Site looming Jtax By WILLIAM II. BERNARD, WILMINGTON, N, C. Saturday Morning, Dec. 12, 1891 MORE MONEY SEEDED. .The price of cotton is made in England, and the price in this coun try both for manufacturing and for speculative purposes is governed by the price abroad. While this is so tne cotton planter never knows what his cotton crop is going to bring him, and can, therefore, never count upon it with any degree of certainty. lhe planter who cannot hold his crop as long as he wishes is always at the mercy of the foreign price makers, who keep thoroughly posted on the output of the cotton fields of the world and govern themselves ac cordingly. This is simply the reverse of the way the thing ought to be. The man who grows cotton should be the man who makes the price of it, and next to him the American cotton buyer who buys cotton for for eign shipment should be the man to do it. If the Southern cotton growers were in independent rirrnmcfnnrpQ anrl miM n.;thi,.u "-' v-uuiu niiuuuiu their crops and market them when and in-such quantities as they saw fit they, would become the price-makers themselves and get a price that would pay them well for their labor. But they are not "in a condition to do this, because they must have money and cotton is their dependence for money. Whatever the price of the cotton may be they are compelled to market enough, of it to. meet their pressing obligations and present needs, though the price be below the actual cost of production. If money wasas abundant in the South as it is in the Middle and New England States (which have found such a bonanza in the protec tive tariff) -it would not be difficult to devise plans by . which the cot ton market could be controlled and cotton command a remunerative price, for then syndicates could be easily formed with millions of capi tal to lend money to planters who wanted to borrow, with cotton as se curity. This would be carrying out without any governmental -agency one of the ideas embraced irrthe sub-treasury scheme, without being open to any of the objections that the latter is. It was said a year or so ago that the Alabama Alliance had effected arrangements wkh some English syndicate which agreed to lend the planters of that State as much money as they wanted to bor row at six per cent, interest, taking wLLon as security, but we have heard nothing further of that. If we had a system of State banks these syndicates might be organized by our own people, for with the in creased volume Of current rW banks would supply these syndicates uiu easily command the neces sary money, and while thev wnnM secure the banks they themselves would be secured by the cotton on which the money was advanced. The per capita circulation in the United States is stated by the Treas ury Department to be $24.28, about one-half the per capita circulation in France. In this country $50 per capita would not be too much. A system of State banks, in addition to the national banks, might safely supply $45,000,000 of currency for North Carolina, and thus bring the circulation up to a figure which would meet the demands of our people, supply the farmers with the money they needed, and also capital to establish numerous industries., ' A'banking system of this kind in addition to the National banks would be better for the people if the South and the West than if the circula ting medium now supplied by the Government and through ihe Na tional banks were doubled, because the addition to the volume thus sup plied "would be better distributed, and remain better distributed, as it could not be controlled by the money kings of the Eastern centers to which the volume of currency has drifted "for years and will continue to drift while the present protective tariff system and the internal revenjue system continue in operation. It would simply supply money for home circulation, good for all practical purposes at home, and such as would remain at home. The South is suffering from a scarcity of money because she pays about $225,000,000 a year, or nearly, as much as this year's cotton crop is worth,in tribute to the protected man ufacturers of the North and in pen sions to Federal soldiers, nine-tenths of which pension money goes to the soldiers of the North. Add to this the amount that goes out in internal revenue, and it will not be difficult to account for the scarcity of money in the South, why our farmers are em barrassed and. our industrial enter prises are hampered and retarded. This puts our cotton growers at the mercy of the cotton buyers abroad, and costs the South millions of dol lars a year, which go into other pock ets. If the friends of the farmers and of the toiling millions North and South would take a good square look at the financial question, they would emblazon "State Banks" on their banners, throw them to the breeze, make that one of the live questions, and stick to it until the State banks come to stay. MINOR MENTION. Mr. Springer, of Illinois, one of the leading Democratic Congress men from the West, takes a sensible, practical view of the tariff question. He does not agree with Gov. Hill in demanding the repeal of the McKin ley bill (something which could not be done if it were attempted) but believes that the Democrats in Con gress should try to do only that which can be done, and instead of. attempting the impossible, even if it were the desirable, give the people all the relief they can. With this view he does not think it wise to at tempt a general revision of the tariff, but would provide for free wool, free salt, free lumber, free cot ton ties, free binding twine and free coal, all articles of prime necessity, and all tariff-taxed without any good reason. These are mentioned by way of illustration, as there are, doubtless, other things which upon investigation it can be shown might be put upon the free list or things upon which the tariff might be ma terially reduced tin plate, for in stancewithout seriously disturbing business. In this connection he makes a suggestion which shows that he is a man of thought and method. It is that, a committee of fifteen be appointed, to be com posed of ten Democrats and