The Morning Star. By WILLIAM H. BERNARD. WILMINGTON, N. C. Friday Evenikg, Dec. 12, 1884. EVENING EDITION. THE EFFECT OF THE TREATY UPON THE UNITED STATES. We apprehend that the .recent Treaty with Spain will excite not only great opposition in the Senate, JU WU Will 1JX a DUiiUO aUUVUUWVUAVMW V bat throughout the country. That something C3n be said pro and con is evident. Already a number of mem bers of Congress have signified their purpose to oppose it. Mr. Tucker, of Virrrinid artxra. Vio mill ArvrvAen if n & J - V if AAA VyVOC A U MJ cause it is too one-sided. Senator ShermaD, it is understood, will op pose it because it wipes out $50,000, 000, and this would at once make useful the surplus revenue in the Treasury. But wc do not understand that the ratification pf the Treaty would wipe out all of the revenue received from Spain now, but only about half say $25,000,000. The question for legis lators to consider is this how. will tne oaiance ot good and evil be if the Treaty is adopted ? Will more harm or more good arise from it? Will the injury done to the sugar and to bacco interests be counterbalanced by good done to the country at large ? And it is just here that Doctors will differ and of every school of economy. The Washington Post sees good only. It says:. "What does such a reduction represent ? A diminution in that sum, not of the re sources of the Government, but of a worse than needless surplus in the treasury and a corresponding relief to the taxation, direct or indirect, by which it is year after year accumulated." Per contra the political economist, Mr. J. S. Moore, thinks the Treaty "inadmissable" as it stands now. He thinks the interests of the United States will be injured by it. He takes up the proposed reduction on flour. The duty now is $4.60. The Treaty reduces it to $1. The United States ships now 310,000 barrels. If it ships hereafter 60.0,000, the remis sion of tax in Cuba will be' $96,000r But Spain ships 1,300,000,000 pounds of sugar to this country and hereafter it will be free of duty. The Treaty proposes that all other sugars im ported into the United States shall pay 2 cents a pund, thus giving Spain an entire monopoly of the sugar trade. Mr. Moore says: "It is difficult to reconcile such a state of S!f g8Vi,Sha.eteP uld,far from be mg m the direction of free trade, create a vast monopoly. Cuba would become the SfttJ't001111 of the United States, and. would play with us, as regards prices, supply and manipulate as she pleases. In fact, by - adopting this couse we simply give up the raw sugar competi L0?111 wo,r!? '." place the monopoly sure and perfect remedy for this, and that, is to make all kinds of sugar, ra as well as refined, free of duty." Under the Treaty cigars will be cheaper. The tax will be reduced some 25 per cent. But as these are strictly luxuries it is not desirable iuai ine tax should be lessened and the revenue to the country thereby lessened. It really looks as if Mr. Moore was correct in the opinion that the Treaty" waV intended to im prove on a gigantic scale the finan- cial condition of Cuba and for the benefit of the holders of Cuban bonds. We Ruppose that many of these bonds are held in this country and mainly in New York. .That may account for the fact that the, business men of New York are said to be in favor of the Treaty. But on the other hand the tobacco and sugar men are vio lently opposed to it. The Treaty will, it is urged, practically levy a tax of probably $25,000,000 annually upon our own people for the benefit of Cuba and its bond holders. Of course if you diminish the tax $25,000,000 this sum must be raised in some other way as long as the pensions (averaging from $40,000, 000 and upward annually) and public debt have to be met. It is manifest even now that the Treaty can not be made a party ques tion. There are men of both parties who favor and men who oppose, as there are Low Tariff men on both sides and Protectionists on both sides. There are some compensating ad vantages to the Treaty. It is said that the imports on sugar, molasses, and cigars, from Cuba aggregate $50,000,000 yearly. Our exports amount, to about $17,000,000. We send lumber, iron, steel, provisions, &c. While we lose $25,000,000 tax on sugar, &c, we will be compen sated by having sugar made lower to the consumers, if such shall be the case. But .Mr.. Moore is of the opin ion that the reduction of the tax will not in fact benefit consumers. He thinks the Cubans will be bene fited alone, as the tax of two cents per pound is to be levied on all West India and other foreign sugars. ' r We see it held