NEW MARKETS FOB AMERICAN
PRODUCTS.
When- Mr. . Blaiutr implored the
framers of the McKtnley tariff bill
to incorporate his reciprocity feature
into it, his purpose was to open up
new markets for Auif ricin products
by offciing inducements to other
countries to purchase American pro
ducts. The fact that Mr. Blaine did
this and contended so stoutly for it
showed that he appreciated - the
necessity for new markets much -more
than the framers of that bill did, al
though the method he proposed was
but a short step in that direction, and
had but little effect in neutralizing
the handicapping results of the Mc
Kinley tariff.

spicuous part in closing the ports of
countries which were large purchases
of American foodstuffs, and the re
sult has been an agricultural depres
sion in this country, until the calling
of the farmer, which should be one
of the best, has become one in which
there is little encouragement, and
but little prospect of. profit. Some
f aimers make money, but they are
those who devpte themselves to the
cultivation of specialties, or pursue
methods that put the cost of produc
tion down to a very low figure.
The farmers of this country raise,
under normal conditions, enough in
two years to supply the needs of
home consumers for three years,
which means a surplus of every third
year's crop. There can never be real
prosperity while there is a large sur
plus on hand, for a large surplus
means low prices, unless there be an
extraordinary foreign demand to
clean the surplus up. The buyer in
this and in other countries takes ad
vantage of a surplns to cut prices,
and the farmer, who is. generally in
need-of money, must take the conse
quences, for the necessities of most
of them compel them to sell whether
the prices offered be remunerative or
not.
When this country produces ordi
narily one-third more than it can
consume then there are but two ways
to prevent a glut." One is to reduce
production to limits within the de
mand, me otner is to hnd new
markets that may take the surplus,
or more, and thus prevent the . glut,
The first of these is not altogether
practicable because it requires the
concerted action of too many people,
even it they could all be pursuaded
to see it in that light, and even with
concert of action it might not always
prove effective, because with favor
ing seasons a reduced acreage might
yield a larger product than a larger
acreage under less favoring condi
tions. Reducion of production might
be practicable in some years in a limi
ted territory, raising crops peculiar to
to it, but it can never become general,
or be-systematically carried, out in a
country as Large as the United States,
But the second is practicable, and
can be carried out without any con
cert of action between large numbers
of men, whom it would be necessary
td persuade without any assurance
that they would follow up any plan
agreed upon and carry it out in good
faith after being persuaded.
There is but one new market
-within the reach of- the American
producer, but it is a magnificent one
'of unbounded possibilities. It is to
be found among the 800,000,000 of
.people who live between and on both
sides of the Pacific Ocean. This
would be to all intents and purposes
a new market, for we have with these
countries comparatively little trade
now. We buy from them much more
than they buy from us, not be
cause tney do not want to
buy from us but because there
is ar barrier in the way which
makes direct and cheap transporta
tion impossible. If this were re
moved and the way opened for quick
and cheap transportation between
this country and those there would
be a demand for American farm pro
ducts that would not only take the
surplus uui immensely more.
In a letter recently addressed to
. Senator Morgan, published in last
week's Manufacturers' Record, by
ex-Governor Hubbard, of Texas, who
during Mr. Cleveland's first adminis
tration was Minister to Japan, he di
lates on the possibilities of the
growth of American trade with the
countries of the Orient when the
Nicaragua Canal is constructed and I ing this would be the correct posi
opens a short route between our I tion, but this is an exceptional case,
ports and theirs. He had frequent
interviews with the representa
tives of the Japanese Govern
ment, and with the Chinese Min
ister to Japan, and 'represents the
interest which they then took in
the project so keen that they gave
him assurances that if this Govern
ment would guarantee'the interest on
the bonds issued to construct it cap
italists in those countries would take
$100,000,000, -or $500,000,000,' if
necessary, so anxious were they
tr onen ud direct trade withl
I ,
this country and escape the
commercial thraldom to which
they were subjected by England, and
they also assured him that within one
year alter the completion of the
canal they would take 3,000,000
baits of American cotton and pay
for it one and three-quarter cents a
pound more than English buyers pay
for it.
As a result of his investigations
and conferences with these represen
tative Japanese and Chinese, he be
lieves that with this canal open in
stead of 7,000,000 or 8,000,000 bales
being the limit of remunerative pro
duction the South could profitably
raise, as trade increased with these
countries, 20,000,000 bales, while they
would afford a market. also for other
Southern products and immense
quantities of Western grain and
meat, which would be shipped by the
way of Southern ports.
The more we study this question
and us possibilities, the more con
vinced we are that the policy of
American statesmanship should be
to' look to the East and get there
through the Nicaragua Canal.

