WILSON, NORTH CAROLINA, MAY 23, 1889. NUMBER 17 AT BILL ARP'S LETTER . a or VOTl Eli A'1 ri.VTOtn.tnY THE The T ntl' H'U is Concentration . . vi,- mU tin Ini-ome Tax- tit ,'e ;4ee that Bishop Potter ha- leeii preaching against the riutucnVcy, and that Jay Gould lias replied to him. I .thought that I would turn to the defini tion of that word, but I could not find it in the dictionary. Of course 'it has something to do with I'luto, the God of hades or hull, tut more to do with Plutiis, the od of wealth. I'iuto's wife was tLe .daughter of Ceres, and I'lutus was the s.Mt of Ceres and so Pluto and I'lutus were brothers-iu-law, and just about as close kin as i hell i? to money, ana nuioc- racy are baoly mixed witn Dotn branches of the family. The good Book pays, "Ye cannot serve both God and mammon," but a man can serve Pluto and i'lutus without any strain of his consistency. Right here i . where the' toruble comes in. The love of money crowds out all other loves. This is not a theory, but a fact. It blinds a man . to everything but the gold, and that is the reason, I reckon, why Plutus was blind. My thology says he was not only blind, but he was lame. That is he was lame and decrepit as he approached you, but had men contribute a million each. History and observation proves this. The men of moderate means': have done most for their country in all ages, most' for 3chools and churches and charity and patriotism and public enterprises.- The per cent, of income is the true test of liberality. The men whose annual. income is from two to five thousand dollars contribute far rnore.to church and charity and pkblic; works than thoise income is from ten to hundred thousand. It ike a big thing .for Mr. to give a thousand dol the Confederate veter- hoiiie, but that is only ' a . hundred thousandth of his income. Many, a whose one looks 1 lnman lars to an's about part makes tha wealth of the count- I ry. We want a law that will prevent speculators getting up corners in the necaessaries, of life. We want the producers to have a fair chance at the con sumers, and not let the specu lators make their millions out of both. We want an income tax for revenue and a land tax that will force these foreigners and others who own millions of acres te sell to settlers at a fair price. Something has got to be done or the Plutocracy will sink this government down, to the realms of Pluto before we are thinking about it. . Bill Aep. wind's to flv awav with. When he wanted to over reach any body and make a good trade he came limping along like he was dead, but when he had made his bargains away he flew to hi pile and chuckled over his gains, lie was the originator of bulling and bearing stocks and fleecing the lambs. ' It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer, but after he buyeth he goeth away and rejoicetb Now there is hardly an aver age man but who really believes thai if he was worth a million he would be very liberal and ' charitable, and do a great deal of good with his money. It was .the dream of my youth that some ilay I would be rich and I I would goabout in disguise like Kris ivrinuie, ana surprise tne poor aud friendless and set up the down-hearted. lhad even picked out some unfortunates whom I would help, and I had devised the manner of chari ties, so that they would not know where it came from. There was a poor hard work ing blacksmith whose home was under mortgage and his children poorly --clad, and I heard my father say the sheriff was going to sell him out, and 1 thought it was awful. He was a good man and always talked so kindly to me when I stopped to see hiin hammer the red iron and watch the beauti f ul ?park3 fly from the anvil. And there was a cabinet maker who had got far behind on account of a fire, and was sued in every courtrand was always paying costs and beg triotr for time. Aud there was a man who was all drawn up and bent double with rheuma tism, and his chin touched his knees, and he came to church in anox wagon, and had to be lifted out and carried to his accustomed seat and he seemed so happy during preaching and so thankful to God for His goodness. In that day it was lawful to put a man in jail for debt, ane I wanted money, lots of money ever so bad to relieye the poor and distressed, an I couldn't understand why the n:h men about town didn't do it, but I understand it now, and my faith in my own