
sworn testimony of forty of the leading
mill men of the State that the cotton
mill industry is in a more deplorable
condition than ever before in its history,
that many mills have been unable to
pay dividend that others have run at
a loss, and that the contemplated mill
merger is said to be contemplated be-
cause cotton milling is not now profit
sibility of Pritchard & Co. making any
votes on the tariff from cotton '1ill
owners. They cannot gain any from cot
ton mill operatives, for they have "e-
ceived no benefit from the Dingley pros
perity. Their wages have not been in
creased and they have been compelled
to pay more for all they have to buy.
For the same spindle that the New
England manufacturer sells in Europe
at S125 he charges the North Carolina
cotton manufacturer $1.75. With the
amount that has been paid TO the New
Eneland manufacturer of machinery fol-
tariff tax alone, the cotton mill men in
North Carolina could have built seven
ty-five additional mills with nine thou
sand additional looms and five hundred
thousand additional spindles, and fur
nish employment to many thousand adj
ditional people.
And yet in the face of these figures
Senator Pritchard the North Carolina
apostle of protection, has been making
special appeals for the support of cot
ton mill people.
The high tariff duties of the Republi-
can party has. as we have seen, added
ten millions of dollars to the cost of th&
machinery used in the cotton mills which
have already been established in NORTH
Carolina. This same tariff has increased
the cost of living to the operatives IT

of the great depression now prevailing
in the cotton mill industry in this State

ERRORS ABOUT THE COTTON MILL
VOTE.

Mr.. Lindsey Patterson and Mr.. George
B. Hiss are running for Congress and de-
pending entirely upon the hope that the
few Republicans or Democratic cot
ton mill owners in their districts can
control the votes OF all the operatives
and force them to vote for Patterson
in the Fifth and for Hiss in the Ninth
districts. That's what they base all their
hopes upon sn November they will
learn two lessons:
/. That the operatives in the cotton
mills carry their sovereignty under their
own hats, that they vote according to
their own convictions, and that if their
employers tried to control their votes
they would resent it.
.. That the bulk of the mill owners
and the bulk of the men who work in
the mills are Democrats from principle
and that they are not turned aside from
their principles every time sO-called
independent, dependent upon the Radi-
Gals. comes about and tells them that he
is the best fitted to represent them.
It is common error to suppose that
the cotton mill vote is doubtful, can be
controlled, or is Republican. With the
exception of a few counties. the cotton
mill vote is as reliably Democratic as
any vote in the State. They are intelligent
ha
cratic party has always been and al
ways will be white mans party, they
know that the policy of protection and
Imperialism only serve to increase the
cost of what they have to buy, and they
know it is the party to which labor can
most safely look for protection.
Wherever cotton mills have been erect
ed Democratic majorities have increased
The building of the railroads and the
erection of Gotten mills have made Mont
gomery, Moore and Randolph reliable
Democratic counties. For the first time
Davie is regarded as probably Democratic
this year because of the cotton mill vote.
When a railroad penetratcs Mitchell and
industries spring up. the Republican ma
iority there will dwindle. When big cotton
mills are erected in Yadkin and Wilkes,
those counties will leave the Repubi-
can column. Wherever progress, thrift,
enterprise and skilled labor are found
most plentifully in North Carolina, there
you find the biggest Democratic MAORI

1.-The ConvIct's Daughter"

A powerful melodrama Astounding with
startling sensations, beautiful scenery,
electrical appliances and wonderful me-
chanical effects and devices, with a
strong acting company, constitute the
main characteristics of THE Convict's
Daughter" The author has made the
central figure that of a es-
capped co-nvict-innocent as far as crime
goes, but u~njustly sentenced for another
mans crime, that of murder. He finally
escapes from prison and becomes a
tramp, or Weary WILLIE as he is now
termed. Col. Gould's confidential book
keeper, who is a villain at heart, dis
covers his identity and, by threatening
to send him back to prison. compels him
to become an unwilling accomplice to
his villainous scheme of winning the
hand of, or uining, Col. Clouds beautiful
adopted daughter.
The great sacrifice of Weary Willie
in act third, to the girl that he has just
discovered is his own daughter, is in
deed a noble one. Rather than admit
she is his daughter and blight her life
forever, he denies the relationship and
goes back to prison walls.
Imprisonment again makes him a des-
perate man and he suddenly determines
to escape. A passing freight train is his
only opportunity, but he makes a bold
dash for liberty and once more Dame
Fortune carries him to safety and free
dom
1t is a powerful, sensational play, but
pure in thought, action and language.
Every lover of good melodrama should
avail himself of the opportunity to see
hall next Monday night. Seats are now
on sale at the Eagle Drug Store and
are going fast. Secure one before the
choice seats are all AIKEN.

THE SIERRAS TUNNEL.
Project Said to Have Been Approved by South.
ern Pacific.

The Southern Pacific surveyors who
nave been engaged since last spring to
find a tunnel route for the Central Pa
cific road through the Sierra Nevada
mountains are putting the results of
their work into shape for submission to
President e. HI. Hartman, says the San
Francisco Examiner.
1t is known that the route laid out by
the surveyors provides for a tunnel 34,-
800 feet long, or nearly seven miles. The
estimated cost is s14, 600, 900. 1t will cut
down the summit grade 1,50O feet and
enable the company to get rid of all but
three miles of the forty-two of snow
sheds. The proposed tunnel will pierce
the mountains at an elevation of about
$500 feet. BY removing almost 1900 feet
of the present grade the approaches and
grades of the road at each end of the
tunnel can be Strengthened very mater
tally and reduced.
The tunnel is part of Mr.. Harriman's
plan to modernize the Central Pacific and
reduce time between San Francisco and
Chicago twelve hours. or from three
days. as at present, to two days and a
half.
