FRUIT RAISING.
The publications of the Jay give ma
ny interest Ing statements of the success
ful cultivation of large and small fruits,
but often leave out some esscntiai part.
We have just read an account of a fin
strawberry crop, stating tha*. twenty,
five acres of the land were purchased to
begin with, flail an acre was then set
out with strawberries with some addi
tional plantings. This patth then bore
"un immense crop," so much finer in
quality tlmu others, that all sold at high
prices, although the market was already
overstocked with common fruit. More
were planted, and "the six hundred
bushels which were marketed brought
four dollars a bushel," while othorr
sold at two. Thus is quite au interesting
| statement, but it does uot inform jslnw
much land the six bundled bushels grew
u. what tbe uxpeusc and profits were,
nor briefly, what the improved treat
ment was which produced suon satis,
factory result*. We desire distinctness.
J. 11. llale, of Connecticut, who has
had wide experience In fruit riising, af
ter speaking of the advantages of the
present day—the railways, iuiruess to
towns, home markets, cheap conveyances
etc., says: "Yet with all these advan
tages none of us are getting rich. Sotno
arc just making a living, others losiug
iui "icy and becomiug discouraged with
low prices. We hear, indeed, shout the
successful cultivator who produces (j..
000 to 8,000 quarts of berries to tbe
acre and sells them fur fifteen cents, a
qtiait, while nothing is said of the nine
ty and uinc just men, who raise 2,000
quarts and sell theui fur five ecu*v. Rut
at preseut/1 advise those who are estab
lished in the business tu hold ou; culti
gate fewer acres, give better care to
what Ihey have and let new beginucrs
uot begin." These remarks apply to
those who raise fruits fur market; they
can have no retarding effect on such as
provide au abundant supply for their
families at homo.
Irviti" D. Cook, of Gennessec oouuty,
stated, m his last report last report to
tho Western New York Horticultural
Society, a successful instance of fruv
raising for home use and for neighbor
hood marketing. J. F. Rooe, of that
county, raised on a portion of his vil
lage lot last year not exceeding tlirce
lourths of an acre, crops of currants,
grapes, pears, bernes and other fruits,
whioii he sold for S7B, besides what was
given tu his neighbors, and for supply
ing his own family, wlnla many uf his
grapevines have not yet conic iuio bear
ing, and he received premiums fur bis
fruit at tho county fail amounting to $lO.
lie depends tuuoh on fhc boncdust and
ashes aud good management. Mr.
t'ook's advico to bis beavers wsa, "Go
and do tikew sc."— Country (lentlman.
Wc say, not only that tbe country lus
nover been re prosperous and labor has
never been so contented fs under low
tariffs, but that low tariffs have been
the only taiids with which the people
have been entirely contented and have
nut asked for a change. We say, fur
ther, thai if there wcro danger from a
low tariff at ull in the present case, the
amount of reduction under the Mills
bill is so moderate as not to possibly af
fect the laboring man The attempt to
alarm him is purely political, and he will
do well to remember the fact both for
his own comfort and thai lie may not be
moved to vote against his convictions by
a mistaken idea of sclf-intcrost.—Bos

NORTH CAROLINA DEMOCRA
CY.
PLATFORM OK PABTV AUOPTKH IN
STATE CONVENTION AT ItAt.-
EIGII, MAV, 188 H.
Wo again condaratulate the people of
North Carolluu on the continued enjey
ment of peace, good government and
general prosperity umier Democratic
administration of the State which has
now been unbroken for so tunny years:
upon the just ar.d impartial enforcement
of the law, upon tlie increasing efficien
cy of our eounuon sehool systeut ai:d
the progress nmdc in edcfutit'li;
upon the improvement and enterprise
manifested in all parts of the State. We
again challenge a comparison between
the state of things and tho outrages,
crimes and scandals which attended Re
publican ascendancy in our borders. We
pledge ourselves to exert in the future
us in the past our best efforts to pto
mote the best interests of the people of
all sections of the State. Affirming our
ailherenoe to Democratic principles as
hcrtoforc enunciated in the platforms of
the party, it is hereby
Resolved, Tlut no government has
the right to burden its people with taxes
bevond the amount required to pay its
necessary expenses and gradually extin
guish its public debt; and that wben
o*' . the revenues, however derived, ex
ceed this amount, ihey should be reduc
ed, so as to avoid a surplus in the treas
ury. That any system of taxation which
necessitates the payment of a premium
of SJ7O by the government on eaeli sl,-
000 of its bouds, taken up with the mil
lions that would otherwise lie idle in its
vaults, and paid to bondholders who
purchased tu many instmces, at less
than par, is undemocratic, oppressive
and iniquitous and should he refunded.
The course -f our Democratic Represen
tatives in Congress, in their efforts to
give relief to the people from burden
tame internal revenue and" tariff taxa-
I tion, meets with the approval of the
Democratic party of this State and we
respectfully recommend that is they find
it impossible to give to the people all the
relief they demanded, they support any
just and practical measure presented in
Congress that will ufTurd a practical re
lief from such existing burdtn.
Resolved, That while the details ot
the methods by which the constitutional
rcvcuu* tariff shall be grudutliy reached
are .'objects which the representatives of
our our people at the national capital
must be trusted to adjust, we think the
custom duties sheuld be levied for the
production of public revenue, and the
discriminations in their adjustment
should be such as will place die highest
rates ou luxuries and the lowest on the
necessaries of life, distribute as equally
as possible the unavoidable burdens of
taxation, and confer tho grcutcst good
oil the greatest number.
