THE ROANOKE NEWS, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 31. 1891. THE ROANOKE NEWS TlIKllSIXVV IMVF. M 'VA -'A. 1SH tii si ni:v y:;ah. To-morrow marks another mile pout in the passage of time. T.i-nitrht the old year Jics ami the now v:ir is hum How many clicr'siied hopes ! ivo been crushed, how Ti-uny h'v.ns made s-id i-inee ihi pas- hdu; year was you The ..r th. year is a time i'r reflection, n't'olttiii of time iiiispetit, of oppoitunitics neglect ed in:c for vain ri cvt sit pact imprint eneo and mismanagement but that we may in the future pr ifit by the experience of l)p past. We t tiink ou the flt-cting nature of lit't and enj lyment, ami how ihe. Tears roll steadily ou to eternity. We knew t li t t. ere many years have clap-nd our j and soivw, our hopes aud forebodings, wiil all, tuctlcr with ourselves, have beeome things of tht! pa-t. We know that whatever we linv doue for nod or eil umst remain nsitis, its ever widening circle: of influence increating our respon sibility and our reward or punishment. We kuow that the record of our lives is niada up and that our thoughts and acts arc to (stand as witnesses for us or a.gaiuat ua Such is the dark side of the picture, but it has al.o its sunny side, its silver lining. "For Hope shall brighten days to come And memory gild the past." So then let us take a cheerful view of tbiogs. The future is before us an un paintej canvas. Tt is God's and ours to trace the lights and shades. Lil'u ii not a path strewn with roses. Let us, there fore, be prepared to bear patiently ilk triatCt and mi-iortuiifs. Lt ua be eou s iled by the conviction that there is One above us v;ho rules a!! and without whole wiil nothing happens; and let us resolve to be better this year than we wers last. To resolve is aomuthing it is an acknowl edgement uf our need to be better, and that is the first step toward amendment. The year which close to-day has been one of misfortune: to our people in many inspects. The crops have baen poor and prices low, and consequently them ha been almost stagnation in every branch of trade ! r . J . I aud business. Truly the prosperity of a country depends upm the prosperity of the agricultural element. Every indus try aud every business and trade is pros perous or depressed as the crops are good or bad. Not even in lsSI), the wor.t crop year probabiy ever known in this section of country, was thwre greater de- j pressiou than now exists. The only dif. j lu'ciieo is that there are nioro provisions in ' the barns and smokehouses than in ISS'J. i The crops are larger now, it is true, but markets are not as active and prices are lower. But for the good crop of last; tear theiewoiild have been far greater di tr 's. I'ut we have at least tint, good crop to be thankful for. I Although money is scarce and tim s , .. . , . ' . . J . , 1 industry, profession and enterprise 111 the ara hard in this section ot country vet i 1 cotton growing Nates, there is no cause for ulat m. Our peoiila I r, , , , , . . r 1 i 1 he manutaeturois have had (heir in-s-tood well the dieters ,,! ISSil and will j uiiKS l,iii4 un..uK1i, nowht Congr.ss give be better able to stand the stringency I the farmers a chance at the bai. which must result frmi the short crops; and low prices of this year. In ISS'J our people met tlos future bravely. They never gae up hope, but fought against poverty and want aud , fought successfully. They huctwded be-! ynnd the most Manguine hopes. Let ii j then renew the struggle in the coining' year without d.-sp-.n l- ney, but with a j lively faith in our ability to suecoed by : hard work and self denial, industry and j economy. And above all b-t us persiiient- . , J .i i i . i i ! ly loot ou the bright side and ceas; con - plaining and croakiwr. It is worse than I useless to brood over past ruisfortuous. I Let hope spring eternal in our breastn, j for it has been promised us that "'while the earth rcmainetu seed tirue and harvisi shall not fail." Oil, What a Cough.

" Sold by W. M. Cohen. It seems to bti admitted that the i dic tion of .Mr. Crisp to the Speakership, and his ai ranneincnt of the c mmiltee of Ways and Meant indicates that there will be no sweeping changes of l he tarifi'laws at thii session of Congress. It is argued that to construct a general tariff bill, i-ml-rac-itig every feature and article of tarifi lax atiou Would require months of work by tbu committee aud mouths more of argu ment and debate aud afu r such a bill had been lepoited, and finally alter it should pass the House it Would be killed or pigeon-holed in the Senate and the country have no relief. It is alleged that Speaker Cibp believes that tin ro should be no general taiiffleg islalioti at this session of Congress, but that desirable changes in the existing laws should be made by separate bills, in this way dealing with Mich parls id' the laws as. are most oppressive. For instance a bill could be passed by the House put ting' cotton lies on the free list, anoihcr reducing the tariff on woolen goods, and so on until the Mi Kinley tarill bill has beeu imide more in accord with the wish es of the people. Such a course would result in more practical g"id than a gen eral bill, and it is argued that these sepa rate bills would receive more support from Republican Senators than would a gen eral bill. Hut whether it would or not, the Ih'Umcrats could make a record upou which they could successfully appeal to ihe people in the election next year, and could appeal to them in a way more easi ly understood than by a complicated bill such as would be necestary .should an at tempt be made to revise the entire tariff laws. We sincerely hope that whatever plan may be adopted by ihe Democratic House, it will contain a proposition to put ou tho free !i-t all goods manufactured by cotton. The National Alliance has wisely request ed that this be done. With the present prices of cotton its production means ruin ami yet its cultivation seems to be almost a necessity. Any action, therefore, which will raise the price of this crop must uce essarily be beneficial to a large portion of the people of this country. Should goods manufactured of cotton be put ou the free list the prices would be lowered and the consuaiiitioti creator in conscmience. . , ,. ,. . , A greater consumption of manufactured cotton goods would keep the mills going and create a "icaii r demand for raw cot ion and the demand for it would im-rease the price ti a siieli a point as vt uld at least pay the farmers the cost of cultiva tion, if not a small profit ou the cost. It seems to uslhat the same Ingical rxsulis w mid follow the reduction or re peal of the tariff on other articles of ev cry day use and necessity, but we speak of cotton particularly because there is probably no oilier arliele affect id by tin tariff which coiieerns so many people.
