Announcement has been made within tnAnAfit fflw flaTs thai the Czar of Busaia has invited an inter- fn consider the subject of Trusts and to demise some way to protect the people irom tneir . i mi Zm a nrattT crftn extortions. There is a pretty gen era! complaint in European coun tries which hare protective tariffs, (as most of them haye) and also pay eiDort bounties, that tne ooum-jf f avnrpfl Manufacturers take advan tage of the bounty, export largely ATI BTY1 all mArtrin of profit, and make their big profits, as the pro tected Trusts in this country do, out of the home consumers. The export bounties of one country also ffMt HPrionalv the industries of other countries, which cannot pay such larger bounties and the proba- bilities are that Russian manufac turers thus suffer, which may account tnr the anctrestiou and the interest - oo tho firar takes in this proposed in ternational conference. Th opinion is entertained in WaaMntrton that it isn't so much the export bounties paid by Euro pean Governments that inspire this mrwAnumt. as the progress that AmariMn exporters have made in building up trade in European coun tries and within "the spheres of in fluence" of those countries in other countries where they have done some grabbing and secured a foot hold. Russia, for instance, has been carrying out for several years a de liberately formed plan to get pos session of the Chinese trade, and her seizure, under alleged agree ment with Li Hung Chang, of Man churia is a part of that plan. If she succeeds in retaining Manchuria, she will in time, as events develop and the opportunity presents itself, hro&den her lines, and as she broadens her lines so will she extend her trade. She is in a better posi tion to do that when she becomes fully equipped for trade than any other nation on the earth, for she is the only one of them that can reach China without crossing a sea, the only one that can follow up her trade with soldierv. if need be, without ships of war and transports. The fact is the future of China is largely in the hands of Russia, which has already beerun to look upon that country as her exploiting ground. There has been much talk since the Spanish war of this country having become "a world power" and that talk has nearly always been connected with China and the Chi nese trade, and incidentally with Russia and Germany, the two most active grabbers; that this country intended to lay claim to a large part of the trade of the Orient, by which China was meant, and that she didn't mean to be bluffed, frozen or beaten out of it. These Governments, especially Russia, which is the most interested, have not failed to make due notice of all this, and while we may and probab bly will extend our trade in China, it will require persistent and system atic effort to do it, and still more persistent effort to hold it. A significant fact in this conn ec tion is that this country has not been invited to participate in this conference, although it is said that a representative would be welcome if he came. There is little like lihood of an American representa tive being there, if such a con ference be held, because in the first place he would feel like an intruder where un invited, and in the second place this Government wouldn't feel like putting itself in a position to be dictated to in matters affecting her export business by nations with which we come more or less in com petition, and which would have an object in cramping American effort to expand trade. If an American representative were there when the question of reducing or abolishing export bounties came up he would be compelled to face the problem of changing our protective tariff, which is regarded by the European countries with which we compete as a bounty in another form. They are supported in this view by utterances of such Republican statesmen as Senators Hanna and Depew and Representative Grosve nor, each of whom give the protec tive tariff as the reason why Ameri can manufacturers can compete with the manufacturers of other countries and take trade away from them; in other words, the protective tariff of this country does for Ameri can manufacturers what the boun ties paid by European countries do for their manufacturers. When the American manufacturer of steel rails can put his rails down in Eu rope, pay freight on them and sell them for ten dollars a ton less than the home price, the reason assigned I M tl ?AY. i i . I ior u tne protective tans, without I which he could not do that. If. then, this conference considered the matter of bounties, the abatement of which they regard essential to the "fair trade'' they desire, the American bounty would, of course, come in on the same footing with the European bounties. But as there is no likelihood of this Government trying to square her protective system to meet the views of European countries, the only thine to do by the countries which participate in this confer ence, if one be held, will be, if they can find a basis of agreement, to combine against this country by restrictive legislation keep and the American out of European markets: the main object in view, it is thought, in proposing such a con ference. They may not be able to Airree noon such a plan because they hare conflicting interests, bu if they can't then each nation mus act for itself and nothing is surer I "" "J will be inspired by the desire to pu obstacles in the way of American trade expansion. The sooner we tackle the Trust problem and settle it ourselves the sooner we will allay European fears remove the growing antipathy and deprive our enemies of some of their strongest arguments against Ameri can trade aggression. BECOMING