A DEMOCRATIC BUGABOO.

Democratic speakers, A. Cami
netti among them, are trying to
make political capital out of the fact
that instances may be cited to show
that American manufactured goods
are sold at a lower rate in foreign
countries than the same kind of
goods can be bought for in the home
market. This is trotted out as an
argument against the present high
protective tariff. 1t is argued that
if it be fact that after paying
freight and duties exacted in foreign
countries American goods can be,
and actually are being, sold at a
lower price in other countries than
in the American market, it is proof
that the tariff duties are too high,
and allows too great margin to the
domestic manufacturer, and tends to
monopoly and the oppression of the
American consumer This con-
clusion, however, is by no means as
logical as it would seem. A thorough
investigation of this subject shows
the export trade of American made
goods amounts to only 3 per cent.
That is to say out of every 500
worth of goods produced in the
United States only So worth finds a
market in foreign countries. This
shows the magnificent home trade
that the United States is called
upon to protect. Even though the
foreign trade were wiped out al
together, it would cut but a small
figure in comparison with any policy
that would tend to disturb the
domestic trade. But further in
vestigation shows that of this 3 per
cent of our foreign trade not more
than 10 per cent of the goods is sold
at or below the prices ruling in the
United States. That is to say, for
every 500 worth of articles sold
abroad, SO is the sum total of the
sales at or below the home prices;
$50 worth is sold at higher figures
than are demanded of the American
consumer. 1t is further noted that
the goods sold at less than the home
prices usually consist of obsolete or
not-up- to-date goods, that could not
be disposed of in the home market.
%Ghey are sent abroad to be sold at
anything they will bring, because
they are unsaleable here. In other
cases goods are sometimes offered
at low figure, as draw for other
profitable trade. This is common
occurrence even with the home re-
tail tradesman. A merchant often
aGvertises articles at and below cost.
This is done as a trade bringer, or
to dispose of an undesirable stock.
The American manufacturer only
follows well recognized rules of bust
ness in sometimes selling undesirable
goods in foreign countries at less
than the market price in the United
States. This has nothing whatever
to do with the tariff. 1t is simply a
matter of ordinary business, that
finds a parallel in the wholesale and
retail trade of every city through
out the United States.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an iniamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth

Both Judge Parker, Democratic
nominee for President, and ex-senator
Davis, nominee for Vice-President, are
church members. Judge Parker is a
member of the Episcopal Church,
while Senator Davis is a member of
the Presbyterian church, neither hav-

church.
Judge Parker is a vestryman in the
Episcopal church, and on Sunday
morning last went to the Episcopal
Mission Church at Kingston, of which
his son-in-law, Rev. Charles M. Hall.
is the rector. Judge Parker, as was
his duty, assisted in taking up the col
lection.
Ex-senator Davis has given liber-
ally to the Presbyterian church. AT
Elkins. West Virginia, which is his
home, he had built the Davis Memo
rial Church, and together with his
son-in-law, Senator Stephen B. Elkins
he has endowed a Presbyterian Col

contributor to the Presbyterian
church, but is also an earnest mem

A KICKER is OF VALUE.

