THE GENESIS OF REPUBLICAN
SUCCESS IN THE SOUTH.

In another column We publish a
very fair and thoughtful editorial
copied from the Columbia. 8 c..
Daily Record.
This paper. though still keeping
the Democratic label, has confessed
and stated a great economic and POI
liticaI truth, which all weli-informed
and thoughtful people everywhere
know, but which few men while they
still affiliate with the Democratic
party are willing to admit
That paper realizes that the pres
ent prosperity OF the South, and its
future growth and development, de-
pend upon the government, both State
and National, being conducted on the
broad progressive principles of the
Republican party. That paper real
ICES that the Republican policies are
American policies; that they repre-
sent every progressive movement that
has been made In this country for the
uplift Of all OF the people, and that
the continuation OF those policies
means the maintenance of our high
plane OF living and prosperity as
against the Democratic policy which
would kick over the protection wall
that holds out cheap foreign labor
and cheap foreign goods.
The masses Of the voters in the
South are above the average intelli-
gence Of voters, and we believe that
a majority of them to-day know these
truths, and those who do not will
soon learn them; but this Democratic
paper has wisely stated the only two
obstacles in the way of the average
voter casting his vote according to
his judgment and for his own best
interest. The old rotten Republican
referee system in the South has been
opposed to Republican growth. The
leaders of this machine in every State
wanted to keep the party small
enough for men of their caliber to
dominate it simply as a patronage
machine.
Another thing that has prevented
Republican growth has been Unborn
prejudice, which has been accentu-
ated and intensified by the conditions
following the war. The Cleveland
administration was such a terrific o.
ject lesson that it did much to dis
solve and dissipate this prejudice.
One more Democratic administration
would complete the job, and, as our
South Carolina contemporary says,
the only virtue that could come from
another Democratic national admin
istration would be to arouse the man
hood and intelligence of Southern
voters to vote the Republican ticket
for the interest of himself and his
country.

A portion af a special from Hen
Jacksonville TO yesterdays Charlotte
Observer. says:
In summing up the evidence to
the jury, and in speaking OF the pos
sible causes OF Myrtle Hawkins
death, Coroner Kirb said that she
might have come to her death from
three causes: From shock; from en-
trance OF air into the veins, or from
a hemorrhage which could have re-
suited from criminal operation or a
criminal assault. He told of the find
ing of an unmentionable appliance in
the dead girls clothes. He said
death could not have occurred from
drowning, and if from an anesthetic
no signs of it was found in her lungs
I'm the light of all of the facts at
hand it is believed the verdict will
be that Myrtle Hawkins was murder
ed by person or persons unknown.
1t is not believed that the iurymen
will charge anybody with the crime,
but to change the verdict that upon
the finding of additional evidence
warrants may be drawn on which
criminal action can be taken. No ar
rests are expected to follow the YER
dict of the jury.
mo announcement has been made
by Detective Bradford as to when he
expects to leave Hendersonville. It
is prophesied that he will remain here
quietly working on the case in hope
Of concentrating evidence and there
by bringing about arrests.

A press dispatch sent out from
Asheville yesterday afternoon says:
LAS has been indicated the past
few days the second inquest into the
case of Myrtle Hawkins closed to-day
without leading to direct conclusions,
leaving the authorities as completely
baf1ed, as at first.
'The inquest closed at 1880, the
jury returning the following verdict:
We, the jury in the case of the
death of Myrtle Hawkins, find from
the testimony introduced that she
came to her death at the hands of
some unknown person or persons, in
manner and by means unknown to
u.s.
"Coroer Kirk gave out the follow
ing statement to the press:
The authorities will continue to
carry on the investigation, and if any
evidence is found, it will be present

THE TARIFF AND PROSPERITY,

that the tariff does not put one cent

does benefit the laboring man, The

DEMOCRATIC ELECTION THIEVES

Baltimore city is stirred owe
frauds that are coming to light il
with the recent Democrat
ic primary held in Baltimore. It ap
pears some men voted as many as si
times and that they searched tn
graveyard and voted dead men. TIL
Baltimore Evening Sun, commentin,
on the work of the election crook
in that city, says:
"Well-posted men declared to-
day that the city is on the verge
Of hearing disclosures of an al
most unbelievable nature. From
the information already in the
hands Of the authorities it is
learned that there are men walk
ing the streets of Baltimore to-
day who voted as many as six
times during the primary cleo
ton of August 20. Names of
men who never had any exist
ence in being were, it Is said,
voted by gangs Of repeaters in
different parts Of the city, and
new facts learned late this after
noon seemed to indicate that
even the graveyards had been
searched for Democratic voters.
IAN attempt at verification
Of the information showed that
at one house from which repeat
ers are said to have been regis
tered there were two voters of
the same name and a third with
the same first and last names, it
being made different by the ad-
dition of an initial.
Names of registered Demo-
Gratis who were not allowed to
vote in the primary because they
had already been voted for are
in the hands Of the authorities,
and it is said that they are con-
6dent that what is coming will
equal, if not eclipse, any of the
sensational investigations of ring
rule made in recent years in
other large American cities"
The situation in Baltimore remind
us Of the way some of the Democrat
coted in Wilmington in 1898 an,
1900. A travelling man told tn,
writer that he voted the Democrats
ticket in Wilmington four times il
one day.
Some Of the Democrats are talkin,
of reforming elections. Well. it i
time, and they should begin the re
form within their own party.

And so ex-Judge A. w. Graham,

three cents. the Preach work
man sesenty-fIve cents. the Bel
gIan workman sIxty-three cents
and the American workman tSo
dollars and thirty-iwo cents:
also. that the food for whsch the
British workman pays dol
lar at home would cost him
dollar and seventeen cents IN
Germany. niuety-nine cents IN
France or Belgium. and dollar
and forty-three cents IN The
United states-where, b. the
way. the hours OF labor are 4
per cent shorter than IN Eng
land"
It will be seen from the above that
the laboring man in the United States
receives tao dollars and sixty-two
cents while the British Iaborer re-
celyes only one dollar day and works
longer hours, and that while the
American workman pays one dollar
and forty cents for the same articles
which the British workman pays only
one dollar, still the American work
man has one dollar and twenty-five
cents left after buying his articles,
while the British workman has moth
Ing left. And some OF the necessities
of life cost even more In England
than in America.
England has free trade, while
America has protective tariff, which
not only protects the industries but
also protects the laboring man
against the competition OF articles
manufactured by cheap foreign labor.
The Durham Sun, Democratic pa
per, publishes q table OF statistics
showing that the laborer in the Unit
ed States receives twice as much, and
In some cases three times as much as
the laborer in England receives for
the same class of work The Sun in
commenting on the subject says:
ut will be seen from this
statement that the wages of Eng
lish workingmen is less than
half and in many cases less than
one-third the amount paid his
American cousins. The necessi-
ties of life are as high in Eng
land as in America and in some
cases higher. Especially is this
true of food stuffs. This high
cost Of living and low wage re-
duces the standard of living of
the English workingman to
miserably low level"
If the tariff does not benefit the
farmer, the laboring man, as we'll as
the industries, then why do they all
prosper more in America than else
where?