ALARMED. The cotton spinners of England I are becoming apprehensive as to the future of their industry and. their ability to hold the lead they now have as the world's principal cotton goods manufacturers. The increas in? cost of cotton they say, as a re suit of speculation, cornering, &c will entail an extra expense of $100, 000,000 a year on them for the raw material, and the question is can they under such circumstances; compete with the manufacturers o other countries and of this country which produces cotton, and to which the English mills, for the present a least, must look for their main sup. plies? Thev may be somewhat ex- , ceasivdy alarmed as to the increased cost of the raw materials, but they have, aside from this, sufficient grounds for their fears a3 to being able to hold the ascendancy they have had. There was a time when the Eng lish mills controlled the industry of the world, as the New England mills did for this country, but that day is passing for both of them, and it is but a question of time when both will occupy a subordinate po sition and rank second or third where they were Bupreme. Instead of being confined to sections or lo calities, as it was, cotton manufac taring is becoming a world industry, and that section or that locality which can manufacture and sell it the cheapest, quality being consid ered, will be supreme. Within the first two decades hun dred of new mills have been erected in this country, most of them in the South. Many have been erect ed in Japan, China, India, Russia, Germany and other countries. These all contribute their portions to the world's stock of cotton goods, and these will be to a greater or lesser extent competitors of the English spinners. Russia is making an effort and is succeeding pretty well in growing her own cotton. Germany is en deavoring to do the same in her African possessions. Russia will eventually supply not only her own mills bnt the mills of China, while thia country will not only supply her own mills but will continue to raise a surplus for export and it will be on this that the . English mills must mainly depend. Under, such circumstances what question that they must eventually take a second place if not lower? This will not happen in a year, nor in ten years, perhaps, but it will happen, for they cannot hope to bring their supplies across the ocean and compete with mills located in or near by the cot ton fields. STRIKES AHD THE PUBLIC. The pending strike in the anthra. cite coal mines has elicited consider able discussion as to the rights of the public, which is in the end the greatest sufferer by such strikes. There is no disposition to question the right of workmen to quit work individually or in a body if they feel that they have cause and decide to do so, nor is there any disposition to question the right of the employer to control his property and make such rules and regulations as may be necessary, but there is a disposition to question the right of either to be come bull-headed when they-happen to differ, and thereby impose op pressive burdens upon the public, to whom they both owe obligatiens,bur dens in comparison with which the matters in dispute between the em ployer and the employed bear- no comparison. While this applies to some extent to all strikes, it does with particular force to those affecting industries which supply the necessaries of life, such as a coal strike, the recent strike of the teamsters of the West ern meat packers, and the still more recent strike of the truckmen in Chicago. The public is vitally in terested in such strikes, for it is the public which suffers most by them. With the striker it is a question of waees. with the employer a ones- tion of profits, but with the public it is a question of bread and fuel. The public is never considered. apparently doesn't figure in the cal culations, and yet, aside from the inconvenience and the suffering, it in the end pays the cost of all these strikes. If the strikers succeed in gaining the increase of wages de manded, when that is the point of contention, the employers add enough to the price of the articles involved to pay them back for the concessions made, and the publio pays the bill. We have contended that when there is an enforced suspension, re sulting from disagreements between operators and operatives, in those A. industries upon which the people are dependent for their daily sup plies of food, fuel, &c, there ought to be some power to step in between them and unyielding obstinacy and protect them. It isn't clear how this can be done, but the publio welfare demands that it should be done, and there ousrht to be some way devised to solve that problem. In such cases the publio welfare ought to be paramount. Miss Stockton, who gives her views in a New York paper, agrees with that St. Louis preacher, who declared in a sermon that a woman could propose marriage with as much propriety as a man. There is a woman in our Durham county who agrees with both of them, and proved it by getting the marriage license, going to the field where her fellow, younger than she, was at work, driving him to the 'squire's 'shop, and after they were spliced huatlinj? him into a wagon for a bridal tour. Senator Clark, of Montana, walked into a Helena barber shop, which his bov recommended, for a shave and hair cut. When he was done up he handed the artist 50 cents, the regular price. The artist looked at the half dollar and remarked that Charley, the Senator's son, always gave him $5. In reply the Senator answered that Charley had a rich father and could afford to be so lib eral but he didn't have any rich father. And it went at the 50 cents. S00K H0TICES.

