THE PEANUT AN ARlST0CRATlC

Indulgence once within the reach of all

that the derided peanut, newly recon-
mended by the circumstance of costliness,

If the prediction of the Public Ledger
should come true, and the peanut become

America where soil and climate com

A SENSIBLE ANSWER.

Representative Williams, OF Mississippi
the Democratic leader. is not often caught
mapping. When Mr.. Boutell, in 4 running
debate. demanded of him what he
thought of reafirming the demand for
the free coinage of silver at the ratio of
16 to 1, Mr.. Williams replied:
''It is not left to any one man to make
a political platform; but for myself, I
say that times and conditions have rele
gated the silver question to ne rear
My grandfather thought secession
was right, but 1 am not fool enough to
make that contention now.
When l favored free silver IN 1896, the
output of gold was s1O3,OO0,O0O a year
Last year it was $340, 200, 0O0"
That's it, exactly The Democrats at
Chicago declared that prosperous times
would not return until there was more
gold or silver in circulation. Hard tim 90
continued until a flood of gold poured III
from Africa. Free silver at the ratio of
Is to 1 was the means proposed to the
end. No party, but natural conditions
have RELOCATED the silver question to
the rear"

intercepted her from suppressing a rev.
olution in her borders.
within short time this little repub
lie was recognized, and q few days more
the United States had entered into a
treaty with its sister government, where
by she sold out to the United States
rights pertaining to the Panama Canal.
This statement will translate to your
minds the reasons why could not, at the
dictate of judge, jurors or any man or
set of men, vote for such a transaction.
THE Pan-Isthmian canal is indeed a
dream of the ages, in which are associat
ed many ideas of progress. There is
another dream that comes TO my heart
and mind tosSg There is dream Of a
great republfs. in which all men shall be
free. There is dream of liberty and law
walking side by side in peace and har-
mony. There is dream Of republic in
which no man is above the law, be he
President, or judge, or however high his
office that he must obey the law that
was before him.
I'm the Constitution of the United
States, which you and l alike have sworn
to support, there is provided that Con
gress shall have the power to declare
war. Every constitutional interpreter,
all the Judges and all the books regard
that as exclusively giving the power to
Congress, and to Congress alone. The
Emperor Of Germany, the KING OF Eng
land, can declare war when and against
whom he pleases. When war is once de-
clared it involves you, NE and every cit
izen in it by the principle of loyalty to
his flag and country, however much he
may be opposed to it. The wise authors
of the Constitution of the United States
stripped from one man the power to de-
clare war, and left that great constitu-
tional authority in the representatives
and ministers of the people.
According to my humble Judgment,
and l invite you gentlemen, to read the
records for yourself, the President of the
United States made an act of war against
a sister and friendly republic AS one
who believes in our Constitution and is
sworn to support it, if man who does
that thing be in the Democratic party,
Republican party or any other power, so
help me God, I never will be the man
to stand up and approve it,
To our mind, this cogent and clear-cut
statement is argument enough to con-
vince anyone that the ratification of the
treaty is condoning an act of executive
usurpation deserving only the severest
condemnation. II never will be the man
to stand up and approve it, says the
great Virginian, who speaks like a Wash
ington or Jefferson in that utterance
and acts like a Madison in opposing pol
icy that puts autocratic power in the
hands of the Chief Executive.

Glenn for Governor.

To the Editor: In naming a man for
Governor at the approaching State Con
venton, the Democratic party should en-
deavcr to name the most typical North
Carolinian competent to fiji the position.
North Carolina is making rapid strides
along the lines Of industrial prosperity,
development in education ard purity IN
politics.
Mr.. Il. B. Glenn. of Winston, Is a typi-
cal North Carolnian SO far IS industrial
prosperity is concerned, he caught the
spirit long ago. He is not only a success
full lawyer, ranking among the first in
his profession, but an all-round, success
full business man. Hc is connected with
the cotton mill and banking interests Of
the State, he owns and cultivates extern
size farming lands in this section of the
State. which Identifies him with all those
things. which add, to North Cardinals
prosperity These things qualify him as
fair and impartial executive.
lie has been identified with every i'm
portant movement along the line of edu-
cation in the State since his majority.
The part he has taken in purifying the
politics of the state is known 10 every
man who felt the evil influence of fusion
rule in this State from 1894 to 1898 His
efforts in the memorable campaign of 1898
will long be remembered by the people
of the state especially those in the east.
In all his political life he has never stoop-
ed to one dishonorabe act.
North Carolina needs a strong, active,
able, energetic man like Mr.. Glenn for
Governor. We are at a point in our his
tory when such a man is needed as chief
executive. We want man for Governor,
live and active like Mr.. Aycock. MFR.
Glenn is just such a man and we sincerely
believe he will be nominated. Surely, com
potency along all lines, together with ac-
tive party services win be thus rewarded
We shall see. Yours.

DEMOCRACY AND THE TARIFF
Hon. John Sharp Williams.

AS to the tariff, the Democratic party
stands for the principle that protcct-onlsm
is a system OF taxation whereby many
are robbed in order that a lew may be
hot-housed by legislation into artificial
prosperity. The method whereby pro
lection does this is by DETECTING capital
and labor from naturally profitable pur-
suits into pursuits made by legislation
profitable, pursuits which, without legis-
lation, would have been less pro
fitable, or perhaps not profitable at all.
The ideal Democratic tariff Tor revenue
only would consist in levying import
duties upon all, or ncarly all, imports, d.
viding them however, into three classes.
FIRST, necessaries Of life and necessaries
of industries; secondly, comforts; and
third, Injuries.

DID HIGH COTTON PREVENT A
PANIC?

One of the wisest financial leaders III
the metropolis is quoted as saying that
high cotton prevented a panic in America
last fall 1t will be remembered that just
before the cotton crop was ready for mar
ket, the bottom was dropping out OF
stocks and bonds, and the bond and stock
world were daily in fear of an all-devour-
ing panic. About that time cotton began
to appear, European mills grabbed it,
gold began to flow to this country to pay
for it, and that the higher the price the
greater the balance of trade in our favor,
and thus panic was averted.
However that may be, one thing IS
true: cotton and wheat together saved
the balance of trade in the year 1903 as
these figures shows:
