A. CHIT WITH THB FABUBRS.
We wish we had big paper so we
could copy more freely from leading
publications. In the April number of
JBelforcTa Magazine there is a paper
entitled "The Decline of the Far
mer. It is pregnant with facts and
a strong blow at Monopoly. We
must give the reader a glimpse at a
few points here and there with com
ments of our own.
In the matter of higher education
the writer says there is a startling
contrast between fifty years ago and
now. The time was (in the North)
when the students in the colleges
were from the farms. Now they are
nearly all from cities and towns. We
quote:
ZS'The sons of gentlemen so-called
crowd the learned professions, while the
farmers' boys wha weary of their fathers1
occupation and decide upon a change enter
the mechanical trades, become railroad em
ployes, hucksters and the smaller shopmen.
Socially they go down instead of up."
e says the contrast is as great as
to theNegislatures. In the past the
fsTmersvedominated. He says:
"He not on made but executed the
laws. The first President of the United
States was a farmer. ""So"ws the first Vice
President. Of the first ten Presidents eight
were directly interested in agricUfcure, but
it has now been a long time since we hare
bad a farmer in the Presidential chair, and
he is not to be there for four years more.
Not only has the farmer largely retired
from Congress, especially from the upper
branch, where his place has been taken by
the millionaire manufacturer, the railroad
magnate and the lumber kin?, but he is
rapidly disappearing from the State Legis
sjure, where he once reigned supreme."
These are startling facts. Buco
lic statesmanship is at a discount.
Magnates of another stripe and fash
ion are to the front manufacturers,
bankers, lawyers, etc The writer
goes on to show how the "Farmer"
is declining, and points to the fail
ure of agricultural colleges, agri
cultural, newspapers, county fairs,
and the desire to quit the farms
and more to town. This, mind you,
is a Northern picture. Does it ap
ply to the South? The Northern
writer thinks the farmers are rather
hopeless Bourbons, learning nothing
in political operations. He says,
and it is true, every word, as ap
plied to the Northwest and to New
England:
"So slow has been his educational pro
gress in public matters that some of the
aatnte managers in the recent Presidential
campaign which was notoriously a cam
paign of 'boodle' seem to have concluded
that in the closer districts it was easier to
buy than to instruct him. So odtIous are
these things that, while our public men, in
shaping pending measures, closely study
the labor rote, the liquor Tote, the temper
ance Tote, the Catholic Tote, etc, etc., they
hare almost ceased to regard, the farmer
rote as worth, considering.
"In all this there is nothing mysterious.
It is purely a matter of dollars and cents.
. Honey tells the whole story. The farmer
deteriorates because relatively he is grow
ing poor." j
How sadly, sadly true! The Stab
has taken occasion to warn its read
era against ' being deceived by the
roseate pictures of Southern prosper
ity based upon manufacturing devel
opment. While there is a gratifying
and cheering development along this
line it is a sad and deplorable fact
that the farmer is not prospering
and is not the power in the Govern
ment that he should be. '
Now for some facts and figures.
Can a country, a State, - a county, be
said to prosper when its fields are
unremunerative? Ib not agriculture
the base of all real prosperity? .Let
the farms grow up in weeds and
briars and cease to produce, how long
will .the wheels and machinery of
mills and factories run think you?
Look at the Mortgages. Take
three States. The . Northwestern
States take the census as to mort
gages. What are the results thus
far? Read the figures: Ohio has
$374,000,000 in mortgages on the
farms. Illinois has $124,000,000.
Michigan has $130,000,000. Here
are three States alone that have the
enormous sum of $629,000,000 in
farm mortgages. A considerable pro
portion of this huge sum is owned by
Eastern manufacturers.
In 1860, the farmers owned one-
