Over S2uo.iiiiO.oiMi is expended every year by our wives and daughter for millinery manufactured in this country, besides the millions fur what is imported. The tariff tax on such articles of tidornnient Increases the price of milli nery more than .".! per cent on the average, for the manufacturers an protected ly the tariff tax which, is collected o'l imported mi'Iinery, so that they can add t. t!:e price of the home product alMi"t wliat the imported ar 'cli's have in pay at til.' custom house.

The proti'ctio:;i-ts tell us that we luu.-t lie williu, to pay this import duty to protect our manufacturers from forcij;n competition and to pro tect American labor in beitu paid liiL'li- r waes than the foivimi laborer jrots. The I'emocrats claim that to reduce the tariff to a reasonable rate would till five the American laborer all the i'lvfectiou he needs, while til the same time producing enoudi revenue from customs duties to run the government. I"nder siicli a Itemoeratic system the trusts and combines that control ;o many articles of necessity would have o reduce ti." price they chai -:e and the present hiuh cost of living would be j; really reduced.

The following States arc mw aiding in the construction and maintenance of their ptthlic highways: Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massa chusetts, lihode Island, Conneticur, New York,' New Jersey, Pennsyl vania, Maryland, Virginia, Illinois, Michigan, Iowa, Colorado. Utah, California, Washington. Virginia and Maryland, are the only two Southern States that are aiding their counties and towns in the constrtte- . The Ideal Condition For Southern j Planters and Farmers. ' There Is no crop rais in the south ' rru states that Is protected by the tar . ff from foreign competition except a j little sugar ami rice. There Is a tariff I tax on tobacco, hut it does not protect 1 the grower, for, like wheat mid coru, Hie price is fixed by the export de luniul, there being a surplus raised of , nil those products which must be sold ; In the markets of the world lu eompe ' titiou with other countries which also raise a surplus. The price of these 1 products for home consumption Is, therefore, largely fixed by what the surplus exported will bring. Cotton, the money crop of the south, is on the ' free list, and there is absolute free trade in that staple. Hut everything the southern planter buys is protected by the tariff and is taxed from St t 175 per cent, which prevents most people from buying the imported goods on account of this tariff tax being added t the price the im ported go-iils co t abroad. The trusts and combines that inaafactiire similar goods here take advantage of their tar iff taxation and add to the prolits they charge for their pr idiiets nearly what the It riff t.ix would be on the imported articles over and above what would bfl a fair pfolit. S the American consum er, be he planter or whoever he is. Is compelled t i pay the trusts and corpo rations prer.y nearly the same fax that would be paid on the imported goods, the difference being that Instead of the government ironing the tax the trusts and corporations collect it in increased profit. As s-v.ne of the border southern states elected Kejiubli.-ans to represent them in congress, t':c voters must have been led 1 1 believe that the protective tariff was :n advantage to them and that trust high prii es were a Massing la dhg'tiso. Hut with wheat, corn, tobac co ami cattle all protected by the tariff and yet selling at a low price, while cotton, entirely unprotected, is selling at a fairly good price, the Ilepuhlican argument that the tariff protects the planter and f.tr.aer is shown to ho but campaign talk an 1 not borne out by actual conditions. The Ideal condition for the planter ,:;id farmer Is to have the unobsti-!" !.-.: right to .-;!! In the dearest market and bey in the cheap est market. That can only lie brought about by the h emoeratie plan of a tar iff for revenue onlv to produce enough government when inomically adminis- FURNITURE FACTORY CLOSES. imutttrtrlio- ofCnpltal Cannrs the Und ue to ( lose Doh ti, The Brown Furniture Factory, the only industry of its kind in Salisbury, closed down last night and will not resume immediate operation.

