Br niLLiA.n h. bkrnabd. WILMINGTON, N. C. v Sunday "Morning, Feb. 9, 1890. PROTECTION BUTT WILD. Under the demoralizing influence of the Republican protective policy it has been carried sometimes to such an extent as to make it absolutely ludicrous. The number and variety of so-called industries that put in a claim for protection is amazing, and the pertinacity- with which thev urge their claims is reallv admirable for the unbounded cheek displayed, if nothing else. The impression seems to have become thoroughly rooted that it is the business and duty of this Government and of the Ameri can people to protect with bounties, called a tariff, every man who puts two dollars and a-half into any sort of an enterprise, from the manufac ture of a tooth-pick to an engine. The demand for protection is not confined bv anv means to the manu facturers, for there is hardly a busi ness of any kind where there could be a possible competition from any other country which does not claim it and insist upon it. Here are a few by way of illustration. The mineral water proprietors plead for a tariff upon foreign min eral waters to protect them from foreign competition. God Almighty has furnished the water and keeps it bubbling up from the springs in the earth, without putting them to the expense even of digging wells. The only expense they are at is in fur nishing bottles and corks to bottle and cork it up, and yet they have the cheek to demand that the Gov ernment pay them a bonus for this. An enterprising egg cultivator, somewhere, sympathizing with the hens of this country in having to compete with the pauper hen labor of Europe and Canada, lays claim to protection for the laying hen. He insists that the industrious American hen ought to be protected in her lay-bor. A New York bean raiser, rising to the full realization of what an im portant factor the American bean is in American progress and develop ment, thinks it -outrageous that the American bean is compelled to sprout in opposition to the pauper bean of Europe and Canada. In all these years, since protection was in vented, the American bean has gone on uncomplainingly, if not absolutely silently, performing its- mission in Boston and elsewhere regardless of the contumely to which it was sub jected by being forced into degrad ing competition with the pauper bean from the effete monarchies of Europe and from the province of Canada, until this champion arose, asserted its rights, and demanded the recognition and protection of this Government to which it is enti tled. Note bene. The man who is raising this bean racket is'also a bean raiser, and that's why the racket is being raised. Next in order comes a friend of the briar-root diggers of Virginia, mostly citizens somewhat off in color, who have been briar rooting for years without anv protection from the oau per root zo users of Europe. Theses briar root diggers furnish "the raw: material to make pipes. Pipe mak- but it is a first cousin of the tobacco industry, which is a great thing in this country. Tobacco is used in two- wavs (excluding: snuff, which don't amount to more than a sneeze com paratively). It is either chewed or smoked. To be smoked it must be burned, and must be rolled up into a cigar, cigarette, or chucked into a pipe. The high-toned and the ext rav agant like the cigar, the idiot or the dude (with some rare exceptions) the cigarette, but the pipe, the demo cratic pipe, is the plain, unpretending, poor man's refuge, comfort and sol ace. Secretary of Agriculture Rusk, sometimes familiarly and affection ately called "Uncle Jerry," smokes a pipe. If there were no pipes to smoke, the effect on the tobacco industry would be disastrous, therefore the pipe ought to be encouraged. The briar pipe is a superior pipe, and therefore the briar root gouging in dustry ought to be encouraged and protected. It should be made, they claim, a permanent industry, taken under the fostering care of the Gov ernment and prevented from being rooted out bv the pauper root grub bers of Europe. Next in the troop of protection seekers comes an enterprising deni zen of New York who runs a maca roni shop, who asks that a tariff of two cents a pound be put on the im ported pauper macaroni from Eu rope and thus compel the epicurean Italian organ grinders of this coun try and others who have a weakness for macaroni to astonish their stom achs with the output of his shops or pay two cents a pound tariff for the privilege of carrying about with them an aesthetic taste which prefers to gorge on a foreign importation and turns up its nose at a New York macaroni. Must New York macaroni perish from the face of the earth, and go down in the unequal contest before the pau- r W I . per macaroni ot n.urope, ana tnis great Government of ours stands idly and callously by and see it crushed rather than come to the rescue with protection of a pitiful two cents a pound, which this New York maca roni builder pleads for? He insists that the New York macaroni's cry of distress be heard, and that justice be done to this struggling "infant in dustry" though the stomachs of all macaroni eaters pay the penalty. These are a few of the samples of the "infant industries" that are de manding protection, of which a score or so more might be cited; but these will suffice to show to what a ridicu lous extent the protection absurdity may be, and is being carried. HUrOB MENTION The Shipping and Industrial League held a meeting in Washington Thurs day to boost the ship subsidy scheme. Forming leagues is now getting to be the order of the