Z By WILLIAIS H. BERNARD. WILMINGTON, N. C. Wednesday Morning, Aug. 26, 1891 ON THE EIGHT LINE. The Alliances of the South have been for some time considering the cotton problem and what to do to get the cotton planter out of the embarrassing position in which the large ctops of the past few years have placed him. The fact that they are discussing this question, and fa- voring a reduction of acreage, or the I all but least understood and appre withholding a part of the crop from I ciated industries" they are on the market shows that they do not agree with the Alliance orators and writers who assert that that there is no over-production and that therefore over-production cannot be the cause ot the farmers' embarrassments. Whether the Alliances be able to effect anything of moment now on the lines they are running or not they are doing good for the industry . in which they are interested by the discussions and by getting the farmers to talk about acreage, supply and demand, &c, questions which have heretofore in terested too few of them, a fact to which may be attributed much of the trouble of which they complain. The farmer should have business methods, and he should know what he is doing when he plants his crop just as well as the merchant knows what he is doing when he lays in his stock of goods. The merchant doesn't shut his eyes, make no figures as to cost, nor calculation on the quantity of any particular line ot goods that he maybe able to dispose of, and order at haphazard, takings his chances on selling what he buys. If he did it wouldn't take long to land him in bankruptcy. Is it sur prising that farmers who go on year after year increasing their acre age, and the output of a staple pro duct which nearly every farmer in his section raises should get Into trouble and find himself sometime with more on his hands than he can get rid of at the cost of production ? This, is the precise position in which the cotton growers find them selves to-day, because utterly re gardless of, the demands of the world, or the ability to buy,they have gone on raising more and more cotton every year, while the price has been getting lower and lower, until now it is little above the abso lute cost of production, and they find a coming.crop of something near 8,000,000 bales lopping over a sur- plus of 1,000,000 or more bales left over from last year's crop. This folly, for that is the word to express it mildly, is not peculiar to the cotton grower, for the wheat grower, the corn grower, the oats grower, the tobacco grower, and the growers of all staple crops shut their eyes, jog along in the same old rut and plow and plant and sow and har vest giving no thought to the pro bable demand , for what he sows - plants or harvests. Any other busl- cess in the world conducted on such random methods would soon come to grief land it is not surprising that the agricultural industry -has. The unusually large grain crop of the West this year has left thefarmers there ; with an immense Surplus luctc wu-u " l"llv' . - K over and aDOVe tneir own neeus and . what the home market requires. Notwithstanding the fact that there still remained unsold 50, 000,000 bnshels of wheat they sowed as mneh if not more than they did last year. - With the wide acreage the favorable seasons have given an immense crop, the largest by consid erable harvested in ten years. For tunately for them the short crops in Europe create a demand which will require all this surplus at better prices than the farmer has received within twenty-five years, so that he becomes a gainer rather than a loser by the large crop. But 'Tie is simply fortunate in this. It is not the result of judgment or foresight, for neither he nor anyone else anticipated the accidents, so to speak, by which the grain crops in the sup ply countries of Europe fell short. As far as he is concerned it was simply an accident, which re dounded to his benefit- while it brought disaster to his brother farm er on the other side. If it were not for this the big crop would, be a dis- Stephen thinks that if the time-servers aster to him, and he wouldn't get and the demagogues remain at home, fifty cents a bushel for his wheat, or go fishing, the distinguished hat-twenty-five cents a bushel for his masher and reciprocity architect corn or oats, nor five cents a pound now recuperating at Bar Harbor will for his beef or pork. He would be be the standard bearer, and then the in precisely the same boat with his boys can whoop it up, and go into .Southern brother who shuts his eyes, plants about twice as much cotton as the manufacturers of the world have any use for and finds himself with an immense surplus of three or four million bales' on hand to keep down prices