BERNARD. WILMINGTON, N. C. Saturd.-". Morning, Feb. 7, 1891. CITY VERSUS COUNTRY. The census for 1890 develops the tact that the growth of our cities in population is out of all proportion to the growth of population in the country at large. The per centage of increase for the whole country was 24.SG. If the increase in the towns and cities were deducted from per centage outside of the towns and cities to be considerably smaller. In some States the rural popula tion has barely held its own while many counties show an actual de crease, other counties which show an increase are counties in which there are towns of some importance and it is in these that the increase is found This occurs, too, in States where we would not expect to find it, States which have many large manufactur ing cities to give "home markets" and abundant and quick to railroad transportation to reach them without delay with the products of the farm. New York, the great Empire State, is one of these. The census shows that twenty-two of the agri cultural counties of that State have actually lost population within the past decade, some of them as many as G,000, none less than 1,000. The loss of the twentytwo foots up 45, 000. The Porter census was a bung ling affair, it is true, and these figures may not be correct, but even it one-half of this were true, it re veals a deplorable situation. If this were confined to one or two States it would not be a matter of sexmuch concern but it is not. In the States of Vermont and New Hampshire there are hundreds of abandoned farms. In the finest ag ricultural districts of Pennsylvania a large number of counties show an ac tual decrease of the rural' population, the increase, if any, being in the towns. The same is true of Ohio, where the assessed value of farming lands, is less than it was ten years ago, the only increase being in counties where natural gas was found and where a speculative value was given to land. The reason for this decrease is that people are getting tired of the farms, discouraged with the poor results of their labor, and are abandoning them for the cities, where life, at' least in their fancy, has more comfort and pleasure and labor better reward. This disposition to leave the farm and crowd into the cities is evidence of dissatisfaction with life on the farm which is not confined to any particular section, although it is more forcibly manifested in some sections than in others. Agriculture is depressed in the country at large, and as a money making business, while here and there a farmer may make money, it is a fail- ! are. There is not one farmer in fifty, counting the capital he has in vested in his farm, stock, and farm ing implements and allowing reason able compensation for his labor and labor of his wife and children, who gets one-half the Day that men m other employments do. It is not surprising, then, that so many young men tire of the farm and look to a future ori'it with dread. There are reasons, however, for the general depression, very good ones, and reasons also why the de pression is greater in some sections than in others. In the great agricultural section of this country known as the Great West, the staple crops are wheat, corn and oats, which with horses, mules, hogs and sheep, are the sources of income. Horse and mule raising are specialties of a few of these States, while so little attention is given to sheep culture that it can scarcely be ranked as an industry. The great dependence of the West ern farmer is on his wheat, corn, oats and hogs. Before the high protective tariff of the Republican party became the established policy of the government the Western farmer had the markets of the world open for his surplus grain, beef and pork. This high tariff which to a great extent cut off his foreign markets, confied him to the so-called "home market" which can not consume the product of his fields, pastures or pens, and the result has beeu a glutted market and low prices while the high tariff put up the prices of what he had to buy. He was compelled to sel in the lowest market ana to buy in the highest market, the buyer fixing the price in the first instance and the seller fixing the price in the sec ond instance, while the farmer be came the helpless victim in both Then began the general depression which has been increasing ever since as the destructive policy has been pursued. In addition to this the farmers o the older States were thrown into competition with farmers of the Western States who were seeking a market for their products, and the railroads did the business for rhem Western grain and meat could be landed in their towns for less money than they could raise them, and the consequence was that the Western farmer and meat packer monopol ized trie markets tnat were once supplied by the farmers of the older States, where the average farm soon . Kip TTt-ii t H abandoned farms in some of these States and the diminished rural pop ulation in others. While this tariff system prevails which forces the Western farmer to depend on his "home market" this will continue, and the next census will show the same situation, that is the cities growing at the expense of the country, a very unhealthy state of affairs. MINOR MENTION. In the discussion of the fortifica tions bill in the Senate a few days ago Senator Hawley drew a hair lifting sketch of the exposed vand helpless condition of our seaport cities which, he said, were complete ly at the mercy of any foreign fleet which might attack them. England, he exclaimed, could in twenty-four hours mass a powerful fleet in our waters and at the word of command either destroy New York or any other seaport city, or levy such tri bute on it as she saw fit, and we were powerless to resist. If such fleet should come, he asked, "What are you going to do about it?" The New York Commercial Advertiser, which holds forth in tthe city -of Gotham, one of those terribly exposed burgs to which Mr. Hawley refers, answers his question by informing him that in such an emergency, when the first gun was fired at one of our towns by a British cruiser the United States would proceed instantly, or thereabouts, to confiscate every dol lar's worth of property held by British subjects in Uncle Samuel's bailiwick, and that as the property of one kind and another owned by Englishmen in this country now amounts to something over a billion dollars, her Britannic Majesty's Gov ernment will think several times be fore it issues any order for hard shot or shells to be tossed into any of our towns. This billion dollars invested by Engltshmen make a pretty good fortification for our sea ports, at least as far as England is concerned, and England seems to be about the only power that Senator Hawley and the big fortification boomers seem to be afraid of. The Senate, Thursday, passed the Pension bill for the current year. It calls for $135,095,085 to pay pen sions, examining surgeons, pension agents and clerk hire. When asked whether this would be sufficient Sen- ator Allison replied that he thought it would, but that there might be a deficiency