In discussing some time ago the proposition " of the Czar of Russia th&t an international conference be held to consider the question ol bounties, trusts, &c, we expres3ea the opinion that if such a confer- K hoM thft protective tariff www UV would be construed as a bounty, and vnnlil Ha nrnmrlT SO construed, for it is to all intents and purposes simply a bounty, nothing more nor nnr ipa. a bonntv under another name, a distinction without a dif ference. This opinion is sustained by the following from the Washing- Ion correspondent of the Baltimore Sun: The Russian cote on the subject of n international conference for the regulation of government aid to for eign trade, which has been r. ceived by th ftuta DeDirtment at Washington, through Mr. Riddle, Charge of Embas sy at St Petersburg, and made public tfv-dav. is one of the most significant communications this Government ha received from a foreign power in rfv.nt veara. The State Department, as stated ia the Sun several davs ago. did not ex pact to be included among the nations to which this letter wouia oe commu nicated, nor is it the purpose of the Administration to take action on the jcpestion made in the note, the ex cose beinr riven that the Executive has no power to enter upon negotia tions reeulating trade and commerce. Yet this crovernment is, perhaps, more interested than any other. The note distinctlv challenges the pro tec tive tariff as equivalent to the bounty, cartel or government warehouse sys- tsm of discrimination between domes tic prices and export prices on the same articles of trade. It practically Dranas the protective tariff system as a bauntv. enablinsr lower prices on ex ports. The subject is the same dealt with bv Renresentative Grieg, chair man of the Democratic Congressional Committee, in his statement showing a difference between the domestic and the exnort nrice of trust products in this country enjoying the favor of the protective tariff. Aa f ar as it relates to this crovernment, the note harks back to the action of the Secretary of tha Treasury last vear in holding that the bond or warehouse system of Rus sia amounted to an export bounty on sugar. The reference is pointed enough to warrant the inference that a . -r .1 j it u t una war tnreausneu u iuii wuuhj, witn its protection to trusts, which makes it possible to sell abroad cheaper than at home, insists on applying the provision in. the tariff law. which au tharizes discrimination against im Doris which are encouraged by bounty. It is not the present purpose of the Administration to participate in any conference, of the sort suggested by Russia, bat the excuse for not doing so is not altogether valid, since it would be easy for the President to get authority from Congress to take part in the conference if a purpose to strict the trusts really existed with the party of protection The note is in the form of a circular and was handed to St. Petersburg to the representatives of all the powers that took part in the Brussels sugar conference, and, in addition, to Mr. Riddle for transmission to his Govern ment at Washington. Just why this was done, in view of the fact that the United States Government was not represented at the Brussels con ference, can only be conjectured, and it is supposed that it was sup plied as a matter of information and as a courtesy. Certain it is that in the present view the United States Executive cannot participate in such a conference as it described, because of constitutional limitations that can not be escaped, even if there were no other objections. From a perusal of the note it appears that the references to trusts, which are rather incidental and alternative in character, have attracted the principal share of public attention, although the whole note appears to be framed as an argument in support of the Russian system of regulating sugar production and export The reference to an international trust conference is actually therefore presented in the shape of an alterna tive proposal, or rather suggestion, only in case the soundness of the Rus sian contention in support of its pres ent system is successfully challenged. The United States will not be repiesented in such a conference, if one be held, for the double reason that the President has no power to appoint a representative to it and in the second place he would be a mis fit there, as he could do nothing but listen. The main inspiration in the sug gestion of the Czar was not so much to talk over the trust question, for Russia has trusts of her own which the Czar has been as slow in tackling aa the Republican statesmen have been in tackling our trusts, but it is to place impediments in the way of American commerce abroad, which has been making such great strides within the past few years as to cause much alarm in some of the Euro pean countries. For the past couple years there has been much discussion of this subject