The reduction prior to the European war was from seven cents to four or five cens a pound for sugar. Owing to conditions brought on by the war, sugar averages some' thing like nine cents a pound. The high tariff creates a condition res embling the conditions caused by the European war. The United States does not produce one-third as much sugar as Germany and when our sup ply of sugar ni a large measure is cut off, the price goes up A TURNING FOR THE BETTER While the war continues imports will be small but exports muet increase by leaps and bounds. The Fourth Estate says: "A very marked boom throughout the United States, except possibly parts of the South, will soon be generally felt. The tide seemed to turn last week, but the official figures of exports given out last Saturday show definitely that the tide has turned. , Ihis journal points out that a neu tral country like the United States "which is also the greatest producer of the agricultural and manufacturing necessities of life, gains in time of ,the stimulation of industry and the demand for the food that can no longer be produced in countries rav aged by war." During September there were ex ported only 60,000 bales, as against 672,000 bales last year. But week be fore last exports reached 65,800 bales, compared with 29,400 the week be fore. it is noted that export to France were about the same the week before last as in 1913, those to Germany de creased $6,800,000 and those to Great bntain increased 9,000,000. Among recent orders placed in America was one for nearly a million blankets for soldiers fighting in France. While France has ordered a million woolen blankets, Germany has placed orders for cotton blankets with our Southern mills for the German army. The claim is made that cotton blank ets can be cleaned more easily and are more sanitary than woolen blank ets, besides being much cheaper and more durable. It is claimed that as many orders have been placed with the Southern cotton mills, that within thirty (lavs most of the mills will be running with two shifts of hands. There is a rush of orders and heavy shirt inn-a oming in demand to clothe the ami es cf Europe. THE WAR TAX A good Republican wrote the c itor ot tms paper a few days ago and ask ed what lie thought of the war tax on beer, whitkov. anil n few .,,.t,4..io in time of peace. Our answer was that when the greatest war of the ;ges broke out more than tv mnntVw ago, it not only closed business in all Europe but the marts of trade were closed throughout the world, the white sails of commerce no longer float the flag of industry and peace and prosperity, the banks and busi ness houses not only in Europe, but in South American countries have closed their doors and business in Eurotic, Asia and Africa and in South America are at a standstill. When the United States had a little Krush w;th Spain that did not last 6 months, a larger and heavier war tax stamping almost everything you could lay your hand on and kept the tax in force for three years, and that too when there was not a mart of the worlds commerce closed and when there was not a ship put in port be cause of the little brush we had with Spain over the Cuban situation. Put this to your Republican friend when you hear him belching about a war tax in time of peace. It was the Rcpu'oluan paity that put a war. tariff 011 whf:i v.-e had no war hut a mcc tilt, a breakfast spell with a third class nation, so mal! an affair was it it nt-reii in nj way wi' emn'i v, vet n si of pcd to 111 and jtic;:, cf fa:,;,!1 t, eats and food prod at demand in Europe Oils of Kurone are a- be-, a -h t; with each other ami are no longer "tela but consumers of fnn,l tv, t on prices in this country is that they have risen higher than in mam years. France has ordered a million wool en blankets from America for the Frencji army. This has given impetus to voolcn goods. Cotton is the only product of the farm that has suffered in this country by reason of the European war. jear" ly two-thirds of the cotton crop of the South is purchased by Elngland, Fraix-e and Germany, and as the cot ton mills in those countries have eith er closed down or curtailed their out put until it is small as compared to the regular products of the mill3. The effect of this is that European coun-ti-ies are not buying more than one twentieth as much cotton from us as they ha-re heretofore purchased. Of the more than fifteen million bales of cotton produced in the United States, the United States can not use as much as ten million bales. This makes the price of cotton low. In the first issue of The Courier af ter the outbreak of the war we stated that this was the greatest war in the history of the world and that it woifid for a while at least bring disaster and depression to other countries not en-j gaged in the war and would result' 5-.. great injury in certain lines by reasr" I of the cutting off of the demand ofsition on the money tied up in the certain products heretofore having their principal market in the coun tries engaged in the war. The injurious effects to the coun tries of South America was greater than to any others outside of Europe. Brazil, the greatest country of South America, was paralyzed the banks all closing within a week after the war broke out, and few of these banks are open now. There is general depression throughout not only .Brazil but in all other South American countries. In the United States the effects of the war are in the South because of its influence on the price of cotton. In that part of the United States where other farm products are produced suf ficiently to supply more than the loca demand the effect of the war ha: greatly stimulated business condi tions. The largest furniture manufac turer in High Foint has moved his traveling men from the cotton fields of the South to the wheat fields of Kansas and Nebraska. Result of the fhange is proving most beneficial. His factory will sell a million dollars more cf its output this year than in any year heretofore. The reason for'th's is that the farmers are more prosper ous than ever before. The only de pression among farmers is where cot ton is the principal crop. Of course, all business depending upon the cut -ton trade feels the effects of low cot ton, but the country on the whole i. prosperous despite the evil effects !' the war, and it is rapidly recovering from the shake up caused by the shock of the war, for there is a ture the tide. We are shipping more goods aeross the water and the South American trade is opening up.

