THE OvERsHADOWING ISSUE.

GLOW Can the Democratic Party VIM
is the subject of an instructive article by
ex-Vice- President Stevenson in the New
York Journal. This statment contains
the gist of the article:
by an examination of our national
platforms for the years mentioned it will
be seen that the tariff question was the
paramount issue. Other questions-some
of them but questions of the hour-were
earnestly discussed and had due weight
in the successful determination. But
none the less the tariff-the ever pres
ent question of taxation-was the pivotal
issue in these bygone contests
After reviewing the tariff planks of
1876 when Tilden won, and the campaign
of 1884 and 1S92-all won upon what were
termed radical declarations for repeal of
protection tariffs-Mr Stevenson con-
cludes thus:
1.-THE 'Dingley law is now in force.
To the people it is more oppressive than
any tariff enactment which has pre-
ceded it, Abroad it has aroused serious
hostility, which is a menace to our for
eign trade. 1t is solely responsible for
the serious trade complications with our
new possessions
I'm view of the facts stated, what shall
be the issue in the approaching political
struggle? Will the Democracy profit by
the lessons of the paste
There is wisdom in Mr.. Stevenson's adj
monition. The Democrats in 1892 de-
clared the Mckinley law to be 1.-THE
eliminating atrocity of class legislation, "
and it was declared to be "the funda-
mental principle of the Democratic party
that the Federal Government has nc
constitutional power to impose and col
lect tariff duties except for the purpose
of revenue only, and the collection Of
such taxes shall be limited to the neces.
stiles of government" At that time Mr.
Cleveland and MIR. Whitney drafted &
milk and water tariff plank-they were
afraid of the vigorous and ringing plank
that was adoptd-but all soon discovered

ANOTHER LESSON IN PARDONs

We printed few days ago that a man
policeman at Emporia, Va. He was the
same man who committed murder at
Rocky Mount, was sentenced to the peni-
Tertiary and was pardoned by Governor
Russell.
The Newbern Journal gives another
lesson that is IN point. man by the
name of Thomas Rollins was sent to the
penitentiary for five years. Governor Ay
cock rardoned him upon representations
made to him that the man had consump-
ton and would die if confined in prison.
Here is the sequel:
Rollins has been in NeWbern since his
release. Monday night he got on a streak
of some kind and broke into several
houses, but without securing anything be-
fore being chased Off Later he stole a
chain from a jeweler, sneaking behind
a counter. His trial before Mayor Pat
terson was upon four counts and he was
held for trial to the April term of the
Criminal court.
"1he ponce say tnat the man appears
to be in fair health; at least that he has
no cough to indicate that he is suffering
from consumption. He hailed from Jones
county and it is said that people who
knew him were alarmed when they heard
of his release. They claim that mis-
take has been made. Rollins is evidently
confirmed criminal and IF he is near
the grave it has no effect on his actions
as he is a difficult subject to handle.

that its adoption was, an inspiration of
wisdom.
"The Dingley law is more oppressive
to the people than any tariff enactment
which preceded it," Why not say
so? Why not prove it? Why not
go to the country with a ringing, honest
declaration like that adopted in 1892
And win in 1904 upon the same declara-
ton upon which we marched to victory
in 1892.

MAKES ONE TIRED.

Here is the sort of stuff that fatigues
the Indignation of old-fashioned Ameri-
cans: At the Mckinley memorial exer-
cises Lord Pauncefote and other Ambas-
sailors were seated behind the Justices
of the Supreme court, and now the Am
bassadors have made formal complaint
demanding that hereafter they be seated
next to the President. Secretary Hay
will prepare set of regulations that
will definitely determine the status OF
Hay will doubtless tell the American
judges TO take a back seat.

WHY SHOULD NOT NORTH
CAROLINIANS PREVENT IN
CREASE IN INSURANCE
RATES BY ORGANIZ-
ING HOME COM
PANIES?

During the past three years the
amount paid I'm premiums on fire
Insurance policies has been nearly
TWO MILLION DOLLARS MORE
THAN THE AMOUNT OF LOSSES
in North Carolina.
To be exact, it has been $685.
7oS.7S.
In the face of this profitable bus
mess for the insurance companies
the most profitable known in the
history Of North Carolina-comes
the news that the Insurance Com
panies have arbitrarily made an
increase of twenty-five per cent, in
the rate for large class of insur-
ance risks.
Is North Carolina to be taxed for
the heavy losses in New Jersey? 1t
has been widely advertised that
North Cardinals new insurance
law is excellent, and its admins
tration has been markedly eff
cient. The towns and cities have
spent money to provide good fire
departments. Insurance Commits
sioner Young has been vigilant to
secure the prosecution of parties
suspected Of burning insured prop
erty. The State has enacted wise
laws. The profit on North Carolina
insurance business In three years
(from which expenses are to be de-
ducted) is nearly two million dol
lars. What returns do we have for
these things? An arbitrary in
crease in the insurance rate be-
cause certain insurance companies
have suffered heavy losses in other
States.
We published yesterday two
items of news of far-reaching i'm
portance, the organization Of North
Carolina cotton mill manufacture
ers to provide insurance ON the
mill property of the State, and a
declaration of the Greensboro Fire
Insurance Companies that they
would not raise the rate of fire in
surance.
Is North Carolina to be taxed
twenty-five per cent. additional
because its business is more profit
able to the fire insurance coInpa-
mics than ever before? If SO, then
the action taken by the mill men
at the Charlotte meeting must be
followed by men in other lines of
bushes, and North Carolina bust
ness men and capitalists must ar
range to organize other local COM
panies that can carry the bulk of
North Carolina insurance business.
Let us look at the receipts and
losses in North Carolina during the
past three years:

Commenting on the place for his bat tie with Fitzsimmons, the champion says: ''There has been talk of Fort Erie bidding, but I do not think they could guarantee us protection there. Another thing, if Fort Erie bids at all it will probably be on percentage basis. I do not think we would draw as much money at Fort Erie as we would in San Francisco. Fort Erie is close to Buffalo, of course, and Buffalo is reasonably close to New York, but it has been shown that while New York sports roll up big to anything held within an hours ride of New York they will not journey any distance even to see champions in action. This was proved when A1cGovern and Young Corbett boxed at Hartford There was barely sprinkling of New Workers on hand.
