Tale Tariff not Bothering.
Especial to The Citizen J

Canton, N. c.. Oct. 23.-Your CORES
pondent came out on the Murphy tram
from Asheville yesterday with Mr..
Frank r. Hewitt, who received consider
able support in the congressional primaries
last summer for the democratic nomina-
ton. He was on his way to Hewitt's sta
ton, where his famous tale mines are
situated. Mr.. Hewitt has large business
interests. but enjoys talking politics very
much these days and speaks freely his
opinion concerning public matters. He is
one OF. Mr.. Crawfor1's most loyal sup
porters and predicts decisive majority
for that gentleman at the November cleo
ton.
Mr.. HeWitt's attention was called to Mr..
Britt's statement in his speeches with re-
ference to voting to maintain the tariff on
tale, ''whether Mr.. Hewitt votes for him
or not"
"That makes no difference to me, he
replied. 81 told Mr. Britt this morning
that the tariff did not affect my business
one way or another, and I cared nothing
about it. The price of my product Is con-
trolled solely by the natural law of sup
ply and demand. When our tale mines
were first developed the Morrill, Law pro-
vided a tariff of so. 90 per ton. The sched-
ule under the Mckinley law was a. 90 per
ton, first quality. The market price ad-
vanced one dollar per ton, but within two
years fell off $500. The Wilson, German
bill followed and prices remained the
same. The Dingley law put 90 per cent.
ad valorum, value assessed at foreign point
of production, or 40 to 60 cents. Again
there was no change in prices until the
scarcity of our product became apparent
on the market"
Continuing, Mr.. Hewitt said: t'After an
experience of rhirty-fve years in the pro-
duction of tale and barites, find that tar
if laws do not control prices. In fact,
we have little competition on the home
market and I often ask customers to inn
port foreign goods because we are unable
to supply the demands for, the product of
our mines The tariff puts bonus in
the hands of combinations at the expense
of the people and am unalterably op-
posed to that kind of thing"
Mr.. Hewitt spoke emphatically. and his
utterances were those of an honest, con-
scientious man, who has decided convic-
tions and courage to assert what he be-
lieves to be right. He is democrat
from principle and stands loyalty by his
colors, advising his numerous friends to
do likewise.

Waited to SANDER and Vituperation. We
trust that the county candidates will
conduct their campaign along the same
lines, and they can feel reasonably sure
of greater interest and larger crowds at
their discussions.
The congressional outlook for Demo-
cracy in this district is, in The Citizens
opinion, a most encouraging one, and
reports from the country at large in
dictate that the next house of representa-
tives will have an entire different COM
plexion. The people in the Tenth dis
trict share in the the general .dissatis-
faction which pervades the country.
They would not permit themselves to
to be represented by Republican con-
gresham at the time when the anti
Roosevelt landslide shall have converted
a Republican majority of ia into
Democratic surplus. Such a turn of
affairs will be most fitting rebuke to
the imperialism and court mummery of
Mr.. Roosevelt's administration.
The Democray of this section has no
apology to make in presenting Mr..
Crawford as the congressional standard
bearer for this district. Possessing a
record in private and public life that
cannot be attacked, the party which
nominated him knows that it has chosen
wisely, and they who elect Mr.. Craw-
ford in November will say that they
did we'll Throughout his political
career the present Democratic candl-
date has advanced step by step in the
confidence of the people who know him
best, and whose interests he has always
had at heart No false step is recorded
to blight his prospects for the future,
and in again sending him to take his
place in the halls of the national Iegis-
ture, the franchise holders of the glor-
ious Tenth act with credit to themselves,
and evince their appreciation of the man
who in the past has served them faith
fully and well.-Citizen.

