" ' . ' FRAWKtrtN'?TWtES 1 F. JOHNSON, Editor and Manager V?? sir J5 V\.S S..-.? > JO HUB* MONTHS. - .S6 ?7 .?~t Friday, February 17, 1911. . i ? ?The lumber trust is trying to make the farmers believe that they don't w|nt oheaper lumber, and therefore they most help defeat reciprocity. i' Senator Lodge sees danger to the government if the people elect United States Senators, but we fancy that most of the danger will be to Lodge and such as he, The National City Bank (Rockefeller) holds more than one-halt ot the surplus reserve of the clearing house banks of New York. Why are the Rockefeller interests piling up all this cash ? Nathan Montague, the negio murderer of Granville county, was electrocuted on Wednesday morning in the penitentiary at Raleigh. He made full confession of the crime before he was executed. The rice combine, with bead, quarters at Beaumont, Texas, has raised the price of rice 15 centa per 100 pounds. Why does not the Farmers Union boast the price of other oerials that are sagging ? The Postmaster-General is preparing tor the Democratic investigation of the postoffice depaitment and is stirring np the Kailwav Mai) Service so as to escape the censors k, that sotnebody will have tp suffer from. Indications now point towards Gqvernor Kitchen's ordering a special term ot Wilson court to trj Lewis West, the negro outlaw whc killed Deputy Humford and wounded officer Glover at W ilson a few days ago. Crwde rubber is advancing in price again, having gone up ten cents a pound in London. The cause of thefjse is said to be speculation, but the demand in the United States is light and th^, price is about (1.25 per pound. Thb insurgent Republicans of th? 8enate, except Bevendge, are opposing the reciprocity- treaty, claiming that "it helps the trusts." What trust does it h?lp? It hurts the lumber trust and .the fish trust and some others. i i The President :is said to be worrying about the l$ck of organization in Ohio, and Senator Diok ie sugtfafllafl q? isoho# tk?,*v ??'1 0 ?. i uav wuuiu 111deed be a rare piece of lack for the Democrat*; for wjth Dick and Fora ker leading the; Repablioana, the Democrats would bare a walk-away The high-protectionist "old guard' in the Senate, who are compelled by their political necessities to follow Taft, find hia free trade reciprocity a hard bill to simllow; but they are taking great cordfort in the fact that the insurgents {find it more disagreeable still. Evidently "no brand " of Republicans 'really desiies tariff reform. g I 7" The Democrats of the House of Representatives have agre^te'tflrttcus to, support the Canadpn reciprocity bill. In the hearings bcjigre the Ways and Means CosemRtee, it appeared that the papdr eonsbuae baa advanced the price tff" paper - in spite of the faot that the tdriff "rate waa reduced. This is good dvidence that a secret coiebino still exists. In Adams bounty, Otio, they t call it "bribet*;" in Vermillion County, Illinois, ahey oall it "hiring workp a," and in Atlantic City, Mew not/ > to deaesfts each species of ' - " 'jfm A ?mi..m. of the Tu.'? bftQd# the following: 4 used to love the land Of the long leaf pine, i | Where we alt loved near-beer ISfearty all the time. But the durned legislature Has now put the gag-on. And all of ua are bound to .mount The cussed water wagon. Tub Indiana stalwart Republicans I are advancing the spider and the Hy argument to Senator Heveridge. They are very anxious that he should walk "into their parlor so aa to "bari monixe the party." If Senator Bev; eridge is simple enough to follow , their advice, all that will be left of I him politically will be the debris : that the stalwart spiders have no I use for, i We are a sweet nation. We ?otlsume more sugar in a year than any I other nation- undoeAlle sun. Therefore is it gratifying that our nation is producing more beet sugar every I year. For the year ending Jnne ! 30, the production of beet sugar in the United States was 1,025,000,000 pounds. The manufacturing of beet sugar is a comparatively new industry, but we will soon be able to raise our own supplyThat moribund old organization, the Grange, which is in the hands of political farmers who have been long hoping that they will be taken I up by the Republican leaders as M -LaiLia. i n. _ _ _ tauuiuubce lur nigu piaeoa, nu come to the conclusion that the farmers will suffer from Canadian reciprocity. But the old oligarchy of the National Grange is losing its hold, J and has already lost control of the management of the state granges of . I the greater states and its hold of ; other states is of the "rotten borI eugh" order. '! THE PROPOSED TARIFF BOARD | A Tariff Board, according to the , Taft idea, will be an extensive one , j and costly. The tariff board now . | in existence under the provision of J the Payne-Aldnch tariff law is ask! ing for $403,000 and baa already exj pended $230,000 without making ! any result of sufficient consequence to be made public. What the new ! board ?if Congress passes the bill ' creating it?will cost is uncertain; ' but it will be vastly more than the 1 present Board, for it will have more extensive power, wnh five members instead of three with larger salaiies, i and experts and clerks of unknown - number. Tbe proposed tariff board will be permanent, and it will also I be permanently partisan, for the i bill provides that two of the five I members Bhall be appointed by ths minoriiy party. There will, therefore, be a claah of opinion and pro bablyiwb reports whenever Congress, II call upon it for information. ! I m. a sSfci i tan Biaiwui ana insurgent, Re. publicans ooth believe in the Mis? ! of protection, and naturally the ufa, jority members of the tariff -board i will color all their reports by* what , they discover from that point of vieiF The Democratic members , will report what they disucrijpijad from the more enlightened Tie*, of a tariff for revenue. Suppoifttftte Republican majority of the Senate finance committee calls on the chairman of lite tariff board for evidence or the difference in the coat of production hdre and fcbroad^ and be in I tain ^ill call npof factions of the tariff board for their report; there will be a great flustering among the majority members and they will bave-Vtadmit that it will require more time toibe able to fur> ai*h anch information. The minor 1) metubere of the board, if they ' ara reel Democrats and tariff-reform ' expert? will a* once reply that they " have made ao effort to obtain' the unobtainable]1 beethit they are prepared to report evidence and etatietioe to ehow that A great number of antrtyr highlyjyofccted?aim eold cheaper abroad thad here. What will the chairman of the ; tariff board do with those reports? will be send them to the finance eeie atfcils (MlftMQiCfcl 4'-.. \ FT. ?*' Vt > revenue, so the conflicting evidence before the Senate will prevent agree. ment aa a partisan neoeaaity, for thxT mu#^ bo *Q 1Mue Uie presi dentul uampaigfjeo^ U&MHl the Democratic ?OntMitifcl may lieu true one, It would be *^?W? t? |^e ft?publican party to a^fflit end pass It bill to give relief from tariff extortion. If ('resident Taft ibould appoint such DemooraUc members of tbe tariff board aa would fall tuto line with the Kepublioau members of the board and work op the Republican proposition of frying to diaeover the difference in the cost of production hers and abroad, more time and more money would be wasted. The Democratic ways and means cotuj mittee would ignore what both tbe i Republican and Democratic niem; liyrs of the board would eventually ! report as worthless, because not based on reliable facts. Under such circumstances the tariff boayd will be worthless and will be merely a drag on tariff reform instead of an aid to Congress to agree on what changes in the law are desirable. That is why Senator Lodge has amended the bill so that the members of the board appointed by the President must be confirmed by the Senate. It is hardlj neoessary to Bay that those appointed trill I rave to conform to the political notions of the Senate, standpat and other-, 'trine. ! ^ ***" * ' HANDSALE.
