AtJGrtrsT. 29. nrirnrvn n-wt n a Tnnmr " 7 U JSVt7JniX VI AAJIvUVJv The Republican leaders, who have J not the remotest idea of letting the " tariff question come tip for dissua sion in Congress if they can pre--- vent it, are doing all they can; to bluff Representative Babcock, who says he is going to introduce a bill to put upon the free list allarticles made by trusts, exported and sold y in other countries at a lower price "than the same articles are sold to :- purchasers iatbil country, I He had scarcely announced his purpose when Senator Hanna, in a jmblish V ed interview, jumped on him and .declared that if such a bill, were -1 passed the steel manufacturers in J. Canada would be dumping steel into , -New England and would ruin our' . steel makers, althoncrh our Bteel r makers boast that they can J make . steel cheaper than it can be made in - any other countrj in the world. Senator Hanna, however, disposed of the Babcock movement by-rpro-5 nouncmg it so aDsura mat it was not worthy of serious considera tion." Mr. Hanna is very close to "Mr. McKinley. Senator Depew, who has just re- - turned, from Europe, had nimselt . interviewed on the question of tariff legislation as it would apply to trusts, and declared that a reduction ... of duties, or putting trust made ar , tides on the free .list, is just .what the European manufacturers are longing for and hope to see, for then, he says, the European manufacturers can dump. '.their surplus on this . country just as our protected manufacturers dump their surplus stocks on Europe. He does not ei- plain the particular process by - - which they could do that when our manufacturers are shipping theii ' : goods to the countries where these : V manufacturers operate and are sell- ' ing them for less than the home made articles sell for, and are under . selling these same manufacturers in the markets of the world where they compete. - If our manufacturers can ship goods to the other side of the globe and sell them as . low or lower than their European competitors can, why should they ' fear the competition of these man- ufacturies in this market when the floods made in Enrone must be ahin- ped across three thousand miles of ocean? Mr. Depew didn't explain how they would do that. But he wasn't in an explanatory mood, he was simply talking to create a senti ment against the Babcock proposi tion. Mr. Depew, by the way, is another gentleman who stands close to Mr. McKinley, close enough to give him a grand send off for a third term, without a preliminary understanding with Mr.. McKinley, who was somewhat embarrassed by ,it, for if permitted to go along with out any word from him it might strain the cordial relations between ' him and his friend Hanna, who is " squinting in the direction of the White House himself, and expects Mr. McKinley's co-operation in get- ' tfntr there. The next jumper of national rep utation is General Grosvenor, of Ohio, who spent the Summer in Europe ;and reached home a few days ago. He had hardly landed when an interview with nun on . shipboard by a' correspondent of - the Philadelphia Press (an -organ ,of the President, controlled by a . member of his Cabinet), 1 who crossed' the ocean with him, was published in the Press. That there might be no mistakes Gen. Grosvenor wrote the interview him self. The gist of the pronuncia mento . is . contained in the first -XI - ; 1 t-I.t. a Al - tiira) pararapiu, wnica resu mas: "I read with some interest Mr. Bab . cock's letter, written from Marienbad, . Austria,, to a Milwaukee friend and . published in the Press. I am glad . to see. that the writer has fled from bis former position in regard to changes in the tariff,? but I regret to observe that he has taken up a much more In defensible one. Despite his assurance that he is a Republican protectionist,? it will appear by a careful reading of - his paper that he ia a free trader upon all important points. He is a theoret ical protectionist, but a practical free .. trader. ,-. ... J The bill introduced in the Fifty sixth Congress, second session.' by Mr.: Babcock was intended to place upon the free list all the manufactures of iron and steel coming to this country, the like of which are made in the United States by a 'trust' The word- , ing of the bill said so and left nothing to construction.' If enacted into lawit ' would have admitted in our porta free . of duty the products of the great Ger man trusts and those of the trusts of ' all other countries. Such a law would net Immnihlii nf mfiwwi m an tnm U . reasons which? suggest ! themselves to any intelligent person.