H. Battle,, who appointed the committee!: of twenty-one, would publish the nafnes and the number of : manufacturers of tobacco, segars, farmers and distillers on the committee. ; It is asserted here that the commit tee iB composed ofj lawyers and edi tors. " Yours respectfully, , i' Jonx'W. CiiAiDEiiLAiN, See'. IIoustokville, X. C, Jan. 23, 1888. The committee referred to wasap pointed by direction in order to carry out the internal revenue plank of the party platform. It was phosen with this end in view, and as a matter of course and of propriety ithere- were j Lawyers and editors ! upon it. There were men of other callings, howeer, at the . same time,:: Mr. A. H. I A. Williams of Oxford, : for J In stance, and Mr. W. F. Lamb, of the Albemarle region. It happens that there were no manufacturers of to bacco appointed, but certainly Mr. Williams represents one of -the largest tobacco manufacturing lec tions of the country, and the same may be said of Messrs. Glenn and Buxton, though these gentlemen, la bor under the ban our friend has es tablished of being lawyers. TLe committee was appointed underfin structions for the express purpose of urging the behests of the Democratic party in the State With respect to the odious internal revenue system, and i' was made up accordingly. Any other course would have been ab surd. Some of those who were! in vited to serve asked to be excused from doing so because of the fact that theywere out of sympathy in this particular respect ?with the rest of the party. Chairman Battle's action was altogether in accordance frith sound judgment, good taste and , de votion to party interest, which is; the interest of the whole people. Our friends at Houstonville will doubt less see it on consideration. I THE Qt'ESTIOtf OF1 PARAMOIST I M fORTANCK. i The News and ObsebvebIuis always looked with apprehension1 on the com ing of the time when Other issues would prevent a due appreciation of the issue of paramount importance to U3 in North Caroline--the issue involving the continued supre macy of. the white; man k in the public affairs of the State. There is no qnettion of equal importance with that of maintaining the control of affairs in the hands of the white people. Every interest of the State demands a continuance of the Exis ting status. We may reasonably, be very much interested in the matter of tariff tax reduction and iu the matter of the abolition of the internal reve nue system. We must admit, how ever, that the matter of overshadow ing importance to us still is the main tenance of the white man's suprema cy in this white 1 mania land, i All questions of lesser importance should be made to take their proper places Of subserviency, and from one end of the State to the other every white man should exert i himself in telligently to the' end that the ; Anglo-Saxon civilization which has been ebtablished Cere at f such cost may ba placed in no peril and may be done no hurt. j i The white people of the east Bhduld agree with the white people of ; the west, and the white people off-the west with their race brethren of the east to the end that this i question of paramount importance to all may be answered as only lib- should bej an swered unequivocally in! the int&est of the supremacy of the iwhite man's influence throughout the State. Dif ferences on minor points should be made to harmonize in order tnat this greit point may be maintained with out vacillation or even the shadow of turning. ' ' U Onr friends in the east should lend duo consideration to the wishes of their brethren in i the west. Our friends in the west should likewise be consideiate of the wishes -the needs, indeed of the white people of the ea-jt. v The Democrats Of thi west have bct-u willing to forego for a seison bome of fheir dearly prized rights in the matter of county government in order that the interests of the last might bo duly protected, The Con ci'ision should be continued so long as it may be necessary to the welfare of tin1 whole body of the people, arid it should be duly appreciated by those in v. i."Ee behalf it ib made. The feast docs hot feel the.l arassments of thoin L 1 mil revenue system, but the west do uuJ there should be, therefore, mii'i: g the white people of the ifcast such a sentiment as shall earnestly e u j-pr.rt and strengthen the demand for thf :iljolition of the sybteni for the sake of thoae who live in the territory luain'y alllicted by its presence, v There should be satisfaction every v lu'iii among Democrats with respect ; . . Inn balance of interest, but we re n t t find that there is not here'and thot even among those who ar$ in other inspects good: and faithful jjjar ty iiipu. The departure from the ita- lio.tant line of conduct heretofore iai.l out is deplorable. ; The question of prime j importance io t he-white people! of the Statf is still the maintenance of the suprema cy of the white man Ln the publid" af fairs of the State. Let us not fail to be duly irtVWttat ft thgt la ftn. THE TOBACCO TAX. As indicating the feeling in North Carolina with reference to the tax on jtobaoco it should be remembered that j at the convention or representative J manufacturers and leaf dealers from all parts of the State held in Mrehead City last August, at which the North Carolina Tobacco Association was or ganized with Mr. J. S. Carr of Dur ham as president, the following reeo lution was offered by Mr. J. E. iPogue, a loading manufacturer of this city, and was adopted; unauimously: 'Resolved, That it is the sense of 'this convention that