Tarboro Southerner: The hot winds which prevailed for a few days are reported to have damaged cotton quite much. A few farmers report the shedding of leaves. In 1884 it is said that no rain fell from - July 4th till November, yet there was a large cotton crop made. It is probable that the first half of that year was not as dry ss has been the first six months of this.

Washington Messenger: A more disconsolate set of men cannot be found anywhere than the farmers we met in town yesterday. It seemed every one we met was suffering from a genuine attack of the blues. They tell us two weeks aro the prospect was the largest crop of corn ever raised in Beaufort county would be harvested thia year. Now, on account of the con tinued dry weather, the fodder in some places on the corn was ripe enough to pull, and on corn that had not tassled. In some places the wells are so low it is nearly impossible to get drinking water, especially for stock, and the bear and other wild animals are leav ing the swamps in search of water, and are playing havoc with pigs. Unless there is rain in the next three or four days the crop so promising a few weeks ago will be a complete failure.

It wonld seem from the following story that even our dauntless president, Mr. Roosevelt, had his private fears when he was a boy. He was loath to go to church one Sun day, and when asked by his mother why he did not care to go replied that he was afraid the "seal" would eat him up. This fearful bugbear he could not de scribe, but said that the minister had read about him. Then Mrs. Roosevelt took the concord ance and read tests with the word seal in them. Finally she found the right one. "That s it! cried her son. It was a verse in Psalms lxix. "For the seal of thine house hath eaten me up." Football Id Japam. Among the many things that Japan borrowed from China was football, said to have been introduced as early as the middle of the seventh century.

But, as most oriental races are averse to hard work and active games, football must hare been played in a different manner from that in which American boys play it Nevertheless the' Japanese form seems to hare been popular, and we may trace the beginnings of professional games to an emperor and his court, of whom it is told that in a tune of poverty they earned a little extra money by teaching football.

The cotton market opened weak, with prices lour to nineteen points lower and throughout most of the session was irregular under flurries of selling and buying for nervous operators who were greatly disturbed by unexpected developments in the Bummer months. The English cables were a disappoint ment The crop and weather news averaged up decidedly in favor of the bears and then trade re ports from cotton goods centres were not specially gratifying. Yet the dominating factor of the day was the issuanee of some 35.000 July notices by a prominent Philadelphia spot cot ton firm. The first sale of July was at 8.60, but the next sale ou the call was at 8.50, from which there was a still further drop to 8 43 or twentv- six points off from the final price of last night. There were re- actory periods later, but in the main the market was weak on near positions and barely steady on new , crop montbs. The weekly crop weatner report from Washinclon proved about as expected. Tbe room seemed to give the great -bulk of at tention to the Summer positions, and all sorts of rumors were in circulation. as to the intention of the Philadelphia contingent in August. Covering was indulged in to some extent late in the day, and at the elosa the market was steady and net three to twenty-one points lower. NW YORK, July 33.

There was marked variance between the slump ing provisions market to-day and the highly manipulated condition of Sep tember wheat that influenced sharp ad vances in ail grades in the face of bear ish conditions. Outsiders, tired of carrying tne ioaa or toity prices for the packing interests, unloaded to-day with such vim that pork broke 75o a barrel.