half of the country. In the next 20
years they added but $4,122,588,481
to their wealth, while the other half
had added more than five times that
sum or $23,359,79.1,851. You never
read of farmers now becoming mil
lionaires from cultivating the soil.
JStlford's Magazine says:
"The mortgages that are sold are really
written in blood. They represent the sweat
and tears or a prolonged but utterly hone
less straggle. The high rates of interest
that are pledged which alone furnish the
inducements for the purchase of these in
struments in most cases make their pay
ment impossible, and point at last to the
inevitable foreclosure. What that means.
needs no explanation. All the world pities
the poor irishman who, because be can t
pay the 'tint,' is evicted from his holding:
but wherein is his case harder than that of
the American agriculturalist who, because
he can t meet the interest, is dispossessed
of his home with the loss of all his invest
ment T"
Does the farmer receive any sub
stantial benefit from the War Tariff?
The question is stupid. The Tariff
burdens, robs him systematically,
cunningly, pertinaciously, eternally.
It strips him of his surplus and makes
him grind and grind in the mills of
the remorseless, insatiable Philis
tines. They should pray for a Sam
son to ccme and deliver.
There is nothing raised on foreign
farms that can compete with Ameri
can farms but sugar and rice. They
are protected. But the great bulk of
the products of the farms in this
country is not in competition with
foreign products. The prices are
fixed abroad both for what he ships
and what he sells at home. He may
sell in Liverpool at Liverpool figures,
but he may not buy there because
goods are cheap. This the Tariff
prevents. He may cot purchase
cheap goods abroad. The American
Monopolist guards against this. He
has the High Tariff Tax to interfere
So the famer must buy at home and
pay two prices. We quote again:
"The tariff has added nothing to the
price of what he sells, but has doubled tht
cost of what he buys. Now, under ' that
arrangement, who has the advantage? Who
is built up, and who is pulled down? who
is fostered, and who is sacrified? We can
understand why. under such a system;
while our crain-erowing farmers and it is
equally true of the producers of cotton and
beef and numerous other staplesgrow
poor and poorer, and their lands become
less and less valuable, our protected manu
facturers become millionaires, with places
at home and castles abroad. And when
we read a short time ago that a gentleman
had given five million dollars to a charity,
not one of us was surprised to learn a little
later that he was a large proprietor in a
leading iron-works an institution that en
joys in an especial degree the benefits of the
protective system.'
So the poor farmers are without
friends and they will not combine to
take care of their own interests.
They will never prosper under a mort
gage system, and so long as they are
robbed by the Tariff ' of Monopoly.
In voting for the Tariff monger he is
(jutting the throat of his own pros
perity. TUB CONSTITUTIONAL CELEBRA
TION. The good and patriotic people of
the growing town of Fayetteville
are preparing to hold a centennial
celebration in November next. It
was on the 21st of November, 1789,
'that the Federal Constitution was
adopted. North Carolina very wise
ly hesitated long, some twenty
months, before putting her sTgnature
to the great indenture by which she
was to become a party to the" Ameri
can Union of States. The Constitu
tion as framed was very objection
able to the leaders of the people the
Democrats of - that time. A long
struggle with Great Britain had re
sulted in the independence of the
Colonies. Men who had passed
through that severe strain of seven
years, were careful in accepting a
Constitution that had been construct
ed in distrust of the people. After
long debate and delay North Carolina
entered the Union. - She was the last
to do this but Rhode Island. It is
proposed by the Fay etteville people
to celebrate the most important day.
when our State became one of the
sisterhood. North Carolinians gen