- Shortly before Mr. Babcock sailed to Europe in an . authentic interview, printed in the Washington and other newspapers, he said that he wpuld in troduce in the House . in December a . bill to place on the-free Tlist all the ar tieles coming to us - and the , like of which are manufactured by-any 'trust' In the United States, and all the long Summer sinoa i the free trade papers of the - United -States have been giving the idea 'hearty sap port. But now . it appears Mr. Bab cock has recdved new light, and cheerfully abandons his ' former posi tion and write long letter1 to show how he has' been "misunderstood, and also to redefine Mr position. The pre amble to the new suggestion rehearses thxt formerly he had. adopted the pro tectire idea for the purpose of building jp our industries" to enable them to r -rply our own. wants; but now he js that it has come to pars tst some - :!:3, the like of which ira formerly t vn now cm prci:"s tzi ex , " 2 3 prcrr-is to ; ... : 3 ra . r:l r,i rrtfI-s cnlha ti ee trader in all the land could ask for nothing better than this. The test ia to be that he can now sell a certain article in a foreign market When this fact ia found to exist the tariff ia to be taken off and all the world ia to invited to invade our markets with their products." Like Brutus, Gen. Grosvenor, who is also very close to Mr.' McKinley, is an ''honorable man" and would resentjt asan v insult if he were called an untruthful man, and yet his statement,' written -by himself,' on ship "board where he had little in terruption and all the time he want ed for reflection, is a deliberate and premeditated misrepresentation of Mr. Babcock's position on the tariff question. He does not propose 3 to have put upon the free list "all ar ticles manufactured by trusts." ' He has never once said that was his in tention, but to move to put upon the free list all articles of steel or iron, or in which steel and iron en ter, which are manufactured by the trusts, exported and sold in foreign countries at a lower price than the trusts demand and receive f or the same articles when sold in the home market, ,. There is all the difference in the world in these two propositions and Gen." Jrosvenor knows i V'- for Mr. Babcock supports his position by asserting that if the .American trusts can manufacture and sell in other countries in competition with foreign competitors, at as low or lower prices than they can, and at a considerably less price than they demand at home, it is proof con elusive that they have nothing to fear from foreign competition, and. therefore, do not need tariff protec tion, the only result of which is to enable them to extort mere money from their home purchasers. That's Mr. Babcock's position and Gen. Grosvenor knew ; it when he wrote that interview,. and yet "honorable and truthful man as he is he delib erately misrepresents it. He was too anxious to jump on Mr. 'Babcock, who proposes to jump on the trusts The fact is the Republican leaders like Hanna, Depew and Grosvenor realize that there are a good many Republicans who think like Babcock does and they are, therefore, trying to bluff him and hold him down be fore the anti-trust movement be comes, too strong to be resisted. PASTISAH IDIOCY. The last issue of the Baleigh Cau casian clips a fool editorial from the Chatham Citizen, a rabid Republi can organ, in which it virtually charges that the recent assaults upon white women by negro brutes in Mecklenburg county were some of the fruits of Democratic rule in that county. A. man so filled with mean partisan rancor and so lacking in common sense and decency might be excused, on the ground of hope less lunacy or total depravity, but the man who does the writing for the Caucasian practically endorses this idiocy and makes it, in 'connec tion with a dispatch from Ifewbern stating that the criminal docket for the court then in session "is ex ceedingly heavy, covering all forms of crime," the subject of the follow ing ridiculous comment: - "This is a sample of the news from every quarter of the State! What js the cause of ft? Bat how could any other .harvest be expected from the seeds - of crime sown by the lawless reign of Bed Shirts in the last two campaigns." The Caucasian has dumped upon its confiding dupes a great deal of partisan rot, but for downright ma lignity, narrow-minded partisanship, and towering stupidity, this caps the climax. Who commits these crimes, which are so appallingly on the in crease ? Bed Shirts?. If so, the records don't show. it. But the records do show that about nine- tenths if not more of them are per petrated by negroes, with whom the editor of the Caucasian has been in political affiliation for several years. How is it about Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and other States, where the Bed Shirt is not in it and has not entered upon the stage at all ? Whence comes the deluge of crime in those States, where the devil seems to have taken possession of the