BERNARD. WILMINGTON, N. C. Friday Morning, Sept. 18, 1891 WHAT THE CENSUS SHOWS. In discussing the causes of money stringency in the South and West we have asserted that it was due in a great measure to the protective tariff system, which levies tribute on purchasers for the benefit of the manufacturers, and robs the agricul tural sections to enrich the manufac turing sections. The figures of Mr. Porter's census bear us out in this assertion, and they also show that the constant demand of the protect ed manufacturers for more protec tion, on the plea that it is necessary for the preservation of the industries which they represent, is simply a craving for more plunder based on a fraudulent plea. Mr. J. S. Moore, one of th&ablest and best equipped writers oh tariff questions in this country, iias been studying the figures in the last cen sus and gives the result in a letter to the New York Times. He finds that the eight manufacturing States Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Penn sylvania, Rhode Island and Vermont have increased their wealth within the past decade $1,931,416,790 ; Pennsylvania alone having In creased hers 909,382,016 and Massa chusetts hers"569,377,824. These are highly protected States, and the States from which comes the oft re curring wail for more protection. Farming is a subordinate industry in all of them, manufacturing of some kind being the leading industry. They show an increase of wealth amounting to nearly $2,000,000,000 morcthan they had ten years ago. The farmers of those States are not much better off than the farmers of the West are, for the census shows that while some of the purely agricul tural counties show a slight increase of population, many of them bareiy hold their own and some have dimin ished, the gam in population in all being mainly in the cities which have drawn from the country, the increase in the rural districts being compara tively small. We know, also, that hundreds of farms in New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have been sold by the sheriff to satisfy executions on mortgages which the farmers could not meet. These twb facts the small increase or absolute decrease of population and the sheriff's sales show beyond question that the farmers are not prosperous and that this increased wealth does not belong in part to them, but wholly to the manufacturers, and others. Then taking the five great agri cultural States of the West Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Ohio' and Wisconsin, which ought to be prosperous it any agricultural States are, it is found, as reported by the same census, that : they have increased their wealth in the past decade $591,601,051 but a imm . ., i : - , . . i i i little over the increase irr Massachu setts alone, and but a little over a nnnrtpi of the ap-recrate Increase of the eight manufacturing States men tioned. Here are five great States, centrally located, each containing large and some very large cities, with excellent transportation facili ties by rail and water to those and other markets,? with fertile soli that yields generously to cultivation and yet they show an increase of less than $600,000,000 to the nearly $2, 000,000,000 shown by the eight manufacturing States named, some of which cannot raise farm products enough to feed their own population. There is another significant fact in this connection. ? The farming indus try has been for years depressed in all of the Western States, in some more than in others. Thousands of the .farms are mortgaged, and in some of them, notably in Ohio, the farm lands are not assessed ' at as much as they were ten years ago. This shows that the bulk of the in crease of wealth in those States has been in the cities, where some manu facturing industries have been estab lished. Now, it may be asked, wliere did all this increased wealth for those manufacturing States come from if not out of the non-manufacturing States whose people buy the goods which they make and upon which they put any price they choose be cause they are protected from com petition by the tariff. Is it a wonder that there is a scarcity of money in the agricultural sections which are thus bled for the benefit of the man ufacturing sections, and is there any honesty in or defence of a system which thus robs one section to en rich another, or one industry to en rich others? It is worse than ordi nary robbery, for it is plundering the poor to make richer the already rich. unros MENTION. The farmer is getting some object lessons in the home market these days and is learning, if he keeps his eyes and ears open, how the home market prices for what he has to sell are governed by the foreign market, and how the home market responds and plays see-saw with the foreign market. As the foreign market for grain, cotton, pork, or anything else which is exported, goes up or down so the home market goes up or down, showing that the foreign buyer not only makes the prices for his own markets but at the same time makes the prices for our home markets, and as a result while our home markets 'are sometimes lower, for what the farmer has to sell, than the foreign market it is never higher. The farmer has to compete in foreign markets with the world and not only in foreign markets but, indirectly, in his home market, while the protected manufacturer from whom he is compelled to buy what he needs, is protected by the tariff from competition and can therefore make his own prices. The result of this is that the farmer fs compelled to sell in the cheapest market where he has nothing to do with fixing the prices, and to buy in the 'dearest market, (at home) where he has nothing to do with fixing the prices, either, but must pay the price the seller puts upon his wares. Is it surprising that the farmer, under