RKITDLK'AX LEADERS AND HEELKKS MAKE MISREPRES ENTATIONS. State Chairman Warren in an in terview says: "The Republicans and Proe-ressivvs and the discontented in some counties are trying to amalgamate with view of dividing the spoils and to this end they are getting so hungry for office and pie that they are circulating all -.urns oi political claptraps with view fooling the illiterate and honest voter.

Hope less anti desperate most lie the con dition of radicalism in North Carolina when it stoops to such a low level as to undertake to circulate s-.-ch false and puerile statements. "The indications now point to splaniiul Democratic vote in every county in North Carolina, which means a splendd vote of endorsement for Governor Locke Crag's adminis tration and for President Woodrow Wilson's administration, all of which is most deserving.

A good many people sympathize fith the under dog, but they don't want the upper dog to know It " THINGS TO REMEMBER The prcsent administration was the ?irst in the country which made requi- freasury and sent it out in circula tion among the people. Republican administrations had held to traditions and kept the money hoarded in the vaults at Washington and the sub treasuries, but one of the first finan cial acts of the present administration when the need became apparent was to have resort to the funds in the Treasury for disbursement to the banks. This policy of the Demo cratic administration is a matter of course enriched the country by in creasing the per capita in circulation.. And this was done without cutting do .en the pensions! The Wilson ad ministration had put the- country ia the best condition it had been in since the Civil War in position to success fully withstand the shock of a war which has been felt the world over, and less in the United States than in any other country. If the Republi can administration had been con tinued in the old routine we shudder to think what would have happened to this country when the recent war broke out. The United States would have been in far less better position to meet the emergencies of the sit uation, and the war tax which the Republicans would have found neces sary to impose on the people would "avc been of an appalling character. These are things for the people to think about when the Republican spouters come along with their gab ble about Democratic war taxes and cheap cotton. Charlotte Observer. CONSUMPTION TAKES 350 PEOPLE DAILY Over 350 people succumb to con sumption every day in the United States. Science proves that the germs only thrive when the system is weakened from colds ,or sickness, overwork, confining duties or when general weakness exists. The best physicians point out that during changing seasons the blood should be made rich and pure and active by tak ing Scott s Emulsion after meals. The cod liver oil iu Scott's Emulsion warms the liody by enriching the blood ; it peculiarly strengthens the lungs and throat, while it upbuilds the resistive forces of the body to avoid colds and prevent consumption. If you work indoors, tire easily, feel languid or nervous, Scott's Emulsion is the most strengtheningfood-inetlicine known. It is totally free from alcohol or any stupefying drug. Avoid substitutes.
