IT MADS THEM RICH.
The idea originally under the pro
tective tariff policy was to encour
age and stimulate the building of
manufactories in this country to
make it independent of other couo-
tries and self-stutaiuing in every re-
soect. In the early days, when the
' country was young aad the popula
tion small, that policy was a good
one and was inspire:), not by the
greed of: the manufacturers, bat by
'the patriotism of the statesman, and
it was gensrally acquiesced in- even
by the sections which were not look-
in? forward to becoming manufac
ing sections.
- With slavery the South did not
look to manufacturing as one of
her industries.
She was content
with: the benefits
of her i agriculture
and was, willing to leave the tnanu
facturing field td the sections which
were not so well
adapted to agrt
adapted to mana
culture but better
f icturing, and
she j was generous
enough to give them a protective
tariff to help them get a start.
The young West; was tod busy
with fighting Iadians and clearing
farms to thiak about butldiag mana
factories, even if they had the money
to do it, so the West left that to the
Eist, bat like the South cheerfully
ffave the Fast the benefit of a pro-
gave the Kast the jjenent ot a pro
tective tariff to help it alone. The
South and the West were both con
tent with their farms, which required
all their attention and with the pro
ceeds of which they were satisfied.
' Thus while the South and the
West continued to pursue agricul
ture, the Eastern States abandoned
agriculture and concentrated their
energies and efforts on the establish
ment of manufactories ni became
"the manufacturing section. Towns
grew up around the manufactories
the towns grew; into cities, popula
tion increased and they became rich
and powerful, rich enough to con
trol the money of th s country and poli
tlcally powerful enough to control
its public policies and make its laws.
Had they had,
like
the South and
West, fertile
might have
lands, manufacturing
had as few charms
for them as
South and
it had for the
jWest, : bat their
general thing were
lauds as a
poor and when the railroad became
a means of transportation and the
foodstuffs of the West came into
competition Jwiih Jthe farms of the
East they had to abandon farming
as an industry and of necessity turn
their attention to something else,
and that something I else under the
stimulus of the protective tariffs was
manufacturing. Necessity, not
choice, made the East the manufac
turing- section, while choice, .not
necessity, made! the j South and the
. West continue to be agricultural sec
tions, and willing tribute-payers to
the manufacturing ventures, of the
East. - - I :', -jj
But the first tariffs; were moderate,
about ten per cknt. protection, and
ap to the t'me of the war between
the States never more 'than twenty-
five per cent. They have since, -al
though, giving more j or less protec
tion all the time, reached as high as
sixty percent, which is about the
figure aimed at in the bill now before
Coagress. Why manufactories should
need more protection now than they
did fifty years
ago has never been
satisfactorily explain
the advo-
cates of more
protection, and we
don't think it ever will be.
. The manufactories grew from, the
first and continued to grow although
they bad bu: little tariff protection
compared with what they have since
bad and now have. They made money
then and have continued to make
money since, under much lower
tariffs-than we j have now. They
have been the leading factor in mak
ing their States rich. Those States
are the center of financial and politi
cal power. Where did their wealth
come from? They never sent much
of these manufactures into foreign
countries. The home market was the
market on. which they relied and they
found the greatest number of their
customers in the South and in the
West. That was their bonanza, and
they worked it for all it was worth,
and are continuing to do that.
Manufacturing jhas extended, as
might . be expected, - into other
sections, .and as it extended it car
ried with it the " craving for protec
tion S3 that the beneficiaries of this
system are not now confined to one
section to the same extent as they
as they once were, but the East it is
thatstill reaps the lion's share of
the benefit accruing, from it. And
thus the relati ve positions of tne sec
tions as to wealth have been re
versed. The South was once the
wealthiest section of the country, Is
naturally the wealthiest yet, while
the East, which j does not compare
with the South in j wealth-producing
resources, Vis t now ' by far the
wealthiest section. The, South and
" West on their fertile 'lands produce
the raw material which the East con
verts into finished forms and reaps
the benfit from, while the South and
West buy back much of that mate
rial in finished shape and pay the
East the pnSfit that has made it rich,
and while all this is going on the
Eastern manufacturer through the
operation of this protective tariff
leeps"off the competition - of the
manufacturers of other countries,
holds the monopoly of the home
market, pays the producer of the raw
materials such prices as be sees fit
to pay and also fixes the prices on
what be makes and sells, thus con
trolling both the selling and the
buying market.
Is it strange under these circum
stances that the East has grown
rich while the South and West have
become comparatively poor and
barely able to hold their own ?
As an illustration of this we quote
the following, which we find in the
Richmond State, from the speech of
Representative McLTanrin, of South
Carolina, on the Dingley bill:
"Take the niae great States of la
diaaa. Illinois, Iowa. Nebraska, Louts

North Caroiioa, noon which the coun

says Mr. McLaurin, and compare these
States with the nine great manulactor-
ins and money centres of the nation.

