UEDAY, FEBRUARYT " 18881- As AuBtro-German treaty of alli ance isrepor ted from abroad, .and a FrancofRussian alliance by way of off set. rbis news would indicate the nearness of a climax to. the Crisis which has now been -in existence for some time, bothering the newspaper ff atef nity and holding all ChrBtendom, so to speak, on the tack ofj political anxiety. Bismarck utterances are " pacific, howeter, as appears; with some fullness elsewhere- It islthe southern "farmer, with his westerrf brother, who is levied on to make (he northern manufacturinjg millionaire. Should such an arrange ment lib allowed to continue? To qnote Speaker Carlisle, "Whoever as serts th&t one if class of men or oijo Bpecies f industry has a right to ei act'tribte fron another for its ovip benefitjor has (superior claims updn tht conlideration of the government, asserts I doctrine utterly at war wiih the first principles of our politicjsl system. j The protective tariff of the Repub-'r--r-" monopolistic proprietors oily. While the boun ties it eactB from the body of tjie people re paid to the mill "batons," 1 as our western friends call the bosses, the latter pay the men, women and children they .employ the lowest pos sible pauper"- w ages known in Amer ica. ThU is a sort of protection agree able enough to the monopolist, but anything but, agreeable to the em ployee pid the rest of the people jcf the coujhtry. The workingman should look at he practical working of the gystemvith care. There seems to be a ell-dfined rule that the more complete the monopoly the lower ttie wages paid. It behooves all wor:ngmen to note the fact, j The ether day the Evening lyst said -tlfat the bill authorizing the Treasurer to bay bonds with the f ukd deposited by the national banks to pay thr notes would not increase the amount of money in circulation, and 'noir comes heFinonciai Chrpn icle anff says fin sabstance the same thing. ii And yet very clearly the pp eratioof will have that desired effect. I TheTreasury holds $307,800,000 'gold nd $227,400,000 silver and 28,60I000 greenbacks, $25,000,000 subsid&ry coin and $6,660,000 trade 'dollarsl a grand total of $595,460, jOOO afid then about $60,000,000 are deposited in national banks, making the gojernment treasure about $655, 000,000. Against this there are cer tificated and liabilities outstanding to JujiiirfLi3i4tQ99JJ901ev aside t redeem greenbacks if need be, another $100,000,000 is the amount deposited by the national , banks f and I $110,000,000 is the amounS of butpIus on hand. If $100.- , - - ' ULUUp now held as a deposit for the -onl bank be used to boy bonds the market thai money will leave e treisurf and will enter into cir culation. The bonds bought will I take ite place. in the treasury vaults and tbl circulation of the country will b increased by that amount. And that is exactly what we want; ' ! SOMETailSG ABOUT STATIC FI.1ANCES. The fecord - of the Democratic ad ministration" of State finances is one i if i .that reflects the highest honor Ion our persple. It should be a source of pride a$d satisfaction to every citi zen. Abroad ' the good fame of our . State hs been re-established and at home t&e people feel that their' money matter! are honestly, faithfully and economically attended to. But iT is well tojkeep the facts in mind, j In inciting attention to the matter we musjt necessarily go back to the period ? when the Democrats took ; chargej In jjaly, 1868, the Radicals obtainep possession of the State fin der the Canby Constitution. From July 1 o September 30, the end of . jthe fiscld year? they spent $203,000. "The net fiscal year they spent $77.6, '476, q which; $106,104 was for In terest jbn the! old debt. The next fiscal Tear, ending September SO, 1870, t&ey spent $1,117,476, of which $208,4'f0 was interest on special tax bonds and $1,776 was interest on the old deft- That left, outside of in terest,' i)07,230. The expenses out side of sinterest the year before were $670,373, and the last year they had possession $$07,230. They were on the well. There's no telling what they would have spent the next year, if the roney had held out and if the people Ixad not ejected them nock and heels, f : But so happened that the people rose in I their imight and elected a Democratic Assembly that fall and the legislature held the purse strings. The Democrats paid no interest, but thejipenitentiary was under con. tract apvi while the Radicals had only begun that business in their time, it was ip lull blojom when the. Demo crats cqjme in. I It cot in l7i;$l30,49S. teaving that out, the Democratic expenses were 22,00fl for 1871. But there was a deficit of $156,000 in the Treas ury whch the Democrats had to pro vide fot a Radical legacy. This was provided for in 1872. Leaving that out, an also f 113,945 for the peni tentiary, the Democratic expenses for 1872 wire $357,000. With the peni tentiary lnciuafU, tne exjmnsos were 170,0f). Iu 18? 