day when the treas ury is to be raided. Speeches were made at this league meeting favoring generous subsidies and resolutions passed also favoring a colossal sys tem of coast defences, and a navy on a grand scale, all of which in volves an expenditure of several hun dred millions of dollars. Nothing small about that league. The Pacific coast delegates figured conspicuously, a California man asserting that with a liberally subsidized merchant ma rine California could knock the spots out of Great Brittainasa commercial power, while the Alaska man said that Alaska was a delightful ship building country and a daisy place for mammoth ship-yards, if the Government will chip in freely enough. A California skipper said, that in circumnavigating the globe he never saw the American flag on but one ship and that was his own. This is a terrible commentary on the Republican protection policy which has driven the American flag from; the seas. Chicago with a population of 705, 000 has 24 railroads; Kansas City.; with a pop ulationof 105,000, 13 rail-i roads; St. Louis with a population of; 450,000, 19 railroads; Cincinnati with a population of 255.000.15 railroads: Indianapolis with a population of. 122,000, 14 railroads. There are men living in these cities now, and not old men, either, who can well remem ber when all of these cities were Comparatively little towns, and not a railroad running into any of them. In 1850 there was but one railroad running westward from Cincinnati, but onej which ran eastward, from Chi cago, none running into St. Louis, and but one west of the Mississippi, the road which was started about that time from St. Louis to Jefferson I City, the capital of the State. These figures-tell a marvelous story of the progress o the Great West. Forty vicars hence figures will tell e'fren more marvelous story qt the; .pro-J gress of Great South. The boS and' girls are living who wrll set it. It begins to look as if New York would get the - World's IFair. Boss Piatt, who for political reasons,-be- cause New York is a Democratic city), opposed the bill which was be for the State Legislature appropri ting $10,000,000 to it, succeeded in defeating it, but the defeat raised such a howl in the State, that it was reconsidered and passed. Tl with the $10,000,000 subscribed, or said to be guaranteed in the city of New York, rather gives New York the start of her most active competitor, when the matter of location comes before Congress. Its location in New York will require but a small appropriation by the Government, if any, whereas the Government will have to appropriate several millions if located at any other point. The great phosphate find of Ma rion county, Florida, is still one of the sensations down in that country. The discovery was an accident. Al bertus Vogt, a well-to-do planter and a great sportsman, residing near the town of Dunnelton, claims the honor of the discovery. Last April he put a colored boy to boring a well in a meadow on his place, and went off for a day's hunt. When he returned at night the boy informed him that at the depth of about three feet the au ger got fast and he had to quit work. Failing in the effort to remove the auger, the negro was ordered to dig it out. He had not spaded far before he unearthed teeth and bones, which he carried to Mr. Vogt. Vogt became interested, had the digging continued and found a mass of bones. To him this meant something, but he went with his family on a pleasure trip and gave it no further attention until his return m June, when he had several analyses made by competent chemists, all of whom pronounced the samples sent phosphates of the highest order. He then took a capi talist of Ocala into his confidence, and together they pursued the in vestigation and the boring, demon strating that the deposit was of wide extent and of unknown depth. At the place of discovery a bore of seventeen feet did not go through the layer, and at another place a bore of fifty-two feet did not go through it. A company was at once formed which controls 40,000 acres, with a 'capital of $1,500,000, which it is proposed to increase to $20,000, 000, and other companies have also been organized, land running up in the meantime to taDuious prices, and the excitement amounting to al most a craze. It is said to be the greatest phosphate discovery ever made. Vogt and his brother made $100,000 each out of it to begin with. STATE TOPICS. The New Berne Journal speaks of the farm of Messrs. Hackburn and Willet, near that city as one of the model farms of the State. It is both a truck and a stock farm, where trucking and dairying are carried on extensively. Everything about it, its well kept fences, its neat and sub stantial barns, broad pastures covered with clover, timothy and other grasses upon which the stock are fed, indi cates good management, thrift and prosperity. The cows are blooded Holsteins, forty of which are milked daily Thi.: ic thr l-JnH rf forming o I which we like to read about, and we publish it as an evidence of the fact that North Carolina is adapted to diversified farming in all sections, and that grass is a sure and reliable crop in the far east as well as in the centre and far west. CURRENT COMMENT. If Mr. Blair should add a special clause to his bill providing for the education of Speaker Reed it might pass. Phil. Times, Ind. Some of our Republican con temporaries are having a good time answering Mr. Carlisle's sledgeham mer facts and reasoning. They re mind us of the contest of the ram and the swinging-beetle. The ram had a good time as