HI90S MENTION.
It would be a very easy matter to
bring charges enough against Eu
gene V. Debs and his associates, now
in jail, to send them to prison for
the remainder of their days, or per
haps .to the gallows, if they were
pushed and sustained, for there is
not a railroad which crosses State
lines, .which was interfered with,
which could not become a prosecutor
on complaint of its own, as the At
chison, Topeka and Santa Fe road,
which is in the hands of a United
States receiver, has done. But this;
should not be. There should be no
disposition shown to persecute these
men, now that they1 have fallen into
the hands of the law, and the Gov
ernment should not permit itself to
be put in the attitude of even indi
rectly being a party to that, and
making heroes out of Debs and
his associates, while it con
victs them as-criminals. It has de
monstrated its ability to maintain the
law, and now all that is necessary is
to convince law-defiers that they can
not defy it with impunity, which can
be done in this case, if there be con
viction, by a moderate penalty r.s
well as by one that might wear the
appearance of cruelty or persecution
There will be no difficulty in convict
ing Debs and his council of contempt
of court, of open defiance of the au
thority of the U. S. Government, and
of complicity with the mob, which
was destroying life j and property,
The first two can be established by
overt acts and the last by orders
issued to the strikers in the stock
yards by Debs. When dead cattle
began to accumulate in the Chicago
stock yards, imperilling the public
health.Mayor Hopkins requested Mr.
Debs to permit their removal, where
upon he issued the following:
To the Panhandle Yardmen, Greeting;
"Please execute the orders of Mr. J no.
Brenock in reference to the removal of
dead stock from the stock yards to B.
Globe Station. This is issued by order
oi tne Board oi Directors in the interest
of Public Health.
"Eugene V. Debs, President."
This order was obeyed, and this,
the original of which is in possession
of the U. S. District Attorney, will
be used as evidence to show the con
nection between the head center and
the rioters, who recognized its au
thority and obeyed its orders. There
is enough to make an example out
of Debs and- his counsel without
making heroes out of them by going
to extremes. i
senator Hansbrough, . of North
Dakota, succeeded, Tuesday, in get
ting his amendment to the Agricul
tural Appropriation bill adopted,
appropriating $1,000,000, or as much
of it as might be necessary, to aid in
extirpating the Russian thistle.
4 .
miiiv.ii uoa loncii possession Ot a
large extent of territory . in the
Northwest, is spreading there, and
is rapidly spreading Eastward and
Southward. The vote was some-
wnat remarkable. Every vote for
14. -.1 . - - -
I, wnu me exception ot tour, was a
Republican vote, and every vote
against it a Democratic vote, and
yet it was not a party question. It
was carried by the votes of the tour
democrats who voted for it. The
Democratic opposition was on the
ground that extirpating weeds was
no part of the business of the Gov-
ernment, and that this should be
I done by the States and the people
I directly interested. Literally sneak-
and this thistle which has already
gotten such a start that it is in pos
session of thirty-five thousand square
miles, is threatening the public wel-.
fare and becoming a menace to the
farms of the country. It is length
ening the radius of the circle it holds
several miles a year, and has shown
its presence in localities as far east
as Wisconsin and as far south as
Nebraska. It is an exceedingly
difficult pests to cope with, is very
tenacious of life, a prolific seed
bearer, and scatters its seed far and
wide. It has destroyed millions of
acres of farming lands in Russia, and
unless heroic measures be adopted
to suppress it it is feared it will do
the same in this country. But this
does not account for the large Re
publican vote Senator Hansbrough's
amendment received. There was
politics in that, for the people of the
thistle States are pretty solidly in fa
vor of the appropriation. But it will
probably be killed in the House.
The first strike on record occurred
in Rome 300 years B. C. It was a
strike of the flute players who got
miffed because they were refused
permission to participate in a ban
quet in Jupiter's temple. They
struck and the Romans couldn't get
any wind for their religious celebra
tions which were in progress about
that time. That was a bad state of
affairs, but the flute players who had
gone to the village of Tibur were
bamboozled into filling up on wine,
and . when good boozy were
huddled into carts and wheeled back
to Rome, where they compromised
with them and gave them permission
to participate in the banquets on
condition that they would play at the
sacrifices. So the first strike turned
out better than most strikes do now.
In the contingency that the labor
question be a looming issue in the
next Presidential campaign, the Phil
adelphia Times suggests for Presi
dent Cushman K. Davis, of Minne
sota for Vice President. John B.
Gordon, - of Georgia, as an ideal
ticket. But there is no probability,
while the labor question will bef a
factor, that it will, be such a looming
one as to suggest the nomination of
Presidential 'candidates on that issue.
The present indications point to
one of the biggest corn crops ever
raised in the West. The manager of
the Rock Island Road, which runs
through Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska,
says, if nothing happens more corn
will be raised along his lines than
they can haul in two years. The
pro6able yield in Kansas is put
at 275,000,000 bushels, 40,000,000
bushels more than the extraordinary
crop of 1888.
The new cruiser Minneapolis, built
by the Cramps, is pronounced the

