By WILLIA5I II. BERNARD. WILMINGTON, N. C. Sunday Morning, May 3, 1891 THE LESSOR OF EXPERIENCE. The campaign of education has been progressing in this country, and the people have learned much about the things they didn't know, and many of them have been educated out of the errors into which they had been led by the quack states men in whom thev trusted. In the West this educating process has been carried on on a more extensive scale than in other sections of the country, and with very notable re sults, one evidence of which is the phenomenal Democratic majority that will sit in the lower House of the 52d Congress. But while the educational work has been carried on more earnestly and systematically in the West than in other sections, this is not the only section where its effects have been felt, for in all sections its influence has been felt more or less. Even New England which was at one time such a worshipper at the shrine of the protection idol, has learned some thing from it, but learned something, too, in the instructive but costly school of experience. There for many years the protective tariff was an ac cepted dogma of political faith by an overwhelming majority of the peo ple, and they had no patience with and questioned the patriotism of the man who differed from them and refused to accept that dogma. The manufacturers who were benefitted by it were its zealous advocates and defenders, and the farmers upon whom it levied tribute were per suaded to believe, and in their un sophisticated innocence did believe, that the tribute they paid would re sult in building up their home mar kets, creating a demand for the pro ducts of their farms, giving them better prices and also enhancing the value of their farms, thus not only returning them the tribute they paid but enriching them. They be lieved this and year after year un questioningly marched to the ballot boxes and deposited their ballots for the men who advocated a high pro tective tariff and more of it, and felt if they were doing themselves and their country good service. For a time the manufacturers flourished, but the farmers in the midst of all these "home markets" from which they were led to expect so much, did not flourish. They not only did not flourish but they did the very reverse, they got poor, and grew poorer, until they by tens "and hundreds and thousands had to abandon the farms which they could not sell and seek a livelihood at other callings. To-day in that high ly protected section ot the country there are thousands of abandoned farms almost within sight of the "home markets." Some of them have found tenants in the Canadian immigrants who have been enticed by the low rental or low purchase price asked, while ineffectual at tembts have been made to colonize - - therewith imported Poles,; So much for protection to the farmer. But the farmer is not the onlv sufferer. Even the manufac- turers who for awhile flourished, when they had no competition at home have since begun to reap the results of too much protection They are suffering now for the want of free raw material'to enable them to hold their own with manufac tories which are more favorably situated, and as they can't get the free raw material which they need, manv factories are closing: their doors, or moving to more favored sections. The Boston Advertiser, an organ of the protectionists, takes occasion from time to time to lecture the farm ers of New England on the decay of agriculture in that section, assuming that it is to be attributed to the bad methods among the farmers. The Massachusetts Plowman resents the assumption of the protection organ and while, admitting the fact, that the farming interest in New England is in decav. as evidenced by the j 7 number of abandoned farms, re minds the Advertiser that the per centage of abandoned manufacturing establishments is greater than the percentage of abandoned farms, and this not only among the cotton and woolen mills but in other industries In three towns, it says, within twentv miles of Worcester where twenty years ago there were eigh teen boot and shoe factories the Advertiser could now find but four Scores of cotton and woolen mills have been closed, the. result of com petition with the mills which have sDruner up in the South, and the high tariff on raw materials which they can't afford to pay but which thev could before thev had South ern competition to contend with. So also does the iron industry suffer from the same cause, and many of them will have to close their doors in the near future unless they can get free raw materials. New England has learned some thins: about the tariff but she has learned it after manv vears and in the costly school of bitter experi ence. MINOR MENTION. The position of Secretary Foster is not an enviable one. With available funds in the Treasury amounting to about $12,000,000, he has to meet the current expenses of the Govern ment, pensions and other maturing obligations. He professes not to feel uneasy and hopes to make arrange ments to meet all claims as they are presented, but how he is going to do this he has not yet revealed. The customs receipts have fallen off to the amount of several millions in the past quarter and the Government will lose about $16,000,000 by the repeal of the tobacco dealers' li cense tax, which went into effect Fri day last. He intimates that "on a