ROOSEVELT AND BRYAN WIDE
APART.

TIE Progressive Farmer OF this week
falls into an error OF inference when il
says: Both Bryan and Roosevelt are
agreed that no meddling with the tariff
will prove a sufficient remedy for the
trusts, and they are right" But it needs
to be added that Roosevelt says the tariff
has no connection with trusts while Bry-
an says that the tariff would withdraw
the props from many trusts. Nobody
contends that reducing the tariff is the
only remedy necessary to destroy the
trusts. There are trusts not affected by
the tariff. but Bryan is right in saying
that the tariff cnriches some of them
and is a partial remedy, while Roosevelt
is wholly wrong in saying there is no
connection between tariff and trusts.
The Democrat who says that free trade
or tariff reduction is the only remedy
TO employ against all trusts is as far
from going 10 the bottom CT the qucs-
tion as the Republican is in saying the
tariff does not shelter any trusts. Ono
example is enough: The steel trust is pro-
tectcd by the highest tariff duties. With
draw tho tariff and the steel trust would
lose its monopoly and the power to i'm
pose taxes at will upon the American
consumers.

MERIT MAKES 1T FAMOUS.
The Only Remedy in the World, Except
a Surgical Operation. That VIII
Certainly Cure Any Form of Piles.

Inc only Remedy III the World, Except
Surgical Operation. That VIII
Certainly Cure Any Form of Piles.
The study of physicians. the expert
ments of chemists, the loudly advertised
pretensons of quacks, have been for
years expended in one direction; to find
a pile cure that would cure.
The results have been number of
harmless and in most cases useless ONT
ments ,suppositories and even internal
remedies, which the public have weighed
in the balance of experience and found
wanting; nearly all of them gave soI1e
relief, but nothing approaching a radical
cure resulted from these preparations
The remedy required is one whica will
Immediately stop the pain so severe 10
many cases of piles. and then By con-
tracing the small blood vessels (capii.
larics) to their normal size, produces 4
radical cure by reducing and finally abb
sorbing the tumors and healing the in
famed, raw mucous surfaces.
Until few years ago. no such remedr
had been produced. but at that time a
suppository was placed upon the market,
which has since proven itself TO be the
long sought permanent cure for this
common and distressing trouble; it has
rapidly become famous throughout the
United States and Canada, and is now
sold by ali druggists under the name Of
Pyramid Pile Cure.
1t is now the best known, because its
merit and safety have advertised 1T
wherever used. 1t has been advertised
by word of mouth. from one sufferer to
another; people who have tried every
thing else, even submitting to painful
and dangerous surgical operations with
out avail have finally found that piles
can be cured without pain and without
expense practically, as the pyramid

of so cents and 81 per package.
The Pyramid instantly stops all pain

of the tumors; it will euro any form of

MIR WATSON DID NOT SAY IT.

In a speech at Henderson, Hon. Cyrus
B. Watson declared that if the dictum
of Judge Furches that school money must
be divided between the races per capita
was permitted to stand. he would favo-
an amendment to the Constitution that
would not permit such an injustice to be-
done to the white children. Some people
who didn't read Mr.. Watsons speech
carefully took this statement to mean
that Mr.. Watson favored constitutional
amendment to divide the school money to
the races in the proportion of the
amounts paid by each in taxes. Mr.. Wat
son did not say that or anything that
could be construed into such an utter
ancc.
There is division of sentiment as to the
division OF tax money between the races
in the proportion that they pay It, but
the sentiment among white folks Tex
cept Radicals and their sympathizcrs) is
unanimously opposed to the dictum of
Furches. When it was printed, State SUI
perintendent Joyncr wrote to all the
county superintendent Of schools that
it was a mere dictum and instructed them
to pay no attention to it. If the Supreme
Court should order a per capita division
of the school fund it would create revo-
luton in public school affairs in North
Carolina and strike a serious blow to
educational progress. No Supreme Court
elected by the people now will ever rem
der such a decision

DEMOCRATS SHOULD PLACE NO
RELIANCE UPON NEGRO
DISSATISFACTION.

There is no doubt that q few self-re-
specting negroes are honest in their in
dignation against being kicked out Of the
Radical State Convention. They natur-
ally have contempt for the political
bosses who in 1894 and 1896 rode into
power by fiattering them, who were put
in office by their votes, and treated them
with distinguished consideration when de-
pendent upon their votes, and who now
have disfranchised them for show in their
own convention. But, while there are a
few such negroes, Democratic registrars
and Democratic leaders will be too wise
to believe that the threatened opposi-
tion by negroes to Pritchard & Co., will
amount to anything. The few negroes
whose Indignation is sincere will not
count in the aggregation of negroes who
think they can get on the registra ton
books by pretending to be hostile to the
Republican leaders. That hostility would
melt away as soon as the solid negro
vote could help the Republicans to VIC
tory.
In 1894 all over the State the negro
voters swore that they would cut off
their fright arms before they would vote
for Pppulist and they were very Sc
we're in denunciation of Buffers eau
casian. But in 1894 they voted the Fu-
sion ticket more soiidIy than ever and
dyed in the wool Republicans. Why? The
negro as a class does not vote FOR some
body He votes AGAINST the Democrats.
No man in North Carolina EVER slandered
the whole negro race as venomously and
viciously as Russell. When the Radicals
nominated him for Governor in 1896 thou
sands of negroes swore they would not
vote for him. Only a handful kept the
oath. Russell carried a bigger negro vote
than any man who ever ran for Governor
Of North Carolina.
History teaches that a negro on the
registration books is a Republican voter,
actual or potential The few who hon.
estly wish Ito resent the ingratitude OF
Pritchard & Co., can best carry. out their
purpose by staying away from the cleo
ton. The Democrats will do we'll to take
with many grains of allowance the pro-
fessicns OF those who loudly proclaim
heir desire TO he registered in order
to vote against Pritchard & Co. A negro
not registered is certain to give the
Democrats no trouble A negro regis
tered is quite as sure to vote the Re-
publican ticket. In Louisiana in the first
election after the amendment went into
effect less than ten per cent
OF the negroes in the city of
New Orleans registered, and in the
State at large the percentage was not
so large. The Republicans pretend to
have acquiesced in the Acknowledgement
of the bulk Of the negroes though every
sane thinking man knows that they wish
as many to register as possible.
The Democrats in every precinct should
be careful to see that the name of no
negro. not clearly entitled under the law
TO vote, appears upon the registration
books. They cannot be too careful to
keep the number down to the lowest pos
sible minimum consistent with an honest
enforcement of the law.
