The manufacturers of the ' ' Englund Statin waut eoal mid ir to which, of course lVuu-jlv.isii.i, i "I1 posed. The woolen mills want free wool which angers the growers in Ohio, mid no it goes. We are glad that they ate disagreeing among lln-uin-lvi-ii. It lia bueu kuowu a long time that the protective duties did Uut proteet the working class but only put money into tho will owners' and manufacturer.' pock ets. These latter gentry knew this and consequently contributed largely to the Republican campaigu fund in order that their pockets might continue to swell with money grouud out of their employ ees. But while they want their uianu- facturcd goods protected they are now ' ' demanding raw material free of duty. They desire by this to profit at the ex pense of the producers of free raw mate rial. It is always a greedy demaud for money which belongs to other people. A Federal appraiser in a report to the Treasury department s.iys wool ought to be free because a high cost limits pro duction io this country which is a here sy of the rankest kind for a Republican to utter, and had it beeu said before the election of would have consigned the appraiser to political perdition. We sincerely hope that when the ques tion comes up in Congress that there will be such a demand for lower duties that it will have to be heeded. SpeakiNU of the race troubles in Mississippi the New York ll-ruhl very outspoken. It says whether there will be further trouble depends upon ad ice received from men who eouiiuuni catj freely with Field Marshal yuay, of Pennsylvania. It is plain that the II' i -aid believes these troubles to have been instigated by the leaders of the Republi can party for the purpose of affecting the North just prior to important elections. That this is true we have no means of knowing. But it is true that there were no such troubles duriug Mr. Cleveland's entire term of office, and that they begin before the Republican party has beeu in power six months. It is not disputed that the negroes in the South were as Well off and content during Mr. Cleve land's administration us they have been at any time siuee they were set free, and it is uot disputed that they were in this Condition when the race troubles began, so that there must be some nK-rct intUl met) at work among lln ni, and it is pos sible that this same iuflueuec, whatever it is, may be the cause of the negro emi gration to that State from others. It is deplorable that such a state of things can exist but it seems to be a fact that they will eoutinue until the negroes discover the true purpose for which they arc being Used by the Republican party. A great many of the more intelligent have al ready found it out, and while Mill Repub licans do not countenance any such pro ceedings; but these have uot yet sufficient influence to lead the othets. It is a mat ter of congratulation that the two races get along so well together in this State. TltB Nashville Argonaut advises the cultivation of ramie in North Carolina. It is a fibrous plaut of much value and is not UiOre difficult to cultivate than other profitable cro. It, would be one way of diversifying. Experiments are be ug made at various places and a ock company has been urgan; d iu New England for (he purpose of encouraging its cultivation. "If true, as stated," says the .ley-.-".', "that 1 ,5d pounds cati be rai.ed to the cre, with three cuttings, and the fibre Worth five ecu's pouud, it is evident the crop will be a must profitable one."