in Europe, and some of the speakers and writers have gone so far as to advocate a combine of the leading commercial nations of Europe to make common cause to protect themselves against the successful aggressions of competing Americans, but in the action of the Russian Government we have the first na tional recognition of this suggestion. That isn't what the Russian note says, but that is substantially what it means, and coming from Russia, whose friendship" we have always congratulated ourselves we had, it is somewhat significant. In Russia there was nothing that bore any semblance of hostility to American trade until the then Sec retary Gage issued that countervail ing order against imported Russian beet sugar and petroleum, neither of which cut a figure of importance in our imports. But the Treasury order cut a figure in our exports to Russia, which were materially re duced, when they had been growing right along and gave promise of reaching very large proportions. It is not yet a "settled fact that this conference will be held, because all the nations whose co-operation is desired may not be disposed to take part in it, but if it be held it is rea sonably certain that one of the sub jects of discussion will be the protec tive tariff, which will bo classed as. another name, and they who so characterize it will have authority which may be considered good, aa it comes from Republican statesmen who defend the protective I tariff, one of the assertions in its de- i fence being that it serves as oouniy to offset the expert bounties granted by some of the European govern ments. Ther can quote Senator Hanna, Senator Depew, Representa tive Grosvenor, and others, who have asserted that without the protection given by the tariff our American ex- norton of manufactures could not build up trade in foreign countries I and compete with European manufac tures as they have done. The protec tion given them by the tariff offset the bounties paid by other governments and put our manufacturers in a po sition to fight for foreign markets. They cannot plead that they were misquoted, misrepresented or mis- i understood in thi3, for they dwelt i the benefits thus conferred by this protection. The only differ ence is that insceaa oi pavinz a bounty out of the public treasury the protected exporters are by law allowed to levy tribute enough on the home purchasers of their goods to enable them to cut prices when thev Bend their goods abroad and undersell their foreign competitors. This is what these distinguished defenders of protection contended, and there is little doubt that they will be quoted by some who par ticipate in this conference, to prove that the protective tariff is a bounty. We cannot consistently object to export bounties by other govern ments when we pursue that policy ourselves. AMERICANS COMPETUTO WITH AMERICANS. We have referred several times to the emigration from the Western States into Canada. These Western farmers are taking advantage of the opportunities to acquire cheap lands, well adapted to grain growing and to cattle raising, in both of which Can ada will in the near future become a formidable competitor of the United States, in which competition these American emigrants will figure largely. We are told that out of the 50,000 immigrants into Canada this year, 30,000 are Americans, nearly all of whom have located on farms. Can ada will produce this year 75,000,000 bushels of wheat, and it is predicted by Minnesota flour makers that within ten years the production will be 250,000,000 bushels, the principal market for which will be England. We export about 160,000,000 bushels, most of which goes to England, but where will this export business be when Canada produces 250,000,000 bushels, most of which will be for export? It is said that in the cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis alone 20,000 acres of Canadian land are sold daily. This shows the demand for these lands and is an indication of the proportions the emigration movement may attain. This movement is encouraged by the Canadian Government by the, Ca nadian railroads and by the Cana- , , , -1 , ... u'au vv, wiiu iu ic me uu.uu- mg np of the Dominion, and mak ing it a powerful competitor of this country in the exporting of food stuffs, one of this country's past and present sources of wealth. It is a matter in which we are quite aa much interested as the Canadians, for their gain will be our loss. Mr. J. W. Cain, who lives near Fayetteville, comes of long-lived stock. He told the Observer a few days ago that his grandfather, who served in the war of the Revolu tion, lived to be 92 years old and had a cousin who lived to be 107. This reminds the Observer of other people who were long livers, one named Overby, in Surry county, who reached 114, whose wife reached 101. Their oldest child was 84 before they died. At the age of 112 the old gentleman was men tally