wish to believe it. / have heard from
both sides and try to be conservative in
the above estimate of 1, 800 majority for
Crawford. Watch and see on Novem-
Der the 9th, the result and how big his
majority.
Webster and more progressive Sylvia
on the railroad have local fight on the
question of submitting the removal OF
the county site to the legislature to
sanction vote to decide this long dis
puted question of removal or not. This
unsetLles the republican and democratic
voters near and in these two villages
and hurts both parties causing friction
to bntb. Yet this local .6gnt affects the
pocket books of the voters and cuts no
ice in Crawford's race for congress.
The democratic majority was 95. What
will it be this year? Perhaps SO demo-
cratic majority. In several counties
there is lack of thorough organization
IN each township. Some do not report
weekly the democratic list of vuters and
the doubtful voters, also the number
and politics of the new voters recently
registered IN each township. Don't
guess blindly'ynur democratic string in
each township, but examine your list of
voters aud report same Immediately tn
your headquarters. Organize and
work with tact and igor. until sunset of
hnY g.
each county and each township To your
county chairman.
On sunrise of election day work at the
polls, have plenty of conveyances ready
to bring the halt and aged to the polls.
Seek the tardy and disatfected demo-
Gratis with conveyances and carry these
early to the polls-this is an important
factor in democratic victory, for one
fourth of the democrats fail to go to the
polls, through carelessness or indiffer-
encs to the Importance of one vote. Too
many democrats fail to vote and there
by help tha enemy. Have list OF
voters at each precinct and send early
and often for the slow and Indifferent
or careless democrats. 1t is impor-
tant for every man to vote and do his
duty. England expects every man to
do his duty" was the slogan in a naval
battle that brought glory to England.
SO if you expect a democratic victory
for Crawford let each democrat work
and vote. If the democrats stay al
home and play fool and thereby aid the
enemy, you may expect defeat. Work
and vote and all will be we'll.

Hon. T. w. Crawford.

Mr.. Crawford has made canvass OF
the Tenth District, and expresses himself
as being highly pleased with the con-
ditions existing. In the compaign he
has continually had his republican Op-
ponent on the defensive, and has made
votes everywhere.
Ten days before the election we are
unable to make any estimate of the ma
iority Mr.. Crawford will obtain. 1t
seems to be universally conceded that
he will be elected, but by how great q
majority it is hard to conjecture. He
is very popular in this county and will
carry some republican votes which to-
gether with the solid democratic vote
of the county will probably give him
eight hundred majority. 1t is proba-
BILE that his majority in the district will
reach three thousand.
1t is no time. however, for lethargy.
Every democrat should 60 to the polls
and vote early. There should no rely
ing on others. Every man must do his
duty if we are to see the majority which
Mr.. Crawford is really entitled. to.
Let every democrat endeavor to carry
the full strength of his neighbOrhoOd,
and in that way the full strength of the
democracy can be carried. Our can
didate deserves every democratic vote,
and ought to receive all.-Waynesville
Courier

Especial Correspondence. }

Messrs. Crawford and Britt have
spoken in every one of the fourteen
counties to good and appreciative
crowds, without and friction, except
one Place.
Britt is a good talker and q good
dodger in an argument, deals
in clap trap fallacies to
catch votes and harps on the republican
rot of Protection and Prosperity which
has brought US all our wealth and our
big and profitable crops. The Dingley
tariff made every man prosperous and
wonder If it brought on the San Fran
cisco earthquake and disasters The
facts of history and republican leaders
like Blaine, John Sherman and others,
deny emphatically Britt's claims about
prosperity and tariff and Crawford
proves that he is wrong yet Britt shuts
his eyes to the light of history.
Crawford demonstrates his republican
arguments and puts holes in his clap
trap fallacies, and ridicules his mis-
w NOUOS. DE1bG has
tried in vain to show that tariff helps
the price of lumber, wood pulp and
tale, yet dealers in lumber and tale
deny. his claims and assert that they
compete successfully in Europe and 9TH
er foreign markets in hard woods and
wood pulp comes here free.
He claims to be fair and courteous,
yet he lodges often in debate and fails
to tote fairs
When Crawford. the skilled cam
paigner and vOte-winner, holds up in
debate the silver dollar that republican
legislation has made a huge debt by
substituting bonds for silver in circula-
tion, Britt here lodges the issue and
pretends to believe Crawford is free
silver and against gold. while he is for
gold. This is plain dodge ano not
the issue in debate. Crawford is for the
income tax that makes corporate wealth
and miilionaires with over $5, 900 annual
income and with United States tax-free
bonds pay tribute or tax to the govern