otherwise. Now which is correct? The Philadelphia News, Republi can organ, says: . "But it also will lower the price of the necessary saccharine luxury, for which every one now pays a duty of a dollar each. This will dispose of nearly half of the sur plus revenue. It will do so with only a dis turbance of two industries, one of which, Louisiana sugar growing, has not grown to meet the wants of the country, as other protected industries have done, and which is now in a feebler condition than before the war. . - - "On the other side, we gain the remission of the Cuban tonnage tax, which is a dollar a ton on every coaster that goes to Cuba. This will be a great stimulus to our mer chant marine, nearly every one admits. We gain the remission of the duty on meats, which now pay $6 for 220 pounds. But as to the tonnage tax it may be urged that the Treaty limits the carrying trade between Cuba and the United States to the vessels own ed by citizens of the two countries. Mr. Moore, who understands politi cal science, sees in this the old false notions that have paralyzed com merce in the past. His words are: "Here we see at once the old pigtail of the shipping restrictions sticking out, as it must be obvious that a restriction of this kind, that only allows the free carrying trade in their own built vessels to the two contracting powers, cannot be beneficial to commerce. And the time for liberal ship ping laws is now universally acknowledged to have arrived." It will be seen from what we have given how complex and diflicult is the subject and how much of care and caution should be observed in considering the Treaty in detail. The question of the Treaty making power of Congress and the action of the House we do not enter upon. It is no doubt necessary for the House to ratify as well as the Senate. Whether or not the Congress can re fuse to ratify is a question for law-, yers and statesmen. The New York Times quotes the Constitution and Wheaton to show that a refusal to ratify might be a "national breach ot iaith." j DAVIS TO VANCE. One of Gen. Sherman's Radical or gans said that the letter that, a Vance wrote to President Davis, da ted the 25th of October, 1862, had not been published. The Raleigh IT -- jxews-voserver publishes the letter, and there is not a Word in it'that Mr. Davis may not be rroud of and nnt. q - A w bV word that justifies Sherman's slander- ous insinuation. The letter is not very important now. and is too Ion for our columns. The letter is im portant, too, in showing how very gruuumess are tne insinuations of ly ing correspondents. The - letter is about the Conscript Law, that was v cry unpopular in JN orth Carolina. A Washington special to th 'NW York Tribune said: Who is the United States Senator refer- ret! tO DV lipnorol QV. , , 7f " ""oiuiau, is a question asked by many persons in Washington. There are anmn ivnnia t.n vT: . Senator Vance, of North Carolina, is the man, while others think that he is Senator Brown, nf fion.mo mi s. . . . t' . mo opinion in Doth a. . -- vuTcjcu mreai against a State whose authorities had shown a dispo sition to withdraw from the Confederacy:" mere is not a word in the letter to sustain any charge of any kind against the eac-President of the late Confederacy. We make an ext.. from Mr. Davis's letter a0a Richmond, Nov. 1, 1862, to show its tone and temper. He says: ,"I concur with you as to the policy of allowing the conscripts, as far as the state .of the service will permit, to select the com panies and regiments in which they were to serve. ..'! will send your letter to tne war department .with a copy or this re ply to you, and hope for the future there will.be no ground for dissatisfaction, and that as far as feasible the : disappointment to wnicn you rerer may be corrected by transfer. "I feel grateful to you for the cordial manner in which you: have sustained every proposition connected with the public de fence, and trust that . there will' always be such co intelligence and accordance as will enable." us to co operate for the public good. : ' l :. . "The conscript act has not been popular anywhere out of the army. : ; . :.i .. "Like yourself,. I have, hoped that the party distinctions which existed at a former time would be buried in the graves of : the gallant men who have fallen in the defence of their birthright, and that we should all. as a band of (brothers, strike for the in heritance our fathers left us. . With sincere regard, I am respectfully ana truly, jkffersou Lavis." This is the letter of a statesman, a patriot and an admirer. It will be in order to reproduce here an extract from a