five Re publicans, to investigate the manu facturing industries with a view to ascertaining the actual cost of pro duction of the various articles pro duced, from which estimates might be made as to the amount of protec tionif any that they could reason ably ask. He proposes to let this committee pursue its investigations during the recess and by the time the Congress met in second session have their report ready, with the guidance of which and such other in formation as it might have the Com mittee on Ways and Means could frame a reasonable and equitable tariff bill. This looks like getting the thing into a methodical, business like shape. ... The free silver coinage advocates are coming to the front early. In the Senate Thursday, Senator Stew art, of Nevada, introduced a bill for the free coinage of gold and silver, and was followed closely by Senator Plumb, of Kansas, with a bill provi ding for the retirement of National bank notes; free coinage of silver, and the promotion of international free coinage of silver. Both of these Senators are Republicans, and are doubtless in accord with the senti ments of their constituents upon this question, which is not viewed by them from, a partisan, but from a purely financial and "geographical standpoint. In this connection it will be interesting to know how the Sen ate and the House stand on that question and the prospects of the passage of a free coinage bill. With this view, the New York Press, (Re publican, anti-free-coinage paper), has been pursuing investigations, with the following results. It finds ,that there are in the Senate 35 Dem ocrats, 18 Republicans and 1 Alli ance man in favor of free and un limited silver coinage; 3 Democrats and 30 Republicans opposed to it. This gives in the Senate 54 for and 33 against it, one Democrat (Brlce) being doubtful. It would re quire 59 to carry it over the President's veto, so the free coin age men would have to secure 5 votes more than they now have to pass it over the veto. In the House the Press finds 154 Democrats, 9 Republicans and 8 Alliance men in favor of it; 37 Democrats and 70 Republicans against it. It will re quire 222 votes to pass the bill in the House over the President's veto, so that the silver men would have to secure 51 votes more than they can now count before it could pass the House over the veto. On this show ing, which is probably pretty near correct, it will remain for Mr. Har rison to say whether we shall have free coinage or not. During the contest for the Speak ership it was asserted that Mr. Mills was the champion oi tariff reform, and that the election of Mr. Crisp would mean a backset to tariff re form, Mr. Crisp being called a Ran dall Democrat, that is a Democrat of the protective stripe. This alleg ation was without foundation and was promptly nailed by Mr". Crisp's friends at the time. The following extract from Mr. Crisp's speech on the McKinley bill, delivered in the House May 9, 1890, shows where he stands on the tariff question and that as a tariff reformer he is as straight as a shingle. He said : "The farmer of this country is taxed on almost eveiy manufactured article he buys. The tariff forces him to pay more (or his clothing, for his children's dresses, for his crockery and for his plow. Your argument is that he is fur nished in return a home market. Where is this home market for the Kansas corn raiser or far the Southern cotton-raiser ? The price of out corn, wheat and cotton is fixed by the price of the sur plus which we must sell in Liverpool. "I can suggest a plan of relief in five minutes. Modify the existing tariff laws; reduce taxation; permit some reasonable competition in the markets; destroy trusts; accord equal rights to all and special privileges to none. Give the farmer free salt, free bagging, free cotton ties. Give him some reduction on hats, on woolen clothes and on his cotton goods. You cannot increase the price of the product of the farmei by a pro tective tariff, but you can decrease to him the cost of production and of liv ing by reducing the tariff on articles used in making crops and on articles of necessity which all families must use. No amount of juggling if the discus sion goes on will prevent the Western and Southern farmer from understand ing what this protective system really is; that its effect is to take from one man to give another; to take from the mass to give to a class." There is tariff reform enough in this to answer all practical purposes. POLITICAL POINTS. There is more dissatisfaction with the G. O. over the Presidential sit uation than is expressed. They don't think it right to have to wear the same kind of hat more than four years on the stretch. . Times, Ind. Fusion talk in Kansas will not lend to reassure the Republican minori ty hitherto existing in that State. If the Democrats and the Alliance faction should colesce they would be in a ma jority of at least 30,000 a formidable obstacle to interpose against Republican ascendency. The breaking asunder of old party lines has been nowhere marked and distinct than in Kansas. Phil. Re cord, Dem, " The strength of the Farmers Alliance members of Congress, which has been more or less an unknown quantity, is probably disclosed by the vote for Mr. Watson for Speaker. He received 8 votes, against 228 for Mr. Crisp and 89 for Mr. Reed. The Demo crats could split into two almost equal factions, each with more votes than the combined opposition. It is an unhealthy state of affairs on the eve of a Presi dential election unhealthy for the Dem ocratic party. Phil. Ledger, Ind. The most potent , obstacle in the way of the success of the Demo cratic party in late years have been, not the positive excellences of the Republi can party, but its own defects and bur dens. In the race for the high prize of public confidence it has carried weight. Time and again, when victory seemed to be within its grasp, its unwise lead ers have imposed conditions that broke it down, and its antagonist has suc ceeded. If ever there was a party which needed to forget the things which are behind and press forward, the Demo cratic party is that one. N. Y. Times, Ind.