black allies of the Caucasian, as he has in this State. If this partisan trifler with com mon sense would turn his attention to trying to reform and lift up his black allies, and cease his stupid rot about Bed Shirts, he would be figur ing n a more respectable and per haps moreuseful role. WILL FASHDTO FAYf We have front time to time ' made mention of successful" farmers ! in this and in other States, who" have become rich farming. A ? short while ago we noted the success of a Maryland " farmer who began as a farm, laborer and now owns about ! thirty farms and will have this year a crop of 100,000 bushels of wheat, 150,000 bushels of corn, fat addition to other "crops," and owns several: hundred head of fine " cattle, horses and mules. XT J ' "J - . . - - . xesteraay we maae mention ox a farmer in Georgia who ) began as a renter after the war and now owns six thousand acres, all bought with the earnings from his farms. f , vThe last issue of the Hillsboro Observer speaks of a visit : to Occo- neechee farm, owned by Col. Julian Carr, and . managed ,by -: Col. ' B. S. Abernethy, a " self-made, man, now about thirty-four years old, who at the age of twenty-one was working for 13 a ncsth. He' is to-day the ctz:t cf one; the- nest farms ; in circumstances,' and -was employed as the manager of Col. . Carr's 700 acre farm on account of the success he had achieved on his own. . 7 Such -instances as these are not rare f enough to be curiosities, for there area good many men in the Southand irf North Carolina, who have become rich farming, but they are men who get out of the ruts and farm not only 'with their hands but with their brains. There is a a good deal in the land, of course, but as the Arkansas poet expresses it, "There is more in the man than in the. Ian'." The - farmer who understands his business, and has the industry and method to follow it up right, will bring surprising results out of very ordinary land, while the shiftless plodder, will soon ruin the best of land and get hungry on it. In Germany the doctors have struck on a new device for feeding iron in disguise to invalids. Carbonate of iron with sugar is stirred into mush on which hens are fed, the iron goes into the eggs, and the egg eater takes it in mild, broken' doses without even suspecting it. That may be all right, but they may go on with that kind of hen feeding until the cook will have to use a cold chisel to get through the shell of the egg. '. BOOXHOTICES.

The statement that there is a scarcity of beef is a lie given out to excuse the increase in price contem plated.

Greensboro Record: Just be fore Judge Shaw adjourned court for the term on Saturday afternoon, Ros coe Murrow, the young man convicted of intimacy with a girl under the age of fourteen' was sentenced to serve seven years on the roads or pay $1,500 to the use of the girl and $500 to the county school fund, through his coun sel, decided to serve out his sentence instead of paying out and was taken to jail at once. To-day he was sent to the roads. It is a most remarkable case. Youne Murrow still stoutly protests his Innocence and says he would serve fourteen years before he would pay her a cent. He is 22 years old and when he shall have completed his term he will be 29 years of age. It is said that his father can easily raise the money. but that the son declared he would not allow him to do so, protesting that he was innocent and to pay out was not the proper thing to do. The sor row of his mother and wife as well as other relatives was, pitiful, that of the mother especially, 'who hoped, for ac quittal to tee very last. It is clear that public opinion sustains the jury. All of Mr. Murrow's friends told him after the first day of the trial that his son would be convicted that there was no other hope from the evidence adduced. One thing is sure, if he is innocent, he is one - of the most injured men who ever lived. TWINKLINGS First Boxer Every foreign devil who s been here is now writing a book on Uhina.

The domestic influences . were quite the same as heretofore Dullish crop re ports, weather advices, mill accounts and spot cotton trade. The near by holidays were not calculated to stimu late new business and timid longs sold wherever opportunity ; offered, preferring to assume a neutral position during Saturday, Sunday and If onday. The South sold here in the afternoon, wheq the market had a turn for the worse, easing off to the low level of ts)e day. There were com paratively few supporting orders and sentiment was inclined to favor a re action on the idea that Liverpool would come lower to-morrow. Rumors that August notices were t.o be issued to-morrow in large numbers, helped to weaken bull convictions.- The market was finally steady, with prices net four to six points lower.