legal friend living at Wilson. Writing to u4 and thanking us for our recent defence of Mr. Davis, he says, and his lan guage does credit to his intelligence and his sense of justice: "I confess to great sensitiveness in re gard to all matters affecting ex President Davis, l thins that without any sickly .sentimentality, but with a manly devotion to one who . has suffered so much and so bravely for that which, if a sin, was a com mon one to us all, the Southern people should at all times and on all occasions re sent the malignant attacks upon him bv the North, and especially by such vandals and wreicnes as snerman. While 1 am willing to cooperate with the North in all measures for the promotion of the best interests of the people of the States, I am decidedly of tne opinion mat we should give mem to understand that the characters of our great leaders are peculiarly ours, and not to be attacked, with impunity by them. Mr. Davis is especially the hero of the South, If the North does not find in him those traits which it admires, so much the worst for the North. He is, to my mind and heart, peculiarly dear as the one, who has, in his own person, borne the misfortunes of a people who selected him as their leader to whom he has at all times been true and faithful." It is intimated that the true rea son, why Grant declined the $5,000 pension that Congress had not be stowed, was not that he was sudden ly modest or self-respecting, but that he hoped for bigger pay in another way. The New York Sun says: "The pay of a General of the Army in acuve service is $ia.ow a year. As a re tiredofficer with the rank General Grant would draw from the Treasury annually seventy-five ter cent, of ftls SOO or tlfllM If his retirement should be dated from his resignation, on March 4, 1869, the back pay for sixteen yeaTs would amount to $163,- uw. It is known that since he retired from the army he has received $400, 000 in salary as President, and from citizens through Mr. George Jones, of the New York Times, $250,000, which is safely invested and pays him $15,000 annually. . CURRENT COMMENT. It is stated that Mr. McCul- loch has expressed the opinion that a very large portion of the Republi can party entertains views on the tariff similar to those expressed in his report, and which were approved by the President in his message. In this opinion Mr. McCulloch Is no doubt correct. In the Wnst t.h ta riff reform sentiment is very strong auiuug xvepuoiicans. l nat was shown by the falling off in the Republican vote in November in quite a number of the Western States. When the movement began in Congress last winter for a reduction of tariff taxa tion some of the Republican Repre sentatives from the West were kept from advocating it bv t.ha sinnlino. tion of the party whip. When the n ,4 . " 1 . ibbcuipi, 13 again maae to cut down the tariff to a revenue" basis it will not be surprising if a good many Republicans the tariff reform Democrats. Savan nah JVews, JJem.

In this county, for instance, and we know that the same is true in many other places, it amounts to a udenial of justice between man and man. Almost the entire time of the court is occu pied in the trial of criminal cases, and the man who has an action. on the civil docket is often forced to wait several years before his matter can come to a hearing. Mean- wnne he is compelled to attend the courts with his witnesses and subject himself to great expense. This is the vii of which the people with justice complain. We hope onr next Legislatnre will take away this reproach. The law's delay has ever oeen proverbial UUnton Uaucasian. We do not regard the situation in respect to to the iudiciarv as onec&lHnorfor refirrm. but rather as one calling for an adjustment iur progress. , i ne oia snoc no longer nts the stripling who is vear bv vear Duttinc on manhood.

"Their great value tn Malarial Diseases and Sequela has been most abundantly and satisfac torily tested; and I have no question that it would have been a valuable auxiliary in the treatment of the epidemic of Yellow Fever which so terribly afflicted the Mississippi Valley during the past Bummer. I prescribed it myself, and it gave prompt relief in a case of Suppression of Urine, in Yellow Fever,-and decidedly mitigated other dis tressing and dangerous symptoms. The patient re covered, but how far the water may have contri buted to that result (having prescribed it in but a single case) I, of course, cannot undertake to say. There is no doubt, however, about the fact that its administration was attended by the nmt I m fi nal results" Springs now opens for guests.
