The People’s Column.
What is approved, what condemned and
what eriticised.
¥~ Nore:—This column is open to everybody,
but it must be borne in mind that no personal
quarrels will be allowed to be conducted through
it. The objects of this column are for the gener-
al good of the town and country at large, but it
must be borne in mind that the editor is not re-
sponsible for the opinions of contributors. Re
member, it is the people's column; the editor
shall not write a word for it.
Eprtor Star: —I endorse every word
said last week about our school board,
by ‘‘Justice,” who spoke through the
People’s column. His sentiments are al-
so mine. We have a wide-awake school
board. and now that we also have a law
that gives the pupils free text books,
needed stationery, etec., I think the com-
ing school term ought to be the most suc-
cessful that Salisbury ever had. With
free text books, every boy and girl of
school age ought to be sent to school.
Poverty and inability to buy books can
no longer be make an excuse to keep
children at home. Any parent that will
keep his or her children out of school
since the Free Text Book bill has become
a iaw, deserves to be bastinadoed. Par-
ents, see that your children are sent to
school. STUDENT.

Mr. EpiTor:—I want to say a few
words concerning a nuisance that ought
to be prohibited. It is this thing of men
blockading the sidewalks, as they fre-
quently do at several different places in
Salisbury. This is almost a nightly oc
currence, and sometimes ladies are almost
compelled to quit the pavement and walk
in the middle of the street. These gangs
of profane loafers and tobacco spitters
seem to have no respect for themselves
or anyone else. Why are they allowed
to monopolize the whole sidewalk for
hours at atime? Why do not our officers
make them be decent in their street de-
portment, the same as would be required
of a woman if she should see fit to loaf
about the streets? And why do some of
our merchants tolerate so much loafing
about their stores? So far as possible I
shall keep out of stores that are noted as
public loafing places. A WomAN.

Eprror Star: —I don’t remember who
called my attention to the fact, but I
was told by some one, about a year ago,
that wearing a hat on the back of the
head is a sure sign of a poor brain. Since
that time I have been a close observer as
to how men wear their hats, and in all
candor I must say that as yet I have
failed to see the first man noted for
shrewdness, high intellect or good busi-
ness qualities that wears his hat that way.
This may not be admissible to the Peo
ple’s column, but if it is, I would like to
see it appear there in order to promote
close observance, which I believe is in-
srtuctive and of benefit to those who take
notice of things.
Now, let the readers of Tar STAR keep
their eyes open and see whether they
will ever see a man of keen intellect with
his hat cocked back on his head. You
will see about two classes of people wear-
ing their hats that way, one class being
shallow-brained young men that are bad-
Iv “stuck” on themselves and want to
show their nicely combed hair. The oth-
er class addicted to that manner of wear-
ing a hat is the class made up of bums.
loafers and people generally of a vulgar
nature.
I have a man in mind now, one who is
now deceased, but who not many vears
ago was a resident of Salisbury. He was
a man of great intellect and noble prin-
ciples, but like all of us, poor mortuls
that we are, he had his faults, and one
of them was intemperance. This man
was a fine appearing gentleman when so-
ber, but when intoxicated and minus his
intellect, his hat was invariably on the
back of his head and he looked more like
a big slugger than anything else. How-
ever, as soon as his intellect returned, his
hat would come forward to its accustomed
place and he would again look manly
and refined.
If you will take the trouble to observe
for yourselves, you will find that the men
who wear their hats on the back part of
their heads are ‘small potatoes and few
in a hil.” CLosE OBSERVER.

