BERNARD. WILMINGTON, N. C. Thursday Morning. Feu. 26, 1891. MORTGAGED FARMS. A bulletin recently issued by the census department shows the mort gaged indebtedness of the State of Iowa to be on January 1st, 1891, $199,034,957, that of Alabama $30, 037,893. This is to be followed up by similar bulletins showing the mortgaged indebtedness of the other States. These two States are selected for comparison, we presume, because they are representative agricultural States, one from the West, the other from the South. In size there is not murh difference, Iowa containing 35,504,000 acres, Alabama 32,985 000 acres. The average amount of indebtedness per capita in Alabama is $20, in Iowa $104. The rate of interest varies in Alabama from 1 to 40 per cent., in Iowa from 1 to 20. This 1 per cent, is simply a blind to cover the real amount of interest paid by mutual agreement, as there is no money loaned at 1 per cent. The 40 per cent, rate in Ala bama, refers, doubtless, to those cases where farmers buy their sup plies on time and are charged much .more for tbem than if they bought for cash, the difference in price being counted as interest. The 20 per cent, rate in Iowa is based partly on the same reason, although the notes of farmers are frequently discounted at that much and sometimes even more. But it is interest all the same whether it is paid in money as such, or in the price of the supplies bought on credit. The question might be asked how can the average farmer, North or South, pay these rates of inter est, when the money to pay it must come out of ;his own la bor and out of the crops he raises? In Iowa $104 per capita means $520 to the head of the .average family of five, in Alabama $130. The Alabama man is in a much bet ter fix to pay his $130 than the Iowa man is to pay his $520, for Alabama with her coal lands and iron lands is moving onward, while lowa is at a standstill if not retrograding. What ever the outlook may be to the Ala bama tiller of the soil, there is noth ing encouraging m it to the lowa farmer. When the tariff bill was under dis cussion in the Senate, and one of the Senators who was, opposing it re ferred to Iowa as one of the States which was suffering from agricultural depression, Senator Allison in dignantly denied it and insist ed that the farmers of his State were prosperous. If farmers who owe $199,134,957 are prosper ous what must be the condition of those other Western States, which it -is conceded are not prosperous? In some of them the rrmrro-ao-pH ;nfK- edness will more than double that of Iowa.- We may have a realizing sense of what this amount of indebtedness means when, we consider what the means are to pay it, where the in terest and principal are to come from. Land is not increasing iq value now in Iowa, and if put up'for sale would not bring any more than it would have brought ten years ago, and possibly not as much. So the embarrassed farmer cannot sell part of his farm and get money enough out of it to pay off his mort gage. If the lands had apprciated in value he might do this, but they have not, so that he is compelled to depend upon the products of his farm, the prices of which for years have been ranging so low that the margin for profit is so small, if there is any margin at all, that it is practi cally nothing. Allow - reasonable wages for himself, for his wife, who in many cases is a hard worker, and for the boys who helD more or less in the work on the farm; then count interest on the money invested in the farm, farming machinery and stock and there will be no margin. He raises wheat, corn and oates. He raises hogs to slaughter for pork, and occasionally some cattle for market. He raises pork not because there is much pro fit in it, but because that is the best way to market his corn, which at the ruling prices would hardly pay him to haul to market. Oats don't pay much better, while the market price of wheafcTcompared with the cost of cultivating, harvesting, threshing and delivery in market, leaves but a small margin over the actual cost. But this is what the farmers of that State have to depend upon to pay a debt of $199,034,957 with annual in terest varying from 1 to 20 per cent., the average rate being probably 12 or 15 per cent. No wonder the Iowa farmer is gloomy, no wonder that he and other Western farmers are de manding relief, and that in their des peration they sometimes go to what may be pronounced wild extremes. MINOR MENTION. Senator Gorman in the Senate Tuesday very properly denounced the proposition of Senator Chandler to place in the hands of the Presi dent unexpended balances and other sums to the amount of $250,000 for the prevention of epidemics. The bill to aid the construction of the cable between San Francisco and the Kingdom of