There is a necessity for kickers and
the world will never get along without
them. They are of more value to the
folks with whom they live than they
are to themselves. and they are al
ways of greatest value to folks who
kick because they kick.
Oftimes things come the kicker's
changes and what is green cheese to-
day may become the moon tomorrow,
for this is a world just full of change.
In discussing the important subject
of the kickers there are some notable
instances of these, whose lives show
that as kickers they have been bene-
factors of the race. An industrious
writer has dug down into history and
presents to the world a list of promin-
ent kickers, whose very names tell OF
the great good they have accomplish
ed. Here is what he has to say OF
various kickers:
Moses was a kicker, so were many
of the later prophets. Demosthenes in
less remote times and Cicero still later
history of the Anglo-Saxon race
is a story Of kicks and chronicle
of the triumphs of vigorous kickers
No more formidable body of kickers
than the Continental Congress and the
signers of the Declaration of indie
pendence has the world ever seen
George II. had no love for these Amer
lean kickers. He had some kickers
at home in Britain, such, for instance,
no rio Tor in a nd G.
ley Sheridan and Edmund Burke, but
they were moderation itself and meek
Eess compared with the George
Washingtons, the Benjamin Franklins
the Patrick Henrys and the Thomas
Jeffersons, energetic kickers of Wig
orouS young continent. They never
stopped kicking till the throne OF
George in America toppled over into
the Atlantic. The Republic has had
the kicker with it ever since. He has
been often denounced and vituperated
but time has usually vindicated the
justice of his position. Francis, OF
Assist. Savonarola and Luther We're
all, in their way, kickerS. They were
sneered at, threatened, punished, but
the world has long since come to re-
ccgnize their merit and the value of
their teachings.
Society needs the kicker, also does
every self-governing community and
every deliberative body. "IIe may.
as the Springfield Republican points
out, "be wrong at times, his views
may embrace and consider only part
of a subject, but if he be honest and
persistent he awakens discussions. he
draws out facts, and so in the long
run Eliminates public problems in a
way that is helpful" There is a
very marked difference between the
Kicker and the crank. The latter is
simply a misfit of negative use only
to society. But the usefulness of the
genuine kicker is positive. Who is that
keeps taxes from soaring too high
The kicker. Whom do extravagant
municipal governments most fear?
The kicker. Whom does the boodler
and the CRATER dread? The kicker.
Who is to solve the end-seat hog pro-
blem, if ever it is to be solved? The
kicker"

SOME CAUSES OF A LUKE-WARM
PUBLIC SENTIMENT!

1t is a pity that the sane and
guson, delivered to the Wake county
grand jury last Monday cannot be re-
produced in full and read by every
person of intelligence in the State.
Its distinguishing features were the
stress laid upon the duty of the citi-
zenship to make complaint and to agi-
tate against those crimes which, while
not personally affecting the individual
are at the same time corrupting whole
communities, and striking at the very
foundations of righteous government;
and the warning against the practice
that is more or less prevalent in some
communities of condoning or neglect
ing the enforcement of the law as to
| the minor offences which are classed
under the general head of "misde-
meanors."
| AS the judge wisely pointed out, it is
in this spirit of negligence and excuse
| for lawlessness which has no imme-
date serious result, that the higher
| crimes which shock the whole people
| have their birth. Let the laws be en-
| forced strictly, but mercifully, and
let every thoughtful and patriotic cit
izen not only approve but work for the
punishment of crime-for a punish
ment that, while not necessarily Sc
we're, shall come to be terrible in it's
certainty.
| 1t seems to us, however, that in one
respect Judge Ferguson went too far
| in laying the fault of the immunity of
| certain classes of criminals entirely to
a luke-warm public. That this is to
an extent true is a lamentable fact,
but how about the solicitors, with
their too free use of the mol proSs"
with their refusal to bring matters to
the attention of the grand jury for the
aid or qualification of their favored
friends? How about the we'll known
influences that so frequently hedge
about the decisions of committing
magistrates? 1t is things like the
above that go in great measure to
create the luke-warm sentiment that
in saying that the solicitor has no
power; that his duty is the simple one
of hearing the complaints of the peo-
pie and presenting them. He is well
nigh all powerful. And his power is
of that most dangerous quality, the
abuse of which can be punished only
with the greatest difficulty. 1t is a
power which may easily progress un-
foreground into corruption.
The grand juries can almost always
be depended upon to act honestly upon
the matters that are called to their at
tention; but they cannot well take the
people, it is true, but they must be en-
couraged to do so by the magistrates
and by the solicitors. Thus alone can
civic virtue and independence be as
sured. Nor is it here meant to bring
wholesale indictment against either
the magistrates or the solicitors. The
point is that they have the power;
and it is common knowledge that
sometimes they use it to suppress the
enforcement of the written law. That
ought not to be possible and it is one
of those abuses which ought to be
made the subject of a special statute
drawn so that it's operation would
be plain and simple and impeded by
no compromising technicality of pro-
cedure.