Tir new tariff measure might properly

Toe declaration ¥ of the eloctointe at the
last election against the system of pro-
tection, the formation of a government
pledged to tariff reform and the gradual
drawing near of the time when the work
of instituting the reform must be begun,
is sufficient in a tariff country like the
Republic to cause fear and trembling
throughout the land. —Commercial, Win-
nipeg, Canada.
Tue textile workers of seventy-five fac-
tories in Philadelphia have led the way
in a protest against tariff-smashing. At
a mass meeting of their representatives
the opinion was unanimous that the sole
cause of the shutting down of the mills
was the uncertainty in regard to the tar-
iff. “We do not,” said one of the speak-
ers, ‘‘pretend to understand the fine sys-
tem of free trade, but we do know that
we can carn a living under a protective
tariff. and now many of us are earning
nothing.” This bugle call from Philadel-
phia should be re-echoed all over the
country.—New York Recorder.
JasPEr N. HANEY, in the Weatherford
(Tex.) Appel, voices THE STAR'S senti-
ments as follows:
“I want to see the manufacture of pins,
needles and buttons in this country pro-
tected, as well as every other article of
use and consumption. I want to see
American ideas and boys and girls pro-
tected from foreign devils and anarchists.
I want to see a protective tariff placed
upon emigrants, as well as foreign-made
fabrics. I want to see America assert
the independence she gained when she
rebelled against England. I want to see
the South, the West, the East and North
a unit upon the principle of protective
tariff, and McKinley elected Governor of
Ohio.
IT will be remembered by American
people—we mean the intelligent, reading
class—that in 1890 the factory hands at
Sheffield. England, burned Wm. MeKin-
ley in effigy. 'Thig ®as done because the
McKinley tariff law transferred work,
wages and profit from English to Amer-
ican soil. It will also be remembered
that the same class of Sheffielders wildly
cheered Ben Folsom, the President's
cousin, when he made a speech at Shef-
field and made the statement that the
party of free trade is now in power in
the United States. Straws still continue
to show which way the wind blows, and
just now the winds of prosperity are
blowing toward England. whild the cold
blasts of poverty are beginning to sweep
over the United States. Why is this?
Because the party of free trade, as Cousin
Ben justly terms it, is in power and has
threatened to repeal the McKinley tariff
law. Workingmen, how do you like the
prospect?
WE had the same money one,
three, and ten years ago;
prosperous, work plenty,
outside the Silverites, were crying for
more. The nation never experienced
more genuine prosperity. But the polit-
ical conditions were not then as they are
now. The party that threatened to over-
throw protection to American industry;
that had proclaimed “a war of extermina-
tion against the protected industries of
the country,” was not in power. Here is
the root of the trouble. Let the work-
ingmen memorialize Congress not to in-
terfere with protection; let them agitate
against opening our ports to the indus-
trial products of Europe, and they may
prevent the carrying out of the Free-
Trade program. If the great mass of
the working men of the country, employ-
ed or unemployed, would make them-
selves heard in behalf of home industry,
they might prevent a ruinous reduction
of the tariff. Manufacturers fear to pro-
duce a large stock of goods when they
know that a reduction of the tariff would
force them to compete with cheaper goods
made in Europe.—Cleveland Leader.

and but few,
of you, regardless
read the two following resolu-
Ww ORKINGMEN, . all o
of party,
tions:
ResoLvED, That on and after Oct. 1st, 1893, the
duty on all imports will be one per cent. less
than a protective duty.
REesoLvED, That the duty imposed on imports
under the McKinley bill will not be changed for
two years from the 1st day of October, 1893.
Now then, having read the resolutions,
suppose the present Democratic adminis-
tration were to pass one of them and
leave it to you which one to pass. Would
you choose the first or the second?
Which one of them do you think would
be the more apt to start up the mills and
factories? You all know which of those
two resolutions would be in accord with
the Democratic platform, also which
would be in accord with the last Repub-
lican administration; but that makes no
difference. The question is this: Asa
workingman, be you a Democrat or a
Republican, which of those two resolu-
tions (if one or the other should be passed
by the present administration) do you
think would be the more apt to start up
the factories, mines and mills, and there-
by make it easier for you to obtain
work and a living? Answer the question
to yourse!ves—answer it honestly, con-
scientiously and manfully; and in an-
swering it, do not let party prejudice
blind you. If you do this, every mother’s
son of you will answer in favor of the
second resolution. It would be a slander
on your intelligence for THE STAR to savy
that you would answer in favor of the
first.
