It appears from pur Washington letter cf today that the" ways and j means committee has about decided j on the tariff measure it will offer. It seems that the total abolition of tho tobacco tax is probable. There should ' be nofloubt about the matter.Thetax should be taken off wholly,partieulat ly after the understanding of tbe winht H of the people which has been had. The rate on wool and sugar is to be reduced 20 per cent, the tax on , fruit brandy isjto be cut down to 10 ; cents, and lumber, salt and other like raw materials are to be put on the free list. These suggestions indicate a verv considerable reduction and the pros pect is a gratifying one indeed to thin tax-ridden, tax-bcund, tax-hindered people. The bill has been so carefully framed that it will probably become a law, but in case of failure the , responsibility for that failure will be continued upon the Republi can party.where the responsibility for the war tariff has rested since the necessity that tariff passed away years ago. For tie promise of better things of relief from the present almost; intolerable state of affairs, the country is clearly indebted to the Democratic party, the policy of the Republicans in this matter having been ione of masterly inactivity in the interest of their protected monopo listic bets. It is pleasant indeed to note the dawn of a brighter day which; is now presented to our long desiring eyes by the Democracy. This is the day for the total eclipse of the moon and the phenomenon will occur shortly after sunset, we believe. If the air be clear it will be well worth looking for ; it will be a beautiful and interesting spectacle. Of course every body knows how an eclipse like this is brought about how the moon in its revolution around the earth gets directly opposite the sun, so that the shadow of the earth envelopes it completely; how, in other words, the sun's rays are obstructed by the in terposition of the earth and a shadow is thus cast, making an acute angle of darkness, thousands of miles long, - into whicn the moon pass es, i But if the light of the sun, which alone gives the moon its borrowed brightness, is shutout from ihe moon altogether, how is it that We are able to see the moon when - in eclipse at all? Well, we would not be able to do so were ; it not foil what is known as refraction. The sun's rays in passing across the edges of the earth's disk are refracted by the atmosphere which surrounds this planet, and in this way pass around the earth and fall upon the face of the moon at an obtuse angle, giving the latter orb during the pe riod of total eclipse a rich copper color.; Look put then for the copper colored man in the moon and the coppei-colored lady, for they do say now-Srdays that there is a lady there also. Should the present opportunity be missed, however, it will not be bo very long before toother will offer, as another total obscuration of our satellite is scheduled for July 22 23, that is to say about midnight of the 22d. ii Wb are glad to note the steps taken in Congress toward the protection of forests on the public land?. The mat ter of the care and cultivation of forests is one of rapidly growing im portance in this country now. , The general government does well to set an example therein.

