then called Mr.. rnserw Gods attsu-
ton 10 the fact that he auwar trust
had offended more than any other
trust In the United states To tats
Mr.. rndeTwoo = quoted a. saying
that the Democrats had noG promised
10 put everything on the free Iist or
to reduce the tariff on eTeryth.ug.
and that he waa for q duty on sugar
because he was in favor u a revenue
tariff
This position taken By Leader In
derEood shows as forcefally as any
thing could how absurd Is the Deano-
cratic cry OF tariff for revenue" Il
Caucasian has stated a number ot
times. 10 the effect that the most
vicious tariff proposition ever made
is a tariff for revenue" The eau
casian has pointed out time after time
that under such a proposition the
Democratic leaders can make a pet
and favorite out Of one industry by
giving them all the protection that
they need or want, while destroying
any or every other business by re-
moving from ii all protection OF ev-
cry kind.
This was the principle that actu-
ated the Democrats when they pre-
pared the Wilson tariff bill, and in
that bill they gave the sugar trust
more protection than had ever been
given to it by the Republicans. In
deed, the sugar trust and the Ma
! tional Democratic leaders seem 10
have established just as close rela-
tions as have the Standard Oil trust
and the tobacco trust established
close relations with the Democratic
machine in North Carolina.
The Simmons and Kitchin Fight.
A prominent Democratic politician
from North Carolina here to-day ex-
pressed surprise that Senator Sim
mons had agreed to enter a primary
with Governor Kitchin to decide
which one should be United States
/ Senator. He pointed out that it was
! II %-:@
the last Legislature TO pass a law
authorizing a legalized primary, and
that it was Senator Simmons and his
followers who defeated it. He said
that all of Senator Simmons friends
had given him credit for being very
wise in defeating that measure, and
that therefore he had gained grea
+ advantage over Governor Kitchin, but
that he had now seemed to throw
away the advantage there gained.
Continuing, this politician said
that Senator Simmons easily bea
General Carr in the last Senatorial
primary because General Carr wa:
not a skilled politician and did no
have trained political lieutenant:
representing him at all of the poll
ing precincts in the State, which
made it easy for Senator Simmon!
with his trained political workers tt
commit frauds and to manipulate the
} election in his favor. But he pointed
out the fact that it would be diff
!, ferent proposition this year in a rae,
against Governor Kitchin because tn,
| Governor had developed considerabl
, political sagacity and would unques
tionably have his loyal and trained
| workers in every polling place in th'
State.
Governor Aycock Also i'm the Race.
This North Carolina politician ais,
called attention to the belief which
has spread over the State during tn
last week that Governor Aycock hat
finally consented to yield to the re
quests of his friends to enter tn
field against both Simmons and Kitch
in. He stated that the belief wa
growing that Governor Aycock woult
almost surely defeat them both an
: win the prize.

Forest Reserve.

plated in the Appalachian Forest Re

tain regions of every State covered b