when the next crop is made. With the high prices of this year the probabilities are that there will be an' increased grain acreage next year, and the result will be, if the seasons should be favorable, a large surplus again, and unless there should be war or rumors of war to keep prices up, they will tumble and the Western grain-grower, who is re joicing now will find himself in the suds with a big surplus on his hands. . When the Alliances. of the respec tive States . consider questions line these, study the means of correcting blunders, and try to introduce sound business methods In this greatest of right line, and are approaching per manent relief by a shorter way and a better and surer plan than anything which the sub-treasury scheme pro mises if it was in active operation to day, for there is no sub-treasury scheme which can make profitable a crop of anything which is twice as large as the market which it seeks. ' MINOR MENTION. It seems that the building in Park Place, New York, by the collapse of which thirty-five people, and how many "more is not yet known, lost their lives, was a shaky old shell that was condemned as unsafe thirteen years ago, and yet in that old. shell was placed heavy machinery on the top floors, and scores of people were daily employed In the various indus- tries that were carried on within it. On the third floor were heavy print ing presses, the jarring motion of which, would test even strong walls, and it is not surprising that under the constant vibration caused' by the operation . of these heavy presses the mortarless walls finally suddenly gave way un" der the heavy weight on the upper floors. Now the authorities talk of prosecuting the owners of the build ing, whom they hold responsible for the disaster. Perhaps they ought to be prosecuted and punished, and so also should the officers whose busi- ness it is to look after such man- traps be prosecuted and punished, if there be laws under which they could be, for permitting this hulk to stand and be used for thirteen years after it had been officially pro- nounced rotten. There is law to compel the making secure for remo- val of unsafe buildings and the offi- cers who failed to enforce it in this case are responsible for this disaster followed by the torturing death of so many human beings. One of the serious facts that Mr. McKinley and his party has to face in the present campaign in Ohio is duced sickness in those localities the decline in the price of American . more than fifty per cent., and practi wool. When the tariff was increased, cally extirpated some f the diseases which was done to humbug and catch of a fatal character which were peri the votes of the wool growers, they odically prevalent. - In : portions of. assured them that the result would be an advance in the price of wbol, which meant,of course, money in the pockets of the "wool growers. But instead of advancing as predicted the price of American wool has been going down, aid has fallen from two to three cents a pound since the new tariff went into effect The result is that the wool growers of: . Ohio alone, at-present prices, will lose about $1,300,000 on this year's clip. As may be imagined, the farmers of that State who raise wool t sell are not very enthusiastic over the Mc- Kinley tariff, nor over Mr. McKinley, who finds f it ; impossible ; to explain this slip up to their satisfaction. He is trying to dodge it by giving most of his attention to the silver f ques tion, hoping to make ; that the issue and give wool and other things that he don't like to tackle a rest, but the farmers have got that tariff bus iness in their heads and they are not staying up of nights discussing silver.- "-'";--' - Mr. Stephen W. Dorsey, of star route fame, emerges from his New Mexico cattle ranch to express the opinion that the success of the Re publican party in the next Presiden tial election depends upon the con vention which will do the nominat ing. If, he says, "the demagogues and time-servers go there, and, as they usually do, pick up some little man who dodges issues, the "party will be beaten and ought to be." This is a New Mexico left-hander for Mr. Harrison. But the Hon. the; melee with some hope of success. Like a good many other Republican politicians, the ex-Senatorial ranch man is banking on Blaine's " mag etism" to pull the party out of the mire into which it has been sunk by the tariff plunderers and the Billion Dollar treasury looters. The old concern must be in a pretty bad fix when it looks to Blaine as its savior. Since 1880 the number of cotton spindles in the South has increased from 667,854 to 2,130,823, more than three fold, the number and increase J in the respective States being as fol lows: 1891.

