4 COMPREHENSIVE VIEW.

Under the above heading The Char
lotte Observer of yesterday comments
upon the editorial in The Messenger of
last Thursday Oh the recent campaign.
We are glad to know that The Messen-
gers views meet the approval Of such
a level-headed man as the editor of
The Observer.
That campaign is now behind us and
we hope lever to pass through another
of such character. We have before US
two years of rest from politics and The
Messenger will be found working for
the best interests of the state and advo-
eating whatever in its judgment is for
the good of the people. Let's all for
get the campaign with its many dis
agreeable features and turn our at
tention TO such matters as are for the
advancement of the peoples prosperity
and happiness. Forget the bitterness
and the strife of the past summer and
fall. Republicans, democrats, and in
dependents should come together. We
all have the states interests at heart;
so let US unite and as one people go
earnestly 10 "OEh. NiSu liz IeAl
campaign comes it will be time enough
TO divide again on party issues, and
we earnestly hoe the division will be
strictly political and upon issues that
really effect the state and country and
that there will be no barking back to
old and dead ones that do nothing but
stir up strife and enmity.
The Observe has the following to
say of the above mentioned Messenger
editorial:
The Wilm ngton Messenger of
Thursday has = thoughtful and we'll
written editorial upon The Recent
Campaign which criticises its conduct
by both of the parties very frankly. 1t
says the democrats failed of fulfillment
OF the promise of the constitutional
amendment in harpinS upon h negro
issue and the reconstruction era. The
men who inflicted that era upon US, t
remarks, are dead, and numbers of
their descendants are today active
forces in the develCpmer. of the south.
There was too little of live issues and
too much of the IA past. On the
other hand, The Messenger saw nothing
in the republican campaign to COM
mand respect. The amendment CAV
the republicans an opportunity which
they did not embrace to appeal to the
promises of political freedom and to
assert boldly the principles of Fheir
party: instead of which they made the

and he uttered a political truth when
he said it should be revised by its
friends-we e a political truth from
q republican standpoint. 1t is good pol
tiles for a party when it finds a princi-
pie it advocates has become ~distasteful
20 the people to modify that principle
rather than insist upon it and thus give
their opponents an opportunity of GUST
ing them from power on an issue in
volving that principle and making the
change
There is nothing new in this demand
Tor a change in our tariff law. The re-
publicans should have expected it.
Tariff laws have TO change with the
varying conditions of the country. This
has been the history Of our govern
ment. Had the republicans recognized
this fact at the beginning Of the cam
paign and admitted that the time had
arrived for the revision of the present
day they would not have come so near
a defeat. There are thousands of men
who e a sudden and radical change
in the tariff laws who voted the demo-
@0-N N~SNoy NN0No III
republican leaders held out to then no
hope of an early modification of the
present protective tariff, who would
have voted for republican members of
congress if that party a acknowl-
edged the necessity Of such revis-
ion and had pledged it to them, in
stead Of defending the present law in
all its hardships.
The history of tariff legislation in the
United States shows that no matter
what party is in power, revision is had
every few years. The present tariff
lay has been in force about as long as
any previous one. The Dingley bill was
enacted five years ago. Few previous
ones have been allowed to go I'M
changed for the same length of time.
In the forty years preceding it's pas
sage there were nine changes more or
less radical in the tariff laws of the
country. The low tariff law of 1876 was
materially reduced by that of 1857,
which was, we believe, the lowest of all
our tariff laws. Then there were en-
acted new tariff laws in 1861, in 1870, in
1872, in 1875. in 1883, and in 1890. Then
came the Wilson-Gorman tariff bill in
1894, which was displaced in 1897 by
the present tariff bill. So it will be
seen that the present law has about
run its usual course. The time has
come for a revision of the tariff laws
Of the country and we look for a recog-
milton of this fact and their revision by
the republican party because of this
fact and for the further reason that
such action would deprive the demo-
Gratis of their most powerful weapon in
the next campaign.

mistake of attacking the democratic
administration and of fostering indie
pendent movements born of righteous
Indignation against local political ma
chimes and personal resentments to-
ward party leaders. The Messenger
concludes its very interesting review
with the expression of the hope that
the next campaign will witness the
permanent Punishment of the dead
issues Of the past and a discussion be
tween the opposing parties upon the
present issues, that bear so materially
upon the future interests of the state
1t would surely be a delight to see
North Carolina politics brought up to
date. That the people are tired Of
dwelling amongst the tombs and of nav
ing the old straw of many campaigns
threshed over in their hearing was evil
denced by the thinness of the crowds
at the political sp~eakings, followed by
the light vote on election day."

MIR. V~ANDERLIP'S ADDRESS.

The address of Mr.. Vanderlip before
the Wilmington chamber Of commerce
seems to have caused quite a stir in
financial circles and among the news
papers of the north. The Baltimore
Sun in discussing it and especially the
statement that 1.-The edge is off of our
invasion of the foreign markets in that
part of his address regarding the de-
| crease in our foreign trade, says:
1.-The experts not only believe that the
prevalence of high prices is costing the
United States a part Of the nations
foreign trade, but they also intimate
that domestic business will also be af-
fected. 1t is said that the managers of
some of the largest railroad corpora
lions fear that the increase in the cost
of living will cut down the traffic of the
railroads. 1t has been observed in the
| past that when Ugh prices tend to re-
strain trade the business of the rail-
roads suffers. Another significant fact,
according to the correspondent Of our
Philadelphia contemporary, is that
there has been a falling off late in the
demand for structural steel. and that
manufacturers of this product are be-
ginning to consider the eXpediency of
soliciting orders. OF course, the reduc-
ed domestic demand for steel may be
only temporary, but it is suspected that
the high prices which are charged for
almost all articles entering into the con-
Struction of modern buildings have act
ed as a check upon enterprise. Until
very recently iron and steel manufac-
turers were embarrassed by the Excess
Sive demand for their products. Now a
reaction has set in and some of them
are seeking business.
1T is the opinion of some New York
fnanciers and captains of industry that
the United States has about reached
| high water mark in the manufacture Of
certain products. For the last few
years the industries of the country have
been running at tremendously high
pressure. Gradually, perhaps, the ma
ton will return to normal conditions.
| 1t does not seem that there is reason to
fear a period of industrial depression
at any time in the early future. The
experts do not a~pprehend anything of
that kind. But all financial and indus
trial history shows that after a period
of exceptional activity in and
manufacture there is the inevitable
reaction. There is no reason TO think
that a reaction, in the present high
state of industrial development in the
United States. would be disastrous.
Nevertheless, fnanciers and captains Of
industry suggest that it is we'll not 70
ignore the significance of certain ten
denotes in the manufacturing and COM
mercial world. Our industries cannot
always be run under abnormally high
pressure"

newspaper Of Springfield, Mass, has
the following to say about Mr.. Wander
lips views on the financial situation:

Bank of New York is pessimistically

campaign and it came so near Win
ming a great victory that the republi-
cans will not dare to ignore the de-

presidential campaign in 1904-that is
unless the republican party, in the

matter up and grants the people the
desired relief. This would be the com
nonsense course for that party &c
take. The men of that party know
well enough that a campaign in 1904
with their party endorsing the present
tariff laws and the democrats advocat-