bration. An oration setting forth the
condition ot the country, the defects

the contest in North Carolina, and in
other States, over its acceptance, abd
the twelve amendments that followed,
would be instructive and interesting,
and if done with mssterly power
would become a heritage of the peo
ple. The amendments for which the
people were more indebted to Mr.
Jefferson than to any other man, were
very necessary, and they were drawn
in behalf of the people and in dis
trust of the Government. This is
important, and important v because
true.
TDK SURPLUS AND XHB OtDMIff-
ISTHA.TTOR.
In the North American Reviev,
Senator Allison has a paper that
needs to be referred to. He thinks
there will be no extra session .before
October because there will be no
need of it. But why October?; Can
not the country wait two months or
six weeks longer after waiting from
April to October? Is there a Repub
lican trick in an extra session just in
advance of the regular assembling of
the new Congress? Senator Allison
is a man of ability, and was once
thought to be a man of wisdom,
sagacity and general level-headed-
ness. But when he comes out in fa
vor of expending the surplus and still
keeping up the high, crushing taxes,
we must put him down among the po
liticians who never learn by experi
ence, and who are burdened' with
vioious principles.
Allison says that the new Admin
istration will be able to get rid of
the surplus. His figures indicate
this .as a probabability. A 'High
Tariff is to be maintained upon the
necessaries of life. The luxuries will
be relieved. High necessaries and free
cigars and cheroots, free cigarettes
and "free chaws." Such is Radical
statesmanship in the almost last dec
ade of the enlightened nineteenth
century. Save the mark ! States
manship indeed ! And yet there are
men in and out of Congress wearing
the badge of Democracy who favor
just such a Radical measure as that.
SHORTSTOPS.
Old Jo Brown has been foisting a
Georgian Mugwump, a Protectionist
upon the county as a sound Demo
crat and asking the Senate to ap
point him a delegate to the Congress
of American Nations. When Geor
gia sits down hard on old Jo we will
have more confidence in the simon-
pure character of its Democraoy.
Boulanger is at last to be vigor
ously prosecuted by the French Gov
ernment. De Cassagnao was quite
defiant and dared the Government to
prosecute the disturber of the peace
and tranquility of France. The
fact that the Ministry have with
entire unanimity, resolved upon the
prosecution of Boulanger is a hope
ful as well as a courageous sign. . He
will be tried, we suppose, before the
highest legislative body. The New
York Times says of the prosecution:
"Of course the trial, like the offence with
which it deals, will be political Its result
is a foregone conclusion. Everybody
knows that Gen. Boulanger has plotted for
the overthrow of the republic. The culprit
himself does not deny it, except in so far
as plotting may be held to imply secrecy.
He 88YS that he cannot be convicted of any
crime simply because all that he haa said
and done against ice government ne nas
said and done open.'y."
Surely a country has a right to de
fend itself against a publio revolu
tionist, and to expel him if its safety
demands it.
CVHUENT COMMENT.
The Protectionists of the South,
we trust, do not generally share Mr.
Pryors ideas. They must not ex
pect to see the Kepublican party ac
cept a bribe of this character the
break-up of the solid south,- and
maintenance of Protection, as the
price of a surrender of equal rights
before the law. These southern Pro
tectionists who wish to take their
place in the ranks of the Republican
party must make up their minds that
Uepubucanism is a consistent thing.
If it is set for the vindication of white
labor at the North against the un
fair competition of European capital
and labor, it is equally set for the de
fence of the black laborer, at the
South against the political proscrip
tion and educational neglect which
a w uvfi iooa.aJ u AO WUUlvlVUf auuvuu
the Protectionist policy involves the
elevation of the freedman as a la
borer to a condition which will no
longer permit of unequal competition
of his labor in manufactures with that
of the white workman.' 'As for the
political positioir-V influence of the
negro, the difficulties 'b attend it
are the fault of the whh eople of
the South. FhU. Americt&12ep.

Digested by the News-Observer.
Moffitt vs. Maness. ' I
Plaintiffs alleged that defendants
executed a bond to tbeir testator in
the sum of $580.50 and a mortgage
on certain lands to secure the Same,
and that no part of the debt had been
paid, and offered the mortgage in
evidence. Defendants offered to
show by the subscribing witness to
the mortgage that they did not go
into any settlement when it was exe
cuted but that it was agreed that it
should cover whatever should be
found to be due upon a settlement.
The court adverts to the tendency
to relax the well settled rule of f evi
dence against the admissibility of
parol testimony to contradict, (vary
or add to the terms of a written con
tract, and says "courts are gradually
construing away a principle which
has alwavs been considered one of
the greatest barriers against . fraud
and penury."
The- proposed testimony materially
contradicts and varies the terms of
the writing. The bond is a solemn
declaration that so much is due. The
testimony is to the effect that the
amount due has not been ascertained.
It is inadmissible.
Where a contract lies partly in pa
rol, that part which is in writing can
not be contradicted. Parol testimo
ny may be admitted where the writ
ing is Bilent upon the matter sought
to be proved.
Where a bond fcued on is not pro
duced or shown to be destroyed the
judgment should require a bond ot
indemnity.
J affray vs. Bear.
The provision of the Code that
where an action is brought for relief
on the ground of fraud or mistake in
cases which heretofore were solely
cognizable in courts of equity the
cause of action shall not be deemed
to have accrued until the discovery
of the facts constituting the fraud is
not to be construed to embrace ac
tions that were cognizable at law as
well as at equity.
When a debtor seoured a compro
mise of his debt by false representa
tions and a receipt was given in full,
the creditor upon showing the fraud
practised could at law recover the
unpaid part of the debt,notwithstand
ing the receipt, for the fraud vitiated
the whole transaction, and an aotion
to recover the debUwas not therefore
cognizable solely in equity and is not
within the above provision 01 the
Code.
The recent modification of the
above action of the Code does not
affect judgments previously rendered.

It was a memorable spectacle wit

and one whose counterpart no living
Englishman is likely to see. lhe
race of great English orators is all
but extinct. The last but one whose
voice has rung through England for
half a century lapsed last week into
silence, and the House of Commons
waited for the last survivor of the
old men eloquent to pronounce the
funeral oration on. his coeval and
compeer. It was as if Cains Gracchus
had delivered the eulogy of his elder
brother, like himself a dauntless and
beloved champion of the proletariat,
or as if Fox had uttered the last
words of panegyric and farewell to
Burke. The characteristic note of
Mr. Gladstone's speech was its mag
