The Republican organs and spell binders are constantly declaiming about the great era of prosperity which the country is now enjoying, and claim it is the result of the Dingley tariff. Assuming, for the sake of argument, that the country is as prosperous as they say it is, it does not follow that the credit is due for this to the Dingley tariff, since that played a very insignificant part, if it played any at all. The plows of this country have been a more potent factor in whatever of prosperity we may have had, or have now, than all the protective tariffs ever constructed. The revival of business began before the Dingley tariff went into effect, began under the Wilson "free trade1 tariff, and the depression in business began under the McKinley tariff, bo that if tariffs have anything to do in causing business adversity or pros perity the McKinley tariff is respon sible for the depression in 1S93 and the Dingley tariff had nothing to do with the revival in 1896. The true cause will be found in the good crops in this country and the poor crops in Europe, creating a demand for mil lions of bushels of wheat and corn, which brought millions of dollars into the country and distributed it among the farmers of the West. That was the beginning of the pros perity, before the Dingley tariff be- uiuioauwi lug Tl utuu ucc uauc tariff was then in operation. We have had good grain crops in this country since with the excep tion of a short corn crop last year, and there have been partial crop failures in European countries since then until this year, when there is said to be more than an average wheat crop, which will reduce the imports to a comparatively small figure. The grain growers of the West have prospered for this rea son and they would have prospered more without the Dingley tariff, which took out of their pockets much of the money that went into them. The manufacturers and others dealing in the food stuffs and other articles in common use have pros pered. They owe their prosperity in a large measure to the Dingley tariff, which practically shut out competition. Here was the begin ning of the trusts as we have them now. We had some trusts before, but nothing in comparison with the number and the colossal propor tions that we hare them now, when nearly every article used by the people)! controlled by some sort of a trust. It would be very difficult to name a commercial article that is not. As a general thing these trusts have prospered, some of them earning many millions annually, from the enhanced prices, nearly all of which came ont of the pockets of the American consumers, for they deal fairly with, and are satisfied with a moderate profit from their foreign customers. But how about the wage earners in city, and town, the millions who support themselves and families on daily wages or fixed salaries? With the exception of the wealthy who can live without labor and with whom the cost of liying is no matter of concern, this embraces millions of of people. If prosperity means the opportunity to work and earn some thing and means nothing more, then there are more of these prospering than there were during the Industrial depression which began under the McKinley tariff. But la the opportunity to work for wages that must all go for the necessaries of life, prosperity for the working men? Not much. It ia simply escaping starvation, working stead fly, liying close, indulging in f ew comforts, with rarely luxury, and ending the year no better off, It as well off as he began it. That is not prosperity as it should exist ana isn't a bit better than the slave 'en joy who works for a master who Oo0a him wfill fed and well oared i for. If the working men of the land are prospering, why all these strikes Whv this -unrest among the toners Why these frequent demands for w an increase of wages ? The America workmen is not a trouble fomenter He does not envy bis employer the I prosperity that may come to him rather rejoices in it, but he feels tha he is entitled to share in some or. that prosperity, especially'when he is fully convinced that his employe could do the fair thing by him with out doing injury to himself, or ma terially lessening his profits, as general thing American workme are men of fair intelligence, most c them are readers of the papers, and thev keeD pretty well up with in dustrial movements. They read the progress in our industries, the cost of production, the market quo tations, the amount of business done, and the profits thereon. Some of the large corporations boast thair larre profits, while their em- a ploves, the men who make the profits possible, have to scuffle hard to procure the necessaries of life, to house and clothe their families The American workman doesn't see any prosperity, true prosperity, in that, nor can anv one else. The I prosperity which is enjoyed only by certain classes, the fayored few and is not distributed, is a spurious ar tide. IT IS A GOOD THING. President Roosevelt's Southern tour closed Tuesday when ho passed through this State on his return to Washington. He seems to have been favorably impressed with what he saw of the State and people and to have been deeply touched by the cordiality of his reception, if we mav iudere from the warmth