Why not make at legist a part of the

year? It would be equivalent to hav
mg the use of the " land one ' or two
years wmiout taxation. lor only one
crop is usually grown o;i an acre taxed
for the j'ear. The season Ls long enough
for two or three crops in nearly all'parts
of j:he United States. Oats, or Oats and
peas can be followed profitably by lur
nips, grass, or a soiling crop. But do
not hope to accomplish this, without
making the land very fertile. Quick
crops will not grow on poor soil. -

Governor Fowle said in an "interview
in the' N. Yllerald; T''Sjt::.
Wc do not Eivor the policy of pro.
teclion We stand for a tariff for , reve-
niie only aud consequently firmly en
dorse the Democratic national platform
for reform.-- ButNorth Carolina nsks
first ior an enture abolition of the", - mter
ual'Tevenue vstera, because we believe
inac inis ascnmiuanng uat
and unconstitutional and we
be compelled to bear tlie uurticn,
ine ureens DoroiN or ai state, com
menting upon this, says :
".If there is any proposition too plain
to admit ofdiscussiou, it islliat the party
iu tills country which 'plat ts itself upon
a platform oi" a tarilf for revenue only,
or m ettect iree trade, cannot ' in' good
laith favor a repeal of the internal reve
nue taxes, aud it ls equally evident that
there is one and only one" source from
which a" repeal or modification of the in
tei'al revenue laws may be reasonably
expected, and that ; is from - the party
which lavora a protective or high tar-
iff," : ... ; . . :
. The North State has evidently not
considered the ; meaning of 'the phrase
tarift' for revenue', which has ljeea the
Democratic slogan for three "e mpaign3.
It meS,ns not only the abduction of the
vicious, unconstitutional and sea-de
feating principle of levying - the tariff
axes for the special advantages of cer
tain classes, but such au adjustment of
tne taritt aa will yield the greatest reve
nue with the least burden upon the con
sumer. A purely protective tarul tends
to exclude imports from this country1
and puts money in the pockets of the
manuiactnrcrs. ' a taritt tor - revenue
admits imports which can be- bought
abroad to mora advantage than at ho ne
and thereby the ' duty goes into the
treasury instead of the pockets of the
manufacturers, A tariff : for revenue
should increase the receipts of the treas
ury and at the same. time thiit it raduces
pri.-cs. : Consequently there should be
no conflict between the iidvocates of
such a tariff smd a reduction or' repeal
of the internal reveuue sj'stem. The
Republican pirty does not . seek to re
duce the surplus at alL, .whatever pro
fessions it makes. Its policy of multi
plying pensious, of subsidies and general
expenditure is lohsisteut with a repeal
of the internal revenue laws. Its policy
of high protective duties will tend to re
duce rather than increase the treasury
receipts from the tariff. . . f
Governor Fowle expresses the senti
ments of North ' Carolina Democrats."
They want the internal reveuue system
repealed, but they do-not consider that
this involves an advocacy or necessity of
the couliiiuance of a tariff for the . pro
tection of private .individuals - and not
for the benefit of .the treasury r

- The movement of the Southern Alli
ances for the general adoption of the
cotton fabrics, as th covering for cottou
bales, ought to succeed. Together with
the pine straw baggingValso a Southern
product, cotton cloth should constitute
the. bagging stuff of the Southern plan
tations. ."'
. The use of .be imported jute, of for
eign production, is not at oJ neces.-ury
to obtain agooi substantial covering for
the cotton bales. , Indeed tho jute bag
ging is aBtnit the most inflammable and
insecure material that' could be used.
The pine straw bagging Is capable "of
being rendered fire proofV and if necessa
ry the cotton cloth coveriug could be
made fire proof also.
But there is an ecouomical and self-
interest point of consideration in the
milter. It is, of course to the interest
of all the cotton farmers to enlarge, the
field of cotton consumption" in order
hat the demand may enhance the price
of the articles in supply. There is f e
quiredvlnlly fifty million yards of stuff to
ball the cottou crop of the- Southern,
States, The manufacture of fifty mil
lion yards of cotton fabric, for the -baling
purposes, would mean the consump
tion ofhiany thousand bales- of cotton,
and these manufactories located in : the
South would augment our manufactur
ing industries, and save to the planters
large money now paid as freight ou the
jute bagging, and in thexotton consum
ed m the manufacture of the eloth bag-'
ig, besides retaining at home the s in-
manse sums of money hitherto paid out
for tne jute bagging. " " - "
- We are aware of no measure of self-
i.iterest or general economy :tliat could
better occupy the attention of the ; cot
ton farmers at this time. ; .The efibrf of
the Alliance Is timely and praiseworthy.
We commend the matter tothe "consid
eration of all cotton planters. -Wu.

j: All lultry keepers, wlicther farroew
or not, sbouU plan for green feed for
t'eir fowls in winter by raining in sum
mer turnips, beets, onions, and cabbage
one or air of these to which almost
every one m the older portions' of the
country will be able to add apples, is
nearly as good as tho vegetables. Chop
the fruit iu a chopping tray, not quite as
fiue as mince meat; but so that, the
fowls can pick i.t as they could the kcr
nchrcf corn, and they-wlll relish it ex
tremely when cold and snow prevent
their seeking 'grassland other green
things with swhich they supply them
selves largely in the warm season. v -
Two Or tliree times a week or. bet
ter, daily this mess of green food must
be given them. It provides the change
of diet they need in their rations; the
coarse juicy pulp keeps in order the
digestive organs, and helps to 'furnish
some of the waste material which must
"find h place in the food of all fiving crea
tures. Some people advise suspending
a cabbage head in the hen house, and
allowing the fowls to help themselves;
but we find tliat any "of these vegetables j
go further and seem more satisfactory
when chopped nicely, and mixed with
alraost'dry meal and scraps of meat
A-spi inkling of salt waler, a dash of
pepper, or a pinch of ginger, compose a
dish for which tho fowls will give you
to-day audible thanks In tile happy,
crooning noise with which they partake
of the savory repast, and visible thanks
tomorrow, when you till your egg bas
ket from the newlysupplied nsts. This
cheaper food also saves somewhat in the
meal and grain, which is their common
fare, and gives in the way of variety
even, more than Its actual benefit in
several other directions.