And yet they are not content with
a tariff that gives them about 40 per
cent protection or four times as much
as the first tariffs gave them, but are
clamoring for more. They not only

The American people have the
reputation of being the . most enter
prising and progressive people in
the world. In a general way this is
true, but it takes them a long time
to catch on sometimes. It took the
Southern cotton planters a long time
to catch on to the folly of over
stocking the market with cotton,
and to'the necessity of raising their
own food supplies instead of buying
them from the West as they bad
been doing so long, and paying for
them with the proceeds of low-
priced cotton. They haven't fnlly
caught on yet, but the tendency Is
that way. But the planters or-the
South are not the only ones who are
slow in catching on, for the farmers
of the West as persistently pursue
the folly of banking on wheat as
the Southern planters did in banking
on cot'ton. As the Southern plant
ers raised cotton to bay foodstuffs
the Western farmers raise wheat to
buy sugar when ifthey would they
could raise their own sugar, 'and
sugar enough for the United States
without taking any risk. What this
folly costs is briefly ' but forcibly
statea in tne lonowinp-. wnicn we
find in the Rnoxville, Tenn., Tri
bune :
"Daring the seven years ending Jane
so, lstfo. tniscoantry paid lor imported
raw sugars nearly 18D0 000.000 At sixty-
six pounds per capita our population of
7O U0O.0OO will consume 8 810 000 -tons,
costing $120,000 030. - These figures
were noted in a recent article in these
columns on the subject of beet isugar.
Ia an article in the New York Press.
Francis Wetland Glenn; uses them as
an argument in favor of -the increased
cultivation of the sugar beet in this
country, and proceeds to show the great
difference in the value of wheat and
sugar per acre. " Twelve tons of beets
can be raised on tbe avarage upon an
acre of land,' or 94 000 poands. This
weigbt of beets should yield at least
one ton of pare sugar.
"Therefore to produce S 000,000 tons of
sugar will require the product of 24 000,
000 acres of land olanted in beets. Par
thepastfive years tbe average yield of
wheat in tbe United States has not ex
ceeded twelve bashels per acre. Tbe
average price to the farmer has not been
more than 70 cents per bushel, or 19 40
per acre. On this basis it requires tbe
proa act oi seven acres oi wbeat to pay
for tbe sugar obtained from one acre of
beets. Is it a wise policy to export the
product of 14 000.000 acres of wheat to
pay for the product of 000.900 acres of
beets? It requires more labor to culti
vate and harvest 14,000.000 acres of wheat
than it does to cultivate and harvest 9,-
000.000 acres of beets. Mr. Glenn thus
concludes: 'We have the labor, capital
and skill to produce all the sugar we
consume, to pay lor tbe sugar we im
port is a constant drain upon our gold
reseivo
While we are talking about diver
sified farming in the South, why not
gtve ' the sugar beet a trial ? Here
is an opening for Southern .farmers
to add a crop in which there are
immense possibilities, and one that
there is little danger of being over
done for' some: years I to come, If
ever. On account of the mild cli
mate and longer seasons, tbe South.
is better adapted to the culture of
this beet than the West, and yet
where it is cultivated in the West it
is tbe most profitable crop grown.
we nave no sugar factories, it is
true, . but! the - factories will come
when the beets are grown to draw
them, and as many will come as can
find the material to keep them profit