While all the Southern States have made marked progress in this industry it I has attained its largest oroDortions in these three States, where it is still growing and will continue to grow. We don't know how it is in Georgia and South Carolina but in this State the industry has been brought to its present proportions by the enterprise and capital of our ownpeople, com paratively little of outside "capital being invested in it, STATE TOPICS. There seems to be an unusual amount of sickness in and about Concord, typhoid fever being one of the diseases' which leads the Stand ard to remark that there must be some local cause for it. It quotes Prof. Holmes as saying that typhoid I fever is caused mainly by the infect- ed water that people drink. Prof, Holmes is undoubtedly correct, for to this may be attributed not only much of the typhoid fever, but many of the other diseases that people suf- f er from. Of course there are other causes, such as filthy premises, badly ventilated homes, the eating of un- wholesome food, &c, but bad water I does as much, if not more harm than I all these. It has been demon- strated in -what are called the malarial districts in some sections of the South and in other countries that the boring of artesian wells, yielding a supply of water not affected by the washings from the surface, has re- Eastern North Carolina whr ths wells have; been bored the health of the communities using . the water has been, materially improved. . The aim of all communities should be to have pure water if it can be secured, what- I ever the cost maybe, for it is cheaper in the end than drug bills, doctors' bills, undertakers' bills and funerals. ., CURRENT. COMMENT. : f - - It is predicted by a. promi nent bank President in New .York that early in September Government 4 per cent, bonds will be selling at 98.- If this should - prove true ' it would be the first time a bond of the United States had sold below par since" the - gloomiest period of the civil water. Not more than $18,000, 000 of these bonds have up to this time been presented for extension at 2 per cent., and it is estimated that not less than $25,000,000 will have to be taken up by the Treasury De partment. iW.

After atrial of prohibition for near ly half a century Neal Dow has come to the conclusion that birch tea would prove an antidote. One flogg ing at the whipping post would dis courage the rumsellers more than all the fines and imprisonments in the world. But what does Mr. Blaine say? N. T. Com. Advertiser, Ind. - Coincidence in certain classes of events can be pointed out almost every day. One day it may be rail wav accidents, the next fires, .the third death by balloon. Yesterday it was train robbery, trains having been "held up" in Georgia and Kan sas. Psychologists have their theo ries in regard to these things, but to the average mind it looks like a case of simultaneous eruption of the old Adam which comes with or without 'lihilosophical explanation. Wash ing ton Star, Ind. EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA. An Observant Citizen Makes Some Su gestions anL.a Pertinent Inquiry. Editor Star: Much has been said of the resources of Eastern North Carolina. It is conceded by all who have carefully considered the matter that it is by nature the great truck ing region of the Atlantic coast. It has been demonstrated that all truck crops, Irish potatoes and the small fruits, can be grown to great pertec tion and made to yield profits of hundreds of dollars per acre in this favorite section. It is also the home of many of the best varieties of grapes, which are now being profita- bly cultivated But, Mr. Editor, one of the great est and surest industries of our sec tion has hardly been touched by any one in a systematic way. The in dustry where a man can lay down from five to ten cents and take up dollar in two years has never been sought by our capitalists. Yet this can be done, and has been done by a few for so many years that it wil not admit of denial. 1 here is room for the investment of hundreds of thousands of dollars in this field. Yet this important industry is left to "dame nature." I allude tp the oyster culture. Nature has given North Carolina the finest propagating grounds in the country where the small oysters for planting are inexhaustible and all who are familiar with the facts know that every bushel of these small oysters taken to good grounds, such as lie idle in New river and a few of our sounds, grow so rapidly that in two years they more than double in quantity, and are worth from $1.50 to $2.50 per bushel. They can be taken to these grounds at a cost not exceed- ng ten cents per bushel, and when planted are not affected by hail, cy clones, floods, drought, or any of the many contingencies that affect ordi nary crops. Yet it is admitted by all, and it is a matter of great moment to the whole country, that this impor tant source of food supply is being exhausted. Will some one explain why this state of affairs exists ? Citizen. POLITICAL POINTS. The only practical effect of the McKinley tariff on wool is to reduce the price of American wool about three cents per pound and to increase the price of foreign wool that we must have to the same extent. Is that protection to American wool-growers? or is it pro tection to-foreign wool-growers? Phil. Times, Ind. - General Alger, who is again posing as a Presidential candidate, ap pears to be wholly oblivious of the fact that Senator Sherman has loug since utterly destroyed his prospects of a nomination. His connection with the late Match Trust and the purchase of negro delegates in the last Republican Convention have done the business for him. Philadelphia Record, Dem.