Hawaii, puts $250, 000 a year into his hands which with thistadditional $250,000, if it had been agreed to, would have given him control of half a million dollars. Mr. Harrison might dispose of it honestly, and with a strict view to the purposes for which it was put into his hands. The presumption may be that he would, and again he might not. It is a well known fact that he is a candidate for re nomination, and if he was so dis posed he could turn this money to account in securing support in the convention and yet use every dollar of it for the purposes for which it was intended, or he might squander a large portion of it if he were dis posed to do so. We would not like to believe that he would and yet to place so much money in the hands of a man who is a candidate for high office is simply to tempt him to make misuse 8f it. Mr. Gorman very properly condemned the proposition and the Senate very properly agreed with him by rejecting it. Ex-Gov. Foster, of Ohio, who suc ceeds the late Secretary Windom, as Secretary of the Treasury, is a bi metalist, but opposed to the free coinage of silver, even if confined to the product of our own mines. If he had been in favor of free coinage he would not have been tendered the place, because he would not be in accord with the President nor with his party, and a free coinage Secre tary would be decidedly out of place m an anti-free-coinage administra tion. He thinks that the present law requiring the coinage of $G0, 000,000 silver annually is sufficient to meet the increasing demands of the country for more circulating medium, but this is as far as he is willing to go until the world is ready to undertake some movement by which all civilized countries will recognize both metals, something which he will wait a very long time to see. Six hours is the time allowed by the ship subsidy boomers in the House for debate on the subsidy Six hours to debate a question which will involve the expenditure of $200,- 000,000 which the people will have to pay before they get through with it to men who want to go into the ship-building and ship-running busi ness. Of course it is absurd to sup pose that such a measure can be properly considered or intelligently discussed in these few hours but it is not the intention that it shall jieJ fairly discussed or considered, for if it were it wouldn't stand the ghost of a chance of passing. But they intend to run it through after a mock debate, under their gag rule, as they have, run all their partisan schemes and treasury looting jobs. It is their last chance and they are taking advantage of'it. The looters know that if they do not pass it now it will go to its grave and be heard of no more. In the Senate Tuesday, Senator Allison who has charge of the regu lar appropriation bills said that it would take every hour of the time at the disposal of the Senate between now and the end of the session to get through with the remaining ap propriation bills without touching anything tlse. if there had been less time consumed in the effort to pass the infamous Force bill and gag rule, which took up more than half the session, there would have been ample time to examine and give due consideration to the appropriation bills, without hurrying them through with but little investigation as those Dassed have been and as those to be passed will be. The result is that millions of dollars will have been appropriated that might not have been if there had been ample time for investigation and discussion. The partisan scheming of Mr. Hoar and those who backed him has cost this country a good deal of money. STATE TOPICS. North Carolina must be represent ed at the World's Fair, for it will present an opportunity of exhibiting her resources of which even as a matter of business, not to speak of State pride, she should not fail to take advantage. The $25,000 asked for is the smallest appropriation yet proposed in any State nd is not enough to furnish ground for oppo sition. The only objection we have yet seen to it is by the Progressive Farmer, and that is on the ground that it is too small, and not enough to insure such an exhibit as the State should have. But with $25,000 judi ciously expended, and the co-opera tion of citizens of the State who are interested in. the State's showing up well, the exhibit may not only be a good but a very fine one, and the money will be well invested. CURRENT COMMENT." At the last session of Con gress reckless pensions and a big ri ver and harbor job were the means resorted to for scattering the sur plus. This session brings subsidies and. increased salaries to the front to convert t the remnant of the surplus into a deficit. Nero York World, Dcm. The latest census shows 45,- 000 convicts confined in the jails and penitentiaries