LOOK AT THE RECORDS.
Difference Between Protection Re-
tsrns and Those OF Democratic
Low Tariffs.

The republican party has been in
power in national affairs since 1897.
The republicans in congress, as soon
as they could. passed the Dingley tariff
act and President Mckinley signed it,.
Opponents of that measure declared it
would shut the markets of the world
against the United States. Yet from
the time 1t went into operation the
contrary effect has been produced,
says the Troy Times. II was in force
for only part of the year 1897, and
our foreign trade of that year vas
$1,s15,723,06s, against 81 ,662, 331, 61a for
1896, and the balance in our favor in
creased from $102, Ss2 1854 in 1896 to
$2s6.263, 144 in 1907. For the six years
1S07-1902 the total excess of exports
over imports was $3,110,000, 900, or an
average of more than $500, 000, 900 per
year. In some years the favorable bal
ance was over 5000, 100000.
The records of the country under
democratic rule can be searched in vain
for any such showing as that. In fact.
when the democratic party controlled
things at Washington and low tariffs
were In effect adverse balances Of
trade were the rule and favorable ones
the exception. 1t is well to bear this
in mind when certain democratic gem
tlemen are so strenuously seeking to
get back into power by promising the
people to reduce the tariff. Expert
ence has shown that adequate protec-
ton not only guards our own doors
against damaging competition, but
puts it in the power Of American in
dustry to so perfect its processes that
We can make better articles at less

origin, and hence can sell in markets
once considered absolutely closed
to us.
The big and constantly growing ex-
cess of exports over imports tells the
story of what protection is doing for
the United States. Those who want to
see the other side of the shield should
consult the volumes of official statis-
tics which show how democratic low
tariffs left us at the mercy of the old
world manufacturers.

DEMOCRATS In TURMOIL.
TroubIous Times In the Party over

tlal Candidate.

The reader who has no attachment
to the democratic party and is content
to listen to the lament of the demo
cratic organ that the country is going
to all sorts of bad at the present time
can find a mild amusement in the per-
formances of democrats regarding the
course the party shall pursue with re-
ference to candidate for the presidcn.
cy. Those who believe that the party
should be reorganized began decrying
Mr.. Bryan months ago, and now that
that gentleman has turned upon them

who did not support him, the anti-Bry-

the hottest kind of epithet at him. So,

that Mr.. Bryan is any sort of a traitor
because. after leading the party to de-

SHADOWS.

Life Is but a shadow-scene.
All the forms that pass us by
Fit as shadows DER a screen;
We may hear them laugh or sigh.
But their substance ne'er descry.
Shadows are we all.
Half the thoughts we have of others
Are but mere haphazard guess.
Even they that be as brothers
Know that we each must confess
That the others fathomless.
Shadows are we all.
Sad to have a shadow-lover;
Strange TO love we know not what.
Yet we never can discover
What's behind the veil. Sad thought
Life with mystery is fraught.
Shadows are we all.
All. so sweet some shadows are.
II the screen were rent In twain
Would the real our vision mar,
Would our loving wane?
Then let dear delusion reign
Shadows be we all!

Cape Fear and Northern Railway Will b. Com
pleted to Dunn in 80 Days---Snou!d
Come 10 Raleigh.

We printed yesterday a clipping from
the Dunn Guide, stating that there will
be a grand jollhcation upon the compile
ton OF the Cape Fear and Northern Rail
road to Dunn
Upon making further inquiry we learn
on good authority, that the Cane Fear
and Northern Railway has been extended
some sixteen miles from Angler to Duke,
III Harnett county, where the big Erwing
cotton Mills. No. 2, Is being constructed,
ana that regular trans are now being
operated over the line from Apex to Duke.
That definite inc final arrangements We're
made during the past week to extend at
once the Cape Fear and Northern road
to Dunn. This will give Dunn competing
freight and transportation facilities and
practically direct connection with Raleigh.
as the Cape Fear and Northern will run
daily trains to and from Apex, connecting.
as 1t does now, with S. A. L.. trains to
and from Raleigh SO that the people Of
Dunn can leave their homes in the morn
ing alter breakfast, spend four or five
hours IN Raleigh and return the same
day. We hope Ahe able president. Mr..
B. n. Duke, and the wise and energetic
general manager, Mr.. John c. Angler, of
the Cape Fear and Northern, may. at an
early day. see 1t to the interest of their
company to arrange with theS. a. l., if
possible. for trackage SO that their pas
senger trains. at least, can run to and
from Raleigh.
To the business men of Raleigh, this
Will be good news, for there is no reason
why 1t should not mean much to them in
the extension of their business. Raleigh.
therefore. is especially glad of the mutually
good prospects for both Dunn and the
capital city, and will be glad to ioin

rather than pity. At a time when many
doubted his guilt, and hoped that good
behavior would finally result IN his lber-
alton. he instituted the most absurd and
uncalled for behavior possible. Placing
himself on his back on the floor Wilcox
announced, that having been treated as
a hog he would look like a hog. He de-
handed that he be carried to the depot,
and a carriage was brought up at once.
He was literally taken from the cell
and placed in the carriage with the sheriff
of Perquimans county, Mr.. WINSTON, who
escorted him to Raleigh.
at the Norfolk and Southern depot
the handcuffed man seemed wild and at
tempted to shake off his real feelings un-
der an assumed pleasantly, which III be
came him. He cursed at a boy who point
ed a camera at him, and poured out de-
nunciation from time to time on any and
all who approached him IN a manner whlch
happened not to please him. He said he
would return here some day and that PEG
pie would know when he came. He made
illusions to matches and embers and hint
ed that some harbored damage was IN store
for some one"
SHERIFF Reid. in a talk with a reporter
Wednesday, stated hat he did not believe
that Wilcox meant any real threat when
he referred to fire and embers. Holding
out one hand the boy placed one finger
therein, says the sheriff, and then said, "A
few embers. a match and some houses;
they'll know when | get back; / am go
ing to do all they tell me in the peniten
tiary, and l shall not be there long.
Chief Dawson l,ys the pistol which
Wilcox carried when taken out was evi
.dently hidden II an lndent IN the wal
back of a box, which was unnoticed in the
search made a few days previous to the
taking away of Wilcox"

ssOn Monday Jim Wilcox was approach

be taken to the prison. He begged tnac

TO go along quietly. But this was refused
him by the sheriff. He afterwards pro-
duced a revolver from his person and
fired three balls into the wall Of the cell.
He then offered it for sale for the price
