'. it represents. But that's the way it ,? is with all the protection organs; they believe in it until it hurts some , of the industries in . which they are ; interested, and then they want to - get rid of it. The shoe making : in dustry ot Massachusetts is an im portant one, there is much money : . invested in it, and it gives employ ment to a great many people. This industry is hurt by the protective tariff on imported hides and leather and therefore the shoe : men want imported' hides and leather put on the free listi anct the Commercial t BuUttin Voices their denaand. In a . recent issue it put in the 'following nlea as an argument against the . tariff duty on hides and leather: ; "At the next meeting of Congress several important questions " will be brousrht no relative to the now exist v iST tariff, -laws.-At ?the present time - - trade associations are organizing - : wards cutting off or adding to the free . and dutiable lists. , The movement at tracting the greatest attention in the 1 shoe and leather markets is that deal ing with the taking off of the IS per - cent duty on hides imported. --; ? , . "When this duty was imposed it was done at the dictation of a few handlers of domestic hides, probably without thought of the serious effect it was to nave on the then growing export duu ness of the boot and shoe industry of this country. When the list showing that a duty was to be imposed, was first brought before Congress in 1887. shoe manufacturers and ' tanners - worked for its downfall, but without success. -Manufacturers of 'leather do . not suffer anything more than an in convenience as they are allowed a " drawback an all leather exported that is made from a foreign hide, but the shoe manufacturer is i badly handi- - capped. . ;.u,yunder; the existing laws the shoe manufacturers in foreign countries . can buy American made leather, after .- all. the expenses incurred in' trans portation have been deducted, cheaper '-": than our borne manufacturers can. There is a law. which allows, the shoe manufacturer a ninety-nine, per cent. rebate, but this means but little to -them as will be seen by a careful read ing of the folio winar letter recently received by the Collector .of the Port or Boston from: Assistant secretary Taylor, of Washington: - - Vxx- The entry under which the mer- chandise is to be inspected and laden mast show, separately, the marks and . numbers of the shipping cases and the contents of each case . as described in the export invoice.

It also shows with what injustice the tariff some times operates, and how one indus try is cramped and taxed to help another which does not need such help, and for the helping of which there is no decent excuse. : But there are other things as well as hides and leather, the taxing of which works hardship and loss to industries as important if not more important than they are. Free wool is as : necessary as free hides When the Wilson-Gorman tariff put wool on the free list it stimulated the woollen manufacturing industry,- and if wool had remained on the free list the probabilities are -that our woollen mills would now not only be supplying the home market, but be j doing a large export busi ness in woollen manufactures. : The Boston paper is right. . . Tne duty should come off imported hides and leather, and also off wool, and some other raw materials, and thus put our manufacturers on the same ( footing with their foreign competitors. THE T2U7ST ABD THE C0TT0H j FABKES8. As another illustration of the ''beneficence" of Trusts, the lead ing qotton seed oil men have had a meeting at New Orleans and fixed the price they will pay for seed this year, acting on the presumption that the planters and ginnerswill have to take that price or keep the seed. Of course arbitrary action like this will evoke protest, as it should, and the protest should be f general. The Farmers' Alii ance of of this State has ' taken the matter in hand and the following address has been issued by the secretary, Mr. F. B. Parker; ' Hiixsbobo, N. a, Sept. 15, 1901. To the Cotton Farmers and Qinners ' of the State: ' Through the courtesy of the editor I address to you this letter on the cot ton seed subject, and trust that it will be accepted by each reader as personal letter to him. I know of nothing that should call for prompt action on the part of the farmers more than this.' . . The action of the National Oil mill men in New Orleans On the 5th, where they met privately and fixed, the price to be paid for cotton seed the coming season at 13 cents free on board boats with; the usual rebate which is equiva lent to X cents free on board the rail, as though the farmer had no voice in the price his products should sell for. should call for a protest from every cotton farmer of the South. This is but a foretaste of what the. trusts will do -. for ! the farmers when they get . them under. full control. If the spirit of American inde pendence which has characterized North Carolinians has waned may its fires be re-kindled In the breast of every farmer on account ot this action of the oil mill men. If you believe the farmer is entitled to a voice in naming the price at which his cotton seed shall sell, go to your court house" next Saturday, the 21st, at 12 o'clock, and there unite with , your fellow far mers in saying so and in protesting against the action of the New Orleans oilmen. Select: a strong, delegation to attend the State 'meeting in Raleigh the 26 th. Do not stay 1 away and ex pect your neighbor to go, but go your self and take him with you. This ap peal is noimaae te any special class of cotton farmers, but to each and every one in the State. . There is no time now for divisions or quibblings, but all should work in harmony with each other. We also invite the business and professional men to join us in this movement. Their presence and influ ence wui oe appreciated. -. A letter just received from Haryie Jordan, i President of the Southern Cotton Growers'. Protective Associa tion, states that he is in full sympathy with the movement and that he will endeavor to get the farmers in every Southern State to . eo-OFerate with us. With determination on the part of the farmers the price fixed by the oil mill men;can be'unfixed" as was the price of jute baling ten years ago; The farmer-wbo. refuses to act now should- in the-future keep quiet about the oppressions of the Trusts, for he ?ractically surrenders Ms birthright, he farmers have the key to the situa tion.

