MESSRS. CRAIG AND PRITCHARD.
Chai lotte Observer.


The Observer of yesterday gave
perfectly fair report OF the speeches
OF MIR. Craig and Senator Pritchard in
the Charlotte opera house Thursday
night, as it has of all the speeches
made in their joint campaign: that is
to say, it developed the strong points
made by each. with the others reply
to it, and vet a three hours debate
cannot be covered in a two-column
report. and there is much in voice
and manner, and in the setting of
such an occasion that cannot be con-
veyed by either written or spoken
words to one who was not present.
But attempting this, it may he said
here that Mr.. Craig, who had the
opening and concluding speeches, is
the more of an orator and commands
the better vocabulary Of the two.
Senator Pritchard has the more force
full manner and has his facts better
arranged. Mr.. Craig spoke like the
collegian-it is not meant to say
sophomorically but like the educated
man-while Senator Pritchard spoke
like the child of nature, like the
mountain man that he is. Mr. Craig
at proper occasion reached eloquence; :;
Senator Pritchard never approached
it. The one employed the rapier; the
other the sledgehammer. 1t is not
for us to undertake TO say whether
either answered the arguments of the
other. nor which had the better of
the discussion. But both neglected
opportunities in dealing with the
public records of each other, as for
| instance Senator Pritchard, in his de-
fence of his Observation-Disclosures bill,
did not use all the argument he had,
for he might have said that no Demo-
cratic Senator opposed the bill and
that Senator Cockrell congratulated
him upon it; that Mr.. Craig had
turned defender Of the Cleveland ad-
| ministrations while none was more
bitter in attack upon it in the cam
paigns of 1896 and '95. Aud while
Senator Pritchard appeared as the de-
| fender of the gold standard and in
| ridicule of 16 to l, Mr.. Craig neglect
| ed to remind him Of the time when he
SuppUIlcu Iue CduSc Ol Tree silver.
The greater part Of the argument
| upon national issues was confined to
the tariff, trusts, the Cleveland bond
issue and the Philippines. In all
these matters excepting the last
named The ObserI er is in entire sym.
pathy with Mr.. Craig, as also in bis
attack upon the PayneHanna ship
subsidy bill. And agreeing with the
Senator upon the Philippines and
with the competitor upon all the
other matters enumerated, it feels
itself in position TO be entirely just
to both speakers. Mr.. Craig was
strongest on State affairs; Senator
Pritchard has better grasp upon
national questions.
Both speakers are to be commended
for their uniform beautiful persona
courtesy, and the splendid audience
OF 1900 people, nearly equally divided
in their political sympathies, is to be
congratulated upon the respect il
showed both speakers. 1t Was de-
monstrative but never offensive and
every one left the opera house in a:
amiable mood as when he entered it

The Worst Form,

Multitudes are singing the praises o
kodol, the new discovery which is making
so many sick people well and weak poe;fle
strong by digesting what they eat, by
cleansing and sweetening the stomach, and
by transforming their food into the kind of
pure, rich, red blood that makes you feel
good all over. Mrs. Cranfill, of Troy, |. r.,
writes: For number of years | was
troubled with indigestion and dyspepsia
which grew into the worst form. Finally
was induced TO use kodol, and after using
four bottles | am entirely cured | heartily
recommend kodol to all sufferers from in
digestion and dyspepsia. Take dose after
meals. 1t digests what you eat. W. W.

TRUST-MADE GOODS AND THE
TARIFF.

What would the removal Of the tariff
from Trust-made goods do for the
people? 1t would lower the prices
of these goods. How would it do
this? Well, the object of the pro-
tective tariff is to keep out foreign
competition, lest it undersell our own
manufacturers IT, as the Republicans
claim, the foreign manufacturers could
undersell our manufacturers, but Tor
the tariff, is it not evident that the
removal Of the tariff would mean
cheaper goods to the consumer And
is not the un usL and arbitrary prices
the monopolies of this country see tit
to fix the evil which comes home to
everp consumer?
The kernel of the truth Of the whole
matter is this: The removal of the
tariff from Trust-made goods would
force the trusts which make them, to
sell them at the same prices they sell
them for in Europe. European manu-
facturers could never underscll Ameri-
can manufacturers in American mark
cts so long as the American manu-
facturers would sell to American con-
sumers at the same prices they give
to the European consumer~f that
is price lower than the European
manufacturer could sell at, else he
would have secured the trade. But
if trust goes to putting up prices
to the American consumer in the
fashion they now do, Europe will un-
dersell them and force theu to get