with which he expressed his appreciation, his speech at Asheville being 6ven more broad-gauged and thoroughly American (to use one of his own phrases) than his speech at Chatta nooga was. Aside from his tributes to the South and her people, and to North Carolina and her people in partic ular, all of which was no doubt fully appreciated by those to whom they were addressed, he made one remark pertinent to the occasion and also suggestive, when he said "It is a good thing for an American President to have a chance to travel through the different sections of the country, because it is a mighty good thing for any American to meet his fellow Americans at differ ent parts of the country in order that he may realize how trivial are the points of unlikeness and how essential are the points of likeness." That is true about Presidents and it is true also as to the statesmen who make the laws to govern the country and shape its financial and economic policies. There are Sena tors and Representatives who have served many years in Washington, (many of them) who by personal in tercourse know practically nothing of any other section of the country than their own, and for the know ledge they have of the people, the re sources, the industries and the possi bilities of other sections, are depend ent upon what they read in history, and in the current literature of the day, frequently biased and some times grossly false. It is utterly im possible for such men to act intelli gently and wisely in framing laws which affect those sections. Legis lators ought to know something about the people and the sections for which they legislate; if they did we would possibly have better and more equable laws. Ab an illustration of what timely co-operation sometimes does, the Atlanta Journal cites the case of a merchant in one of the towns down there, who failed for $10,000. In stead of hounding him down and making life miserable, his fellow burgers called a town meeting, raised the money to straighten him out and gave him five years to square up. He did it. He is now worth over $100,000, and sticks to the town that stuck to him. That Kentucky fellow who re moved some of the obstacles to his marriage by 'throwing out of the window two of the young woman's brothers who objected to the match, didn't propose to be discouraged by family interference. The knet was tied before the ejected brothers could work their way back into the church. That Pittsfield motorman who ran down the President s carnage claimed that he had the right of way. That's about what the mana gers of the Pennsylvania ( anthracite mines are doing. They 'claim they that have the right to run the mines in their own way and are going to do it no matter who suffers. Here is another sample of the hoodooed 13. A Polish prophet pre dicts that the final smash-up of this mundane sphere will come off in the year 1913. o Bamtbt t l Kind Yw Haw Always BocgM of THE FURNITURE COMBINE. A lAttar from Durham to the Charlotte Observer giveB some in- fnrmiti'nn a-rrtlainincr whV it WAS that a nombine of the Southern furniture manufacturers has been proposed. It seems that for some tim the Northwestern furniture manufacturers have been endeavor ing to form a combination with our Southern faotories, competition from which was becoming a serious problem with the Western factor- ion. Tha rjrooosition was that the A Southern factories go into the com bine, and curtail production, which practically meant that some of the factories now in operation must sus pend, and no new ones be built. Our Southern factory men couldn't see it, didn't propose to tie a stone like that around their necks, and respectfully, but firmly declined. Then they were threatened with war. and to be better able to meet this by presenting a united front and fighting together the combine was proposed. This is the statement of the case as coming from "a reliable source,' probably Gen. Carr, who is inter ested in a furniture factory in Dur ham, and has been asked to man age the combine. According to this writer there are 146 furniture facto ries in the South (North Carolina leading), which do a business of $6,000,000 a year. Without expressing any opinion on the merits of this movement, of which we know nothing save what we have read, we commend the level headed action of the furniture men in refusing to tie themselves to the Northwestern combine. With the advantages they have in abundant and comparatively cheap timber, and the progress they have made in find ing markets for their goods in other States, it would have been stupid folly to form such an entangling al liance and put themselves in the power of men whose only motive in seeking the alliance was to stop the competition that has become a seri ous matter with them. What is true of Southern furni ture factories is true of all Southern industrial enterprises. They have nothing to gain, but much to lose by outside alliances. Franklin county, in Georgia, is reported to be one or the best agri cultural counties in that State and has the thriftiest farmers in the State, and the Augusta Chronicle thereupon remarks that "most Geor gians know nothing of that county at all." It occurs to us that Frank lin county must be short on news papers. J. P.

