WHAT IS GENUINE DEMOCRATIC

II there are any genuine Demo-
Gratis, the question as to who they are
should be settled before another
Democratic" platform is thrust be-
for the people.
Some of the voters term them
selves Cleveland Democrats. and
even Mr.. Bryan favors going back to
the old Cleveland platform to resur-
rect an issue for 1912. Back to
Cleveland whom the Bryan Demo-
Gratis have abused from beginning to
end! And suppose they return as
disciples of Cleveland's policies.
What will the Democrats do with
their present leader, Mr.. Bryan? It
will be remembered that, before his
death. Mr.. Cleveland said he did not
look upon Bryan as genuine Demo-
crat. Now can an un-genuine Demo
crat take up Cleveland's policies and
lead the party to success? And. on
the other hand, If Mr.. Cleveland's
policies were not Of the genuine va
riety, can Mr.. Bryan lead to success.
Tying as his kite a brand of Democ-
racy that Is not genuine? The DEM
ocratic situation is in a very mud
died condition and will take some
experts and probably a new Moses
to lead 1t out Of the wilderness. We
repeat, If there is genuine brand
OF Democracy it should be brought
to the front at once and properly la
belled under the Pure Food and Drug
act SO that the voters may not again
be deceived.

According to the report issued by
the Census Bureau Monday, the cot
ton ginned so far this year Is three
quarter million bales less than had
been ginned at same period last year.
However, a very fair crop was made
in North Carolina for which the
farmers are realizing good money
and many experts claim that the
price will 60 above Is cents, and

be established during the last Demo-
cratic administration. is still fresh in
their memory. And as q matter OF
fact, the Democrats have been more
inconsistent on the tariff than the
Republicans. The Democratic plat
form promised to put lumber and
other articles on the free list The
Republicans simply promised to re-
wise the tariff. They didn't say up
wards or downwards. OF course the
general opinion was that 1t would be
revised downwards. and many OF the
schedules were revised downward,
and in our opinion. some few other
schedules should have been lowered.
But even as passed. we believe 1t a
much better bill than the Democrats
would have passed had they been In
power. We do know that it Is a bet
ter bill than the Democrats passed
when they were In power. 1t would
be impossible to pass a perfect tariff
bill because the same articles OF
products are not produced all over
the country and each section wants
Its production protected while the
other section that does not produce
said article wants 1t On the free list
The only question that can justly BIZ
considered in framing a tariff bill II
the greatest good to the creates
number.
While the Democratic platform
advocated free lumber, yet many O.
the leading Democrats in Congress
favored a higher tariff on lumber
than did the Republicans. And tn,
same was true when the vote wa
taken on many other schedules in tn,
bill. It was hard to tell where tn,
democrats stood. but it was very evi
dent that they did not stand on thei
platform. Bryan, Bailey, Tillman
and other prominent Democrats ar
to-day in q squabble over the Ques
ton as to just where the Democrat
party stands on the tariff.
AS the New Orleans paper says
Political parties, to be effective
must adhere to some uniform line O
action" And how can the Democra
tic party wage an effective campaig
on the tariff issue when the leader
. in that party are themselves divide
on the question?

tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of
the bladder, brick-dust or sediment in
the urine, head. ache, back ache, lame
back, dizziness, sleeplessness, nervous
ness, or the kidneys themselves break
down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
better health in that organ is obtained
quickest by proper treatment of the kid
neys. Swamp-Root corrects inability to
hold urine and scalding pain in passing it,
and overcomes that unpleasant necessity
of being compelled to go often through
the day, and to get up many times during
the night. The mild and immediate effect
of Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy
is soon realized. 1t stands the highest be-
cause of its remarkable health restoring
properties. A trial will convince anyone.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is
sold by all druggists in ffty-cent and
one-dol1ar size bottles. You may have a
sample bottle and book that tells all
about it, both sent free by mail. Address,

THEIR HOUSE IS DIVIDED.

