Rf WILLIAm H. BERNARD WILMINGTON, N. C Tuesday Morning. Mar. 5, 15 WHERIS 13 THE &EMEDY? For a generation the Democratic party representing the masses of the American people, and the Repabli can oartv representing certain favored classes of the American peo pie have been contending over the tariff question, the former fighting for a braid, statesmanlike policy which! woQld open the gates of the world to oar commerce and our gates to the commerce of the world, he latter fighting for a narrow, short sighted policy which would close the gates of the world on our com merce and our gates on the com merce of the world, which it has been doing. After the fight of a generation the Democratic party triumphed overj its antagonist and was able to put its policy into partial effect, but not jun til the harm had been done, and American industry found rivals in the field to compete with it in the markets of which it once had a prac tical monopoly. While our states men were contending over the issues for or against which their parties were arrayed, and the Republican leaders, made bolder and more confi dent by the continued lease of power went to greater and greater extretnes in their narrow, shortsighted polfcy, the nations which suffered by it were quietly seeking other fields from which to draw the supplies tjiey i needed, and the result was that be tore this destructive policy could be changed,, the competitors who iad entered the field grew formidable enough not only to wrest a lafge part of the trade in breadstuffs, &c , from this country, but have shown a .. . .. .. .! capacity ior production that gives gouad for the apprehension that tiey may eventually wrest it all. Isn't It strange that the'advbcates oi mis commerce-destroying policy didn't see this destructive competi tion growing up or if they did that they didn't have sense enonghj to comprehend its meaning and let! up in-the suicidal course they were pur suing? They saw the surplus of !the farmers's acres growing greater year after year, prices falling year after year until the market price of the -principal staple products had fallen to or below the average cost of pro auction, ana still with an wcompre hensible stupidity thev oursued !th policy which caused this, and made no effort; to" save, the greatest of all our industries, while taxing their ingenuity to build upi as they said, others, and sustain them ujr itiume exaeiea irom tne masses of the people. Is it strange that lun - der these circumstapces agriculture has become depressed, our farmers discouraged, and thousands upon thousands of them, after years of toil, forced to the verge of bankruptcy with little hope of escape? T Australia and South America com pete with the American wool- grower jn growing wool; They an grow wool for less than the Ameri can wool grower can. How then is he to hold bis own against them ? By levying tribute on the farmer who grows wheat, and oa every one else who wears woollen garments or qses other woolen fabrics, to make wool growigg profitable? : That's what the protectionist says, and that's what a protective tan ff means. I Argentina and British America can grow wheat for less than our wheat growers can. How then is pur wheat grower to hold up against ihis competition ? Must ' the American wool-grower and others who eat bread be taxed to make wheat-growing profitable ? That's what the protectionist says, and that's what a protective tariff means. The Australian dairyman ean make butter for less than the Ameri can dairyman can and he can ship It by the ton to England, where the American dairyman o'nee sold mudh of his butter, but sells little now. How is the American dairyman' to be helped against this competition ? By taxing people who buy buttet to make butter-making profitable ? That's what the protectionist says, and that's what protection means. Getting down to the marrow of It, the policy of protection as pursued by its Kepubiican advocates means that the follower of one industry must be taxed to make another in dustry "self-sustaining," and the fol lower of that taxed in turn to make the other which, had. been; taxed for. him "self-sustaining," a kind of a see-saw business, l if which each is taxed for the benefit of the other, with the result that but few are ben efitted and some rained. There is neither sense nor business in that. When a business man finds himself confronted by competition that cuts down his profits and endangers his business what does he do ? He changes his methods if defective, or changes his business, or if can't do this he seeks a wider market and new customers where he may escape dan gerous competition, and that is pre cisely what the nation should do which finds itself confronted by a competition against which it cannot successfully contend. It should change the methods by which old eastomers were lost and recover their trade, if possible, and seek new markets where there would be less competition, and where it wouia alwavs have the advantage. There are Hying, in the countries which bor der upon the Pacific ocean 800,000,- 000 of DeoDle. who raise neither at enough to eat nor to wear. Open the way to them and the American farmer would no longer depend upon European countries to buy his surplus gram, his meat, or his butter, and he heed no longer fear the competition which has been causing his surplus to increase and his profits to grow less. MINOR MENTION. Now that Congress has adjourned and there is an end to speculation as what might or might not be done, the country will quit, looking to wasn- ington and give more attention to business. With a pretty well settled conviction that the tariff will remain substantially as it is for several years, at least, manufacturers and im porters may go . on and make their plans with some confidence. Free wool has already given a stimulus to woollen manufacture, and notwith standing the reduction of the tariff on tin-plate, iron manufactures, &c, there has been a revival in these in dustries, which, of course, will have its effect on other industries directly or indirectly connected with them or dependent upon them. The finan cial question still remains in statu que, but the quarrelling will be