He said, however, he did not get too near him, for if the man was dead people would say he killed him, and on the other hand if the man was alive he might jump up and whip him for being so slow about bringing help. Goldsboro Argus: The recent dry weather has enabled the farmers to harvest the cotton crop and if noth ing interferes the crop will be virtual ly out of the fields by the 1st of Octo ber. The school census of Golds boro township, just completed, shows the number of white children in the township to be 1483. a .ecrease of 18 from last year's census. The city proper has 560 males and 534 females. Tbe township outside the city has 166 males and 223 females. Of those be tween the age of 12 and 20 who can neither read nor write only 33 are found in the township. Monroe Journal: A gentleman who has figured it out says that not less than $40,000 is spent in Union county each year for whiskey, and more than $10,000 for tobacco. Mr. G. O. Fullenwider, of this place, was badly cut up last Friday night by a man named Fred DavL, at the former's still-house at Peachland. He received gaaher, one on each nside of the throat and one across the top of the head five inches long. The house, with all its contents, of Mr. James Polk, of Ban dy Ridge township, was burned Satur day morning before day. He was well fixed and the loss is heavy, with no insurance. Beside the house and fur niture, two one-horse wagons were burned. The fire probably caught from ashes under the stove. The recent election held in Union county on the dispensary question was per haps the first election held in the State under tbe provisions oi me Amend ment. In it the negro cut no figure whatever. Apparently he has retired from politics without a struggle, and now white men decide questions ai me ballot box. Charlotte Observer: A burning sparrow nest up under the eaves of the building occupied by the Western Union Telegraph Company, was the cause or the bringing out or the Charlotte fire department Monday morning. The nest contained a large mount of straw and fragments of psper under a galvanized iron eornice and burned out without having done any damage to the building. The cause was probably spontaneous com bul lion. The nest or tbe tfngllsn spar row is someting wonderful, as will be found by those who may dissect one. The basis is usully straw and dried grass, and the nest is invariablp lined with scraps of paper and feathers. The average nest will contain enough material to fill a half bushel measure. Not infr quently matches are found among the twigs that are woven into ihe nest. It is a matter of record that the Catholic monastery at Belmont was burned several years ago by a fire that started in a sparrow nest under the eaves of the main building. Peo ple whose houses are stuccoed with these nests should dislodge them. They are not safe to have about the house. TWINKLINGS.

The sham battle was at its height A young oflicer galloped up to the Tenth lnfantrjrstandlng In an open field and called out to the colonel: 1 "The Judges have decided that your regiment has been slaughtered." "Field officers all killed?" "Kvery oue." "Good." BiUd the colonel, Bheathlng his sword and unclasping his belt. "Since I am dead I'll take a snack." The colonel called for his haversack, spread liia luncheon on a napkin, ate his fill, washed it down with a pull at his ilask and lighted a cigar. He was rather young for a colonel, only twenty-five, but a bloody war had killed off a lot of men ahead of him. The sun was hot, and he was very drowsy, so be left his men and walked away to a tree, under whose limbs he stretched his graceful figure. He was sleeping soundly when one of the contending generals rode by, the general on whose side the colonel was arrayed. He was accompanied by his staff and his daughter, riding a brown filly and clad in a habit trimmed with gold lace. "What's the matter with Colonel Uls ter ?" demanded the general. "He's dead," replied the lieutenant colonel, coming up. The general's daughter shrieked, threw up her hands and would have fallen from her horse had not the chief of staff caught her. There was a sen sation among the officers present, hut no one laughed. A sudden thrill, like a death struggle, passed through the colonel's body, but beyond this he showed no signs of consciousness. The general flashed a glance at his daugh ter as though he wished a stray shot would knock out her silly brains. "He's not really dead, Miss Itosa niond." whispered the chief of staff, "This is n sham, you know." "Ob!" gasped the lady, turning crim son. No one could tell whether she was pleased or grieved at the informa tion. "Didn't the Tenth carry the works on Cuuckers hill?" asked the general. "No. general," replied the lieutenant colonel; "the Judges decided that we were slaughtered and all the field of ficers killed." "Humph!" replied the commander. "The matter should hve been reported to me at once." And, putting spurs to his horse, he rode on, followed by his daughter, staff and escort. They were no sooner out of sight than the colonel sat up. "That's the