The Geological Survey of North Carolina is attempting on a small scale, on account of its very limited appropriation for this purpose, to stive assistance ir. regard to the lo cation of roads and the methods of construction of same in the various counties. This work is one of the most important that can be done in North Carolina and $100,000 au nually could be spent most advan tageously by the State in co-operut- i ing with the various counties iu the ! construction of public roads. X. I Senntnrlnl Corruption. Ominous stories are said by a New York newspaper to tie n float In the senate, that a cliipie of big senators, wbo will know what the final vote on the railroad rate bill will be, are to Lave "a good thing" iu the stock mar- i ket. It can be done in n very effective way by enough Republicans standing together either against or for the pro posed legislation. If this is true, these Republican senator will find they are playing with fire, for the voters are in no mood to be trifled with. To make sure of a square deal in the future the greatest care must lie exercised In electing members of the state legisla tures In those states where senators are to be elected; by voting for tried and true Democrats, who are pledged to vote for a candidate for senator who Is not a stock gambler or In league with corrupt corporations and whose character makes It certain that such combinations will be Impossible If the voters elect a Democratic majority.

There are 245 brigadier generals on the retired list, and the number is rap idly Increasing, for sixty-two more -were made by favor of the president and the senate from Jan. 1, 1002, to Jan. 1, 1905. The retired officers of the army draw annually $3,000 each, or a total of $2,700,000. Representative Prince declared in congress that "these gentlemen have one band on the flag -and the other In the treasury." AH of which shows how easy It Is to be free when spending other people's money.

Kniixtin ltoi.li I'lnylim 1'oimiiiii I'ntll Kxcilciiit'iit SuliNiileM. The railroad rate on oil from Kansas points t eastern p lints was arbitrarily raised by the iratlie managers of dif ferent railroads at Sr. Louis In June, lOol, from in cents t 17 cents a hun dred pounds, and yet !ie railroad at torneys dc'Lr' that rates have not been appreciably Increased. This was brouuht out at the bearings before the interstate commerce commission nt Kansas t'ity a sh rt time ago, and evi dence was also given by the general freight agent of the Atchison. Topeka and Santa IV railroad that Mr. r.o gardus. traffic manager of the Stand ard oil company, was at the mooting of the t re file managers that raised the rate. Mr. Knouts, the railroad agent, also testiliiil In reply to the ipiestion, "Why has there been no assault by the railroads upon the Kansas rate?" by replying that : "Largely in deference to public senti ment the officials of the Santa Fe nnd, 1 think, of other Kansas roads, think that the Kansas rates would have been contested long before this, hut In view of the agitation and inflamed condition of the public mind the policy of the railroads has been to submit quietly to the unreasonable rates forced upoi them by the legislature of Kansas,." "There has, has there not," nskod Mr. Morrow, "been a great deal of agita tion, both in the press, nt political meet ings and in one way and another?" "Yes, and because of tills the railroads decided to submit for the present." So the railroads are playing possnm nnd waiting for the barking dogs to depart before resuming their unreason able rates. 'Hie Democratic plan of regulating rates by law Is therefore the only pertinent relief, nnd voters must continue to agitate until that Is accomplished.

Ship Snlmlily and Labor, Among the witnesses before the committee of the house on merchant marine and fisheries were several who claimed to be members of organized labor. These witnesses were evidently brought forward, and probably paid to appear, by those Interests who are try ing to get a favorable report from the committee on the ship subsidy bill, for they gave evidence In favor of the measure. But now comes President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor nnd declares that these "wit nesses did not represent any labor or ganization." He opposed the bill, as It required American labor to be con scripted Into the navy In order to get employment. ...ii.g i'i!. rt Suir lav April loth X ;. c'liiiigcil as follows and will be c cr ilooiiglt toCliailoilcand IhillieiTnrittoii ,ic w ilnuiigtoii 1: .ill A At connecting 'Minrokc well I In- Atlantic I o:it ha- tin h ami .1 1 Maxlon lo, i.Vtl Nm ings am Mi lllc, at llamlct ui:li 1 1 ii i ii Nn.