these conditions, suffers when he is thus ground, from both sides? And yet there are men who aspire to be teachers and leaders who say that the tariff is a minor question with farmers. What nonsense. The Republican campaigners in the West have been trying to make capital for their party out of the re moval by the German Government of the embargo on American pork. They represent , that this is on of the results of the reciprocity clause in the McKiuley tariff. But Secre tary Rusk puts a quietus on this claim, and has the honesty and can dor to say that reciprocity has noth ing to do with it, but that, American pork is admitted into Germany sim ply rn pursuance of an agreement on the part of this Government that pork intended for Germany shall be inspected and a certificate given that it is free from taint and healthful. It is then ' admitted but pays the tariff just as it did before its importation was restricted or prohibited. The cause tor restric tions assigned was that American pork was frequently infested with trichinae and therefore dangerous to health and life. It was to overcome this objection,, whether well founded or not, that Secretary : Rusk on the part of this Government began the negotiations which finally resulted in the establishment of the inspection system and the modification ot the restrictions on the part of Germany. TheNew York Republican State Convention dodged on the silver question but the. Democratic Con? vention - came up in a manly way Wednesday and met it squarely. It takes position against the coinage of any dollar which Is not the equiva lent of every other dollar In intrinsic value, which is practically the posi tion taken by Mr. . Cleveland in his letter and also by Qov.; HiIl who 4s not in favor of free coinage until an international standard of values shall have been agreed upon, which will probably never be. Eastern Democrats are quite as much stick lers for the "honest dollar" as the Eastern Jlepublicans are, -and are much more candid in their declara tions to that effect, so that this is really more a question of section than of party,; the West and the South favoring free coinage, the Center and the .East opposed to it. These are the lines upon which it will be fought out and decided at last. STATE TOPICS. The board of managers of the North Carolina exhibit at the World's Fair will meet at Raleigh some time in October, one object, among. others, being to see if some plan can be de vised for raising the $25,000 appro priated by the Legislature, which it was provided was to come out ot that portion of the refunded land tax which might remain in the hands of the State unclaimed, but which it is now evident cannot come from this source, as the refunded amount will be all claimed and paid out long be fore the Fair opens. This makes it necessary, it North Carolina is to be represented, to raise the money from some other source, to erect the necessary build ings and arrange and care for the State's exhibit. A number of coun ties have made appropriations to de fray the expense of the exhibits they may make, on the presumption, of course, that the State would have a building and make the necessary ar- rangements for an exhibit. There is no one who questions that North Car olina should be represented there, and if represented at all, creditably, and it seems to us that there should not be much trouble in securing a voluntary contribution of $25,000 from- wealthy and progressive citizens who have State pride enough to want to see North Car- Iina show up well in comparison with J other States. We also believe that there is State pride and business enterprise enough among our large lumber dealers and planing mill men to furnish the lumber and shape thr. material for a building out of North Carolina timber, from ground to turret, which would be not only an excellent advertisement of North Carolina timber, but also an excellent advertisement for the enterprising and public spirited men who fur nished it. CURRENT COMMENT. The big Kansas wheat crop is not going to our Pan-American re ciprocity friends. The Kansans would have to make some more mortgages it they had to wait for re ciprocity. Louisville Courier- Journal, Dem. The good people of England are greatly disturbed over the rumor that the Prince of Wales has not ab dicated his position of High Bac caratness.

There is a general hustle in the air. When you see such corn as that now grow ing all over Henrico you may know that a brisk business time is upon us. Rich, dark green, towering like church steeples and holding great bursting ear, one gets the impression after going through these fields that. Henrico alone could undertake the job of feeding Russia. Richmond State, Dem. Canada and the United States are now tied together under the ground as well as on top of it by strong bars of steel. The St. Clair tunnel, under the. St. Clair river be tween Sarnia on the Canadian side and .Port Huron on the Michigan side, will be opened for business this week. This tunnel is a great cast iron tubular structure piercing a bed of blue clay under the river bed for the whole distance from side to side. It is the only tunnel of the kind ever built, and marks a distinct engineer ing triumph for its projectors. Phil. Record, Dem. ; LIVED OVER A CENTURY. A Maine woman Who Attributes Her Longevity to a Iiaok of Corseta. , Mrs. Sarah Van Nostrand, who is now entering upon her 104th year, ana is still, hale and hearty, attnb utes her longevity and good physical condition to the fact that she never wore a corset. ' The hale old lady celebrated the anniversary of her 103d birthday the other day at her home in East Millstone, Me. She was conceded to be one of the "youngest" in the party, so lively and sociable was she. "On that oc casion she did not hesitate to make it known that her disobedience : of fashionable : decrees, and '- especially those that ordain the corset, was the cause of her hale old age. "If pur girls would abandon the corset," said she.' they would live longer and be healthier. I always hated corsets and would never wear them.".