and physically well preserved and nimble enough to work his gar den. , The Richmond Times quotes "an intelligent and observant American who has spent several years in Cuba" as saying that the common people are in favor of a government of their own, while the commercial classes favor annexation to the United States. That's the conclu sion that lots of intelligent people who have not spent several years in Cuba have come to. It is said that President Palma is preparing to xorce pig-tail-whistle Bragg out of his job. There should be , no need of that. Gen. Bragg has unquestionably made himself a persona non grata to the Cubans, and this government should as a matter of courtesy call him home and give him some other job for which he is, under the circumstances, better fitted. Canada's exports of manufactures increased from $7,693,957 to $18, 462,970 since 1893, and this was done without any protective tariff. PLAYTHO DOUBLE. Major E. F. Olenn, who was con- victed by court martial of adminis tering the water cure to the Presi dente of Igbaras, in the island of Panay, admitted the act but pleaded justification by the conditions which confronted him. He says in his published defence that when he arrived in Panay he found every man, woman and child an enemy that those who pretended to be friendly were playing double, that they were treacherous and assassina ted Americans whenever the oppor- I tunity presented itself, they are or- ganized in secret societies and pub licly proclaim that they would sac rifice twenty Filipino lives to take the life of on6 American; that they poison their arrows, spears and bolos to make sure their work; that they are enemies now and always will be. This is the justification he pleads for administering the water cnre to that Presidente, from whom he wanted information which the water cure brought him. Notwithstanding his defenoe he was convicted, fined $50 and tem porarily suspended from active ser vice, which sentence was approved by President Rooseyelt. Of course they all plead justifica tion, where the charge is admitted. Waller pleaded justification for hanging eleven Filipinos without the formality of a trial, and "kill and burn" Jake Smith also pleaded jus tification. But the notable point in Major Glenn's defence is his opinion of the Filipinos, and his declaration that they are "enemies now and always will be." In the first Gen. Chaffee agrees with him, for he had pre viously in a report pronounced the Filipinos the most deceitful and treacherous people on the earth. Both differ very materially from the civilians who tell us that it will be a question of only a little time when the Filipinos will all be good Ameri cans and will love us like brothers. There will be a miracle performed and "the Ethiopian will change his skin and the leopard his spots." Maj. Glenn, by the way, is a Greensboro man, a son of the late Dr. R. W. Glenn. He was appoint ed to West Point by Gen. A. M. Scales, who then represented the 5th district in Congress. John W. Gates and other Chicago capitalists, have organized a $3,000,- 000 airship combine. They are backing an Indiana inventor who says he has an air-boat which lifts itself without gas, and can scoot along at the rate of 250 miles an hour, which he thinks will be as fast as people generally will care to travel. He is going for that $200,000 St. Louis Exposition prize. CURRENT CUMMEN! Senator Spooner's defeat in Wisconsin leads to a Spooner boom for the Vice-Presidency, which shows that the Presidency is regard ed by the politicians as a convenient shelf for "has beens." Richmond Times, Dem. Ex-Senator Pettigrew says the silver question has been elimina ted by the increased production of gold. As the silver question was the ex-senators pnncipai stoock in trade, it seems strange that while he gives it up many Democrats who have so mnch more .to fight for should cling to it so fondly, especial ly as it jeopardizes the success of all olaa fliat fliav with fft orrmTKoVi .vj vwwuui.. jaccsonvtlie lmes-Union, uem. The rejoicings of the Admin istration press over the defeat o1 some Republican Congressmen in the West for renomination who opposed the Cuban sugar reciprocity scheme are moderating somewhat, in view of the nomination of other candidates who are as much op posed to the scheme as were their predecessors. Charleston News and Courier, Dem. The most malicious, meddle some, at the same time foolish phase of imperialism, is that which crops out in some people who go around the country arguing that the Cu bans are incapable or self-government. What did we go to war with Spain for? And why did we in our declaration of war assert both the right and capacity of the Cubans for self-government? This kind of talk will tend to destroy the good feeling-which the Cubans .entertain toward this country and make the performance of our duty to them all the more difficult Memphis Netos, Dem.