most ridiculous give away I ever heard of. That's why we can't make soldiers of women. No mat ter how strong a front they present, there's no knowing but that If a mouse should run through their ranks they would give way to panic. Here I've been hanging about her for months, cringing, pleading, she throwing me off, fooling me all the while, only to let it out In this silly fashion. Well, 6be's in for it now. It'll be the talk of every garrison in the army, and If she refuses me again they'll all say that it was I who didn't come up to the scratch." The soliloquy was Interrupted by a roar of artillery, volleys of musketry, huzzas. Then the bugler sounded a re call. The battle was over. "This corpse," remarked the colonel, rising, "goes to quarters. Topight he goes to receive the surrender." Taps was sounding when the colonel rang at General Pertle's quarters. He called for Miss Rosamond, and after considerable delay the lady came down. "Rosamond," he said, "pardon me for coming to you again after having been so lately refused for the sixth time" "The sixtieth, you mean," she said, tapping "her silken sandaled foot" on the rug. "It will be the six hundredth before I give you up." "Doubtless your boldness this even ing comes from that ridiculous mistake which occurred on t;be field today." "What mistake?" "Don't tell me that you didn't bear" She hesitated. "Do the dead hear?" "They certainly do not snore." "Well, then, do those who snore hear?" "You had ceased to snore when I when the lieutenant colonel" "Never mind, Rosamond, what the lieutenant colonel said. I have come for the seventh time" "The sixty-first, you mean." "Well, the sixty-first time, to ask the woman I love, the only woman I have ever loved or will ever" "Can't you change the form of your proposal? You have used those words every time." "I will try. It is whispered among the officers' wives" "None of their wives was present." "Their husbands told them that J had won your heart only to throw l away: that you, not I" Cease such gossip. I do not wish to hear It" "At the officers mess this evening J saw by their looks that something bad happened, and I overheard a remark coupling my name with yours, 'It la false,' I said. 'Gentlemen, I have tho honor to announce my engagement with Miss Rosamond Pertle.' " "You dared to do such a thing?" "I did. I beg of you. Rosamond, sweetheart, to confirm what I have said." He put his arm about her and drew her toward him. "Go at once to your father and tell him of our en gagement" . i "There is no need to do that.'! "Why not?" "Because." she said, dropping her head on his breast, "I announced it to him as soon as we returned from the sham battle this afternoon.'' F. A. &IJ.TCHEL. From the Theater Gallery. Mr. W.

An extremely stout, good tempered woman contrived to wedge herself into a space that would have accomrnpdated a person of ordi nary size, to the unconcealed annoy? fence of a smartly dressed youth next to her. She began to peel au orange, and the youth, with a gesture of com plaint, removed his silk hat fussily to a safer position. "I suppose," said the good tempered woman, "that you'd rather have had a gentleman sitting by the side of you. sir, wouldn't you?" The youth replied snappishly In the affirmative. "Ah," said the woman thoughtfully, "so would I!" ' Preaemec of Mind.

Tne cotton market opened firm, with prices two to five points higher on yiorous de mand from nervous shorts and brisk buying for commission house account. The feature of the latter was Wall street purchases of tbe January option. Following the call the mar ket further improved on active general buying and the com para live scarcity of offerings January worked up to 8.37 against 8.17 on Monday night. September scored a rise of fifteen points, to 8.48 from 8.33 on the clos9 yesterday. Bullish crop reports from tbe belt west of the Mississippi and reports that too much rain had fallen in parts of Geor gia created uneasiness among the shorts and prompted investment buying. Eaglish cables were of a 'nendly tenor and spinners appeared to be buying the Fall optics here. Heavy receipts for torday and tsti mates for large port and interior ar rivals to morrow later caused a profit- lasing movemenr, unuer wntcn prices broke eight to twelve point p, January selling down to 8 26c A fore- east for generally fair weather over the belt and claims of that pot cotton was being freely of fered . at a shade lower values helped to depress the market for the time being. Later in the day another active buying movement occurred and prices once more advanced rapidly. September reaching 8.46 and January 8,25 on this tack. On the yery clos ing a ruth, to secure profits cut down the advance considerably. The mar- set was nnaiiy barely steady with prices net eleven points higher to two points lower, the remote option only being below the close of last night. September led the advance. Total sales were estimated at 30,0000 bales, mostly Winter months. NMW YORK. Rftnt If) Tlntfnn niiiot at 8 ; net receipts bales; gross re ceipts 3,030 bales; stock 45,438 bales. .