I b:iv rarely beard to complete and eloquent a j reeentatiou of the natural advantags of our Stato ho that niudu by lVoeidt nt Battle at !1-e rect-ut Farmers" Coiiveutiou. It ,o8 a cpitul speech, well delivered n-1 wtiil rt-c ived. Il ought to be pHuii : and circulated over the United .tUn and F.urope by th Board of Agricul ture. I hend a very brief and inade quate summary. "Noith Carolina ha9, a a farming country, many extraordinary advan tages. 1 Huge of-productious the same as if tLie Statu ulretched along the sea coast from tLe Gulf of Mexico to New Y.ik. 2. Th climatti. Our average iso thermal is tbat of South France, Florence, Yeddo. Dakota's range of temperature is from 105 deg. F. in summer to 38 deg. below zero ; Kan sas, from 98 dog. to 25 below ; Indian apoHs, from 100 deg. to 22 deg below zero ; West Tcxat, from 102 deg. to 12 deg. below zero. In Pennsylvania and New York fanning operations are hindered about live months in win ter. 3. North Qaroliua has no blizzards, and as the cold waves statt from the northwebt tbe telegraph gives our people ona or two days' notice of tbeir coming. 4. We have pure air and pure water in mo6t of the State and therefore health. "With cistern water the east ern counties are also healthy. 5- North Carolina has comparative freedom from drought. We have 47 inches per ' annum of rain, while Dakota has only 21, and West Texas only 18. At El Paso there were one year only 11 inches and about ono third of this fell in one month. With deep plowing and good cul tivation we need not suffer from drought. 6. Grasshoppers (called locusts in the Bible) flourish where there i9 a dry land near rich vegetation. They will always infect Kansas, &c , while North Carolina is free from them. 7. We have good, orderly popula tion, composed of the" best blood of England, Germany. France, Highland and Lowland Scotch fcc, who have beefl in the State long enough to become homogeneous. No religious denominatiiu is dominant. All are represented. 8. Our geographical situation is excellent . The most civilized nations with 240,000,000 of people, with ten thousand million dollars of imports and exports per annum are clustered around the North Atlantic. North Carolina is on the water front of this great lake of tbe nations. 'J. As the mountains opposite the southern Chesapeake have been re cently pierced by railroads the build ing of a great city some where on its waters is in the near future. But even if the predic tion be not verified. New York is now the second commercial city in the world. On Manhattan island alone there were sixty-seven millions of dollars worth of new buildings last year. Counting Brooklyn, Jersey City and other places there are clut tered here already about two and three quarter millions of people, with wealth beyond conception. Between here and Ne Yoj k are other popu lous cities, rapidly growing, so that it will not be loDg before the lands of North Carolina will be adjacent to forty millions of non-producers. Farms in 24 hours of N. Y. should now be worth $100 per acre. They have not only the advantage of a ready mar ket for tbeir productions but they are in pnaa rkrnrimit.v fn f Via fifnt-A.hnnwea j - j and manufactories whence they get j their supplies- j What are the disadvantages of ! North Carolina T . 1. The presence of slavery excluded j; men unaccustomed or averse to that 1 institution. After the great civil war ji the uncertainties cf Reconstruction : and the bitterness of party feeling ) have retarded the inilux of northern i 1 men. It will not bo long before these disturbing elements will have passed ' away. 2- Some uuaccujtonied to colored j labor do not liko to settle where ; ' negroes are a large portion of the 1 population.! To this there is a suffi- I cient answer, first, that many coun 1 ties are largely white and in the east ! ern counties the negro element is su ! perior to that in the South because ! for many years it had been the cus tom to cell to that region the turbu lent and vicious slaves. And lastlv. I the proportion of the colored must , rapidly diminish because they have no accessions from immigration. Want of schools is urged as an ob jection, but that does not result from hostility on the part of our people but from sparseness of population and poverty. When settlers come schools will spring up. 3. High railroad freight will disap- ?ear when our farmers demand it. he railroad companies will lower their rates from policy whenever farm products increase in bulk. 4. All these objections to North i Carolina are remediable. We come ! lastly to the most Berious, viz: That j our lands are not naturally fertile, i As to this, President Battle con tended that if our lands are not nat urally rich, they are cheap and easily made rich, so that the total cost will be only half or one third of the cost of land at the Bame distance from New York in any othor direction. He quoted from a letter of a friend in Kansas City to the effect that the lands in western Missouri and east Kansas bring thirty to sixty bushels of corn to the acre, and cost $25 to $50 per acre. He asked if a North Carolina farmer should put on his land tbe diflerer.ee between tlSOht of land here and there, our lands would not produce as much or more. Mr. Hazard, the great cattle far mer, says the common plan in Ches ter county, Pennsylvania, is to put on each aero forty two borse loads of i stable manure at $2 50 per load i. e. j 100 per acre; then plant in corn, i Tbe result is 75 to 100 bushels of j corn per acre. Then seed to Wheat and timothy, applying 200 'lbs acid phosphate. This gives 40 bushels of I wheat per acre. Then seed clover i on the timotl y ia the ppriDg, and get ' 3 tons of grass per acre for tLee j years. 1 hen repeat the rotation. Now suppose we in North Carolina! should farm in this way, would not our lands show similar results Tbe fatril tn PeimBylvwuia c'ct tflOO to S150 per acre. Our land can be : brought to bring as much as theirs, naming enougn in ieriuizers, laDor, &c, to make the cost only $40 or $50 per acre. The interest on the differ ence in cost of the land would be a handsome income. ! president Battle closed by showing that we have isolated: cases of farmers who put brains on tbflir lands. Williamson, of Raleigh had raised land bringing C00 lbs., of neejd cotton to 1,800 lbs. : per acre. President Upchurch had secured 33 bujiUels of wheat per acre on Wake county land. Capt S. B. Alexander, President Elias Carr and others farmed with similar intelligence and success. He made an earnest appeal to all to follow their example, to study tbflir farms and the needs of their Eoijs, to learn and practice the best methods. North Carolina ought to be bne of tbe garden spots of the world and with such intelligent farm ing! it will become so." Let 100,000 copies be printed and circulated. Yours, j Tarheel.

If we know all the methods of ap proach adopted by an enemy; we are tbe better enabled to ward off the danger an J postpone the moment when surrender becomes inevitable. In many instances the j inherent strength of the body suffices to enable it to oppeso the ten dency toward death. Many, however, have lost these forces to such an extent that there is little or no help. I a other cases a little to the weakened lungs will make all the difference between sudden death and many years of useful life. Upon the first symptoms of a rouRh or cold; or any trouble of the ihroat or lunijs, give that old and well known remedy Boechee's German Syrup, a careful trial.

For more than forty years, Ayer's Cherry Pectoral kas been successfully prescribed in cases of consumption. This medicine always affords great relief in pulmonary diseaes. Ask your druggist for it. There is an impression among coal miners that the high tariff on coal means protection for the barons at the expense of the workingmen.

Several yean ago, James Dire hard, of Damn, CoafV, was severely ill. Tbe doctors said lie was in Consumption, and that thy could do nothing for him, tint aU vised Urn, as a last resort, to try Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. After taking this medicine, two or three months, he was pronounced a well man. His health remains good to tbe present day. J. S. llradlay, Maiden, Mass., writes . Tlieee winters ago I took a severe cold, w'ui rapidly developed into Bronchitis H'i-1 Consumption. I was so weak that I ctiujil not sit up, was much emaciated, Hn.l toughed incessantly. I consulted several doctors, but they were power-, icss, and all agreed that I was in Con :nip1i')n. At last, a friend brought rue a lwttle of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. From tbe first dose, I found relief. Two bottles cured me, and my health has since been perfect." Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, PEEPAUED BT : Or. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mass. Bold by all Druggist.
