Give tariff time and it will fetch
New England away from its R«
pnhlicnn moorings. For ex
ample, the cotton mills have lo
compete with the Bouthora
mill*. In the Afussacbusetts
mill* tha hours of labor are re
stricted by legislation. In the
South they nre not. The Sooth
era mOle bare cotton at their
door* and pay low wages. The
UaaMcbuMtta mills pay freight
charge* on their cotton nnd
pay high*; wngea to tbelr hands.
The Massachosett* mill* can on
ly lira by making finer good*.
But for that they need the long
staple Egyptian cotton on which
they have to pay a doty. There
were glues-works on Caps Cod;
they need wood for fad until the
wood was gone. Then cheap
Dominion coal would have help
ed rbetn. But there is a duty on
coal, and the glaes manufactur
ing business has moved to Pitts
burg where coal is handy. If
Pennsylvania and the coal roads
are strong enough td maintain
the duty on coal, Nsw England
will evsotoaUy rebel. She had a

dispatch of September Ytb:
“There is trouble at the Agri

and the senior classmen say the
other claseee ore backing them

of Raleigh this afternoon in
largo number*. They said they
had done no duty nnd had no
examinations today, that all
the senior* except three out of
a clues of 43 had taken oath to
leave unless they were given the
same privileges as to being al
lowed to visit ItaMgh without

that all junior* had taken oath
i o support the seniors; that 85
freshmen had signed oath and
the sophomores were ready to
sign It. Four leader* hi ire been
expelled by the faculty lor "In
subordination.” The fuculty,
however, rufusod to change the
new rules, and many ol the sen
iors went home. The second
clipping refered to is from the
Uuloigh Post- of Heptembsr 10th,
and gives the npeliot: “The
situation nt the A. k VI. College
to much more satisfactory now
nnd tlwuor'i of the institution
is moving smoothly. The
claseee were wcP attended yester
day, tlis only abnenteee being