transferred from the halls of Con gress to the press ana the torum, where less importance will attach to it, and the discussion will not be watched with the same interest either by the great body of the publtc or by the smaller body which controls the bank vaults and the volume of the currency. As far as the finances are concerned the Fifty fourth Congress will not be materially different from the Fifty- third, about the only difference betcg that' there will be more Republicans in the House of Representatives and fewer Democrats in the Senate, but the same element which. held the balance of power in the last Con gress will hold the balance of power in that. The cable announcement that Russia has protested against the proposed annexation of Corea by Japan, and of the probable failure of T.i Wnno- f!hanor to nomfiara nai r gives additional interest to the East ern question. .Russia has kept a close eye on Japan through all this war. and is not going to see China make any concessions which might jeopardize Russian interests. Ta be prepared for an emergency Russia has beeq for some time massing troops in her possessions on the Manchurian border, andvif Russia can drive a bargain with China which will extend Russian dominion in that direction it will not be long, should Japan be too exacting, before mese troops win oe louna gmng aid and comfort to the Chinese. In that event it will be time for Eng land to hustle to protect her trade with China, which has suffered very much since this war began, and may suffer still more if Russian influence should come to the front ia China.

Old Superstition Which Has Powerful 1b- tluenoe With European Bridal Couple. The municipal statistics of the city of Marseilles show the observer that on the 28th of April, 1894, there were regis tered at the mayor's office in that town no less than 94 marriages. Why tt enormous number? Because, according to an ancient tradition, couples that marry in the month of May expose them selves to great danger death will soon smite the unfortunates, or, at the very least, their union will not be blessed with children. Therefore a large num ber of Marseillaise lovers availed them selves of the last days of: April to join themselves in wedlock. ; This curious superstition is by no means oonnned to Marseilles., le Blaut, a French investigator, ascribes to it an origin in Roman antiquity. The Roman poet Ovid said that May was no time for widows to marry or for young girls, and adds that the imprudent woman who braves fate by so doing will die early. Plutarch agrees to the truth of this. It may be because of this ancient prin ciple that the Roman Catholic church has made the month of May sacred to the Virgin, however this may be, the idea has certainly perpetuated itself with singular persistence. Tassoni, writing about the middle of the seventeenth cen tury, relates that among the inhabitants of Ferraras many young nobles and princes who were married in May died only a few days' afterward. "It is the observation of this strange fact, " he ob serves, "that induced tne iverrarese, so it is said, to follow the ancient custom. " At the present day the superstition has not ceased to show itself in certain regions of Italy, in Roumania, in south Germany, Bohemia, Westphalia, Eng land and France, notably in Saintonge and in the Cevennes, where every one acknowledges the truth of the proverb, "The month of flowers is a month of tears." "Perhaps," said Plutarch, "the month of May is regarded as unlucky beoause it comes between April and June, the months respectively of Venus and Juno, the tutelary goddesses of mar riage,' or perhaps it is because May is the month of the feast of the Lemures, the souls ct the dead. "Paris Letter. TREE PLANTING , IN FRANCE. TJseleaa Sand Dome) Converted Into VaJo able Xawd With Pine.' The French thoroughly appreciate the advantages to be derived from systematic tree planting. Tracts of sand have been covered with pine forests, and the word Iande, borrowed, as it is thought, from the German, is losing its meaning of "waste." Till a century ago a large portion of the forest of 1 Fontaineblean consisted of bare sand hills, but the planting of pines was begun. A variety capable of standing the severest win ters was evidently found, and'millions of trees now diffuse healthy and agree able odors, besides furnishing timber for fuel. xne decomposed nr needles, more over, gradually form a crust of vegeta blemold, permitting the growth of trees and shrubs less able than the pine to live on air. The department of the Landes, once a barren region, with sand so loose that people had to walk-on stilts, is covered with pines, and the problem of draining the subsoil has been solved, as described in Edmond About's story of "Maitre Pierre. ?' The losses by fire and anxiety to pro duce something more remunerative than pine are now, however, inducing schemes of artificial fertilization. In many French watering places dunes have been transformed into woods, thus holding out to seaside visitors the at traction of agreeable shade and a change from monotonous beach. Shifting sands have been prevented from extending in land. In some cases dunes have been ac quired by companies, wbioh, after plant ing them, have cut them up into build ing lots and have seen them dotted with viiias. Elsewhere municipalities have taken up the matter, and in large operations the district or the department has pro vided the funds. London Timea He tores to Work. The foreman of a bootblacking shop in Madison square is a continual sur prise to the customers. His employer is a padrone, and he is left in complete control. His conduct justifies his em ployer's confidence. He is the hardest worker among the half dozen employees and frequently takes the brushes from one of his subordinates when there are not enough customers to keep all busy. He never allows a customer to go away unless he is satisfied that his boots have been polished in the best manner possi ble. He is ever full of enthusiasm and works with as much energy at the end of a busy day as at the beginning. His humor never lags, and his muscles never tire. j "It is as good as a bracer to watch that fellow, ' ' said a rounder.

