The sacred Tariff.

All the distinguished leaders of the
republican party have at various
times concealed the necessity of tar
iff reduction from time to time. Pres
ident Mckinley, who might almost be
considered the apostle of high pro-
lection, declared in his last public ut
terance that certain tariff changes
should be considered. But ever and
always organized corporate greed
and policy" compels the party to
keep it's hands off the beloved tariff,
which fosters such blooming infant
industries as the billion-dollar steel
trust. In its early history the repub-
lican was a reform party and con-
tanned many excellent men. Unfor-
tunately for the country, and for
itself. it levied high tariff duties on
imported goods, as a war measure to
raise revenue. Without intending it
for the country was then prosper
Gus. under low duties, as never before
or since, and was as strongly in faver
of free trade as was EngIand-many
manufacturing industries were pro-
tected and enabled to obtain high,
very high, prices for their products.
Manufacturers made eXor0itant prof
its. They said it would be harsh and
cruel to take off these protective du-
ties. all at once. after the war. They
claimed that ii would ruin their in
dustries if they were suddenly left
without government aid. They were

The supreme court of North Caro-
lima has affirmed the judgment of the
lower court awarding Henry +. Sea-
we'll $4,000 for being struck by - bad
eggs while upon the premises of the
Seaboard Air Line Railway company
during the campaign of 1900. Mr.. Sea-
we'll was then the populist candidate
for attorney general and was to
speak to the people of Shelby. Arriv-
ing there he was told by Il delegation
of citizens that they did not wish to
hear him. He decided not to speak,
and while waiting to take the train Il
mob of his opponents pelted him with
eggs. being aided and abetted by the
station agent. The court held that a
common carrier is not only bound
not to assault and maltreat an in
tended passenger, but after he has
gone upon its premises it should pro-
tect him from indignity, assault and
battery.

of buck ague over the possibility of

the Evergreen city and is absolutely
vital to any idea of prosperity. The
railroad wants more room for shops

that the company's demands will be
met. Public taxation to pay the cost
is suggested.

The upshot of the matter was that,

Lincoln saw the attempt of the man

their protection and profits, and he
did his best to save his party and his
country from such an unholy alliance
with greedy corporations. 1t was

to break the close connection be-

SO completely is the republican

Register, that. during the last 4,
years, no leading republican has dar-
ed to challenge their power, though
numerous outbreaks have occurred on
the part of minor or irresponsible re-
publicanS. 1t is rank heresy for any
republican TO entertain any old-fash-
Toned ideas about the rights of the
common people. if such rights con
flict in any way with the welfare of
corporations. Today any republican
like Gov. Cummins, who expresses
sneaking opinions that the tariff is
is not just right. is either read out OF
the party or suppressed. The com
mon people have no place or standing
in the republican party between elec-
ton days. Any republican who rises
to champion their interests is imme-
diately set upon by leading republi-
cans and denounced as democrat. 1
socialist, or an anarchist.