chari- 1 4 -- j ,. i t 1,1 live ly ia suaiiBU. i wuuiu uo nuei- al with other people's money, but I'm . afraid that I would keep my own. . If a million were to come suddenly into my possession I am sure I wo ild scatter a good portion of it, but is I had been pursuing it long and it came by degrees I verily believe I would be like the rest f the plutocracy, and the more I got the more I would want. As a general thing the more a man acquires the less he gives away, and therein is the dan ger of loving money. It shrinks up -a man's good emotions and iiiiGts him for the next world 1 hat depends, however, on the World he is going to. It hardens a man so that he can look upon ivaiit.and suffering without pity and can pass by on the other .-ide. Not long ago Jay Gould -aid he did not think that any man ought to have more than a million, but as it. was his mis fortune to have more he should Wp it. Hut now he defends the misfortune boldly and says ;.here. would be no great things 'i'jJie for humanity if these '-'iV.t fortuueu were not ac- "utiialated, and he speaks of railroads and telegraph lines and steamships and uuiversi ti9 and public libraries. He ctMMM io imuK.ii oetter mat a hundred thousand men control H .thousand apiece. Right 'there he is mistaken. The hundrfed thousand would be rJlc uKeiy to coniriDute a I linn, . 3 3. vunana aoiiars eacn to any great work than the hundred man whose income w,as a thous and or less gave ten dollars and that Was ten times as much as Mr. Inuian gave in proportion to income. 'Then there is an other big difference between the gifts : lnman did not feel it he made no sacrifice but the other inaadfd The ' sober minded thinking people of this country have no feelings of envy or covetousness towards the millionaires. There is no commuuism in their hearts. They applaud the hon est accumulation of riches and they commend the capitalists who invest in large enterprises that give employment to labor and pay just wages that will enable the laborer to live in comfort. But there is some thing wrong abput any system of political economy that will not do more than this for labor. It should be so rewarded that something could be accumulat ed and laid by for misfortune. Every man who faithfully toils for a living is entitled to food and a home not a shelter but a home. He is. entitled to something for sickness and the accidents of life something to provide against perils of lire and. flood and pestilence and famine and . war something for the education of his chil dren and something for old age. The rich have all. these, and they got them mainly from the labor of the poor. They got them by fair means or foul. When the yellow fever visited Jacksonville what conld the poof do but stay and" suffer and die"? ' The danger that threatens our republican government ey is the concentration of mon- f rem very great. One hundredth part of the population now own ninety one hundredths of all the property. It is said that money controls congress, - and I reckon iti does, but I didn't know until recently that it claimed to control the State egislatures. A writer in the Baltimore Record, in the de fending the railroad syndicate, says they are more honest than . 1 1 1 , , . 11. tne peopjejwiioinowi at mem. and that it is an easy thing for the syndicate,tq purcase a leg islature if they choose to pro tect ' themselves in ; that way, and he saysthat the railroads have an option at all time upon the majority of the members. If this be so may the good Lord help us and delivar us from the evil that is impending. But i do not believe that it is true in Geogia or in tha South. Now, I honestly wish that 1 had "an income of . abou five thousand dollars so that I could respond to some of the daily calls for help and charity that come to me by mail, for I know that inost of them deserve help. It takes about half that " sum for home, and I would be glad to scatter the other half where It would do most gdod, bu.t 1" reckon that home would get the most of it anyhow, and so that I am trying to be content. I wish that everybody had enough to do themaccording to reason and their circumstances, but I risk myself nor no body else with mucn or a surplus. They say-that the Vanderbilts aretworth four hundred mil lions and the Astors two hun dred and fifty millions. If this government is ever broken up it is the like otthat will do it.