ner highly creditable to both. The
people have heard their speeches quiet
ly, without any undue demonstration.
and it seems that the voters want to
cast their ballots In this contest for the
best interests of our people in this the
Tenth district, and elect the man who
can do US the most good as our repre-
sentative In congress.
1t Is true that there are many good
citizens who will go to the polls on cleo
tion day and vote for Mr.. Crawford sim
| ply because he is a democrat and they
are democrats, without any other con-
siderations in the matter. 1t is equal
ly true that other citizens as good, in
tluenced by the same motives will cast
their votes for Mr.. Britt simply because
he is republican and they are republi-
cans ard will not vote any other way.
But all the voters of Macon county do
not belong to these classes There are
many who are open to honest convic-
tions in the matter. They prefer the
serve our interests in congress. Hon.
w. T. Crawford is the man who can do
this. He has already served two or
three terms in congress and has q large
acquaintance with the duties of con
gressman, and large influence among
the members of congress, and in the de-
parImenG of the government, and can
accomplish more for his constituents
| than Mr.. Britt can. The people have
tried Crawford and found him true in
every respect. His record in congress
has been unimpeachable. During this
campaign Mr.. Britt has not been able
to spring single charge against his rec
ord. In private life be is high toned,
Christian gentleman, and the people of
the Tenth district know they can trust
him.
1t is up to the voters of the Tenth dis
trict who are not tied down to party
/ ISM, to use their good sense and best
judgment in selecting the candidate to
support in this election. There will
probably be no money spent on either
side this year to debauch the ballot-box
and buy yethe votes of such men as are so
low and vile as to sell them. Neither
Crawford nor Britt can countenance
such vile proceedings, making the clean
campaign they are making so far.
The Press is decidedly of the opinion,
that under all circumstances, it is best
to vote for Hon. w. T. Crawford as the
man who can most ably represent US in
the next congress.
Crawford is the friend of the common
people of this district. and they are not
going to forsake him on election day.
The reports from all parts of the district
are very encouraging, and indicate
Crawford's election by large majori.
ty. While Mr.. Britt will not GO to
congress, he will be we'll provided fol
by his party and will not suffer. Re.
member, too, dear voter. that North
Carolina will have a solid democratic
representation in the next congress-

Elsewhere in this issue is published
an article dealing with the remarkable
progress made by Mr.. W. Il. Crawford
in the present campaign. The series
of his joint debates with Professor
Britt, his congressional opponent, have
served to place Mr.. Crawford in bet
ter and stronger light before the people
of the Tenth district than he has ever
stood in before. Not that he has at any
time been subject for criticism, but
the latest strength as a campaigner
which MIR. Crawford possesses has been
more fully aroused, and, unless all
signs 'gang aglee," w. T. Crawford
will be triumphantly endorsed at the
polls next month. And it is fitting and
proper that he should be, for his entire
career. both in private and public life
has been unstained by any step in a
wrong direction. Every democrat in
the district should stand fast by his con-
gressional candidate, every member of
the "party of the people" should make
it point to see that his neighbor gets
out to the dolls on election day. By do
ing so the Tenth congressional district
will be represented in the next national
legislature by man who is democrat
from his head to his heels.-Asheville

previously scored for the tobacco farm
ers The Mckinley Law repealed the
tax on leaf tobacco, but retained pro-
vision requiring the farmers to report
all sales of their product to United
States Commissioners, giving the quanti-
ty sold. the party to whom sold and
date of sale. And upon failure to so re-
port they were liable to Indictment and
subject to heavy fine and imprison-
ment.
Mr.. Crawford, ever watchful of the
interest of the farmers, as we'll as all
other constituents, charged Mr.. Ewart
in the campaign of 1890, with failure to
guard the interest of the people when
he voted for the passage of the McKin-
ley Bill. and in that campaign he (Craw-
for0 promised the tobacco growers that
he would do all in his power to have
this odlious and vicious law repealed.
When he went to the Sind congress
true to his word, Mr.. Crawford intro
duced the bill promised and succeeded
in getting favorable report from the
judiciary committee. The measure
ELECTED a long and interesting debate in
the House, which was participated in
by the leaders of both sides, including
Mr.. Dingley, father of the present tar
iff law, and Mr.. Stone, who was subse-
quently governor of Pennsylvania. Mr..
Crawford and Mr.. Stone crossed swords
IN battle royal and, Judging from the
Congressional Records report of the
debate, the goYernor-to-be be got consider
ably~worsted. In fact, Col. J. Wiley
Shook, who was at the time editor of the
Clyde Register, congratulated Mr..
Crawford, in warm terms, upon his VIC
tory over the republicans. The bill
passed and thus it was that Mr.. Craw-
ford proved himself able to protect his
people and do them real service.
There will be no more able or worthy
champion of the peoples rights in the
Goth congress from North Carolina than.
w. T. Crawford and the democracy of
the tenth district will do itself proud by
rolling up the largest majority for him

cratic candidate for congress in West
ern North Carolina. And they will do
it-Asheville Citizen.