- . . - : ' ' ' She was married in i 1810, and du ring her fif tyfive years of married life she gave birth to eight children. The old lady says she thinks she will live to see her 125th. BREAD OPT OF SAWDUST, "When It Can Be Made Mankind Will Be Happy and Bich. Washington Star. ' A Star reporter war informed that the Department of Agriculture is in terested in a plan for making bread out of sawdust. - Absurd? By no means. Scientists believe that there is no good reason why the thing should not be entirely practicable. Everybody knows that starch is a substance extremely nu tritious; in fact, it is nearly all nun ment. Well, starch and sawdust are the same thing. Sawdust, which is "cellulose," is of precisely the same chemical composition as starch. The two are expressed by the same chem ical formula, C6 H10 05 that is six parts of carbon,' ten parts of hy drogen and five parts of ozygen These are the simple ingredients of either starch or sawdust. Scientific experimenters have been trying for a long time to find out a way to trans form the one into the other. If they should succeed the discovery would be away ahead of the philosopher's stone in point of value. An inex haustible source of food supply would at once be rendered available in the forests, the grass and even in straw and chaff. Hitherto chemistry has occupied itself almost wholly with taking things apart, in order to find out what they are made of, but now the science is directing its attention to putting elements together for the production of useful substances. Already it has succeeded in the arti ficial preparation of indigo, alizarin, uric acid and many other compounds. The aniline colors, obtained from coal tar and yet rivaling the most brilliant tints of the rainbow, are similarly produced So complex are some of them that their names, which give full accounts ot their composition, have to be regular seven-leaeue words, one beautiful dye being known as "Hexamethyl methoxytriamidotnphenylcarbinol." From coal tar in like manner are de rived many valuable anti-fever medi cines and soporifics. The prospects of this new science of putting elements together seem infinite, and the era of bliss may yet dawn which has been prophesied by the illustrious naturalist Frederick Conn, who says that all struggles for existence among men arising from want of food will be done away with when chemistry shall have learned to make starch from carbonic acid and water. Plants grow by do ing j ust that, and it may, therefore, be said that farmers have been en gaged since time immemorial in this very chemical industry. It would scarcely be so surprising, then, if the farms of the country should be re placed at some time in the future by chemical laboratories. A FLORIDA LAKE GONE. D ry Land "Where Steamboats Ban and Al ligators Played. Atlanta Constitution. A very peculiar spectacle was to be seen on the outskirts of Gaines ville last week. Alachua lake, a sheet of water from ten to fifteen miles in length and covering some 40,000 acres of land, is no more. On its banks were lying thousands of dead fish, dead alligators floated ghastly in pools in black water and the atmosphere was heavy with nox ious gases. Men and boys were there in throngs, crowding around the pools left by the receding waters, and with I hoes and rakes dragging to shore hundreds of fish which had sought their depths for refuge. The waters were fairly alive with their straggles for existence. "I n .Eixucpt iui a aumu ancam k-uuwu as Payne's creek, flowing from New man s laice into tne sinK, tne two mm . . main basins of the sink and a few stagnant pools, no water is now to be seen where a few years ago steamers were plowing their way. This is the second time since 1823 that a similar occurrence has taken place. At that time, the earliest in which there is any record of that part of the couatry, the bed of the lake was a large prairie, Payne's prairie, having in it a body of water called the sink and a small creek In 1868 heavy rains filled up the prairie, but the water disappeared - . . a atter a short time and the prairie was again dry land In 1873, after a series of heavy rains, the sink overflowed and the creek swelled to the dimensions of a lake. During several years the-water in- creased till a larger lake was formed, and for fully fifteen years sufficient depth of water stood over the prairie to allow of small steamers. During the last two years, how ever, the waters have been gradually lowering, and about three weeks ago they commenced going down with surprising rapidity, the lake falling about eight feet in ten days, until now nothing is left of Alachua Lake but the memory of it The sink is considered the cause of this change. There is evidently an underground passage connected with it, and. for some reason not un derstood this underground passage has been acting as a drain until all the water in the lake has been drawn out. The Fall Trade. New York Sun. The managers of the commercial establishments in this . city- speak with knowledee to the effect that when the big crops of the year are sold and paid for the crop raisers will be able to j indulge more freely than usual in the buying of dry goods, clothing, i household fur niture, personal decorations, tarm macninery and all kinds of merchan dise. In fact, and in other words, the fall trade of New York ought to be heavy this year, j PERSONAL. - Gladstone is distinctly upopu- lar with the Prince of Wales since his onslaught on gambling in high places.