daisy, an opinion in which the
Cramps doubtless agree.
Senator Davis, of Minnesota, is
looming up as a possible Republican

In that telegram he showed that he

DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES,
Besult of tne Election Held Yesterday for
Delegate to the County Convention
to Assemble in Wilmington Next Batur-
dy.: - : , " .
The Democratic primary elections yes
terday absorbed the attention of nearly
everybody in the city. Great interest was
manifested by the supporters of the two
tickets in the field for delegates to the
county convention, which meets Satur
day, and the excitement at times reached
a high pitch. But everything passed off
pleasantly.
The most remarkable result, probably,
ever known here, is that in the Fifth
Ward, which is entitled to 21 delegates.
Of these the Reform Democrats elected
13, their vote ranging from 201 to 199;
the Regular Democrats elected 6. their
vote ranging from 200 to 199, and 14 dele
gates tied on a vote of 198. So, only 19
delegates are elected, and the question
arises, what is to be done about the other
2 delegates in order to give the Ward its
full representation of 21 delegates.
Presumably, this question will have to
be settled by the County Convention, if
an agreement cannot be reached by the
Ward delegation.

D. W. Fuller, of Canaioharie, N. Y
says that he always keeps Dr. King's
New Discovery in the house and his
family has always found the very best
results to follow its use: that he would
not be without if procurable. G. A. Dyke-
man, Druggist, Catskill, says that Dr.
King's New Discovery is undoubtedly
the best uougn remedy; that he has used
it in bis family for eight years, and it has
never failed to do all that is claimed for
it. Why not try a remedy so long tried
and tested. Trial bottles at R. R. Bel