In writing of Theodore Roose velt, now. President, some time ago we remarked that the ' South had no reason to feel apprehensive on ac count of .his becoming President, for he had never manifested any unfriendliness to the South, but on the contrary, when he had occasion to speak, had spoken kindly. Some time ago, in a letter to Gen. Bosser, of Virginia, he referred to the fact that he had Southern blood in his veins, his mother being of Southern birth a Georgia lady. Inasmuch as he was then nursing political aspirations there may have been policy in this, to win friends in this section, but when he published the life of Thomas H. Benton in 1889 he was not nursing political aspira tions', and therefore there could be no suspicion of politics in the fol lowing tribute, in that work,, to the Confederate soldiers and to their great chieftain, Robert Jl. Liee: "The world has never seen better soldiers' than those who followed Lee, and their leader will undoubtedly rank as without exception the very greatest of all the great captains that the English-speaking, peoples have brought forth and this, although the last chief oj his antagonists, may him self claim to stand as the full equal of Marlborough and Wellington." That he said this in sincerity there can be no doubt, and the fact that he did . say it when there could have been no selfish motive in it is creditable to him as a broad and liberal-minded man, even in these days of broadened liberality. It is a noble tribute to the Southern sol dier and to , the- matchless leader, and it is also a tribute to Roosevelt himself. - . - BOOK H0TICES. ; The October number of .

It yPmm to Captw Jar Goal mad Hold Him Far Wooaom. mAq elaborate plot was once laljl tq abduct Jay Gould and bold him for ran-, torn," said an old railroad man,4 ' ''The papers got some inkling of it afterward, bnt the whole story was never told, and the fncident is now generally forgotten. The job was put up by a former curb stone broker of New York, who meditat ed it .tor several years and finally took a couple of desperate crooks into, his con fidence. .' "Their plan was to seize Gould during a visit which he had arranged to pay to a resort in the White mountains and to carry him off to a cabin in a remote and inaccessible part of the forest. Then the ex-broker proposed to go to New York, walk into the millionaire's office and de mand the ransom from his son George. He intended to put the young man on no tice that if he was detained or followed or molested in any-manner his father would certainly be murdered, and he re lied upon bluff and audacity to carry the scheme through. The ransom -decided 'upon was $100,000, and the scoundrels made very elaborate preparations, includ ing even the provisioning of the cabin. "What might have been the outcome; is hard to say,, but a 'woman who knew of the scheme and had been badly treated by-the broker gave the plans away. I've been told by one of the Gould system se cret service men. who was In New York at the time, that the old gentleman took it very coolly and remarked that he could map out ' a campaign on the Stock Ex change that would clean up a good many times the amount of his ransom while he was being held in the woods. I have of ten thought that perhaps the ex-curbstone broker' meditated something of the kind himself. . Of coarse if the trick had been turned . the Gould securities woultf have played all kinds of antics for a 'few days, and a man who knew how .the affair was going to eventuate could have made a for tune. : , - . 7 "For some reason none of the people implicated were arrested, but for a long time afterward special -precautions-were taken whenever Mr. Gould traveled outi of the city.

The market PUSHED for cotton futures opened steady with prices four points lower to . two points higher. The decline was in near months only and was in response to disappointimg Liverpool cables. The late months stiffened upon very bad crop and weather news. Following the call the entire list advanced quite sharply to five points above last night's closing quotation on a scare of shorts and - very active new buying. Liverpool made a quick turn and advanced in keeping with the improvement here, at the same time sending liberal buying or d rs for January cotton. The private wires from Georgia, Alabama and Misissip4 declared that the rains of yesterday had done great dam age to open' cotton. More rain was forecasted for to-day and tonight over this same district Texas reports indicated a shorter crop than heretofore figured on. Be fore 11 o'clock liquidation of a pre hoiiday order weakened the market rapidly, .demand for investment ac count being light, while shorts were quick to take advantage of : the preso sure thus brought to bear. By midday January had broken to 7.70 against 7.84 in the first hour. Heavy western selling of cotton bought on the rise of yesterday was the chief feature in the selling, though New Orleans sent large selling orders here. In the last half hoar the market advanced six points on active covering' and on reports tnat spinners had purchased 2,000 bales in the open spot market The market was finally steady, with prices net three to four points lowei.