of the United States. "This is a sad commentary on the age in which we live," sighs the Home Visitor. It is, brother, it is. It is a still sadder commentary, how ever, that many, many more people who ought to be convicts can not be included in that category. Chicago Mail, Dem. The "Shipping bill" is what the advocates of steamship subsidy call their job. Why are they so chary of giving the thing its right name? Are they ashamed to tell the public frankly thatthe object of this scheme is to give a large Treasury bounty to owners of American-built steamships and sailing vessels for every ocean voyage these ships may make? The proper title of this al leged "shipping bill" would be: "An act to establish a gigantic monopoly of ocean transportation at the ex pense of the people of the United States." Phil. Record. Dem. Undisputed Merit. The great success of the Royal Bak ing Powder is due to the extreme care exercised by its manufacturers to make it entirely pure, uniform in quality, and of the highest leavening power. All the scientific knowledge, care and skill, at tained by a twenty years' practical ex perience are contributed toward this end, and no pharmaceutical preparation can be dispensed with a greater accuracy, precision and exactness. Every article used is absolutely pure. A number of chemists are employed to test the strength of each ingredient, so that its exact power and effect in combination with its co-ingredients is definitely known. Nothing is trusted to chance, and no person is employed in the pre paration of the materials used or the manufacture of the powder, who is not an expert in his particular branch of the business. As a consequence, the Royal Baking Powder is of the highest grade of excellence, always pure, wholesome and uniform in quality. Each box is exactly like every other, and will retain its powers and produce the same and the highest leavening effect in any climate, at any time. The Government Chem ists after having analyzed all the princi pal brands in the market, in their re ports placed the Royal Baking Powder at the head of the list for strength, purity and wholesomeness, and thou sands of tests all over the country have further demonstrated the fact that its qualities are, in every respect, unrivaled.

A Trusted Party Failed to Carry Out In- ... . struotionB. . Franklin (Pa.) News. General John "A. Wiley rises up every now and then in the .middle of the night (and kicks himself -when he thinks how near he once came to be ing a millionaire. It was through no faultf of his own that his plans miscarried, but all on account of a trusted party failing to carry out in structions! It happened about ten years ago, on a trip with a friend through the Southwest, when the mining fever was at its heigth. They were afTucson, Ari., where prospec tors were as thick as Democrats in Texas, and had talked to some of them who! had the "best thing in the world" for sale. Finally a man put in an appearance who said he was positive th't he had a big thing; that he had two claims, sixty miles from there, in which was a rich de posit of copper that would assay $75 in silver to the ton; there was a hog backed mountain on the claims which he had tapped in a straight line if four different places and struck copper each time. The man's talk had the true ring, but, like most of the prospectors, he was without money. He had a fine gold watch, and this he put up to guarantee the expenses of the two days' journey by wagon in case the property was not what he claimed They paid his expenses at the hotel and the next morning started off on the trip. Arriving there, they found even thing to be as he had represent ed, and arranged to buy the two claims outright for $8,000, the Gen eral agreeing to take a-quarter inter est for himself. They had travelling with them a young man in whom ihey had confidence, and to him they entrusted the details of the arrange ment, as they wished to proceed home and had found means of re turning to Tucson at once. So the agreement was drawn up, and the young man and the prospector were to go to Tombstone, eighty miles in an opposite direction, where the money had been deposited subject to the young man's check, with positive instructions for him to pay the money and close the deal. The General and his companion arrived home, but three weeks hav ing passed by and the letter that they longed for not having come, they telegraphed their agent to as certain the cause of his delay in for warding the papers. He answered that he had sent a letter. When it came they learned from its contents that he had not settled the matter, having come to the conclusion that it was best, in his judgment, not to purchase the claims. And this, too, from a man who had received posi