Star Correspondence.
BURG AW, July 14.
Editor Star : The Democratic pri
mary of Burgaw township was held here
to-day. There was 'quite a good crowq
of Democrats. . interspersed with a few
Populists and a few of those who are on
the fence; the two latter no doubt ex
pecting to hear the Populists vilhfied
and ridiculed. But there was no dis
turbing element upon the placid waters
of the political sea, ana everything
passed off quietly. The following gen
tlemen were chosen delegates to the
County Convention which assembles
here on the 21st inst.: J. T. Bland, J.
G. Stokes. W. D. Croom, W. T. Bor
deaux and G. F. Jordan.
There is very little said with regard to
candidates for the different offices. Mr.
Bruce Williams and Gibson James, Esq.,
are most prominently spoken of tor the
Legislature. Both of these gentlemen
would make good representatives and
would carry the strength of the Demo
cratic party. A.
UiiiON Township,
July 14th.
The convention was called to order
by Mr. I. Carroll,! chairman. The dele
gates were elected by acclamation. After
much interest being manifested for the
Democratic cause, Dr. K. J. Powers
spoke in behalf of Mr. John D. Bellamy,
Jr., having once so ably represented our
district in the Senate of North Carolina,
that he justly deserved our support at
Lumberton, as a citizen of our mother
county, which we hope always to remem
ber while we know no one more fitted to
fill the position as Congressman of this
district. r.
BOILER, EXPLOSION
i
At the Eacleson-Parmsle Lumber Assooia-
i
tion Mills Three Men Killed and One
Man Fatally Injured. -
A boiler explosion occurred last Sat
urday : night between twelve and one
o'clock, at the steam saw mills of the Ec-
cleson & Parmajle Lumber Association,
Jacksonville.N.C.Three employes Tony
McCann, Sherman Edwards and Ned
Johnson, colored, were instantly killed.
and Gus Daniels, colored, another em-
ploye, was so badly scalded by escaping
steam that he died yesterday. Tony
McCann was the fireman, and the others
mentioned were his assistants. The
boiler, weighing six tons, was found
after the explosion about one thousand
feet from tne mill. The other boilers.
three id number, were intact, but the
four smokestacks were completely
wrecked, and ijt will take six weeks to
repair the damage to the mill. A pine
tree, two feet in diameter, was cut
down by the explosion. McCann and
two of the others killed, were from Wil
mington. Thel engineer of the mill was
not present when the accident occurred.
CONDITION OF BUSINESSt
T$0
Material Change on Account of the
Disturbances in the West.
The annexeo extract from the Phila
delphia JSecordls review of trade for the
past week is interesting:
Any recovery in general business dur
ing the last Week has been prevented
by tVi? distrust and hesitancy necessa
rily inseparable from the disturbed con
ditions caused by the great labor strikes
in the West. The physical obstructions
to trade have been less serious, as with
the suppression of mob violence the
railroad companies have made consider-
aole progress in the restoration of nor
mal facilities for transportation. The
actual interruption of the freight move'
t
ment and the temporary check to ship
ments caused by the withholding of
orders in fear jof delays of losses, have
combined to seduce the volume of new
business not J only in the localities
affected by te strike, but throughout
the country. U he trouble is now prac
tically over, although the effects of the
losses entailed by the destruction of
property and Iby the stoppage of the
earnings of the railroad companies and
their employes are certain to be felt for
some time to dome. Other features of
the business situation show little change.
Crop conditions, as a rule, are encourag
ing, particularly for cotton and Winter
wheat. The Stock Exchange markets
have been much better suppbrted than
might have beep expected in view cf the
strikes and thei comparative apathy of
speculation. Very little gold has been
exported, and (the outflow is not ex
pected to be renewed now that the labor
difficulties have (been practically settled,
Merchandise exports have continued
moderate, and frbm New York alone for
two weeks hays been $1,252,828 less
than they were during the correspond'
ing period last! year; while imports,
pending final legislation on the Tariff
continue to showa comparative decrease
of about 40 per c$nt.

moderate supply, but the feeling weaker

A STRONG TESTIMONIAL.
What a Leading Educator Thinks of the
Ameriean Encyclopaedic Dictionary.
The high standing of Capt. Washing'
ton Catlett, Principal of the Cape Fear
Academy, both as a scholar and an edu
cator. gives a real value to the annexed
testimonial:
Wilmington,' April 11. 1894.
Mr. W. H. Bernard:
Dear 2ir: l have examined very
carefully the 1st Part of the American
Encyclopaedic Dictionary. 1 am really
surprised at the excellence of the work,
both for its intrinsic merit and its price
I have made a parallel comparison with
Webster's Unabridged; and with the
Century, published also in parts, costing
me p.50 per volume; or. complete, 60,
1 hnd the American fencvclopsedic
Dictionary superior in .many respects to
Webster s unabridged, and lor genera
purposes equal to the Century.
The type is distinct and full, the illus
trations numerous, the derivation of
words scholarly and accurate, the defini
tions exceedingly complete and verified
by many extracts from leading modern
authors, the encyclopaedic information
very lull, the diacritical marks plain,
with prominent equivalents at bottom of
each page.
1 unhesitatingly endorse the First Part
of this Dictionary as meetingthe require
ments Of the scholar and filling the wants
of the general reader and man of busi
ness needing general information in
compact and reliable presentation. No
one need fear that his money will be
misspent, who invests in this work.
Yours truly,
Washington Catlett