the time has ar rived when the Internal Revenue tax on manufactured tobacco should be abolished; and to that end, we, the Tobacco Association of North Caro lina, in convention assembled, hereby appeal to the Congress of the United States and especially to our own Sen ators and Representatives to bring to Jjear and concentrate their best en deavors to secure this result." Elsewhere we print a communica tion from Dr. Wm. B. Phillips of the State University on the mica mining industry of North Carolina. It is of special interest inasmuch as the in dustry referred to is one of the most important in the State and our mica product amounts to about 60 per ct of the whole product of the country. CommerrtaKpllomc. N. V. Commercial aul Financial Chronicle- Friday Night, Jan. 27, 1888. The weather has contiuued severe and in the past 48 hours a violent snow Btorm nas so obstructed the rail ways of this State that the running of trains has been partially suspend ed. Many of the harbors on the New England coast are nearly closed by ice- At the WeBt and Southwest the weather has slightly improved. The Reading Railroad strike contin ues unadjusted. Thesd obstacles to business, with nothing in the general situation to counteractjthem, exert a depressing influence in mercantile cir cles. Speculation on the several ex changes has been dull, and the turn of prices, with few exceptions, slight ly dowmward. In fact, the possibili ty that prices generally may suffer some shrinkage as the season advan ces, is another circumstance which causes spring trade to upen slowly. The speculation in lard for the week unicr review has at times shown much depression. There were sharp declines on Monday and Wednesday, and still lower prices were made on 'Thursday, but a quick and sharp re covery followed on Thursday after noon. Speculative manipulation has been the active influence at work. To day the market was again buoyant. Lard on the spot declined, but yester day, with a good general demand, there was a partial recovery, and to day further advanced, closing at 7.60c for prime city, 780a7.87o for prime to choice Western, 7.9dc for refined to the Continent aad 8 45c for South America. Fork has latterly been very active 'and closes firm; mess $15al5-50; extra prime, $12:75al3.O0, and clear $10al8.25. Cutmeats have been ac tive and close slightly dearer; pickled bellies, 7ga7j$c; shouldefp, CJaG jc, and hams OJalOc; smoked shoulders, 8a 8c, and hams llallc. Beef and beef hams remain quiet and nominal Tallow steady at 5c. Steaiine is quiet at 8c. Oleomargarine is quoted at 6c. Butter is dull at 21a34c for creamery, the outside figure for Elgin fancy; Western extra selling at 31a 32c and extra first at 27a30c. Cheese is unchanged; State I factory, full cream, 10al2.$c, and skims 4al0c. The business in options for Bio coffee has been active,; but this was due to the freer offerings on foreign account, and led to a rapid decline in prices which culminated today in a semi-panic. Coffee on the spot has also de clined, but not so much as options ; fair cargoes Rio quoted nominally at 17c, but there were sales at 13c for No. 7 and 14c for No, 6 afloat; also prime Maracaibo at 16 &o. Raw su gar have been dull and drooping, closing nominal at 5c for fair refin ing Cuba, and 5c for centrifugal, ib degrees test, and molasses Z-ic for 60-degrees test. Teas on Wedu s 1 iy brought steady prices.; Spirits turpentine declined mate rially, closing dull and nominal at 40c Rosins are quiet at ?1 10.il.loc for strained. The speculation in cotton for fa tare delivery has been very quiet for the wek . under review in fact ii has been , one of ; the dullest Criods on record. Neither bulls nor ars seemed to h'ae the cjurago c f their convictons,f or both sides see rued to be bold enough n speech but timid in action. While? ths bearb pre dicted an important ; decline, none dared "go short" to any considerable extent; and the bulls, though declar ing a sharp advance inevitable later on, contented themselves with real izing when the profit of a few points was offered. Foreign, advices have been rather depressing, but the movement of the crop, has continued -small for the season. On Wednesday afternoon there was a slight advance due to the reduced stocks at Memphis (as corrected) and some covering by bears who had become uneasy at the fail ure and the prolonged dullness to weaken values, and some further im provement on Thursday on a decided ly stronger report from Liverpool. Today there was a slight advance in the early dealings followed by a considerable decline and a weak clos ing owing to the fact that the inte rior movement, small as it was, some what exceeded the expectations of the bull party, while stocks, except at Memphis, were pretty well main tained. Cotton on the spot has been very dull, and stocks have further in creased. There was a nominal ad vance of 1-lGc on Thursday, but to day it was barely maintained, mid dling uplands closing easy at lu 11-lGc. The totals bhow that the old inte rior Btocks have decreased during the week 24,993 bales and aro tonight 49,920 bales more than at the haiue period last year. Tne rc-i-iitH ut the same towns have been ;)2..r)lS bales less than the same week )aft year, and since September 1 the receipts at all the town are 120,203 bales more than for the same time in 1S80 7- The figures indicate a 'V- creme in the cotton insight to-nifh of 234,802 bales compare. 