4 the expenses were $439,0Q0. In ImJ'J the Radicals levied a tat of 80 ceriTs on the hundred dollars' -worth (V property. In l71 the i'tmocrats levied 30 cents o'ft'the hundred dollars' worth of property and in addition 12'cents fcr the penitentiary and 10 cents to meet tfe Radical crficit in the Treas ury, makir.g a total of 52 certs. In,l74 the tax, Lhdudlrg thtwi!. lily oil V tSxfn thrSo eek y, G j 1 tentiafy tax, was 31 cents, and this j was reduced that year to 29 cents, ! house for business. It i Kore Ruita whieh rate was continued until 1878. j ble for tobacco Or some kiad of fac- In 1876 the State tKgan to pay in terest on bonds issued to buy in the Western N. C- R. R., which had beeu sold under a decree of court and bought by the State. This interest amounted to $59,500, and the nest year the State began to c-pend about $33,000 a year for iroD, &.c., in build inp that road. In 1875 the State also began: to bnild the Western Insane Asylum, hich cost the following year $j5i,(X)0. - i- , t 1C7C ,rro The total expenses for 187b were $520,000- In 1879 the Colored Insane Asylum at Goldsboro was begun, costing that year about $20,000; and the peni tentiary coBt that year $138,610. - In 1880 the State made a contract for the sale of the W. N. C. R.-R. and stopped paying interest on her bonds and stopped appropriating money for the building of that line. But we then began to pay interest on the hew 4 per cent compromised debt, which interest is still paid, amounting annually to about $114, 000. In 1879 taxes were reduced to 24 centsj but to pay this interest on the 4 per cent debt, they were increased to 28 cents for 1881 and 1882, and agaiii reduced in 1883 to 25 cents.. In tne meantime tae insane a,sy- lum at Morganton and the colored asylum at Goldsboro.were maintained and the unfortunate ii ma es cared for; and there was estabi she I a ol ored branch of the Deaf an I Dumb Asylum at Raleigh. The expenses, including interest in lo4, .were iMiu, 000. Before the war the State issued about 3,000,00O boiid to pay for stock in the N. C. R. R. Interest on these bonds was not aid in 1870, and when that road was eased In 1871 the bond-holders brought a suit to have the State's dividend from the lease money paid to them instead of being paid to ; the State Treasurer. The Federal Court bo decreed and Mr. Phillips was ap pointed Receiver to do that. We may as well call him an "Assistant Treasurer." He received State mon ey and paid it out to the bond-hold era tor interest. He received, we be lieve, after 1872 about $180,000 a year. " This was State money and it was paid put for State purposes by this "Assistant Treasurer." So, as a matter of fact, the public receipts ought to be computed on what the "Assistant Treasurer" as well as what the "Treasurer" received; and the true expenditures are what they together paid out. 1 In 1883, however, that debt was ar ranged in part, and a large part of that money now does not go into the hands of the "Assistant Treasurer," but goes into the hands of the State Treasurer, who pays it out for interest on the new bonds. For instance, in 1883 Treasurer Bain received from that source $124, 320; the same in 1884; in 1885 be re ceived $125,000, and in 1886 $143,820. This makes his receipts apparently larger than they used to be ; but this dividend money goes to pay interest on these bonds just as it did when Mr. Phillips got it and paid it out. In 1884 the State sold out her interest in the Western North Carolina rail road, and got $600,000 in cash; and therefore in that year there were no collected in 1883, were $552,4901 the nex year they were $570,308; the next year, when there was no tax on property, they were $85,858 and for 1886 they were $501,274 We do not know yet what laxes were collected in 1887. But the rate of taxation has been decreased from 25 Cents on the hundred dollars to 20 cents. Here then is the record of the Democratic party. We have managed to re-arrange our State debt and pay interest on it. We have built and maintained the penitentiary : also the Western Insane Asylum; also the Uoldsboro Colored Asv- 1 : TT . inni we nave appropriated large sums to normal schools : 10 ine aisaoiea uonlederate Boldiers; also; made provision for the Oxford Orphan Asylum, and yet we have re duced taxes for State purposes stead ily until now they are only 20 cents on the hundred dollars. In the meantime there has been some little increase in the value of property. That iB, Binoe the Demo crats got control in 1870 they have managed affairs so wisely that prop erty has slightly increased in falue all oyer the State. But we have also provided for the assessment and val uation of railroads, and that has swelled the aggregate valuation of taxable property in the State. Any man can see what his taxes are this year and compare it with what the same property used to pay. The dif ference should be credited to the Democratic party. Now we say this record is most commendable. It iB the record of honest seeking to serve the people. Take, for example, the expense in curred in establishing the Agricul tural Bureau. That Bureau has not been of the great service hoped for, but it has been an effort made in the right direction. We have not been afraid to try to do good to the peo ple. We have tried. How far the attempt has been successful each must judge for himself. We hope the result has been worth more than the cost. We have not been niggardly or stingy in dealing with the peo ple's matters; but we have been Care ful, honest, prudent and economical. The wants of the State, the needs of the people, vary each year, and we have sought to meet these wants &a they have arisen. Every man who will consider a moment, we are sure, will Bay, Well done, good and faith ful servants ! Alexander Item. Cor. ol the New aud Obseryer. Ta? lorsville, N. C, Feb. 3.