long as his head lasted. Phil. Record, Dent. The North Carolina Derao- cratic Congressman who in forty years never recommended a relative to office deserves a monument, but the subscription to it would not be swelled much by the present Admin istration. Louisville Courier- Jour nal, Dent. Now it is the manufacture of edge tools that is to be made a mo nopoly. But, if it should pay well, what is to prevent John Doe and Richard Roe from forming a part nership and going into the business ? It ought to be understood by this time that there can be no monopoly, except one founded upon - special Government grants of some kind or secret discoveries or inventions. Phil. Ledger, Ind. SOME SMALL CHANGE. How a Smart Y&mi'JWoman on u Confederate Wote. Banked She was a sweet-faced, demure lit- tie wotnan, and as, she' sat;in the la dies' waiting room of the Pennsylva nia Railroad, in Jersey City, more than one man had his eyes on her and wondered who she was. By and fy a young iria'n in a' check suit and carrying a great deal of cheek, took a circuit around and sat down beside her. He had scarcely dropped into the seat before she gave him a sweet smile and inquired if he would please do her a great favor. "Ah! with all the pleasure in the world!" he made haste to reply. "I want some small change, and if you will be so kind as to take this bill and " "Certainly certainly most hap py to do so, he said as he received it and started for the ticket office. He handed it in without looking at it and asked for change, but the ticket man shoved it back with the remark: "Wonder how many more fools she will strike before her train goes?" "What do you mean?" "Look at that bill." It was a $5 confederate note; and as the young man stood staring at it with blinking eyes the ticket man added: "You are the fifth one within two hours. She brought 'em along for such an emergency, and the proper thine: for you to do is to take a back seat and make yourself as small as possible until your tram goes. The crushed young man did even better than that, he left the depot altogether, and his demenor was that of a man who intended to hunt up a pile driver and let the hammer fall upon him a half dozen times. ABSENT MINDED. How an Absorbed Denizen of Seattle Paid Hia Fair. Seattle Press The greatest absent-minded man has put in another appearance at Seattle. His first appearance here was in the form of a young man who had hurried home to change his clothes preparatory to going out for a call upon a young lady friend. While disrobbing he discovered two letters left there by the postman during his absence, and as he read he forgot himself and mechanically crawied into bed. lhis time he appears in the form of a nicely dress ed gentleman, riding in a street car. He was reading a paper,-, and as the conductor passed through the car asking, "Fsres please," he went through the usual search in all his pockets and fished out a nickel, which he handed to the condnctor, never once removing his eyes from the interesting article he was reading. New passengers board ed the car, but the reader was not disturbed, and as the conductor passed through the car, asking the new passengers, "Fares, please," the nicely-dressed, but extremely absent- minded man, mechanically dove down into his pocket, and, without taking his eyes off the paper, hand ed the conductor another nickel. No telling how often this operation would be repeated if a small boy on the other side of the car had not lauerhed and said: "Ma, see that man who is reading pay five cents every time the conductor comes round." The gentleman folded up his paper, and during the rest of his trip he sat in deep eogitation. IS THIS REALLY SO? What a Seat in the United States Senate is "Worth. The Epoch. A seat in the United States Senate is worth all the way from $25,000 to $150,000, depending upon the legis lative cattle in the State from which the applicant hails. So far as we are able to understand our Assembly and Senate at Albany, we should say that it will cost the man who wants to succeed Senator Evarts about $100,000. We are probably not. far out in stating that almost any Republican, it matters not wneiner or not uc uas any sucicti i .i i u : i ability or qualification for the office, it matters not whether or not he has had sufficient education to enable him to make his nouns agree with his verbs almost any Republican, we say, who is willing to spend as much as $150,000 can succeed Mr. Evarts, unless perchance there be another Republican who is willing to spend $151,000. Some day the people will put a stop to this farcej and then we shall get men or brain and genuine scholarship in the up per branch of Congress at Washing ton. Filing Exceptions. Raleigh News-Observer. The rule upon the subject of filing exceptions in the Supreme Court is as follows: 27. Every appellant, at the time of settling the case upon appeal, or if there -be no case settled, then, with in ten days next after the end of the term at which the judgment is ren dered from which an appeal shall be taken, or in case of a ruling of the court at chambers and not in term time, within ten days after notice thereof, shall file in the clerk's office his exceptions to the proceedings, rulings or judgment of the court, briefly and clearly stated and num bered. No other exceptions than those so filed and made part of the record, shall be considered by this court, except exceptions to the juris diction or because the complaint does not state a -cause of action, or motions in arrest of the insufficiency of an indictment.