of five, six, eight or ten millions. This shows that Mr. Alli son gives himself pretty wide range. between five and ten millions, and also suggests that he , has no approximate idea of what the deficiency may be. -It may run up to twenty-five or thirty'millions for no one has the slightest idea of the number of applications that will be filed under the last pension act. The number already filed is more than twice as great as the advocates of the bill estimated when it was under discussion. Two hundred thousand was the outside limit,but the applica tions filed up to January 1st number 529,000, and they are still coming in about ten times as fast as they can be heard and passed upon. The fact is the Republican Statesmen have been going it blind on this pen sion business. They were looking more at the soldier's vote in prospect than at the millions they were vot ing away. i he accomplishment of the re ciprocity treaty between the United States and Brazil, announcement of which was made in the press dis patches Thursday, opens the way to the making of similar treaties with the other South and Central Ameri can countries, which will doubtless be done at no distant day. This removes for Brazil, as it will for other countries south of us, the only serious obstacle to trade with this country which now unhampered by tariff restrictions is free to compete with rivals from the other side of the water. Now let Canada be included in the reciprocity scheme and then with continental free trade if Ameri can enterprise don't sweep the deck it will be its own fault. Senator-elect Peffer, of Kansas, is sound on the tariff question, he is sound on the silver question, and. his head is level on the race question in the bouth, which seems to have given so many of the Republican statesmen so much trouble. If that question should again come before the Senate the Republican salons can't count on much aid and com fort from him. He struck the mar row when he expressed himself as follows in discussing the race prob lem: The race issue is for the Southern people to settle among themselves. If we had it in Kansas, we would resent in icriereTjce num outSiae. it is un. Northern or Western issue, and the peo ple wno are lace to tace with its difficul ties should be let alone in their methods of dealing with it. I have lived in a Southern community, and I know what the problem is. Let it alone, and the two races will come to an agreement far - - t . . -. more satisiactory, intellectually, morally ana m every other way, than any that can be forced by Federal legislation or Northern lecturing. STATE TOPICS. 1 here seems to be some doubt whether the usury law now before the Legislature will pass, and it is conceded that the vote will be close. In a measure of this kind the Legis lature should move with a great deal of caution and look before it leaps, iesu in tne enort to do wnat it sup poses to be good it do harm. Usury laws seldom accomplish the purpose for which they are intended, for there are too many ways to evade them to which the borrower is quite as willing to assent as the lender is to take advantage of. The rate of interest is governed by the demand for money and the supply. When money is abundant interest is low, when it is scarce interest is high. The law which puts the rate of interest low as a tendency to keep capital out and make it high. If the laws of all the States were uniform they might accomplish something, but they are not, and when a man can transfer his capital from one State where the rate of interest is not satisfactory to an other where it is he is apt to do so. We have a usury law in North Carolina and-the fact that another is asked for is an admission that this one has failed to accomplish the purpose for which it was enacted, as the one now proposed in all probability will if passed. CURRENT COMMEN" The census at least does Kentucky the justice to admit that the State has 400 v square miles ot water. In many parts of the coun try it is supposed that water is un known here. Louisville Courier -Journal, Dem. The Republican papers throughout the country are nearly unanimous in condemning Senator Don Cameron; but with character istic Republican consistency they do not object to his "silver pool" dis honesty at all. They merely , con demn his action in voting the elec tion bill intQ its grave. Chicago Mail, Dem. Mr. Frye thinks Canada as an enemy would not amount to a row of pins; while Mr. Hawley thinks that 500,000 volunteers as against a British fleet would not be worm a single last year's bifd's-nest. These being the respective situations, it is apparent that the war, whichever -side may start it, would be a short one painfully short, in fact, from a pension agent s standpoint. r'hila- delphia Record, Dem. -r The United States Govern- ment wants one thousand two hun dred men to serve as sailors, does it? Well, a man who is any sort of a man at all. and everv seaman should be that, can earn on land at least 3845 a month; now, if the government will pay $30 a month and board, it can get good men who will be a credit to the country. As it now is, plenty ot men and good men, are expected to work hard to submit to disagreeable discipline at wages so mean that a decent private corporation would not think of offering them to any appli cant except a tramp. Wash. Star, Ind. THE AUDITOR'S REPORT. Raleigh News and Observer. We are indebted to Auditor San- derlin for a copy of his report, the introductory letter to which and the tables are both interesting and in structive. Omitting Mitchell county the re turns show 150,746 white polls and 65.878 colored polls, being 216,624. The State taxes paid by the farms amount to $262,871; by town lots $83,934. Money on hand $9,949; and solvent credits $50,476. The total State taxes were $594,192. Among the school taxes the white polls $225,000; colored polls $97,847; general property, white citizens, $278,234; colored citizens $6,806. Licenses, $83,711. The total school taxes were $717,182. The total county taxes were $889,- 348. The total taxes of the State not counting town taxes amount to $2,200,000. The land in the State is assessed at 105,000,000 and town lots at S33,57o,000. It seems rather ex traordinary that our city property should be worth nearly one-third as much as the lands of the State. Ihere was $3,979,000 money on hand or on deposit, and $20,000,000 of solvent credit. There are sixty railroads paying taxes with 3,099 miles; net tax val uation $12,424,540, and they pay $48,890 taxes. In the introductory letter the Auditor makes some in teresting suggestions, particularly in relation to pensions. SEAL BREEDING GROUNDS. J. G.

There is no doubt about the fact that the McKinley bill is doomed to meet with a severe ripping ud the back in the next Congress, as the tidal wave that swept over the country at the No vember election has thrown enough votes on the side ot the tariff reformers to enable the Democrats to amend the outrageous scheme of robbery, and they will spare no efforts to lift from the people the burdens that the bill imposed upon them.