Commercial and Financial Chronicle- . Y. Friday Wight, Jfceb. d, lobb The weather has become more agreeable. The severe cold and vio lent'storms of last week are followed by a milder temperature and clear skies. Railroad transportation is no longer obstructed, and general trade has niaJc good pi ogress. The only serious drawback is ithe Reading strike aud its complications. Con gress makes slow progress with legis lation aiVectintr finances and trade, but the opinion is general that the needed relief will come by and by, and that nothing radical winbe pro posed or carried, and tne suDjeci causes little uneasiness anywhero. Tno speculation Li lard for future delivery was sluggish at variable and unsettled prices early in the week, but on Wednesday became active and buoyant, continuing down to near the close on Thursday, when there was some reaction toward lower prices. Today thero was a slight further ad vance but a quiet closing. Lard on the spot has shown a hard ening tendency. The dumand was only moderate, but there was a gen eral disposition to hold for higher prices. The close was quiet at 7.80c for prime city, $8.05a8-12Jcfor prime to choice Western, 8. 10c for refined to the Continent and 8.75c for South America. Pork has been marked up 25a50c por bbl ; new mess closes fairly active at $15.50al5.75. Pickled cutmeats also show some improvement, with a good business today at 7a7c for bellies. Other "hog products," as well as beef, butter and cheese, show very little change. The speculation in options for Rio coffee has been active at widely fluc tuating prices, in which;, however, the declines exceeded the advances. To day, however, there was decide 1 buoyances, especially in the summer months. Coffee on the spot has been more freely offered at lower prices, but to day was steadier; fair cargoes quoted at 16c, with Bales of No. 6 at 14 14c. Raw sugars have been ami owing to the stopping of .many refineries by what is known as the "Sugar Trust," and there is a further decline in values. Quoted today at 4Ja5c for fair refining Cuba and 5jj for cen trifugal, 96 deg. test, with the latter in bond at 3a3 5 16c. Refined su at 22 $c tor tfU aeg. test. 'A he tea sale on Wednesday went off at steady prices. Spirits turpentine closes quiet at 40a40c and rosins at $1.10al.l5 for common to good strained. Wool is more active at full prices. The speculation in cotton for fu ture delivery at this market opened j ... t . uepresBeu on oamrnay i-8t, in sym pathy with dull foreign advices and some expectation that better weather in the South would lead to a freer movement of the crop. Disquieting political news Irom the Continent was also an element of weakness Monday was buoyant on a renewal of the speculative manipulation, in which summer months appeared more free as they had been relatively cheapei than the spring months. A decline on Tuesday was caused by an increase in receipts at New Orleans, which in duced many of the bull party to un load. A decline at Liverpool on Wednesday made a dull opening, with the early months lower, but as the renewal of speculation there was a quick rally, followed again by a turn downward under pretty full re ceipts at the ports. Yesterday Liv erpool further declined and advices with us yielded a few points after a stronger -opening The fuller crop movement and some rumors regard ing the forthcoming statistics of the overland movement caused many bulls to lose confidence. Today the opening was weak, but steadier at Liverpool and reduced port receipts led to a demand to cover contracts, and there was a quick rec avery, fol lowed by an advance of a few points. Cotton on the spot remained quiet and unchanged until yesterday, when there was a decline of 1-1 Gc. The market today was quiet but firm at 10&C. for middling uplands. The figures indicate a tlccreune iu the cotton in sight of 303,842 bales as compared with the same date of 1887, a decrease of 59,650 bales as compared with the corresponding date of 1886 and a decrease of 11,420 bales as compared with 1885. . The totals show that the old inte rior stocks have decreased during the week 19,072 bales and are tonight 41,417 bales more than at ths same period last year. The receipts at the same towns have been 10.978 balen leas than the same week last year, and since September 1 the receipts at all the towns are 105,117 bales more than for the same tirn in 1886-7.