To re cover this suit was brought in the court nnmrnnn nleas. I was retained as counsel for the defendant. When the day and hour set for tne trial of the cause arrived, I was busy, so I sent mv clerk over to represent the de- fAnRA. with instructions to watch the onenins proceedings and waive all cnai- lensres of the jurors, intending to reacn the scene in time to try the case. After disposing of the matter in hand I went over to the common pleas courtroom, en tering just as the opening statement was bains made by the counsel lor tne cred itors, the attorney being the late R. H. Newcomb. commonly known as Diox. "As I took my seat I glanced around the bar-and then about the courtroom in search of my client, but ho was not visi ble. I had on my 'near' glasses, so I winked them off, put on my far' glasses and repeated the search, with the same result Then I put on Dotn pairs of glasses without being able to discover my missing client Wondering a the absence of Goldfarb at such a time, I winked' off both glasses and turned to ward the jury box just as Pick New- comb was comnletine his statement of the creditors' side of the case. "Newcomb. as you may remember, was a man possessed oi an oratorical 'sift' and inordinately fond of display ing his lingual ability, no matter how small a provocation was offered by the nature or merits of the case. On the present occasion Disraeli's characteriza tion of Gladstone, 'intoxicated with the exuberance of his own verbosity, would fitly apply to Dick Newcomb as he dis claimed against the 'moral obliquity' and 'ingrained turpitude' of the de fendant "Ashe took his seat he leaned over to me and Whispered: ' 'How ishat for an opening state ment?' ' 'That's all right for an opening statement' said 1. 'but I don't think I shall try this case with you today. ' " 'What do you mean by that? asked Newcomb in astonishment. " 'Look at juror No. 11,' I said. " 'Well, what abont him?' ".'Do you know him?' " 'No. Who is he?' " 'Julius Goldfarb. ' " 'You don't mean the defendant in this suit?' " 'Precisely. ' "Quivering with indignation and dis- gust, Newcomb sprang to his feet and addressed the court 'May it please your honor, it has just come to my knowledge that juror No. 1 1 in that box is no other than the defendant in this action. ' "The sitting judge was the late ex- tjhiei Justice liarremore, who was a great stickler for the observance of all prescribed forms and jealous for the dignity and respect due the bench. Turn ing toward the jury box, he said sternly: " 'Juror No. 11, stand up.' "He obeyed. " 'What is your name?' demanded the judge. " 'Julius Goldfarb, shudge.' " 'Are you the defendant in this suit?' " 'Ja wohl, shudge. So I vos. ' ' ' ' What do you mean by getting your self sworn in as a juror to try your own case? thundered Judge Larremore. " 'Vy, shudge, ' answered Goldfarb coolly, 'dey vos call my name, undt you cole me to shtood up dere, undt I vos answer all der questions, undt dot man' (indicating Dick Newcomb) 'said I vos all right. Undt den I sits mo down here ver I vos dold. Dot's all, shudge. ' "Judge Larremore 's face had grown redder and redder during Goldfarb's story, and when the latter finished the judge treated him to as severe a lecture as ever was heard in a courtroom. Gold farb listened with a meek and lowly mien, but the twinkle of his eye showed that fear of the judge's reproof could not spoil his enjoyment of the joke. "When Judge Larremore had ended his lecture, he declared a n on trial. Goldfarb was discharged from the jury dox, otner talesmen were summoned, a new juror selected, and the trial of the case was proceeded with. 'After court was adjourned for the day Newcomb walked over to Goldfarb and said: " 'See here, Goldfarb, do you mean to say you would have gone on and tried your own case?' " 'Ja wohl, vy not?' " And I suppose you would have brought in a verdict for yourself if you could?" 'xx ow, Mistier .Newcomb, you vos a lawyer. Vot vos I dere for anyhow?