The consequence is, in - the latter case, both papers are found struggling1 for an exist ence. Some often exist merely for spite work, the fact being that thev are losing money all the time," North Carolina has a popula tion of a million and a nan or more, scattered over a territory that is . five hundred miles in length. . The people read news papers a great deal more now than they did before th$ war or the one hundred and sixty or seventy newspapers in the State would soon cease. But in point of fact North Carolina is not a good newspaper State The best and most enterprising newspapers cannot obtain large circulation. A few thous ands are all. The multiplica tion of papers is alarming. Two or three a week seems to bethe output. Where is this to stop There are not many papers that can be said to be making money. North Carolina has many papers that would do credit to much larger towns Some of the weeklies are de cidedly good and deserve s large patronage. The dailies are all that the population could require.

We' Should Write, as Well as Make, History. It may be said of North Carolina that in the making of history at a crisis demanding heroes she is easily in the fore front, and awakens alike the jealousy and admiration of her sister States for the moment, but after the crisis has passed and the time has arrived for the portrayal of what she has done, then, with now and then an ex ception, she is the veritable Rip Van Winkle, whose slumber is long, deep and profound. The historians of other States, as matter of course, keenly alive to what their States have done o make them "famous in story and in song," and with only meagre material to show what North Carolina has done, natur ally without any premeditated design, do us injustice. This gives us -occasion to ob serve that it is incumbent on North Carolinians when they make history not to leave it to others to chronicle, having within her borders many sons well equipped in the qualifica tion3 requisite to discharge this debt of patriotic obligation. Oxford Ledger. SOMETHING TO BE THANKFUL FOR.

The Swiss Minister to this country has made inquiries of the President of the North Carolina Agricultural Depart ment as to lands suitable for settlement by the Swiss colon ists. One particular inquiry is, what of the ' churches, schools and roads in your rural dis tricts. When emigrants ask such questions don't be afraid to open your doors to them. Kernersville News.

Farmers' Alliance in .North Carolina has become a very powerful combination, and we have no doubt that it Is do- ng much good by correcting crying evils. There was a great necessity for the formation of -uch an asnciation, for of all ,aen the farmers are the most oppressed and plucked. The A'ar Tariff and high interest have well nih reduced them to poverty and to slavery. The Hliance deserves the support f all men engaged in agricul ture, aud it sUould De sustained by a healthful and independent res. It has a mission, and a aost important one, and we hope it will go on prospering and prosper, widening its in- iluence aud strengthening its iifiuence until no politicians, vith wild extravagant ideas, who care nothing for other peoples' pockets, shall find any favor.

We notice that the small iarmer, as a general thing, is gaining ground and is, it ap pears to b, in a better condi tion than for several years, so if the season hits and economy is used, we see no reason why, with a good price for cotton next fall, they will not continue to grow in prosperity. Maxton Union. WHAT INDUSTRY DEMANDS. What the industry of the na tion demands is that all men bo given equal chances under the law for the acquisition of wealth. Can it be said that this is the case when discrimi nating laws give special advan tages to corporations and com binations of capital which the individual citizen does not pos sess, and which renders it im possible for him to compete vith these favored capitalistic ombinatiou. Indeed, is the individual not absolutely driv- class, are rapidly SHARP SAYINGS OF lliCNRY TRACY. A man who own.' a home is a patriot, a man in a boarding- house is a tramp. Ignorance aud Indifference are, and always have leen, the shroud of liberty. To neglect our ed acation ujMm economic government i to be queath slavery to c ur children.

TREES FOR DIFFERENT SOII.S, It is not always that the planter can have his choice of soils, and he can meet with fair success by adapting it so far as possible to the different kinds of trees he has to plant. Peach trees do best on sandy MANURES ARE NOT STIMULANTS. Plants have no nerves. The notion that they can be stimu lated as men and animals can does not apply. They can only feed, and this probably through roots imbedded in the soil ex clusively. So what is meant by a stimulating manure is one where . plant food is made soluble and easily taken np by roots of plants. But there is something that looks like. stimulation in the application of quick-acting manures in con tact with the seed. This gives the young plant receiving such a benefit a start that enables it to push its roots far beyond what it would otherwise do. If the fertilizer attachment, to one tube becomes clogged, as some times will, the train -sown in this row not only looks poor but is poorer than the toil should naturally of itself pro duce.