tive instructions to close the deal. Well, shortly afterward an agent of Flood and Mackey came along gave the poor prospector a cool $100,000 and the retention of a one eighth interest for his claims, and entered into an agreement with the millionaire to work the mine on a ceitain percentage. The company was stocked for $12,000,000. So, you see, the General's one-fourth interest would have stood him $3,000,000. The "Copper Queen " is still a great mine, while it is said that the agent who took the contract of working the same has pulled out as high as $60,000 in one month for his per centage. POLITICAL POINTS. What a travesty upon popular government is it to have a party which was overwhelmingly repudiated by the people last Fall still passing laws by the arbitrary rulings of the Speaker, making fat berths for life lor discarded Republi cans, and increasing their salaries. Eng land under a monarchy is more Repub lican, than this. New York Herold, Detn. An additional Democratic Con gressman was elected in the Second district of Rhode Island on Saturnay without opposition. Five years ago the Republicans would have elected their Congressman practically without a con test; now the Republican candidate de clined because the battle was hopeless and the election of a Democrat is allow ed dy default. New England wants tariff and tax reform and don't forget it. Philadelphia Times, Ind. Mr. Blaine's reciprocity with Brazil might be a good thing for two reasons. First, there isn't any recip rocity in it; second, Brazil hasn t ac cepted it yet. The announcement was a little "previous." Still, it afforded an opportunity to push the subsidy scheme which was perhaps what Mr. Harrison is after. What is a subsidy ? Well, when a company owns a line oi steamships and can't make it pay, some Congress man offers an appropriation bill to make up tne- dencit trom tne federal lreas- ury. New York Herald, Dem. Happy Hooslers. Wm. Timmons, postmaster of Idaville, Ind., writes : "Electric Bitters has done more for me than all other medicines combined, for that bad feeling arising from Kidney and Liver trouble." John Leslie, farmer and stockman, ot same place, says : "Find Electric Bitters to be the best Kidney and Liver medicine made me feel like a new man. ' J. W Gardner, hardware merchant, same town says: Electric Bitters is just the thing for a man who is all run down and don't care whether he lives or dies ; he found new strength, good appetite, and felt like he- had a new lease on life.

It is rumored that America is to be honored by the pope with another cardinal, Archbishop Williams, of Bos ton, being mentioned as the prelate des tined to receive this distinction.

Mr. Gladstone has three hats and three only. One is black and very old. The second is white and used only in summer. . The third is a soft felt hat, and his constant traveling companion.

IT MAKES HIM TIRED- A Pullman Car Porter Who Was Not Taken at His Face Value. Detroit Free Press. The porter of a Pullman palace car stood outside the Third Street .depot the other day, leaning agatnst a porch column with his arms folded.

"No. He doan' eben own de rail roads." "Nor he doan' own the kyar on on which he runs." "No." They were silent for a minute or two, as they looked across at him, and then the firt remarked: "He doan' eben own Misser Pull man." "No." "All dere is about it is dat when de train is about to go out Misser Pullman comes down an' says: 'Gawge, I wish you'd be second boss in dis kyar to Buffalo an' back, an' I'll gin yer fo' dollars.'

Fine Mellowed Madeiras Worth Their Weight in Gold. New York World. Two vine experts discussing the Manhattan cellar recently and the private stock of Madeira used by Herman Oelrichs in his famous ter rapin had this to say about the sher rys and Madeiras of New York. The first said: "I have $30,000 worth of wines and liquors in my cellar and while I am not boastful of it I believe it to be a fact that few, if any, other experts in this city have now a cellar that repre sents more solid wealth as well as solid worth. I have Madeiras that cost $200 a bottle and of which I know the history for 150 years. I have any number of dozen of sherrys which cost me from' $20 to $30 a quart, and while you and I can tell at a glance and by a sniff of their bouquet the respective ages of the $200 and $20 wines, you would be surprised to know how many men of excellent taste and judment in such things decidedly prefer the $20 to the $200 bottles. I do not know why it is, but the older a man gets the drier he likes his wines and the less flavor there seems to be in his favorite brands, and as for this 'aniseseed' taste in Madeira, I don't believe there are two- dozen men in New York who really like it or know why they like it."