Five or six barns of tobacco were lost by fire in this coun ty last week. Two were mentioned by us Saturday. Mr. R. F. Hodges, lost a barn Friday and Dr. Mark Hodges lost a barn near L&Grange on ihe same day. Mr. W. T. Moseley lost a barn Saturday morning. All of these are within a radius of ten miles from Einston. The two Messrs. Hodges are near LaGrange and Mr. Moseley lives in Vance township. Raleigh News and Observer: On the trestle over Richardson's creek, two miles east of Monroe, Sunday, two little negro girls were instantly killed and a third fatally injured by an S. A. L. freight running from Mon roe to Hamlet. Five little girls were near the western end of the trestle when the train Fo. 9 approached. Just beyond the trestle there is a long curve and the engineer did not get a clear view of the trestle until within a short distance of it. A large water tank also obstructed his view. The little girls seemed not to have heard the approach of the train, which was going rather rapidly. The en gineer did everything possible to stop his engine and the little girls ran rapidly for safety, but only two of them escaped. Statesville Landmark: Three mules were killed by lightning on the Ham farm, in Bharpesburg township, Sunday afternoon. They were found Monday morning all lying in a heap under a black oak tree in the pasture, where they had been turned to graze. The tree under which the mules were found showed no signs of being struck by lightning. Revenue Officers Davis, Ktnipe and Sams captured a large distilling plant in New Hope township Tuesday. It was located near Evalin postoffice. Two stills were being operated together with a total capacity of about fifty gallons of whiskey per day. When the officers arrived the fire was still burning, but the operators had fled. The officers seized eleven fermenters. three grain bins of 500 bushels capacity, caps and worms, thirty-nve gallons of whiskey and a large amount of beer. It seems that the moonshiners had been warn ed to flee, as they had moved the two stills before the officers arrived.

A new light on the fourth command ment comes from the antipodes. "The man who does not labor during six days of the week is as great a sinner as the Sabbath breaker." So says an Austra-,. lian Anglican divine, who lays emphasis on the first part of the injunction "Six days sbalt thou labor." He considers that the part enjoining rest on the Sab hath is naturally more popular and better known than the one ordering work on the six previous days. It is open to argument whether this reading involves the fallacy of accent, as the logicians call it. Lon don Chronicle. Eagtllali lfaval Dress.

The Phoenicians made all kinds of blown class at Tyre and Sidon in 1450 B.C. , Colored glass windows were placed in the abbey of Tegernsu. Bavaria, in 999 A. D. The church of St. Cyprian, at Murano, was din-orated with glass mosaics in 882 AD. . Cameo glass came into nse among the Komans (i'ortland and fJaples vases) in 79 AD. Blown and cut greenish transparent glass bowls were made by the Assyrians in 722 B. C. In 1747 Connecticut granted to Thomas Darling the exclusive right to make glass in the colony. Flexible glass was shown at the court of Casimir IV., king of Poland, by an Italian in the year 1445. Plate glass windows for coaches were made at the Duke of Buckingham's works in London in 1C73. Essays in colored glass window work on new and original lines were attempted in the United States in 1870. The oldest painted windows now in England are in the choir at Canterbury cathedral, which date from 1174. The oldest piece of dated glass known is an Egyptian amulet now in the British museum which was made in 3004 B. C. St. Sophia, at Constantinople, when re built by Justinian in 532 A. D., was adorned with colored windows and mo saics. Jewelers' Circular Weekly. A Kewipaper Motto.

The cotton market opened steady with prices two points Higher to one point lower, and then worked upward on moderately active demand from shorts, some for eign buying of August and what ap peared to be profit taking by promi nent Wall street interests. This buy ing was induced In good part by reports tnat .nooas were general in the Brazos valley and other districts of Texas, . where heavy rains occurred last night. The early Liverpool cables were very disappointing and private telegrams from the belt in general reported a fine outlook for a bumper yield. Yet the fear of nos- sible damage to the Texas crop in duced the smaller shorts to retreat and changed the attitude of larger bears from the offensive to tha de fensive. Towards midday the scare subsided somewhat and nricea settled back several Doints. The weekly crop weather report of the government failed to influx the market annreciablv either vit Toward the close there was- another sharp buying movement on which prices worked up to the best figures of the morning and business broadened materially, The close whs steady with prices net one to seven nnintn higher.

Chicago, July 29. Bears were in full control of all grain markets most of the day. The decline was not con fined to manipulated options, but the whole list, wheat, corn, oats and rye. in all months went lower under the smothering weight of big receipts and prospects of immense coarse grain crops. In July, where sensational crops . were expected, the bears were somewhat disappointed. In the other deliveries, however, where prices were considered on a fair commercial basis, the .drops were sudden and disastrous to the bulls and in all quite, astonishing. Toward the close, a reaction set in in most grains and especially in July oats, which had lost 5c.