' A couple days ago Mr. FurnelL of
Raleigh, telegraphed that the contest
for the Judgeship of this district bad
narrowed down to Price and him,
but now it seems to be in a muddle
again and not narrowed down to any
pair. The ardent desire of some of
the Republican leaders In - this State
to shelve Governor Russell and get
him out of the way by : putting him
on the bench may have bomething to
do with the halt in the proceedings,
notwithstanding the report that the
Governor was enjoying his present
position so much that - be doesn't
want any other. There is politics
and business' behind the move to
transfer . the Governor - from the
Gubernatorial chair to the Judicial
bench; pontics with the ' gen
tlemen who think that the ob
stinate Governor has already badly
battered the Republican party
and will smash it before the end of
hut term if h: serves it out, and busi
ness for the Southern Railway Com
pany which, if be were retired, would
have a friend in the Lieut. Governor
who would - succeed him. That
would be the end of the Gubernato
rial fight against the 99 year lease.
Of 'course Governor Russell under
stands the situation fully and can
see through the game to put him on
the bench, but still, as we have here
tofore remarked, a comfortable and
honorable position for life is a rather
tempting bait, for even a man of

this? .
Mrs. Corbett He must know, but not
from words. There are feelings too sacred

and begins to read. )
May (smiling) Loys, you are an ideal

Mrs; Corbett (still reading) It isn't
true. It can't be, -

strange you look! What Is the matter?
Mrs.- Corbett (hysterically) It's really
too ridiculous. (Heads on eagerly lor a

ber old Mr. Dent, our vicar? They said he
preached other men's sermons. Do you
believe it?
May Why, we all knew It Loys, here's
Cyril.
(Enter Cyril)
pyril I say, you are a nice pair to keep
promises. And I rather hoped to have had
your help in school.
May Xioya has had an industrious fit
on.
Mrs. Corbett I've been in my school,

Cyril (smiling) Can you say your les

Mrs. Corbett- Yes. "When half gods.
go, the gods arrive "
May That means you, Cyril, If It
means anything.

Cash or Credit.
"Why should a man receive a bonus
when he gets things charged instead of
paying cash?" asked a New Yorker of an
inquiring mind. "If I pay my bill regu
larly every day at the restaurant I frequent
a good deal, no notice is taken of It, al
though In buying goods I would probably
get 10 per cent off for cash. Yet, if I let
an account run for a week, as a matter of
convenience to myself, the proprietor "al
most invariably offers to treat me when I
pay up.
"Now, if I always paid at the end of
week, and accepted his offer every time, I
would get 52 drinks a year for nothing.
At the rate of 15 cents a drink this would
amount to $7.80! In addition the restau
rant keeper runs the chance of -not being
paid for perhaps an entire week's board.
Now, why should he pay- a ' premium of
nearly f 8 a year to run this chance? Sup
posing he does it in the case of 100 custom
ers, he pays $780 for the risk of getting
cheated, and the risk must often become a
certainty in a large number of cases, al
though in my individual case I flatter my
self it is none at alL" New York bun.
Alive Foar Month. In a Grave.
Hari Das, the great Hindu fakir,
who Lived in the first half of the cen
tury, is the only wonder worker of mod
era times who baa ever allowed himself
to be buried in the ground for months.
In the year 1839 Hari told General Ven
tura that for a certain fee he would al
low a committee to ; test the claims
which he made of being able to die and
remain dead for months and then come
to life again. When all was arranged.
11 art hypnotized himself to such a de
gree that; his circulation was wholly
stopped. When he was pronounced dead
to all Intents and purposes, he was bur
ied in a garden and a high wall built
around the grave. Guards were stationr
ea - on the wall so that interference ox
deception, would be impossible. Four
months later Hari was exhumed accord-
ing "to agreement, and after a few min
utes of vigorous rubbing of his body by
friends he opened his eyes and an hotu
later he was well and able to walk.
The fakir was clean shaven when buried,
and is said to have eome out oi the
grave in the same shape, a fact which is
cited to prove that vitality must have
been completely suspended. St. Louis

People find just the help they so much
need, in Hood's Sarsaparilla. It fur
nishes the desired strength by puri
fying, vitalizing and enriching the
blood, and thus builds up the nerves,
tones the stomach and regulates tbe
whole system. Bead this:
"I want to praise Hood's Barsaparilla.
My health run down, and I had the grip.
After that, my heart and nervous system
were badly affected, so that I could not do
my own work. Our physician gave me
some help, but did not cure. I decided
to try Hood's Sarsaparilla. Boon I could
do all my own housework. I have taken
Hood's Pills with Hood's Sarsaparilla,
and they have done me much good, I
will mt be without them. I have taken 13
bottles of Hood's Sarsaparilla, acM through
the blessing of God, it has cured me.
I worked as hard as ever the past sum
mer, and I am thankful to say I am
well. - Hood's Pills when . taken with
Hood's Sarsaparilla help very much."