1 with 'the same date of 18S7, ti U crease of 31,710 bales as compared with the corresponding date of 188ti and a i decrease of 40,667 bales as compared Wltn 1533, I Tk PrcM-mt Catitla T Ut Hlea ImAmm . j try la Nvrth OmllMi I Cor. f the Kews and Observer. j Chapel Hill, N. C, Jan. 25th, 888. As special agent of the United j States Geological Survey it became j my duty several months ago tt ex- ; amino in rt fHn ft m rli t irin rf Vie nifa ' industiy in this State. To that, end I sent out over one hundred letters to all the mica miners and dealers whose addresses could be ascertained, and the replies have now ceased to be received. ' They reveal a sad state of affairs. The mica industry in ffort!, Carolina is rapidly becoming d-j'uor-aiized. Good mines are being closed d?wn, several miners and dealers have quit the business, and others annouuee their intention of 1 do- rg ho. fttot-Ks are accuaiuia ting, and the outlook is j any thing but pleattanftl The importation of foreign mica is assuming such; pro portions as threaten to demolish the home production. Imported Imica pays no duty. Let us see hor the matter stands. j The value of imported mica for the twelve (12) years 1876-1887 ws as follows": 1876 3 509 ' 1877 13,085 1878 . 7,930 1879 9,274 1880 . . . , 12,562 1881 5,8J 1882 . .. , 5,75 1883 9,884 1884 27,555 1885 .; . . . 38,685 1886 43.107 1887 63,340 The figures for the U. S. produc tion prior to 1882 are not now at hand. Since that time, however, they are as follows : YIELD VALl'E TOl'NDS. ' UOtiARS. 1882 100,000 250,000 1883 114,000 285,000 1884 147,410 368,525 1885 92,000 101,000 1886 40,000 70,000 In the four years 1882-1886, the yield has fallen from 100,000 pqunds to 40,000, and the alue of the pro duct from $250,000 to $70,000. i The average value per pound in 1882 was 32.50. and in 1886 '$1.75. The do crease in yield and value since 1884 is still more striking. Since 1884 the yield has fallen. from 147,410 pounds to 40,000 in 1886, or 73 per j cent. Since 1884 the value has fallen. from $368,525 to 370,000 in 1886, pr 81 per cent. The average value of a pound of mica in 1884 was 32 53, but in1885, whn the value of the imported mica rose to .38,685, the value per pound fell to $175, and has remained about that ever since. In 1884. out of a total production of 147,410 pounds, North Caroline was credited with 100,000 pounds, or 68 per cent. In 1885 the total pro duction was 92,000 pounds, Knd of tbis we raised 60,000 pounds, or Oo 6 per cent. In 1884 our mica product wis val ued at $253,000; iu 1885 at $105,000, and in 1886, allowing that we raised 60 per tent of the total, at $42,000. Thus in three years the value of our mica output has fallen j from $253,000 to $42,000, or 83 per: cent! During the same time 18S4-188C, the value of the imported mica ros4 from $27,555 to $43,107, or 61 perj cent. There must be some check put to this thing, or the mici industry iu North Carolina is doomed. From 1882 to 1887 (not including 1887) the total value of the mica raised in North Carolina, allowing fori 1882, 1883" and 188G that we raised only 60 per.cent of the total output j is as follows: ' 1882 $ 150,000 1883 lfLOOO 1884 253,000 1885.... 1()5,000 1886 42,000 ! Total, 8 71,000 This falls only $157,500 behw the ; value of our gold and silver produc j tion for the same term of years. 1 The question now staring us jn the face is, What can be done to prevent the ruin which will surely folow if this state of thingB continues?! Here are the facts: siuce 188-1 the value of j our mica has decreased from 23,000 to 42,000, while the value of izhport : ed mica has risen from $27,S55 to , $43,107 in 18SG and $03,340 in 1887. i ihe yield of onr mica has decreased ; in the years 1884- 80 from 100,000 ; pounds to about 24,000 pounds! j What is the mattei? Hav our , mines ceased to yield marketable uii i ca? Is the mica in North Cajroliua : exhausted? By no means. We have I quite as good mines novas wis had ! in 1884, and the quality of our: mica j is notexcelled, I might say equalled, hy any in the market. It is true that some of the mines are deepef, and the expense of working them greater. But the deeper niines have notl been worked for several years; thol great bulk of the mica is now obtained from mines not 100 feet deep. I Is the use to which mica is chiefly put so limited that the market is over-stocked? By no means, j Look at the imports, rising from 27,535 in 1884 to $03,340 in 1887. ! What is the remedy to be applied to revive this languishing industry .' One of three; it may be all of them; 1. Cheaper mining. 2. Other uses for the mica. ' 3- A duty on imported mica. ; As to the first I think from what I have seen at our mica mines that the introduction of better machinery would enable the miners to cheapen the cost of their product. i As to the second, eiperimentjs now in progress for the utilization of mica in ways not yet attempted on a large scale may give an outlet for some of it. These experiments are necessarily protracted, and may or may hot be successful. As to the third : I am not a protec tionist in the extreme sense of that term, but I am protectionist enough to desire that a once nourishing in dustry shall not be destroyed by the importation of foreign mica. The North and the South can shake hands on this question, for North Carolina and New yampshirei pro duce neirly all the mica raised in this country. An ad valorem duty op cut, mica, and a per pound duty on uncut just aufficient to enable our miuersto bell at a fair protit, would be only whafcis right. Bubject I would moist re atk the attention of our lives in Congross. j I v m. B. PmLijn-s.