A Democratic paper in New Or
leans thinks that the Democrats viii
win the Congressional fight next yea
and elect President In 1912 all be
cause Of the tariff bill passed by tn
recent special session of Congress
That paper says:
Now that the tariff question
mas been made the paramount
issue, the Democrats in Congress
must cooperate with the insur-
gent Republicans, but this condi-
ZION cannot endure for any
length of time, because political
parties, to be effective, must adj
here to some uniform line of &C
tlon. Hence at an early day the
republican insurgents will real
lie the necessity Of aligning
themselves with the party that ia
opposed to the Republican or
gan1zation on the tariff issue.
therefore, the blows of Mr..
Iarts big stick are shaping a
situation that is making for
Democratic victories In 1910 and
1912"
There is no more reason why the
new tariff bill should cause a Demo
cratic victory next time than there !,
reason why it should cause a large,
Republican majority. The fact ia We
do not believe it will affect the vote
materially either way. II a panie

A CARNIVAL OF CRIME.
The following is from a recent is

The following is from a recent is
sue of the Greensboro Telegram:
THAT is certainly a horrible
story which comes from Newport
telling of the murder of the
mayor of that place. He en-
forced the law against distilling
of liquor and, according to the
best obtainable evidence, was
slain for it. The mayor of New
port was martyr to law obser-
vance. In times of peace he could
not have died in worthier
cause than in a campaign for
law enforcement"
Yes, it was a horrible crime. ius
as are many others that are chron
icled in the papers almost every day
But the most lamentable fact is tina
such a carnival of crime should b,
witnessed during the reign of Demo
cratic good government" In Nortl
Carolina. Isn't there a reason. an,
isn't there remedy?

LET THE DEAD PAST BURY IT'S
DEAD.

We take pleasure in reproducing
the following from the State Demo-
crat as 1t shows a broader spirit than
is usually exhibited by the average
Democratic paper In this State. The
Democrat says:
'It would seem that a great
State like South Carolina. the
home of Calhoun and Wade
Hampton, could find other occa-
sions to celebrate, more worthy
of a great people. than that of
resurrecting the ghosts OF red
shirtism. It's as much a virtue
to forget necessary evils as 1t is
to commemorate heroic virtues.
The wonder is that our sister
State should take pains to keep
alive an episode of such ques-
tionable merit. instead OF occu-
plying all such occasions in doing
honor to her dead heroes and in
keeping alive for future genera
lions the honorable history, the
splendid traditions Of a noble
people. The day of death for
some things. as we'll as some
people, is better than the day of
birth"
We believe that every broad-mind-
ed person will agree with the senti-
ment expressed in the above article
and we wish this same sentiment
were applied to the membranes Of
the Reconstruction period upon which
Democratic politicians so frequently
harp. The political demagogue thai
has to go back forty or fifty years tt
scrape up an issue on which to write
an article or make a speech is mo-
worthy Of an audience. 1t Is wha
Is doing to-day, and what may affec
US In the tomorrow. that are Of In
terest to all intelligent people.
Judging from history, there were
many disagreeable things connected
with the Reconstruction period, ant
for few years thereafter, but so fal
as we have been able to learn, a!
many crimes were perpetrated b.
Democrats as by Republicans. Thu
same condition of affairs existed JUS
after the Revolutionary War-whert
there was neither a Republican MOI
Democratic party.
The men who caused the trouble IL
the South, following the Civil War
do not make up either the Republi
can or Democratic party OF to-day
and, therefore, neither party can b,
charged with crimes committed dur
Ing that period. So far as the Re
publican party Is concerned, Their
are ten times as many former Demo
Gratis voting the Republican tickle

lived through the Reconstruction De
Rod; and we have never heard an,
OF the one-tenth condone the lawless
ness during that period.
The party that cannot meet the Is
sues of to-day does not deserve to OK

er minded each year and the old-tim

thing but Niger" red-shirtism an,