pinch," as he expresses it, he could draw on the $100,000,000 reserve fund for the redemption of Govern ment Treasury notes, but he has no more right to tamper with that trust fund than he has to take the money appropriated to run the Post office Department, or to maintain the Army and the Navy. There is no law to authorize the use of that fund for any other purpose than the purpose for which it was intended and he has no right to touch a dollar of it. By doing so to save the Government's credit, as he expresses it, he would injure its credit more than he would help it by destroying public confidence in the Government's trust funds to meet the bonds it puts upon the market. Secretary Foster may have succeeded pretty well as a country storekeeper before he launched out into politics, in which he succeeded pretty well, too, but in tackling such a Dig: ioD as runnine: tne financial Department of this Government, right on the heels of Tom Reed's Billion dollar Congress he ought to go slow ana seek counsel ot the wise. B. P. Hutchinson, "Old Hutch," as he was familiarly known in Chicago, where for years he had been the king of the grain market, is king no more. He has got to the end of his rope and may possibly end his days in an insane asylum. A short while ago he was rated to be worth all the way from $5,000,000 to $20,000,000, but for some time -he has been in vesting so recklessly and losing so heavily that his friends began to fear that he was becoming mentally unbalanced and he was persuaded to make over some of his property to his family.. This he did out of the million or so that hadn't gone by the board. A few days ago he suddenly left the city, without any previous intimation, when inquiry developed the fact that he had bought a ticket for Pensa cola Fla. He was found at Evans ville, Ind. His case is another strik ing illustration of the. reverses of fortune and how quickly the man of millions may tumble irom his height to the level of the scrambling crowd below, whose fortunes it was once in his power to make and unmake. Frank Lesliis Illustrated Newspa per, which is partly owned and edito rially controlled by Russell B. Har rison, son of Benjamin has been for some time engaged in the interest ing occupation of booming (indirect ly) President Harrison for a second term, and relegating Mr. Blaine as a possible candidate for the Presiden cy. A short while ago it published an article "on the best authority" giving President Harrison credit for the fiim stand which this Govern ment had taken in the affair with Italy, which was a backhanded swipe at Blaine, to whom the public was giving the credit in that matter. This it followed up a few days ago with another article asserting that Mr. Blaine could not possibly be come a candidate for the nomination and could not consent to the use of his name in that connection, plainly intimating that when Mr. Blaine ac cepted a place in the Cabinet that he thereby obligated himself to play second fiddle to Mr. Harrison, and under no circumstances come in the way of that gentleman's ambition. Perhaps this article is inspired by the "best authority," too. But whether or not it is evident that Harrison & Son intend to run Blaine off the track if they can do it. state Topics. The Greensboro papers announce the organization of a company com posed of citizens of this and other States, to be known as the Greens boro Coal Mining Comdany, the pur pose of which is to open up and work the Dan river mines, lands for which they control in and about Walnut Cove, Stokes county. There has been considerable prospecting done, a number of experimental shafts sunk, and a small amount of coal mined, more for the purpose of testing its quality than anything else. The coal mined is of a fine quality, semi-bituminous, and free from foreign matter. The veins which underlie the surface where this company will operate are ample to supply an inexhaustible quantity of coal, and if it can be mined and de livered in North Carolina towns in the central part of the State as cheaply as it is said it can be done, there is no reason why this company should not do a large and a profit able business. CURRENT COMMENT. Edward Atkinson, the Bos ton economist, is telling the public how to live on the half of what it now consumes. What the average man would like to know is how to get double his present allowance. Knoxville Tribune, Dem. Already, more than a year in advance of the campaign of 1892, the papers that follow the tariff party have raised the cry ot "Tin, Tin, American Tin'" In 1884 their cry was for "soap;" and in 1888 it was for "fat." Any name will do, since the thing itself is sufficiently understood by the tariff spoilers. Phil. Record. Dem. Secretary Foster "guesses' that Director Leech is "about right in the main," and that the gold re serve in the Treasury might be used for current expenses "on a pinch." Mr. Foster had better guess again. People who use trust funds for pur poses other than those of the trust usually do it "on a pinch," but that is not held to excuse them. And the same rules of business, honor and prudence apply to a govern ment only more so A bank presi dent who made a "guess" like this would be apt to get himself in "a pinch." Phil. Times, Ind. As the owner of the world's greatest "navee," and from her in sular position necessarily more de pendent on that navy than any