That we, as heretofore, fa
vor, and will never cease lo demand, the
unconditional abolition of the whole in
ternal revenue system, as a war tax, not
to be justified in tiuiesof peace; as a
grievous burden to our people and a
source of annoyance m its practical op- :
crations. We call the attention of the |
people of the State to the hypoeiitical
pretensins of the Republican patty iu
their platforms that they are in favor of
the acpea! of tlu» onerous system taxa- ;
tion, enacted by their party, while the !
Repi blicans in 0 ngrcss arc taxing their
energies to obstruct all legislation in
augurated be the representatives of the
Democratic party to relieve the people
of all or a part uf this odious system.
Resolved, That the course of the
Democratic party, iu furtheiance of pop- j
ular education, is a sufficient guarantee
that we favor tho education of the peo
ple, and we will promote and improve
the present educational advantages so far
os it can be done without burdening the
people by excessive taxation.
Resolved, That to meet an existing
evil, we will accept, for educational pur- I
poses, from the Federal Government or i
pro rata share of the surplus in its trea- I
sury; Provided, that it be disbursed j
through State agents and the bill for
the distiibutiou be free from objection
able features.
Resolved, That the United States be
ing one government and ours a national
party, we denouuee the efforts of the j
Republicans to torce sectional issues in
Congress and elsewhere, and to promote
dissention and ill will between the pso- i
pie of the different sections of our com- |
nion country.
Resolved, That it is due to tho peo
ple of our eastern ceurties, who have so
cheerfully borne their share of our com
mon burdens, that flic present or some
equally effective system of county gov
ernment shall be maintained.
Resolved, That the Democratij party
is opposed to any further extension of
tho "No-fcucc" law, unless such exten
sion .shall have first been authorized by
majority of the qualified voters within
the territory to be affected thereby.
Resolved, That the Democratic party
has ever been tho parly of the working
man, aud has necer fostered monopolies,
nor nave "trusts" or "combinations" or
"pools" ever grown up under laws en
acted by it. The contest in this coun
try being between aggtegatcd capital,
seeking to crush out all compction, and
tho individual laborer, the Democrat io
party is, as it has over been, agaanst tho
monopolist und in favor of a just distri
bution of capital, and demands the en
actment of laws that will bear equally
upon all.
Resolved. That as all taxation bears
I most heavily upon the laborer, it is the
{ duty of the legislator, as a direct benefit
j to the workingnian, to keep the expenses
of our public institutions at the lowest
J limit consistent with wise and efficient
t management. The Democratic party
| opposes any competition between free
| and convict labor, but it insists that
convicts shall not rciuuiu idle at the ex
-1 ponse of honest labor.
Resolved, that ours being an agricul
tural State, it is our duty us well as our
pleasure to promote any and all legisla
tion that is best calculated to advance
the interest* of agriculture, and that in
so doing we will most efT-ctua!ly advance
: the interest of mechanics, manufactur
; crs and laborers.
i ltosolved, That the l)«tne*nvey of
; North Carolina, cord ally approve the
I administration of Hon. Alfred M. Scales
I as honest, patriotic nud conservative.
Resolved, That tha ability, wisdom,
: honesty, patriotism, independence, faith
fulness to duty and manly courage- of
Presidett Cleveland have won the adiui ■-
ution of all good men; and the interests
of the country demand his rc-nominntion
| and re-election.
"I FORGOT"
Some children say "1 forgot" io often
that I almost think that they believe
that they have not any memory but only
a"forgettcry." l)o you know what
makes you forget ? It is the want of at.
j tentiou. A n.other
uu errand to do at the store, lie is at
I his play when aito calls him off, and he
jis so busy with ins play that he only
| half attends to what she is saying; and
jso before he has got to the store he has
quite forgotten what it was she told him
to do, or ho only remembers half of the
errand. Aud when lie comes back
without the spool of thread, or tho loaf
of bread, or the poutid of coffee, he says,
as though that WAS just as good as the
thing he was sent for, "Oh! I forgot."
I wonder what lie would say if some
morning lie would come down and uot
find anything to eat on tha breakfast
table, and he should say to his mother,
"Aren't we going to have any breakfast
i this moriiiiigt" und sli-j should say, ''Oh'
I I forgot." I know one man who was
j very bnny with bu work, and \vh,*n he
wen» out in the morning and -when his
wife gave him an errand for the house lo
attend to, he often forgot it. lie re
solved to break himself of that habit;
aud so, whenever he forgot any such er
rand, lie would walk all the way back to
!do the think forgotten. lie soon cured
j himself of his •'forgettcry," and put a
; memory its place. Suppose you try
experiment.
Hut there is one habit which is woise
than not to is, not to
think. Did you ever hear a little boy
or girl say, as though that was a perfect
ly good excuse, "O 1 I didn't think."
i That seems to me as tbovgh a boy should
i stand still in the midule of the ttreet
! until lie was run over by a carriage aid
: then should say, "Oh' I didn't think.''
| His legs were given him to run with, and
his miud to think with. Did you ever
see a gorilla' 1 saw one once, dead aud
stuffed in tho British Museum. It was
| standing at the head uf the stairs, leau.
; ing on a stick, aud looked exactly as
though it was ready tu spriug out upon
any one who was going up the stairs. It
had legs like a man, aud a neck like a
man, and arms like a man, and a head
like a man, but it was very different from
a mau. Do you know what is the dif
ference between a gorilla and a man'
The man can think and the gorilla can
not. And since that day, whenever I
nave heard a boy say, "1 didn't think,"
I have tbouhbt of tho gorilla, and won
dered what is the difference between a
gorilla and a boy who does not think. 1
wish you would tell uic.—Ex.
