Not 40 fast, neighbor. The Re
publican .'orgins'' are not as unjust
as might be inferred from the above
expression. When the Fnsionists
sere in power every crime commit
tel was sid at the door OF Governor
Russell and the Fusion adminisira-
ton. The motive was partisan and
intended to upjuzfly influence the
masses. s'But whatever We SOW,
that shall We reap" Crime was
never more general nor horrible than
has been the case in this State dur
ing the past twelve months. If the
Republicans or Fusionists we're re
sponsible when they We're in power,
the Democrats must shoulder the re-
possibility now. Nor did the Re

at Wilmington, running good citi-
zens out of the State for political
opinions, stufling, stealing and other
ballot box devilment, nor did they
propose to throw open the doors OF
the State Treasury to project and
defend indicted election thieves.
Republicans regret crime and have
always endeavOred TO prevent it and
punish the perpetrators, even in their
own political household and are
doing this very thing today in the
federal courts of the d ffsrent States.
The Post doubtless remembers Gov.
Aycock's famous proclamation that
during the Fuaion-R Republican adj
ministration the crack of the pistol
was more frequent than the song of
the m0cking-b bird, and that just only
few weeks ago the Democratic
State Convention, in the platform
adopted, congratulated the State upon
the peace and good order now pre-
vailing. But "facts are stubborn
things" and such utterances cannot
and will not be accepted when there
proof to the contrary. Judge Long
and Solicitor Hammer doubtless did
their duty, but while it is easy to
stop a rivulet, a rushing river is
more difficult to dam. The carnival
of crime was not born in a day but
through years, and only fair cleo
tions, good government, carefully
educated public sentiment and more
attention to religious duties can rec
tify the evil and give us more mock
ing bird singing and less popping of
the pistol to the credit, peace and
dignity of our beloved Old North

A BELATED CORRECTION AND
CONFESSION

When State Chairman Simmons
was carrying on campaign of abuse,
misrepresentation and violence in
1898, he charged that all the viO-
lence and crime which had occurred
in the State was chsrgeable to Re.
publican and Fusion rule. At that
time the Charlotte Observer joined
in the charge. The crimes and mob
violence, which has for years and
years been growing under Demo-
cratic rule, has at last reached such
alarming proportions that the Char
lotte Observer has been moved TO
to say that no one should charge the
Democratic party with responsibility
for this reign of mob rule, and then
it proceeds to confess that it was
wrong to charge the Republicans
with being responsible for the
smaller and few number of crimes
and mob violence under their admin
istratiOn.
Why did the Observer wait eight
years to make this confession and
correction? And would it have
ever made the correction if it had
not been for the recent horrible in
stances of mob rule?
But still the question arises and
will not down: If the Democratic
party is not responsible for this reign
of lynch law and mob rule, then
who under high heaven is response
BILE? Yes, Who? Aud again we
ask, Who?

nrmoCnATs AND TIE TARIFF.

DEMOCRATS AND TIE TARIFF.
We often hear tho Democrats cay
that O. protective tariff ia robbery,
but nearly every day they show to
the world that they are at heart in
favor of robbery"
The Wilmington Mc.snngGr, in
commenting on the portion Of Bry-
ans New York speech in regard to
government ownership Of railroads,
says:
ave are told that government
ownership would insure cheaper
freight rates What does that mat
ter? The government is and for
years TO come will he dominated by
influences from the North and
Northwest, Cheap rates under that
influence means the pouring into the
South Of the Western farm produce,
hay, corn, flour, meat, etc, to COM
bCNS " ANh lAS"NSNnS w AA4O I'll
doing Of the farmers Of the South.
1t also means cheap rates from the
South on cotton to the New England
cotton mills, thereby doing away
with the advantage the Southern
cotton mills have over those of New
England because of the former being
located in the cotton fields. When
the government becomes the owner
of the railroads aud the farmers of
the West and the mill owners of the
New England States fix the railway
rates, as will be the case, The South
ern farmers and mill men will be in
a deplOrable condition"
We do not intend TO discuss just
here whether government owner
ship is best for the country or not.
That is not the purpose Of this ar
ticle. But the above from the Mes
senger shows that it is in favor of
protection, even if it is "robbery."
If the South should be protected
against The West, then why shouldn't
the South aud the West be protected
against cheap foreign goods raised
and manufactured by cheap foreign
labor: In the case the Messenger
cites the money would stay in this
country and again enter the avenues
of trade, while if we had free trade
it would take that much currency
out of our country TO pay cheap for
eign labOrers to make foreign goods.
1t would mean that thousands of Ia
borers in this country would be
thrown out Of employment, that
many of our mills would be
forced to close down, and we would
again have to open up the public
soup houses, as in the days Of Cleve-
land, to prevent the laborers from
starving.
And on top of the Messengers
article comes the news from Georgia
and Florida that the Sea Island Cot
ton Growers Association of those
two States have adopted resolution
demanding that tariff, or import
duty, be levied on Egyptian cotton. |
And why? Simply because they do
not want it to come in competition
with the cotton of this country.
And yet great majority Of these
men call themselves Democrats and
profess to believe In the doctrines of
their party on the tariff To the |
Messenger and to the cotton men of
Georgia and Florida we admonish |
you to cut loose from the sinking |
ship of Democracy and climb on the
band wagon of the party Of Progress
and Prosperity.