other nation on its ships, Great Britain is concerned to know if the Chilian torpedo is going to be a continuous element of destruction to armor plated vessels, and, if so, what is the value of her own torpedo as a de fensive weapon. Great Britain is therefore looking into that little af fair of the Huascar and Blanco with considerable concern, and for obvi ous reasons we take a deep interest in the investigation ourselves. Washington Star, Ind. HE TOOK IT BACK. And Made the Apology Full and Ample. A prominent official at Tabreez. in the course of an altercation with an English gentleman, savs Persia and the Persians, called his adver sary a liar. The result was a chal- lenge, wnicn seemea to tne Persian preposterous. "I fip-ht!" said he. "What shall I fight for? I only called him a liar." wen, saia tne gentleman wno took the note to him, "he says you will have to fight him; there is no way of getting out of it. It will never do to call an English gentle man a liar." 'But, I say I won't fight," replied the other. "Then you must apologize." , "Apologize! What does he mean by apologizing?" "Why, take it all back, and say that you are sorry that you called him a liar. That is what it means." "Is that all!" replied the Persian. "Of course I'll apologize. I'll say whatever he wishes me to say. l lied when I called him a liar. I am a liar, the son of a liar, and the grandson of liars. What more does he want me to say?" LONGEVITY OF ANIMALS. Some Which Attained Pretty Bes pec table Years. La Nature. What is the maximum longevity of animals? It has been found that the herbivores, are generally longer-lived than the carnivores. Thus, an ass died a few years ago at Cromarty at the age of 106 years. It had belonged to the same family since 1779. We have a record of several horses that reached the age of 40, 50 or more years. A tow horse died at Wash ington at the age of 62 years Another horse died at New York aged 38 years, and had worked up to nearly its last moment. At Philadelphia there was a mule that reached the respectable age of 42 years. Another mule, aged be tween 40 and 45 years is still work ing at a place near San Francisco. A ewe, born at Kaihnowitz in 1829, remained fertile for 20 years, and died in 1850. As for carnivores, a Spanish slut recently died in Amen ca at the age of 29 years, and the case is cited of a cat that died at the age of 22 years and 2 months. OUR STATE CONTEMPORARIES. Whenever the fools of this country come to realize the fact that no com bi nation however great can fix the prices for the masses, one step will be gained on the road to ratationausm Supply and demand fix the price of every article, whether of manufactured, agricultural or other products. Salis- L T Jl uur y i rum. A telegram was received here last night by Mr. W. 5. Primrose from Judge Geo. H. Howard, announcing that Capt. E. R. Stamps died at Tar- boro last night at 9:40 o clocW. Yesterday was his birthday and he was 47 years of age. The announce ment will cause profound sorrow in many hearts. Raleigh News and Ob server. In the criminal court of Charlotte there was a case recently that showed the value of a spotless character. One man was tried for killing a negro. He proved as good a character as any man in the county could have established, and he was fined only $100. Another man. who proved to be a fellow of bad character, was tried for simply assault ing a man. and he was also fined $100. Concord Times. Concord Times: Full particu lars have been received ot the murder committed Wednesday of last week in Stanly county, near the Cabarrus line, of which we could publish only a mea gre account in our last issue. It seems that Green Henly and John Fisher were in a dispute about some reports that had been circulated in the neigh borhood. Henly called Fisher a liar, and the latter returned the epithet. Henly then started toward Fisher, when Fisher raised a horse pistol he was carry ing and shot Henly in the neck. Sev eral persons were present, but Fisher cooly walked off and is now in parts un known. Henly was taken home and died in about two hours. Fisher went home, took his gun, pistol and coat. Two hours afterwards he was seen about two miles southeast walking rap idly. He has not yet been appre hended. POLITICAL POINTS. Of course nothing short of Mr. Blaine's own positive inhibition will pre vent the bulk of his party considering him as its candidate for President. N. Y. World, Dem. Harrison, with the aid of the railroad, is now doing the best running in a political way he's ever likely to ac complish. There may be a warm wel come at the station, but it is dreadful cold at the polls. Phil. Times, Ind. It is perfectly safe to assume that if James G. Blaine does write a letter refusing the use of his name as a Presidential candidate, that letter will have a string tied to it that is perfectly visible to the naked eye. Indianapolis Sentinel, Dem. Straws continue to show which way the wind is blowing in Massachu setts. At present the Boston press is discussing, with every evidence of as tonishment, the fact that nearly all the prominent Republicans in the State have declared their strong disinclination to accept a nomination for the Govern orship this fall, when Gov. Russell will again be the candidate of the Demo crats. N. Y. Commercial Advertiser, Tnd. Poor, pretty, little, blue-eyed baby ! How he coughs!