Tariff Reform remains in the foreground of political agitation and of legislative activity in this Con gress. Mr. Crisp himself has has tened to remove any misconception that might have possioly been crea ted in the public mind upon this point. Tariff Reform is entirely safe in the keeping of the over whelming majority of Democrats sent to Congress by its potent spirit. No Speaker could control this ma jority if he would; and Mr. Crisp would not if he could. Phil. Record, Dem. Consular offices are multi plied to furnish places on which par tisans may fatten. While merchants are charged enormous fees for their unnecessary services, yet the income of the offices does not cover the ex penses. In addition to the sums collected in the way of fees from those engaged in foreign trade amounting last year to $978,142 a further sum is exacted from the gen eral tax-payer, amounting to $120, 000, to provide for the maintenance of offices, nine-tenths of which are wholly unnecessary and the other tenth wholly detrimental to trade. Boston To-Day, Ind. Some of the protectionist pa pers are trying to make out that the election of Judge Crisp is likely to prove injurious to the Presidential prospects of Grover Cleveland. They base this flighty hypothesis upon the assumption that Crisp is a Randall protectionist and will join forces with Gorman and Hill against Cleveland. Suppose he should. That would not have much chance of defeating the man the whole coun try wants for President. But the Judge is not at all likely to do any such thing as they pretend to believe. Savannah News, Dem. Gov. Hill's Error. New York World, Nov. jth. Would it be wise? Gov. Hill advises the repeal of the McKinley tariff and administrative acts and the Sherman Silver law. He . suggests nothing to take the place of those statutes. Their re peal, if possible to be effected, would restore the tariff act of 1883 and the Bland Silver law. Would this alternative, presented by the Democrats in Congress on, the eve of the Presidential campaign, conduce to the success of their party in that election? Would this triple menace of disturbance to trade, com merce and finance this uncondi al tearing down without building up be wise statesmanship? Would it be good politics? The World solicits an opinion up on this subject from the other lead ers of the Democratic party and from the Democratic press. To us Gov. Hill seems unwise. Happy Boosters. Wm. Timmons, postmaster of Idaville, Ind., writes : "Electric Bitters has done more for me than ajl other medicines combined, for that bad feeling arising from Kidney and Liver trouble." John Leslie, farmer and stockman, of 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.

A Later-Day Vikifljr, and His Ambitious Trips on tne Sea. Pall Mall Gazette. A young Swedish journalist,whose name is M. C. G. Uddgren, has rowed in a small boat all the way from Gothenburg to Calais, and hopes to complete his journey to London when the weather moderates. He is a finely built, fair haired, brawny man on the sunny side of 30, and hails from Viken, or Bohuslan, the centre of the old vikings' country. "My boat is 18 feet long, and 3 feet 9 inches wide," said he. "It is an ordinary rowing boat, but cov ered with canvas, like a canoe. The sculls are fastened to the rollocks so that they can't slip. She was made by a Chicago firm, who sent her to the Stockholm Exhibition. "When I started I had neither suf ficient clothing nor food. I had left my watch at home, and had no com pass ; and I had only fifteen shil lings in my pocket. All the coast from four miles south of Gothen burg was quite new to me, and I had a terrible time. Night after night I had to sleep in my boat, very cold and wet and hungry. One night I was the guest of a fisherman, an other of a farmer, a third of a Count in his castle. Everybody offered me shelter and gave me the run of the larder. Why, my voyage from Co penhagen to Kiel, which nearly took a month, only cost me twelve shil lings ! "To avoid coming to grief on the banks at the mouth of the River Elbe I had to go right out to sea, and had a very dangerous trip to Cuxhaven. Thence to Am sterdam; along the coast, I had the hardest work in all the journey, the sea was so rough and the winds so strong. "In the Zuyder Zee I had once to row for thirty-three hours at a stretch. I nearly went out of my mind several times, and the great exertion, continued day after day, now and again thoroughly prostrated me and made me faint. "The voyage to Amsterdam had taken three months. .1 went to Leyden, and thence by Rotterdam, Antwerp, Ghent and Bruges to Nieu port by the canals. I took me more then a month to get through Hol land, but two and a half days suf fied "for Belgium. I rowed from Nieuport to Dunkirk on canals, and then out on the sea again to Calais."
